I cannot but think it is very hard lines on poor Zazel that a person recently committed for trial on a charge of felony should be heralded inthe morning papers as the brother of the renowned gymnast. * The• • * \fierce light which beats about a throne’ seems to be very little more trying than that which beats about an acrobat. The youthful Zazel has herself figured in the police-courts, upon a small charge of misdemeanour it is true; but surely this cannot be a sufficient reason for advertising thei # • ' • •lady as the sister of an embryo burglar, with whom she probably has noconnection beyond the accidental bonds of consanguinity. This is one1 ' • lt;' ^ •of the prices I suppose one pays for fame ; but, unless the young man who figured last week before a magistrate on the charge referred to, actually gave his occupation as ‘ brother to Zazel,’ it seems to me that Zazel herself has a legal grievance against the reporters for defamation of character—by reflection.
