les OF THE DUKE OF
WELLINGTON.

A CAPITAL SATIRE When the Duke of
Wellington was elevated to the Premiership,
IN 1888, the London p pers teemed with
very substantial and absurd accounts Of his
Grace's habits, in ridicule of which the fol-

THE Duke Of Wellington generally rises
at about eight. Before he gets out of bed he
commonly pulls off his nightcap, and while
he is dressing he sometimes whistles a tune,
and occasionally damns his valet. The Duke
of Wellington uses warm water in shaving,
and lays on a greater quantity Of lather than
ordinary men, While shaving he chiefly
breathes through his nose, with view, as is
conceived, of keeping the suds out of HE

narily the same white hose he rode at Wat.
erloo, and which was eaten by the hounds at
Strathfeldsaye HIS hair is of chestnut
color. Before the Duke goes out he has his
hat and g'oves brought 10 him by servant.
The Duke of Wellington always puts his hat
on his head, and his gloves on his hands.
The Dukes daily manner of mounting his
horse is the same that it was on the morning
of the glorious battle of Waterloo. His
Grace first takes the reign in his left hand,
which he lays on the horses name, he then
puts his left foot in the stirrup, with spring
brings his body up, and his right leg over the
body of the animal by the way of the tail,
and thus places himself in the saddle; he
then drops his right foot into the stirrup,
puts his horse 10 walk, and seldom falls
off, being an admirable equestrian. When
acquaintances and friends salute the Duke
in the street, such is the affabiIity ttat he
either bows, touches his hat, or recognizes
their civillty in some way or other. The
Duke of Wellington very commonly says,

days and Fridays, the Dukes master comes
to teach him his Political Economy. The
Duke makes wonderful progress in his
studies, and his instructor is used pleasantly
to observe, that the Duke gets on like
house on fire. At the Treasury the Duke
Of Wellington does nothing but think. He
sits on leather library chair, with his legs
on the table. When thus in profound thought,
he very frequently closes his eyes for hours
together, and makes an extraordinary and
appalling noise through his nose. Such is
the Duke Of Welington's devotion to bust.
ness that he eats no luncheon. In the House
OF Lords, the Dukes manner of proceeding is
thls-he walks up 10 the fireplace, turns his
back to 1t, separates the skirts of his coat,
tossing them over the dexter and sinister
arms, puts his hands into his pockets, and
so stands at ease. The characteristic of the
Dukes cratory, is brevitv, the next thing
to silence. AS brevity is the soul of wit, it
may confidently be affirmed that in this
quality Lord North and Sheridan were fools
WEN compared with him.
