Hldlciilous iicoplo are writing to the papers

have protested befoie against this relaxation
ot good manners In the matter ot wearing
tailless co.xts in London , but 1 shudder to
think of what the park would look Ilko It the

The Whitehall Heviovv tints answers the
recent ciltkism made by Bouclcault on the
dramatic ciitic , who , after the first leproscn-
tatloii of n play , hurtles away to the olllco.
nnd waiting for dcai life and weary to death ,
ptoduees , not a valuable criticism , but a
probably unfair report of what he has seen.
The Whitehall Review thinks "weary to
denth" is noteompllmentarj to the uTamnt-
ists nnd adds : A proppi critic , well veised
ns he must needs be in the laws which regu-
lale dr.nuntlc cousti notion , sees nt once what
needs mending and what to be omitted. Ho
liuds no difficulty In at once tiaiismltttng
bis Impulsions to papci , nnd generally
vviites a iiio'e tieiichant and complete icv'lew
than tue critic who wants a week. The best
proof of this is tlio excellence otcillicibius
which nppenr in the dally papeis on the
morning aftci tao production ot a new piece.
Jt seldom happens that the play tuins ont n
success it the critics decl.iro it a failure. It
Is noiiunu dilli-iilt tor n pr.icticisod oiitlc to
sit down Immediately after the play and re
cord in a cap.iblo and just manner , bis 1m-
prosslon than it Is fora leader writer to pio-
duce aeiltlclsmon a debate in pailiamcnt ,
which l.s only concluded In the small hours
ot the niorn.lni . : . The public look lor both in
Ehe papers which come out In the morning
after thu events.
AMIUIICA AND ANAllCllIbTS.
The Whitehall Huvlow reverses Its field
glabs on the. United States when observing :
It Is not a little amusing to note the doublc-
fnced action indulged in by the American
pi ess over the question of nnaichy. So long
ns this is under tbo disguise of fcnlanlbin ,
socialism nnd dynamiting , conducted to thu
detriment ot Kngllsh lite and properly , tlio
Americans anil tholr pies have no sympathy
toxpieoss for these tioubles , but when tbo
sere foi m ot rebellion takes place In America
the liistlgatois nnd perpetrators of civil re
bellion aic hunted down , captured , tried and
condemned. But , then , what happens In
Chicago Is ono thing and what happens in
London Is another.

acquired from the famous Mi.s. Lilly , who
attended her majesty at the blub ot the nlno
royal children. This excellent poison was n
gteat favorite with the queen , who honored
her with her confidence upon the most deli

In her ninety-second year , her majesty
