His impulsive and sometimes indiscreet utterances (says a London correspondent) aro a deep joy to his opponents, if occasionally embarrassing to his friends in England, Tho Westminister Gazette, for instance, publishes the following imaginary telegram, which it "understands has been received at the Colonial Office," but whioh " will not be published except in this the Right Hon. R. J. S*dd ! _. —Quite agree as to men not living by bread alone (it sounds like a quotation, but have only the summarised report). The physique of the race largely depends upon mutton. My Government shops will soon be open in all large centres.
