OLD PUNCHKIEL’S PREDICTIONS FOR THE YEAR 1890. Ir is with no light heart that Old Puncuxre. enters upon his solemn duties of enlightenment and warning. The Stellar voices are less definite this year than he aul ee and he has had the test difficulty in making out what the dickens it is they do mean. owever, a Prophet that respects himself would scorn to hedge, and Old PuncHxiz1 issues his predictions as usual, merely reminding searchers after truth that stars wz// play the fool occasionally. January.— Mars retrograding before Taurus into the 1st House of Saturn will prove a subject for profound study, for it is certain to be followed by a public inquiry into the ane our Army, which will be the subject of much discussion in newspapers. Persons engaged in philosophical or the sale of cats’meat whose birthday anniversary falls on or near the 14th, are warned to beware of over-indulgence in ry. February.—The Sun is with the Infortunes, and meets with oppo- eupeeted.. ‘Tho sign’ Pieces vase Pupiey, acai Danone oe ex . e sign Pisces es Putney, Pec an Little Pedlington, and social upheavals alarming therefore be expected at all these places, with earthquakes of varying degrees of violence. On or about the 14th, there will be a notable display of Coloured Satirical Portraiture. Persons born on the 29th, in either 1785, 1802, 1841, or 1869 (especially if the Moon was in the second decanate of the sign & at their birth) will have no particular | th reason for congratulating themselves. March.—At the vernal ingress M q Gemini, will bring trouble on Moscow and i te. At Teddington, the luminaries in the midheayen, and the London Count Council will accordingly be the scene of intense excitement, remarks being freely interchanged. Single ladies, whose birthday anniversary falls on or about the 4th or 5th inst., will obtain heavy in any action for breach of promise of marriage, unless born in any year previous to 1842. April,— = enterin r~s 4 -— lion will — — <y * surprise in those un such phenomena, and ma ect the funds unfavourably on more than one Continental Seem. The sign Taurus rules Ireland, and a further development in Home Rule may be looked for. In the latter part of this month, a becomes stationary in Cancer, and afflicts the Beadle of a well-known and pular Arcade, who is warned to beware of shell-fish. The ict is mate for practical jokers. The 21st is an evil day for hatters progressing in the sign born on or about the 8th of November, whose ascendant, or Moon. held the 14th degree of Aquarius; they should have a care o accidents by steam-circuses and tight-ropes. May.— progressing in the meridional degree of West Brompton will render this month memorable in English History. At the new Moon Mercury is in the ascendant, y we shai soon hear of an improvement in the weather, and the outbreak of in a col considerab s amongst the Ojibbeway Indians. Saturn retro- ft brings trouble on the Emperor of Cuma, who will suffer in the Read The and commerce will be ly augmented. There will be trouble in Tooley Street. piter is now in benefic aspect with the Moon, and forming the trine with the Sun, thereby benefiting Brentford and the Bahamas. In either Boulogne, W estward-Ho, Oban, Tenby, or Tim- buetoo, there will be serious émeutes, the military having to be called out. Conspirators in Cyprus and the Isle of Wight will become daring. In K tka, there will be trouble with the Dervishes. Towards the close of the month Saturn re-enters the sign Aries, and proceeds to disturb and afflict Huntingdonshire, and Westbourne Grove, = pune Swat will be in denger. a The stationary position of Venus on Scorpio is of evil omen teal” who are fond of sitting out of doors, and Venus making a hasty.transit to the house of Virgo, oceults the Moon and brings disaster popular places of entertainment. Neptune also afflicts persons at the ide who go out in sailing vessels imme- diately after lunch. Saturn is in quartile with Mars, which infor- tune is about to transit the place of the Moon at the birth of a celebrated Low Comedian, who will do well to accept the warning. About this time a new comedy will be produced at a Matinée at one of the London theatres. - ‘ars and Saturn are now afflicting the horoscope of a ufacturer, causing great perplexity and trouble eect Powers, and some confusion in Camber- well and the vicinity. warrior-angel of Mars may put in an appearance. Prussia feels the effects of the presence of Uranus in her says Be but gains to some extent by the conjunction of Jupiter ercury ; the funds will d on the London Stock Exchange, and bad eggs will be hatched in great abundance. Foreign will be very difficult of solution. .—Saturn reaches the opposition of the place of the Lunar Eclipse of last May, and brings further trouble on the Shetland Tdands. The Sea-Serpent will be heard of again, and several topics of t social interest will be discussed at some length in the ence-columns of the daily newspapers. Beyond this the voices of the Stars are silent for this month. October.—As the benefic Jupiter is in the 1st decanate of the 7th house, and speeding through the sign of Pisces at the New Moon we may anticipate earthquakes in Coppatons, Paphlagonia an Primrose Hi Persons who go out shooting during this month without previous ience of firearms, will bring home big bags, but are warned to act prudently and use a small size of shot. November.—The numerous configurations of Venus in her con- junctions with Mars are the chief astrological features of this month, and fan the flame of fanaticism at Faversham, Freshwater, Folke- stone, and Friesland. There will be street demonstrations on or about the 5th, to express abhorrence of an abominable act of treachery known public character. The ruling powers of several i will find it hard to weather the storm. There strike among London Housebreakers, who will shorter hours of labour, freedom from police interference, and a larger share of the profits of their industry. December.—The passage of Uranus from the sign Aries into Cap- ricornus will, it is to be feared, keep the School Board very busy, and the total eclipse of the Sun at the moment of ruling the 10th House in quartile aspect with Uranus, Saturn being in the ascendant. may have an injurious effect upon many eminent pawnbrokers an ventriloquists. However, Old Puwcnxret does not wish to take too gloomy a view of the future, and trusts that he may have invested e message of the Stars with too serious a significance. This is really all he can possibly undertake to prophesy for the money. measles d

THE BOND STREET ART-ERY. “* CuancE of scene is as good as change of air!” Therefore going to DowpEswEL1s’ is as good as a trip to Monte Carlo—for they are always changing the scene at this Gallery. The Jatest change is “* e Places of Note in England,” by Binxet Fosrer. which includes about fifty drawings by this artist, in his best manner. If we had we would write on this subject at length, but we have not; so, al though this notice is about Braxet Foster, we're forced to burke it. Ha! ha! In addition to these, you will find a series of drawings in silver- point—full of grace and delicacy, by C. Santon, and a collection of clever pictures, by W. A.

UNLIMITED WATER-LOO.

Bogus Place, E.C. Sre,—Having received a Circular from the Secretary of the | “* Waterloo Exhibition of Relics and Trophies” ‘a display which, taken with a Panorama, of the greatest possible interest to every True Briton, should form, as no doubt it will, a combination of anrivalled attractiveness) inviting contributions to the Collection, and with an eye to securing the Special Season Ticket promised to

every Exhibitor, I have quickly rubbed u tions, and have provided the Committee wi that, I think, you will admit ought to obtain ready acceptance. 1. An authentic likeness of the great Duke in the shape of a China Bed-room Candle Extinguisher, handsomely gilt, with eye- brows, whiskers, and cheeks picked out in appropriately striking and showy colouring. my historical associa- 2. Twenty of Bluchers, in very fair condition (secured from an East-End Bootmaker), i eo one of them, to have been worn by the great Prussian General, possibly at the battle itself, and the others during the succeeding occupation of Paris. Plan Model of the disposition of the contending forces at the representation of the battle on the stage of Astley’s Theatre in 1837, when the British Army (including WrLLINeTon and his Staff) num- bered eight and one Comic Irishwoman, and the last charge of the French Imperial Guard was conducted by seven supers, exclusive of Naro.eon himself and a Low Comedy Drum-Major. 1. Authentic account furnished by the executors of General Picron (who heard it himself), of the celebrated retort of Napotzow to Motty the Comic Irishwoman referred to above, when in reply to her styling his Imperial troops ‘‘a set of low Black- ” he delivered hhimeslf of the memorable phrase, ‘‘ Madame, the Guard never yields; it only retires.” 5. Autographs and hitherto unpublished letters of both Narotzow and Weturneron, N.B. As (this, of course, in strict confidence) I furnish these entirely myself, it will be seen at once that they must prove quite an unprecedented novelty, and, therefore, an attraction, in any collection of the kind, 6. Relies of the great battle. Again N.B. (in confidence). I get these manufactured on the spot at Bruxelles, and as they are supplied to me by the dozen, you will see at once, what a valuable addition I can guarantee the Exhibition from this source alone. 7. Crumbs collected from the first Waterloo Banquet, preserved by the Grandson of a Waiter present on the occasion. The above, Sir, are all the “items” that at the present moment cecur to me, but I think you will confess that. if considered suitable attractions for their ‘‘ Spacious Lounge” by Mr. Aveustus Harris and his co-directors, they will not fail to afford additional i i to the general ublie, and in so doing will fittingly have earned a special Season Ticket for the Exhibition of the Kelics and Trophies of that glorious and never-to-be-forgotten victory of the British Army, Waterloo, for yours enterprisingly, One Wao Wasn’r THeErs. the following “‘ items,’’ | presen | be called ‘ blooms.”

JOURNAL OF A ROLLING STONE, Tarep Entry. On my homeward way reflect that if all trades fail, that of « Scholastic Agent might offer a modest moter. as fate in store for me a partnership with Fiexcem—also with Jinxs? Wonder v ly if Juovxs is a second Fiercem, only more so. If Freeceu is the chow man of the establishment, what must Juvxs be like ? As I am making an educational day of it, decide after lunch to call on one or two old College chums who, I know, have “ adopte the Scholastic Profession,” as the Governor says. It being their holidays, I may find them in Town—Btocerns among the number. Old Broeers, a thoroughly good sort, but rather an ass, I used to think, tells me he is making a clear five hundred a year at Sher- , *‘ without counting private pups, which is extra.” , you get no end of jolly rides over the downs,” he goes on. Nice of BLocorns to say “ you.”” Makes me feel as if J were already in the educational swim, and not a rank outsider. Better to be an out-rider (or rider out on the Sherborough Downs) than an out-sider ! Fancy old Biosaerys riding! in rather to wish I were in old Biocerns’s shoes—or rather old BLocerns's saddle. 4 So far he has not mentioned the actual work of the profession. ** Do you like the business ?” I ask. ‘*Rather! Boys jolly little cubs. Only I can’t see them very well, I’m so short-sighted. at in the wrong boy for two hours one day—didn't find out mistake till afterwards,” BLoeers chuckles. * Work hard ?” I inquire. ; ; “Oh, tolerably,” he replies, as if this were an unimportant con- sideration. ‘* And there are such jolly long holidays!” ~ I leave Biocerns in contented (and selfish f) enjoyment be his five hundred, and on to another friend, who has a y into a kee a hostel (why “hostel”? Query—affected ?), and educational swell at the ancient academy at Rugbow. I put the usual leading “Jolly place, Rugbow,’ near. And fishing. Dam ou can uestions. ; he replies. ‘‘ No end of rook-shootin pandcold? Ohno. Hard work? Well, make it hard, you know, if you like.” Here he winks ly. ‘‘ And the best of the trade is, the holidays are so j !”” Mem.—Most popular feature about work of ‘ Scho Profession” (Governor again) seems to be the unrivalled oppor- tunities given far 008 welling ot it. nr Tell the Governor in the evening that ‘‘ there seems no opening in the ic line.” He replies that ‘‘that is no news to him, because,” he adds, with unnecessary sarcasm, ‘* by my account, the t is a close time in all the professions.” ‘ And this after I have tramped about all day and got nothing!

Decemper 28, 1889.] PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. 309 STATESMEN AT HOME. DCXL. Tae Lorp Caancettor at 4, Ennismore Garpens, 8.W. As you walk eastward skirting Hyde Park, and are temporarily lost in admiration of that priceless canopied monument raised to the memory of the Prince Consort, you reflect upon the fitness of things that marks your mission. In undertaking the last chapter of the first series of Statesmen At Home (back numbers and complete volume to be had on application to the publisher), you congratulate yourself on the, you may perhaps say, skilful manner in which you have led up to the very pin various stages, and at len you reach the Lorp Hien Cuancetitor. Beyond this, save you touch the skirt of Royalty, you can no further . Your host of to-day is the First Judicial Officer of the Crown, the first Lay Person of the State after the Blood Royal. He is created neither by writ not patent, but by the mere delivery of the Great Seal into his custody. In like manner the act of ing away the Seal by the Sovereign determines the office. Presently, as you sit with your host on the miniature Woolsack cosily cornered by the over-hanging eaves of the i lace in the well-pro- portioned dining-room, he cites a well-known case which shows how con- venient this peculiarity of ‘his high office ‘might on occasion be. In that manner so familiar in the Law Courts and in the High Court of Parlia- ment—a medley of and humour with the lightest touch as of softest zephyr—he laughingly recalls an incident which befel on the very threshold of his parliamentary career. Returned Member for Launceston, a suffering from the strokes of envy at various other constituencies unsuccessfully wooed, he at last came up to the Table of the House of Commons to take the Oath. Asked in ordinary form to produce the return to the Writ, Sir Harpince Grrrarp (as your host then was), dived in the breast-pocket of his coat, expecting to find the document there. But he found it not, and, the cynosure of the eyes of a crowded House, conscious of stopping its p’ ings, he hunted in ev pocket for the missing and necessary document. After a scene of growing ity on the part of a reckless Opposition, it was found under the Bench where the newly elected Solicitor-General had been seated before being called to the table. You have heard a shrewd judge of current events state his opinion that the incident, trivial as it might a had a marked influence upon the future career of even then not youthful Solicitor-General. It was felt that a man with such infinite miscellaneous resources in and about his garments, such an armoury of pocket-knives, such a collection of bits of string, such numerous handkerchiefs. such an infinitude of scraps of paper, would never at any crisis be found | lacking. You are glad to mention this favourable comment. 7 rv !” says your host, an ingenuous blush mantling his countenance, oe ou are always too good to me, Tony, dear boy. Still I think it is just as well that neither writ nor patent is required in the matter of the creation of Lord Chancellor. It would not have done for me to come up and not be able to find my patent when demanded.” The Lorp CHANCELLOR’s table is littered with letters and telegrams, Flemish buffets are tenanted by a collection of Dutch pottery, and through the foldin doors you catch a glimpse of the picture gallery with its unique collection o predecessors in office. There is a mezzotint in remarkable preservation of ARFasTus (sometimes called Henrerast), Chaplain to WiLLiaM the Conqueror, and Bishop of Etmnam, who was the first Lord Chancellor, having received, in 1067, the Seal which at this moment dangles from the watch-fob of your host. There is Jouw Moreton, Archbishop of Canterbury, temp. 1487, first of a succession of prelates, who also held the office of Lord Chancellor. The dark face of Taomas More, first Lay Lord Chancellor, looks with softened expression on his illustrious successor of to-day. There, too, is Francis Bacon, Epwarp | Hypx, Earl of CLarenpon; Sir Francis Nortu, Lord Guitprorp; Lord Jerrries of sanguinary memory ; Snvon, Lord Harcourt, forbear of a greater man who shines in the Victorian Age; Gorpow and Taurtow, and Expon and Ersxryeg, Lyypuvrst and BrovenaM, CHELMSFORD and CamMpBELL—they all stand in line | im the far-reaching gallery. As your host leads you adown the list you | almost fancy that they do obeisance toa greater than any. _ The svelte figure of your host is most familiar in the public 7 in the per- formance of his functions as prorocutor of the House of Lords and President of the Highest Court of Appeal. No happy stranger who has witnessed from the | Gallery of the House of s the state v aesall of your host as he marches in | procession to the Woolsack ean ever forget it, nor does there fade the memory of Ris gracious presence when, the Woolsack reached, he flings himself upon its broad bosom, and looks as if he were about to tell their Lordships the story of his life. But these ceremonial duties form only a portion of the mighty power wielded by Harpiner Stantey Grrrarp, first Baron Hatssury, Lord High Chancellor of England. The office having, as mentioned, been in early times filled by eccle- siastics, the Lord Chancellor became keeper of his Sovereign’s conscience, and, by an odd coincidence, he concurrently exercisesa superintendence as Guardian over infants, idiots, and lunatics. He has the appointment of all Justices of the Peace in the Kingdom, is Visitor in the a right of all Royal Founda- tions, and is patron of all Crown livings under the value of twenty marks. **A great responsibility for a f iy man, Tosy, is this unlimited » One always tries to do his best, but there are bickerings within and contumely without which modify the satisfaction with which one hears that a Crown living has fallen in, or that a desirable place in connection with the Courts of Justice is vacant.” Your host is still ing of the drawbacks of his high postion, when the sight of his carriage reminds him that he is already due at the House of You thread your way through the wealth of furniture—the Empire Candelabra e of human greatness.
