      ANIMAL SPIRITS.

      No. IX.—Awkward position of Hippoliceman among the wild Bulls and Bears in Throgmorton Street.

      (Vide Papers, March 22.)

      AN ELECTION ADDRESS.

      [Mr. Rider Haggard has become the accepted Conservative candidate for a Norfolk constituency. The following is understood to be an advance copy of his Address.]

      Intelligent electors, may I venture to present

      Myself as an aspirant for a seat in Parliament?

      The views of those opponents who despise a novelist,

      Are but the foggy arguments of People of the Mist!

      No writer, I assure you, can produce a better claim,

      A greater versatility, a more substantial fame;

      My candidature, though opposed by all the yellow gang,

      Has won the hearty sympathy of Mr. Andrew Lang.

      And if what my opinions are you'd really like to know,

      They're issued at a modest price by Longmans, Green, & Co.;

      The Eight Hours Bill, for instance, I'm prepared to speak upon

      From a practical acquaintance with the Mines of Solomon.

      Whatever my intentions as to Woman's Rights may be,

      I yield to none in honouring the great immortal She;

      While, as to foreign policy, though Blue Books make you yawn,

      You'll find the subject treated most attractively in Dawn.

      When I am placed in Parliament, I'll speak with fluent skill,

      And show (like Mr. Meeson) I've a most effective will;

      And if there is a special point for which I mean to fight,

      It is for legislation to protect my copyright.

      If chance debate to matters in South Africa should tend,

      My anecdotes will cause the Speaker's wig to stand on end;

      And if an opportunity occurs, I'll rouse the lot

      By perorating finely in impassioned Hottentot!

      So, Gentlemen, I beg you, let my arguments prevail,

      Shame would it be if such a cause through apathy should fail,

      Shame on the false elector who his honest duty shirks!

      Believe me, Yours.

      The Author of She, Dawn, and other works.

      WHEN ARTHUR FIRST AT COURT.

      Last week the Court Theatre was advertised as a Company, Limited. The cast in the bill was given as Chairman, Arthur W. Pinero; First Director, Sir Arthur Sullivan (with a song?); Second Director, Herbert Bennett (Director also of Harrod's Stores, Limited, the success of which establishment has been so great as to now out-Harrod Harrod); and then Arthur Chudleigh (who was jointly lessee at one time with Mrs. John Wood), as Director and Acting Manager. The Solicitor is down as Arthur B. Chubb (little fish are sweet), and the Secretary is Mr. A. (presumably Arthur?) S. Dunn. Most appropriate this name to finish
