      News Reaches Us From America That Great ...

      News reaches us from America that great excitement has been caused in the town of Wabash , in Indiana , by a resolution to enforce the Sunday law . Men , women , and children have been indicted for fishing , sewing , knitting , and blacking boots on that day . But we understand there is no truth in the report that eating and drinking is to be disallowed , and that babies are to be denied the luxury of crying . This is , indeed , an oversight and a concession !

      Major Ditmas , R . A ., of Folkestone , has lost his pet—a wolf ! After the brute ( we mean , of course , the wolf ) had ravaged several hen-roosts and had hurt to the death six sheep , the Major kindly gave instructions that he ( the brute ) might be shot if—he ( the beast ) could not be captured ! Major Ditmas should receive a medal from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals . Surely the owners of the hens and sheep would head a subscription for carrying out this excellent idea !

      Prince Napoleon has sent his poor little son to a small school in Paris , where he is to be fed on dry bread and kept to ' work ten hours a day ! The child is seven years old ! Surely this is a case in which the Emperor might exercise a little personal power on behalf of his youthful first cousin once removed . His Majesty should order Prince Napoleon to find some other means of purchasing popularity than at the expense of his poor little son . His Imperial Highness was not ( if report is to be believed ) very terrible at the head of his Infantry in the Crimea , why then should he prove such a Tartar now that his Infantry is in Paris !

      A " Ballet Girl" wrote , the other day , to the Times , to protest strongly against the cruelty inflicted on her order by managers , who regard those who compose it as so much machinery . She , moreover , hinted that many accidents occurred that were hushed up . This is very likely , as no man , who has a reputation in humanity to support , would care to wash such dirty linen as this is public . By the way , the allusion to linen , in connection with this subject , is happy . Ballet girls , now-a-days , are treated , it seems , very much after the fashion of linen . Both are carefully " got up , " but there is this radical difference between them . Unlike linen , the ballet girl is ironed first and mangled afterwards .
