Mr. Punch, my Dear Sir:— l was a little disapinted in not receivin a invi tation to jine in the meetins of the So. cial Science Congress. I dou’t exackly see how they got on without me. I hope it wasn't the intentions of the Sciencers to exclood me from their de librations. Let it pars. Ido not repine. Let us* remember Homer. Twenty cities claim Homer dead, tbro’ which the livin Mr- Homer couldn’t have got trusted for a sandwich and a glass of bitter beer, or words to that effect. But perhaps it was a oversight. Cer* tinly I bsve been hospitably rec'd in this country. Hosspitaiityhas been poured all over me. At Liverpool I was asked to walk all over the docks, which are nine miles long; and I don’t remember a instance since my ’rival in Loudon of my genin' into a cab without a Briton comin and perlitely shut in the door for me, and then extendin his open hands o'ards me in the most freuly manner possible. Does he not by this simple yit Inching gesture welcum me to Eng land ? Doesn’t he? Oh, ves—l guess he doesn’t lie. And it’s quite rite among two great countries which speaks the same langwidge, except as regards h’s. And I have been allowed to walk round all the streets. Even at Buckingham Pallis I told a guard I wanted to walk round there, and he said I conld walk round there. I ascertained subsequent that he referred to the sidewalk instead of the Pallis—but I couldn’t doubt his hosspital feelins. I prepared an Essy on Animals to read before the Social Science meeting- It is a subject I may troothfully say I have successfully wrastlcd with. 1 tackled it when ouly nineteen years old. At that tender age 1 writ a Essy fora lit’ry Institoot, entitled, “Is Cats to be Trusted ?” Os the merits of that Essy it doesn’t becum me to speak, but ] may be excoosed for mentionin that the Institoot parsed a resolution that “whether we look upon the length o* this Essy, or the nianuur in which it is written, we feed that we will not ex press any opinion of it, and wo hope it will be read in other towns.” Os course the Essy I writ for the Social Science Society is a nioie fiu isheder production than the one on Cats, which was wroten when my mind was crood, and afore I had mastered a graceful and elygant stile of composi tion. I could not even punctooate iny sentences proper at that time, and I observe with pane on lookin over this effort of my youth that its beauty is in one or two instances tnar’d by in grammaticisms. This was inexcusable, and I'm surprised I did it. A writer who can t write in a gratnmarly manner better shut up shop. You shall hear this Essy on Animals. Some day when yon have four hours to spare I’ll read it to you. I think you’ll enjoy it. Or, what will be much better, if I may suggest—omit all pictures in next week’s Punch, and not let your contributers write anything whatever (let them have a holiday ; they can go to the British Museum); and publish my Essy entire. It wiil fill all your collumcs fall, and create commnet. Does this proposition strike you ? Is it ago? • In case I had read the Essy to the Social Sciencers, I had intended it should be the closin’ attraction. I hud in tended it Bbould finish the proceedins. I think it would have finished them. I understand animals better than any other class of human creatures.* I have a very animal mind, and I've been identified with ’em doorin my entire professional career as a showman ; more especial hears, wolves, leopards, and serpunts. The leopard is as lively a animal ns I ever came into contack with, it is troo he cannot change his spots, but you can change ’em for hipi with a paint-brush, us I once did in the case ol a leopard who wasn’t nnt’rally spotted in a attractive manner. In cxbibitin him I use to stir him up in his cage with a protracted pole, and for the pur puss of makin him yell and kick up in a leopard? manner, I used to ’cusioually whack him over the bead. This would make the children inside tho booth scream with fright., which would make lathers of families outside the booth very anxious to come in—because there is ii very large class of parents who have a uncontrollable passion for takiu their children to placet whore they will tt&nd b chance of being frightened to death. One day I whacked this leapord more than usual, - which tlistited a re monstrance from a tall gentleman in rctaclea, who "Skid: “My good man, not beat the poor eagtd animal. Rather fondle him.” - * ‘TU fondle him with *a club,” I an •erd him, hitting him another whack. “I prithee desist,” said the gentle man ; "stand aside, and see the effeck of kindness, I understand the idiosyn cracies of these creatures better than yon do," With that he went np to the cage, and thrusting his face in be tween the iron bars, he said soothingly, “come Hither, pretty creetur.” The pretty creetur come hithered rather speedily, and seized the gentleman by the whiskers, which he tore off about enuff to stuff a small cushion with. He said, "You vagabone, I’ll have you indited for exhibitin dangerous and immoral animals.” I replied, /‘Gentle, sur, there isn’t an animal hero that hasn’t a beautiful moral, but you mustn’t fondle 'em. You mustn’t meddle with their idiosyn cracies.” The gentleman was a dramatic critic, and he rote a article for a paper, in which he said ray entertainment was a decided failure. As regards Bears, yon can teach ’em to do interestin things, but they’re onre liable. I had a very large grizzly bear onee, who would dance, and larf, and lay down, and bow his head in grief, and give a mournful wail, ctsetry. But he often annoyed me. It will be re membered that on the occasion <ff the first battle of Bull Run, it suddenly oc* cuffed to the ted’ral soldiers that they had business in Washington that ought not to be neglected, and they all started for that beantifnl and rqmantic city, maintainiv a rate of speed dariu the en tire distance that would have done cred it to the celebrated French Steed Gladi ateur. Very nat'rally our government was deeply grieved at this defeat; and I said to the bear, shortly after, as I was givin’ a exhibition in Ohio—“Brew in, are yon not sorry the national arms has sustained a defeat ?” His business was to wail dismal, and bow his head down, the band (a barrel orgin and a wiolin) playin slow and melancholly moosic. What did file grizzly enss do, however, but commence dancin and larfin in a most joyous manner. I had a narrow escape from being imprisoned fi>r disloyalty. I will relate another in cident in the career of this rechid Bear. I used to present what I called in the bills A Beautiful Living Pietur —show- ing the Bear's fondness for Master ; in which I’d lay on a piece of carpeting, and the Bear would come and lay down beside me, res'iu his right paw on my brest, the band playin “Home Sweet Home,”, very soft and slow. Altho’ I say it, it was a tuchin thing to see. I've seen Tax-Collectors weep over that per formance. Well, one day I said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we will now show you the bear’s fondness for his master,” and I went and laid down. I thought I ob served a pecooliar expression into his eyes, as he rolled clumsily to'ards me, hut I didn’t dream of the scene which followed, lie laid down and put tiis paw on my breast. “Affection of the bear for his master,” I repeated. “You see the monarch of the western wilds in a subjugated state. Pierce as these animals naturally are, we now see that they have hearts, ami can love. This bear, the largest in the world, and mea suring seventeen feet round the body, loves me as a mer-ther loves her ehc-ild.” But what was my horror when the griz zly and infamous bear threw his other paw under me, and riz witli me to his feet. Then claspin rae in a close em brace he waltzed up and down the plat form in a frightful manner, I yeflin with fear and anguish. To make matters wuss, a low scurrilus young man in the audience hollored out, “Playfulness of the bear 1 Quick moosic 1” I jest ’scaped with my life. The bear met with a wiolent death the next day, by bein in the vay when a heavily loaded gun was fired off by one of my men. But you should hear my Essy which I wrote for the Social Science Meetins. It would have a movin effeck on them. I feel that I must now conclood. I have read Earl Bright’s speech at Leeds, and I hope we shall now hear from John Derby. I trust that not only they, but William E. Stanley and Lord Gladstone will cling inflexibly to those great fundamental principles, which they underatand far better than I do, and I will add that I do not understand anything about any of them whatever in the least—and let us all be happy, and live within our means, even if we have to borrow money to do it with.
