that of the Mole in our_ Second Vol., p. 225.; _and that of the Owl, in

CABAL.--_Our Correspondent on the origin of this word is referred to_ "N. &
Q.," Vol. iv., pp. 413. 507.; Vol v., pp. 139, 520., _where he will find
enough to satisfy him that it was not formed from the initials of the five
chief ministers of Charles II._

baffled research. The question was asked in our_ Second Volume, p. 496. _We

postpone until next week several other valuable papers._

"Erse."
