THE COMIC PAPERS:

(From Punch.)
A Boor ALL TITLE PAGES.—The Peerage.
THE LORDS' BLENDER.—Said an Irish Lunatic to AL
Irish Rector, " The Lords must have mistaken you for
I when they are for transferring the surplus 'to the
surplice.' "

DER FREISCRUTZ IN IRELAND.—A telegram from
Dublin, the other day, told us that " A body of 800
armed Catholics lay in wait in "Wolfe's Glen for Protes
tants, but encountered none." In the opinion of many
people it is a pity that these Catholics were disappointed
of meeting their Protestant match in the NVolf(e)'s glen,
and that Zamiel didn't fly away with both sides.

A CHANGE FOR OLD IRELAND.—May Hope (not
Beresford) turn out to have told no flattering tale to the
Right Rev. Samuel, Bishop of Oxford, when she said that
to him which made him say to the Lords, in the Irish
Church Bill debate, that he was "hopeful of a great
resurrection in Ireland." A resurrection will be a great
improvement on insurrections.
A NOBLE MARKSMAN.—In the Morning Post, the other
day, appeared a letter on " Pigeon Shooting," vindicating
it from a charge of special cruelty, and signed
"Willoughby de Broke." Doubtless the cruelty of
pigeon-shooting has been greatly exaggerated, and its
champion is a dead shot, otherwise one might ask whether
his signature should not have been 1! Willoughby do
Brokenwing."

(From Fun.)

PAPER.—Our worthy contemporary The Globe is surely
a little behind the time ! It devoted an article the other
day to the discussion of paper as a material for clothing.
It mentions :—" Important garments, of great strength
and flexibility, which can be sewn with a machine, giving
seams almost as strong as woven fabric ! The inventor
has particularly applied it to the production of petticoats.
which are either printed in imitation of the fashionable
skirts of the day, or stamped out with open work of such
beauty and delicacy as no amount of labour with scissors
and needle could imitate. The marvel is that these really
beautiful productions can be sold retail at 6(1. each !
Imitation cretonnes and chintzes for bed furniture are
also made, a set costing retail about 55." - The Globe must
be aware that so far from this being a novelty, it is a
fashion, which, by force of circumstances, is (lying out.
Why, before the collapse of the house of Overend, Gurney,
and Co., numbers of City men not only clothed but fed
their families on paper, while not merely their residences
but their places of business were constructed of the same
material !

TUE GREAT 310E1).117NT CASE. —ln the
Divorce Court on Wednesday (before Lord Penzance)
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine applied that certain matters in
relation to this case should be heard before his lordship in
Chambers, his reason for making the application being that
no misapprehension should exist in the mind of the public
that Sir Charles Mordaunt was not anxious to prosecute
the case.—His lordship said matters had been before
the Chambers, on several occasions, but had been post-
coned in order that the necessary affidavits might be pro.
duced. He thought the best arrangement that could now
be made would be thaill §4.9igiNgc it giglo'cluksu
