And Slumdom "on the Hop"!


THE LATEST WEATHER-WISE DOGGEREL.

By a Scientific Rain-maker.

[It is stated that rain may be brought down by the explosion of dynamite and blasting-powder attached to oxyhydrogen balloons and kite-tails.]

Evening red and morning grey

Will send the traveller on his way;

But—blasting-powder on kites' tails spread,

Will bring down rain upon his head.

Retort by a Washed-out Wayfarer.
