Before the recess had really commenced, all kinds of
rumours were afloat as to future political movements.
Sir Stafford Northcote was going to India, Sir William
Stirling-Maxwell and no end of other Ministerialists
were about to be made peers, Mr. Disraeli had recom-
mended himself as the next K.G., &c. Then
came a story that Mr. Reed, the Chief Constructor
of the Navy, having a wish to get into Parliament, had
resigned his appointment, that he might contest the
borough of Pembroke. Nearly all the papers re-echoed it
" on authority," adding that their lordships of the Admi-
ralty had refused to accept Mr. Reed's resignation. One
by one these stories have crumbled. The story about Mr.
Reed, however, was so very circumstantial that one can
hardly understand how any mistake could have been made.
Yet now the Standard announces that Mr. Reed never
resigned, as stated. As Oldbuck says, " How the world
is given to lying!"
At the half-yearly meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce, upon the occasion of the presentation of an
address to Mr. Horsfall, who retires from the representa-
tion of the borough, the chairman expressed his regret
that political exigencies had prevented the passing of the
bill for the amendment of the bankruptcy law. He also
hoped that the report of the Royal Commissionon Railways
would soon be considered, and, among several other matters,
alluded to the proposed reduction of local postage, for
the conveyance of samples through the post. The feeling
of the meeting seemed to be with him, and mercantile men
are generally looking forward to the next Parliament for
some wholesome reforms as soon as the great questions of
confidence or no confidence and the fate of the Irish
Church are settled.
Apropos to the increase of railway fares which has
recently taken place on certain railways, Mr. Ruskin gives
his opinion on the whole subject. He says : " Neither
the roads nor the railroads of any nation should belong to
any private persons. All means of public transit should
be provided at public expense, by public determination
where such means are needed, and the public shouid be
its own shareholder.' Neither road nor railroad nor
canal should ever pay dividends to anybody. They
should pay their working expenses, and no more. All
dividends are simply a tax on the traveller and the
goods, levied by the person to whom the road or canal
belongs, for the right of passing over his property. And
this right should at once be purchased by the nation, and
the original cost of the roadway—be it of gravel, iron, or
adamant—at once defrayed by the nation, and then the
whole work of the carriage of persons or goods done for
ascertained prices, by salaried officers, as the carriage of
letters is done now." Mr. Ruskin adds that he believes
that if the votes of the railway proprietors were taken
they would en masse he glad to receive back their original
capital, and give up all claim to revise the fares.
A TRUE ANSWER.—A hardy Irish seaman, who
had escaped from one of the recent shipwrecks upon our
coast, was asked by a good lady how he felt when the
waves broke over him. " Wet, ma'am—very wet," he
replied.
