Perhaps I had Jettf monuments, ill the church. One of is. to James, "fourth Earl of Findlater, the Chancellor Eai-l; has: been calledwho" abml(. the Vnion of.

t)'e two Wngdoms in 1707, It is related, of IiiW, that when the Scottish Parlinmftnt vnsft for- the: last time, ho exclaimed There's the end o' an auld his, brother, the Hon. Patrick, Ogilvy of Inchmartin, who was no friend to the union, ior oemg a cattle dealer, ne wa wiwi me --uetter sen vuau nations." Till 1877 his monument stood beside the north wall of the church, and completely concealed an interesting relic of pre-Jttelorma-tion times in the form of an aumbry, or for. holding the consecrated elements. This sacrament-house is-constructed of freestone, and-is 8ft. high aud 3ft.

broad. The small recess or, aumbry proper had formerly a door and lock. Above it are carved representations of two angels with uplifted wings, holding in their hands a monstrance- or vessel wherein was placed the consecrated wafer. Above the angels is an appropriate inscription in Latin. About the year .1800, the present north.aisle of the church was built.

Some torty-twoyears later oiu seats in the south, aisle were removed, ana their carved wood was preserved by being fixed to the pillars of the Seafield. gallery. The churchyard is surrounded by high walls, and contains some fine trees and a nnmber-of venerable lichen-clad tombstones. About halt a mile from the graveyard to the west is St' Wrell. Water from- the spring is said, to have been used in the services of the church.

Till comparatively recent times, Mary Fair was held in the town ou the third Tuesday ef a survival of the festival commemorating the nativity of the Virgin. Before 174S there was neither trade nor manufacture, amoug the inhabitants of Cullen. Soon after the then. Earl of Findlater introduced, the manufacture linen.r He induced several Edinburgh young men with a knowledge of the business to settle, in Cullen, and lent them considerable sums of money, free of interest. He built comfortable weaving shops, and gave the industry such a stimulus" that by the year 1769, when Pennant visited Cullen, there were a hundred looms at work.

Twenty-five years. later there were 'only'sixty-five linen looms, in addition to seven, stocking lonms, town but webs toi-b oi vp.n to neoiole in the surrounding districts to bo woven at home. Weaving 13 no longer carried on in Cullen. Close to the church was, the prison of the old town. From the stair leading, un.to it the burgh piper used to read his cries on Sundays while the congregation was dispersing, Quite near was the schsolhouse, built- in 1713.

When it. became ruinous the children continued to be taught in a weaver's shop hard by. There were alsb.dames' schools, where children received some elementary instruction before going to the Grammar School. In the latter the teaching hours were from 7 am. from 10 a.m.

till 1 p.m., and from 3 p.m. till 5 p.m. -About 1821 the pupils, SO in number, headed by their master, forsook for- wm their old ouartsrs, and inarched in -procession, to the school just. in IlP T1R1.V tOWn. built in In honour the occasion the master gave eaca oi i nd a half holiday.

A bell, now in Cullen House, used to hang at the end, of the granary in the old town. It was known by the name of Dundurcus, having been camec. off at one time from the kirk of that ancient parish. Superstition clung to a certain hawthorn, locafly styled the Deli's Bus, which boys were afraid to pass after nightfall. But darkness had its terrors for old as well as young, and many were afraid, to.

stir abroad' after dusk. Some one has said that, oi all the policemen in Scotland the hobgoblins were far the best. One need hardly say that letters were then few, because expensive, a. leer from London cost Is Sid, Irom: (jiasgov or Edinburgh Hid, and from Aberdeen Sd. A woman, Ann Williamson by name, delivered the letters within tho town at the rate ot a halfpenny eacn.

uury paper reached the burgh during the week, and was eagerly passed from house to house. Living was simple, and wealth, consisted chiefly the fewness of wants. Near the churchyard gate an annual market, known as as oonns Fair, was. held on the 7th of January, doubtless transferred from Deskford, where St John the Evangelist was reckoned the patron saint. A trace of an old Cullen, street can still be seen along the course of what was once the Wynd.

There the com remains green after the grain in the rest of the field has begun to turn yellow. The kirk-session records of Cullen give us interesting glimpses of life in former times. Various misdemeanours came under the cognisance of 'the Church authorities, who were ever ready to use the jougs and the stool of reneutance as means of reformation. In 1641 certain persons were convict in break of ye Sabbath, for playing at ye golff, efter-noone in time of sermone, and yrfor ar ordayned, evrie ane of them, to pay halff a merk, and mak yr repentance ye next Sabboth." The following is a quaint entry of date 1683,: "The Session made ane act that non should gather war or sea wrack from Saturday at skey setting till Munday att skey rysing, under the pain of being guilty of breach of Sabbath." Witchcraft was regarded with horror, and stringent measures were taken for its repression. In 1656 a woman, named Margaret Philp, confessed that she had communication with the devil, and accordingly received sentence of the greater excommunication.

Seven years earlier another woman, Marjorie Palmer, had been charged with the crime of sorcery. To. determine whether her sick would live or not she dug two graves, and called, the one the quick grave and the other the dead grave. An acquaintance who did not know which was which was asked to place the child in one or other, the mother believing that if her child should be put into the quick grave recovery would ensue, but if into the other, death. The kirk-session controlled the arrangements at marriages.

Penny weddings were then infashion, and it was enacted that no one was to have pipers at them, on the ground that the assembling of idle people, mainly to hear the music, led to sundry abuses but there seemed no objection to the presence of a piper on other occasions, for we learn from the New Statistical Account of Scotland" that in former times, at Hallowe'en, Christmas, and other holidays, the young people of Cullen went together to the sands aud links of the bay to engage in football, foot races, throwing the 'hammer, the procession being headed by a piper and other musicians. The winner in the games received as a prize a bonnet adorned with feathers and ribbons, and this he wore at the bali which usually followed. The fishing population of Cullen dwells by itself in the picturesque collection of houses called the Seatown or Fishertown, close to the shore. There the custom of giving te-names has held its own for well-nigh three, centuries, These extra names are intended to distinguish different individuals bearing the same Christian name and surname, and usually indicate relationship, special aptitudes, or traits of. character.

Many quaint superstitions still linger the Seatown. These retain firm hold on the minds of the people and strongly influence the conduct- of daily life but, not being much talked about, they do not force themselves on the notice of visitors. J. M. Mackislay.

Its attractions to the landscape and seascape lover as well, as to the antiquary are becoming better, and therefore-better appreciated. Situated about half-way between the mouth of the Spey on the west and Banff, on.the east, it distant some (IS miles by rail from Aberdeen.

Readers of George "Malcolm" are brought face to. face with Cullen under -the name of Porfc-Lossie, and no one who knows both book and place caa fail to be struck with the general truthfulness of the descriptions. Cullen is a royal burgh of ancient date, but at what time it. received its charter we do not precisely know. William the Lion, who reigned from 116-4 to 1214, granted a toft iu the burgh of Invercullan- to the Bishop of Moray and his successors.

William wa3 often in the north quelling rebellions; and it is quite likely that it was he who made Cullen a link the. chain of royal "burghs stretching from Banff to Inverness. -prefix "Inver," anciently forming part of the name of the burgh, shows that the town stood near the junction of the Gallon Burn and- the sea, the town having been called after the. stream, and not 1 T. -1- i.

vice xaere is reason do oeueve. uiau Cullen comes from Cuiliomi, the Gaelic word for holly. Anyone wandering beside the Burn must be struck with the fitness of the name, for one sees net mere bushes but large trees of holly growing around. In prehistoric times a considerable population existed along the coast close to Cullen. The ancient graves and flint implements discovered from time to time bear ample witness to the fact.

The conical eminence still, called the Castle Hill 200 feet above the beachwas the site of a vitrified, fort. doubtless a-tolerably safe- place of retreat in times of danger. Traces of its ramparts and ditches are still to.be seen. Some such place of. defence must have been muchneededatone time owin? to the' incursions of the cruel Norsemen, On the occasion of one of these incursions a fierce struo-cde, known as the Battle of the took place a.

little to the west of Cullen, on what was till lately a moor, but is now largely T.nrlrr tillo.rrei The was fought in the year 981, the Scots being headed by their King; Indulphus. The Norsemen were repulsed, but TrlnlnTins was slain in the hour of victory. Till a comparatively recent date a considerable number of turauliwereto be seen.on the Bauds and a cairn, known as the King's; Cairn, was traditionally believed to mark the. spot where the Scottish King was buried. Another cairn in the neighbourhood, removed about 1819 to! supply road metal, is referred to in an old rhyme: i Atween Cedlich and the sea, There lies kings' B0U3 three." Who these kings' sons' were history does not tell us, but it is an interesting circumstance that.not iar off.

in the Bay of Cullen are three isolated rocks still known as the Three Kings of Cullen." In the sand beside each ef them a royal personage is said to have been We may question the probability of the story, but. there is hardlyany doubt that the three rocks were so called fram. the chance resemblance of Cullen to Cologne, in whose cathedral-were deposited the relics of Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar, styled in a mediseval miracle, play "Ye Three Kingis of Ovlane." Cullen has a unique position among Royal burghs, as it is the only one that has changed its site, It once stood close to Cullen House. Newte, who was.taere in 178o, described the place as "-a small, poor town, without one good house in it." About 37 years later the town was demolished to allow the grounds of Cullen House to be extended, and was rebuilt a. short distance further to the north-east, nearer the sea.

With the exception of the Parish Church in the midst of its burying ground, and a portion of the factor's" "house, nothing now remains of the old town. The new has a population of Tt is reaular in plan and has a spacious square where stands the burgh cross, the shaft dating from the' time of William and Mary. Thecross bears the, town's arms, the Virgin and Child, the same as those of the Border bursh of Selkirk, It stood in the old town till about 1822, when it was removed to the Castlehill. There it remained overlooking the sea till 1872, and was then transferred to its present site. A plan of the eld town of Cullen, dating from 1762, serves to show its appearance.

Much light has been thrown on its bveone ways by Dr Cramond. whose painstaking researches have made all smtiouaries h-is debtors. Cullen House, already referred to, is the Banftshire.seat of the Dowager Countess of Seaheld, Dy whose courtesy visitors are admitted to the beautiful grounds. The mansion is a picturesque structure, built about 1602, but considerably altered since then It stands on the brink of the narrow ravine where flows Cullen Burn fifty or sixty feet below. The house contains many curious and valuable specimens of tapestry, woodwork, and china, as well as paintings.

The library is most attractive both asregards its contents and the apartment where tlie books aro Outside, a couple of large stoue lions, guard, the entrance, while cn. the wails are carved representations of the three theological virtues, Faith, Hope, and Charity, with- the mottoes (1.) FAYTH Ye GRVND OF AL. (2.) HOPE Ye ANKER OF, EAITH. (J.) CHARITIE COVERETH MANIE SINS. These are believed to date from about 1668.

Cullen House suffered during the second Stuart rising, having been plundered by some of-Prince Charlie's followers on the 8th of April, 1746. Close to the house is a snbs'tantial one-arched bridge sparrning; the, and, little higher t'liB strKnm is auotlier bridsre, also of one but considerably older and more ealled-the Lady's Bridge. The erounds abound in splendid trees of different P. -i 1--J1- 1 -1 VT kinds, and a gooa-roau leaus uy luiraauiv gradual ascent to the top of, the Bin of. Cullen, whence a magnificent, view over sea and land can be had on a clear day.

A building much. older than Cullen House once stood not "far from served as the. occasional residence of -vniralhv. A frasrnent of the building was to be seen at the end of last century, but nothing of it is now visible. It is believed to have been occupied by Alexander II.

and Alexander who visited Cullen probably to enjoy the pleasures of the chase in the then extensive forests of Boyne and Enzie. Elizabeth de Burffh. daughter of the Earl of Ulster and second wife ef King Robert the Bruce, is believed to have died within its walls. Part of her body was buried within the church or Cullon, od the remain tlfir was interred in Dunfermline. Abbey.

Her husband bequeathed a sum of money or the.support of a chaplain in the church ot Uullen to pray lor tue repose oi her soul. No one can fail to be attracted by that note-worth-- relic of Old Cullen its Parish Church, dedicated to St Mary. In the year 1236 we hear of the chapel of Mverculcbn in connection with a dispute as to jurisdiction between the Bishops of Aberdeen and Moray. The 'term "eccUsia puracKcUis. de Gillian" was used in the sixteenth century as pointingprobably tothe possession of baptismal, rights: unt Cullen did not attain to the-dignity of a separate parish till early in fchs'seventeenth century.

Ari important chanTii was made in the condition ot the nhiirrTh in- Not only was the structure rebuilt oa a "larger and joined' to St Anne's crected.a few years before, but tlie 1 whole was 'made a collegiate church for a provost, six prebendaries, and two 'singing- boys. The prebends created: were those of St Annn, Holy Cross, St. Mary, St John "the Andrew, and St Mary Magdalene. The holder of St Anne's prebend was to be the. precentor of the college, and had to.

teach daily a. song-school for boys within the The pre--bendaries had their duties' stated in the. foundation charter. SHwy were required, iiiter alia, to reside near the college, and to officiate daily within its walls. On feast days they were to be dressed in clean linen surplices with hoods of red fur and, thus attired, to say matins, high mass, vespers, and, compline at.

the great altar in the choir-i and after compline to repeat nightly the Salve Regina in the Chapel of St Anne. There were burials within the church both before and after the Reformation. The last interment was that of the Dowager-Countess of Findlater, who died in 1795. The church contains some fine monuments. The, host is that of its, founder, Sir Alexander Ogilvy (founder also, it is believed, of the ancient, bedehouse of Cullen, and ancestor of the Earls of Findlater and Seafield).

It is in the form of an arched recess, containing elaborate carvings. In the recess is seen a stone figure of the knight, with his hands folded on his Dreast as 11 in prayer.

But it is perhaps as well, for the Irish members, and Irish affairs have certainly dominated Parliament, for many years past, and no true picture oi tae inner life of the House of- Commons could possibly be produced in which the lion's share was not given up to them. My only regret is that it affords mo but soitnt opportunity of doing justice to many other features of the Queen'3 Parliaments of the last 30 years which, with, adequate space at command, would be well worth recalling. The historic incident of the "free fight" on the floor oE the House is sufficiently recent to be well witiiin everyone's; recollection, but there are older scenes which were almost if not quite as exciting in their way ilia many contests, for instance, which. Mr Bradlaugh waged with the House, and the crowning scene bis forcible expulsion by the policu, with his coat torn from his 'back, and half of it hanging by a mere shred as he stood with heaving chest in, passionate defiance in Palace Yard, too angry even to speak. As I saw him standing therev 1 remember the idea occurred to nie that if bis health and strength only held out a man so.

forceful and determined would yet beat the House of Commons, and beat it he did before a very long time had passed, whereupon lie became an undoubtedly valuable addition to it, and even those who bad been his bitterest opponents candidly acknowledged that "the modern Wilkes" made an admirable member. Then there, was that other memorable scene when Mr Samuel Plim-soil, failing to get the House, to take the same deep interest as himself in the safety of the sailor, and the abolition of "coffin ships," rushed from the Chamber one afternoon in a white heat of passion, only pausing at tho bar as he went to shake his clenched fist in the face of a crowded House, and to denounce its members as "robbers and murderers." Then so strangely are we constituted, large corporate bodies as well as individuals what had been denied to reason and argument was at once granted to the whirl-wind of passion, and a bill was soon passed to do much that Mr Plimsoll wanted, and a Commission appointed to bring about the rest. As for Mr Plimsoll himself, his earnestness and sincerity were never questionea by ins coi- i 1. agues, ana ne never gave nieiLcr yiuui i either than when tie voluntarily ana cneeriuiiy resigued a safe seat in order to provide one for Sir William Harcourt, who, he thought, with a tnnoliino- Ki'mrilieitv. would be able te do more.

I. The. other day you recorded tha sale for a but not extravagant sum ef the Barns.s Edinburgh Commonplace book, rignwy London correspondent as clescnDca interesting relics uu for sale of tne Thi relics of the highest genius one treasures, and not lilr.es to r-rtinK. ui shelves and as disiictu membra or coue i i al Inrr-l public sale-rooms. The spiri thus fostered is by no means favourable itself to devotion to pure literature, for its own sake.

No author has suffered so mueu this, as Burns, because no eimUC- Wr, cn mile: behind mm 01 guuu, bad, and -'ndifferent. all catcuiarea whet curiosity, and preserved only within the loose bonds of private ownership. Bums was himself aware of the risk, for he speaks 0. "my poems and fragments that must never see the light." But he could never bo called the i.l.--.,l-, l-irt Irtnlrp.rl Httfyn mercenary JSara. 020,." his literary craft with the eya of a mediaeval Ritter, had the knack of turning everything he touched into zold.

Burns, oa tue osnei- um; keenly susceptible to literary esteem, attention of. friends, repaid to the it all with what he proudly called the poet's coin, and scattered his gifts without stmt. Muoh has been garnered under a quasi-national keeping, and for this we ought all to be thankful. But the poet, who was ever proud to do his best "for puir auld Scotland's sake would scarcely have approved of so little coming to his mithcr's awmriei The British Museum has much, Liverpool mora. Even the T.im n.lmiorhtv dollar has enough In Scotland we have small public collections 01 priceless va.m.j at ri-ilmarnocK, irviue, Edinburgh.

To tae shame o. public trust Glasgow not a BTivnn thenoet's writing nor 1 t.lr, even so much as a copy editions, save the University's, Edm. 187. The consequence of all this sale-room competition for relics has been to exaggerate interest in what is more or less biographical myth, and to beget a spurious devotion to the letter that perisheth to the neglect of the spirit of the poets mn: that alone abideth. The only great iuthor that approaches Burns, lowjo ntier-vallo, in material for textual study is Milton, yet do we know him as Professor Masson has handwritmz and technique, in grammar, versification, spelling, diction, and so on Should the student wish to taste at the sources he must trudge ofl to many and widely-scattered springs, and ot these not a few he will find guarded oy private lo ti, mn Books have long been preserved iu England among the treasures of private collectors.

The First is all we have as private record of that marvellous, almost miraculous, literary outburst which Lochlea and Mossgiel witnessed (17S3-5), and the Kilmarnock edition published to the world (1786). Here we have recorded the first secret yearnings after literary fame and sell-criticism in feeling after lyric expression, ihe Second or Edinburgh Commonplace Uools (1787-90) is in many respects still more interesting and valuable. Few 01 us fu.ly appreciate the profound change tor the worse, I think effected on tbs poet as a literary artist by those Northern Lights of Edinburgh during- the winter of 17S6-7. la the full blaze of these coruscations the poet tooii the step to which we owe this Commonplace Book. It was on April 9, 1787, a few days befsre Creech turned cut the Edinburgh first edition from the famous shop, the bsoth at the end of the Luckenbooths, and overlooking the Cross, where houest Allan had essayed to line the inside rather than thatch the outside of his townsmen's pates.

Then the poet secured "a pest folio MS. book, 13J inches bv S-k containing 240 pp. of unglazed, rather strong writing paper, bound in half -calf. So far from being tattered (as Scott Douglas had averred), it is in perfect condition. The price, 4s 3d.

is marked in the left hand corner of. the cover. Immediately below Burns has written R. Burns was bora 25 Jan 1759 See this Book pa note. The pages 1 to 100 were numbered in his own handwriting.

Pages 23-26 inclusive are wanting, but those before, and 27-40, are filled with holograph MSS." The description of the book here quoted is that given by Professor Jack in a series of most interesting papers contributed to Macmitlan's Magazhvi, 1879-80, now nearly 20 years ago. He tells how in regard to the book Burns practised a little of that mystification of which he was occasionally guilty. As early as April, 1787, he hints to Mr George Reid, of a certain "long letter, wherein I had taken to pieces rt. Honourables, Honour-ables and Reverends not a few but it, with many more of my written things, were stolen from my room, whieh terrified me from 'scaudinz my lips in ither folk's kail' again. "By good luck, tha fellow is gone to Gibraltar, and I trust in heaven he will go to the bottom for his pains." Cromek is more circumstantial, and tells that the thief was a fellow-lodger in tha Lawnmarket, who enlisted as a soldier.

In point of fact, Currie used and annotated the book for his 1800 editiou. Professor Jack has done permanent service to Burns students and to literature ii: general, not alone by his admirable reproduction, but by his exposure of the unwarrantable liberties taken by Currie with the MS. In the interval curiosity had been roused in regard to what Isaac Disraeli calls "a diary of the heart a narrative of characters andevents, aad a chronology of his emotions. Cromek, Lockhart, Allan Cunningham, were ail longing to see the mysterious papers in their entirety. At length the book carr.e into Mr Alexander Macinillan's hands his family still retain it and by him it was entrusted for publication to Professor Jack, who was moved thereto by a desire to correct art impression conveyed by Cunningham that the publication might injure the post's memory.

In this he has been perfectly successful. It should be said that Alexander Smith quoted from the MS. in editing the Golden Treasury Burns as long ago as 1S65, but-, without any just appreciation of its value. The book is unique as a revelation of a great author on his craftsman's side. To this aspect I do not think attention has ever been sufficiently drawn.

Burns has had many and able editors, bat, consciously or unconsciously, they are so influenced by the conventional in printing as to modernise the text, not so much in essentials and readings as iu little characteristic features, of no account with the general reader, but extremely significant to one honestly striving to master his author's methods of goiug to work. I have had the good fortune to be allowed to collate Professor Jack's reprint with the and I believe the results are fitted to teach much that is ef considerable value in the study of the poet's genius. Burns does not himself call his work a Commonplace Book. The title is misleading, for it is an academic rendering of the schoolmen's loci communes, topics ia common use or conclusions of common acceptance, hence our commonplace or trite. Thus.

Locke says "If I would put anything in ray commonplace book I find out a head to which I may refer it." It is a storehouse of all one has gathered in the course of reading or study. With Burns it is really a one which he organ, of ambitions. He was qnito conscious ot this when j)f, savs a figure or speech to use nis ipsissima verba, corrections ana an tnmic a security a lock and key at least equaB-y-seeare-tc the bosom of any friend whatever." But he knew his own eminently sociable temperament better than to really believe this. With me, making remarks is by no means a solitary pleasure. Burns liked to busy himself with plans for self study and artistic development, few or none 0: which ne uaa -cue gin- 1 1 -If.

J. mnar maSter-ef-facd finlh W. in the snrin of 17S7 he must have deliberately set himself to be a fine writer in English, and to emulate the Edinburgh literati aud wits." He measures himself in the Commonplace Book with gentleman whom he found writing at ease the school in which Scott was trained or prepared to patronise a ploughman poet and the resul was a series or reuecmons suggested by the characters and capacities of men like Glencairn, Blair, Dugald Stewart, Greenfield, Gregory, Creech.

If the'' naminc" of 'members.

ill events in its modern form, is duo to them, no onedreamea when the process began or was revived that it would ever be employed except in isolated esses and on one member at a time. 10 ws ot a comrjaratively tWMsale nse of the weapon, ior as all the Parnellite. members who happened. to be in the House at the time, including their, great liimsslf. made their minds to defy the Chair on one occasiou: refused to quit the chamber to take part in -a division, they had all to be proceeded against and suspsndeil, en Mac, to the number, I think, of over thirty It was a sufficiently childish display, no doubt, but a little more 'heroic in its aspect, and certainly more time-saving, than insistance on piecemeal supsnsions, one at a time, accompanied by comic damands to "send for the Horse Guards Two -other great scenes in the House of Commons in connection with Mr ParnalL are strongly impressed upon the memories of all who saw them.

Ono was when, after the publication by the Times of the famous letter which sought to connect the Irish leader with the party of force and violence, and which professed to have been written by him, Mr Parnell. stood up in his place and denied. all knowledge; of the document, yet unhappily managed by the very elaborateness of his explanation and a curious hesitation of manner to set an already hostile. House strongly, against him, and failed completely to produce the conviction which came later on that he was really the victim ot a great wrong. The other scene was that memorable one which came with the hour of his triumph, when the Times letters having been conclusively proved, to be forgeries, Mr Parnell Parnell entered the House to be tlie recipient oi one or uis wuiu and most enthusiastic welcomes ever given to mortal man.

It must have been well worth all the pain -and bitterness, with its sense of mingled injustice and humiliation, of the first scent', to have been the proud, triumphant, and disdainful hero of the second. Two. other remarkable incidents in' which individual Irish members took part ought not to go without mention, In the first of these the chief actor was Major O'Gormaii, one of the gentlest and most amiable souls that the House has ever known, but a perfect-Falstaff in appearance. His size was something tremendous, his girth past calculating, and when he indulged in a little exercise, Seven tlie most reining lima uuo tutat utterance of a kindly cheer for a friend, or ol a stern "No, no" to'an enemy, was quite sufficienthe had to- sit back in his seat with his flesh palpitating and quivering for quite a long period. So chivalrous was he that when he had" once found a friend he was like Mrs Micawber and would "never desert him," and it was this amiable trait in his character which led him, when Dr Iienealy impeached the conduct of Lord Chief-Justice Cockburn in connection with the Tichborne trial, to go all alone into the lobby in Dr Kenealy's support, so that when the result of the division was announced the House heard, amid inextinguishable laughter, that "the 'Aye' to the right was one," while "the 'Noes' to the left" were somewhere between four and five But the particular occasion to which I refer was when the then Secretary for War, Colonel Stanley now Earl of Derby was explaining the army estimates for the year.

Now Major O'Gorman bad a young relation in the army who he thought had been unjustly treated, and though be had tried to obtain redress for that young officer by the usual means of question and answer he "had altogether failed. So the gallant Major sorrowfully gave up the business as a bad job, but be nevertheless made up his mind, if not to have bis revenge, at all events to make his displeasure manifest. Of course it never occurred to him, however strong bis indignation, to do aught outrageous, or anything that an officer and a gentleman ought not to do, so be hit upon a plan entirely his own, which, to his own unbounded surprise, proved to be as successful as it was absolutely novel and unique. It was an -absurdly simple plan, and consisted only in cheering the Minister of State in the wrong places. When Colonel Stanley got up, armed with sheet upon sheet of figures and facts, he found himself confronted by Major O'Gorman, who sat on the Opposition side, looking as amiable and good-natured as ever, but with an added touch of resolution not often to be observed about him.

"I rise, sir," said Colonel Stanley, "to lay before this Committee." "Hear, hear," shouted Major O'Gorman, in his deepest bass. Tlia Minister looked astonished, but began again. I wish, sir, to submit the details" hear, hear came from the gallant Major acrain. in stentorian tones. Of course, the Chairman pointed out that this sort of applause, however well meant, was a little but Major O'Gorman remained firm.

He had. a right, he pithily declared, as a member of the House, to cheer any sentiment of which he approved, or anything else, and that right he meant to exercise. And esercise he did for some time, to the great embarrassment. ot Colonel Stanlev and the vast amuse ment of the rest of the House. The diflicnlty of the situation was that there was no precedent to arrolv to the case, and that its would have been a strong measure to declare mere ciieering out oi oraer.

-ine sequel is A dav or two afterwards Colonel Stanley came down, publicly announced that he had looked again into tne case ot tue young officer, ana had determined to order seme, relaxation, which had the effect of meeting all Major O'Sorman's desires, so, as the fairy tales tell ns, all the parties concerned were "happy for ever-after-wards." The other matter concerns what -is probably the most amusing incident' that has happened in the House of Commons for very many years, ana is narcuy nueiy no.oe surpassed in its comic effect. Curiously enough; it took place when the House sitting, out was in a state of suspended Everybody knows that there -comes a' period at every sitting, ssrnewhere between eight and nine o'clock at night, when the Speaker or Chairman, whichever happens to be presiding at the time, calls and quits the Chair, retiring from the Hauae for half an hour or so for a little needed refreshment. This interval of rest is also utilised by other members and officials in a similat fashion, and while it lasts the fioor of the.ehamber is usually left quite empty, and the only-occupants oi tne House are tne strangers. in the galleries Tip abovo. On one occasion the Sneaker retired just after -calling and thus placing technically "in possession of the House," one of the Cabinet Ministers of the day.

I think it was the Home Mr, afterwards Sir Richard, and now Viscount Cross, who had animportant Ministerjarnieasure to explain to the House. The Minister of eoursa, provided with an abundance of "notes." all written out in a nice round hand on small sheets of -very stiff paper, and. though: the sheets were unpaged, they were perfectly arranged in due sequence: When the Speaker retired ior his dinner the iviinister retired too, leaving his thirty or' forty pages of notes in quite, a respectable heap the of the big brassbound box upon the table which so. admirably serves the double purpose, of holding books and papers and giving Ministers something to thump in mementSvOi excitement when they are addressing the House1 this having a most exhilarating effect upon a vigorous and impulsive statesman.
