Lettering
A triumph at the wrong end. Music is a safe adjunct to anything. We have known a bad meeting pass off quite lively with the aid of a good band; and many a dreary evening party has been indebted to Jullien and his music for drawing to close. ... ...Let us hope the threatened crusade of bloodshed is now over in Ireland, never to be renewed.
