The London Times is about to join the ranki of the penny newspapers. Apropos of the so-called national son" “ Hands all round” by Tennyson : the s< ncral opinion in England is that it is great rubbish, quite unworthy of the reputation of the poet laureate. It has been parodied ad nauseam and treated with great indignity. But in Victoria the song has been received with marked favor Mrs Langtry in her new public role, captivates and bewitches the men as much as ever. The last silliness of one of her captives, a young Viscount in the guards, is that he paid her £IOO apiece for the pair of blue silk stockincs she wears in the second act of “Ours;” the same to be worn throughout the run of the play and delivered to the purchaser when it is over.
