"THROUGH DARKEST LAMBETH."
POLITICS.
{By a Confused Citizen.)
What a state we '11 soon be in!
Such a clamour, such a din,
Raised from Kew to Dalston,
Cork to Cromer, Wight to Wick!
Seeking votes through thin and thick,
Gladsbury and Salstone !
Talk and chatter, speech and cry !
Some assert, then some deny
In a near or far shire ;
Call each other names and laugh,
Jeer and chuckle, joke and chaff—
Devoncourt and Harshire !
Still they come and still they go ;
Up and down, and high and low,
' Many more than those four.
Speak in Council, speak in House,'
Think not yet of golf or grouse,
Balbery and Rosefour
Rush and canvass up and down,
Village, hamlet, city, town,
Stately street or poor lane ;
Start committees, advertise,
Think of rousing party cries,
Chamberley and Morlain !
Such a fidget, such a fuss!
There is no escape for us ;
We shall have it shortly.
How I wish that both would go
Off to Bath or Jericho,
Salfourlaln, Gladcourtley !
"Cave Kanem ! "—" If» Dr. Kane is
reported to have said at the Ulster Appeal
Meeting in St. James's Hall ,last Wednes-
day, "If they (the Ulster Irishmen) had to
choose between arbitrary oppression and an
appeal for justice to the God of battles, he
(Dr. Kane) had no more doubt than he had
about his existence, that that appeal would
be made, and that God would defend the
right." With the saving clause adroitly
introduced into the last sentence, every-
one, except an Atheist, will agree; and,
but for this, this speech reads as an incen-
tive to Civil War, intended to stir up brother
against brother to fight to the death.
Such sentiments may, in the future, be
remembered as marked with " the brand of
Kane." _
A Difficulty.—3fr. Dick was unable to
keep "King Charles the First's head" out
of his literary work. So Oar Oscar, it is
said, has been unable to keep the head of
St. John the Baptist out of his play, Salome,
accepted by Sarah. Hence difficulty with
licenser. The real truth, we believe, is
A New Songstress.—Mr. Cusins, on
Wednesday last, accompanying Schumann,
Rubinstein, & Co., may fairly be described
as"CusiNS German." A very successful Con-
cert, musically notable, among many notable
things, for the debut of Miss Gwladys Wood,
who, being vociferously encored, gave a
Tyrolean Volkslied, or "Vokes' Family "
dance and song, playing the accompaniment
herself. "She ought to do well."—I quote
Shakespeare, William Shakespeare, the
Musician, who sang a duo with Mme. Valda.
The Concert commenced with a " Septette
