Curzon and Qaxitt.

Once in the house of commons, when George CurzOn was making some de- fense as to alleged harsh treatment by Turks of Cretan prisoners, he was in- terrupted by query from MT. Davitt, Were these prisoners handcuffed p Quick as lightning came the reply, "Yes. and some honorable gentlemen ought to be no strangers to handcuffs." 1" This was of course the signal for vio- lent parliamentary tempest. A day or two after MT. Curzon went up to Swift MacNeill and expressed his sorrow at having used the expression and his de- sire to apologize for it in the most public manner. "Why," he said, '1 thought the interruption came from you and that you, of course. would not mind. I was mortified when I dis covered that it was Dayitt who had made the remark. Of course would not be capable of joking on the sub- ject of Imprisonment and handcuffs with a man who had endured nine long years of penal servitude. ."-London Globe.
