" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir cumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of 20 years. Sold in bottles at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and lls. each, in every town in the kingdom. CAUTION.

There are certain Court officials who change with the Government, and who are called Lords in Wait ing. Hitherto they have been content to wait, believing that they thereby also served their party. But Mr. Gladstone, the economical Premier par excellence, has hit upon a capital idea for utilising these walking, or rather standing gentlemen. He has decided to affiliate the more promising of them to the public offices which are not otherwise repre sented in the House of Lords, and they will have to answer whatever questions are asked with regard to their respective departments. They will, in fact, be honorary under-secretaries or junior lords. Earl Morley and the Earl of Camperdown have been selected for this experiment ; and the Marquis of Lansdowne, full of patriotic zeal, has offered himself to Mr. Gladstone as a volunteer official. Such an offer from such a quarter could scarcely be rejected, and so the marquis is to be made an extra unpaid Lord of the Treasury, It is too soon to estimate the value of these services to the public. To the Premier they bre valuable, inasmuch as they will enlist in behalf of the Government the s..iipathies of influential noblemen. The noblemen themselves will benefit by learning the art of - statesmanship. The first lesson that th e M arqu i s a Lansdowne will have to learn is to avoid some thing which looks very like snobbery. It is given out that " his large fortune would prevent his accept ing a small official berth with a salary attached to it." Naturally, the question is suggested, would the marquis accept a large official berth and salary? If so, he would excite the very suspicion that he is so anxious to deprecate, would lead it to be supposed that money is of some object to him. By the time his lordship has reached his twenty-fifth year he will have learnt enough of government to know that while no statesman serves the State for pay, State money does not degrade anybody who does the State service. PROTRACTED CAUSES Sir James Wilde gave counsel a useful hint the other day, suggesting that they should condense their observations as far as was consistent with the import ance of the action in which they were engaged. The case was that of " Hunt and another v. Anderson." The judge feared that with the materials counsel had before them the trial might last over a fort night. It should be noted that the judge was trying the case with a s p ec i a l jury. From what we have lately seen, these long trials only serve to bewilder the minds of ordinary jurymen, who frequently fail to agree in their verdict. Counsel have, of course, an excellent motive for prolonging them, seniors and juniors going over the same ground, and their fees accumulating daily. The interests of justice would not, however, suffer if there was a little less talking, and a more careful sifting of evidence, to the exclusion of matter totally irrelevant. ' THE STATUTE OF " GOOD QUEEN ANNE." Mr. Thorold Rogers, late Professor of Political Economy at Oxford, writes to combat the arguments which the Times has used in favour of abolishing the statute of Queen Ave compelling members of the House of Commons to seek re-election on taking office under the Crown. Mr. Rogers is very bitter against the Times t and declares that the interests of its powerful organisation are, " with rare exceptions, opposed to the public conscience and the public good ;" so that Mr. Cobden was right when he said, " Whenever I get the praise of the Times I am afraid I have done something wrong." Mr. Rogers considers-that the statute of knne is a great check upon political conspiracies. For instance, Lord Derby in 1860 made overtures to the Adullamites. Who can deny that the prospect of being defeated on seeking re-election prevented men like Lord Elcho and Lord Grosvenor from accepting the overtures? Further, it must be remembered that, inasmuch as the enormous expense of a general election gives a Ministry in a minority great power over the House of Commons, any change which diminishes the opportunities by which the country may make known its sentiments and pass judgment upon its rulers ought to be resisted. Mr. Rogers overlooks the fact that the statute failed both to prevent the conspiracy of 1806 and the maintenance of a minority Ministry for two years. THE SLIGHT TO MB. JOHNSON A letter from Mr. Robert Coningsby appears in the Times to explain the part he took in the recent proposal to entertain the American Ambassador. He originated the proposal, and everything was arranged, when some leaders of the working men said a mistake had been made in electing Mr. Coningsby chairman, because of some letters which appeared four years ago in the columns of the Times. He then gave way for Mr. Odger. These men now caused the meetings to be held at the Reform League offices, and Mr. Beales'appeared upon the scene, and made his celebrated speech about a " tainted medium." A foreigner, calling himself " Citizen something," also objected to Mr. Johnson. Every decent man was disgusted, says Mr. Coningsby, and the affair fell through. The only matter of the slightest consequence is, that Mr. Johnson should understand that these ill-mannered people represent no one but themselves, and thus represent nothing at all. Moreover, people who prefix " Citizen "to their names, whether Englishmen or foreigners, have nothing in common with the bulk of our countrymen. The word is identified with events at which we shudder. THE INDIAN TELEGRAPH. Another rupture in the telegraph between England and India suggests with renewed force the often askect question how long this country will rest con tent with the means of communication between this country and her Eastern Empire. It has been stated that there would be no insurmountable diffi culties in laying down a submarine cablb from Falmouth to Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexandria, thence by land to Suez, and another submarine line by Persia, Aden, Point de Gallo, and thence to Port Essington in Australia ; altogether a distance of about 10,000 miles. If Government would but gua rantee the interest, the capital would be found at once. Within the last three months England has subscribed £20,000,000 for the construction of railways in the Russian Empire—works which will greatly facilitate an attack upon India. In the meanwhile nothing is being done towards the construction of a railway through the Euphrates Valley, or a trust worthy Anglo-Indian telegraph, either of which works would help us to resist such an attack. THE MERCHANTS' COMPANY. Mr. Stuart Lane, finding that other persons share the opinion of Lord Mayor Allen respecting the recent proceedings in his court re the Merchants' Company, has addressed a circular to the shareholders, in which he declares his desire to have the whole matter investigutea. ror tins purpose ne proposes that all the books and accounts of the firm of Lane, Hankey, and Co. shall be inspected by two com mercial men of high standing, the ono to be appointed by the shareholders, the other by himself, and the two to name an umpire ; half the expenses to be borne by Mr. Lane. Mr. Lane is to be congratu lated upon adopting a suggestion almost identical with that which was recommended in the Western lifornina,Are2ranlina the_Plyavauthslectioa....—ltis C- 0 '2 only to be regrettea tnat ne aiallet-aetpt tne aarlee, tendered to him three months ago. , ALL ABOUT A BOW. There is a conunn of the Star devoted to a corra l spondence of nine letters. It reads like A tale told by an idiot Full of sound and fury • Signifying nothing. Lord Monson, as trustee to the Earl of Guildford,: writes to Mr. Sheriker Finnis, chairman of the Liberal party at Dover, to say that he hears Mr. Finnis used unjustifiable language towards " Lady North's husband " at the Dover election, and con sidering Mr. Finnis's long connection with the, • estate, the trustees are anxious for an expla-. nation of his conduct towards Major Dickson. Mr. Finnis then writes to Lord Monson to ask if he has been hoaxed, or if the letter is authentic. His lordship replies that it is. Mr. Finnis does not understand Lord Monson's allusion to his long con nection with the estate; but if he will write as Major Dickson's friend and give particulars, Mr. Finnis will explain. Lord Monson replies that ho does not wish to interfere with electoral rights, and repeats his vague charge. This kind of thin , r goes on rather tediously, and the upshot of it is that Mr. Finnis declared he would move heaven and earth to oppose Major Dickson, and that he had passed Lady North and Lord Guildford in the streets without bowing'. Mr. Finnis says he is not acquainted with th ese persors. Lord Monson has the last shot, and tells Mr. I innis that, as he won't apologise, the agent of Lord Guildford's property is instructed to close all business transactions with him at once. Thus is this impenitent sinner summarily dealt with. 2 ,„ (/C;e PAUPERIS3I AND CRI2,IE. A most interesting meeting has been held in the rooms of the Society of Arts by the Association for the Prevention of Pauperism and Crime. Lord Shaftesbury took the chair, and Dr. Ha wkesly read a paper on " The Charities of London and their Administration." He said these charities amounted to 800, besides many private local and paro chial charities. Of these 800 societies, 637 were expressly devoted to giving relief in clothing, provisions, and other necessaries of life, and the total amount distributed by them reached the enormous sum of £4,000,000 per annum. He pointed out the evils resulting from the more or less indis criminate manner in which these funds were admi nistered, one consequence of which, he said, was that the really deserving and actually destitute poor were too frequently neglected. He made several practical suggestions as to the better administration of the poor laws. Mr. J. Ruskin and others spoke much. In the same strain, and the objects of the society were discussed. That any poor creature should starve to death in our midst when this enormous amount is spent in charity is simply a repetition of the fable of Tantalus. Systematic action is not the strong point of Englishmen. Our constitution is a "fortuitous concourse of atoms," and our administration of relief the most interesting game of chance. A WARNING. It is generally thought that we never sang an innocent man. There are some who think differently., and, rightly or wrongly, the case of Wiggins see me d to some to favour the contrary theory. Two men, Bisgrove and Sweet, have just been condemned to death at Taunton for murder. Bisgrove has fortu nately confessed that he alone did it. " Sweet had nothing to do with it." Thus an entirely inno-, cent man, if Bisgrove's confession be true, has, escaped death by mere chance. It is evident that, with all the precautions of justice, innocent men are found guilty and punished for offences which common sense will see by the evidence they never committed. They lose their business, their reputation, their health, their friends. This is bad enough ; but that the law should take away the life of an innocent man is such a horrible thing, that we can hardly wonder at the timid verdicts of juries and their recommen dations to mercy. GOLD IN SUTHERLAND. A correspondent of the Times writes to corroborate the statement that there is gold in Sutherland. This was known to many elderly people in the neigh bOurhood of Druness, and the reason alleged for the non-working of these mines of the precious metal is as follows :—From the time King Charles I. created the great chief of the Mackays—Donald, son of Hugh Mackay—Lord Reay, with the possession of the tract of land known as the " Reap Country," the family forbade any digging for gold or other metal in the place mentioned, for fear that the Crown would appropriate the land in question to itself. How far this may be true perhaps some of the representatives of the Reay family may be able to explain. BEHIND THE SCENES. The recent increase in the number of metropolitan theatres has induced the Daily News to publish an interesting article on the management of these insti tutions. The proprietor of a theatre gets a good per centage on the outlay of his capital so long as the rent is paid. This, together with taxes and insurance, generally amounts to about £7O a week, so that it is necessary that the lessee should be a thoroughly responsible person if the lessor is not to lose his money. This amount is a tolerably large item to begin with, but it is only one of many. News paper advertising costs £4O weekly, and bill-posting another considerable sum. Several months ago theatre managers met together in order to concert some means of diminishing this expenditure ; but they were unable to agree, and so the w-lls of London are more than ever covered with pictorial representations of the most sensational scenes which are being put upon the various stages from time to time. The wardrobe costs many hundred pounds, although actresses are obliged to find their own bonnets, boots, and gloves, and actors in plays of modern life find their own dresses. Scenery costs £5OO a year, independently of the staff required for superintending and shifting it. As the scenes have to be shifted with the rapidity of lightning, the number of scene-shifters is legion, and they have to be well drilled by the master carpenter. It is very seldom that the scenery of one piece will do for another; but there is a certain quantity of forests, interiors, and gardens kept on stock for farces. The gas bill amounts to £3O a week. Few dramas are without moonlight effects ; these are produced by the lime-light, and the moon in a Christmas pantomime costs £2O a week. The orchestra is paid £3O a week. The salaries of stock actors vary from £l2 to £2, and " stars " often get as much as £6O. The first are great sticklers for etiquette. No one, however, will ever play a part of a hair's breadth out of his own particular line. If a first walking gentleman were asked to play a third walking gentleman's part, he would be as indignant as an Attorney-General were he called upon to defend a pickpocket in a police-court. Managers are often blamed because minor parts in a piece are badly played ; they cannot, however, help themselves, because good actors will not play them. Actresses stand even more on their dignity than actors; their mutual jealousies exceed even those of fine ladies. Audiences must often have remarked that in burlesques songs and dances are introduced in defiance of the requirements of the situation. The reason usually is that Miss A. refuses to play unless, like Miss 8., she be given a song, or, like Miss C., a dance. The " stars " like to play in a piece in which all the interest is concentrated on themselves, and in which there is no expensive scenery, so that they may the more readily get engage ments in the provinces. These two requirements are just what the public do not like ; they disap prove of meagre scenery and of " one-actor " pieces. Ballet girls get 255. a week, and are by no means of the " fast " type usually supposed. A play is paid for either by a percentage on the profits, or so much a night, or the play is bought. Three or five act plays, when not paid for by a percentage on profits; usually cost from £2OO to £3OO, or from £3 to £5 every night they are acted. The price of a good bur-; lesque varies from £5O to £l2O. Farces are seldom worth more than £lO. Their success usually depends more upon the actors than the authors, These particulars suffice to shew that a theatre is a very speculative affair so far as the lessee is con cerned. The increase in the number of theatres makes the chance of profit more doubtf u l th an ever . In order to meet this excessive competition the East end theatres have hit upon th e d ev i ce o f l ower i ng t h e price of admission, and havi ng t wo per f ormances i n the same evening. The Pall Mall Gazette states that at some theatres the admission to the pit is only 4d., and at one the admission to the gallery 34 only Id. BOILER EXPLOSIONS. A Gateshead jury has been sitting for four hours to inquire into the late boiler explosion at that: place, Wmcn causca tne aeatn of three men. Several practical men were examined, and nothing could be adduced from their evidence to chew the cause of the explosion, or to lay the blame on anyone. The coroner remarked that although he was able to call in a medical man as to the cause of death, he was not allowed to employ a scientific man to sit beside him as an assessor in a case like the present. He thought that a coroner should have some assistance. An engineer who was examined con sidered that working boilers should be inspected every month. In this case he could not state posi tively the cause of the explosion, as the outer plates were lost. There was nothing therefore for the jury but to return a verdict that the men died from the explosion of the boiler of the steam wherry Eleanor. An engine-might has stated that a few days before the explosion he had been told of a leakage in the boiler, but as it was said to be of no import ance he did not remedy it. He had not examined it in the inside, as no complaint was made. If he had seen such a piece of iron as that •produced in court, he should have condemned it at once. He recommended inspec 4-ion every three months. It is high time that the condition of boilers and, their inspection were consti-' tuted into an exact science and were leo : A .pubjee4 I I I
