The Art Kaleidoscope may undoubtedly be found at 160, New Bond Street, where the Messrs. DOWDESWELLS are everlastingly giving it a turn. Before you have time to get tired of one show, the turn is made, and another reigns in its place. Yesterday it was Royal Berkshire, to-day it is pictures principally of the French School. There are some fine works by COROT, which, however, did not justify a weak-minded critic in calling the show "the Corotid Art-ery." Also examples of MONTICELLI, SEGANTINI the Italian, DAUBIGNY, TROYON, MUHRMAN, and other notable painters. * * * * * [Illustration: THE ONLY REMEDY. _Home Sec._ "OH, DEAR! OH, DEAR! WHY LEAVE IT TO ME!" _Mr. P. (sympathetically)._ "WHY, INDEED? BUT I DON'T SEE ANY HELP FOR IT TILL WE GET A COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL."] * * * * * THE ONLY REMEDY. Pity a poor Home Secretary! Verily His days are hard, his nights can scarce wag merrily; But of all burdens on his mind distracted, Greatest must be that dread responsibility Where sense of justice wars with sensibility. _Punch_ hardly thinks the two have interacted This time with quite ideal force and fitness, And that the Public doubts, let the Press witness! A loathsome story, sordid, brutal, sickening! Dull callousness to smug contrition quickening Under the spur of an ignoble terror, A hope scarce less ignoble--in expression, At least. Yes, calm judicial self-possession Is difficult, most easy trimming error; But compromise with claims conflicting _here_, Is scarce the course of equity one must fear. The logic of it does not stand forth clearly; The public conscience fidgets, and feels queerly. Yes, to be arbiter, by law's compulsion, In such a case, with issues so immense, _Is_ hard, no doubt; the public common sense Against the arrangement turns with strong revulsion; And the right remedy, as all must feel, Is in a Court of Criminal Appeal! * * * * * [Illustration: EXTREMES MEET! _Hearty Luncher._ "THIS FASTING IS ALL BOSH!

(_A Delightful "All-the-Year-Round" Resort for the Fashionable Composer._) EXAMPLE III.--CONCERNING THE LOVER'S OBJECTION TO BEING HARD ON A PERSON. I love you so! I love you so! It's funny, but I do-- In spite of what my parents know, And what they say, of you! No honest folks will near you go-- But wherefore should _I_ shrink? I only know I love you so, Whatever _they_ may think! I love you so! I love you so! As I have sung before-- Although the heart you have to show Is rotten to the core! They say you oft to prison go; But wherefore _my_ dismay? I only know I love you so! I don't care what _they_ say!
