Mrs. Natss and the B.sia---Mr. Matt. In
trouble.
Its good thing to be able to laugh over trou-
bles. II is better to improve them. Now here
is Douglas Jerrold, with imaginary characters
shifting high and low in the old countries with
his wit and waggery. Hisscens Is BARRIERS shop
The debaters, the BARRIERS, MIR. Nuts, his wife
keen eye TO the dinner. The old man is radi-
cal. One Sloweoe reads Mr.. Bright's speech in
which he denOunces the law Of Primogsniture
and the aristocratic arrangements, declaring that
they should perish forever, rather than the
country should suffer Sc, and asks
Now Mr.. Mandrake, as a sensible man,
what do you call that?

Slotogoe. Perish the aristocracy cries
Mr.. Bright Perish entail aad-l see you re
sneering, Mr.. Nuts. Now--I ask it-what
is your opinion of the law Of primogeniture d?
Nuts. My opinion is the law primogeni-
ture is a kind of law of Cain-for it knocks
down the second son.

Mrs. Nuts. And, Mr.. Nuts, that's the
way you ruin your wife and family
Nuts. Truth. my dear-trulh--
Mrs. Nuts. Don't tell me. Do you
think truths like soap, that you can't shave
without it
But the scene about the Bishops is rich. The
idea Of dozen Of them 'going to strike" is
capital.
Nobby. (Wih ne,ospapsr.) Well,
never this stir about the see Of Hereford is
what call reg'lar row in Mitre-court.
Bobstcorth. And 50 il is.
Nobby. never! Lord John is GER
tainly little fast in his answer. Shouldn't
wonder if he isn't drawn and caricatured
as "The Naughty Boy wot Bonneted the
Bishops"
Moonfit. A very serious business, I've
heard. IL all's true, we shall hardly be
left Bishop to bless ourselves with. They
say, there's dozen OF EN- that's going to
strike.
Mrs. Nuts. You never mean it.
Moonfa. They won't be seen in the
same church, they say, with Doctor Hamp-
den. Here's the list OF EN- and they do
say, halfa-dozen a: least have given up all
their palaces and salaries to show how
much they're in earnest in not sitting OIL
he same bench with the Doctor. The
Bishop Of London is, at this very moment,
lodging in two pair back at a milkman's,
At Watham green for nothing-if Hamp-
len goes into Hereford--nothing, he says,
'hall ever take him back to Fulham. The
Bishop Of Lincoln was in the handsomest
way offered frst-foor by Colonel Sib-
hrop, and took his carpet-bag to the Colo
nel's lodgings on Wednesday. The Bish-
Up of Rochester has moved to fisherman's
1t Sheerness, with an intention to learn the
mans BUSINESS for future living: and
Gloucester and Bristol, and Bath and
Wells, and they do say, Chichester, and
Sarum, have, one and all, applied to MIR.
Edgngton to be taught the trade Of tent
making to earn their humble and honest
bread.
Mrs. Nuts. | won't believe it. They
never can so demean themselves.
Noonfit. But what is the most affecting
If all is this. An advertisement appeared

Moo'yea. Why this much Of it-who

r name, Of course-why, the Bishop of
Exeter.
Mrs Nuts. It's impossible, and can't

Moonfa. He's resolved never to sit with
Doctor Hampden, 50 he's gone upon the
Irst form with Yorkshire boys.
Mrs. Nuts. Poor soul! But honor
is spirit! When people know they're

never do. Still to think Of a Bishop on
