What a chance here lost
for a situation of the Goat behind curtains butting _Claude Frollo_!
However, it was all "purtendin'," and JEAN DE RESZKE as _Phoebus_
didn't see what he would most certainly have noticed immediately had
he been himself. Magnificently got up; _mise-en-scene_ excellent; band
and chorus all that could be wished.

BULLY FOR THE COLONEL!
"The Hon. Member had availed himself of the privilege accorded
to Members of Parliament in debate to fire a shameful barbed
arrow at Colonel CADDELL, in order that some of the mud might
stick."--_Colonel Saunderson in the House of Commons_.
Come, listen to my story: it's a sort of shilling-shock tale,
With no end of fire and fury, and a modicum of blood,
And a Colonel who mixed metaphors as Yankees mix a cocktail,
And a quiverful of arrows, shameful arrows, barbed with mud.
It was DILLON who had used them, and he spoke of Tipperary,
Tipperary new and rentless, where the tenants have combined.
And the Parnellites were gathered like the chicks of Mother CAREY,
When they feel the tempest rising, and give warning of the wind.
And the pale and angry Tories sat impatient of the battle.
