Why, I'm litterelly told as how there is now lots of Gents as was once Members of Parlement who aint now members for nothink! that it to say, not for nothink as is worth having. Why, I'm ewen told as the County Counsellers, as belongs to the Tems Conserwency, is now so ardly treated, that they werry offen carnt get enuff to do to keep their time well employed, or to get enuff monney to pay them their werry modderate wages; so eny boddy can werry easily emadgin what poor work it must now be for poor fellers as was once Members of Parlement, and now aint not members of not nothink!
Sum of the old members tells me as they doesnot despair ewen yet! for they are quite sure as how as numbers of the grand old Tories will stick to em as long as theres any left; but I thinks as I knows a trick worth too of that, and that is, to make the best of the things as is, and hope the best for all the changes as time and hoppertoonity will aford em of putting a few things together as their long xperience has tort em is easily turned to good account.

Entertainers Entertained.—The Daly Co., headed by Mr. Augustin Daly and Miss Ada Rehan, were lunch'd by the Lord Mayor, July 16, at the Munching House. Lord Mayor paid sincere tribute to the American Company, and Augustin Daly heartily thanked the City of London. The U.S. Minister found a Link between the two countries in the great Dramatic Light Shakspeare. "And so say all of U.S." Manager Daly forgot to mention, that, as he has to leave England in the autumn, he ought to change the termination of his name to suit the term of his stay here, and be "August-out Daly" instead of "August-in."
