      Father Ignatius Has Been Outraging The S...

      Father Ignatius has been outraging the sensitive feelings of Lombard street by telling its denizens that even J ericho , in its worst days of Mammon-worship , was not as bad as London . They have retaliated by begging him to go to Jericho , and adding that they , for their part , prefer to stay in Jerusalem the Golden .

      We Are Constantly Encountering A Paragra...

      We are constantly encountering a paragraph to the effect " that proclamation of outlawry has again been made against the Hon . Richard Bethell . " If the son and heir of Westbury the Good goes on being made an outlaw so many times over , he will soon be in himself a second Robin Hood and his merry

      men . Why does not the law allow him a sanctuary in Sherwood Forest' ? We should think that as a hermit with pious proclivities he would prove a great attraction .

      The English Papers, Determined Not To Be...

      The English papers , determined not to be behind the French ones which were so ingenious in discovering reasons for the Queen ' s visit to Switzerland , have displayed the most elaborate poetical fancy in describing the effects of that visit on Her Majesty . " Similia similibus curantur f and we may therefore

      venture to hope that Her Majesty has learned from the example of those mighty mountains , which are always clothed in a freezing , impenetrable covering of snow , not to go and do likewise ; but rather to come out of the cold shade of retirement into the gay sunshine of life among her subjects .

      A Person Who Describes Herself As " A Yo...

      A person who describes herself as " a young lady of good family and position in society , " advertises in a daily paper for " some occupation . " Her qualifications consist in her being " a first-rate horsewoman and speaking French . " What sort of occupation can she possibly be in search of ? Does she

      desire to be stud-groom , or to explain to the membersmale and female of the establishment in which she procures , itthe precise meaning of all the slang words in modern French , novels and comedies ? On the latter supposition , we do not despair of her soon obtaining remunerative employment ,

      Lord Amv,Ert,Ey Is Highly Satisfied With...

      canvassing tour in South Devon . It is so difficult to satisfy the fastidious taste and vast mind of this young nobleman that we cannot doubt that his return is a moral certainty . His lordship has explained that , in advocating small families , he meant small in size , not in quantity ; he would have all men even as himself ,

      small in stature but gigantic in intellect . By the way , has Lord Amberley ever denied that he is a supporter of that amiable sect of humanity-worshippers , the Positivists ? He could hardly give to this rumour a positive contradiction . However , perhaps the Church of England will recover even the shock of learning that Lord Amberley is not numbered among its flock .

      We Condole With The Conservatives On The...

      We condole with the Conservatives on the loss they are about to sustain by the retirement of Colonel Fane from the representation of Oxfordshire . That honey-tongued warrior , to do him justice , was some time before he would take the hint which his ungrateful constituents and his faithless chiefs gave

      him , that he was the victim selected to be offered up to the Liberal host ; but at last , in a speech replete with those delicate flowrets of oratory for which he is so celebrated , he took leave , for a time , of his followers . Colonel Fane is a representative man , and Parliament can ill afford to lose him ; but let him not

      despair : metropolitan constituencies are on the increase , and Billingsgate ere long will doubtless be elevated to the rank of a borough . If the electors do not at once select Colonel Fane as their representative , they will deserve to be disfranchised .

      Sir Richard Mayne Seems To Have Nothing ...

      Sir Richard Mayne seems to have nothing better to do with his time than to spend it in devising ingenious methods of petty tyranny over the unfortunate people who live under his rule . The la . st insulting annoyance which he has instructed the police to practise towards free Englishmen is to disguise

      themselves in plain clothes and steal any dog that may happen to be outside his master's house unmuzzled , even if it be only on the doorstep . The airs of imperialism which this would-be Minister of Police gives himself have ceased to be ridiculous , —they have become exasperating . We only wish some dog would take the

      law into his own hands , or rather teeth ; perhaps inoculation with madness would produce an attack of common sense in Sir Richard Mayne . This is rather a wild supposition ; meanwhile , let us hope that magistrates will not countenance this infringement on the liberties of the subjectand that all constables in

      plain clothes attempting to seize harmless , dogs when with their masters will be treated as any other impertinent person is who meddles with other men ' s property .
