PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHAPJVARI.

[April 15, 1882.

business_ has been a little slack, should. i
communicate at once. Managers in any
tinancial embarrassment would. also do well
to negotiate, as, when in the Provinces, a
judicious display of this noble creature in
the Treasury on Saturday has been known,
on more than one occasion, to reduce the
personal attendance for salary to that of
the Call Boy. As the purchase will in-
volve a first charge on the profits of any
performance of life annuities for the
widows and representatives of five Lion
Kings, no reasonable offer will be refused.
Travels easily in a double bathing-machine
under infiuence of Bromide of Potassium.
Would change for Imitation Jewellery.—
Apply by letter to — Tyko, Esq., The
Dens, Great Roring.

RARE PPiOFESSIONAL CHANCE.—
_A Dentist, who has been hitherto'
enjoying a large Practice, but who, owing
to an unfortunate dispute with his land-
lord, has suddenly been deprived of most
of his furniture and the whole of his in-
struments, wishes to Dispose of his Con-
nection as speedily as possible to an
enterprising successor. Nothing need be
required but energy and a pair of ordinary
carpenter’s pincers, and, as the business-
has long been conducted on sharing terms
with a local “ Toothache Tincture,” which
infallibly increases the malady, the takings
are considerable. Purchase-money would
include services of a Page, who is accus-
tomed to open door to patients and ad-
minister chloroform. N.JB.—When dose

has been tolerably stiff, can be relied on
also to manage extraction.—T. Keptch,.

The mhsic of the euture.

Unusual Bargain.—A splendid, nobly-
sized, Hungarian ORCHESTRIPHONI-
KON to be disposed of. This really fine
Instrument, possessing all the power and
producing more than the effect of a full
wind and string band of ninety performers,.
having been originally constructed, regard-
less of expense, at the direction of a refined
and luxurious Nobleman, who had the mis-
fortune to become totally deaf soon after
the realisation of his elegant hobby, and
having subsequently supplied the inci-
dental music, with surprising success, to-
a moving Panorama of the Siege of
Seringapatam,” may be safely entertained
by any purchaser wishing to provide him- |
self and his immediate neighbours with the •
complete effect of a permanent Promenade
Concert on the premises. As it was onee
a little damaged in a “ money-returned ”
riot, and has sinee played the Overture
to 7Villiam Tell, the ‘ ‘ Blue Bells of Scot-
land,” and a Selection from Norjna, on the
bass alone, omitting one note in three,
while the treble portion proceeds, in another
key, with a set of Yariations on the beautiful
airof “ Tom Bowling,” any ardent admirer
of Wagner would find in the performance
of this unique instrument an unfailing
source of satisfaction. Would make an
appropriate and handsome present to a
Musical Orphan Asylum in want of a ser-
viceable Washing-Machine. Has a spare
barrel set with the Overture to Zampa,
that has heen used for years as a garden-
roller. Would be changed for a Bushel
of Potatoes, or any suitable equivalent.—
Apply, Mozart, Blowers’ Buildings, E.C.

The Hotjse oe Commons.—This used to
be considered the best Club in London. It
is fast degenerating into a second-rate
Musie-hall,—only without the harmony.

CHANGE AND BARTER.

TO THEATE.ICAL MANAGERS.—A Grentleman of literary tastes having been pre-
sented some time since,_ by a sporting friend, with a promising Cub from North Africa,
and having, with a view to its utilisation for dramatic purposes, conceived and carried out
the idea of writing_ a_ Five-Act Tragedy in blank verse on the subject of “ Una and the
Lion,” would be willing, now that the creature has arrived at maturity, to part with it,
together with the MS.,_on very liberal terms. The play has been neatly and thoughtfully
constructed, so as to give the appearance of this really magnificent beast upon the stage its
fullest effect, and at a private rehearsal with a coal sack over its head, held only last week at
the Advertiser’s residence, its earnest and intelligent rendering of the business assigned
to it, afforded ample promise of the sensation it could not fail to create in a well-filled
Metropolitan t.heatre, from which, in conformity with the prevailing modern taste, the
intervening orchestra had been removed. Any leading West End house, of which the

Young Bride (to Visitor). “On ! ox our way to Paris I suefered so dreadfully on
I'HE Steamer that dear George promised me, the next time we went, he ’d take me
