ILLUSTRATED MISCELLANY.
Mr. John Burns recently stated in the House of Commons that, in order to demonstrate the evil of indiscriminate charity, he went straight from the King's levee to the Thames Embankment and received an allowance of soup and a pound of bread, which were being served out to a'l applicants, without inquiry as to their necessities. The "Graphic" cartoonist suggests that Mr. Burns need not be surprised if one fine morning, returning from his soup kitchen, he sees some of the unemployed on their way to a St. James's palace levee or going" to luncheon with the Prime Minister.
