Mr. LAURENCE KETTLE, as quoted by _The Irish Volunteer_ and re-quoted by _The Dublin Evening Mail_ (and they may share the glory between them):-- "Those gentlemen of the army could be described by the poet Milton as the Oiled and Curley Assyrian wolves." However, it is no good going to the Zoo to look for these in the Wolf House. Stay at home quietly and read "Maud" and "The Destruction of Sennacherib," and then you will understand how MILTON would have plagiarised TENNYSON and BYRON in one line if he had only lived long enough. * * * * * "When Mr. Asquith came in he was greeted with Opposition shouts of 'Ipswich' and 'Where's Masterman?' Mr. Asquith said--The Government adhered to decision not to take part officially in Panama Exposition."--_Star._ If Mr. ASQUITH wishes to be a success in the House he must improve his powers of repartee. At present his back-answers are entirely lacking in snap. * * * * *
