The Gong.


Speaking of gongs, a trio of old ladies, del

give Mrs rrodwell's own description of it:

out, "t'eathers is non-conductors Directly
the alfred howlin thirs shut up, and then
there was sound of folks runnn' down
stairs fit to break their necks. We were all
maxim for the door to run too, when some
thing knocked just then. We were afraid
to open, but ut last Miss Saffron, bold rs a
l!s.on, advanced and peeped through key
hole There we stood, shivering with fright
just at this very moment the door opened,

On Wednesday, the firing was renewed early

This is not the ex parte statement ofa South
erner, culled with villainous intent from old
law books, or part history, and strung into
romance in order to make money, it is the
statements of Englands Lords and Lord
Bishops, and is a living, breathing, terrible
reality. Oh yc Stoves and other humbugs
Here is mares nest for you. Come quaff
the delightful draught-take it, beseech
you, and hash up romance with which to
horrify the world. Take it, and prove by it
that the Brittons are behind all the world,
in science, education and refinement, that
the aristocracy are sensual and ennervate,
and the democracy blackguards and Williams,
because their social system allows such things.
But an answer is obtained to all this The
novelist finds nothing striking in this, though
it does in that, simply because that relates
to black skins, this relates to white. There
is much wretchedness in London. To a
Southerner who passes his lifetime, without
meeting beggar, itispainful inthc extreme.
At every turn, squalid wretches implorc your
charity, "blood thirsty wretches" as the
southcrncrs are. You can pick them out of
the London crowd any day that they are on
the strcet-for they, apparently, find it i'm
possible to pass the unhappy creatures with
out an aims, whilst all others, with shrug
of their shoulders, pass on. F. A. NJ.
