last week's _Saturday Review_. As the counter-jumper politely says,
"What will be the next article?" We look forward with interest to
"Shooters' Swearings," "Anglers' Affirmations," "Coursers' Curses," and

ROYAL SOCIETY OF PAINTER-ETCHERS.--At the pleasant Gallery, 5A, Pall

No. III.--THE YOUNG M.P.

retailing the carcases of sheep and oxen, sits in the Town Council, and
presides over one of the local political associations, declared, as he
often has at other contests and of other candidates, that never, in the
course of his political career, had he listened to more mature wisdom,
