Wr will ask you, reader, this week, to compel your fancy to take a further flight, and kindly imagine yourself a worthy merchant, who has fa the turmoil of City-life for the elegant leisure of a suburban villa—let us say at Norwood. You ure in your dining-room, examining the sky, and thinking that, if the weather holds up, you will take your big dog out presently for a run before lunch, when you are told that a gen is in the study who wishes to see you “‘on i busi- ness.” The very word excites you, not unp) y, nor do you care whether it is Church- bare nee oe or the istrict Board, or the County Council—it is enough that a experience and prac- hel wondering at the absurd vanity of the man—a mere ’ y, away from the City!) “* Between ourselves,” says your interviewer, y, having bl **T am by no means sure that Alderman Mrycrve as much space as I fear he will consider hi entitled to.

Well, Mr. Marx Lawez, I consider myself extremely fortunate in finding you at home, I assure you, and a very charming place you have here—abundant evidence of a refined and cultivated mind, excellent selection of our best-known writers, everything, if I may say so, elegant in the extreme—as was to be expected! Even from the cu glimpse I have had, I can see that your interior would lend itself admirably to picturesque des- cription—which brings me to the object of my visit. I have called upon you, Mr. Laws, in the hope of eliciting your sympathy and patronage for a work I am now compiling—a work which will, I am confident, commend itself to a my of your wide culture and interest in literary matters.” (Here you will look as judicial as you can, and harden your heart in advance against a new Ency- clopedia, or an illustrated edition of SuHaxsPEaRe’s works.) ‘* The work I allude to, Mr. Laws, is entitled, Notable Nonentities of Norwood and its Neighbourhood.” (Here you will nod gravely, rather taken by the title.) ‘‘1t will be published very shortly, by subscription, Mr, Laws, in two handsome quarto volumes, got up in the most sumptuous style.

OUR BOOKING-OFFICE. Sire Epwiow Agwotp’s paper on J in Scribner, for March, is in — y+ - ~ RT, gy = ing : apanese women as wives; but Gey on oceans 1 ee. — - 4 propos apan, to judge from one of our Lrxa Joro’s capi illustrations of Hospital Nursing in The English Illustrated Magazine, the Matron’s room must be “‘an illigant place, intoirely” ; while as for amusement, if the picture of a nurse giving a patient a cup of ink by mistake for liquorice-water isn’t a real practical side- splitter, the Baron would like to be informed what is? Then we come upon a delightful little picture of *‘ The Pet of the Hospital” ; and so she ought to be, for a gesting pet than this nursing Sister it would be difficult to find. hat becomes of her? Does she marry a ** Sawbones,” or run off with a patient? Anyhow, she must be a ** great attraction,” and if anything were to happen to the Baron, and he couldn’t be removed to his own palatial residence, he would say, * Pat me in a cab, drive me to the Furniss Hospital, and let me be in Pretty Pet's Ward.” The Baron has just been dipping into Mr. Justmy Howtty M'Cartay’s “ Pages on Plays” in The Gentleman's Magazine. Josrin Montty expresses his oy that ** The Dancing Giri will almost certainly be the play of the season ; it will probably be the principal play of the year.”” ‘‘ Almost certainly” and “‘ probably ”’ save the situation. The Baron backs The Idler against Dancing Girl for a run. In the same Magazine Mr. Atuert Fiemine has condensed into a short ; called Saily, material that would have served some authors for a t volume novel. It is a pleasure for the Baron to be in perfect accord on any one point with the Author of Essays in Little, and in proportion to the number of the points so is the *s pleasure intensified. Most in- tending readers of these Essays, on taking up the book, would be less curious to ascertain what Axprew Lane to say about Homer and the study of Greek, about Tufopore pz Banvittz, Toomas Haynes Barer, the and even about Kester, than to read his opinions on Dickzns TuackERaY, ogee eee first as being the more . The Baron recommends his friends, then, to read these ysof AnprEw’s, beginuing with Taackerar, then Dickens; do not, on any account, omit the delightfully written and truly ciative article on Cartes Leven; after which, go as you » but finish with *‘ the last fashionable novel,” wherein our M.A., in his Merriest-Andrewest mood, treats us to an excellent parody. The Baron has ited an extra Reader, and this Extra- 7 Reader to the Baron has just entered the dise of bis duties by reading Monte Carlo, and How to Do It, by

W. F. Gorppere, and G. Cuaron Presse (J. W. Annowsuirn). He reports in the following terms to his loved Chief :—This book achieves the task of combining extraordinary vulgarity with the flattest and most insipid dulness—not a common daulness, but Pp’ a dulness redolent of low slang and dirty tap-rooms. The authors —_ to a | ms marvellous ge reaching onte , Ww wi eir usual sprightly ey they call ‘Charley's Mount.” They are good enough to such of the travelling public as may want to get there, that the train leaving Victoria at 840 a.m. reaches Dover at 10°35. Stu- pendous! These two greenhorns took their snack on board the steamer (Ugh !), instead of waiting until they reached Calais, where there is the best restaurant on any known line. Instead of going by the Ceinture, they drove across Paris. The greenhorns arrive at Monte Carlo, and then settle on their quarters. Anyone but an idiot would have settled all this, and much more, beforehand. One gentle- manly greenhorn, who wishes us to think that *‘s/ connast son Paris,” talks of “‘ suppers of Bignon’s” (which must be some entirely new dish), and informs us that, *‘ at the Hdtel de |’ Athenée, the staff esteem it rather a privilege, and a mark of their skill in to grin and snigger when sworn at in English.” Oh, sweet and swearing British greenhorn! now I know why the French so greatly love our countrymen. But why, oh why do you imagine that you have discovered Monte Carlo? For the details of the journey, and the instructions to future explorers, are set out with a painful minuteness which not even Stayier could rival. As for Monaco, dear, restfal, old-fashioned, picturesque Monaco, whither the Visitor climbs to escape from the glare and noise of Monte Carlo, the greenhorn dismisses it scornfully, as having ‘‘no inte- rest.” How much does this ten-per-center want? He “* waggles along t ine;” he mixes with many who are “ pebble- beached;” he speaks of his intimates as ‘‘ Pa,” ‘“‘The Coal- Shunter,” ** Ballyhooly,” &c., and declares of the French soldier that “‘the short service Sorg clet- oo men don’t have a unkyperdoodlum time of it.’’ ’s wit for you, there’s Then he becomes Jeromeky-jeromistically eloquent on the subject of oo Se in such lucid expressions as ‘* chin music,” ** gives him biff,” “ his graft is thusly,” and, al » proves himself -_ his fellow-explorer to be 1h I. ae ‘oolish greenhorns ever put pen to an paper.
