In the first number just issued, the editor, Thomas Gibson Bowles, a former member of parliament, per- mits the cat to escape from the bug in giving the market price of a peer- age. "One person," he says, '"'gave £50,000 to a party fund, and was subsequently made a baronet; an- other gave £150,000 and then £200-, 006 for a peerage." The list of hon- ors for the last twelve years shows that it is almost always the rich man who possesses that kind of merit which obtains a peerage. One gen- tleman, to whom had been promised a baronetcy, was kept long in wait- ing. When at last the coveted title came a friend congratulated him on his accession to the inferior brand of aristocracy, and was asked if he had not been obliged to pay for the hon- or. "Yes, damn 'em," was the frank reply; "they drew on me for £10, €06."--~Indlanapolis News.
