Mr. Z. Mllledge's reading wee very good indeed, being
marked by correctness and taste ; Miss Hains's " I
ht-ard a sprint sing" was espsotally beautiful, and Mr.
and Mrs. Hlgger's duet so much pleased the audience
that, in spite of the leugth of the programme which
i forbad encores, they would not be denied n this
instance. The like ocourrei in Mr. B. Pearce's reading
In the "Dorset Dialect," and an or. core beiag demanded,
he read a piece of his own compos tion—" Catching
the stray pig," it was most laughable, and the &satinets
shouted with applause. The glee and trio were also
most agreeable varieties In tho programme.

Tel TICHIIOIIN2 TRIAL.
WIDIrnSDAT.
In his exposure of discirepaeoles in this @riders*, for
the defence on the Orton ruiestion, the Lord Chief
Jostles showed that Janes, Gardner, and other wit-
nesses who professed to have snow. Arthur Orton In
Australia, were oontradlued by the actual record of his
movemeois, and even by the defendant's own state-
ment. The occurrence of Arthur Orton's hieroglyphie
In defendant's early letters was pressed noon this notice
of the jery ; also the entry in the Waco Wago pocket.
book shout the arrival of " iu Robert Town.
iihttrto censure was passed upon Mr. Guildford Onslow's
Indecent championship of the defendant, and the
peouni.ry Interest he bouted of hiving in the issue.
Mr. Bitidulph's scrawlt of his first interview with the
Dt fondant, and the test questions he put about Roger
sod he having smeked together in a hotel at Bath, we.
scrutinised with • view to show that neither were the
questions so unexpected nor the answers so spontaneous
as appeared at tint sight. Reverting to the evidenee
respecting Roger Tichborne's physique, his lordship sug-
gested strong doubts about the reality of the twitch in
the feed and other peculiarities uoribed to him.

THURSDAY.
In continulog his summing up, the Lord ChitfJnotios
made rapid progress through the Tichborne witnesses
for the defenoe. As to many of them be concluded that
they had proved too much, end overshot the mark with
their astounding feats of mai:eery. Lewis, the linen-
draper's Lotharto at Alreaford, was dismissed with •
recommendation to the jury to take his evidence for
what It was worth. His lordship spent some time in
elucidating Wee Braise's remarkable position in the
cue. While condemning Dr. Sunealy's high.fi yen
panegyric upon her, be trotisidertd Mr. Hawkins had
gone too far in his retaliation on the " ministeriog
angol." His lordidde did not think that, however
reepeotablo Mr. Bulettt might be, his hasty reaogoi.
Mot, of the d fondant ought to carry touch weight.. In
gulag through the Carabinetr evidence he remarked
on the absence of many witness,s from the second
trial who had played an Important part in the first.
Sir Talbot Constable's absence seemed to him especially
noteworthy.

FRIDAY.
The evident* respecting defendant's identity with
Roger Tichborne was sifted under two distinct heads—
personal and mental. As to the former, Mr. Green-
wood, the regimental tailor, was made an important
witness, but has lordship explained how much of the
Information widish impressed Mr. Greenwood might
have been acquired by defendant. In the oleo of Mr.
Stores Smith there were fewer facilities for cramming,
and the defondent's failure had been more oonsplcuou...
Tho evidenoe of mental identity was proved to by greatly
against him In so far as he had forgotten the cardinal
events of his early life. In order to help him out of
some of his di ffiaoltiee with regard to Roger Tiohborne's
domiciles in Pr's *see ind Louvre had been suggested,
which his lordship could only regard sa a fraudulent
denim It struh him also that no true Roman Catholic
would have insulted the Attorney• General as the defen-
dant had done, in sneering at his brother an a Julia
Oat.

Ten little sinners looking mighty fine
One sunk a big ship, and then there were nine.
Nine little shiners, sitting up too late,
One shut up the "publics" and then there were tight.
Eight little sinners, trying to get to Hessen.
One wouldn't have the Bible, and to there were seven.
Soren little sinners, playing at their tricks.
The Yankees frightened one to death, and then there were

Sin little sinners, wished to keep alive,
The match.nwhers killed one, and then there were tire.
Five little sinners, rolling on the floor.
They killed one in Ilyde-perk, and then there were four.
Four little sinners, going on a spree,
The Army Bill killed one, and then were three.
Three bole sinners, durstal say " boo,"
For ft= of the Russians, and so there were two.
Two little sinners, looking very glum,
The Church of England choked one, end then there wee

One little sinner, sitting all alone,
He dissolved Parliament, and then there were north
These ten little Silltlari, had gotso very low,
The British public kicked them out, and told them all to go.

ELECTION Egon's.
Under the well known lau.L. W. E. G., (menet&
°ally, of solaria). the following parodies ire publiehed
tithe Pall Mall Gnats :
Ben Dizzy, sir, has gained the day, the Liberals are defeated,
Full many of their inenibera, air, by Tories irs unseatod
But alli you must agree with use, we're not got all the

If you'll Just please to recollect how Pakington went packing.
Now wow, wow,

Dow, wow, wow.

Of all the kings In Swroland,
There's none like good King 'CaIII,
He's not the darling of my htart,
But he stia2l be our ally.
"The Chough and Crow to roost have gone," a good old
song, lends itself to the following :
Grant Duff and Lowe to roost have gone,
And Ayrton's up a troe ;
There he asnplains with feeble moan
Like infant charity.
Finally, taking a hint from Moor•—the too amorous
Moore—l would hi these words admonish the leader—
the too snooessful le.der—of t. Oppoeltion :
Oh ! think not your fortunes will always be bright,
As they seem to you ROW in this magical hour;
For when you have crossed from the Left to Right,
You will know what a wearisome burden is power.

While your litspincil around you exultingly shout
But though you'll be ghel when you find youreeU "
I predict you'll be gladder to Bud yourself "out.*
