7. What is the etiquette about Red Lamps?

"HORSE AND 'RYDER'".--Last week, on the 15th, as was reported in the
_Globe_, and elsewhere, "a humble crossing-sweeper," named RYDER,
stopped a runaway cab-horse (a great rarity this, too) just as he was
about to descend headlong the steps of the Duke of York's column, and
so saved the two passengers, who, we hope, in consideration of what he
has done for _their_ lives, have settled something hansom upon him for
_his_ life. If not, the proposition is here made, and after the prop
comes the RYDER.

GHOSTLY COUNSEL.--Prizes are being offered for "Good Ghost Stories."
This may mean _Stories of Good Ghosts_; but supplying the hyphen and
supposing that the requirement is for "Good Ghost-stories," then _Mr.
Punch_ makes a present of a good title to any sanguine amateur who
may compete. Let him call his story, "A Ghost of a Chance." And _Mr.
Punch_ wishes he may get it!

PENNY FOOLISH.--Somebody has published a penny _A B C of Theosophy_.
To the appeal of this Occult A B C the enlightened public will
probably be D E F.
