Mr.. Rarey.puach.
From the London Paneb, June ssth.


And Mr.. Punch dreamed that he was
Mr. Rsrey.
And behold. Rulers of the Earth had
been turned into quarupeds, by an elevat-
ing and improving magic, a hint FROM
"The Huean bay,
Where Circe dwelt, the daughter Of the Day. "
And their people brought thsp to the great
Rarey-Punch that be might tame them.
Came prancing in, a naughty black horse.
With q red eye, and he tried to tEample
upon everything in !.is way. They called
lim COrsican. A Newspaper was laid be-
ore him and he stamped it to atoms, and
,nly to those who approach him on their
inees would he be piacablc Mr.. Punch
alked to him for ive minutes, and then
Corsiean ran playfully about, holding the
Zap of Liberty between his teeth, He
,icked hole in a drum, and snoried with
elght as Mr.. Z. whistled our National
Anthem.
KEYS embroidered on his cloth, there en-
tered sleek, bus vcous-looking Italian
lorse. named Tiara, His vice, as was ex-
blamed by one Mazzini, his keeper, was,
that having gained your confidence by APP
parent good nature he would strike out,
lame you, and try to roll over you. He
had actually maimed, in this manner, ano-
ther horse called Liberty who had then
been killed by French Quack veterinian.
In ten minutes, Tiara was dancing on his
hind legs to the music of Luther's Hymn.
A handsome creature. Of Spanish blood,
was then introduced. She was named
The Ialslooest. She had fondling and
wheeding ways, but suddenly lashed cut
and bit venomously, and never was SO dan
gerous as when apparently in the best hu-
NOR. She came of bad stock, but ill
training had been the poor things worst
enemy. Very brief time passed, and she
was carr oIing round the ring, delighted
With popular air called the ProREgesa-
mentO.
Why a Tarkish horse, named Abdai,
was brought to Mr.. Punch, be could not
tell, the animal being in an enfeebled con-
dition, and incapable of doing much harm.
The point seemed to be to give him Gctivi-
ty, but the only thing that excited him was
the attempt to take away any Of his gay
trappings. There was talk of entering
him for the Enlightment Stakes, but he
evidently could not live the pace.
Then came Bomba, an obstinate brute
exceedingly malicious, whose fortc was
getting anybody into corner, keeping him
there, and occasionally kicking him in the
face or stomach. The stern, yet mild
Domptsur stood no nonsense from this ami
NAL, and in quarter of an hour lie ~amia-
bly, beat time to d hymn of Watts, and it
was clear that he wonld see no enemy in a
Park.
A rather young horse from Vienna was
next subjected to the process. He also
was i'll bred rather than positively vicious,
and he became frightened ut the common
est Objects when nothing allayed him but
the sight Of soldiers uniforms. He was
gradually familiarised, by the Tanner. with
the sight of the obnoxious articles, aud
speedily allowed Newspaper to be freely
flung at him.
Some Russians then came with . horse
called Alexander. +" / had good Zeal Of
trouble with his Sire. said Mr, r., " but
this seems altogether horse Of another
colour" And so IL proved, Alexander
rather shying at the sound OF & gun, bat
being apparently pleased with that Of the
railroad. A free goer." said MIR. Punch
"and hope TO see him at Ascot"
Lastly came Yankee horse called Pre-
sideRt Sly Boots. The moment he entered
he deliberately winked at Mr.. Panch. The
latter went gently up TO him, and, being
master Of the American language, address
ed him as follows; calklate. old boss
as you amt In want Of no teaching from
me. Lookin' round after Cruiser. air you
Never mind about cruisers. That's AZ
square, YES. Sir-ee. Aud you knows u all
fred well. old hoss Yew sit out addeI
Mr.. Punch, with one Of Mr. Barney VII
lianl's most brilliant squalls.
Prssidenf sly Boots set np such an tu
eommon laugh that Mr, Punch ewoke
