PUNCH, OP THE LONDON CHARIVAPI.
[September 6, 1873.
Impudent Boy (generally). “Try yer Weight—only a Penny!” (To Lady of commanding proportions in particular.) “’Tell yer
’xact Weight to a Hohnce, Mttm ! ”
CLERICAL PROGRESS.
Convocation will gain great credit in the view of sanitary
reformers if it is true that they contemplate a proceeding which
would be called for by the legislative adoption of a proposal which
has been put forward by high medical authority, and. is ably advo-
cated by Mrs. Crawshay, of Cyfarthfa, in the Home journal.
Under the title of “Graveyards and Cholera,” this lady adduces
very strong reasons for reverting to the ancient Roman practice of
interment after previous calcination. If report can he credited, the
Clerical Parliament, in its next Session, will take into consideration
the step of making the liturgical and other arrangements requisite
for carrying out this truly rational and philosophical idea. "When
it is considered how formidable an amount of popular prejudice and
bigotry will oppose itself to the reduction of the project above stated
to praetice2 and, furthermore, how greatly the Clergy are concerned,
as a pecuniary matter, in the maintenance of things as they are, in
regard to churchyards and sepulture, the enlightenment, liberality,
and disinterestedness of the Clerical body, as evinced, unless
Rumour prove fallacious, by their representatives in Convocation,
will be appreciated.
Hint to Henri.
Henri Cinq sticks to his rag—
’Tis a Royal resolution.
Why not, keeping the White Flag,
Take a Crown and Constitution ?
STOKERS IN THE FLOWERY LAND.
There is a project for a subscription for a complete Railway, to
he presented to the Emperor of China, to induce that Sovereign to
look with favour on the introduction of Railroads into his dominions.
The Emperor ought to have the fullest information on the subject
before he makes up his mind how to act in this matter. It might,
therefore, be advisable to send out with the Railway copies of the
London daily papers for the last two or three weeks, that His
Majesty may have translated to him the accounts of the accidents
which have lately been of almost daily occurrence. A summary,
too, should he given of the inquests held in London alone in the
course of a single year, over those who are killed by Railways,
either through their own fault or that of others ; and tables might
he added showing the hours, duties, and wages of the persons em-
ployed on the various lines. If a faithful representation could be
appended of a well filled third-class carriage on a dark winter’s
night, it might he of material service to the Emperor in helping
him to come to a decision.
Novel Speculation.
One of the last new Companies is the “Bank Top Spinning and
Manufacturing,” hut what Bank it is which is about to commence
business in opposition to Mr. Cremer and other great toymen,
we are not informed. We do not for a moment suppose it is the
Bank—the Bank of England. Kite-flying in the Money Market is
not an unusual phenomenon, hut this must be the first instance of
the introduction of top-spinning.
Mistaken Identity.
On this subject a valuable treatise, the lawyers say, has been
written by Mr. Moriarty. _ Of course the great Tichhorne case has
inspired the author, who might adapt the gladiators’ salutation for
the dedicatory page, and write “ Moriarty T salutat.”
THE MANIA OF THE DAY.
A REMARTfART.E movement has agitated the incurable patients at
Colney Hatch. They want to go in a body on a pilgrimage to
Holloway, and take Holloway’s Pills.
