German Cavalry in (and out of) Action.
"'Polybe,' writing in the Figaro, estimates the German losses at 20,000 horse de combat on the first day of the battle."—Local Paper.
"Following the Franco-German war an epidemic of smallpox raged throughout Europe, which was not checked until Jenner's famous vaccination discovery."—Liverpool Echo.
It is sad to think that JENNER's discovery, made in 1796, should have remained dormant till after 1870.
"Mr. Gerard's reminiscences have caused much perturbation in German Court circles."—Daily Paper.
Little scraps of paper,
Little drops of ink
Make the KAISER caper
And the Nations think.
"A money prize offered to boys at Barcombe, Suxxes, for killing cabbage butterflies resulted in over 4,000 insects being destroyed. The winner, Victor King, accounted for 1,395."—Liverpool Echo.
We congratulate him on his Suxxes.
"One new thing he [Mr. HENDERSON] disclosed was that in his pervious statement that carried the Conference to the Stockholm vote, &c."—Daily Mail.
As "pervious," according to WEBSTER, means "capable of being seen through," we think the printer is to be congratulated.
