      The Horse Marines are soon to know their fate . Mr . Childers was asked the other evening by Colonel French if the Generals of that distinguished corps were to be treated and retired in the same manner as Admirals ; but the first Lord was reticent , and begged to be excused giving an answer on the spot . He , however , promised the House that he had something in store for the officers in question . Mr . Childers is no respecter of persons .

      Apropos Of The Visit Of Prince Arthur To...

      Apropos of the visit of Prince Arthur to the United States , the Americans , in their desire to avoid the reproach of flunkeyism , have lately rather over-shot the mark . The Continental jargon about the Prince being " a decent sort of fellow " and a " well-behaved quietly-dressed youth" smacks strongly of Jeames . The best thing , however , is reported of General Somebody , —we think of General Sherman , —who is said to have alluded to His Royal Highness as " a cute young chap . " Whatever may be the real value of republican sentiment , this is a little slangy . However , it is only the old story .

      We must congratulate the Conservatives on their success at Southwark . They fully deserve , when met by such sore of opposition , to come in on the top of the tide . Indeed , if there is a level in election affairs , the Liberals of the Borough may be regarded as utterly beneath low-water mark . As for Mr . Odger , he is really to be congratulated on having escaped a seat in Parliament . Such an honour would have been the sure haltway to obscurity , whereas in his present position he exercises a wholesome and respectable influence on his brother working men , which we should be sorry to see him lose .

      I f those who are continually preaching against press license are in search of a good text , they cannot do better than take " Mordaunt v . Mordaunt , Johnstone , and Cole . " Nothing can possibly argue more strongly in favour of some decent control over newspaper reports than the disgusting prolixity with which all the journals , respectable as well as disreputable , have furnished the details of this now celebrated case . For what good

      or useful end should all England be furnished with a quantity of painful medical evidence such , for instance , as appeared in the papers of Thursday last ? There is no reason why , because a man happens to be a baronet , and is subjected to a grievous domestic affliction , all the ins and outs of his existence should be dished up as a savoury meal for newspaper readers . The ends of justice may require the production of certain evidence in a court of law , but they do in no way necessitate a flood of prurient light literature . Whatever may be the termination of this divorce cause , there cannot be two opinions as to the effect it has had in showing the bent of popular taste . A nasty press pandering to a filthy public , though : no novelty , is not an edifying or consoling fate .
