OUR LADLEFUL OF "PUNCH."

In relation to dancing, Punch remarks that the old step
that we now everywhere find going out, is the Door step. ,
A. whimsical dialogue, rather poorly illustrated, runs as
follows :

Doctor—There's not much the matter with him, but I
think we must cut off his animal aliment.
Master Tom (with intense alarm)—Oh I ma! will it hurt
me?

CARRY'S FIRST OFFER, accompanied by a droll but
equally indifferent illustration, is thus recounted :—On the
morning after their arrival at " Sludge-on-the• Ooze,"
where Pa hal taken a house for the summer, close to the
Beach.

ENTERPRISING TRADESMAN--Are you engaged to a
Butcher, Miss P (Carry, contused—" Really I —2.)—
which we shall be 'appy to purwide the family, Miss-7
P,ritaest jints—lowest market price—praps you'll—(edit
Carry, with her retrousse nogg very much more so.)

PANAMA, JULY 7.—The master of the British
bark Chile, arrived at Valparaiso, reports having been
boarded, north of Cape Horn, by an officer from a steamer
of suspicious appearance, which he called the Federal
gunboat Tuscarora. Soon afterwards a bright light was
seen on the horizon, but there being no wind the Chile
could not make for it. The steamer was supposed to be
either the Alabama, Florida, or Virginia.
SPORTING PROSPECTS—INVERARY.—Sportsmen
are beginning to arrive at their boxes in all parts of the
Highlands. The shooting prospects are everywhere ex-
cellent. Refreshing rains would, however, be beneficial
to the young broods, as long-continued droughts often
prove disastrous. The coveys are very wild, and strong
on the wing, and not a bird is to be seen which will not
rise a hundred yards before. In Glonaray, Glencroe,
Lochtynesicb., Lochaweside, Dalmelly, and all the other
fine shooting ranges here, the prosptcta are reported to be
unusually good. The birds are far advanced, in excellent
condition, and very numerous. In the deer forest, superior
stalking is anticipated. The fawns have been numerous.
and fhi herds of deer are in a splendid condition, owing to
the fine grez:ng season. So many flue antlered stags have
seldom been seen, and heads of twelve and fourteen po!nts
will not be diMeult to find.
