The above squad, containing an ex-contortionist, has just received the following instruction:—"At the command 'Backward bend,' place the hands on the hips and bend back as far as possible."
MORE EYE-WASH.
Whene'er I see some high brass-hatted man
Inspect the Depôt with his ribboned train,
When all seems spick and absolutely span
And no man spits and nothing gives him pain,
