it hollow by burning and scraping it with sharp stones." We thus perceive the significance of the apothegm, "Truth is stranger than fiction." The day is not far distant when children will think as much of the new literature as they formerly did of certain worm-lozenges, for which they were said to "cry." And where everything has been inspired by
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042501
the love of Truth, even the cuts may teach something. If "a canoe," contrary to the general impression, is at least as long as "a ship," it is very important that children should so understand it; and if "a pin-fish" is really as big as "a shark," no mistaken deference to the feelings of the latter should make us hesitate
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042502
to say so. No child, we are convinced, is too young to get ideas of science. In one of the model books we are pleased to find this great truth distinctly recognized: "'Is there anything like a lever about a wheelbarrow?' said his father. 'O yes, sir,' said JAMES. 'The axle; and the wheel is the prop, the load is
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042503
the weight, and the power is your hand.'" This, we should say, speaks for itself. Nor is a child ever too young to get ideas of thrift. One of our writers for infants observes, after explaining that the Dutch reclaimed the whole of Holland from the sea by means of dykes, "they worked hard, saved their money, and so grew
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042504
rich." Any child can take such hints. Neither is it wholly amiss to demonstrate that a child can't put a clock in his pocket. For it is plain that he would else be trying to do so sometime. Now, where in the "Arabian Nights" do you find anything like this?--We answer, triumphantly, Nowhere! "'JAMES,' said his father, 'do not shut
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042505
up hot water too tight, and take care when it is over the fire.' "'A lady was boiling coffee one day, and kept the cover on the coffee-pot too long. When she took it off, the water turned to steam, and flew up in her face, and took the skin off. "'Do you know how they make the wheels of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042506
a steamboat move? They shut up water tight in a great kettle and heat it. Then they open a hole which has a heavy iron bar in it, the steam lifts it, in trying to get out. That bar moves a lever, and the lever moves the wheels. "'Machines are wonderful things.'" This fact the reader must distinctly realize. And
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042507
doesn't he realize that the days of JACK, the Giant-killer, and Little Red Riding Hood, are about over? We want truth. The only question is, (as FESTUS observed), What is Truth? * * * * * PUNCHINELLO CORRESPONDENCE ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. _Derrick_.--There is a superstition afloat that, if you see a ladder hoisted against a house, and, instead of passing
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042508
outside the ladder you pass under it, some accident or affliction will befall you. What about this? _Answer._.--It all depends upon circumstances. If, while passing under the ladder, a hod of bricks should fall through it and strike you on the head, then an "accident or affliction" shall have befallen you: otherwise not. _Nincompoop_.--I hear a great deal about the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042509
"log" of the _Cambria._ Can you tell me how it is likely to be disposed of? _Answer_.--It is to be manufactured into snuff-boxes for the officers and crew of the _Dauntless_, as a delicate admission that they are up to snuff and not to be sneezed at. _Nick of the Pick_.--What is the best way of securing one's self from
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042510
the bodily damages to which all persons who attend pic-nic parties now seem to be liable? _Answer_.--Don't go to pic-nic parties. Rough it at home. _John Brown_.--We cannot insert jokes on the number of SMITHS in the world--except as advertisements. For lowest rates see terms on the cover. _Hircus_.--We are sorry to say that your remarks on Baby Farming are
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042511
not based upon facts. In nine cases out of ten it has nothing whatever to do with Husbandry. _Acorn_.--As this is the seventh time you have written to us, asking whether corns can be cured by cutting, so it must be the last. The thing palls, and we must now try whether ACORN cannot be got rid of by cutting.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042512
_Horseman_.--No; we never remember to have met a man who did not "know all about a horse." If such a man can be found, his fortune and that of the finder are assured. _Seeker_.--It may be true that man changes once in every seven years but that will hardly excuse you from paying your tailor's bill contracted in , on
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042513
the ground that you are not the same man. _Fond Mother_.--None but a brutal bachelor would object to a "sweet little baby," merely because it was bald-headed. _Sempronius_.--Would you advise me to commit suicide by hanging? _Answer_.--No. If you are really bound to hang, we would advise you to hang about some nice young female person's neck instead of by
60

your own: it's pleasanter. _Wacks_.--Yes, the Alaska seal contracts will undoubtedly include the great Seal of the United States. _"Talented" Author_.--We do not pay for rejected communications. _Many Inquiriers_.--We can furnish back numbers to a limited extent; future ones by the cargo, or steamboat. * * * * * FINANCIAL.

that, despite the repugnance with which the truly artistic mind must ever view it, Commerce was a rising institution, and that amongst the thousands of the refined and haughty who read PUNCHINELLO with feelings of astonishment and awe, there were some misguided men whose energies had been perverted to the pursuit of filthy lucre, your contributor yesterday descended into the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042516
purlieus of the city in quest of information wherewith to pander to the tastes of the debased few. It would be useless to point out to you that A.M. is not the hour at which it is the custom of Y.C. to tear himself from his luxurious conch. His conception of the exalted has always been associated with late breakfasts.

On this memorable occasion, however, duty and a bell-boy called him; and at the extraordinary hour to which he has referred he arose and set about his investigations. A party of distinguished and sorrowing friends accompanied him as far as BANG'S. The regard which he cherishes for poetry and art had hitherto marked out this pleasant hostelrie as the utmost
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042518
limit of his down-town perambulations. The conversation of his distinguished friends was elevating: the potations in which they drank their good wishes were equally, if not more so. Having deposited $. for safe-keeping with a trusted friend, your contributor hailed a Wall Street stage and sped fearlessly to his destination. He has gone through the ordeal safely. Annexed are the
60

result of his labors, in the shape of bulletins which were forwarded to but never acknowledged by a frivolous and unfeeling editor. WALL STREET, -/ A.M.--The market opened briskly with a tendency towards DELMONICO'S for early refreshments. Eye-openers in active demand. Brokers have undergone an improvement. A.M.--On the strength of a rumor that a gold dollar had been seen in
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042520
an up-town jewelry store, gold declined .. . A.M.--In consequence of a report that Col. JAS. FISK, JR., has secured a lease of Plymouth Church, and is already engaged in negotiations with several popular preachers, Eries advanced one-half per cent. HALF-PAST ELEVEN A.M.--A reaction has commenced in Eries, it being given out that Madame KATHI LANNER had sustained an injury
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042521
which would necessitate her withdrawal from the Grand Opera House. TWELVE O'CLOCK.--Just heard some fellow saying, "St. Paul preferred." Couldn't catch the rest. It seems important. What did St. Paul prefer. Look it up, and send me word. HALF-PAST TWELVE.--Market excited over a dog-fight. How about St. Paul? ONE.--Police on the scene. Market relapsed. Anything of St. Paul yet? Send

twg_000000042522
me what's-his-name's Commentaries on the Scriptures. HALF-PAST ONE.--News has been received here that Commodore VANDERBILT was recently seen in the neighborhood of the Croton reservoir. In view of the anticipated watering process, N.Y.C. securities are buoyant. Many, however, would prefer their stock straight. But what was it St. Paul preferred? Do tell. TWO O'CLOCK.--Immense excitement has been created on 'Change
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042523
by a report that JAY GOULD had been observed discussing Corn with a prominent Government official. A second panic is predicted. QUARTER PAST TWO.--Later advices confirm the above report. The place of their meeting is said to have been the Erie Restaurant. Great anxiety is felt among heavy speculators. HALT-PAST TWO.--It is now ascertained that the Corn they were discussing
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042524
was Hot Corn at lunch. A feeling of greater security prevails. THREE O'CLOCK.--Intelligence has just reached here that a dime-piece was received in change this morning at a Broadway drinking saloon. Gold has receded one per cent, in consequence. Eries quiet, Judge BARNARD being out of town. P.S. I haven't found out what St. Paul preferred. What's-his-name don't mention it
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042525
in his Commentaries. HALF-PAST THREE.--Sudden demand for New York Amusement Co.'s Stock. HARRY PALMER to reopen Tammany with a grand scalping scene in which the TWEED tribe of Indians will appear in aboriginal costume. NORTON, GENET, and _confrres_ have kindly consented to perform their original _rles_ of _The Victims_. P.S. Unless I receive some definite information concerning that preference of

St. Paul's, I shall feel it incumbent on me to vacate my post of Financial Editor. FOUR O'CLOCK.--On receipt of reassuring news from Europe, the market has advanced to DELMONICO'S, where wet goods are quoted from cents upwards. Champagne brisk, with large sales. Counter-sales (sandwiches, etc.,) extensive. Change in greenbacks greasy. P.S. Asked a fellow what St. Paul preferred. He
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042527
said, "St. Paul Preferred Dividends, you Know." Perhaps St. Paul did. A great many stockholders do. But what stock did St. Paul hold?

We have just received from "DICK TINTO," our special correspondent at the seat of war, the following metrical production said to have been written by HENRI ROCHEFORT in prison, but suppressed in obedience to orders from the Emperor. PUNCHINELLO felicitates his readers upon
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042529
the enterprise which enables him to lay it before them, and flatters himself that the enormous trouble and expense involved in hauling it to this side of the Atlantic, will not prevent him from doing it again--if necessary. AU PRINCE IMPERIAL. SCENE.--_A square fronting the Bureau of the chemin de fer for Chalons and Metz. Time, Midi._ The Prince Imperial,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042530
en route for the seat of war, is seated upon a milk-white steed. Beneath his left arm he convulsively carries a struggling game-cock, with gigantic gaffs, while his right hand feebly clutches a lance, the napping of whose pennant in his face appears to give him great annoyance and suggests the services of a "Shoo-fly." Around him throng the ladies
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042531
of the Imperial bed-chamber and a cohort of nurses, who cover his legs with kisses, and then dart furtively between his horse's _jambes_ as if to escape the pressure of the crowd. Just beyond these a throng of hucksters, market-women, butchers, bakers, etc., vociferously urge him to accept their votive offerings of garden truck, carrots, cabbages, parsnips, haunches of beef,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042532
baskets of French rolls and the like, all of which the Prince proudly declines, whereupon the vast concourse breaks forth into this wild chant to the air of BINGEN ON THE RHINE. From fountains bright at fair Versailles, And gardens of St. Cloud-- With a rooster of the Gallic breed To cock-a-doodle-do-- Behold! our Prince Imperial comes, And in his
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042533
hands a lance, That erst he'll cross with German spears For glory and for France. They've ta'en his bib and tucker off, And set him on a steed; That he may ride where soldiers ride, And bleed where soldiers bleed. They've cut his curls of jetty hair, And armed him _cap pie_, Until he looks as fair a knight As
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042534
France could wish to see. Ho! ladies of the chamber, Ho! nurses, gather near; Your _charge_ upon a _charger_ waits To shed the parting tear. Come! kiss him for his mother, _Et pour sa Majest,_ And twine his brow with garlands of The fadeless _fleurs de lis._ _Voila!_ who but a few moons gone Of babies held the van, Now
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042535
wears his spurs and draws his blade Like any other man! Then come, ye courtly dames of France, Oh! take him to your heart, And cheer as only woman can Our beardless BONAPARTE; For ere another sun shall set, Those lips cannot be kissed; And through the grove and in the court Their prattling will be missed. The light that
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042536
from those soft blue eyes Now kindly answers thine, Will flash where mighty armies tread, Upon the banks of Rhine. Yea, hide from him, as best you can, All womanly alarms, Nor smile with those who mocking cry, "Behold! A _babe-in-arms!_" A babe indeed! Oh! sland'rous tongues, A Prince fresh from his smock, Shows _manly_ proof if he can stand
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042537
The battle shout and shock. And this is one on whom the gods Have put their stamp divine: The latest, and perchance the last Of Corsica's dread line. Then for the Prince Imperial _Citoyens_ loudly cheer: That his right arm may often bring Some German to his _bier_; That distant Rhineland, trembling, May hear his battle-cry, And neutral nations wondering
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042538
ask, "_Oh! how is this far high?_" Our private dispatches from the seat of war in Europe are very confusing. The "Seat" appears to be considerably excited, but the "War" takes things easily, and seems to have "switched off" for an indefinite time. It is observed by many that there never was a war precisely like this war, and if
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042539
it hadn't been for a Dutch female, the Duchess of Flanders, it is fair to suppose that PUNCHINELLO wouldn't have been out of pocket so much for cablegrams. The Duchess took it into her head (and her head appears to have had room for it,) that her blood relative, LEOPOLD, couldn't get his blood up to accept the Spanish Crown.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042540
Well, as it turned out, the Duchess was right. Anyhow, she went for L., (a letter by the way, which few Englishman can pronounce in polite society,) and told him that there was "* * * a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." LEOPOLD said he had heard of that tide;
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042541
but he didn't believe in always "follerin' on it," no matter what betided. Then the Duchess got up her Dutch spunk, and spoke out pretty freely, saying as much as if LEOPOLD were a tame sort of poodle, and that _she_ ought to have been born to wear breeches, just to show him how a man should act in a
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042542
great crisis like the present. "Just so," says LEOPOLD, "but you see the 'crisis' is what's the matter. If it wasn't for the 'crisis,' I'd go in for ISABELLA'S old armchair faster than a hungry pig could root up potatoes." FLANDERS saw at a glance how the goose hung, and that her bread would all be dough if something wasn't
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042543
done, and that quickly. She knew LEOPOLD'S weakness for Schnapps, when he was a boy at Schiedam, and, producing a bottle of the Aromatic elixir, with which she had previously armed herself in expectation of his obstinacy, poured out a glassful and requested him to clear his voice with it. Fifteen minutes after his vocal organs had been thus renewed,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042544
LEOPOLD was in a condition to see things in an entirely new light, and hesitated no longer to write the following note to General PRIM: Dear PRIM: The thing has been satisfactorily explained to me, and I accept. Enclosed find a bottle of Schnapps. You never tasted Schnapps like this. The Duchess says she don't care a cuss for NAP,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042545
and that I mustn't neither. --LEOPOLD, SIGMARINGEN-HOHENZOLLERN. This is a veritable account of the origin of the European "unpleasantness," and can be certified to any one who will call upon us and examine the original dispatches. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | A.T.
