"N.B."--Glasgow will have to look after its parks. Here is the Town Council actually dreaming of "feuing" some of "the recently-acquired Camphill grounds" for building purposes! These grounds belong to the people, and adjoin the South Side Park, and "the amenity of that park would be destroyed" by building operations. One protester says South Side Park is the prettiest in Glasgow, and "more like the London parks, which I regard as the finest in the kingdom." Thanks, worthy Scot! The view of it, "as seen through the railings in the Pollokshaws Road," reminds him of "the fine view of Hyde Park which is to be had through the railing in that busy and lovely thoroughfare--Oxford Street." Thanks again, thrice worthy Pict! But Oxford Street a "lovely thoroughfare"--well! At any rate, the Glasgow Bailies when next they are disposed to "feu," should think of the "Many" instead. * * * * * RHYME FOR RECORD-MAKERS. Rattle-it, rattle-it, "Biking" man; Make us a "record" as fast as you can; Score it, and print it as large as life, And someone will "cut" it ere you can say knife! * * * * * GERMANY AND FRANCE AT THE THEATRES.--Capital fun at DRURIOLANUS'S Drury Lane, by the Ducal Court Company. Farcical Comedy, HASEMANN'S _Töchter_, played by the Ducal Creatures. How we have been going it in the theatrical world! SARA in French! DUSE in Italian! and now the clever people of Saxe-Coburg-and-Gotha ("You'll Go-tha and see 'em!") to finish with. By the way, SARA not to be beaten by anybody as _La Tosca_. Fascinating and terrible as ever. In the knife, corpse, and candle scene, awful. Fine play, but--"Horrible! Most horrible!" Quite comforting, when curtain descends on that Act, to remember that "it's only purtendin'." * * * * * A singular entry was on Tuesday, June 18, made in Mr. INGLEFIELD'S visitors' (House of Commons) book. "Mr. DISRAELI--Mr. GLADSTONE." It was Mr. C. DISRAELI introducing as a visitor _a_ Mr. GLADSTONE of Liverpool. A very "singular entry" indeed, had it been the ghost of Big Ben himself! * * * * * DR. W. GRACE'S FAVOURITE DISH.--"Batter pudding." * * * * * [Illustration: "A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE," &c. _Sissy._ "MAMMA, DOES _DEMI-TOILETTE_ MEAN _HALF-DRESSED_, LIKE MRS. ROBINS IS WHEN SHE COMES HERE TO DINNER?"] * * * * * MERRY MAY OUR KIEL GROW! (BY A WEE GERMAN LADDIE). AIR--"_The Keel Row!_" As I sailed through the Baltic, The Baltic, the Baltic, As I sailed through the Baltic, I heard a German sing, O! "Merry may our Kiel grow, Our Kiel grow, our Kiel grow, With ships from sea to sea, O! "The Vaterland reposes, As though on beds of roses, Whilst we hold up our noses, Among the Naval Powers, O! Merry may our Kiel grow, &c.
