310 PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. [June 25, 1892.
THE AECHDEACON
ANSWERED.
[At the Annual Meeting of the
Curates' Augmentation Fund,
Archdeacon Kaye, of Lincoln,
urged the desirability of imposing
some limitation to the number
ordained to the Ministry of the
Church of England, as three-fifths
of the Clergy were in poverty.]
" On, sad indeed it is to
think,"
Ouoth good Archdeacon
Kate,
" That though our Clergy are
so 4 High,'
So low should he their pay !
" They fly to money-lenders'
lures,
To speculative chances;
Advancement they appear to
lack,
And so they get advances.
" This 1 Discipline of Clergy '
Bill
On us is rather rough ;
Surely the bills our tradesmen
bring
Are discipline enough!
" A fresh supply of Rectories
Must really soon be found ;
All would be square, if once
there were
Sufficient to go round.
" To get the Clergy out of
their
Pecuniary holes,
The sole and only cure I see
Would be—a Cure of Souls!
" 'One man, one Yicarage !'
—the cry
To stir a thoughtless nation;
But just at present let us try
Restricted Ordination! "

Mr. Henry Ikying.]

unfair advantage over the
other competitors Y Very few

testified to ill-repressed excitement.

place. " And looking uncommonly fit
too," says Francis George, Viscount
Baring; "not at all sure he won't,
after all, outlive Our Joe. At any
rate, he's in fine condition for the
little mill that's coming off."
What everyone gathered to hear was
Prince Arthur's views as to date of
Dissolution. He has, up to now,
successfully maintained attitude of
absolute ignorance that Dissolution is
even pending. Up to to-night the
blessed word on everyone's tongue has
not passed his lips. "When, a fort-
night ago, Mr. G. diplomatically
approached topic, the Prince, with
charmingly puzzled look, talked of
something else. Nearest approach he
can bring himself to make to topic, is
to refer to arrangements of public
business. This afternoon, when he
stood at Table, a ringing cheer went
ancis Lreorge- up from serried hosts of Ministeria-
lists; answered by closed-up ranks of Opposition. "Ha! ha!" said
Stuart, scenting the battle from afar, "that is the first challenge
and reply in the great fight. Soon as Balfour's finished I shall
take the Shoreditch 'bus, and look up my Constituents at Hoxton.
Prince Arthur, with eyebrows slightly raised,
stood waiting for opportunity to speak; evi-
dently marvelling at this unwonted and unac-
countable outburst of clamour. When it ceased,
he observed, quite incidentally, that perhaps
it would be convenient for him to make a state-
ment " as to prospects of concluding business
before termination of the Session." The Session,
note. Not the life of Parliament, nor anything
to do with so disturbing a thing as Dissolution.
Kept this up through long business statement;
only at conclusion accidentally stumbled on the
word, and then regarded the prospect as so
uninteresting and immaterial, that he could
not come nearer to its contemplation than an
interval of seven days. Not before the end of
one week, and not after the middle of another,
was as near as he thought it worth while to
approach such trifling contingency.
Business done.—A great deal.
Tuesday.—Quite touching to observe Squire
of Malwood's friendly interest in progress of
public Bills. Gorst, in arranging business of
Sitting, anxious not to appear too grasping, put
down only limited number of Bills on Orders.
"Why not put down all you've got?" the
Squire asks, with mildly benevolent glance
bent on Treasury Bench. "Supposing list is
