PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
[October 18, 1862,
CUB-HUNTING.
Wilkinson wonders why the Dooce they can’t go out in the Middle of the Day.
HARBEN’S LOVE SONG.
Air—“ Kathleen Mctvourneen.”
Zostera Marina, grim Manchester’s shaking,
One half of her steam-engines silent and still.
No Cotton’s at hand, and we ’re all in a taking
To know where to turn for new grist for the Mill.
It seems to myself that the notion was clever,
(It came as I wandered by ocean, apart)
Thy fibre to take, and to make (he endeavour
To give drooping labour another fresh start.
Zostera Marina, though Manchester slumbers,
And sneers apathetic my labours requite,
I’m happy to know that inventors in numbers
Believe that my notion’s substantially right.
So, Zostera Marina, though wise folks are calling
My project a thing that can never succeed,
He ’ll never climb high who’s too frightened of falling :
The proof of the pudding’s in eating, my Weed,
THE PURIFICATION OF PARIS.
The Paris correspondent of the Times writes word that:—
“ A new system for laying the dust without watering the carriage-way has been
for some time in operation in the Avenue des Champs Elysges. It consists of
sprinkling the road with chloride of lime, which, being remarkable for its power of
absorbing moisture, soon becomes damp and thereby prevents any dust from rising
even in the hottest day.”
Whether this plan will answer or no remains for a drier season than
the past to decide; but if it succeeds in laying the dust, let us hope it
will be introduced throughout Paris. Chloride of lime has, besides the
property of absorbing moisture, that of destroying unpleasant odours ;
and in sprinkling it about the French capital to lay the dust the
scavenger will, as it were, kill two birds with one stone.
CARNAL CARNEY.
Our devout friend the Earthen Wessel has a delightfully unctuous
paragraph on its esteemed cover :—
PLUMBING, PAINTING, PAPER-HANGING, &c.
and G. PUTTY, Plumbers (whose principles accord with this
• Magazine), have commenced Business in the above Line, beg the favour and
support of Friends who wish for the prosperity of the Household of Faith, and also
solicit their recommendation, assuring them that the utmost reliance maybe placed
in them, both as to material and workmanship, being practical and experienced
workmen.
Certainly, when one thinks of it, one feels the importance of knowing
what magazine is approved by the man who comes in to mend one’s
water-pipes, though we think that we could easily indicate the magazine
most likely to be sought by a plumber, whose business is with lead.
But any worldly caviller at the above announcement, who, in bis carnal
wisdom may call it unmitigated and profane cant, bad better shut his
“ onrighteous ” mouth. The sarcasm, scarcely concealed, redeems the
apparent blarney. Household of Faith, indeed ! It must be a house-
hold of faith of the most absolute description, faith connate with fatuity,
that could be attracted by such a bait—that could be lubricated by such
greasiness. We only hope that the advertisers do not mend the pipes
with such exceeding soft solder as they apply to the public, or the
Household of Faith may suffer by the New River Works.
Charade.
BY AN UNEDUCATED BUT INDIGNANT COUNTRY VISITOR TO THE INTERNATIONAL.
What Veillard proved be could not do,
What Morrish sells uncommon tough,
Make up a Station where a crew
Of railway coves use people rough. Cateruam.
Theatrical Inquiry.— Question for Lord Llanover. Has Miss Jones
a right to call herself Miss Herbert ?
