A HOPEFUL CASE.
MORE MEN OVERBOARD!
It is Mr. Plimsoll, and not the Hon. Charles Vil-
lies s—Derby, and not Wolverh ampton—that will provid e
the life-buoy for our “ Man Overboard,” of last week,
the Right Hon. W. V. Harcouet. There is another
man overboard since then, Mr. M'Laren, the Lord
Advocate, flung over by the Wigtown Burghs.
If this goes on, the Government Ship will be getting
short-handed, or a system of seats that won’t sink will
have to be adopted, like that advocated for our ocean
and river steam-boats.
It is not every Minister cast adrift without a seat to
float him that can expect to find a Plimsoll ready to
surrender his seat to him, as a generous cast-array has
been known to surrender his spar to a messmate whose
life he thought more important than his own.
Mr. Plimsoll thinks the cause lie has at heart will
be better served by what Sir W. V. Harcourt can do
for it in the House than by any efforts of his own there.
So he hands over his seat to the Home Secretary
battling with the waves without a spar, and himself
goes down, without a sigh, to the depths of private life!
The act becomes Mr. Plimsoll. Impulsive he may
have been, but his impulses were always generous and
self-sacrificing. The ending of his parliamentary life
is consistent with its tenor; it shows more consideration
for his cause than for himself.
Gain and Less.
Should venerable Boodles disappear,
Now Boodlers must turn beggars and not choosers,
V/hate’er his seeming triumph, it is clear,
That Gainer will be heaviest of losers!
“poem, riflemen, poem.”
And very “ good form” it seems to have been, by the
official reports, at Brighton on Easter Monday.
Patient. “ Then, according to you, Doctor, in order to live at all, 1
MUST GIVE UP ALL THAT MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING?”
Doctor. “ I’m afraid so—at least for a few Years.”
Patient. “ Perhaps you’d recommend me to Marry ? ”
Doctor (a confirmed Bachelor'). “ Oh no ! Come, my dear Fellow, it’s not
quite so Bad as all that, you know ! ”
Addition to the Announcement of a Quakers’

A Seasonarle "Wish.—May Sir William Harcourt
win his Derby !
ROYAL ACADEMY GUIDE.
Third Visit.
[By “ Private View,” of the R. A. Volunteer Corps.)
A Hint from Your Own Private Guide.—The Academy is crowded.
Turn to the right on entering, and commence with Gallery No. X.
You will then start cool and comfortable; and, with an unruffled
temper, you will arrive at Gallery No. I. Let us begin with Gal-
lery X. to-day :—-
No. 1410. Mrs. J. Major. G. Pope. Having succeeded with.
Mrs. J. Major, the Artist may he induced, next year, to try Mrs.
1). Minor. If he has luck, it may be D “ on the line.”
No. 1413. Motes in the Sunbeam.. Alfred W. Hunt. Allow
me to suggest a companion picture, ” Castles in the air ; ” or the two
mixed together, as “A Castle in Ayr, surrounded by a moat on a
Sunbeam.” So mote it be.
No; 1414. Ophelia. Anna Lea Merritt. What’s in a name?
Merritt undoubtedly. The theatrical perruquier, from whom this
Ophelia hired her wig, ought to be ashamed ol himself. Fortunately
for him, his name is not in the Catalogue.
No. 1425. Wards in Chancery. John Morgan. Not quite
colour enough in this. picture. Does the Lord Chancellor wear a
scarlet robe when bearing two Wards argue their own cause in his
private-room ? Isn’t it rather a scene from some private theatricals,
nr after a bal masque ? Judging from appearances, the longer these
Wards are kept in Chancery, the better.
No. 1432. The Rev. Henry Parry Liddon, 1). J)., Canon of St.
Paul's. George Richmond, R.A. Profile only, showing one side
of the character. Observe the High-Church-light on his temple.
View of Richmond in the distance.
No. 1433. Deputation of Villagers Presenting a Wedding Gift.
James Hayllar. Model villagers. Six of them have saved up
their money and bought a silver cup. They are evidently very
peculiar people. Observe the satin smocks of the two oldest inhabi-
tants.
No. 1439. Early Morning: Venice. Cl ara Montalba. If Clara
goes on at this rate, it will be clara—clarior—clarissima !
No 1442. Mr. Worrall. Chas. Bragger. He may be a Bragger
after producing such a likeness!
No. 1456. For Ever! Herbert Schmaltz. ” Don’t you feel well ?”
said the Lady in the yellow dress to the musician. Let me see if
there is any green in your eye.” She examined it closely, and then
observed, ‘‘ Perhaps my dress has made you feel a little bilious. It
can’t be helped; it’s the only one 1 ’ve got, and I’m going to wear it
for ever ! ”
No. 1481. A Difficult Passage. Carl SonLOESSER. No. 1482. Mrs.
George Lewis. Rudolph Lehmann. The position of these. two
pictures do credit to the dramatic instinct of the Hanging Committee.
The old Gentleman living at No. 1481 is playing a difficult passage
on the piano, and the Lady residing next door,. No. 1482, is listening
with evident pleasure to the performance which she can distinctly
hear through the wall. Both Artists are to he congratulated.
No. 1505. A Summer Flood: North Wales. B. VV. Leader. This
will be a great favourite with children who will call it “a sweet
picture,” reminding them forcibly of lemon cream and rock.
No. 115. Pace to Market. Tahiti, Society Islands. N. Chevalier.
Queer sort of Society on these Islands. They really want a “ dress-
ing” from a Society Journal.
No. 139. Evangeline. G. H. Boughton, A. ” Charming single
figure,” as Mr. Blackburn justly observes in his capital illustrated
Guide. She oughtn’t to be single ; but, of course, Evangeline is
wedded to a Six-foot Hexameter. “ I didn’t know Evangeline was
so tall,” said a young Lady. “Nor so green either,” said Private
View, quoting the mot about Canning’s statue.
No. 142. Sister's Kiss. Sir F. Leighton, P.R. A. Second title,
“ Go it, my Tu-lips ! ” The President’s best this time.
No. 231. Multiplication. Kate Perugini. Arithmetical table-
turning. A spirited picture.
No. 304. One of the Family. F. G. Cotman. This represents,
hoss-tensibly, asking a horse in to dinner. The young woman in the
corner is teliing it the menu, so that the picture illustrates “The
Carte before the Horse.”
