• Gulliver Joe. By Jonathan Quick, Dean of St. Rattricic's.

(Isbister and Co. Is. net.)—This is a skit on Mr. Chamberlain, whether by a friend or a foe it is not easy to say. Certainly if it is from a friend it is one of the "precious balms" which the Psalmist feared might break his head. As to Mr. Chamber- lain's foes, they are so savage and so unfair that one would not care to be taken, even for a moment, to be one of them. The satire is clever enough, though we do not see how "Dean

• Quick" works out his parallel. It is easy to make out the -" midgets" in England, but why the " giants " at the Cape ?
