WHAT IS A "MIDDLE-AGED MAN ?"—A. friend
of Mr. Childers is quite angry with ns for calling
him a middle-aged man. He is, ho says, only thirty-six,
We thought he had been four years older, and readily ad-
mit that An the present House of Commons, filled as it is
with old and middle-aged notabilities, a man of thirty.siz
is really youthful. He is only thirteen years older than
Pitt when he became Premier. Mr. Childers was returned
for Pontefract without opposition, and made a quiet, sensible
speech, in which he said that the Government till a very
little while ago did not know whom it had for friends on the
Continent, but he hoped " prospects were brightening,,, for
"we certainly knew that between this country and France
the u'ralice
the same good feeling exists as heretofore."--htipecta ton

broken from the body. It is a
wonder bow it reached
