The Paviour of Society {Cartoon).—See “ Introduction ”
as to Spain.
Miniature Epic.—“ The Duke oe Cambridge (Com-
mander-in-Chief) was assaulted in Pall-Mall (near Sams’s)
by a retired captain, whose mind had become affected
through what he considered a denial of justice by officials
at the Horse Guards.”—Irving’s Annals.
Notice.—See Note to p. 23. The “ Boss ’’ was a part of
the Beredos. “Boss” in America is a slang term fora
master or superior.
The Shame of Stroud. —The Conservatives had gained
a seat at Stroud, a borough which was formerly represented
by the great Whig statesman, Lord John (now Earl)
Bussell.
To Correspondents.—The new statue on the Holborn
Viaduct was an equestrian one in bronze of the late
Prince Consort, the gift of some anonymous donor to the
Corporation of London.
To Sensationalists.—JeanLuie, the pretended mate or
steward of the Osprey, a witness whose evidence in favour
of the “ Claimant,” in the notorious Tichborne Case, ap-
peared at one time so strong, was afterwards tried for
perjury and found guilty.
Not Quite in Time!—Henry Glassford Bell, the
accomplished Sheriff of Lanarkshire, died on the seventh of
this month (January). “ Sheriff Bell’s illness gave rise to
a disagreeable controversy regarding a somewhat brusque
request made to him by the Home Secretary (Mr. Lowe) to
resign, which was thought to have even damaged the closing
days of the Liberal Ministry.”—Irving’s Annals.
The Latest in “Russia Bonds” {Cartoon). — See
“ Introduction.”
Question for Goody Templars.—The “ Good Temp-
lars ” are an association of total abstainers.
Bismarck and his Backer ! (Cartoon).—Owing to a bad
cold, Earl Bussell was unable to preside at a great
meeting held this month (January) to express sympathy
with Germany in its struggle against Ultramontane policy.
In a letter Lord Bussell wrote before the meeting, he pro-
tested against “ a conspiracy which aims at confining the
German Empire in chains, never, it is hoped, to be shaken
off; ” and proclaimed his “ sympathy with the Emperor of
Germany in the noble struggle in which he is engaged.”
Mr. Gladstone's Dissolution Address.—See “ Intro-
duction.”
A Dean's Doings.—The Dean of Westminster (Stan-
ley) went to St. Petersburg to perform the English cere-
mony at the marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh.
The “Realms of Gloom” {Cartoon).—Before the
General Election much uncertainty prevailed as to the
influence the Ballot (then for the first time brought into
operation all over the country) would exercise upon the
returns.
Election Epigrams.—The Premier (Mr. Gladstone)
was returned for Greenwich, but not at the head of the poll,
Mr. Boord, the Tory candidate, displacing him from that
position. Mr. Eorster was opposed by the Nonconformists
at Bradford on account of their dissatisfaction with his
management of the Education Question. Mr. Forsyth
was elected for Marylebone, Mr. D. Grant rejected; Mr. T.
PACK
Hughes (Author of TomBroivn’s School-days) was at one time
also a candidate for this Borough. Mr. Guildford Onslow
was a staunch supporter of the “ Claimant: ” the “ Grot ”
is an allusion to an incident in the Tichborne Trial. Mr.
Ayrton lost his seat in the Tower Hamlets : he held office in
India before he entered public life at home. Mr. Whalley
was returned again for Peterborough : the reference to
Earlswood is not complimentary to his constituents. Mr.
Jacob Bright lost his seat at Manchester; and Sir John
Pakington (formerly First Lord of the Admiralty) at
Droitwich. Messrs. Lucraft, Potter, and Odger, all
working men’s candidates, were none of them elected. The
second line in the epigram on Mr. Drax refers to former
incidents in his career. Mr. Fawcett is blind. Sir John
Karslake was at this time Her Majesty’s Attorney-
General. Mr. Jenkins is the well-known Author of
Ginx's Baby. Hertford House is Sir Bichard Wallace’s
magnificent Town mansion.

had succeeded Mr. Gladstone as Prime Minister, is seated
in the Chariot. The more prominent members of his
Cabinet accompany him in his triumph. They are the
Lord Chancellor Cairns, Marquis of Salisbury, Earl
of Derby, Mr. Gathorne Hardy, Sir Stafford North-
