Parliamentary Reporters aiui Ora tors.

Recent numbers of the

Magazine

Gentleman's

give some curious ahd inter

esting particulars of the early lives of distinguished Englishmen. One writer/discoursing of "Some Lost Papers,'! recounts the contents of the

Eton Miscellany

Eton Miscel

in 1827 ifr was really not until 1840 that ho made any impression as a writer, and then in an entirely different walk to that which he selected in his eighteenth year at Eton. Has Disraeli ever lost any papers, I wonder? He has lost no time, that is certain and the profession of letters was ennobled when he stood forward and addressed tbe House of Commons as Premier of England." LITERABY MEN BEGItTIXG AS REPORTERS

Another writer, whose article is enti tied "In the Gallery," speaks of tbe rise and growth, of parliamentary reporting as follows: "What irony there is in a history! If the ghosts of Cave and Woodfall, of Perry and his corps of reporters, still lioger on the back benches of the reporters' gal lery, as the shade of Canning is said to linger round the Speaker's chair, how they must smile at the caprice bjr which a handful ot" eerai-literary spite, taking note3 in their hats, and afterward writ* ing them out by the flickering light of bar parlor, over a pot ofportor or a gla£3 of brandy and water, has been develop* ed into one of the most powerful estatos of the realm! When the history ol' the English press is written as it ought to be, uot in bits and scraps of personal biography about Irish reporters and Scptch editors, but as a great social and political institution, people may lock, and look in vain, through tile pages of Macaulay for any more striking and suggestive illustration of our progress in popular notions of government, and, I may add, iu the gentler arts and amenities

eloquent & genk» 'Take poetry. TMre ato Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Thomas Noon Talfourd. These are the only poets that I can call to mind on the sjatir -of the moment but they repr^ent a frost in themselves. In the literature of ar^ and science it is enough to refer to r.

S. C. Hall, the editor of the

1827, and describes the young authors who contributed to that magazine Among theBe were Wm. E. Gladstone, then in his eighteenth year A. H. Hal lam, whose death Tennyson mourns Sir James Uolville.Jand Selwyn, now Bfshop of Kew Zealand

The reviewer expresses the hope that

Here and there wa

may perhaps discover a scintillation of ihe peculiar genius of the writers but take Gladstone's work for. example it bear* no evidence of .the embryo power which was to develop in the future. Ho was the first editor of the

Miscellany,

and

his opening address .smacks of an early attraction toward the field of politics.' The heading of Gladstone's second Introductory address was "New Members of the Cabinet,'' and. he remarked: "Though my superscription 13 alarm jngly political, I can assure my readers that the contagion has extended no further. I love, like somo other people, to give to my proceedings an air of im portance and those whom I shall now mention aro simply companions whom I have admitted into my cabinet, to aid me in conducting those weighty affairs in which I have been, am,and hope to continue enga^

The writer says: "Mr. Gladstone's prose throughout is weak, affected and school boyish, interlarded with much Latin his poetry sometimes rises to a high order of merit but you fail to trace the slightest glimpse of that financial acumen and those brilliant political powers of oratory which shono with such" conspicuous radiance when he may be said to have annihilated the Derby ministry, in 1852, by his criticism of the Disraeli budget. Although he was editor of the

politi

cal life, tbau is to be found in the rise and growth of our newspaper.press. To report a sp«ecb in the House of Commons for the papers in the days of Speaker Onslow was a species of treason against the unwritten law of Parliament. Nearly all the reports that we have of the speeches of Fcx and Pitt are surreptitious reports. Several of tbe more famous of these speeches we know, from the confessions of tbe reporters themselves, to be worse than surreptitious, for they are fictitious, the concoctions of the reporters themselves. 'Verbatim reports of the speeches made in this House! It is a conspiracy to make Parliament contemptible in the oyes of the nation.' That is the li?bt in which parliamentary reports were looked upon by our representatives less than a century ago They declared the reports of the

Gentleman

sv liBrougham. in theearly part of his career

be an insult to. the House. Wyndham pronounced them highly indecorous. The Squires anathematized the reporters. The Speaker lectured them at the .. .bar. The

tliem-

was called to order for speaking of the reporters and on the very eve of the establishment of popular poorer by tbe Reform bill of,.32, the House of Lords marked their s"ense of an insult thrown out by the against one of their order by itttning out a whore troop of genff&nen of the press. The peers looked upon the press then pretty much in the light that they still look upon poachers. "To-day they dine with them "at

Willis' Rooms, under the presidency of a royal Duke, and toast the press as the fourth estate* "I know no singlo profession that in the coursi of the past forty or fifty years has, considering its own numbers, "produced a more distinguished grdup of men than the parliamentary reporters. Poetry, law, literature and science, have all replenished their ranks from the gallerv and the names of most of these men are

Art JfourrMl,

and Dr. Forbes Winslow. Richard Q/afor Shiel may stand as the representative of oratory. It is in the law hnd tha literature of imagination that We find the most distinguished reamer of parliamentary reporters. At the head of th'e list stands

Main John Campbell, Lord High Chance Hor Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice Talfourd stand by his side and I could select.more than one name from the present list of judges in Westminster Hall to bracket with these. There are dozens of men at the bar who began their career in the Reporters Gallery. In literature I need only refer to Charles Dickens, Shirley Brooks and W. H. Russell. Editors the Gallery has produced by the score and several'of these havo attained the highest points in their profession—the chairs of the

Times, Daily News, Morning

Post, Morning Advertiser,

of the

and, in its day,

Morning Chronicle.

Of courte, with most of these men reporting was merely tno occupation of leisure hours. They were waiting for briefs, waiting for publishers. Reporting was to. them what Mr. Gladstone once called *a profession of transition.' It was not the business of their lives. It is that to many still, though not to the extent it was formerly You may still, perhaps, find in the Gallery Campbells and Talfourds, puisne judges and chief justices, men of genius who have yet to make their mark in literature, as Charles Dickens and Shirley Brooks have done. Many of these men spend their mornings reading up for the bar, or in the courts of Westminister Hall. Here and there you may find a contributor to our magazices. 'London Correspondents' are here by the dozen. And supposing a man has stamina in him for the work, what training is there equal to a life of three or four sessions iu tbe Gallery for the higher work of journalism, for the courts, and for literature But of course there's the rub. Only men in the prime of health and mental vigor are equal to the task. Long hours of close and exhausting work, work that often extends more than half through the night, in an enervating atmosphere, with all your fac ulties of observation, memory and reflec tion on the stretch, will try the hardest constitution. "A perfect parliamentary repoiter ought to be like Macaulay, a book in breeches. He ought to be on par in point of information and reading with the highest culture of the Houte. He ought to°know the ine and outs of every topic of discussion—finance, Indian government, foreign politics, ecclesiastical and civil law and histoTy.

He ought to be quick enough with his

he^mav be forgiven for saying that "any I pencil to take every word of orators like reeulttr magazine editor in the present or Gladstone, Disraeii and Lowe. He ought I to-have the wit to see the point of their

the past would have rejected the whole of those contributions which they con templated With such pride, when they formed the irresponsible writing staff of the

keenest and most subtle allusion, and to see it in a moment. He ought not to boggle over a bit of Latin or Greek, piusBge from Homer, Virgil os Horace And, to crown all^JwLpught to ba able to write oat his copy as legibly as small pica and as expeditiously as a telegraph nee die. Some of them occasionally make terrible hash of the speeches. The Bish op of Ely says they systematically omit the point of all his arguments, and misrepresent many of his statements. They used to make Macaulay talk frightful nonsonse. They once made him trace the principle of our statute of limitation from the legislation of the Mexicans and Peruvians and then, perhaps, by way of varying the monotony of his historical theory,irom the 'Pandects of the Bonares. They once made Lord Derby call Mr Gladstone the'Polyphemus of the liberal party. One day this session they lower ed the price oi the funds an eighth per cent, by the misrepresentation of a lew words of Mr. Ward Hunt's upon the Abyssinian estimates and a day or two a/o a profe:8or of Oxford set all his uni versity friends aghast by the off-hand and compendious assertion, through the

Times,

'that natural morality was superior

to tho morality of any religion, Protestant or Roman Catholic'^-a perversion of the very simple statement in the House of Commons, 'that natural morality was superior to the morality of any priest, either Protestant or Roman Catholic.'

PARLIAMENT ART SPEAKERS.

"Yet, take them all in all, tbe parlia mentary 'reports of our daily papers are marvelous in amplitude and accuracy.— There is nothing like them either in France or America. To take a single il lustration. The

Times

of Friday, the

27th of June, gave up no less than thirty live of its columns to the parliamentary debates of the previous night, and not single speaker afterwards wrote to cor rect a syllable of tbe report. Yet the speakers themeelves are frequently any thing but perfect elocutionists. Thev fpeak sometimes with their backs to the gallery they speak, many of them, in low, slipshod and hesitating manner.— Lord Derby, Lord Cairns, and Lord Gran v'ille, as a rule, speak distinctly enough You may hear every syllable they have to say yet you must be apt with your pencil to tabo all you hear. But Lord Russell and Lord Gray hum and hah hesitate and hang over a word or phrase, talk loosely and often inaudibly Mr. Gladstone, generally speaks appar ontly in a torrent and wbirlwiud, of passion. Pale and haughty, he stands at the table and pours out a stream of thought and passion in long sweeping sentences. His vehement spirit finds an apt echo in a clear and mu sical enunciation. Mr. Disraeli speaks in quieter tones but every word is "audi hie, and every sentence is perfect. Mr, Bright'a masculine sense finds fitting ex pression in magnificent rhetoric. He has a powerful voice and be uses if like prima do^na. He is, to my thinking, the most perfect and artistic speaker in the House of Commons. Sir Roundell Pal mer and Mr. Coleridge speak in an e^sy. flowing and graceful style and as they always keep the bouse at attention, you cau bear all they have to say. But Mr Lowe ie the terror of the gallery. He is none of the ablest and cleverest men in Parliament, but as a speaker he is one of the most annoying. He speaks very fast, very indistinctly, and very irregularly. His articulation is chaotic. Sir Stafford Northcote has a fatal fault. He talks without stops of any description. His speeches are continuous streams of words. Lord Stanley is but a bit of a bore for though you may always reckon upon sound, manly sense, you must strain your ears and puzzle your wits to interpret sentence by sentence what he is saying. His articulation is terribly disconcerting. Il is zigzag and blurred. Mr. Stewart Mill has a weak, thin voice and a hesitating manner.— Yet, all these are men whose speeches on interesting occasions every paper thinks it a duty to give in the first person, and as a rule, tbe speeches of these men are given with striking verbal accuracy.— Very oftea they read much more effectively in the papers the next mvning than they sounded in St. Stephen's the previous nignb" 3 .*•_
