DINNER SCARCELY À LA ROOSE.--Dear _Mr. Punch_,--I am a poor man, but I like a nice dinner. Now I have discovered how to enjoy a good meal, and yet keep the cost of living within reasonable limits. Here is my method. I order and eat, a lobster, two pounds of pork chops, a large-sized pot of _pâté de foies gras_, a dressed crab, and three plates of toasted cheese. Having finished this dainty little dinner, I find that I can eat nothing more for at least a week! That the pleasing fare does not make me ill, is proved by my friends declaring that I look like a picture of health. They do not say whether the picture is a good or bad one--but that is a matter of detail. Yours sincerely, THE FOUNDER OF THE MORE-THAN-ENOUGH SOCIETY. * * * * * UTOPIAN.--Neither noise, vibration, nor dust! That's what the BRAMWELLS, the WATKINS, and the GALTONS claim for that partly-developed but promising--much promising--invention of M. GIRARD'S, the _Chemin de Fer Glissant_, or Sliding Railway. _What_ a happy ideal! By all means, "Let it slide!" * * * * * A CHANCE FOR A NEW MEMBER.--"Rookeries," said Mr. HENRY LAZARUS in his evidence at Marylebone, "abound in St. Pancras, and it is a scandal to civilisation that they should continue to exist." Now, Mr. BOLTON, M.P., can't you have your legal and parliamentary finger in this Rook pie? * * * * * [Illustration] NOTICE.--Rejected Communications or Contributions, whether MS., Printed Matter, Drawings, or Pictures of any description, will in no case be returned, not even when accompanied by a Stamped and Addressed Envelope, Cover, or Wrapper.
