_Khe._ It's most civil of you to say so. Then I will have fur. _British Rep._ And now, if your Highness no longer requires my presence----. _Khe._ (_interrupting_). But I do. As I have already said, I've a lot of things to ask you. Now, I want to know whether it would be to the benefit of the fellaheen if I visited the theatre more frequently? _British Rep._ Your Highness will use your own discretion. I think I may say, without further reference to Downing Street, that Her Majesty's Government will have not the slightest objection to your Highness indulging in any innocent recreation. _Khe._ Come--that's very good of them. But don't go. Look here. There will be no great harm if I wear brown leather boots? _British Rep._ I think not, if your Highness, by the exhibition of such a preference, does not wound the susceptibilities of other Powers. And now, your Highness, with your permission, I think I must withdraw. _Khe._ Very well. If you won't stay any longer I suppose you won't. If I want any more advice I will send over to you. _British Rep._ I am extremely obliged to your Highness. [_Bows, and exit._ _Khe._ Glad he's gone! And now that I have consulted him about everything, I think I will have a little recreation on my own account. What shall I do? Oh, I know, I will dismiss the entire Ministry! [_Does so._ (_Curtain._) * * * * * "GOING STRONG."--At the Court Theatre the _Pantomime Rehearsal_ in which Messrs. BROOKFIELD and WEEDON have a capital duet, is just as fresh as ever. Quite a new piece with all the old fun in it. "Equestrian Scenes in the Circle," might now be added, as they've got a performing PALFREY who does a very pretty _scherzo_ or skirt-show dance. "Good entertainment for"--everybody. * * * * * VICE VERSA ON THE STAGE.--Re-appearance of Mr. and Mrs. BANCROFT at HARE'S Theatre. When Mr. HARE made his first appearance in London it was at Mr. and Mrs. BANCROFT'S Theatre. And _Diplomacy_ is to be revived. This move is most diplomatic. * * * * * "HAPPINESS IN ----."--Professor ST. GEORGE MIVART will be glad to learn that a telegram from New York, dated the 19th instant, contained the following interesting item of intelligence.--"A vast quantity of ice is now at Hell Gate." * * * * * DEPRECIATION OF GOLD!--"Guinea Fowls" were sold in the Market last week at from 2_s._ 5_d._ to 3_s._ 6_d._! and a Plover Golden, was to be had for ninepence!! * * * * * What with _The Daily Bourse_ and dustmen who refuse to remove the Drury-Lane refuse, our Sir AUGUSTUS DURIOLANUS has been, of late, considerably Harris'd. * * * * * MOTTO FOR THE LADIES WHO BECOME MEMBERS OF MRS. STANNARD'S "ANTI-CRINOLINE LEAGUE."--"All hoops abandon ye who enter here." * * * * *
