Even now parliamentary elections are not altogether tree from corruption. Worcester was for a time disfranchised after the last general election on account of the irregularities found to have been prevalent, and other constituencies bad a rough time before they were secure of their respective members. But the old time elections were altogether different. The popularity of the reform bill, which purposed the abolition of bribery, was by no means universal. In the Times of May 10, 1831, there is a story of a London police constable who asked his Inspector for leave to go into the country to vote for an anti-reform candidate. He explained that be would get £lO and his expenses for his vote, but complained that it was not then as in former times, when he bad had as much as £4O and never less than £25. "And if that reform bill passes it will be a sad loss to me and my brother freemen.” he added. King George 111. had his own methods as an election agent. Ou the eve of an election at Windsor in which 1 Admiral Keppel was the Whig candl- , date the king strolled into a silk mer'cer’s shop in the town and called out; “The queen wants a gown—wants a gown! No Keppel! No Keppel!”— London Answers. Masquerading In the Past. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Venice set the fashion in all matters of amusement and was a sort of combination of our Monte Carlo and Paris. Throughout the eighteenth century the Venetians were seized with a perfect mania for masquerading and gambling. Paris and London followed suit, and the two most popular amusements, both public and private, were wasqUi ,'udes and gambling saloons. People not only wore their masks or visors at balls, but it) the mall and the parks and the theaters. At length matters got to such a pass that when a police raid was made on a certain low dancing place in Soho and an order was given for every one to unmask what was the amazement of the police to find that at least a third of the company consisted of ladies and gentlemen of the highest aristocracy, some of whom bad even brought their daughters.—Loudon (Saturday Review
