Kudos for Kennington.

Me. Punch hears that Mr. O’Connor Power has been invited to
stand as Liberal Candidate for the Kennington Division of Lambeth,
and has agreed to do so. The return of such an Irishman, at once
patriotic and loyal, able and earnest, eloquent and temperate, for an
English seat, would be a satisfaction to Ireland’s well-wishers, a
credit to the Constituency electing him, and a precedent full of
happy augury and soarcely measurable promise. Mr. Punch wishes
more Power to Kennington’s—political—elbow!

Song of the Czar.

[The Pally News Correspondent at Baku, on the Caspian, says it is rumoured
that the Czar intends to assume the title of “ Emperor of Central Asia.”]

Pen a line, pen a line, Baku man!

Make me an Emperor fast as you oan.

I ’ll drive all the Englishmen into the sea,

For there’s not room in Asia for them and for me !
