CLARET DID THE BUSINESS.
That win© 13 not without power to make a Parliamentary reputation is proved in the case of Lord Carnarvon — of two centuries ago. He had never before spoken in the House of Lords ; but " having been heated with wine, and more excited to display his abilities by the Duke of Buckingham, was resorved before he went up to speak upon any subject that might offer itself." He did so, and made an oration that astounded the House for its humour and good sense. The subject was that of the impeachment of Lord Treasurer Danby. It displeased the Duke of Buckingham, who had expected an attack on the Lord Treasurer. "The -man is inspired," said the • Duke, " and claret has done the business."
