Also I have found other things blue. Some time the sea is pale blue. Some time the milk is pale blue. And one english says to me, "The sea was rough and the wind blue," but this not can I understand. The his friends say he likes chaff. _Diavolo_, what taste! But perhaps the chaff is much helpful for the digestion, like the english brown bread, which some brave men eat. The his friends say also, "He chaffs till all is blue." Perhaps when one eats the chaff the eyesight is altered. It is much curious. There are other things blue in England. There are "the blues." One my friend says to me that this phrase is the french _ennui_. Then I have not it seen yet, for it is always _festa_ since our arrival. I have heard that the blues are at Oxford and at Cambridge, above all at the College of Girton. But the evening past I saw the blue the most beautiful. Ah, the exquisite eyes! Ah, _la bellissima signorina inglese!_ so graceful, so courteous, so beautiful! And the her eyes were blue, so blue! Never have I seen a colour so sweet. The sea at Napoli, the sky at Palermo, the lake at Bellagio--it seems to me that they are grey and ugly when I think to the her eyes. Ah, Signor _Punch_, Her is a man, Her can love, Her, I know it, admires the beauty of the women! So to her I tell that those blue eyes have hit the heart of the italian. Not in Italy, but in England, one sees the blue the most divine. Her I beg to accept the my compliments and I have the honour to say myself. Her Devotedest Servant, ANDREA DORIA DANDOLO VESPUCCI-COLOMBO. * * * * * ORDER! ORDER! ["Colonel NORTH bases his appeal for support on the plea that he will see to it that West Leeds gets its full share of whatever work may be going."--_Leeds Mercury._] O "dark and true and tender is the NORTH!" And wondrous service to West Leeds he'll render; _He_'ll see, when Government work is going forth, West Leeds shall have its chance--at least to tender. "Orders are heaven's first law." That is the kernel Of the "dear Colonel's" creed; and it contents Those who to Governments raise the cry eternal Of "Give your orders, Gents!" * * * * * ECHOES FROM THE POLLS. Elected am I? Well, I am really much obliged. Oh, certainly, shall be truly delighted to do anything in my power. Fancy in these hard times that it is a little difficult to increase a subscription list. Only too pleased, but must be rather careful not to infringe the Bribery Acts. Truly intend to live up to my opinions. Would not alter them for worlds. Cannot recall everything I said during the heat of the election, and probably was imperfectly reported. Do not claim any more liberty of action than to obey the dictates of my conscience. Afraid cannot adequately represent every phase of political opinion. Will give as much satisfaction in Westminster as practicable.
