MR PIPER'S GREAT CLIMAX.
Mr Petrach Piper, the candidate-so his friends declare—had been giving the Opposition " particular pepper " as, in his final speech before the polling-day, he expatiated on their many iniquities while in office. How differently statesmen on the other side of the House would have acted under like conditions ! And as he steadily worked up to his carefully prepared peroration, " you might have heard a pin drop" in the crowded hall. "If Banner-Campbelhnan —" he thundered. (Cheers and laughter.) "If Banbell-Cammerman —" (Great applause^L, —" (Yells of delight. " Oh, I say—a cannibal!") "If Canner-Bumbleman —" (Meeting wildly enthusiastic. " Try again, old chap —never say die!") "If Bamble-Can —. Oh, dash it all!" And amid deafening applause, Mr Piper resumed his seat.
