"_Voici votre chapeau à cornes! Venez le prendre!_" The inscription is, by flux of time and sea-water, almost, if not quite, illegible. * * * Or it may mark the spot, banned and anathematised, where was buried, according to the awfully solemn Masonic ritual, _the mangled remains of The Man who couldn't keep a secret!!_ * * * * * ANGLING EXTRAORDINARY. From _The Scotsman_, Saturday, September 21, under the heading "Angling," appears this item of news from "Annan," placed between fishing notes from "Loch Earn" and "Dhu Loch":-- LOCH EARN.--Mr. WATSON, fishing on Lochearnhead Hotel water yesterday, killed thirty-two nice trout. ANNAN.--There were large supplies of all classes of stock. Best beef made 7_s._ 6_d._ to 7_s._ 9_d._ per stone, and mutton 7_d._ to 7-1/2_d._ per lb. There was a crowded attendance of buyers from England and the South of Scotland, and the demand was good all through. Store cattle had a slow trade, and were bad to sell. Quotations:--Fat bullocks up to £15 17_s._ 6_d._; do. heifers up to £15 7_s._ 6_d._; do. cows up to £13 17_s._ 6_d._; calving heifers £12 12_s._ 6_d._ Lambs, 16_s._ to 29_s._ 3_d._; odd sheep, 33_s._ to 49_s._; rams, 43_s._ 6_d._; half-bred hoggs, 41_s._ 6_d._ to 44_s._; cross do., 37_s._ to 41_s._ 9_d._; Cheviots, 38_s._ 9_d._ to 41_s._ _9d._ DHU LOCH.--On September 18, Mr. KYNASTON had fourteen fish, 4-1/2 lb., heaviest 3/8 lb.; and on 19th, nine, 4 lb., heaviest 1 lb. "Fat bullocks up to £15 17_s._ 6_d._" would try the strongest tackle. Splendid specimen of "Net Profits." * * * * * THE PUTNEY SPOOK.--Within the last week, so reported one of the Day-by-Days in the _Daily Telegraph_, a ghost has been heard of at Putney. Hundreds of _Hamlets_, _Marcelluses_, and _Barnardos_ (with _Ophelias_, and other ladies) have gone out of their way nightly to see the ghost. What should a riverside ghost be like? Obviously the "main-sheet" from a sailing-boat is ready to hand, and for its head, at any neighbouring boat-house, there is quite a choice of "sculls." If any hair, there are the "row-locks." The ghost must not, in our opinion, be expected anywhere with or against the stream, but in some "dead-water." "Will the ghost walk to-night?" is now the Shakspearian inquiry; to which the reply is, "Go to Putney!" * * * * * ANGELICAL!--Herr ANGELI, the Austrian portrait-painter, whose name, as a "noun of multitude," suggests "several ANGELOS rolled into one," is now the QUEEN'S painter _par excellence_. Consequently he should be known in England as "_Her_ ANGELI." May all good ANGELI guard Her Gracious MAJESTY! Still, clever as Brother BRUSH may be, it will take a lot of "ANGELI" to equal one "ANGELO," which his Christian name was "MICHAEL."
