A (FREQUENTLY) RISING M.P.--Mr. T. G. BOWLES is quite "a new boy" in
the House, yet has he none of the diffidence of most other new boys.
His continuous questions and his easy oratory will win for him the
styles and titles of "The Flowing BOWLES" and "The Sparkling BOWLES."
If _Mr. P._ adopts him as a frequent and favourite subject for an
object lesson, such as were SIBTHORPE and some others in past times,
he may attain the very highest position as "BOWLES of _Punch_."
