PUNCH. OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. [October 26, 1867.
A WOMAN-HATER.
Spiteful Old Party (who is tarring the Stays of the Flagstaff). “Striped Gownds seem all the 4 Go’ with ’em, eh? (Chuckles.)
I ’ll Stripe ’em ! Put a extra Streak o’ Ile in, o’ Purpose—won’t Dry for a Month ! Come Lollopin’ about here with
THEIR CrIN’LYNES AN’ Tr’iNES, THEY MUST TAKE THE CONSEKENSES ! ! ”
A WORD WITH THE PREMIER. TRULY'? ALARMING SACRIFICE!
Come, we say, Lord Derby, you don’t need to be told that we like
ever so many things about you, such as your open-handedness, and
your oratory, and your Homer, and your pluck; but, confound it,
Edward Geoffrey Smith-Stanley, we don’t like your humbug.
Now then, you need not look at us in that manner, as if all the blood
of all the Stanleys since Joan were a-fire. We defy as much as we
admire you. Yes, laughing is better, but we don’t know that we are
going to laugh with you yet. What do you mean by telling two
stories at the Manchester bauquet, the other night? Two—yes, two,
and in the Free Trade Hall too, which has been consecrated by
the performances of Mr. Punch's young men. You spoke up for
your Reform Act, and declared that such was your confidence in the
goodness and virtue of the working-men (or “wage-paid men” as you
called them) that you were sure that the enormous trust that had been
placed in them would be vindicated. Yery well. A good many people
believe this. But then you went on to inform these very working-
men, first that they hearkened to the voice of contemptible leaders,
and secondly that they shamefully submitted to a tyranny under which
they groaned. Yery well. A good many persons believe this. But,
Edward Geoffrey, if you will allow us to quote another translator,
‘' Had you a thousand mouths, a thousand tongues,
And throats of brass inspired by iron lungs,’
Mr. Whalley cannot be accustomed regularly to read the Tablet.
If he were, surely we, or some one or other of our Protestant contem-
poraries, should have heard something from the honourable Member
for Peterborough about the following statement which has actually
appeared in that, journal:—
“ Another English Zouave has been offered to the Pope recently by the zealous
exertions of the Countess de Sommery, and several pious persons of the Congre-
gation of St. John’s Church, Bath.”
Another English Zouave offered to the Pope ! Then at least one
English Zouave must have been offered before. Gracious goodness !
How many English Zouaves must the Pope have had offered to him?
Who can tell ? How were those English Zouaves offered to the Pope ?
As burnt-offerings ? Imagine holocausts of English Zouaves, sacri-
ficed to the Pope ! Was their sacrifice an auto da fe got up by the
Countess de Sommery and her accomplices ? Or were the English
Zouaves not heretics roasted against their will, but lanatical and self-
devoted papists ? On either supposition their immolation must have
taken place in seeresy, of course within the walls of a convent. Surely,
then, here is another reason why the Legislature should lose no time
in providing for the thorough inspection of all monastic establishments.
Such is the tenor of a communication which we wonder that we have
not had from Mr. Whalley.
you could not fuse these two opposite statements into one argument
that should prove to Mr. Punch that you passed your Reform Act for
any other than a party purpose. What’s the good of humbugging ?
Receive the assurance of our profound respect.
Coming- Changes.
One result of the Reform Bill, some old women seem to fancy, will
be that the East End will be the fashionable quarter, and the dwellers
near May Fair will be popularly talked of as the “ Lower Ten
Thousand.”
The Ring and its Friends.
Whether barney or funks
Put the “ patrons ” in sulks.
We rejoice that the Skunks
Have been done by the Skulks.
Theatrical.—Miss Menken is to re-appear as Mazeppa. Play'
goers are startled by the bare announcement.
