The “opening” would, of cuurse, be written by ‘‘a serious bard with a mission.” No doubt the story would be told in a manner most productive to the manufacture of prigs. The transformation over, Clown, Pantaloon, Harlequin and Columbine would be discovered in a group. Clown (in the conventional tone), Here we are again ! Bumble (representing the L. C. C.). Scarcely.

You must it me to in e Council cannot recognise any practical joke of the kind. If you wish to have the same sort of fun, pull up the streets in the most frequented thorough- fares in the metropolis—the Strand and Fleet Street for choice. Clown (as before). Oh, here’s a baby! Let’s smash it! Bumble. Please my advice. The Council do not object to the keeping down of babies in the abstract. But personal violence is contrary to the law. If you really wish to decrease the surplus Aa why not work it to death at a board-school? It may a slower than throwing it over a lamp-post, but the incident will be truer to life, and therefore more convincing. Clown (as before). Oh! old ’un, here’s a peeler coming! Bumble, Pray be under no apprehension. Until the Police Force is placed under the direct control of the Council, the members will do their best to protect you. It stands to reason that a great community like London uld have its own guardians under its own direct control. Clown (as before). And now let’s jump through this building. Bumble.

We all ken that when Rome burned Nero fiddled, but this hero—not an ’ero—had and every opportunity of extinguishing—my Baronite means “ distin- guishing himself ;” and our cavalier availed himself, after many other wondrous episodes, to rush with warm enthusiasm to throw the immortal Mr. Barlow, with so much kind thought for youthful learning. It may be Greek to many who have but a dim, far-off k of the first great burlesque writer: but this his book will bring it all Homer again to us. Quite a relief to turn to our dear Nonsense Songs and Stories, by Epwarp Leak (FREDERICK Warne & Co.) Vague yellow undulating pessimi«m notwithstand- ing, how pleasant is real good nonsense! And even the fairy story eannot be crushed by our juggernaut modern science, than which the imaginative impossible, as in Thought Fatries, by HELEN WATExs, in the Seren Imps, by KatuLteew Wat.is, is so much more attractive to youthful brains. Both books issued by Diesy, Lone, & Co., and wise of them to do so.

Deoemame 29, 1894.] PUNCH, OR THE READING BETWEEN THE LINES. (A Physician's Protest.) Mr. Poncu,—As a specialist of some anting and experi- ence, I wish, Sir, to call attention, through medium of your valuable paper, to the injurious effects of a certain occu- pation upon the minds of the individuals engaged in, and to the advisability of taking steps, before it is too late, for their protection. The occupation to which I refer is that of devising and arranging what I understand are technically known as “‘ head- lines” for the contents-bilis of the more inexpensive London evening papers—an occupation which I have no hesitation in characterising, on evidence unconsciously supplied by the sufferers themselves, as a highly dangerous employment. I am not sufficiently vane, Sir, in the minutia of news- paper routine, to know what precise class of are entrusted with this particular emer I have a strong suspicion that it may be one of the many forms of degrading drudgery which the selfishness of man has imposed If so, of course it only increases the " a7 ed yng wintek th perf: such And, w er w er the persons orming duties may be, it is painfully obvious that they are labouring under conditions of mental excitement, the strain of which no nervous system can support for any of time without inevitable and complete collapse. — Should there be any who consider this an overstatement on my part, I merely ask them to give a glance at some of these same contents-sheets which are nightly displayed in our of the | eee gy Let them mark > ee size ing, the peculiar extrav e epithets the morbid insistence upon enpltaoet detai if they can, that the unhappy persons employed in such an industry are aff thereby with some obscure form of hysteria. Otherwise, let me ask wou, Sir, is it likely, is it credible, that seasoned jo i men of the world, in touch with life at innumerable ts, could, in a normal state of health, be so constantly ‘‘S epee Mem od ** Shocked,”’ ‘* Appalled,” and ‘* Revolted,” as they admit them- selves to be, almost every evening, by reports and rumours which a little reflection would convince them were utterly unfounded, or by events too ordinary and commonplace, one might have > a to upset the mental equilibrium of a neurotic rabbit Occasionally, too, there are yg of an excessive rev- erence for rank, which, when found in the more democratic organs (where, indeed, they are chiefly observable), denote a somewhat distempered state of intellect, the delusion apparently being that the mere ion of any sort of title renders its owner immaculate, Thus, they announce with awestricken solemnity ‘* A Peer’s Peccadilloes,” or “‘ A Baronet Bilks his VERY HARD LINES. Young Farmer (pulling up at urgent appeal of Atutrion). Hino! THAT you, Tim? LIVING WITH CAPTAIN ADDLEPATE AS CoOACHMAN ?” Tim, ‘‘So I was, Sok ; BUT "TWASN’T A FAIR BARGIN, NEVER TO GeT THRUNK BOTH AT WaNce, Sor!” Young Farmer (amused), ‘‘ W&UL, THAT SEEMS FAIR ENOUGH, ANYWAY.” Tim, ‘‘ But, pecorra, Sor, THe CarTin was THRUNK THE WHOLE BLISSID TormE !” WANT ANOTHER SITUATION ! ay, | THOUGHT YOU WERE SHURE WE WAS Baker,” giving these events a poster all to themselves, as others | os adequately ? They have not; they have squandered participles would an earthquake, or some portent of direst significance. Now this loss of the sense of propertien in — ~_ Sir, is a| i e indica nerve-strain | very bad sign, and a well-nig and general overpressure. But I find a yet more unmistakable evidence in su of my contention in the extraordinary emotional sensibility rev by these headlines whenever some unfortunate person has been sentenced to death for the most common murder. There is clearly a profound conviction that the jury who heard the evidence, the judge who _ nounced their verdict of guilty, the only possible conclusion they could reasonably come to, and self unable to recommend a reprieve, were, one @ ina cold-blooded conspiracy against a perfectly innocent man. e con- vict has said so himself, and that seems to be considered sufficient. And so, night after night, the authors of these headlines harrow them- selves by announcing such items as ‘* Blank protests his innocence to ‘plank ‘Hopeful’ “Blank. Depressed.” “ Distressing Scene’ on ** Blan opeful,” “* ” “ Distressing e on the Seaffoid.” ‘* Blank’s Last Words.” Consider the strain of all these alternations of hope and despair, repeated time after time, and almost invariably without even the consolation of deferring the fate of their protégé by a single hour! Is it not too much for the strongest constitution to endure? a omreige A : society has no right to demand from any of its mem Yes, Sir, whether these devoted servants of the public know it or not, they are running a most frightful risk ; the sword which hang above their heads may fall at any moment.

What precise remedy should be adopted I do not profess to point out. Per some one of the numerous leagues established to pro- tect adult citizens against ves might take the matter up, and insist upon these contents-bills being set up for the future in smaller type with epithets of a more temperate order. P Parlia- ment or the County Council might be asked to interfere. All that is not within my province, Sir, but this I do say: unless some measures are taken soon, the heavy responsibility will be upon us of having permitted a small but deserving class of our fellow- | creatures to hurry themselves into premature mental decay by the pernicious and unwholesome nature of their em ent.

Decemezr 29, 1894.) PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. 300 | TO MELENDA. (A Repentance in Triolets.) I swore to you, dear, there was mistletoe there, Though I knew all the time there was none. As I stole a sweet kiss from you out on the stair I swore to you, dear, there was mistletoe there. I have plenty of sins on my soul, dear, to bear, But at least I’ve confessed now to one. I swore to you, dear, there was mistletoe there Though I knew all the time there was none. i " Ya) — Iam sorry. I never will do it again, And please am I fully forgiven ? In the future from falseh I mean to refrain. Iam sorry. I never will do it again, But look at yourself in your glass to explain Why to mistletoe tale I was driven. Iam sorry. I never will do it again, And please am I fully forgiven ? There’s an answer you'll send if you’re thoroughly kind, That will make me feel free from all blame. I hope you ’ll be glad, dear MeLenDa, to find There ’s an answer you'll send if you’re thoroughly kind. It’s this, ‘* Though the mistletoe was but a blind, Still with none I'd have done just the same.” There’s the answer you'll send if you ’re thoroughly kind That will make me feel free from all blame. Tue Baron’s P.8.—The Border Waverley, brought out by Nimmo, and edited by Anprew Lane, is now concluded, and a fine set of volumes it makes. No better collection of as a : present for anyone with a regard to a future of literary enjoyment. Nos omnesne laudamus Nimmo Et respondit Echo: “ Immo.” nothing “Ha! ha! I don’t go to.a Westminster though, as though he ‘added sotto voce, ’m a guest.” Yee do FIRST IMPRESSIONS. Genoa in November. It is summer time. Put on thin suit, drink my café au lait by open window, and stroll out into beautiful G in the sunshine. Déjeuner in the en of the old palaces. Sit in the shade, hat. the poor in frugal Tanck ot the funsy little open sir unc y little open-air restaurant in Hyde Park. Lemonade and a bath bunin a fog. Should imagine not. Charming place, Genoa. Hardly any Germans. Can at last hear people talk- ing Italian. In Venice there are sw many Germans that one might as well be in Germany. Sitting out on the Piazza, one hears incessantly their monotonous, guttural chatter, always in the same tone Se Se ee aed emotion, _ Ww wi a Watched at the hotel table d’ héte a Ger- man lady sitting between two German gentlemen. One man talked loudly with- out ceasing, mouth full or mouth empty, from soup to dessert. The other man rather older and feebler, also talked without ceasing, but he could not equal the other’s noise; he only added to it. As fur the lady, her lips moved all the time ; one could imagine the ja wohl, the ach, so? the ja, ja, ja, bat one could not hear a word. At Florence, at Milan, on - Lak es it is the same. If by chance one hears a Frenchman speak, charming language sounds more vivacious and melodious than ever before. So it is good to be in Genoa, where even the best hotel is y+ Wy Italians. Apparently every other good hotel in Italy is k err a thout my Scumupr, or Herr W exer, or Herr SomeTuIncoroTuer, the servants are . There is one hotel in Genoa kept bya German. It faces the harbour. All night whistles, screams, or, rumblings, same roars, and from trains, shi tramways. All day long there is the same noise, only more of it. But the Germans do not mind ; they talk just the same, and they make each other hear through it all. Genoa, with a town hall that is the gayest imaginable. Marble staircases, vestibules adorned with ms beautifal little gardens, at all sorts of levels, outside the windows of the various offices, Ev here flowers. If the town rates in Genoa are paid at the Town Hall, the paying of them must be almost pleasant. One would go with that horrible demand note, if that is used also in Italy, and fancy that one was arriving at a ball. The palm-decorated entrance looks just like it. It only needs a lady rate collector, such a» one hears of in England, and one surely, in whatever manner the Italians my say it, would beg the charming signora to give one the honour pleasure of a dance, and scribble her name on the programme—I mean the demand note. And no doubt, the Italian officials being leisurely and the space being ample, one could find time for a waltz in the intervals of rate paying, or at least sit it out in one of the delightful little gardens of this ideal Palazzo Municipale. ; And so farewell to sunny Genoa, and off to Turin. German hotel again, German a meter German servants. Solitary German visitor drinking his morning coffee. The hotels of Turin are not crowded; he and I are alone. What will the man do? He must talk his awful language to someone. He shan't talk it to me, for 1 will pretend I do not unde even one word. e waiter has left the room. Must the poor man be silent? Thunderweather, ah no! Happilywise he is saved. The considerate proprietor, thoughtful of his qoestepreens needs, enters; he stands by the visitor’s table, and the tal ins, When it ends I cannot say, for I leave them, well started in good voice, and hear, as I think, their sweetly m:lodivus for the last time in Italy. The train carries me away. is not much more of Italy now, for here is the Mont Cenis tunnel. Farewell, beautiful country, beauti- ful pictures, beautiful language! There is someone out of the next carriage window. No doubt he is also saddened ; he i» speaking to others inside, his vuice is cheerful, he is evidently trying not to give way to despair. Now I hear what he says, “* La werde ich ein Gias Bier trinken, ja, ja, ja!” A Frast Impressionist. Wanrep! a Perfect Cure for the incompatibility of Judges’ sentences.
