One would suppose that, sitting down to write, CLARK RUSSELL had just come home from a long trip foreign, or at least lived his life somewhere within sight and sound of the sea. The pity of it is, my Baronite tells me, that this incomparable student of the sea, of ships that go down upon the waters, and of those who people them, lies at anchor on his sofa in an inland town. He has not looked upon the sea for a dozen years, nor smelt its brine, nor watched a ship coming or going. This makes the more marvellous the power of description of sea life in all its forms here displayed. Beyond this special gift, fascinating to some people, Mr. RUSSELL has a story to tell, a good stout sea story, full of life and adventure, through the devious movements of which we meet real men and one woman. Remembering that CLARK RUSSELL now ranks as a veteran novelist, it is pleasant to bear testimony to the fact that he seems to have saved his best wine to the last. _The Convict Ship_ is, take it from stem to stern, the best work he has yet turned out.

"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!

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.

"The Frank desires to mizzle, His Panama's a fizzle. BULL, in his land of drizzle, Is jealous as cm be, O! But merry may our Kiel grow, &c."

Mr. F. J. HORNIMAN, F.R.G.S., tea-merchant, has accepted the invitation to oppose Mr. CAVENDISH BENTINCK, Conservative M.P., for the united borough of Penryn, Flushing, and Falmouth. It is anticipated, says the _Western Daily Mercury_, that he will make a good candidate. Certainly he ought to be able to suit the constituency to a T, unless it continues faithful to its CAVENDISH, in which case his candidature will end in smoke. Mr. HORNIMAN, no doubt, hopes for an early general election, because the longer he stands the greater prospect of his getting what schoolboys call a "tannin'."

CHATS WITH THE CHILDREN.

A COMIC RAILWAY JOURNEY.

_Miss Prunes-Prism._ And now, my dear charges, I trust you have utilised the hour that has been hypothecated to enjoyment profitably.

_Emily._ Indeed we have, dear governess. I have read to my brother and sister a most amusing account of a railway traveller who wished to get from Bangor to Euston in five hours, and was baffled in the well-intentioned attempt by the clever ingenuity of the railway companies!

_Miss Prunes-Prism._ You refer, no doubt, to the gentleman who, having left Bangor at 7.55, reached Llandudno at 8.5, Colwyn Bay at 8.41, Abergele at 8.52, Rhyl at 9.2, and Chester at 9.56.

_Margaret._ Yes, dear Miss PRUNES-PRISM; and it is at that point the fun of the railway companies came in. Having arrived at 9.56 he found that the train for London had already left. It was timed to depart for the metropolis exactly one minute before the arrival of his train at 9.55!

_Emily._ Indeed, dear governess, the story is vastly entertaining. Then there is a similar arrangement at Crewe Junction. At that centre of popularity a train arrives from a provincial source at 10.48, just one minute later than the advertised time for the departure of the London train. Those who have the framing of these traffic arrangements must be wags of the first water!

_Miss Prunes-Prism._ No doubt they are. And now, my dear CHARLES, supposing your dear papa wished to get from Bangor to Euston, what would you advise him to do?

_Charles._ I should recommend him to walk.

_Miss Prunes-Prism._ I think, my dear child, that your counsel would be sound. And now, my dear charges, having enjoyed our chat, let us return with renewed energy to the consideration of the principal incidents of _Magna Charta_.

ENCORE VERSE.

(_See Song, "The Two Graces," in last week's "Punch."_)

[In the first innings of the Jubilee Match, "I Zingari _versus_ Gentlemen of England," W. G. GRACE, Sen., scored 34, and W. G. GRACE, Jun., 79].

Says the young W. G. to the old W. G., "Seventy-nine, my potent pater, Seventy-nine!" Says the old W. G. to the young W. G., "That beats mine, sonny WILLIAM, that beats mine! A. G. STEEL does little cricket, but he made hay of my wicket; _How_ we used to run the score up, he and I, long ago! But I told you you would do it, if you only dared stick _to_ it; And we _know_, we old 'uns, WILLIAM; yes, _we_ know!"

There has been much excitement in Sheffield about the School Board. The unsectarian party had a chance of converting a minority of one into a majority of the same extent, owing to the retirement of one Church member, and the serious illness of another, Father BURKE, who was thereby prevented from attending the Board meeting for the election of a new member. Mr. CHARLES HOBSON, however, refused to take advantage of an accident to reverse for the next two years and a half the policy of the Board laid down by a majority of the ratepayers, and chose what he considered the better part of pairing with Father BURKE. Therefore was the chairman enabled to give a casting vote in favour of the Church candidate. But "Hobson's Choice" has not pleased his candid friends, who think, and say, that it is "not war," nor even magnificent. The blades must needs keep up the credit of their native place by making cutting remarks. They come from Sheffield.

* * * * *

Who Threw It?

Joy in the Church, confusion in the chapel, And contradictory clamour everywhere! It may be questioned if the Eris-apple Gendered more strife than "Mr. GLADSTONE'S Pair."
