and Irish Members crowd round him as he sits bjlow Gallery waiting

"Then Duncan is not in his grave?" Eaid, Macbeth—I mean
Maclu.be.

Evidently not. Here in the flesh and high spirits.1' Everybody
dropping into poetry all round.
Wabdt, who was down at Bar-
row, gives lengthy account of the
contest, "And," he says—

" to conclude,
The victory fell on us."

Duncan. " Great happiness!

No more the Caixe of Cawdor shall
deceive

Our bosom interest. Go, pronounce

his present death."
{Turning to Puleston, who always

cotncs to shake hands with Nao

Membtr.)

" Dismayed not this
Your Captains, HacSmith and Bal-
fouk ?"

Puleston admitted that they
were a little hipped; rather
thought "that moBt disloyal
traitor, the Caine of Cawdor,"
having "began the dismal con-
flict," would get the worst of it;
but didn't expect that Liberal
would be returned. "But it's
of no consequence," added Sir
Toots; "you must come and
dine with me."

Duncan rather broke down as
he advanced to table amid thun- The CaiDe of Cawdor,

derous cheers from Disposition. Privately explained matter to
Speaxeb when he shook hands with him.

Duncan. " My plenteous joys,

"Wanton in fulness, seek to hide themselves

In drops of sorrow."

"Oh, you must cheer up," said the Speakeb, who always has a
pleasant word for everybody; " perhaps you won't get in again."

Business done.—Irish Constabulary Vote in Committee of Supply;
opening of cheerful week for Prince Aethub.

"COMING IN THEIR THOUSANDS."

The announcement that a Thousand Nurses would be received at
Marlborough House last Saturday, naturally attracted a large
number of the Guards and Household troops, who were off duty, to
the vicinity of St. James's Park and Pall Mall. The excitement
among the military somewhat abated when it was ascertained that
the Prince and Princess were receiving the "first working sub-
scribers" to the National Pension Fund for Nurses. The Prince
made one of his best speeches, and the Princess smiled her best
smiles. The Comptroller of the "Weather
for the Royal Household had given
special orders for Bunshine, or a good
imitation of it from one till three, so
umbrellas were not needed; thus sym-
bolically showing that the day of
"Gamps" was over, and that a new
era of superior nursing was now an
iW'f'i'- Si if \% 1 iliSlw established faot. If such a state of
fiS^r^C/^^-SSuBsP affairs had continued as was portrayed
in Martin Chuzzleioit, their Royal High-
nesses might have been receiving the
last thousand Sarah Gamps and Betsy Prigs, and addressing them
in a very different strain._

Dramatic Notes.—Alexander the Grateful, in returning thanks
for the toast of " the Avenue Piece," observed that "he objected to
this phrase, as he did not mean to 'av a new piece for a long time,
the present Bill being good enough." This cast a gloom over the
assembly, which then quietly dispersed.

Mr. Ieving, disguised as Louis the Eleventh (the last of the great
French cricketers), is at the Grand, in celestial Islington, where the
Angel is. These angelic visits are few and far between.

We (who's "we"?) hear a favourable report of Sowing and
Reaping at the Criterion,—a play that might have been only " sow
sow," if it had not been for the reaping good, performance of Chaeles
the Reaper.

OUR ADVERTISERS—THEIR LATEST BOON.

QELL UNIVERSALIS is a startling, electrifying, flesh-forming,
KJ paralysing, stupifying, and sparkling Intoxicant.

SELL UNIVERSALIS may be taken freely in tons with perfect
impunity alike bythe Elephant and the Infant.

SELL UNIVERSALIS, administered instantly in a teaspoon, will
sober a drunken Crocodile or steady a tottering Policeman.

SELL UNIVERSALIS is a wonderful food-supplier, one dose
containing the active principle of a ten-and-sixpenny Criterion

Dinner.

SELL UNIVERSALIS.—Professor Sloppee, B..T.W.K.R.S., &c,
Public Analyst to the Midland Patents Puffing Association,
writes:—" I have made a careful analysis of several sealed bottles of
this unique preparation, and, as far as I can make out, I have no
hesitation in saying that its claim to contain in every single tea-
spoonful ' all the active principle of two bottles of " '36 " champagne,
five pounds of pork chops, a pint of train oil, a tinned lobster, a pot
of bears' grease, and 73 per cent, of the best boot-blacking and dog-
biscuit,' is substantially correct. I have not as yet prescribed it for
any of my own patients, but, if I find my practice inconveniently
extended, I shall probably do so."_

QELL UNIVERSALIS instantly cures lumbago, toothache, hay-
O fever, nettlerash, staggers, elephantiasis, and many other
ordinary nursery disorders. _

SELL UNIVERSALIS—"A Tbustful Country Clergyman"
writes :—',* I have often had one leg in the grave, on the occa-
sions on which I have been subject to successive attacks of lumbago,
toothache, hay-fever, nettlerash, staggers, elephantiasis, and many
other ordinary nursery disorders, but I have always found that, by
having recourse to a bottle of _ Sell Universalis, 1 have been
enabled slowly to draw it out again ; at least, I fancy so."

SELL UNIVERSALIS, if taken "injudiciously," and adminis-
tered with judgment, will kill the aged, and remove the
youthful.

SELL UNIVERSALIS.—"A Ciecumspect Solicitoe with ax
Eye to the Main Chance," writes:—"Having had seven
aged uncles and an infant nephew who stood between me and the
enjoyment of a trifling annuity, I presented them all last, Christmas
with a bottle of the ' Sell,' coupling the gift with the playful
injunction that ' the faster they got through it the longer they would
live.' By the 10th of January I had buried the whole eight of them.
You are quite welcome to make what use you can of this; but, for
obvious reasons, I suppress my name and address."

SELL UNIVERSALIS is a wonderful Brain and Nerve Tonic,
entirely revivifying the shattered powers of the disheartened
and over-taxed literary man.

SELL UNIVERSALIS.—"A Coming Shakspeale" writes:—
"For years I have been writing Christmas Pantomimes, till,
never meeting with any Management willing to produce them, I found
at length I had seven-and-thirty by me waiting production. I then
took several bottles of your Sell Universalis, which must have
cleared my head, for I wrote a comic Interlude for the Clown and
Ringmaster of a Provincial Circus that was immediately accepted;
and though I have not yet been paid for it, and, owing to the fact
that the travelling company, being always on the move, is continually
changing its address, very probably never shall be, still, as I am told.
' it goes with a roar' every night, I cannot but conclude that the
Sell Univeesalis has restored in a marked degree- my shattered
mental powers."

SELL UNIVERSALIS, if rubbed into the head will, in twenty-
four hours, entirely remove every vestige of the most luxuriant
crop of hair.

SELL UNIVERSALIS, swallowed for another twenty-four hours,
_will bring nearly all of it on again.________

gELL UNIVERSALIS may be tried on the invalid~Canary7~~

gELL UNIVERSALIS may be relied on as a thoroughly effective

Furniture Revivifier.

gELL UNIVERSALIS affords a refreshing beverage in the last
