PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
[November 24, 1866.
METEORS.
Uncle John proposed to Treat his Nephews to a grand Pyrotechnic Display, and takes down a choice Assortment,
BUT LIGHTING HIS ClGAR, THE YeSUVIAN DROPS AMONG THE COMBUSTIBLES, AND THE ABOVE MAGNIFICENT, BUT UNTIMELY, “ COUP DE
Fireworks” takes place on the top of the ’Bus. The Sensation was Tremendous !
RIGHT AND TITLE.
If a man thinks of a Name which he imagines will make a good title
for a Periodical or anything else, he can go in extreme secresy and
register it. He can then hold his tongue, and when the same idea
strikes anybody else, and the latter announces it, the first thinker can
burst forth upon him, and claim the invention. The only objection to
this is the secresy. An inventor should be obliged to insert his idea in
a register which should be regularly published. Then there would be
no quarrels oyer precedence, as there has been over the painfully feeble
title, Belgravia, which has just been fought about in Chancery, to the
great cost of two parties, and the benefit of neither.
Mr. Punch, whose gloriously lavish imagination is always overflowing
with new ideas, hereby registers the following titles, and dares anybody
to touch one of them without his august permission :—
The Dundreary. A Fashionable Magazine.
The Pillow. A Somniferous Magazine for Heading in Bed.
The Club -Window. A Scandalous Magazine.
Half Hours with the Worst Authors. An OUa Podrida.
While She Dresses. A Handbook for Patient Husbands.
Late, as usual. Tales for Wives who allow Latchkeys.
The Alcove. Reading for the Park.
The Shingles. A Magazine for the Sea-side.
Ducky diddles. A Handbook of Courtship.
The Little Stranger. A work for Sponsors.
My Learned Brothers. Stories for little Barristers waiting for Briefs.
The Private Box. Readings during the dull part of a Play.
Charing Cross. A Magazine for Charwomen.
Tart Sayings and Good Puffs. Por reading while at lunch at the
Pastrycook’s.
A Century of Bad Rhymes. Manual for Burlesque writers.
The Husbands of the Six Housemaids. Companion to “The Wives of
the Six Valleys.”
War to the Knife, or Why L hate Carving. Companion to “ Self-help.”
Papers from Pandemonium. [An eminent publisher announces the-
work which gave us this idea, but on the whole we had rather
not reprint Ms title, though he assures us that the Letters from
**** are sent up by a Clergyman.]
Arithmetic without Figures. Sequel to “ Astronomy without Mathe-
matics.”
A Voice from Great Snoring (Essex). Hints to bad Sleepers.
Why Peter Grievous wallopped his Children. Sequel to “ Why Paul
Ferroll murdered his wife.”
Now just touch any one of those titles, will you, and we ’ll speak to
Sir John Stuart, descendant of the royal house of that name, but an
awfully good fellow, notwithstanding.
Hint for a Happy Home
Somebody advertises a Shakspeare Paper Collar. We presume that
it bears an Avonian motto. Any lady who neglects her husband’s-
buttons will do well to buy for him a set of the new articles, inscribed
with the motto long ago glorified by Mr. Punch,
“ Stay, nay lord,
And let your reason with your Clioler question
A lady’s QUESTION.
An Advertisement in the Times announces “ The Lady’s Own-
Paper.” Is it tinted paper or curl paper ?
another royal author.
It is rumoured that the Ex-King of Naples has employed himself
in his retirement in writing a novel, to be called The Two Cicelys.
The Canterbury Pilgrim.—The Archbishop in Scotland.
“ Sound Investment.”—A Ritualist clergyman chaunting.
