REMOVAL OF AN IDIOT TO THE ASYLUM. The Clerk read a letter from Mr Jenkins, of Panty- philip, in which he stated that an idiot named Francis had committed an assault upon a girl in ser- vice at Backet, and suggested that the lunatic should be removed to an asylum. A conversation took place, in the course of which it was stated that the lunatic complained of was one of three who were in charge of thiir father, and in re- spect of whom the Union paid 3s each per week. Mr Symmons: The case is not so bad as Mr oenkins has reported. Mr Jenkins should come down and give evidence instead of writing a letter. Mr L. Evans What do you think of him your. Belf ? Mr Symmons The father is willing to take care of them for 12H. a week, and if there is any complaint, 1 e will give them up at once. The Clerk: After this notice, the duty of the relieving officer is, within three months, to get a doctor to see him, and if he certifies he is a lnnatic he must be sent to a lunatic asylum. Capt Stokes was here this morning making a complaint about him. They have been in asylum and were let oat on the father promising to take care of them. Mr J. Thomas, Llether: There is a violation of the promise in this case. Mr J. E. Evana: The neighbourhood seems to be in danger. Mr S.arbuck He ought to be consigned to an asylum at once. A Guardian moved that the idiot who assaulted the pirl should be removed to an asylum. Mr J. E. Evans: I move that the Relieving Officer do his duty. Tiiis motion was agreed to, and the Relieving officer was directed to have him removed to the Asylnm. The father of the idiot was here admitted to the meeting, and in reply to the question, he said that his son and the girl were playing, and that he never heard any complaint against him. Mr Roberts, (of Rippeston): I think 3a a week for each idiot: is rather little for attending to them properly, and I beg to move that the sum be 3d 6d each. Mr J. E. Evans I second it on this ground I think a little more money will induce him to take more care of them. The motion was passed. A CORBECTIOX. Mr O.E. Davies: I wish to correct an error which I fell into this day fortnight. I stated then that I had been informed that a corpse had been brought from this Union, and leftover night in the porch of the ohurch at Llanycbare. I made a mistake in stating Llanychare instead of Llanllawer. I under- stood the thing was of recent occurrence. I had the information from the guardian of the parish. I find from the books that tbere has not been any burial from this Union at Llanllawer within three years. I am sorry I was misled; circumstances did take placesim ilar to what I described, but it was three years ago, bat the guardian told me of it the day before the last Board, and I took it for granted that it was of recent occurrence. Mr K. Evans That was in Mr Carter's time. Master: Yes. Mr 0. E. Davies: I was misled, and instead of the parish of Llanychare, it was the pariah of Llan- llawer. I am sorry I made the statement, and 1 wish to make amende honorable to the parson of Llanychare. Mr Thomas, of Trebover: I happened to be on the spot at the time: it happened at Llanllawer. Master: It is three years ago. Mr 0. E. Davies: It took place, bat it was not of recent occurrence. Clerk: In that case there was no fault to be attached to the MrSter of the Workhouse. It appears that the parish clerk lived beyond the delivery of the Fishguard Post office, and that the letter was lying in the Post office two days before the corpse came up to Llanllawer.

ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Saturday before 0. E. Davies, Esq., T. Skone, Esq., H. Carrow, Esq., and A. B. Starbuck, Esq., KEEPING A DOG WITHOUT A LICENSE. William Owen, farmer, of Walton West, was charged by Mr Sturgeon, supervisor of Inland Bev- enue. with keeping a dog without a license. Mr Sturgeon stated that the defendant had always given the Officers trouble with regard to his licences. The defendant had a dog, the license for which should have been taken out last January. The officer had called upon him several times. On the 6th of March, he promised to take out a license, but neglected to do so. On the 29th of March, he was again spoken to. and he then Baid the dog was dead. Defendant; So it was then it had been kicked by a horse, and was left for dead. Mr Sturgeon said that the officer saw him at Little Httven, and he again persisted in stating that the dog was dead. While he was speaking the dog m-ide its appearance. The defendant was very abu- sive and threatened the officer with violence, Defendant denied that he used threatening lan- guage to the officer. The dog recovered and tl e officer told him that if he took out the license u would be all right. He took out the licenses and he had them with him. The Officer of Inland Revenue, who called upon the defendant, deposed to the facts mentioned by Mr Sturgeon, and also said he told the defendant that if the dog was dead he was equally liable to take out the licence. After the defendant had told him that the dog was dead he saw it beneath his cart in Little Haven: afterwards he saw the dog in defendant's pas- sage, and he asked him what he meant by saying the dog was dead. He made no explanation beyond stating that tbe dog had been kicked. The Banch lined defendant £1 5s with costs. HON PAYMENT OF RATES. Gootge Llewellin, of Dale, wad summoned by the Overseers for non-payment of rates. This case had been adjourned from the last session. The overseer now stated that the parish authorities had consented to excuse the defendant from the payment of rates till next Michaelmas. The Clerk (jocularly): I withdraw the remark I made last week: I say you are Christians in Dale. (Loudlaughter.) I withdraw all. The Cleik also said that he should make no charge for costs in the case. DRUNKENNESS William Evans, of Llanstadwell, was fined 53 with costs lor drunkenness.

It appeared from the evidence that the body, quite naked, was found lying in the water near Morgan's Bridge by James Evans, who gave information to the police. Dr T. H. Rowe deposed that the body was in an advanced state oi decomposition. There was a bruise on the right side of the temple, and the left shoulder blade pro- truded through the arm pit right through the akin. He believed that respiration had taken place, but not to any considerable extent. The bruise on the t mple might have been caused by natural means. 1'he child had never been suckled nor had any food. The body might have been five or six days in the water. The jury returned a verdict of Found dead

Several cargoes of Spanish iron ore have been discharged, and also a great quantity of bituminous culm for coke; several firemtn have also arrived,. and tbere is every prospect of a revival of trade in this locality.

NARBERTH. SACRED CONCERT AT NARBERTH.-On Tuesday, the 20th inst., a sacred concert was given at the Baptist Chapel by the choir belonging to the Chapel. From the manner in which the different pieces were ren- dered, the choir must have devoted some time and attention before arriving at such proficiency; the Rev. Mr. Burditt, M. A., of Tenby, presided, and spoke at intervals. The singing was conducted by Messrs. Thomas, Wilkins and Williams. The chapel was densely crowded, and all passed off to the satisfaction of the assembled multitude. The proceeds are to be devoted between Home Mission- ary and for the purpose of purchasing books for the Sunday School. NARBERTH PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held. on Thursday last, before J. L. G. P. Lewis (chairman), Robert Ward, R. H. Buckby, and W. H. G. Owen, Esqrs. Mr James James, of Narberth, tailor, charged William George, his apprentice, with deserting his service. Mr W. Morgan Griffiths, of Carmarthen, appeared for complainant, who produced the deed of appren- ticeship, and proved the fact of the defendant leaViug his service on the 19th of April and going to Glamorganshire, where he had procured em- ployment. Defendant had a year and a half longer to serve. Mr Rees raised an objection to the indenture, which was overruled. Their Wor ships ordered the defendant to fulfil his contract, and to procure a person as surety, in the sum of £ 10, to carry the same out and to pay the costs.

PRESENTATION OF A TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV D. W. PHILLIPS OF CRUNWEAR. Yesterday evening, a handsome tea and coffee service of solid silver was presented by the Guardians and Ratepapers of the Narberth Union, jjto the Rev D. W. Phillips, of Crunwear, in re- cognition of the valuable services he has rendered to the Union as Chairman of the Board of Guard- iaos for more than 20 years.* ^The presentation took place at a dinner at the Rutzen Hotel, Nar- berth, at which there were about 70 present. The 'proceedings were of a very interesting character we shall publish a full report of the speeches in our next issue.

TENBY. EXCISE PROSECUTION.—At the Town-hall, on Mon- day (before the Miyor. Mr. W. Rees, and Mr. E. R. Power), George Thomas was charged by Mr. F. N. Jacob, excise officer with keeping a dog without a licence on the 18th March last. The charge was fully proved, and defendant was fined in the miti- gated penalty of JEl 5s. The money was paid. ASSAULT.—Before the same magistrates, John Thomas, blacksmith, was brought up under a war- rant, charged with assaulting William Weale, a railway employe, on the North Sands, on the 9th instant. It appeared that there had been a dispute relative to a dog chain prosecutor had borrowed from the defendant, when the latter followed him to the Sands and there struck him three times. The as- sault was proved by two witnesses named Herbert Harries and Reginald Crockford, and the bench fined the defendant 104., with costa 12s., or seven days. The fine was paid.

CORRESPONDENCE. TO THE HIGHWAY BOARD. GENTLEMKN,—Permit me to call your attention to the inconvenient and somewhat dangerous condition of the street near the Picton Castle Hotel, Neyland. The Main Drain has been partly open for the last three weeks, which is not only a great nuisance but endangering the health of the residents. Trusting this impoitant matter will not be longer neglected. I am, gentlemen, yours truly, A RATEPAYER.

The Preliminary canters were taken without any feature occurring. Andred- showed the way for the lot when the courbe had been cleared, B«adroll following, with Gang Forward, Suail, and Hoebatapler in the order named, the last of all to show being Somerset. Suleiman was saddled at Sherwood stables, and did not canter, proceodiiit; to ihe poet iostead. The lot got to the J post in excellem order, and 15 minutes after the appointed hour (:; o'clock) the dag fell to a capital start. Beadroll settled duwn with the lead, beiug started to make a pace foriiang Forward, llochdta- pler lav decond. followed by Jioncaster, Kaider, aud Gang l'\>rwar I for about a C JUliiu of liuinired yards, when the favoviite became aeconJ, Hoclntapler, Douuaater, Suleiman, Meter, and Montargis follow- iljg, with Au-ired and Somerset the last pair. A" i tuey ran through the furzes, about a quarter of a mile from the start, Beadroll-increased his speed to half a dozen lengths, Gaug Forward and Kaiser following, the pace being slow to the mile post, when Hochstapler took place, Snail and Suleiman succeed- j' ing, the last three being Chanclos, Andred, and Meter, but the latter soon became aueoided whipper iu. At the top of the hill the mission of Beadroll was almost fulfilled, as ue began to draw back to his field Suleiman now being Btc.nJ, with Kaiser tnd Gang Forward succeeding down the hill. At 11 Tattenham Corner Kaiser took up the running, and held the straight, followed by Gang Forward and Suleiman. Directly they were in the line for home, Doncaster on the lower ground and Chandos on the upper side began to draw up, Montargis in the centre at the same time taking a more prominent poaicion. Just below the distance, Doncaster headed Kaiser, and soon getting a most decided advantage, won very cleverly by a length and a half from Kaiser ana Gang Forward, who ran a dead heat for second place. Chandos was a moderate fourth, with Andred fifth, Suleiman sixth, Somerset seventh, Snail and Montargis next. The three last were Meter, Hoch- stapler, and Beadroll. Time, as taken by Benson's chronograph, 2 minutes 50 seconds.

CARDIGAN ARCHIDIACON AL VISITATION. The Rev. J. North, M.A., Archdeacon of Cardigan, held his annual visitation in St. Mary's Church, Car- digan, on Tuesday. The service for the day was read by the Rev. D. Jones, B.A., curate, at the commence- ment of which very few of the clergy were present. but they entered at intervals during the service. Upon Mr Thirlwall calling the clergy list, 21 answered to their names. Archdeacon North read his charge, the first half in English and the second in Welsh. He said that, if possible, he was more anxious this year than in for- mer years to meet them face. to face at the present extraordinary juncture of affairs, and at a season of such critical import. The characteristic of the times was progress, and now that the Church was being assailed, and on the eve of a crisis, it behoved clergy and laity to put on a bold front. And here the Archdeacon (as in several other places) in his dis- course bid them look to that Almighty source for as- sistance, for they would require all the wisdom and perseverance to be found only in thoarmoury of God. He next requested a patient hearing, and then ad- verted to the internal enemies of the Church, and foremost was the development of Ritualism, which trouble, he especially added, was spared their arch- deaconry. He warned them of the lutility of the ritualistic appeals to sentiment, and referring to their evanescent character, he quoted Goldsmith's line, A breath can make them as a breath has made," he seriously and luoidly pointed out the brighter and nrmer foundation upon which the Church lived. The present condition of the Church in Wales he said was attributed to the negligence of former years. He touched on the bilingual diffi- culty, the incongruity of the English and Welsh lan- guages, and said that the latter were angry at the encroachment of the former, and added, Would that our parishioners would exercise a little more mutual forbearance towards each other." He ex- pressed full confidence in the efforts of his clerical brethren, and briefly spoke of the Irish Church being deprived of its political rights, &0., the abolition of Chdroh-rates, the doubtful compromise of the present Education Act with regard to religious in- struction, the pressure upon denominational schools, and the universal complaint against the enormity of the present local taxation. He touched on the ad- vance of infidelity, demolition of all the safe-guards of religious truths, which it was now the custom to attempt to fathom by the plumbline of human in- intellect. In an admirable and practical peroration he earnestly exhorted them to defend the Divine truths deposited in the Church, to be strong in the grace of God, which would be a safeguard against all enemies.

THE 0'K.EEFFE CASE. The O'Keeffe case was brought to a close on Tuesday. The Chief Justice concluded his address to the jury by directing them to find for the plaintiff on all the issues. The jury then retired, but after some deliberation returned into into court and stated that they could not agree. His lordship sent them back, directing them on his own responsibility to find for the plaintiff on all the issues. This they eventually did, with one farthing damages

THE MODOC WAR. A despatch from the Lava Beds, dated May 9, states that the Modocs had vacated their position and were supposed to have retreated in the direc- tion of Clear Lake. Their trail indicated their being in possession of about forty horses, and so the settlers would have to be on the alert for raids. The bodies of Lieutenant Arthur Cranston and other missing soldiers had been fonnd amongst the rocks of the Lava Beds. Donald M'Kay and a party of Warm Spring Indians had returned to the headquarters of the United States troops, and reported that he found a hole in the rocks that had evidently contained water, but which having given out, the Indians were forced to leave their position. The embers and ashes of numerous fires were found amongst the rocks, and also the. charred remains of the Modoc chiefs, whom they had endeavoured to burn up. A waggon train, going from Lieutenant Boyle's camp to Colonel Mason's camp, had been attacked by the Modocks. There was only a small escort, and they escaped with three wounded The Modocs captured seventeen horses and burned the waggons. AH the available cavalry horses were to be employed in scouring the country after the Modocks, and the infantry and artillery will be kept in garrison. The guerilla warfare has commenced, and as the Indians appear to be well mounted, it may last all the summer. One hundred Oregon volunteers had reached Klamath Ferry, where they will be employed in escorting trains.

"INTERVIEWING A REPORTER." A reporter of the Nor York Herald has been "in- terviewing" another reporter of that journal. Mr. o. Kelly, the New York Herald correspondent in Cuba, who is a prisoner in the hands of the Spanish authorities, has been visited in his cell at Foit Gerona, Manzanillo, by a New York Herald reporter at present unimprigoned. Mr. O'Kelly was dis- covered I. taking matters easily, seated in his shirt sleeves, in a rocking chair reading." Looking up from his book and recognising his brother corres- pondent, heHeaped from his chair, exclaiming, "My dear fellow, I am glad to see you,' and then delivered a shower of questions which his visitor was too breathless, after a long walk up hill, to answer. Mr O'Kelly's companion in captivity was a Spanish sol- dier accused of forgery, whom he had turned into "a kind of valet and man of all work." The furniture of the room consisfed of a writing table, on which were placed a few bottles doing service as candle- sticks, some books, writing paper, and a few chairs. The atmosphere was very oppressive, and the floor full of holes, from which the rats sallied out occa- sionally in search of provisions, undisturbed by Mr. 0' Kelly, who said they were welcome as they were the only friende who came to see him without per- mission of the authorities. On being informed by his colleague that he had come to "interview" him Mr. O'Kelly cxciaimed, "Well, that is cool. You will permit me to interview you first." The report- ers then, having mutually interviewed each other, parted, Mr. O'Kelly being left to his thoughts and his companions—the forger and the rats. He has since been removed to less uncomfortable quarters at Santiago de Cuba, where it is expected his trial will take place.

THE CHERRY. Is the Polled Cherry tho parent of our cultivated varieties.? Why was the variety May Duke so called ? — ANNIE. [The Cherry was introduced to England by the Romans. Pliny saja, "The Cherry did not exist in Italy before tho period of the victory gained over Mith- ridates by L. Lucullus, in the year of the City 680. He was the first to introduce this tree from Pontus, -ind now in the course ofono hundred and twenty years it has travelled beyond tho ocean, and arrived in Brit, annia e»en." The I'olsted Cherry, so called because grown in in larpe quantities in a parish of that name in Sufl"llk, bordering on Essex, ia the wild variety usually known as the Merry. Dr Hogg in his ♦Vegetable Kingdom' observes that 'Tho Cherries cultivated in in gardens and orchards have originated from two distinct spccies. Those which are called • Hearts and Bigarrenus' are varieties of Cerasus ayium, known by the names of Merrv, Mazzard, Corone, and Gean; and the Dukes, Morellos, and Kentish are varieties of C. vulgaris. Bjth are fonnd wild in the woods of Britain." If we refer to our older catalogues of Cherries we find three varieties, the May, the Duke, and the Arch- Duke. The same catalogues say that the first was so called because it ripened in that month. If so, the ripening was not in this country, for no Cherry that we know has ever ripened here so early unless it wan forced. We rather think that the name May Duke and its contraction Duke,' and its exaggeration 'Arch Dukp,' are one and all derived from Medoc, a district in the Gironde, frjin which it was introduced here, and ita name as usual, corrupted by our old gardeners just as they corrupted Corinths into Curranto, and Walnuts from Gaul nuts, and many others—Ei>s.] — Journal of horticulture Mil DISRAPM.-Tl*c Court Journal says:—It is not generally known that at Viscountess Bea- eonsfieid's death her fortune passed away to the family ot her first husb md, Mr Wyndham Lewis. Mr Dismoli is therefore unable to to keep up the siime position as he was wont to keep during her life Still he has hia pension of £ 2,000 a year agancx-Cabinet Minister, whichnuonewitlgrudge him, for his long services to the public and some years ago an eccentric old lady in Devon- shire lofciiiui the bulk of her fortune, amounting tu abou t < £ 2.>,000. But llugheuden has to be maintained, and a public man in town has many calls on his purse, even if he should have no family. The ex-Cabinet Minister is now a solitary inan, and keeps aloof from all party and public demonstrations." The annual meetings of tho South Wales Templar's and Prohibitive Association wore hflld at C irraarthon on Tuesday and Wednesday. Resolutions were passed recognising the efforts of the Templars, aad congratulating them on their success. The pro- cession, which paraded the principal streets of the tiwn, was composed for the most part of women and children; and the Nonconformist ministers of Cn- marthen were, as a body, conspicuous by their ab- sence. On Friday an application will be made on behalf of Cardinal Cullen for a conditional order to set aside the verdict in the O'Kdeife case, on the ground of mis-direction by the Judge. t There is every prospect that the dispute in the Cleveland iron trado will be speedily and satisfac- ftotorilyarranged. It was resolved on Wednesday to re- fer the dispute to arbitration, the men in the mean- while at once to resume work. It transpired on the Wolverhampton Exchange on Wednesday that a large buyer in Staffordshire district is about to import iron from America, wnete, for some descriptions, the quotations are considerably below home rates. Mr C. H. Williams, who has represented the Barnstaple constituency, in the Conservative interest since 1868, has announced his intention not to seek re-election. Mr Howell Gwyn, a gentleman well known in South Wales, and who has local connec- tions at Barnstable, is mentioned as the probable candidate. The examination of Austin Biron Bidwell, who was apprehended at Havanna, in connection with the recent forgeries on the Bank of England, com- menced at the Mansion House on Wednesday before the Lord Mayor. When apprehended the prisoner had in his possession six 1000 dollar bonds and others of smallerjvalue. He was identifiedby Colonel Francis, the manager of the Westend Branch of the Bank of England, and remanded. Ripid progress is now being made with the Tioh- borne trial, and an opinion prevails that it will con- clude much earlier than was anticipated. The Wapping evidence continued on Wedmg ay, & some of the witnesses expressed their belief that the defend- ant recognised them during the former trial. Mr Gladstone, having been invited to a meeting of the Agricultural Labourers' Union, has forwarded a reply, stating that it was not in his power to attend meetings of the kind. The Premier, however, inti- mated that he observed with care all proceedings of the kind, with a sincere desire that justice and harmony may prevail in the relations between labourers and farmers.' a A Curious illustration of the working of the jury system in London has been afforded at the Worship- street police Court. A witness in the case of a man charged with neglecting his wife and family made incidentally the confession that he had been em- ployed to summon jurymen, and that he had made a living by accepting bribes to let off the men whom he summoned—and, he added, "a good one too." James Low, ex-secretary of an odd fellows Lodge, who was charged at Clerkenwell with" misapplying money "belonging to the Lodge, has been assisted out of a difficulty. In consequence of an arrange- ment for refunding by weekly instalments, the in- formation against him was withdrawn. A Turkish stock-jobber, who was unable to meet his engagements last settling day, was arrested on Saturday night at Charing-oross Station, after he had taken out a ticket for Brindisi. He was brought up at the Mansion House and remanded. Two piratical lightermen have been caught in the aot of making off with a large barge which they bad unmoored at Bromley lock. It contained 9002 worth of property. The Wapping evidence against the Claimant in the Tichbonrne trial was continued yesterday. The only note worthy feature in the proceedings was that Dr. Kenealy appears to be getting tired of cross- examining witnesses from this locality. Amongst these prevails an unshaken unanimity of belief that the defendant is Arthur Orton. HOTEL-KEEPERS.—In the new Act (36 Vio., cap, 18) which was printed on Saturday, it ia provided that, on and after the 1st of January next, "it shall not be necessary for a licence to be taken out under 32 and 33 Vic., cap 14 by any hotel-keeper, retailer of intoxicating liquors, or refreshment-house keeper for any servant wholly employed by him for the purpose of his business." WITHIN A RADIUS of twenty miles of Manchester, sixty children have been rendered orphans since the 1st of January, their fathers having been killed on the railway whilst discharging their duties, and in nearly every case the companies have refused as- sistance. These children, as well as tbe widows of the deceased employes, are all being supported by the Railway Servants Society. Two LITTLE BOYS, sons of a naval officer, were charged on Monday, before the Warwick magistrates with setting fire to two hayricks, on a farm in the outskirts of the town. When caught by a police. man each child accused the other and both are re- manded till Friday. THE GROUSE DISEASE is again manifesting itseJfon the north side of the Dee. Nnmerous dead birds have been picked up, but the general opinion is that the disease is of a different kind from that which prevailed on the moors some years ago, There is a little appearance, however, on the hills to the south of the Dee. Nesting is well advanced, there being an average of five to seven eggs in each. On Monday afternoon a fire broke out in the ootton mill of Mr. E. Butterworth, Union-street, Ancoats Manchester. The building, which was seven storeys high, was filled with a large quantity of highly inflammable stock, and after the fire had burned about an hour the roof fell in and the entire stock was destroyed. Nothing but the bare walls remained. The damages are estimated at from 20,0002. to 30,0002. A man and a boy were slightly injured. AUTOGRAPHS.—Perhaps it is because autograph- oollecting has been our special mania ever since ohildhood that we look upon it with more favouring eyes, and give it a foremost place amongst the varied tribes of collections. At tbe same time, no one can deny that tbere is a good deal to be said in favour of this spocial branch. It is nothing made by mechanics nothing printed by manual labour of the illiterate; nothing valuable simply because it is antiquity, though antiquity must in all collections add a special charm; no, it is a branch which stands almost alone in its glory. Each separate specimen contained in the collector's portfolio is the work of a great man. Let him be poet, painter advocate, statesman, or divine, each line on the page before us was traced by the hand, now, it may be, dead and cold, of the man himself—the very hand which perhaps carved the graceful outline of the Kneeling Angel" or painted the blue-robed Madonna. Here we have also on the sheet before us, musty perhaps, and torn, the "thoughts which breathe and the words which burn,"poured into som. kindred ear in all the privacy of friendship, and little witting of the day when, fastened into a collector's volume, it will become a public spectacle—"the cynosure of neighbouring eyes," or a subtle index of the great mind whose secret workings were jealously concealed from the outer world.—From, "The Quiver" for June. MACAULAY.—As long as the English language shal' be spoken, the words of Macaulay, and especially his History Jof England," will be read with de- light and admiration, and all that relates to their author will be regarded with interest. Like mosi of our other great writers the groundworks of bis excellence was laid in the careful and continual perusal of the beautiful translastion of the Hebrew Scriptures, with whioh, in his earlior years, his mind was satured, through the eare of his father a man of deep religiaus character. By degrees everything connected with the history of England riveted his attention, and at length caused him to undertake that extraordinary work, in which the most profound thoughts and the highest philosophy are conveyed with a beauty of style and a luxury of adornment that render it more fascinating than the most powerful romance. The most extraordinary feature in this great man's mind was the immense powers of memory with which he was gifted, and which enabled him to retain, ready for production whenever they might be required, all those vast stores of information which he had amassed in the course of a life that men who are gifted with strongly retentive and ready memories are deficient in vigorous or philosophic thought or in imaginative power but it is needless to point out that in both these respects Macaulay was pre-eminently great. What, however, was still more extraordinary, was that he combined with the highest philosophical and poetic genius the plodding industry and the careful accuracy of the antiquarian. If he was dis- tinguished as a man of genius he was no less re- markable for the careful manner in which he un- folded and scrutinised the dusty worm-eaten records of Parliament, or the stained and tattered ballads of a distant age. Nothing was too high for his genius, nothing too difficult for his industry, nothing too low and humble for his investigation. A great poet, a great philosopher, a great historian, and a great antiquary, he possessed excellence in each of these walks sufficient to make a lasting reputation but he possessed all these in combination, and united with them something that was quite peculiar to him- self, and which brightened the splendour of his mani- fold gifts.—Molesioorth. WYCLIFFE'S BIBLE.—The fundamental defect of the Wyecliffite versions is that they are derived from the Latin, not from the original Hebrew and Greek. The translators wore not able even to consult the original texts. What they profess to do they do well, representing the Latin with great care and with general accuracy. Where the text before them was faulty, the error was faithfully reflected in their work. We have heard Purvey's complaint of the inaccuracy of tbe common Latin Bibles and though ha sought to remedy the evil by collation of many copies, an examination of his rendering shows that he was not fortunate in meeting with manuscripts o! any great excellence. The weakest part of tho Vulgate, and of all translations made from it, is tb. Book of Psalms. Jerome's translation of this book from the Hebrew never attained currency the oil and familiar version from the Greek, revised, brt": not materially changed, maintained its ground. A comparison of the authorised version of Pd. XC. 9, 10 with the quotation given will show how far the Latin (faithfully represented in almost every particu- lar in Purvey's translation) may dopart from the sense of tho original. From vorcio 9 it sooms hard to extract any clear meaning and yet the English reader was iu no worse plight than the great Augus- tine himself, wh.) understood the Pailmist'd words iu no other sema. But this dependence on the Vulgate was not without some compensating advan- tages. Tho English'Bible, at this its first appear, ance, was saen to be identical with the common Bible' received by the whole of the Western Church: a version taken from the language of the Jews or of the Greeks might in those days have been suspected of some grievous tain! The translator moved freely amongst the well known words and phrases, and his familiarity with the Latin text left him at liberty to expend his strength on the Ebglish hence the force Rnd the homeliness so often apparent in the style.— The Rev Professor Moultou, in The Bille Educator' or June. THE MORDEHER or JAIIES FISK.—In the case of I Edward S. Stokes, convicted of the murder of James Fisk. jan., the New York Supreme Court, before whom argument has for some time been going on for a new trial, has denied the motion and affirmed the judgment of the Court below. This has been a severe blow for Stokes and his friends, for it indi- cates that he will probably suffer the extreme pen- alty of the law. The case is, however, to be carried to the Court of Appeals, the Court of last resort, where it will take a month to reaoh a decision. A COSTLY SHIP CANAL.—The discovery of a prac- tical canal route across the Isthmus of Darien- practical at tho cost 70,000,000 dollars-has been announced. The route seems to be almost the only hope for an inter oceanic ship canal. Commander Shufeldt, who has explored the Tehuantepec Isth- mus, in his report says in reference to the route laid out there: Although we are fully justified in re- porting this oanal practical as an engineering work yet from the number of locks as well as from the expense of construction of its feeder, the question becomes a serious one-so serious that it will prob- ably require national resources to build it."

AIDING A CHICKEN'S BIRTH-BRAHMAS. I send with this an egg-shell from which a chick has just been hatched. If you examine it you will find it a double shell. I do not mean to say that the hen laid it so, but I forward it as a successful dodge by whioh I think I saved the life of a chick. Yester- day morning the hen, in returning to her nest, trod upon and thoroughly crushed the original shell. I think it was weakened by a previous small crack in the narrow end, which I had covered with a little bit of postage-stamp edging. I was certain that the chick would die if left, as, if not crushed, the skin would bind it and dry to it; but it would probably have been crushed between the other eggs, as I have had often happen. They were due to hatch to day, and I therefore, thought that an outside egg-shell that has been used at breakfast, rasced it & little, and slipped it over the small end, and joined it to the original top (which was not much injured,) with postage plaister, and put it under the hen again. It is very roughly done, as a clergyman with three services on Sunday has not much ti me for sur. gical operations; but it was successful, as I found that egg and another hatched this morning, and the shell just as I forward it to you, though it will pro- bably be rather more crushed in the post. I have written this account, because the plan may be useful to others in similar cases. And now, if you will spare me a short space, I should like to add a few words de quibusdam aliis. With respect to the merits of Brahmas, my ex- perience of them for the past two or three years has been favourable, and I have now returned to my old loves the Silver-Grey Dorkings. The Brahmas are said to be hardy, early and good layers, nor could I get any weight that was of much use for the show pen, but then I couldnot afford to buy the monstere that may be necessary for this. Dorkings are thought tender and comparatively poor layerc. Mine have been laying well ever since January 1st, not only pullets, of which I have but two, but old hens also. Several old hens were certainly laying in January, and 1 have never found Dorking chicks, if hatched early enough, tender. I hatched some {very few, I am sorry to say), in February, and reared them all, and since that I have lost but two or three. Late broods of anything I detest-even late June birds are seldom healthy. I think the weather is too hot for their chiekenhood, and they remain stunted and probably get roupy in autumn. My first chioks this year were batches of eggs since the previous April, being then a pnllet. I set her on fifteen eggs, but only three were hatched: they are alive and well. I have just weighed two of them. The cockerel weighs 3! lbs. and the pullet 2f lbs., which is, I think, pretty well for eleven weeks old, and the colours promise at present all that could be wished. Hatching this spring has been with me very bad. I could get no hens to sit for some time, though I tried all the neighbourhood and the broode have been very small-three, two, and from a Black Bed Bantam, which breed usually hatch every egg, a grand brood of one. Eight is the best I have had yet. I hope for better broods now.-E. S. TIDDK. MAN, Childerditch Vi carage.-Journal of Horticul- tnre.
