AN INCIDENT OF THE PANIC.
Banker’s Clerk (to Country Cousin frightened by the “ Bears," and who has ccnne to draw out his deposit). “ How will you take it ? ”
Country Cousin (who doesn't quite understand). “Oh, I- I’ll take it in my Pocket-Handkerchief ! ”
USURERS AND YOUNG OEFICERS.
Sir,
As no doubt but what you’ve got the ighest influence of
enybody at Ed Quarters, perhaps you’d have the kindness to exert
the same for to get the authorities there to cancel a certain unpleasant
arrangement, as they have just been and made. That thriving paper the
Sunday Gazette bays :—
“ We are glad to learn that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has
made a rule under -which the proceeds of the commissions of officers selling out
while under age are to be handed over to their parents and guardians, and not to
themselves.”
Now, Sir, this here arbitrairv hedict, or whatever you like to call it,
will act, and was meant to, as a hinterference with business, as fully
appears from the following explanetary but uncalled for remark on the
above statement:—
“ This regulation will have a good effect in checking the evils inflicted on youths
in the army by money-lenders and other social pests of a similar description.”
Has to callin money-lenders social pestes, that there is all wirtuous
hindignation and sentimental inweetive. We ain’t social pestes no more
than attorneys is, which takes up the case of eny client as comes, and
barristers as accepts whatsoever brief as is offerd ’em, axin no questions,
and doos the best they can for the cause they ’re ingaged for, no matter
who’s robbed or ruined. Why step between we and our beauty any
more than between them and theirn?
In course there’s no deeliu for us with eny old sojer. We can’t do
nothin except with the infants, weather of infantry or cavaltry ridg-
ments. Your Honour would do a grate faver if you would present his
Royal Highness with the humble petition of
Your wery humble Servant,
Accommodation Bill.
Parochial Intelligence.—There is a rumour that Mr. Smith’s
child has been baptised, but it wants confirmation.
THE SALUBRITY OF GAS-WORKS.
The subjoined newspaper paragraph deserves the attention of Par-
liament : —
“Hospital for Diseases of the Chest, Victoria Park.—The number of
patients relieved at this institution during last week was 1509, of which 300 were
new cases.”
Tar-water was once in high repute as a remedy for diseases of the
chest. Among the residual products of gas-manufacture there is much
tar. The emanations of tar probably have the same effect on the
human system as that of tar-water. These considerations will perhaps
be urged by the Gas Companies as reasons why Parliament should allow
them to erect additional Gas-works near Yictoria Park. No doubt the
more Gas-works there are established in that neighbourhood, the greater
will be the number of patients sent to the Hospital for Diseases of the
Chest there. Only the increase will be derived from the neighbourhood.
Marvellous.
We do not believe in Spiritualism or Magic, (except sleight of hand
and so forth), but what are we to say to a fact such as this P—

Transformation extraordinary! Further evidence will shortly be
