ROYAL AIrI:TBRMENTS.
There is a humorous picture in the Orchestra of
the Christy Minstrels' performance in the presence
Df Majesty. At first when summoned they could
not believe it; but when there could be no doubt of
the reality, they prepared to tickle the royal ears
with the skilful manipulation of the " bones,' and to
lelight the royal eyes by the exposition of grinning
rows of teeth. At first the Queen was somewhat
apathetic, but at last was graciously pleased to
applaud, and their joy was complete. They afterwards,
having washed the smut off their faces, prepared
to attack the royal provisions, and were delighted
with the condescension of Mr. John Brown. The
Orchestra is pleased to find that the Queen is emerg-
ing from her retirement, but expresses some surprise
at her choice of amusements for public patronage.
It will be remembered that these Anglican " niggers "
now distinguish themselves from the " original "
and other minstrels as the recipients of royal
favour. We note that immediately the Prince and
Princass of Wales arrived in Paris they rushed off
to hear their beloved Schneider once more.

TILE NEW PRIMATE.
The John Bull has some curious anecdotes relating
to the recent appointment of Bishop Tait to the
Primacy, and the accompanying translations. The
High Church party, it is said, would infinitely have
preferred an Evangelical bishop in the see of London
to the Bishop of Lincoln. One dignitary of the
Church, a Conservative, thinks the appointments,
with the exception of Archdeacon Wordsworth's, as
bad as could be made, and says : " I had almost rather
have seen the outrage of Stanley attempted than the
kindred undermining of Bishops Tait and Jackscn."
Another great supporter of the Government, thinking
the Bishop of Lincoln's translation not yet decided.,
writes that " the promotion of London is not viewed
with unmixed satisfaction, but the promotion of
Lincoln would be received with indignation, and
threaten the separation of Church and State with a,
vengeance." A Conservative Peer would not be sur-
prised if, when Mr. Gladstone came into power, he
refused to confirm the appointment of London. The
balance, he thinks, should have been adjusted by
sending the Bishop of Oxford to London. The John,
Bull states that six seats have been lost to the Con=
servatives by the appointment of London. Our
contemporary finally calls upon Conservatives to
make allowances for Mr. Disraeli's difficulties._
THE NOMINATION DAY.
The Daily .Kews returns to the question of the
inutility of the hustings and the proceedings con-7
netted therewith. It speaks of the nomination, 8.7 c.,
as a " pantomimic performance, trying the temper
of all sides in turn, and giving rowdyism
and violence an opportunity." The whole thing
is out of date. " The nomination of par-
liamentary candidates might be effected in the
same way as that of municipal candidates—by
written notice to the returning officer, and might be
announced by him in the same manner—by public
advertisement. The announcement of the polling
place is even now made by advertisement, and
nothing more is necessary to be done than to abolish
the farce of nomination in a riot, and provide that it
shall be made in writing, and communicated to the
people by legible advertisement, rather than by half-
incomprehensible pantomime."
THE FAREWELL SPEECH OF MR. ROEBUCK.
There has been something very pathetic about
Mr. Roebuck's struggle at Sheffield. It was a fight
between sentiment and argument. Where a man
throws himself on you, and claims considera-
tion for past faithful services—even though
in the future he will promise nothing,
and there is every indication that he will go
wrong—it is very difficult to dispute his claims. It
took very many indiscreet speeches, a large number
of political blunders, and no end of offensive declara-.
tions of independence, to alienate the people of
Sheffield from the man who represented them so long.
But the great question put to Liberals from every
side was, " Will you help Mr. Gladstone
to carry a no-confidence vote ?" Mr. Roebuck
could not answer in the affirmative, and thus added
the last straw which broke the back of the ass.
His farewell speech is worth reading. Even the
Star, one of his bitterest enemies, says it is " not
without dignity "—one way of saying that it
is dignified. He accepts the decision of
the electors, though not acquiescing in its wisdom
and justice : " Whether time is to reverse this
decree time must shew ; for me it is a final one. I
am too old to wait for the decision of time—though
I am confident that when calm reflection takes the
place of excitement and prejudice, it will be
acknowledged that I have been always a faithful
servant, and that my services deserved a different
return. I make no complaint, I make no accusa-
tions. The future must decide between me and the
newly-made constituency of Sheffield."
FINLEN AND ANOTHER HYDE-PARK DEMONSTRA..
TION.

The mighty Finlen will not be put down. His
soul rises above •the vulgar crew who think that
charity and reform should begin at home. His
active intellect • must be at work. He must
keep himself before the world, whether through
the agency of the police-office, by brawling,
or by demonstrations. His latest "move" to
" get his name up " is certainly very original.
Now, some twelve months after the death by execu-
tion of the " Manchester martyrs," he puts forth a
placard announcing a " funeral procession." We
had imagined that a " funeral " procession was
a procession following the dead. But hero
again the redoubtable Finlen is above all
such carping criticism. He will deliver an oration
in honour of the martyrs—in his old haunt of Hyde
Park. Even the Holborn branch of the Reform
League find this too much for them, and write
denying any connection with the grandiloquent orator.
Can nobody shut Mr. Finlen up ?
MEDICAL OFFICERS OF UNIONS.
The local secretary to the Poor-law Medical
Officers' Association has written to the Right Hon.
H. Brand upon the subject of the salaries of medical
officers of unions. Mr. Brand, in his reply,
promises to give the subject his best consideration,
and adds that, as a magistrate and a guardian, he
has often been struck with the inadequate remunera-
tion extended to them. If returned to Parliament,
it is to be hoped that the right hon. gentleman
may find other members as willing to give the
matter their attention. The medical treatment
of the workhouse poor is notoriously wanting, and
the medical profession knows it. If it were not for
the sake of the interesting cases brought under the
notice of young general practitioners—cases much
better worth study than the ailments of private
patients—no one would be found to undertake the
task. As it is, unfortunately, there are too many
men who accept such appointments and then grossl4.
neglect the duties.
