"A PECULIAR PLACE."
M.P. ON PARLIAMENT.
" Parliament is a most peculiar place," said the Mayor of Wellington, 'Mr. R. A. Wright, M.P., when speaking in humorous vein to the students of Wellirigton College. " Every man who goes in with great ideas finds that it is a plaoe for humbling him and taking the pride out of him. On the floor of the House the members fight like Kilkenny cats, but in the lobbies they are on the most friendly terms. I hare Been only one fight in the lobby since I have been there, in Parliament you cannot call a man a liar. What you can say is that he has used a ' terminological inexactitude.' "
