224 PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. [November 30. 1861.
Ambitious Parent, “ Well, yes Sir, I want to insure him for a Thousand Pound against Accidental Death, Sir—as I’m thinking of' Prcntidng
him to Blondin!”—(Need we add, the ‘•proposal” is declined.)
ULTRAMONTANE ART TREASURES.
Among the various branches of industry to be represented at the
Great Exhibition of 1862, a very prominent position will be occupied
by the interesting, but, in this land of insular prejudice, too long and
too generally despised and derided art of Priestcraft. So, at least,
there appears good reason to conclude from the subjoined paragraph,
which has gone the round of the papers:—
“ The Pope and the Exhibition of 1862.—His Holiness the Pope has conde-
scended to order his Government to take part in the London Exposition of 1862.
For this purpose a commission will assist the Minister of Commerce and the Minis-
ter of Public Works in selecting the objects destined for the Exposition ; and further,
a pontifical commissioner will be sent to London, for the special purpose of taking
charge of the said objects. The expense of carriage and of insurance will be
defrayed by the Pontifical Government. Three thousand feet of space have been
set apart by the English commissioners for the exhibitors.”
It is expected that the objects selected by the Papal Ministers,
assisted by a commission composed of Princes of the Church, Mon-
signori, and other ecclesiastics, will comprise the following specimens
of sacerdotal ingenuity;—The Winking Image of Rimini, The Holy
Coat of Treves. The Heads of the Three Kin°;s and the Bones of the
11,000 Virgins of Cologne, which will be included in the Sacrosanct
Osteological and Anatomical Department. The Holy Eather would
have caused the blood of St. Januarius to be added to this part of the
collection, but for circumstances over which he has no control, and
which lacerate his paternal heart. The Bambino of Rome. The Casa
Santa of Loretto, provided the same means as those by which it was
conveyed to its present site from Galilee can be employed to transfer
it, to Brompton. The Apparition of La Salette, as originally got up.
An Extensive Assortment of Consecrated Wafers that bled when
pricked by Jews, and on other occasions; with Affidavits attesting
the Pacts. Several Images, Paintings, and Statues, which rolled their
Eyes, wept, and perspired, at Rome, at Ancona, in the Marches, and
elsewhere in the Roman States, during the greater part of the Year
1796. Sundry Bottles tilled with the Tears and Exudations of those
Holy Effigies. The Depositions of Nine-hundred-and-sixty-two Eye-
Witnesses, judicially interrogated, affirmative of the Reality of the
Phenomena and Genuineness of the Articles in Question. Machinery
anciently employed by the Holy Office for the Confutation of Heretics,
consisting ol Racks, Thumbscrews, and other Instruments applied in
performing Acts of Eaith. A Eac-Simile of the Or ginal Chair of St. j
Peter, bearing the Mahometan Inscription, in the ' ific Character,
which demonstrates the Authenticity of the Relic.
Nothing less than the wholesale conversion of England, Evangelical
Alliance, Lord Palmerston, Punch, and all, is expected from the !
opportunity of contemplating the edifying objects whereof the above-
named are a few out of many, which will be afforded next year to the
British Public by the liberality of the Holy Eather.
A REAL “SMACK ON THE KISSER.”
Bell’s Life passim.
Poor John C. Heenan seems destined to be unlucky. Neither
Mars nor Venus is, evidently, the star of his fortunes. _ A lady, with
the pretty name of Ada, claims in the first place to be his wife, aud in
the second place, to be released from matrimonial obligations. No
man is a hero to his valet de chambre, and it has been said that no man
is a hero to his wife. In J. C. H.’s case the malicious observation would
seem to be true. This is a sad facer for the American Champion, and
worse than the salutation by the left hand of Mr. Thomas Sayers, j
The least the fighting world can do is to take the belt out of the |
avuncular clutch, and send it over for Heenan’s consolation under
what the editor of the Life says is an ’arder hit than a brave man ought
to receive. j
