Melbourne and the Garter.

Lord Melbourne seems to have held
the title holder in legitimate contempt.
The London Chronicle reminds us that
once when that statesman was invited
by his secretary to grant an interview
to an importunate applicant for a title
he exclaimed YEARLY: What the mis-
chief does he want now? Does he want
garter for the other leg?" Melbourne
himself was pressed by Queen Victoria
to accept the blue ribbon, but he de-
clined. "a garter" he explained, "may
attach to us somebody of consequence
whom nothing else can reach, but what
would be the use of my taking it?
cannot bride myself"
