From the London Punch, June
MR.. RAREY PUNCH.

And Mr.. Punch dreamed that he was
Mr.. Rarey.
And behold, Rulers of the Earth had
been turned into quadrupeds, by an ele-
waiting and improving magic, Lint from
''the Esean bay
Where CRcE dwelt, the daughter of the Day"
And their people brought them to the
great Rarey-Punch that he might tame
them.
Come prancing in, naughty black
horse, with red eye, and he tried to
trample upon everything in his way
They called him Corsican. A Newspa-
per was laid before him, and he stamped
it TO atoms, and only to those who ap-
preached him on their knees would he be
placable. Mr.. Punch talked to him for
five minutes, and then Corsican ran play
fully about holding the Cap of Liberty
between his teeth. He kicked hole in
drum, and snorted with delight as Mr.
P. whistled our National Anthem.
Keys embroidered on his cloth, there
entered sleek, but vicious looking Ital-
ian horse, named Tiara. His vice, as
was explained by one Mazzini, his keep
er, was that having gained your conf
dence by apparent good nature, he would
strike out, lame you, and try to roll over
you. He had actually manned, in this
manner, another horse called Liberty,
who had then been killed By French
quack veterinian. In ten minutes Tiara
was dancing on his hind legs, to the mu-
sic of Luther's Hymn.
A handsome creature of fSpanish blood,
was then introduced. She was named
The Innocent. She had fondling and
wheedling ways, but suddenly lashed out
and bit venemously and never was so dan
gerous as when apparently in the best
humor. She came of bad stock, but
i'll training had been the poor things
worst enemy. Very brief time passed,
and she was caracOling round the ring.
delighted with popular air called the
Pronunciamento.
Why Turkish horse named AJdul,
was brought to Mr.. Punch, he could not
tell, the animal being in an enfeebled
condition. and incapable of doing much
harm. The point seemed to be to give
him activity, but the only thing that ex-
cited him was the attempt TO take away
any of his gay trappings. There was
talk of entering him for the Enlighten-
ment Stakes. but he evidently could not
live the pace.
Then came Bom6a an obstinate brute,
exceedingly malicious. whose fort was
getting anybody into corner, keeping
him there, and occasionally kicking him
in the face or stomach. The stern, yet
mild Domptur stood no nonsense from
this animal, and in quarter of an hour
he amiably beat time to hymn of Watts,
and it was clear that lie would see no en-
emy in Park.
A rather young horse from Vienr was
next subjected to the process. He also
was i'll bred ratherihan positively vicious,
and he became frightened atthe common
est objects. when nothing allayed him
but the sight of soldiers uniforms. He
was gradually familiarized, by the Tame,
with the sight of the obnoxious articles,
and speedily allowed Newspaper to be
freely flung at him.
Some Russians then came with horse
called alexander. 81 had a good deal
Of trouble with his Sire" said Mr.. p,
''but this seems altogether horse of
another color" And SO it proved, Aler-
1nder rather shying at the sound of gun,
out being apparently pleased with that OF

lunch, "and 1 hope to see him at As

Lastly came a Yankee horse called
President Sly BOots:-The moment he en-
cred he deliberately Winked at Mr.
Punch. The latter went gently up to him
md, being a master of the American
anguage, addressed him as follows

President Sly Boots set up such an I'M
