With his cliaracteristic disposi tion to oblige Sir iinmediately complied with the request and wrote an order iu the usual tenns aud addressec it thus, "To the Door Ceeper of the House of Komnions. " The person for whom it was intended discovered the errors in the spelling after he had gone 10 or 12 yards from the worthy baronet and turning back and running up to him said: "Oh, Sir , there is a slight ruistake in your order. Two let ters have been transposed. You have spelled 'keeper' with a c instead of a k and "coinmons' with a k instead of a c. " "That's all right, " was the an swer. " The doorkeeper will seetoit. He is sure to know which is which. "
