PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVAKL [Afril 29, i8»a.

A DIFFICULT CASE.

Deae Doctok Ponch,

I haye written to the
Lancet, but it ’s no good.
They won’t take any notice
of me. Some nonsense about
“medical etiquette,” I dare-
say. Uow look here. This is
my case. I have a terrible
toothache, and take plenty of
port wine. My toothache is
cured, but I get racking pains
in the head. I cure this by
sal volatile, which, however,
brings on indigestion, and
gives me fearful agony in the
chest. For this I take a pint
of ohampagne, which at once
relieves me, but brings on a
sharp attack of the gout in my
left foot. I take a dose of
colchicum, I drink nothing
but lemon and potass,—my
system becomes iowered. I
again take cold. The same
programme is gone through.
Toothache, port wine, head-
ache, sal volatile, indigestion,
champagne, gout, colchicum,
eartarrh, toothache. All day
long I am running through a
gamut of pains, from tooth-
ache to toothache. I think
I ’d better stick to my ori-
ginal toothache, and save my
money. I know what you’Il
recommend. But I ’ve tried
punch. Hot, strong, and
sweet, and plenty of it. It
made me feel as if my back-
bone was in Fiemish knots,
my fingers in ringlets, and
my hair effervescing. That
won’t do.

Hvp. O'Chondriac.

THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY,

Latest from the East.—
Discord at Cairo, probably
consequent on the departure
of Dr. Arthhr Sullivan for
England.

As Corry O’Lanus begging the Soffrages of ihe Citizens.

“ I will, Sir, flatter my sworn brother, the people, to earn a dearer estima-
tion ofthem.” * * * (Adds, as a Bright idea.) “I will counterfeit the

bewitchment of some popular man, and give it bountifully to the desirers. ”—
Act II., Sc. 3.

SPIRITS AND WATER.

If we said the Water Colour
Society this year showed un-
usual spirit we should not be
far wrong, but then perhaps
we might get the Society into
trouble for opening its doors
without a spirit licence. Not
bemg of a pugnacious dispo-
sition, we have no desire to
pick a quarrel with aquarel-
Listes, therefore, we will simply
say that this year’s show is
better than usual. Gforious.
Sir John Gtlbert; “ Our ”
Mr. Du Maurier, distinctly
and poeticaUy Londonesque-
Mr. Herbert Marshall, Mr.
Carl Haag, Mr. Bkierly,
Mr. Alfred Kewton, “ salt ”
and breezv Mr. Henry
Moore, Mr. Birkett Foster,
and Mr. Basil Bradley, weli
supported by other exhibitors,
combine to make the walls of
this gaUery especially attrac-
tive. The new illustrated
catalogue is a feature that
cannot fail to be extensively
appreciated.

TALES OF THE ALHAMBRA.

The dish now served up in the Leicester Square Theatre of Yarie-
ties is Bubble and Squeak—no, we should say Babil and Bijou, sauce
Ilollandaise, which is better than a French source, though Mr.
Holland, the People’s Caterer, is only responsible for the “ trim-
mings,” the materials having been originally supplied by the present
Mr. Boucicault and the late Mr. Planche.

The music throughout is charming,

specially the
pieces

The Lost Regalia.

concerted
Whether
originator,
composer, or
musical stage-
manager, M. Ja-
cobi is entitled to
the highest praise.
The great merit
of Babil and Bi-
jou is that, come
^ in when you will
during any one
of the four Acts,
there is always
something worth
seeing and music
worth hearmg.

Mr. Harry Paulton, the Ul-used Comedian, who q^Lways wears an
air of hopeless suffering, gets more laughter out of Bis part than he
does in it; _as we presume _the series of lectures on the tableaux
vivants are his own. His topical song is a good specimen of its class,
and has about eight encore verses which much delight his audience.

There are no eleverer dancers than Mlles. Pertoldi and Palla-
dino. Where do all the showy girls come from that are now to be
seen at every
theatre where
there is a musical
piece, whether
burlesque, opera-
bouffe, or comic
opera ? Are bal-
let - girls born,
like poets, and not
made ? But so
many of them Native Talent.

sing, too—at all

events, like Box, in Box and Cox, they sometimes “join in a
chorus,” and are frequently called upon to “give us a chorus,”
which they do very well.

As a spectacle it is unsurpassed by any previous produetion at the
Alhambra. The seenery is quite the best they have ever had.

Babil and Bijou is just one of those pieces which, were it care-
fully renovated from time to time, fitted up with an occasional new
Act, fresh music, novel ballets, and with one_ Act devoted to comic-
scenes full of such business as the Martinettis supply, and of inge-
nious mechanical pantomimic tricks, might run for years like the
Pied a Mouton, which began some thirty years or so ago, and is as-
lively as ever. There is nothing of this sort in London ; and the
Aihambra has got all the appliances and means to boot. But the
Management must not forget that however attractive lovely scenery,
pretty faces, splendid dresses, and first-class dancing and singing
may be, the public likes to laugh ; and if there is not plenty to
laugh at, the popularity of any spectacle cannot be ionglived. How,
