LOOKING AHEAD.
Miss Golightly (the Friend of the Family, and to whom Sir Percy has proposed). "Of course I'm Awfully obliged, Sir Pekcy—but, say
now, don't you think there would be some dakger of my Falling in Loye with your Eldest Son?"
" Humph ! Regular take-down ! " said Big Mr. Bull—
Heigho for Bowing !
" But, Froggie or not, by the lord you can pull,
With your much-decried ' hang,'—'twas all gammon and
spinach! Heigho for British Rowing ! "
" Ha ! Ha! " cried the Frog,/1 the old fable, thought true "—
Heigho for Rowing !
" Is out of date now. I'm as bier, Bull, as you,
As an oarsman, which is not all gammon and spinach ! "
Heigho for British Rowing.
So that in the end (for the present), you see,
Heigho for Rowing!
Of the race between Big Bull and Little Froggie.
Bull's fame, in a boat, seems all gammon and spinach.
Heigho for British Rowing !
Mr. Chauncey Depew, the well-known American lawyer, won-
ders why on earth the British Government has not long ago given
Home Rule to Ireland. He encourages Mr. Gk's Ministry to do their
best in this direction, and chaunce-y it. We 're always delighted to
welcome Mr. Chauncey Depew in Ens-land, so let him come over
with a Depewtation to Mr. O. on the subject.
Equestrian Fruit.—At the Horticultural Show the Baroness
Bordett-Coutts exhibited a " Cob of Adam's Early Maize." No
particulars are given. Was it 14'1 and a weight- carrier ? Being
Adam's, it must be about the oldest in the world. "Maize" may
be a misprint for " Mews." Next time the Baroness must send a
pear.
Probable Deduction.—A pertinacious Salvation Army Captain
was worrying a Scotch farmer, whom he had met in the train,
with perpetual inquiries as to whether "he had been born again of
Water and the Spirit?" At last, McSandy replied, "Aweel, I
dinna reetly ken how that may be, but my good old feyther and
mither took their toddy releegiously every nicht, the noo."
THE AUSTRO-GERMAN OFFICER'S YADE-MECUM.
Q. Youhave heard of the Ride from Berlin to Yienna, and vice versa?
A. Yes ; and of the mishaps that befell many of the competitors.
Q. You mean their horses ?
A. What applies to the one applies to the other.
Q. Some of the poor steeds died on the journey ?
A. I daresay—of course, it was hard work.
Q. And you have read that, even when the poor horses were
fainting and refusing food, the riders still went on ?
A. Of course. The riders had magnificent pluck and nerve.
Q. What, to observe the anguish of their chargers without emotion ?
A. No! The idea! I mean they had pluck and nerve in spite
of all discouragement to push on to the winning-post.
Q. And what do you think this breaking down of the horses proved ?
A. That, after all, the creatures were brutes—only brutes !
Q. Does not the suffering of these brutes suggest-
A. That the riders were brutes too ?—Ah!
[No further question put, the Answerer having mastered the subject.
In Excelsis.—No better example of the methods employed by
Yivisectionists could be given than was presented at the Church
Congress last week, where in debate on this subject they were all
engaged in cutting up one another. The Bishop of Edinburgh,
denouncing the morality of the Bishop of Manchester and of
Bishop Barry, was a rare sight. His Lordship said that the mora-
lity of these two Bishops was " up in a balloon." Well, surely this
is morality of the most elevated description. These Bishops are not
" in partibus," but in nubibus.
In Water Colours.—The East London Waterworks Company
had a very successful meeting the other day. Inter alia the Chair-
man said, that "the Waltham Well is a complete success." Ergo let
Well alone. That from this source they still supplied '' 36 gallons
per head." The heads must be uncommonly hard to stand all this
water on the brain. A dividend of eight per cent, is, after all, a
very pleasant draught.
