BORN AUG. 21, 1820.
DIED DEC. 4, 1893.
HONEST JOHN TYNDALL, then, has played his part!
Scientist brain, and patriotic heart
Both still in the last sleep, that sadly came,
Without reproach to love, or loss to fame.
Rest, Son of Science, certain of your meed!
Of bitter moan for you there is small need;
But England bows in silent sympathy
With her whose love, chance-wounded, all may see
Steadfast in suffering undeserved as sore.
_Punch_ speaks for all true hearts the kingdom o'er
When mingling tribute to JOHN TYNDALL'S life
With hushed compassion for his bowed but blameless wife

A FEMININE TRIUMPH.--SHEE, Q.C., appointed Judge of the Court of
Record at Salford. Naturally SHEE likes being courted. Pity it wasn't
in Wales, as then they would Welshly-and-grammatically speak of
"appearing before SHEE" as "appearing before _Her_." This is clearly
an example of the "_SHEE who must be obeyed_."

Murch Praised!
["Mr. JEROME MURCH, seven times Mayor of Bath, &c., and for
thirty years chairman of, &c., has just published a volume,
entitled _Bath Celebrities_."]
_Go to Bath, viâ_ book upon lap;--
No Bath bungler is here, but a rare man.
You are certain to like this Bath chap;
And there never was such a Bath chairman.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.--The Oxford undergraduate who was caught
red-(paint)-handed, and sent down for a year, forgot, no doubt, that
_he_ had to be well read, not the town; but a year in the country will
no doubt make him as fresh as the paint itself. Curiously enough, very
popular still in his College, which shows no inclination to cut the
painter!

"SOMETHING LIKE A HUNTING RUN."--In the _Pall Mall_ last Thursday
was the account of a grand run with "the Barlow Hounds." Of course
_Sandford_ and _Merton_ were on ponies, and out with "their
beloved tutor's" pack. Mr. BARLOW, of course, is both "Master" and
"Whipper-in."
