Some Ancient wit.

In Passages From the Diaries ol
Mrs. Philip Lybbe Porrys there are
some amusing chronicles of eighteenth
century small beer. For example.
"Princess Amelia asked remarkably
tall young man what he was intended
for. 'The church, said he. 'Oh, sir,
you must mistake, said the princess;
1T was certainly for the steeple.
Hitherto this retort has been attribut-
ed to Curran. Mrs. Porrys also notes
a new Pope pun. One day Sir Walter
Blunt's father was in Popo's company,
and talking of pupning. Pope said
that was species of wit so tridingly
easy that he would answer to make
one on any proposed subject otfhand,
when lady in the company said:
We'll, Mr.. Pope, make one on keel
hauling He instantly replied: That,
madam, is indeed putting man under
hardship. '-Argonaut.

Keeps No Record of Its transactions.

One of the most extraordinary fea-
lures of the British Cabinet is the fact
that its transactions are never record
ed. What is done or said there lives,
perhaps, i'll the memory of the men
who are present, but not book is
kept nor line written as to what is
done. Acts speak for themselves, and
cabinet is held responsible by the
people OF this country for what it does.
The only other person concerned is
the Queen, and she learns what has
taken place from the communication
which it is the duty Of every Prime
Minister to send her rs soon as the
proceedings are closed.
Occasionally cabinet council wit
nesses 'scene." The incident,
however, is never of an exciting char
acter. If a minister finds himself out
OF touch with the rest of his colleagues
and resolves to resign, he intimates
in quiet way that he will hand in his
resignation. 1t is these little differ
ences of opinion shown at the secret
meetings of Great Britain's Ministers
that would make the presence of re-
porter thereat so valuable to history.
