It would take Mr.Chamberlain a long time to do so graceful an act to anybody else.
[Sidenote: "Ugander."] But on the Monday night nobody need have been very particular as to what seat he occupied; for nothing could have been much more dull than the whole proceedings.

I make only one or two observations upon Uganda.

And first, why is it that so few members of the House of Commons can pronounce that word correctly?
Mr.Chamberlain,--if there be anything illiterate to be done, he is always prominent in doing it--Mr.
Chamberlain never mentions the word without pronouncing it "Ugand_er_." Mr.Courtney for a long while did not venture on the word; and therein he acted with prudence.

It is a curious fact with regard to Mr.Courtney that when he first came into the House he had a terrible difficulty with his "h's." In his case it was not want of culture, for he was a University man, and one of the most accomplished and widely-read men in the House of Commons.

But still there it was; he was weak on his "h's." He has, however, by this time overcome the defect.
