"HAPPINESS IN——FOLKESTONE."
["He said, 'Go and be——' I accordingly went and stayed at Folkestone."
See last Thursday's "Daily News;" Evidence in the De Walden Case.]
Thrice happy Town Council! when pestered to pave,
Remember this fact that her Ladyship mentions.
Intend, but do nothing; your rates you can save
By paving your streets with the best of intentions.
Hitherto Unreported.—Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Asquith received deputations on the Eight Hours' Question last Friday. The chief speakers were Mr. Parrot and Mr. Onions. Mr. G. observed that in all his vast experience, frequently as he had tasted a savoury dish of rabbit and onions, yet the combination of Parrot with Onions was something really novel. Perhaps Mr. Parrot would be useful at any bye-election, and would give them the state of the poll. As to Mr. Onions, well, he (Mr. G.) hadn't words of welcome sufficiently strong for him. Why hadn't he brought "Brer Rabbit" with him? In approaching the Eight Hours' Question, no time must be lost, so he would at once proceed to business.
