VERSE AND CHORAL SUMMING-UP.
[Of a recently protracted discussion in the Times on "Anglican Orders," set to the air of what was once upon a time a popular song, entitled Billy Barlow.]
Of my re-appearance, My friends, don't complain, I've turned up before, I shall turn up again! We are where we were When we started, and so For awhile bid good-bye To your William Barlow. O dear! Lackaday oh! What a puzzling old party was Bishop Barlow!
Two "General" Favourites.
The one, Sir Bob Reid, Q.C., M.P., "to be Attorney-General"; the other, Frank Lockwood, Q.C., M.P., "to be Solicitor-General." Reid and Right. Commercial value, one "Bob" and a "Frank," i.e. One-and-tenpence the pair.
Future Fame.—Mr. T. E. Ellis, M.P., "speaking at Colwyn Bay" (unkind of him, this, for what has Colwyn Bay done to him? Why not address Colwyn Bay personally instead of "speaking at" C. B.), spoke at the same time "at" the House of Lords. "Were the wishes of the people to be continually thwarted by an hereditary and irresponsible Chamber?" That's the style! Twopence coloured. Henceforth Mr. T. E. Ellis, from being Nobody in particular, will now be known as "Somebody Ellis."
