      The Wee Jt.

      THE WEE JT .

      It is said that , under existing circumstances , the French have determined upon a revision of their table of relationships . They will begin by abolishing the Cousin German .

      It is stated that a single firm alone in Regent Street has , during the last five years , sold 70 , 000 photographic portraits of Madame ; Adelina Patti . La Diva has , indeed , become a Household Goddess .

      IN the ' i list of munificent contributions to the Sick and Wounded Fund , the donation described as " per Sir H . Verney , Bart ., one shilling , " becomes quite a specialty . We congratulate Sir H . ( as we know nothing of this baronet we will risk a shot at his Christian name ) on his debUt in print .

      The Times states that the Austrian Government has obtained an advance of a million sterling for three months from an association with which a leading firm in Vienna and elsewhere is connected .

      An acrobat was charged the other day , at a Provincial Police Court , with cruelty to a little child seven years old , his apprentice . The child was sent to the workhouse . What a pity for the poor little fellow that he had not arrived at an age of discretion , for he surely , in the face of the alternative , would have elected to break his neck .

      A circular has just been issued from the War Office impressing upon soldiers the advisability of making their wills . This is rather putting the cart before the horse . Before the authorities took the trouble of pointing out the disadvantages of intestacy , they would have done well to have shown the men what they have to leave .

      A Circular Has Just Been Issued From The...

      Considering the intense animosity , a certain " High Class Liberal Paper " has shown lately on every occasion on which it has dealt with ' what concerns the French Emperor , it is to be hoped thatjn ' the event of his ever coming over to England at the head ^ of a \ victorious army , the Editor may , failing other

      means , volunteer his services to this country as a sort of liarmodiusy and give the " high class liberal" world a lesson on the practical remedies for despotism . Till then , however , no more appropriate title could be found for the journal in question than its present one of " The Daily Noose / " If words could hang Emperors , " high class liberalism " would manage it .

      Charity!

      CHARITY !
