From a hotel advertisement:--

"EXCELLENT CUISINE. SEPARATE STABLES."

_West-Country Paper._

The WISE KING must have had a presentiment of this arrangement when he

wrote: "Better a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a stalled ox and

hatred therewith."

"The Premier (Sir Alexander Peacock) said that many years

ago, when the world rang with the atrocities of Turks, Rev.

Dr. Parker startled the whole world when, in a fiery address

on those awful atrocities which were visited on the

Christians, he cried, 'Dod damn the Sultan.' Now, when they

heard of the cruelties and indescribable sufferings which had

been visited upon the innocent people in order to satisfy the

ideas of one man they could say, 'Kod damn the Kaiser.'

(Great cheers)."--_Sydney Daily Telegraph._

Strong language for a Premier! But the printer has done his best to

tone it down.
