      11 Save me from my friends" has no doubt often risen to the lips of the new Premier ; but " Save me from my publishers " would be more to the point now .

      Whatever may be the end of man , there can be no doubt when we see those long trains gracefully sweeping the floors and roads , that the end of woman is— " Dust . "

      ! To be sent to Coventry used to be considered equivalent to a sentence of social transportation . Recent disclosures , however , prove that Coventry , far from being a Limbo , is a Paradise --for the friends of Mr . Knapp , the election agent .

      Mr . Disraeli is " warned" of his early faults by a wellknown firm , who are calling attention to fresh editions of " Alroy " and " Ixion , " which might have been left out of the number of successful novels which we owe to the Prime Minister .

      Ireland Seems Sinking Lower And Lower, T...

      Ireland seems sinking lower and lower , till she threatens to deserve Juvenal ' s sneer at Hannibal , " pueris placeas et declamatio fias , " which , being freely translated , means Ireland is becoming " a mere plaything for ' the boys , ' and food for talkey-talkey . "

      Lord Ch Elms Ford Cannot Deny That He Ha...

      Lord Ch elms ford cannot deny that he has been treated with honour by the hand that destroyed him , an honour all the more valuable to a truly conservative mind , as it was one bestowed on kings and chiefs in the very earliest ages . Has not the Right Hon . Benjamin Disraeli erected Caims to mark the spot where Chelmsford fell ?

      Mr. Sergeant Gazelee Objects To Executio...

      Mr . Sergeant Gazelee objects to executions taking place within the prison walls , because he thinks it is the right of the poor man to be hung in public . We suppose , for a similar reason , he would object to confine his speeches to the privacy of his own study , because it is the right of ( shall we say ) " veiy wise men " to exhibit themselves in public !

      So Sir Robert Peel had the best of the Charity Commissioners after all , and Sir Richard Malins was saved the terrible shock of having to decide a point against a baronet and an M . P . If Sir Robert Peel had such a very good defence , why did he not bring it forward before . Next time he takes such liberties with the law , he may find justice is not represented by a—Justice Malins !

      Earl Russell is constantly reminding the nation how much we owe to him . As if the nation wanted a reminder ! The Civil Service Estimates are published every year . But why does not England do something for this child of hers , whose mind is even smaller than his body ? Let his grateful countrymen erect a mansion for him ! Where , do you ask 1 Why , in Vinegar Yard .

      Mr. Disraeli Has Reached Nearly The High...

      Mr . DISRAELI has reached nearly the highest point which a commoner can reach . But for him there is one step higher yet . We do not mean the Upper House , that respectable vestibule of the grave , where worn-out statesmen rehearse for " the Long Sleep . " No , Mr . Goldwin Smith declares that only when he hangs where Big Ben does now , will he have attained the greatest elevation of which he is capable .

      The Queen, In The Kindness Of Her Heart,...

      The Queen , in the kindness of her heart , has given a copy of A Journal of our Life in the Highlands to each of the metropolitan hospitals . We wonder if the libraries of these excellent institutions are accessible to the inmates . We do not think so . Should it not have occurred to the hospital officials that books are meant to be read . Let us remind them that in this instance the Queen ¦ has mat intimated it snouia that her little to gift is for its

      Admirers Of The Poet Swinburne, Of Whom ...

      Admirers of the poet Swinburne , of whom there are a few who are yet neither lepers nor Phrynes , declare that a carte de visite which brackets him and the Menken is a mere trick of the photographer . We would fain wish it were so . We know that photographers can produce cartes which resemble Barnum ' s luauuiauiuicumciiiuul wiuuii inon

      We Cannot Quite Follow Mr. Gladstone's L...

      We cannot quite follow Mr . Gladstone ' s logic . The endowments of the Protestant Church in Ireland ought to be done away with beeause nearly all the inhabitants are Roman Catholics ; but a Roman Catholic College ought not to be endowed because the Roman Catholics are a mere section of the population ! Does not a good deal of this paltry

      self-contradiction which distinguishes English advocates of Ireland ' s wrongs , arise from the fact that they really , in their heart of hearts , hate the Roman Catholic Church , while they are not capable of fidelity to their own ?

      King Louis, Of Bavaria, Is Said To Be Me...

      King Louis , of Bavaria , is said to be meditating abdication , so as to devote himself more exclusively to music . He would have done so before only he did not like—sensitive soul—to impose on Bavaria , while the elder Louis was alive , the cost of supporting three kings at once . But why should an useless king be supported at all by the State ? When will a monarch icam nidi is niwicniiu uci lain uuilca at
