No politician ever had a grant-er belief in the ora,torical virtues of poetry than Mr. Jmepih Chamber- lain. As a boy Mr. Chamberlain had a. passion for poetry, and it was his favorite study even whea, as a email boy, he attendzd the little preparatory school in Catnberwell Grove, which was kept by the Misses The famous statesman once coa- fessed to a friend that at the be- ginning at his, political career he made a practice of jotting down in a n,ecrdrandum-lrc,ok any little verses he came act-35a which he thought might be useful to quote in his speeches. Whether this little menuharndurtt-bcA is still in exis- tence it is difficult to any. but a perusal of Mr. Chamberlain's speech-es during his Shannon?- ctr- reer rin cals many interesting facts concerning his favorite poets. MR. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN. Uniike the late Sir William Hart ( court, a pustmaster in the art ci classical quotation. and such men as Gladetcme, Canning and Peel, who were fond of airing their know- ledge of Homer, Virgil mud Horace in public, Mr. Chamberlain found inspiration in more popular verve. Humorous Quolalions. At the same time Mr. Chamber- lain was not averse to humorous quotations. and "The BUlow Pa- pers" furnished him with many apt lines. One of his bsvrorit4t quota- tions in his early days was the ful- lowing '. Another favorite, which was sup- posed to be extracted from "The Biglow Papers," was '. "There ain't no 1ahel on a man I'd road. An' if there was I'd stick to this unUilin' plan-- A follows what he does." A perusal, however, of that en- tertaining work fails to reveal these lines, and one can only come to the conclusion that Mr. Chamberlain occasionally supplied himself with his own poetical quotations. Mage Use of Pinarore. On one occasion Mr, Chamberlain made use of "Pinaicre" in the fol- lowing stanza '. m. "on.
