Pity that when one Prince was called Taxis the other wasn’t named Rates. But evidently this was an oversight. A neat couplet might head this advertisement, and add to its attrac- tiveness, as for instance :— Every question, whatever they ax i | Will in its Tuumw be answered by Taxis. | Taxis and Tuunn, for a win you ‘ll of course back, | The pick of the stable, the trainer Von Onssacn.

The book has a wondrously weird and heavily-lined eee in front, which is just a little too like a| Prophetic Hieroglyphic ” in Zadkiel’s Alma- | nack. An Co ye and surheen- sages | devil is apparently carrying an ine-hose through a churchyard, whilst a bat fits against a curious Fai f ot looks like a/| young grainer’s attempt at imitating ‘‘birds’-eye maple.” Upon a second glance it seems possible that the “* hose” is a snake, the tail of which the devil is gnawing. The gruesome design illustrates a yet more grue- some Interlude, entitled, “* The Bat and the Devil.” But it gives no fair idea of the con- tents of the ume, some which are charming. . Read White Nights, stories within a story, told by a tragical * Fool,” of thet breed of Hveo’s Rigoletto, and Por’s Hop, ith a difference. They are told with force and grace, and with‘ unstrained, but movi pathos. Read **The Dog That Got Found, a brief, sketch indeed, but abundantly sug- gestive. Poor Fido—the ‘‘ dog that be utterly sick of conventionality,” an to such bitter grief in his search for ** hfe, poignant and intense!” He might read a esson to many a two-legged prig, were the bipedal nineompoop capable of learning it. The Glass of Supreme Moments is, perhaps, needlessly enigmatical, and Rural Simpl Concealed Art, and Two Poets, ike as superflaously “* unpleasant.” seems slightly touched with the current | literary fad for making bricks with the smallest possible quantity of straw. One half- pennyworth of the bread of incident to an intolerable deal of the sack of strained style and pessimist commentary poorish imaginative pabulum, though there seems an increasing appetite for it amongst those | who, unlike Lucas Morne in The Glass of | upreme Moments, plume themselves . a possession of ‘*the finer perceptions.” The | Magic Morning is a “* ’ elaborately | auced and garnished; the fleeting flavour | may possess a certain sub-acid piquancy, but ' such small dishes of broken meats are hardly | nourishing or wholesome. _ Mr. Pany has a delicate fancy and a grace- ful style, a bitter-sweet humour, a plentiful endowment of ‘‘the finer p-| tions.” He has done some good work here, and will do better—when he is su ject, and loses his affectations.

Business done.—Address moved, met with Vote of No Confidence, submitted by AsqurrH in brilliant speech. Tuesday.—Imminence of change in Ministry brings into i- nenece and close proximity what is likely to happen in Ireland when Home Rale is established. Irish Members of all sections on the alert. Sauwpersow in his war-paint, which assumes shape of luminous white waistcoat. Always know, when the Colonel puts that on, he means business. Made to-night good Derrydown ay ty — by howls of execration from I brethren opposite. That is just what Colonel enjoys; moved him to - ge flights of oratory. His lurid picture of Asquirn, Q.C., “‘ sitting on the lips of Irish volcano,” extremely effective. Irish Members cruelly and effec- tually retorted by potting up Repmorp Junior to reply. Colonel tly smiled, but it was a gashly effort. ice evidently effective. Repmonp did admirably ; nothing could have been better than his grave re- mark, to presumably alarmed House, that, having for seven years sat opposite Colonel, he was able to assure them that he was = ectly harmless—perfectly harmless.” * Now that.” said Asmsovuye, in London just now winding up his ministerial affairs, “tis the cruellest thing I ever heard said of Saunperson.”’ Later, more serious evidence of seething condition of feeling in Ulster brought under notice of House. Ross, Q.C., was returned at General Election, in place of CHARLES young Members, showing how a man of mentary aptitude, may prove a hopeless failure. Koss born and brought up in Derry; accustomed to controversial prac- ; tices. Familiar from boyhood with the con- crete form dialectics are apt to take when Honest John Burns. jndulged in beyond space of half an hour. ‘If they mean business,” Ross said confidentially to Honest Jonw Buans, “they ll find the Boy in it.” 80, before coming down to House, he carefully filled his trouser- pocket with convenient-sized paving-stones. When he got up just now, House stared with amazement at curious appearance presen by the Orator. Ross, pleased with attention created, threw back his coat, placed hands on hips, stiffened his legs, and made the most of the paving-stones. Members opposite whispered, and tittered. ‘Let them langh that win,” said Ross. “In case of a row. a poieg-eee in trouser-pocket is worth a Krupp’s Battery in the ush. So it proved. Prevention better than cure. Nobody threw any- thing at New Member for Derry, and, when he had concluded successful Maiden Speech, went out and emptied his amazing pockets into his locker. **1’ll save ’em up fora saley Soy, coe man said when he pawned his landlord’s umbrella,” was Mr. ‘s remark as he hurried off home, at least a quarter of a hundredweight lighter. Business done.—More debate on Address. Thursday.—Splendid House; full from floor to topmost tier of seats in Strangers’ Galleries. e last scene in | of Govern- ment. All the actors on. Boxes full; Stalls full; Pit full. Contrary to Lonp CHAMBERLAIN'S regulations, chairs placed in gangways. Great rush for these, as affording novel position. Maruens, who got front seat, says it was very nice, but not without compensating disadvantage. ‘* Expected every minute, you know, the man coming round for your penny, as they do in the Parks.” CHAMBERLAIN had first call; greatly cheered by Conservatives when he stood before footlights. Little bit of farce to begin with. ALpuevs CLeorsas rose with Josepa.

Very well done, and added some- thing to interest of moment. But unnecessary. Joseru equal to occasion without adventitious aid. A fine speech, equal to the magnificent audience. Even Don’r Kere-Harore took off his cap to listen. Joserpm never better with his quick sharp thrust, his lunging blow, and his apt tripping up. As usual, best where speech broken in upon with rude inter- ruption.
