      Mr . D . D . Home writes with great spirit in scorn of the great Faraday ' s proposed tests , for he feels perfectly sure that he will not be disturbed in his jugglery by rappings from the departed professor .

      Some people have expressed a fear that the honourable members of the House of Commons , in the honest warmth of discussion , would get to blows . They did worse on Thursday night last , they got to Knox .

      The Model Of The Statue Designed For The...

      The model of the statue designed for the Prince Consort Memorial in Hyde Park has been tried and condemned ; in fact , as is often the case , the shrine is too grand for the image . There may be an unconscious moral in this circumstance : perhaps all along we have been trying to place the man , as we have tried to place the statue , on too high a pedestal .

      Sir John Pakington Appears To Think That...

      Sir John Pakington appears to think that the duties of a Secretary of State for War consist , like those of a croupier , mainly in scraping up other people ' s money and shuffling . The universality of the Right Honourable Gentleman ' s genius is well known ; but certainly he will be able to rest his fame on

If it were possible to bring disgrace upon the department which he represents , he would have achieved that distinction j but that is even beyond the power of Sir John Pakington .

      There Is A Report That Butler, The Hero ...

      There is a report that Butler , the hero of New Orleans , is to come over to this country as the United States Minister .

      of the great American Civil War . However , even in this age of apathy and sycophancy , we do trust that nothing but the barest official courtesy will be extended to a creature whose name is so notorious , that we would be glad if our memory could escape the pollution of recording it . This is no case of

      There Is A Report That Butler, The Hero ...

      a man holding opinions repulsive to the majority of the English nation : it is a question of deeds ; and to accord to General Butler the same reception as to Mr . Adams , let us say , would be to lose sight of all the respect due to manliness , truth , and honour .
