A BAFFLED BARBER.

A travelling friend of the OJSercer was
at Rochester the other day, and lie drop

deprived of the useless hairs upon his
face, and portion of his skin, by gar
ulous and clumsy knight of the razor,
the tonsorial artist tossed the ends OF
his hair lightly, and the following dia-
lOgue ensued: Have a cut. Victim

ENGLISH CARICATURES.- is no
more striking evidence of the change of
manners during the last hundred years,
says the Globe, than is afforded by
changes in the spirit of carieature. With
us in these days it scarcely exists. In
creased decOrun as regards external
manners, and a greater reverence for
the privacy Of all merely personal mat
ters, have almost taken from us the
power of attack possessed and exercised
by our grandfGthers and great grand
fathers. What goes now by the name
| of caricature is rather illustration than
satire, and relies more upon artistic
merit than qualities of hunOur. That
| this Is so may easily be believed from a
/ study of the works of a caricaturist like
| Gillray. Here the onslaught is fierce
and pitiless. PHYSICAL defects and
purely personal failings are savagely
brought into the light, and a public
character is treated as though no fact of
his existence were safe from impertinent
criticism and loud railery. To turn
from these pictures to the quiet and de-
mure pages of our comic periodicals of
the present day, is to note most pro-
nOunccG ar'l singular change. Our car
icaturists bow a-days even cultivate gra-
ceS Of Gc,i-i, and seem to devote them
selves to "a Kind of mild portraiture of
the prominent men of the day. We
have become so genteel that we can not
tolerate anything like clever attack, but
If the artist can produce a sound photo
graphic likeness he is held to have done
all that i needed of him, and his work
Is pronounced sufficiently amusing.

THE substitution Of the ballot for open
voting al the British Parliamentary eiec-
tiou has by no means done away with
bribery and corruption. On the con
trary. since the general election in Feb
ruIary iast, the Bridish judges have been
kept busy in trying election petitions.
and the seats Of about "a score of MEM
bcT- have been declared vacant ON the
ground Of bribery. The latest of the
eases thus decided was the one of BOs-
toni little old fashioned town with 49,
900 inhabitants and 2, $40 voters. 1t re-
turns two members, and the successful
candidates last February were Mr. Parry
and Mr. lngraliaIn, both Liberals. Mr..
Parry was 50 very liberal that he gave
To the voters with his compliments away
bags OF coal To the value of E230. No
less than 2,3Gl persons received these
gifts, so that the bribes averaged only
about two shillings each. Some money
was also given-in sums of few shill-
ings. The poor electors no doubt thought
they We're selling their votes very cheap,
but they sold them for all that, and the
Judges have nOn-seated Mr. Parry, and
declared him 10 be ineligible for re-elee-
ton for seven years to come.
