He then offered Bright any post he
wished to occupy, and the statesman Sc
lecled the lowest In point Of salary the

said, "he knew something about it."
When, according to custom, he was
taken down to Windsor to be sworn in

had been prepared. While Mr. Bright
was at luncheon, Il page came to say tc
