HISTORIC SCENES.
Mrs. Jellyby,
When I entered Downing Street the first thing I saw was a dishevelled Child, who was crying loudly, with his neck fixed school railinge, while a between two Ritualist and a Unitarian, with the kindest intentions in the world, were endeavouring to drag him back by the legs. As I found (after pacifying him with a little moral: philosphy) that he was quite a Child in these matters, with a naturally large head, I thought that perhaps where such a head could go, the tail could follow, and men- tioned, that the best mode of extrication might be to push him forward. This idea was so favourably received by the Ritualist and the Unitarian that it was soon put into practice, and in another minute the Child was rescued from his peril, and lifted back over the railings.
After that, knowing that he would kill himself, if left alone, I took his hand, and entered the Colonial Office. The place was in a terrible state. Un ono stair a Water Bill was crying its eyes out, on another an | Irish Coercion Act was scratching and tear- EVERAL WELL-FURNITURED ing its own clothes to pieces, while on all BIG ROOMS.

I climbed the stairs, leading the Child by the hand, and, when I came to a door marked Borriobnola-Għa, knocked timidly, Knowing that behind it I should come upon Mr Chamberlain. In another minute I was in his presence, and at that moment quite a plump little War Office Reform, who had followed us up the stairs, fell over backwards, and went bumpety-bumpety- bump right from the top to the bottoni..

This application of the subject was so nexpected to me that I was at a loss how
to receive it. I hinted that the BourS →→→→

Indeed, sir?'
*Certainly with precaution, said Mr. Chamberlain. You minggo into Birming ham, without precaution, and have your views on Education misrepresented, You may go into Birmingham, with precaution, and never have your views on Education misrepresented. Just so with the Boers.'
I said No doubt,' I meant as to Birminghain.
'If you would like,' said Mr Chamberlain, handing a paper to me, to look over my cheme for concentrating the whole atten tion of the British Empire on Africa, to the total exclusion of all other subjects ander the sun, perhaps you will glance over this scheme while I finish a letter I am now dictating to my son, who will act in Eng- laud for his father during the grand tour round Africa.'

If the Army is waiting, and the Navy is waiting, and the taxpayer is wait- ing, and the Board of Trade is waiting, why shouldn't the Education Question wait too? Don't tell me that there are things more important than Africa. Don't tell
me that England is to be weighed in the same pair of scales with that tremendous continent. Don't, please ! '
I ventured to suggest that perhaps some- one else might look after the home depart- ment while Mr Chamberlain concentrated his attention on Africa, but ovon Arthur pooh-poohed the iden
