The Lampoon.

A good take-off on the Advocate and a few clever jokes and poems make the current number of the Lampoon fairly readable. Of the illustrations the Chart for Navigating the Yard in wet weather is one of the cleverest drawings that has appeared in the paper this year. The ideas of some of the other illustrations are also clever, but in most cases the execution is very rough and unfinished. A well-executed and artistic drawing has not appeared in the last few numbers of the Lampoon.
