CHARIVARIA.

We are sorry to hear that the PREMIER is suffering from a troublesome Gough.

Poor Mr. ASQUITH, as though he had not already worries enough, is getting into trouble for sending an exclusive statement to The Times . He now stands convicted by his own party of being a Times server.

The Premier Magazine is announced for sale. Is this, we wonder, the Powder Magazine on which he has been sitting?

At one moment it began to look as if the Admiralty, after all, was going to change its mind and we were to have Grand Man[oe]uvres this year off the coast of Ireland.
