Will come up smiling soon, surviving failure;
And an admiring ring will shout once more,
(Pardon the Cockney rhyme!) "Advance, Australia!!!"
The Arms (and Legs) of the Isle of Man.—At a discussion on Sunday-trading, one day last month, there was an attempt made to raise a question as to breach of privilege. The Speaker, however, stopped this at the outset, advising them that they "hadn't a leg to stand upon." Very little advantage in having three legs on such an occasion. The odd part of these Manx-men's legs is that they are their arms. It was originally selected as pictorially exhibiting the innocent character of the Manx Islanders. For their greatest enemy must own that "the strange device" of the three legs is utterly 'armless.
