Tuery 'VE Got THEIR REVOLVERS IN THEIR Hanns!” = DARBY JONES CONSIDERS MR. TOD SLOAN AND MANCHESTER. Honovurep Sir,—It were idle to conceal from you that the Departure of J. Top Stoan, Esquire, for the Land of the Heaven-soaring Eagle has been hailed with considerable delight, not only by our own Native Knights of the Pigskin, but also by a very large portion of the B. P. Not because J. Top S., Esquire, is not a very Estimable Personage, but by reason of the fact that, always nevi had the Pick of our Horses during the Period in which he honoured our little Rabbit-warren, he came to be regarded as a Human Motor-car, capable of driving the most Unreliable Crocks to Victory, and forcing the Genteel Pencillers to lay odds whi ought, as Captain Krrrza2io™ truly remarks, to nave suffused the cheek of the most Weather- worn Speculator with the Rosy Tint usually ascribed to the Gentle Maiden of Seventeen Summers. Far be it from me to decry the Equine Performances of this American Centaur. On the contrary, I consider that he has done to Racing what the Australian Cricketers did to the Noble Game for the enjoyment of which Lord’s and the Oval are still Oases in Modern Brickland, i.¢., he has made our Jockeys sit up while he laid down on the neck of his Chosen Mount. Probably when he returrs next year he will find that our Natives have profited by the a which he gave them. Perhaps J. Top S., Esquire, and his Staff may regret the Luxuries of London, but. it will be some Epicurean Crumb of comfort for them to remember that they are returning to Columbia at the height of the Canvas-back Duck Season. Had the Stars and Stripes Cavalier stayed with us for Manchester no doubt the Horse of his choice would now enjoy the Pre-eminence which Alt Mark enjoyed in the Liverpool quotations, and Wagerers from all parts of the Globe would have been taking the most Ridiculous Returns for their Outlay. But as things are, it is possible to approach the No- vember Handicap without that sinking of the Heart which invariably accompanied the Sifting of the Wheat from the Chaff, while J. Top 8., Esquire, was busy with the Bridle. In this mood | venture to winnow tne Equine grain as follows : — Fresh Harbour will not be my port, Legal Passage will not have my word; The Upstart is quite the right sort, And Uheat 'em has weight for a bird ; The Sundarkener 's well-nigh thrown in, If he start, then beware the “* green gee ;' But the Legman and Hot 'wn will spin Just after the Man of the Sea. I do not guarantee Success, but I trust that I may avert Disaster. With all defer- ence to your Chancellor of the Exchequer, 1 venture to point out that the Amount ot Blue Pencil with which he was callous enough to decorate my Bill of Coste at Liverpool and Derby would shame a Taxing-Master in Chancery. But 1 beg you, honoured Sir (for 1 have too much self-respect to address him myself) to assure him that J smile at his Pitiable Cheese- paring, having Solid Examples of Courage in Supporting such Noble Quadrupeds as Duamia, Lackford, Pintail, Sherburn, Trident, and, strange to say, Waterhen in my Wallet. I trust that you will not fail to convey to him my resolute meaning, at the same time reminding him that while Omnibi were made for the Slow, Hansoms were instituted for the Progressive. That he will understand my Sarcasm is more than I can credit, but you, honoured Sir, will readily comprehend my Biting Allusion to his Cheque on Rapid Progression. Your humble but resentful servitor, Darsy Jones. [D. J. may be as resentful as he pleases, but not at our expense. We never authorised him to hire cabs at £3 a day, nor do we intend to do#o. As D. J. appears to be in funds, we shall be happy to square accounts. Perhaps he will comprehend our * biting allusion.’’— kp). NO MORE DOCTORS.

With faces long we used to go To worthy Doctor So-and-So, Of all practitioners the best For any trouble of the chest, And then with confidence imbibe The mixture which he would prescribe.

(To Prince George of Greece, with Mr. Punch’s best wishes. ) Grorcr! though the Powers may yet ar- range, For reasons too profound to mention, At this conclusive point to change The thing they call their fixed intention ; Let neither this disturbing view, Nor motives of domestic love, nor The question why they go for you Instead of some one else as Guv’nor, Unman you. You have booked your bunk Upon the friendly Tartar’s vessel ; Already with your weighty trunk The stout Pirzean porters wrestle ; And now, before the nauseous main Receives you, come! and, like a lamb, let Such wisdom trickle through your brain As fell from good Polonius (Hamlet). Across the bit of azure brine Where lately passed in easy splendour The Gentleman from Palestine. Our humble Faith’s Superb Defender, You sail to regions where the rose Is badly wrapt about with briars, To rule a race which “One who knows” Pronounced a set of sorry liars ; And, since they found that time was sav By living each upon his neighbour, And consequently often waived The dull formalities of labour, He called them idle-bellied men ; And doubtless still the isiand bristles With just as smart a lot as when The late St. Pav composed epistles. For still, when short of other work, The native goes and knifes his cousin, The Christian being to the Turk Even as six to half a dozen. So. when you tread the devious ways Of dark vendettas, you will please use That tact for wriggling through a maze Which marked the character of THEsEvs Follow his steps. but not so near As might imply an indiscretion ; For there were things in his career Which left behind a bad impression.

But to return to Christian Crete : You ’ll find its temper, thanks to us, is Reduced by some degrees of heat Since Noet nicked its blunderbusses ; For people (this you must have felt) Who have a natural gift for treason Without a pop-gun in the belt Are more amenable to reason. Let this reflection ease the way On which you should by now be wending, And may the line you take to-day Avoid the usual “Cretic ending.” * *“TIn the composition of iambic verse, the ‘Cretic,’ preceded by a spondee in another word. should be rigorously avoided at the end of a line.” — Beginner's Guide to Greek Verse.

We have seen the Mailed Fist shake hands with the Governor of Jerusalem, and open the new Lutheran Church, and dis- tribute medals to the German blue-jackets on Mount Zion, generally importing an air of “ Deutschland iiber alles” into Palestine, but these matters are now ancient history, and are, besides, only to be handled by Court painters and poets-laureate. A lighter treatment would run the risk of prosecution for lése-mailfisté, or some other awful crime. The Jaffa railway is great in scenery, gradients, associations, and everything except trains and rolling-stock. When an unfortunate accident occurred last Monday a few miles from Jerusalem, there was no available locomotive to transport us to the sea. I regret to say we beguiled the long hours of waiting in a German Bierhaus harJ by the station. Still, when you are in Jerusalem, you must do as the—Ger- mans do, i.¢., in this instance sit on a table with a Wurst in one hand and a beer-jug in the other. Embarking at Jaffa is exciting, in a rough sea, at 1 a.M., or, indeed, at any time. Itisa good deal worse than Durban. You are rowed out to the ship in surf- boats, and nearly wrecked, at starting, on the rock whereon Andromeda was chained. After about twenty minutes’ pitching and tossing, you reach your steamer and make shots at the gangway, as the waves rise and fall. In the fearful chamois-leap you take from the boat, all your t misdeeds flash through your mind, and thoughts of | the old folks comfortably in bed at home, |the girl (or the luggage) you left behind you, the sweet little cherub sitting up aloft, the Bay of Biscay, Oh!

Or Christmas books my Baronitess writes :— Possibly owing tothe unprecedented success of a certain little girl’s quaint drawings of ‘“‘ Animal Land,” there is a gigantic boom in the ways and doings of ye bipeds and quadrupeds. Very little ones with a thirst for know- ledge of unnatural history, will discover much that is sympathetic to their studies in The Troubles of Tatters (BLACKIE AND Son), a poor little waif of a dog with a string of tales by ALIcE TaALWIn Morris, and iusteated by Atice B. WoopwarpD. Stories from Lowly Life (Macmittan & Co.), by C. M. Duppa, are full of quiet, pleasurable interest, with pictures by Louis WAIN. Sybil’s Garden of Pleasant Beasts, by Syprt and KATHARINE CORBET, is an uncommonly lively spot, though not limited to a bear-garden. Evidently the animals in The Fables bu Fal, illustrated by Sir Puitie BuRNE-JoweEs, have been attacked with that persistent pessimism of fashionable decadence, and the grimness of tragedy is suggested in these stories, especially in that of the ‘‘ Wail of the Winkles.” Both these books are published by Duckwortu & Co. ‘Tt is all nonsense,” declares the preface; but life would not be worth living without its moments of nonsense, and MARY KERNAHAN’S book is Nothing but Nonsense (JAMES BowDEN), and very good it is. The pictures, by Tony Lupovict, are simply beautifully ridiculous. _The Golliwogg at the Seaside (LonGMANS, GREEN & Co.), with pictures by FLoRENCE Upton, and verses by BERTHA Upton, will be thoroughly appreciated by the most youthful tripper who has tasted the jovs of holiday existence by the sad sea waves. Dear little ‘‘ Red Riding Hood” appears as fresh as ever, artisti- cally re-dressed by WALTER CRANE, in her own Red Riding Hood's Picture Book (JouN Lane), in company with several other old favourites of fairy lore. These are for the simple student of the nursery. The school- boy’s turn comes next, with his insatiable thirst to read of life as he imagines it should be, one long realm of adventure and ro- mance. In The Treasure Cave of the Blue Mountains (OLIPHANT, ANDERSON, FERRIER), by OLIPHANT SMEATON, illustrated by JoserH Brown, this ideal is found in thrilling surroundings. And again, in The Knight of the Golden Chain(ARTHUR PEARSON), by R. D. Cuerwops, romance is insidiously welded with history, a delicate method similar to that of giving powders in jam. ; The utter fierceness of the two gentlemen on the cover of Draw Swords, gives a fair notion of MANVILLE FrEnn’s story, which takes place in the early Victorian pre-examination days, when a you soldier’s existence was certainly then a very lively and WANTED 4 FEW RESPEC TAR los CROCODILES Army wien RErenencee THE LABOUR MARKET.

[‘* There are vacancies at the Zoo for a few crocodiles of large size, and the upper reaches of the Nile are said to be swarming with them.’’—Daily Paper.) a happy one. The White Princess of the Hidden City, by Davip LAWSON JOHNSTONE, is not a fairy-story, as the title might sug- gest, but a wonderful romance of adventure in Central America, the land of sudden revolutions. So that the unexpected inevitably turns up. Such a capital situation for upsetting events. Com- plaints are very often heard that in the matter of literature boys are more considered than girls. For once there will be unmiti- ted delight among the bashful maidens of fifteen over L. T. EADE’S The Girls of St. Wode's (W. anpd R. CHamBEns, the ublishers of the books above-mentioned in this paragraph). e ‘‘new” girl has evidently a high old time in an sate aake college, rather different to the prim academy of old, where de- rtment and the prisms of life were of genteel consideration. ‘or smaller young women, Mrs. MoLeswortH has one of her charmingly-written tales, The Magic Nuts (MacMILLAN), which will prove pleasant cracking. What comes out must not be dis- covered. ‘Not for nuts” will we reveal the mystery beforehand. There are pictures by Rosrz M. Pitman. Like ‘‘ Brer Rabbit” of old acquaintance, the animals lie low in The Hollow Tree, and only come out to bring these tales, which have been repeated by ALBERT BiaEzLOw Parng, who con- stitutes himself the story-teller. The pictures are very excellent, by J. M. Cownpé, and the book is published by A. ConsTanLe & Co. THe Barow ve B.-W.

Sir,—I propose (of course with your permission) to place my British heart on exhibition, to show it throbbing with a wild pulsation of pride and ardour for the Yankee nation, to prove that, when the question ’s one of liquor, blood takes the cake because it ’s always thicker, and that allies when they are out for slaughter think much of blood, but pour contempt on water; that from our theatres—each with quite a full pit—from crowded platform and from thundering pulpit; from the great Banquet where, their waistcoats undone, the merchant princes of well-turtled London gather in throngs about the civic chair and toast creation plus the new Lord Mayor; from Court and Castle as from town and village, from teeming street, from less frequented tillage ; where Caledonia, neither stern nor wild, nurses at present no poetic child ; where emerald Erin, always with some Bill on, now shouts for Repmonp and now yells for Ditton; where the famed men of Harlech in the hollow, armed cap-a-pie, make “ billow ” rhyme to “follow,” and where the Church—this is peculiar, very—of Wales is in the See of Canterbury ; from where, resembling lovely flowers that lack scent, English is spoken with an English accent in fact from everywhere throughout our islands, East from West, from South and eke the Highlands, one voice is heard whose echo drowns all others, “ Hail to the Yankees, they ’re our friends and brothers! ” This being so, I take my heart in hand, Sir—you’ll notice how it beats “to beat the band,” Sir—and filled with all good feeling as I am, offer both heart and hand to Uncre Sam. He, too, understand, across the ocean displays a very similar emotion. He's just got through (it might begin again) a pretty tidy bout of knocks with Spain. I sometimes wonder how to Spain the | dose felt when the Rough Riders stormed that hill with Roose- vELT, and how it looked to see the fiery Teppy, while his teeth flashed and, riding far ahead, he cheered with fierce shouts (but | ay was General SHarter ?) his gallant cowboys who came rush- ing after. ese are the men, brave hearts and lots of muscle, to push their way through every kind of tussle: these are the men, our | stalwart kith and kin, who ’mid the bullet-hail and battle-din set their chins square and in their tattered jeans give to their foeman what they feed on—beans. These are our friends, with them, | when war-clouds lower and other nations sulk and growl and | glower, we can clasp hands across the stormy sea and face the world, our watchword, liberty! Friendship like ours of oceans is | a spanner; who recks of distance when their starry banner and our red flag are side by side unfurled and wave triumphant o'er the attentive world ? ' Pardon this burst, I merely meant to say, Sir, that musty by- gones now have had their day, Sir; that if the Rescript fails and wars continue I pin my faith to Anglo-Saxon sinew, the whole of —e kindly fates I thank ye !—is owned by us and by our friend the Yankee.

FORTHCOMING INVENTIONS. (By Our Own Mr. Tesla.) (“ Mr. NrxoLa Tesia has invented a machine for projecting powerful electric currents into space which will destroy any object against which they are aimed. He also offers to turn the machinery at the Paris Exhibition by electric force from Nia- gara, which is to be dixpatched across the Atlantic without wires.”"—Daily Paper.) In answer to an appeal from Mr. Punch for further novelties, Mr, Txsia offers us the following : — An electric machine for the distribution of the heat at present running to waste in the crater of Vesuvius among the kitchens of the Metropolis, where it would be useful for cooking purposes. An extension of Signor Marcont’s sys- tem of wireless telegraphy by which Lon- don could be supplied with water from the cenals which astronomers affirm can be per- ceived on the planet Mars. This should be of great assistance to the London County Council. A flying-machine propelled by electric waves in the atmosphere, which would en- able the business-man to go from Clapham to the City every morning without takin an omnibus. The same machine woulc take him home in the evening if a return ticket wastaken. Fares—3d. for the jour- ney, 5d. return. An electric apparatus by which heat waves could be attracted from the Sahara in winter, and cold waves from the North Pole in Summer, thereby providi an equable and pleasant climate for London. An electric converter by which the X-rays (Y “X”-rays?) could be utilised in the lighting of the London streets, and in pro- lling motor-carriages between Northum- Coston Avenue and Richmond. An electric fog-disperser. This ingenious machine could be set up at every street corner, and could be set in motion at any moment on placing a penny in the slot. Half-pennies or bent coin must not be used. For particulars of further projects, apply to the Editor of this paper. Laundress Herschell at the White House.

They had disabled the quick-firing guns, and put out the fires. The disaffection aboard the Majestic had spread to anothe: vessel. It was no longer a matter oi throwing about orange-peel and pomegra- nate-pips, but one of stern principle. “Will any of you men come out and argue with me?” was the invitation of the Admiral. There was a movement, and then Tom LANYARD, the smartest and tautest tar in the service, took two paces to the front and saluted. “It’s not for the likes of me to speak to the likes of you, your honour,” said the salt, respectfully, but firmly. “ All I know is, we take it as hard—very hard.” “My lads, I want to be ressonable. | am sorry to see you here, Tom Lanyarp, you whom I regarded as faithful as William the betrothed of Black-Eyed Susan.

Asking your pardon, we can’t do without our toffee. Since grog was stopped and tobacco put on the black list, we can’t do without our toffee.” “But be reasonable, my lads,” replied the commander. “You know that toffee made your fingers sticky, and how could you — the quarter-deck clean with sticky — ” fore the man before the mast could Unsophisticated Landlady, ‘‘ Ou, YE8, SiR.

Here the omission is sup- ylied, and, in deference to the modern spirit which now animates biank verse, without too pedantic an insistence upon Elizabethan diction. The characters represent those neighbouring lords who, being invited only to the iene and not “to dine and sleep,” would naturally walk home so early in the evening without waiting for their respective conveyances, and, being human, would inevitably discuss the eccentric manner in which they had been entertained. They are :— First Lord (a middle-aged, sensible, and somewhat sententious nobleman). Second Lord (a Kailyard Chieftain, canny and homely of speech, Mem —ZIt is singular that SHAKsSPEARKR, in a play dealing so largely with Scottish history and character, should never once have attempted to suggest the local colour by @ touch of dialect, But possibly he was not very good at it).
