      THE WEEK .

      It is to be hoped that when the Government takes the telegraphs under their charge , they will not favour us with performances on the slack wire .

      Considering the " Attic salt" with which the late Lord Cranborne seasoned all his speeches , we may describe his elevation to the Upper House as a Salis-burial .

      Easter Seems Becoming A Second Christmas...

      Easter seems becoming a second Christmas more and more every year . Those who were fortunate enough to assist at the first night of one of Mr . Burnand ' s burlesques on Easter Monday must have felt that they had made acquaintance with " The Easter Waits . " I

      ! We are informed that it is incredible the exertions Mr . Guinness has put himself to in the Irish capital to ensure success in all quarters . Corresponding right and left to enforce the presence of as many notabilities as possible , we understand he will be good-naturedly known as Dublin ' s Tout .

      We notice in the Court Journal a . description of some garrison theatricals in Ireland , at which Captain Thingamy and Major So-and-so executed the most prominent parts in a comedy and two farces . Does this mean that they murdered the characters ? That is the only kind of execution we ever met with in private performances .

      Go , bitter Cranborne , allez , go , 'Midst ermined angels sleep ! The Gangway shall o ' erflow with tears Which Lowe and Horsman weep . Dizzy can Salisbury defy

      , Who dreaded Cecil's sneer ; Go ! thou wert peerless in this place , And now—thou ' rt but a peer !

      Some Enthusiastic Natives Of Abyssinia W...

      Some enthusiastic natives of Abyssinia who found that the British troops paid for what they took , and paid well too ( as it was with public money ) , exclaimed in the rapture of their souls , that these white men would turn the country into a Paradise . It appears that the authorities have done something towards

      such a pleasing result by stripping some Turkish and Egyptian muleteers , whom they discharged , stark naked , before dismissing them . We suppose this was an attempt to inaugurate a return to the state of primeval innocence .

      That The Appointment Of Mr. Anthony Trol...

      That the appointment of Mr . Anthony Trollope , who has been entrusted by the Government with a mission to the United States for the purpose of making a new postal treaty , should have been commented upon rather roughly in some quarters is not a matter of surprise to anyone who is acquainted with the old-fashioned official jealousy that opposes all grac ul

      acts towards literary men . What is noteworthy , however , is that there should have been so much outcry in this particular instance . Surely , the best person to conclude a postal treaty is a man of letters . '

      The Guildford Guardians Only Relieve Suc...

      The Guildford Guardians only relieve such vagrants as they think worthy of relief . To this the Poor Law Board feebly and ineffectually objects . It is almost impossible to contemplate the vagrant whose character would meet with the approval of the guardian angels of the poor . An intelligent and

      benevolent creature who had kept his dog on two / ounces of meat a week , his wife on his dog ' s leavings , and his children on the surplus ; who had watched them starving to death with a placid benignity ( the result of rather a higher allowance oh his own part ) , and had buried them without burdening the rates , might perhaps reach that standard of economical philanthropy to which Poor Law officials , alas ! how seldom successfully , aspire .
