DHU LOCH.--On September 18, Mr. KYNASTON had fourteen fish, 4-1/2 lb., heaviest 3/8 lb.; and on 19th, nine, 4 lb., heaviest 1 lb.
"Fat bullocks up to £15 17_s._ 6_d._" would try the strongest tackle. Splendid specimen of "Net Profits."
THE PUTNEY SPOOK.--Within the last week, so reported one of the Day-by-Days in the _Daily Telegraph_, a ghost has been heard of at Putney. Hundreds of _Hamlets_, _Marcelluses_, and _Barnardos_ (with _Ophelias_, and other ladies) have gone out of their way nightly to see the ghost. What should a riverside ghost be like? Obviously the "main-sheet" from a sailing-boat is ready to hand, and for its head, at any neighbouring boat-house, there is quite a choice of "sculls." If any hair, there are the "row-locks." The ghost must not, in our opinion, be expected anywhere with or against the stream, but in some "dead-water." "Will the ghost walk to-night?" is now the Shakspearian inquiry; to which the reply is, "Go to Putney!"
ANGELICAL!--Herr ANGELI, the Austrian portrait-painter, whose name, as a "noun of multitude," suggests "several ANGELOS rolled into one," is now the QUEEN'S painter _par excellence_. Consequently he should be known in England as "_Her_ ANGELI." May all good ANGELI guard Her Gracious MAJESTY! Still, clever as Brother BRUSH may be, it will take a lot of "ANGELI" to equal one "ANGELO," which his Christian name was "MICHAEL."
ROMEO ROBERTSON AND JULIET PAULA CAMPBELL.
_Mrs. J. P. C._ "O ROMEO, ROMEO! wherefore art thou ROMEO?"
_Romeo Robertson._ Because I have played it before: but "O JULIET, JULIET! wherefore art thou JULIET?"
_Mrs. J. P. C._ Because you cast me for the part, and I wanted to play it.
[Illustration: Master Romeo probably seventeen, and Miss Juliet certainly fourteen years old.]
_JULIET_ is, according to her nurse, just fourteen years of age. The story is that of "_Villikins and his Dinah":_--
There was a rich noble in Verona did dwell, He had but one daughter an unkimmun fine young gal, Her name it was _Juliet_, just fourteen years old, With a werry large fortune in siliver and gold. Singing tooral li (_ad. lib._).
The southern girl of fourteen equals the northerner of nineteen; and this must ever be the initial difficulty which few experienced actresses, can surmount. _Juliet_ is, in fact, a single girl and a married young woman rolled into one. "Single," "double," and "there's the rub!"
