* * * * * EDITORIAL CANDOUR. Notice in _Nash's Magazine_ at the beginning of a new serial:-- "The theme of this story is a strange one handled with the consummate skill one expects from so clever a writer as Gouverneur Morris.... This story will stimulate your interest. It is quite different from anything Mr. Morris has previously written." * * * * * "Cambridge. The appointment of Mr. W. W. Buckland, of Caius, to be Regius Professor of Civil War is in accordance with general expectation, though there were those who thought that the Government might go outside the circle of University teachers."--_The Record._ Mr. DEVLIN was surely indicated. * * * * * "CANARY WANTED.--Young, intelligent bird wanted for training. For right bird, right price paid. Apply, with bird, Tuesday morning next, at 11 o'clock. M. D., Stage Door, Palladium, London, W.C." _The Referee._ Dangerous, asking for the bird like that. * * * * *
