PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
BOW-WOW v. BOW-WOW.
When a Statesman’s bounceably benignant,
When an Interest’s furiously indignant.
When a Statesman’s pigment proves all inky,
When the Interest’s rose-pink looks too pinky ;
When the Statesman as an Ajax poses ;
When the Interest swears its realm’s all roses :
When the latter vows that interference,
Of its rights will make a general clearance,
Send the country straightway to the dickens ;—
Then that country of such nonsense sickens,
Knows the Statesman deals in Big Bow-Wow,
Knows the Interest’s calculated row
I3 half hollow bunkum, and decides
A sharp eye to keep both sides.
Summary of the GOVERNMENT Policy in Egypt (a Suggestion
from the Opposition Benches).—“ Small profits and quick returns .' ”
“ COME UNTO THESE YELLOW SANDS ! ”
Yes. we shall all have to come unto them, since an American,
Mr. Webb-Barber, has discovered a new cure for indigestion. He
prescribes a certain amount of sand to be taken with every meal.
Each portion of food is to he taken, not only cum, grano salts, but
with a grain of sand as well. Sandwiches will doubtless form the
most popular item of light refreshment, and anything that’s sandy,
or that happens to be grituitous will be eagerly devoured. Judges,
Senators, Storekeepers, Colonels, Carpet-baggers, and Ink-slingers
have all tried the new cure, and from being helpless hypochondriacs
they have become as jolly as Sandboys. A Company has been
formed for the purchase of Ramsgate Sands, and the inventor is
coming to England, where a number of grateful dyspeptics are going
to have Ms portrait painted by Mr. Frederic Sandys.
Unparliamentary Language.-—In the House of Commons a
“ four-lined Whip” is now called a “ Cat 0’ Four Tails.”
BRAVE SOLDIER BOYS!
“ Many of the Troops that fought so well at El Teb were raw recruits.”—Daily Paper. (F.M. Punch's Tribute to the Ju.viOR United, Service.)
