COMIC PAPERS.
(From Punch.)

" CRITICS. "—The rival Premiers (who have not exactly
" failed in literature and art ")—reading " Lothair" and
" Juventus Mundi "—see My. D.'lB new work.—Mr.
G-d-s-t-ne : "Hm !—flippant ! " Mr. D-s-r-li : "Ha !
prosy !"

THE GREATER GUY FAWKES DAY.—" All the world,'
writes the Times correspondent at Rome, " has heard
of Roman fireworks." It has. Happily, however, in
the present age those fireworks are such as we should
be only too proud to emulate, if we could, on our Fifth
of November.

AN INDIGNANT ANSWER.—What is Cardinal Antonelli
supposed to have said to Count Daru, when Daru pro-
posed so interfere with the Roman Council ? " flow
dare you ! " of course.
FRENCH JUSTICE TO IRELAND.—Comparisous are not
always odious. We can take no offence at the compari-
son implied in the query which concludes the subjoined
observation made by the Journal cl4B Debats, respecting
Greece ;--" We see with regret that the tone of the
English press has become much more vindictive. An
entire nation cannot and should not be condemned for a
single crime. Some of the London papers speak of
nothing less than of putting Greece in a state of siege,
and of making a descent there with Zouaves. What
would they say if we proposed to send some to Ireland
Certainly Greece and Ireland are very ranch like one
another, especially Ireland. What should we say if our
French friends proposed to send some Zouaves to that isle
of mutiny s That they were very kind indeed, and we
thanked them heartily, but would save them the trouble.

(From Fun.)

TAKING ♦ MEASURE.—If sixteen drams make one
ounce, how many will destroy all scruples ?
. . .

THE FOULEST STAIN ON A SHEFFIELD BLADE.—A stab
in the dark.

BLACK GAMB. —Now is your time—noble sportsmen !
in London, rookeries innumerable caw loudly for thinning.
MISSING GRINDERS.—We learn from American papers
that " Richmond reports a great dearth of organ-grinders
since the civil war." We trust the paragraph will be
circulated among the London organ-grinders, and that
they will take the hint. We always thought civil war an
unmixed evil, but the South must have found it .a blessing
in disguise. If it had the same effect in England as at
Richmond, it would almost reconcile us to putting up
with a Fenian disturbance for a few days.

(From Judy.)

A. TALE OF 4 Tun.—The French Democrat, Ig. Raspail,
has written a letter to the Washerwomen's Mutual 'Aid
Society at Lrone; in which he tells thi citiienestfee
that he will accept the pOsition of honorw member of
their Society, if they will prOinise to sthik to Vimocratic
and Republican opinions. Tf extrerie Opinions are mAy
quali4oation, gentleman rejoicing in the anr.cpriate
name of Raspail ought tcl quite at horn@ 41110lig the
tubs.

VERY DREADFUL.—According to a certain Mr. Kurz,
the Andaman islands are gradually getting submerged,
and will eventually be swallowed up in the ocean. There
are upwards of 6,000 convicts on these islands ; but there
is no occasion for immediate anxiety, for, as the submer-
sion is proceeding only at the rate of one foot in a
hundred years, it will take a thousand or so before one of
them even gets his boots wet.

TUE FRENCH FUNDS.

Renter to-day were quoted 75f. 02c.

Lord Lieutenant arrived there last evening. Pis Excel-
lency was received with much enthusiasm. To-day he will
receive an address from the Town Council, and, after visit-
ing the various institutions, will proceed on a trip down the
lower Lake Erne, visit Castle Caldwell, and rcturn in time
to proceed to Londonderry.
