GAME FROM THE HIGHLANDS.--A "Scotch Golfer of Twenty Years' Standing" (poor man! he certainly ought to be invited to take the chair at any Golf meeting!) writes to the _Liverpool Daily Post_ complaining that novices in England will persist in sounding the letter "l" in the title of the sport, "although on every green from John o' Groats to Airlie it remains silent in the mouth of player and caddie alike." As the Golfer "puts" it, the name should be "goff," or even "gowf." As long as there is plenty of acreage for the game, an "_ell_" is not worth mentioning. * * * * * MUSICAL NOTE of "Herr WILLY BURMESTER"--or "Our" WILLY. "Bless you!" as the old salt said; "he fiddles like a angel!" Of course, like all violinists, the hair of his head is peculiar, but his airs on his violin are marvellous in execution. * * * * * UNIVERSITY PRIVILEGE NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.--When a resident Oxonion is suffering from a bronchial attack he is entitled to the professional attendance (gratis) of "The Curators of the Chest." * * * * * EXTRA-ORDINARY SELF-ANNIHILATING CANNIBALS.--Children, when they over-eat themselves. * * * * * THE WAIL OF THE WALWORTH WOTER. ["Many of our men have certainly been got at."--_Walworth Liberal Agent._] "Got at," my boy? Well, that's a fack; Yet not by LANSBURY, READE, or BAILEY. But by the burdens on our back, As seem a-gettin' heavier daily. Trade's bloomin' bad, and rents is high; Yet more and more the Guv'ment axes. Progress, old man, is all my heye,-- As means raised rents, and rates, and taxes. School Boards, Free Liberies, an' such, With County Council schemes, _look_ proper; When they _too_ 'ard poor pockets touch On them the poor _must_ put a stopper. Fust we 'ave got to live, I say; To pay our way, and grub our young 'uns. Will Rads make that more easier, hay, Than wot you call "Bible and Bung'uns"? By Jingo, if you want our wotes, You'll git 'em, not by playing peeper, Or wetoing beer from our poor throats; But--making life easier and cheaper! _Got at?_ Wy, yus, by want o' grub, And rents an' taxes too extensive; And so we'll weto--_not_ the Pub, _But "Progress" wot comes too expensive!_ * * * * * PARTIES IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.--Besides the usual number of parties, there will always be, during the fine summer weather, Tea-parties. * * * * * CONTRADICTION.--Tremendous "Crushing Reports" come in from the mines, and, in spite of this, mining shares are better than ever. * * * * * [Illustration: HERCULES AND OMPHALE; OR, PETTICOAT GOVERNMENT.
