PICKINGS FROM PUNCH'S ALMANACK,

Railways are Aristocrats. They teach every man to
know his own station, and to stop there.
It is idiotic to tell a real dream. But it is convenient
to invent one if you want to annoy anybody, as nobody
has a right to be offended at a dream, and nobody can
prove that you didn't have it.
PROGRESS OF SCIENCE, 1869.—Hairdresser (to customer):
"Shall I—blow down your neck by machinery, sir ?"
(Startled customer submits, and prefers it to the usual

THE TIPPERARY ELECTION.

There is still no definite course marked out as to
Mr. O'Donovan Rossa, M.P. The London corres-
pondent of the Dublin Mail declares that no step can
be taken towards declaring the election for Tippe-
rary void until O'Donovan Rossa has had the oppor-
tunity of claiming his seat in the House of Com-
mons. To afford him this opportunity he will,
probably, be brought to the bar of the House, and a
resolution will be moved, declaring his incapacity.
That motion being carried—and it is almost certain
to be so—a new election will be ordered.

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF SPAIN.

Despatches received from Madrid through the Agence
Havas repeat the rumour of a rapprochement between the
ex-Queen of Spain and the Montpensier family. Isabella,
on hearing of the dangerous illness of the Duchess
of Montpensier's son, telegraphed to her sister, expressing
her regret and sympathy. The Duchess, touched by this
mark of interest, thanlted her warmly for her solicitude,
and this exchange of despatches led to a better under-
standing Letwcen the two families. The regency of the
Duke of Montpensier is talked of, supposing it possible to
place the Fi ince of Asturias en the throne.

LAW AND POLICE.

THE SOMERSET AND DORSET RAILWAT.—A petition nos
been presented by the directors of the Somerset and
Dorset Railway Company, in Vice-Chancellor Stuart's
Court, praying the court to confirm a scheme for an ar-
rangement with the creditors cf the company. The principal
object of the scheme was to raise a loan of £140,000
to pay one sum of £40,000 to one creditor, and distribute
the balance among other pressing creditors, the company
being said to be insolvent. Several persons opposed the
scheme, amongst them an unpaid landowner who had
sold his property to the company, and the
representative of the Bristol and Exeter Railway
Company, who had been in the exercise of a right of run-
ning trains over the Scmcrset line. The Vice-Chancellor,
who commended the fair and honest manner in which
affairs had been conducted, said he would certainly have
confirmed the scheme if he could have done so, but he"
held that the opponents had a right to object, and if he
confirmed the scheme he would muse delay, expense, and
ve7Lation to the parties coacerned. lie would make no
order as to the cost of the application.

NIGHT CABs.-1 painful story was told of the devices of
London cab proprietors at Marylebone Police-court. The
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals organised
a staff of officers to go r( Ind at night and inspect the
railway cabs. The result was that on one night
waen the inspection was made five, cut of every six horses
in cabs proved to be lame, with wounds, and otherwise
unfit for wor.r. Several p:oprietors were fined 20s. each
and costs.
ROBBERY BY A POLICEMAN'S WlFE•—Agnes Stewart, the
policeman's wife who was convicted of stealing a cash-box
containing £l2O, has been sentenced to two years' hard
labour, at the Middlesex Sessions.
STEALING A CEILD.—Mary Jones, the woman who took
away a baby from the nursemaid and left it on the pave-
ment in the City, having stolen its shawl, has been sen-
tenced to nine months' hard labour at the Middlesex
Sessions.

ROBBING FURNISHED LODGINGS.—Thomas and Caroline
Edwards, who have carried on a system of robbing fur-
nished lodgings, twenty different persons having made
complaints against them, have been tried at the Middlesex
Sessions. The man was sentenced to five years' penal
servitude, and the wcman discharged, as she had acted
under the influence of her husband.

RUGBY SCHOOL.

The position at Rugby is becoming serious. The
total disorganisation of the school is threatened. Tho
Daily Kews publishes a letter urging the assistant-
masters to apply the remedy which is in their own
hands. The trustees have appointed a master whose
ideas of his office are against the whole of the school
traditions he has hitherto ruled on a principle
entirely different to that which Dr. Arnold inaugurated
at Rugby. The assistant-masters are the embodiment of
those traditions. Why, the Daily News correspondent
asks, should they consent to see the work of forty
years destroyed when by holding together they can
perpetuate it ? :" There may be difficulties in the way,
but I believe that if they were to resolve that Rugby
School as it is, should be continued, apart from its
endowment or their Trustees, they would be abun-
dantly supported."

FA STING rim CEDENTS.
A strong argument against the reality of the Welsh
fasting business is that nothing of the kind has been
known before. The newspaper correspondents
have
been fishing with their usual acumen and assiduity,
and the leading precedent they can discover is that
of an old woman aged 68, mentioned in the Annual
Register for 1809. This tolerably venerable impostor
lived at Tutbury, in Stafford, and had spent, it was
reported, twenty comfortable months. without food.
" Proper persons," said the Annual Register,
" were appointed to watch her day and
night; besides these, surgeons regularly visited
her two or three times a day, during which time she
did not even drink the smallest quantity of water.
Washing her mouth with water was, and is, the only
thing she continues to do." But the proper persons,
it seems, did their work very badly. In 18p, the
Register told a different tale. Several gentlemen
tried another watch with such strictness that after a
praiseworthy nine days' battle, Anne Moore gave in,
" reduced to a state of extreme debility and einacia-
ton." Shortly afterwards her solemn confession of
311 years' roguery was published. Doubtless she
congratulated herself that the age of witch-burn-
-Ing was past. Other minor cases might be
cited, but one substantial conclusion is
pretty clear. No instance of life being really
kept up without sustenance has ever occurred. The
cases on record are all cases of imposture.

ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY.

The Rcotsman anticipates a severe contest for the
Lord Rectorship of Aberdeen University. "From
the lists of the various committees, it appears that
Mr. Grant Duff will have a majority in the Angus
and Buchan Nations, and that Sir William Stirling
Maxwell will have a decided majority in the Moray
Nation, while in the Mar Nation the numbers aro
about equal." Everything, therefore, depends upon-
the latter Nation, in which the most strenuous
efforts are being made.

DEMOCRACY IN SOUTHWARK.

Mr. Odger, notwithstanding his declaration in
favour of a Fenian amnesty, does not seem to have
secured the thorough support of the Irish electors in
Southwark. One Hibernian party has held several
meetings within the last few days, and determined
to start Mr. J. P. M'Donnell, secretary of the recently
dissolved Amnesty Committee, as a candidate. But
Mr. Odger gets aid from other quarters. Sir C. W.
Mike, M.P., and Sir 11. Hoare, M.P., who were his
colleagues in his Chelsea candidature, have subscribed
£3O each to his election fund. A committee has
been formed at Stafford to receive subscriptions to
promote Mr. Odger's return.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

1-IAYLE, CORNWALL, Wednesday Night.
W. H. Holmes, Esq., Collector of Customs, re-
ports that about 9 o'clock this evening the Isis life-
boat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institu-
tion, was providentially the means of gallantly
saving the master and crew, six in all, from the
schooner Vigilant, of this port, which was in dis-
tress on the Western Spit of Hayle Bar during bad
weather, and in a heavy ground sea. This valuable
boat has been instrumental in rescuing the crews,
consisting of twenty-two persons, of three wreaked
vessels since she was placed on her station, about
three years since. She was the gift to the society
of members of the University of Oxford through the
Rev. G. S. Ward, M.A., of Magdalen Hall.
NORTII WALES, Wednesday.

The schooner Jessie, of Liverpool, laden with

limestone, from Ltaudulas, stranded off Rhyl this
afternoon (says Mr. Robert Ifughes). The crew
were saved by the Rhyl tubular lifeboat, the Mor-
gan, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution.
During a heavy north-east gale yesterday morn-
ing, before daybreak, the brig Mary Young, of
West Hartlepool, laden with iron and timber, for
Gefle, grounded on the North Gare, at the entrance
of the Tees, a mile and a half south of Seaton
Carew, and about half a mile from the shore (states
the Rev. John Lawson). The Seaton Carew life-
boat Charlotte,which belongs to the lifeboat society,
was taken down to the spot, launched, and
brought safely to shore the whole of the screw,
eight men, including the captain. In the after-
noon the lifeboat was again called out on
service. A small vessel was seen at the mouth of
the Tees, about a mile from shore, dragging her
anchor, and a steam tug was for some time making
vain attempts to get near her. The boat was
launched, and being taken in tow part of the way
by the steamer, succeeded in reaching the vessel,
which proved to be a small schooner, the Daisy, of
Berwick, laden with pit-props (timber). The fore-
mast had been carried away—not a man was found
on board, and it is feared the crew have all been
drowned. The steamer afterwards towed the
schooner up the Tees to Middlesbro'.

The very extensive Distillery now being erected
at Belfast, with all recent improvements for the manufacture of
Irish whisky, by Messrs. DUNVILLE & Co., who hays gained
a world-wide celebrity for their fine old Irish whisky, IS to be
called "The Royal Irish Distillery."

FIRST COMMISSIONS IN ABEYANCE.

The news we gave some time since that first com-
missions in the army would probably soon be placed
in abeyance, is confirmed by the issue of an order from
the Government at the Morse Guards stopping all
appointments to ensignships, &c. This order also
makes more probable the many rumours of great
approaching changes which have lately been in.cir-
culation.

A SUFFRAGAN FOIL CANTERBURY.

The Primate of All England has taken a very wise
course—one which it would have been good for the
English Church if hisGraco had taken long ago. He
has applied to the Government to be allowed a suf-
fragan. The Government has acceded to the request.
It could hardly do otherwise. Work which lays
a man down in sickness nigh unto death is
evidently too heavy. Public opinion, which has
made so great demands of late upon dignitaries both lay
and clerical, does not wish the best men to be
worked out of the world ; and yet the work must not
be left undone. So these suffragans come in to do it.
" The Archbishop (the Times announced) is anxious
it should be known that this application has been
made quite independently of his resent illness, and
that no further step will be taken for several months,
in order to ascertain whether his Grace's recovery
is as complete as there is now every reason to hope."
This announcement probably means that if, after a
reasonable period, Dr. Tait should "find his duties too
much for his health, he will—as he would if in any
secular position—resign his see.

POLICE 11V7ELLIGENC'E.-7ha Day.

BOW-STREET.

EVAIT.S'S MUSIC HALL.—Mr. " Paddy" Green,
pr,priei.ex of " Evans's," was autninoned by the
police fa! keeping his house open after the hour
fixed by ',law.

Inspector Nelson said at a quarter past one on the
morning of the 9th he visited Evans's Music Hall
and found. sixty gentlemen sitting in the hall, some
eating, diking, and smoking. The manager, Mr.
Green', c, ;um up, and then he (witness) asked if ho
knew wleat time it was, to which he replied, no.
Sir T. Henl-y—Were you in uniform ?
Inspectoz Nelson—Yes, Sir Thomas. The de-
fendant ti tu took out his watch and said it was only
ten minutes past one, and Cattle Show week. Ile
(witness) then remained outside, and up to twenty
minutes to two 56 people came out. At ten minutes
to two he again went to the door, and saw about
20 people there. Mr Green said some of those
people avere singers and waiters, and others that
they were lodgers.
In answer to the question of Mr. M. Williams,
witness said it was a fact that It was Cattle Show
week. He was not award of the arrangement that
people paid their Lills as they left the hall. There
was a man taking money at the door, and there
was a staircase leading from the hotel to the'
singing room.

In addressing the magistrate, Mr. Williams said
the defendant had for years carried on the estab-
lishment with the greatest regularity, an 1 with
respect to the present charge, the liquor being
consumed had been supplied before one o'clock.
Sir Thomas--Very wall ; but then they are not
to stop an unreasonable time in drinking it.
Mr. Williams said he hoped, under the circum
stances, that the magistrate would not think that
Mr. Green had wilfully broke the law.
Mr. Green—l beg to say, Sir Thomas, I have
no desire to act contrary to law. I cannot afford
to do it. It would be moat unadvisable for me
to do so. The gentlemen the inspector saw were
gentlemen resident in the hotel, and if the officer
visits the hall to-night he (Mr. Green) would be
very sorry if he did not find a number of gentle-
men taking their suppers after one o'clock.
Sir T. Henry said he did not think it was a case
of wilful infringement of the law, especially as Mr.
Green bad never been summoned before, and there-
fore he should dismiss the summons.
London, England, 1869-12-23

DISARMAMENT.

All the later information serves to confirm the
accuracy of the Central Press telegram, denying the
statement of the Times that France had proposed dis-
armament to the leading European Governments.
The Herald says that a scheme of the kind was some
time since the object of an exchange of correspon-
dence between the British, French, Russian, Prus-
sian, and Italian Governments. "But it is not cor-
rect to state that that idea was initiated by the
French Emperor. Moreover, the correspondence ex-
changed between the interested parties up to the
present time leaves little chance of the idea assuming
a more tangible form." Another contemporary
is more positive, and, like our telegram from Berlin,
states that there is no foundation whatever for the
report. There is too much reason to fear that
the contradiction which we first published is quite
correct.

yAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECT UAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, cold,, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

ROBBERY BT A BUILDER'S FOREMAN.--Thomas
Martin Hewitt, foreman in the employ of Messrs.
I'Anson, builders, Cirencester-place, were charged
with stealing some pieces of timber, the property of
his employers.
Mr. Joe appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Froggatt for the defence.
Joseph Lambert, formerly a sergeant of police,
•aid that having been employed by Messrs. l'Anson
to watch the premises, he saw a man in their employ
take some pieces of timber from the yard to the
house of a person named Binds, iu Duke-street,
Portland-place, and leave them there, and he then
informed Mr. I'Anson. He beard the prisoner ac-
knowledge taking the timber, saying that they were
sent to a friend of his, and that he had not booked
it.

Wm. Cooper, in the employ of the prosecutors,
said he left some pieces of stuff by the prisoner's
direction at Mr. Hinds'.

In answer to Mr. Froggatt, the witness said the
pieces were not very large ones.
Mr. John I'Auson, builder, and contractor, of
Cirencester-place, said the prisoner had been in
their employ a good many years, and had charge of
all the timber and utensils, and it was his duty to
enter everything which left the yard in a book. lie
found no entry of any timber having left the yard
on Saturday. Ile had previously had great confi-
dence in the prisoner, but latterly it had been
shaken, in consequence of timber being missed on
a large scale. It grieved him to press the charge,
but be was compelled to do so.
Fisher, a detective of the E division, said that on
taking the prisoner into custody he was very sprry
for what he had done. Oa asking Hindi about
the wood, he said he bad givers it to a man who was
at work for hint in Charlotte street, and that he had

LORD LIFFORD ON TENANT RIGHT.

Lord Lifford, in a letter to the Times, ex-
presses no very favourable opinion of tenant
right. It might have been all very well
thirty years ago, when tenants made little
objection to give up the land for the landlords'
use, but now the "right" has swelled to enormous
dimensions. It is not even confined to the land, for
the landlord is appraised and paid for according to
his good or bad qualities, even by public advertise-
ment, as much as are the houses and soil. The fol-
lowing instance, which Lord Litfurd admits to be
extreme, occurred on his own estate :
A miller holding a small mill on my property came to
me and begged me to take the mill off his hands, as from
ill-health and other circumst;:nces he found it a losing con-
cern. I agreed to do so. I put advertisements into various
newspapers, and I received tenders for the mill from
several respectable men. However, each of them threw up
the bargain at• Last without assigning any reason. This
puzzled me. I made inquiry, and I found that each
gentleman who had proposed to take the mill had received
a notice -warning him not to. do so, the tenant-right not
having been paid. Now, by whom do you suppose that
this tenant-right was claimed? Not by the tenant who
voluntarily surrendered the mill, but by the widow of a
former miller's man, of whose existence I was ignorant,
and who had no claim whatever upon the mill, except that
he had worked there, and lodg d there, as a hired servant.
The woman's demand of course-could not be satisfied, and
the mill is now a ruin.

Lord Lifford has his own idea of what a Land Bill
should be. On he one hand, justice requires that
the landlord should have the power of changing a
bad tenant for a good one. On the other hand, jus-
tice equally requires that the evicted tenant shall be
repaid for his outlay on the farm, made with the
knowledge of, and not objected to by, the landlord.

WE LSII EVICTIONS.

The agitation on behalf of the Welsh tenants who
were turned out of their holdings for voting in favour
of " the wrong men" at the last election is still
maintained. A meeting of the Welsh Reform Asso-
ciation has just been held at Liverpool. A strong
body of M. P.'s—Richards, Richard, Rathbone, Ser-
jeant Simon, and Captain Parry—were present, and
assisted in the demolition of the Welsh landlords.
Resolutions were passed expressing sympathy with
thn evicted tenants, and advocating the Ballot as the
remedy for such evils. A. cDllection was made for the
saTerers.

THE SE' AGE QUESTION.

An important Government inquiry hasbeen opened
at Aldershott. The Local Board of Health was
threatened with an action for polluting the River
Meltwater with town drainage. They answered
that the sewage from the Camp Farm was quite as
baneful, and suggested that as the Government con-
tributed to the poisoning of the river, they ought
to sl.are in cleansing it. Bence the inquiry.
Some residents in the neighbourhood haw,
affirmed that the water which came from the Camp
Farm after the sewage bad passed over it was very
offensive, and a medical officer supported this testi-
mony. On the other hand, Mr. Blackburn, lessee of
the Camp Farm, while admitting- that the sewage
water was often black, stated that the blackness was
caused by the iron-rust of the soil over which it had
previously passed. Captain Salmond, Royal Engineers,
said he had inspected the farm recently in conse-
quence of complaints which had been made, and found
it in a aood state. The Commissioner summed up with
the opinion that sewage farming was yet in its
infancy. -It must be made a special business, and the
sewage must be applied to the land in the proper
proportion and at proper seasons. He will report
shortly to the Secretary of State

CRUELTIES AT SEA.

Captain Il..ichinson, of the American ship Sonora, has
been charged with inhuman treatment by some seamen
who wore in his vessel, and a criminal prosecution will be
instituted against him. Two men have made affidavits,
reciting the miseries to which they and three other
seamen were subjected by the captain. In consequence of
bad treatment and indifferent food they ran away atNoila,
but were caught and sent back to the ship. The captain
placed them in the hold and chained their hands and feet.
A chain was stretched between two stanchions, about a
foot from the bottom of the hold, and the prisoners were
compelled to sit or lie upon the flobr under the chain,
with their arms fastened to it. The prisoners were chained
in a row, several feet apart, and in this position they were
kept until the end of the voyage—ten days. When they
arrived at Manilla, three of them bad to be taken to the
hospital, where they were left. The men have witnesses
to confirm their statement.
