THE HOUSE LAUGHS.
(Special to the “ Star.”) WELIhffITOS’. July 16. ! There la more than one way o.f saying* that a. statement has been ! made contrary to tact. Colonel Sell, Independent memj her for Bay of Islands, has discovered one such method. In the Bouse of Representatives to-night, Colonel Bell stated that 2Cr Forbes I had said that the Government was | being kept in power by the voter* of three Liberals. “ That, uir,” he said, “ was the statement of a. peeudologist.” (X.aughter.) A. Voice: What is that? Colonel Bell: It is a descendant 1 | of a gentleman whose name has been handed down to us in Biblical history right throughout the centuries. If you want further Inf or- ■ motion you had better go to the librarian to-mor-row and look up the dictionary. (Laughter.)
