ESSENCE OF PARLIAMENT. EXTRACTED FROM THE DIARY OF TOBY, MP. House of Commons, Monday, April 20.—The other week T. C. Bagiwo was sitting among us, one of the Members for the City of ; London. Now Baxine is no more, to- night Hocxs Gress comes in to take his lace. Vicany G. brought his father ious: watched him take oath and has undertaken generally to see him through. In fact, when Grnns pére hesitated about taking the proffered seat for the City, Vicanry undertook to fill it ; finally, Grens pere being warmly pressed, consented to sit, and Vicary aside. But he will come in by-and-by, when he has syn his father — “ La) before esty, motto” said Vicary, whenI -_ @ plimented him upon the fine feel- ing he has shown th t these negotiations. ‘I always think that we young fellows lose nothing by giving our elders a start. My father, you know, change

Awromwy Ginss & Sons known all over the world ; always em ing to change style of an old firm ; so, for the prouat, at least, we leave things alone. Come along, Pater ; think I Il take you home now. Never rush wildly into new engage- ments; you've had the excitement of being sworn in, and signing the roll of Parliament. You hadn’t been in the place ten minutes before Tra Hearty gave you a chance of voting on a London City Bill, and that ’s enough'for one night. By-and-by you shall stay all night and enjoy yourself in Committee on Irish Land Bill.” So Antony Gines anv Sow went off before dinner. Didn’t miss much; grinding away at Irish Land Bill; most soul-depressing ex- perience of m life; no heart in it; no reality; Sacer of Queen Anne’s Gate brings up amendment amendment, and makes successive speeches; Seymour Keay does ditto; SuHaw-Lerevaee adds new terror to situation by taking voluminous notes which promise illimitable succession of orations; House empty; Paivce Anxtuvr has the fall length of Treasury Bench on which to lounge. Occasionally Division-bell rings; Members troop in by the hundred ; follow their leaders into Lobby right or left, deciding question haven’t heard debated, and mere drift of which two-thirds don’t understand. Brer Fox absent to-night, which precludes possibility of flare-up in Irish —_ Trm faithful to his post, but lacks inspiration of contiguity to Brer Fox. ** Parwecy’s played out,” said Tim, referring“in course of evening to Barr Fox's — in his latest run through Ireland. ‘‘ He may ramp and roar here, but his game ’s up in Ireland.” ** And is he resigned to the situation?” I asked. Trm looked at me, half winking his miraculously preserved'right eye. ‘Did you ever hear, Tony, what the weeping widow said;to the parson, who asked, ‘Was your husband resigned to die?’ ‘He had ter be,’ she said, choking a sob.” Business done.—Very little in the Irish Land Bill. Tuesday. —Mr. G.’s presence at Morning Sitting gave only 0ssible fillip to interminable Debate on Land Purchase Bill. Brerx Por still away, so comparative peace selgpe in Irish Camp. Tr Heaty no one to butt his head against; Coronet Nowan too busy deploying his army of five men; showing them how to retreat in good order when Division-bell rings, and how, when it is decided to vote, they shall pass out through one door, march in at the other, cross the floor, and look as much as possible as if they were ten instead of five. T. W. Rossexrz—* Roaring” Russet, as his old colleague in Temperance fights, Witrem Lawson, calls him— frequently on his legs. At sound of his voice, Mr. G. gets his back up; inte s interjections and corrections ; and presently, when he ean stand it no longer, plunges into a speech. Another time SaunDERSON ws him. ‘I am very sorry,” said Mr. G., who has been itching to speak for last half-hour, “* that the hon. and gallant Gentleman has dragged me into debate by gross misstatements.” Being there, however, Mr. G. = | himself passably well, Frinding Sacuwpenson to powder, and ewing Russet to pieces fore the Lord Staarnepen any CamPppety, who are sleepi peace- fully together in the Gallery. ‘* Like the Babes in the Wood,” said

Thursday. — Rival shows in both Houses to-night. Lords running the Newfoundland Delegates at the Bar ; in the Commons Budgeton. On the Commons drew the fullest House, to which Joxrm descanted for nearly three hours. If he’d taken two, the speech would have been a third less long, and three times as successful. Still the B comes but once a year, and CHANCELLOR of * Roaring ’’ Russell. the ExcuequsEr feels bound to make the most of pportunity. Pretty plain sailing for first two hours. Then Joxix 0 ran aground. It was General Sramps that did it all. Appeared unexpectedly in long list of details setting forth Estimates for Revenue in coming year. Nobody ever heard before of the General; Goo. at least, he must belong to the Army Estimates. But Joxix have him in, spurs and epaulettes, and all. “General Stamps,” he said, .egardless of grammar, ‘‘ have fallen off.” Joxrm, in his loose way, omitted to say off what; presumed to be his horse. House not sorry to hear it; had enough of the mysterious warrior. But he was up again a few minutes’ later. “General Stamps,” Joxr™ continued, in his airy fashion, ‘ apart from the Death Duties, I reduce from £6,700,000 to £5,900,000.” ** Better reduce fhim‘to the ranks at once,” said Admiral Fre, who is a terrible martinet. But Joxrmm took no notice of the suggestion ; floundered along, bungling terribly. Committtee tried to help him out; that didn't

help matters much. To havea Member in one part of the House filling up an awkward pause by suggesting ‘‘ dried fruit,” another **coffee,” a third *‘ rum,” and a fourth ‘* probate duty,” when after | all, Joxrm was thinking of the Income ;Tax for General STars, | evidently not designed to advance matters. ‘*The Committee knows what I mean,” Joxm« said, piteously, looking round out of a morass a little d than he’d been in lately. But that is exactly what the Committee didn’t do. “Then,” said Joxim, “you'll understand the figures when you read them in the papers to-morrow.” ing in that ; House mollified; still can’t help thinking that if it is to wait till next morning to read report of Chancellor's Budget Speech in order to understand his statements, some preliminary time might be saved in the evening. Business done.— Budget brought in. Friday Night.—Miseed Ov Moratiry from T: looked in his room; found him in arm-chair, colla place, with copy of Morning Advertiser in his ‘*What’s the matter?” I asked. ‘Surely you’ve not been reading Joxmm'’s Budget Speech right through!) He certainly looked as if he had. : u “No, Tony,” he said; ‘‘it’s not that; it’s the Leader. Havent) you seen what the Morning Advertiser says about me? ‘ For the first time in our recollection he (that’s me) bears on his political eseutcheon a deep smudge of dishonour’: and that’s all mse Joxrm wouldn’t take a — off a barrel of beer, ‘and twopence off a gallon of spirits. It’s the injustice I feel most contely.
