Journalistic reconstructions and amalgamations have been proceeding so rapidly and extensively of late that there seems no end to the kaleidoscopic possibilities of the future. Up to the present, however, no confirmation can be obtained of the startling rumor that _The Spectator_ has been purchased by the proprietors of _The Kennel Gazette_, and will henceforth be devoted to the interests of our four-footed friends, the supplements being restricted to purely feline amenities. Another persistent rumour, which hitherto lacks the seal of official corroboration, is to the effect that _The Guardian_ is to be given a new range of activity as the organ of scientific spiritualism, under the title of _The Guardian Angel_ and the joint editorship of Sir Oliver Doyle and Sir Conan Lodge. The investigations into multiple consciousness conducted by these two eminent _savants_ have proved their mutual convertibility to such an extent that they have decided upon this rearrangement of their names. If the scheme materialises the stimulating collaboration of Mr. HAROLD BEGBIE is a foregone conclusion, and there is even a possibility of contributions from an August Exile somewhere in Holland. A third report maintains with minute circumstantiality that the proprietors of _The Economist_, having come to the conclusion that this journal needs brightening, have decided to entrust the post of principal leader-writer to "CALLISTHENES," and retain the services of the authoress of _The Tunnel_ as financial _feuilleton_ writer. But on enquiry at the London School of Economics we could not obtain any definite information. The rumours that _The Morning Post_ is about to be merged in _The Winning Post_, and that Mr. MAXSE is starting an evening paper, to be called _The Job and Caviller_, are extremely interesting, but need to be received with a certain amount of caution. * * * * * "Two-seater Motor-car. 7-9 h.p., in perfect running order, Bosch magneto, Michelin tyres, spare wheel and accessories, Axminster and Brussels carpets, stair carpeting, lino., kitchen utensils, dinner service, copper chafing dish, pots, pans, lawn mower, deck chairs, &c., nearly new mangle, and numerous other effects."--_Local Paper_.
