* * * * * TITLED MONTHS.--In the list given by the _Figaro_ of those present at Cardinal LAVIGERIE'S great anti-slavery function at Saint Sulpice was "_un ancien ministre plénipotentiare le Baron d'Avril._" What a set of new titles this suggests for any creation, of new Peers in England! Duke of DECEMBER! Earl of FEBRUARY! Of course, the nearest title to Baron D'AVRIL with us is the Earl of MARCH. The Marquis of MAY sounds nice; Lord AUGUST, Baron JULY; and, should a certain eminent ecclesiastical lawyer ever become a Law Lord, there will be yet another British cousin to Baron d'AVRIL and the Earl of MARCH in--Lord JEUNE. * * * * * NO MORE LAW OFFICERS!--"An Automatic Recorder on the Forth Bridge" was a heading to a paragraph in the _St. James's_ last Saturday. The announcement must have startled Sir THOMAS CHAMBERS, Q.C. Heavens! If there is one Automatic Recorder in the North, why not another in the South? Automatic Recorders would be followed by Automatic Common Serjeants, and--Isn't it too awful! * * * * * [Illustration: RATHER A LARGE ORDER. _The Herr Professor_.
