lodramatic Satellite. Poor Jupiter must be uncommonly tired of his old Satellites by this time! How pleased, how delighted, he must be to welcome a new one! * * * * * [Illustration: VIEW OF "MARS" AS SEEN THROUGH MR. PUNCH'S TELESCOPE.] * * * * * MORE LIGHTS! [Illustration: A Straight Tip and a New Sensation.] When anyone now in town requires a change from the _De_-lights of Home, let him go to _See Lights of Home_ at the Adelphi. Great scene of the Wreck not so great perhaps as some previous sensational Adelphi effects. In such a piece as "the Lights," it is scarcely fair that "the Heavies" should have it nearly all to themselves, but so it is, and the two Light Comedy parts capitally played by Miss JECKS and Mr. LIONEL RIGNOLD, do not get much of a chance against the heartrending sorrows of Miss EVELYN MILLARD, and of Mrs. PATRICK CAMPBELL, the slighted, or sea-lighted heroine, known as "Dave's Daughter" (oh, how fond Mr. W.A.

She wasn't a man, and so the two brutes escaped. But what another "_Boom! te-ray,--Ta, ra, ra_," &c., &c., this would have been for LA COLLINS! * * * * * NOT IMPROBABLE.--Lord ROSEBERY might have ended his diplomatic r
