_Obliging Country Butcher_. "LET ME CUT IT INTO CUTLETS FOR YOU,
MA'AM,--LEAVING JUST ENOUGH BONE FOR YOU TO HOLD 'EM BY, WHILE YOU'RE
EATING 'EM!"]

NOT GOING AWAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
_Cookson Gaze, Q.C._ Because MARIA votes Eastbourne vulgar, and the
girls (sorry now I sent them to that finishing-school at Clapham)
laugh so consumedly whenever I open my mouth to address a native if we
go to Trouville or Dinard.
_C. Jumper_. Because the Governor thinks three days in the year enough
for anybody.
_Eastend Dr._ Because that fiver will just give little SALLY the
breath of sea-air she wants, and she'll never make a good cure unless
she has it.
_Reg. Rake_. Because wife says she shall certainly accompany me.
_Barmaid_. Because I've just been ill for a fortnight from overwork,
and the Company say they can't give any more leave.
_Eastend Clergyman_ (_of any church._) Because there are hundreds who
want it more than I do, and I must help them to get a change first.
_Major Hornblower_. Because MACCRACSHOTT (the only man who has asked
me) was in the smoking-room the night I was fool enough to tell that
Snipe and Rhinoceros Story of PEYTON's in the first person.
_Quiverful_. Because there's another pair.

MUSICAL NOTES.
_Popping a Question._--The _Daily News_, in its last week's "Music and
Musicians," informs us that "Mr. CHAPPELL has now definitely decided
that the season of Monday Popular Concerts shall this year commence
on a Tuesday." Sure then it must be Mister O'CHAPPELL, the CHAPPELL
by the hill-side, who arranges to have his first "Monday Pop" on a
Tuesday? If he be going out shooting on his own native heath, his name
O'CHAPPELL, then there's no reason why he shouldn't have his first pop
on a Tuesday, only it couldn't be his Monday Pop, could it now? Or if
he drinks _Mr. P.'s_ health in Pommery '80 (_grand vin!_), or let's
say Poppery '80, he could do so on a Tuesday, only it would no longer
be the "Monday Pop." That's all. Sure 'tis mighty confusing and upsets
the week entirely. If Tuesday is to have all the Pop, what's to become
of Monday? For further particulars inquire at the Pop-shop, Bond
Street.
The next great Musical Event is at the Gloucester Festival--it is
Dr. HUBERT PARRY "on the Job." This, though the work of a thoroughly
English Composer, may yet be considered as an "_Article de Parry_."
