Moreover, ihJ'L is nn "age cf progress, and everjlhini; musi
go fonraid a little, and it is monstrous ihM nothing new can
be produced when it mi^t be done with k> little trouble.
Orcourae it is not easy 10 describe a "Captain of Lords" in
two words joined by a conjuDclioo, but uill lomelhing better
m^ht be produced We comoiend 10 the attention of our
readers the following epithets, out of which one may be
found 10 suit ncm year's Captain. "Goitle but firni,"—"cold
and proud,"—" neat but not gaudy,"—" poor but honest,"^
"weak and vacillaling,"-—".surly laid disagreeable,"—-"use¬
less and ignoranl,"—"careful and jiainstaliing,"—"clever
and brilliam,"—"well'meBninghul hardly successful." Surely
out of all these—[there are many more to be had from Ihe
same shop; couniiy orders attended to with despatch]—
surely, we say, out of all these otie may be found which will
be more suitable on future occasons than our old friends.

To turn to other lubyects, we must gire our best wishes to

Tht Wiiukaltr Celltp Chnmiile, which, Uke ourselves, is a

ticn (and it is to be hoped courteous) paper.    We cannot

'   .'ever congmlulate them on the way in which their paper

-:nled i the mistakes arc numerous and absurd.    " Mon

1 Dieu mon cteur a In" is, we think, noticed in another

■riLii; "Rofl"" for " Raff" ii another, and "Mt. I. Canip-

1 ■ for " M' I. Campbell" is another.

Most of the material was written by "The Lost Chord," "The
Pelican," and "H.H.H." The Pentagram was an excellent way for
the three to try their literary wings. One might also speculate that
