GOOD WINNING
HANDS.
The American leg is
likely to have such a suc-
cessful run, that an inge-
nious inventor is trying his
hand at a false arm ; for he
declares that enterprise and
talent can always find elbow-
room. There is no doubt
that if he succeeds in pro-
ducing the article he con-
templates, and can offer a
good practicable arm, the
public will take him by the
hand with the utmost, cor-
diality. The Railway Com-
panies will be excellent cus-
tomers, for their difficulty
has always been that a man
has by nature only one pair
of hands, while a railway
servant is expected to do
the work of at least twenty.
If by any new invention
the directors may be able to
take on an unlimited number
of extra hands without em-
ploying one additional man,
the great object will be
achieved of getting the
work of some ten or a dozen
pair of hands performed for
a single salary.
Another branch of the ex-
pected demand for false
hands, will arise from public
meetings and elections ; for
where it is important to
have an imposing show of
hands, to be able to hold up
a dozen or so, instead of
a single pair, will become a
very valuable privilege.
AUSTRIAN JEWS AND THE AUSTRIAN LOAN.
here is a grim bit of humour in
the Jewish Chronicle, in a letter
from a Jew, bearing date, Vienna,
Sept. 15. It touches on the Aus-
trian Loan. The Jews — says
the droll Israelite—would have
nothing to do with the loan of
£8,000,000, because they feared
future persecution. Where-
upon, the Government assured
the Jews that they would be left
in the enjoyment of their pre-
sent liberties,
" Since this assurance, the rich
Jewish bankers of Vienna have ex-
erted themselves with all their might
in aid of the loan. This is an im-
portant fact in Jewish history."
A very important fact, and
very illustrative of the Hebrew
mind. But let us proceed:
" From this they can learn that the
. . . acquisition of civil and religious liberty
is in their own power, if they will but have moral courage enough to exert the power
they possess—holding, as they do, the purse-strings of Europe."
There is a fine philanthropy in this; an enlarged sense of the
blessings of religious liberty. If the svnasogue may stand, money
will be supplied for the destruction of Christian cities: if the halter
be kept from the neck of the Hebrew, the Heb rew will undraw the
purse-strings of Europe to buy any number of halters for the patriots of
blungary. Certainly, " an important fact in Jewish history! "
' W"7 ! j*'s a ^tupid way we've "—as the St. Pancras Vestry-
man said, when asked how they came to pave the New Road with
Wood.
THE CAPTAIN SMITH OE PROTECTION.
An M. P. bold, but rather lax, who led the county martyrs,
Deceived Protection, who put trust in corn at high-priced quarters;
His tricked supporters smited him ; he lost adherents daily,
Who took to calling " Rat" if he appeared; and hiss'd Disraeli.
Oh, Disraeli ! unfortunate Disraeli !
Oh, Disraeli ! unfortunate Disraeli !
One night, as he lay wide awake, in terrible dejection,
To think of the mistake he made in flirting with Protection,
Apparelled in a rural smock, with cheek of turnip paly,
Its Ghost stepped up to his bedside, and cried, " Hallo, Disraeli ! "
Oh, Disraeli ! &c.
" Though I be dead and buried, I be come again to haunt you ;
Deserting of me as you did, I've got a right to taunt you ;
I little thought that ever you'd behave so mean and scaly,
When first you came a-courting me, you naughty Ben Disraeli '."
Oh, Disraeli ! etc.
Says he, " With our constituents we accounts at last must all close;
You'll find my farewell speech in my worn-out BucKS-skin small clothes.-
Take that, and bother me no more.''—The Ghost then vanish'd gaiiy,
Crying, " Blest are we in parting with our Member, Ben Disbaeli ! "
Oh, Disraeli ! &c.
Outgrowing the Rod.
The Standard informs us that
" Me. Birch has resigued the situation of preceptor to the Prince of Wales."
The fact is, that his Royal Highness has grown to such a height,
that he is very properly considered to be too tall for the discipline of
Birch. Now Birch's occupation at Court is gone, perhaps that of
the Usher of the Black Rod will follow.
A Surgeon writing to the Times, asks if there is any law for branding
a deserter. We beg to inform him that we know of no such law, and
that if there is any it must be a brand new one.
