SUNDAY BANDS AT SOUTHSEA.

The Times of Monday says :—" About a month ago
Lieutenant-General his Serene Highness Prince Ed-
ward of Saxe-Weimar, in command of the troops at
Portsmouth, gave his sanction to the military bands
of the garrison performing on Southsea-pier on Sunday
nights. Two conditions only were insisted upon—
namely, that the programme should consist exclusively
of sacred music, and that the concerts should not
begin until after the evening church service. Since
the sanction was obtained the sacred concerts have
been regularly held on the pier, and have been
nightly attended by about 3,000 parsons. No com-
plaint has been made that the audiences are anything
but respectable and orderly, but the whole thing has
been condemned as "a profanation of the Lord's Day"
and as leading ultimately to the Centinental Sun-
day. The pulpits have rung with denunciations, and
a ft)" weeks ago a deputation, consisting of clergy and
ministers and gentlemen connected with Sunday
schools, waited upon the Prince on the subject. In
the petition which they presented they expressed their
regret that, as the representative of the Queen, whose
respect for the sanctity of the Sabbath was well known,
he should have sanctioned the performances, and ex-
preeoed their belief that the concerts were a merely
commercial speculation on the part of the Pier Com-
pany, and encouraged the sale of drink at the bar.
Before r4lying Prince Edward has taken time to con-
sider the arguments and has consulted his superiors in
London upon the question. His answer is as follows :

" Government-house, Portsmouth, June 30.

" Gentlemen,—Your memorial has received my
most careful consideration; and I need scarcely assure
you that if the assumption upon which it is based—
viz,, that the performances of sacred music by military
bands of Southsea.pier on Sunday evenings are in-
jurious to the interests of religion and public morality,
should be proved to my satisfaction, no further re-
monstrance would be necessary to constrain me to
cancel the 3anction which I have given to these perform-
ances. That the religious convictions of any portion of
the inhabitants should be violated by my decision is
much regretted by me; but unless these convictions
are shown to be founded upon something more sub-
stantial than prejudice or custom, it is hardly to be ex-
pected that I should interfere in what I conscientiously
believe to be an innocent and rational manner of en-
joying the summer Sabbath evenings by those whose
avocations do not admit of their frequenting the pier
on othez occasions. It is with this object, and not, as
as,nimed in your memorial, to improve the receipts of a
commercial company, that my sanction has been given
to the performances of sacred music by military
bands on Sunday evenings after the hours of divine
service.-1 have the honour to be, gentlemen, your
obedient servant, EDWARD SAIE-WICI3TAR, Lieutenant.
General Commanding the Southern District and Lieu-
tenant-Governor of Portsmouth."

"CUTTINGS FROM AMERICAN PAPERS.

A little five-year•old was Bitting with his mother a
few days ago, playing at her feet, when suddenly he looked
up into her face and said, "Mother, do you know what I
want to be when I grow up?"— She shook her head—" Well,
when I grow up I want to be one of those men who cure
corns and have their pictures in the paper."
Like the generality of kings and conquerors,
Frederick the Great had philosophic indifference to the
death of others. In one of his battles a battalion of veterans
having taken to their heels, he galloped after them, bawling
out: "Why do you run away, you old blackguards? Do you
want to live for ever?

A wedding was delayed in WiEconsin recently on
account of the bridegroom suddenly remembering that he
had not fed his horse. The ceremony waited until the
animal was cared for. He explained that a good horse
couldn't be found easily, but thirteen girls were willing to
toe married to him.
One of the saddest and most touching sights in life
is that of a young man who has spent six months in coaxing
and waxing a moustache into respectable size and shape, and
then, in the act of lighting a cigar with a slip of paper,
burns and scorches the whole institution into an unrecog-
nizable mass of singedness.

"Does your sister Annie ever say anything about
me, sissy Y " asked an anxious lover of a little girl, "Yes,"
was the reply. "She said if you had rockets on your shoes
they'd make such a nice cradle for my doll."

In a tramcar an old gentleman was seated in one
corner, and the car was full. A bevy of fair ones, of all ages
and weights, swarmed in. Whereupon the gallant old gen-
tleman shouted aloud—" Ladles, I shall be most happy to
give my seat to one of you who is over thirty-two years of
age." All remained standing.

A Miss Joy was present at a party reeently, and in
the course of the evening Some one used the quotation, "A
thing of beauty is a joy for aver," when she exclaimed, "I'm
glad Pm not a beauty, for I should not like to be a Joy for
ever."

In recording some fatal accidents a Transatlantic
paper has the following—" A man in a New York rural
settlement, who has been an inveterate smoker for twenty
years, has suddenly and permanently given up the practice.
He knocked the ashes Lot his pipe into a keg 01 blasting
powder."

"I'm so disgusted with politics, and trickery, and
the subserviency of the party press," said an irate citizen of
Maryland, "that I'll never bay or subscribe for another
newspaper as long as I live—never 1 Mark my words, never I
But mind you," he added, "I don't say I'll never borrow!"

A new recipient of judicial honours in Alabama was
reminded, after the argument in a case that was being tried
before him was closed, that he should charge the jury, and
rose and said—" Gemmen of de jury, I charge you half a
dollar a piece, and I say you must pay it before de case
goes on."

A Yankee auctioneer }ately indulged in the follow-
ing little bit of the pathetic—" Gentlemen, if my father and
mott^er stood where you do, and didn't buy these boots—
these elegant boots—when they were going for one dollar, I
should feel it my duty as a son to tell both of 'em that they
were false to themselves and false to their country."

A young man writes;to a New York paper that he
wants to be an editor, to which the editor of the New York
paper replies—" Canst thou draw up a leviathan with a hook
thou lettest down? Canst thou hook up great ideas from
the depths of thine intellect, and clean, scale, and fry them
at five minute's notice? Canst thou write editorials as they
may be wanted—to measure? Canst thou write an editorial

Lambs are protected from foxes by very simple

The Bishop of Exeter presided on Monday night at
a" meeting in favour of the closing of public-houses on
Sunttys. His lordship contended that such a measure would
be conducive to a better observance of the Lord's Day, and
though, perhaps, he might be thought fanatical, he could see
no reason for the sale of liquors on that day. He thought It
would be best to stop the sale on Sundays altogether, yet in
his place in the legislature he would be quite willing to
support any measure which would cut off one, two, three,
or four hours, though by that he did not imply that he
should be content with anything less than a stoppage for the
whole twenty-four hours. A resolution in favour of Mr.
Stevenson's bill was carried, and it was decided to present a
petition to karliament in its favour.

pair on foot at a short-distance race—viz. halt a length of

yesterday, the Count getting well away at starting and
coming in some fifteen feet before the horses, mach to the
