PUyCH's New VERSION OF YANKEE DooDLE.-
Punch concludes his report of the Golden
and Palmerston debate in the House of Com
mons, on the American question, with the
following version of the American anthem,
as now sung by Mr.. John Bull:
"Yankee Doodle, do not frown,
Though your brisk and bony;
The jewels In Victoria's crown
Amt paste or macaroni.
London is pretty town,
SO is Philadelphy;
You shall have sugar plum,
And I'll have one my selfy."

Strange.-Decency is matter of latitude.
In Turkey man with tight pants on is con-

that man is considered low who refuses n

vulgar people are such MS keep good hours
