A meeting of the members of the Cheshire Agricultural Society was held on Thursday, June 21, at the Crewe Arms Hotel, Crewe, Mr. Holdl)(1urne presiding.

On Wedneday, June 20, a labourer named Joseph Stanley was drowned whilst bathing in a reservoir at Buckley, belonging to the Brick and Tile Company.

She fell in, pulling her brother with her, and both were drowned. At a meeting of the Abergele and Pensarn Local Board held on Tuesday, June 19, the Rev. Isaac Williams, of Bronparc, said that the University College of Wales was not required at all. There were plenty of good grammar schools all over the country. Oxford was brought near to them by railway, and the colleges there were amply endowed. Despite this gentleman's authori- tative dictum, the Board resolved (with but one dissentient) to memorialize the Government for a grant to the College. The Lait Tunes states that at "a meeting of the Shropshire Law Society, the Bankruptcy Bill and Mr. Cavan's County Courts Bill were discussed. As to the Solicitors' Examination Bill the single clause to which, the members of the new Law Society took unanimous objection was that which proposes to re-enact the existing law in regard to granting dispensation from passing the preliminary examination before entering into olerk- ship. Shropshire solicitors evidently think, and not without good reason, that every person seeking enrolment in the ranks of the solicitors' profession should be compelled to subject him- self to this very simple educational test." On Tuesday, June 19, a Polish Jew, named Charles Kirustvke, was brought up before the Cardigan magistrates on the singular charge of being drunk and refusing to leave the county prison. The-charge was preferred by the Governor,who said that on the prisoner's refusing to leave he had been taken to the lock-up. The prisoner's defence was also of a singular character. He said he had walked from Haverfordwest that day, and intended con- tinuing his walk in the cool of the evening, but seeing lights in the building he imagined it was a chapel, and thought lie would walk in and stay till the service was over. The magistrates discharged him on condition of his leaving the town at once. At the last meeting of the St. Asaph Board of Guardians, the Medical Officer of Health, in making a report upon the circum- stances attending two deaths, which had occurred in the neigh- bourhood of Bodelwyddan, said that all the land around Vaynol V.iwr was waterlogged. Large dykes were cut into it like the Lincolnshire dykes, in order ■to drain the water off, but they got choked up with decaying vegetable matter, and consequently rendered the water very impure. It was stated that the Sanitary Committee had no power to remedy this state of things. They could neither compel the proprietors to clear out the ditches, nor pay for a supply of pure water from the Llanefvdd Water Works, although the main pipes from those works, pass through the place. The obvious course for the Committee to pursue is to apply to the Local Government Board for the powers they need. The annual meeting of the subscribers to the Chester Female Penitentiary was held on Thursday, June 21, under the presi- dency of Canon Blomfield. The subscription list showed a falling off of nearly 4?1 t ft was stated that the number of in- mates had been small. For some weeks there had been but three in the house. The matron, Miss Marsh, made a favourable report of the behaviour and progress of the women under her charge. The secretary (Mr. J. Jones) said that the demand for household servants was so much greater than the supply that people were willing to take them without a strict investigation into their moral character, and the consequence was that many yonng women who would formerly have applied for admission to penitentiaries were able to go into service.

The latest object found in a statue by Praxiteles a Mercury in t marble holding under his arms a young Bacchus. Signor Nicotera, the Italian Minister of the Interior, has pre- sented the King of Italy with the arms taken from the brigand chief Leone. They consist of an English central percussion re- volver and an American 24-shooter carbine, formed of two barrels. A great lire has occurred at Marbleliead in Massachusetts, by which nearly the whole business part of the town has been destroyed. At Wadebridge, near Plymouth, there is at present a travel- ling menagerie, and in consequence of the elephant's sleeping van having broken down, a small house has been hired for the I e(I animal. The other night the elephant grew wild, and attacked the keeper, inflicting injuries from which death ensued. The Bristol Post reports that another suicide from the Clifton Suspension-bridge took place on Saturday morning, June 23. The iitme of the deceased is Quick, and he was a prosperous tradesman of Taunton, but had for some time been suffering from dementia, the result, it is said, of overwork. General Grant has written to the Mayor of Birmingham to say that he expects to leave England temporarily in the first week in July, but that on his return in the autumn he will have great pleasure in accepting the invitation of the inhabitants to visit the town. On Saturday, Juno 23, Joseph Angus, sen., of Sheffield and Boston, market gardener, tiled his petition in the Sheffield Bank- ruptcy Court, with liabilities estimated at £,í)O,OUO. He was one of the eight vendors who floated the Cardigan Iron, Steel, and Wire Company, Limited, now in liquidation. A distressing case of suicide has taken place at Morriston, near Swansea, Mr. Borgniet, the general manager of the spelter works of Mr. H. Hussey Vivian, M.P., having destroyed his life by hanging. Deceased, who was about fifty years of age, was greatly respected, and leaves a widow and four or five childen. The colliers' strike in Lancashire has entered upon the third week of its duration, and so far very few of the men have re- turned to work on the masters' terms. Nearly 4,000 men are being supported by the miners' union but the non-members of that body, who'.number about 15,000, have no | fund to fall bacli UfJr Hubinstein has just received at the hands of the Presi- dent of the French Republic the Cross of the Legion of Honour j Herr Rubinstein played before the Marshal at the ElystSe, and has now gone on to Russia. France had already recognised the merits of the great pianist by electing him as a correspond- ing member of the Academy of Fine Arts.. At Lord's ground on Monday, June 25, the annual cricket match between Oxford and Cambridge Universities was com- menced before a company numbering upwards of 15,000. Cam- bridge won the toss and went in first; and at the end of the (hy's play the game stood :-C:tmbrirle, first innings, 134 Ox- f ird, first innings, with one wicket still to fall, 212. The match was concluded on Tuesday when Oxford won by ten wickets. The Duke of Cambridge inspected the London Volunteer Rifle Brigade, under the command of Colonel Hayter, M.P., m Hyde Park, on Saturday, June 23. The brigade consisted of ten com- panies of twenty-five files, the total strength being 610. The Commander-in-Chief complimented the men on the soldierly care they seemed to take of their arms and accoutrements, and on their efficiency in drill. The Bristol Pout mentions a report that the Education De- partment, which has been very long-suffering with Archdeacon Denison who will not admit a school inspector,, will endure his obstinacy no longer. He has been told that, under recent legis- lation, it has become necessary that a child should be educated at a certified school in order to be permitted to work; that there is no certified school in East Brent; and that, unless there is one by December, the. Department will issue an order for the election of a School Board. A telegram from Alexandria states that the work of removing Cleopatra's Needle is proceeding rapidly, and that Mr. Carter, who will take charge of it on the voyage, arrived on Thursday, June 21st. Two inscriptions have been discovered on the sup- ports of the Needle. One is in (Ireek, the other in Latin. They fix the date when the obelisk was erected at Alexandria— namely, the eighth year of Augustus Cfesar, by Barbarus, pre- fect of Egypt; Fontius engineer. The Italian Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are making urgent protests against the regulation recently es- tablished by the Syndic of Florence, according to which all dogs found straying, and not claimed within the three days allowed, are destined to supply the schools for vivisection, not only of Florence, but of.Sieml also. Petitions and remonstrances, signed by influential personages, have been sent to the Municipality, but in vain. It is announced that a conference between trade unionists and a number of clergymen will take place in the Chapter House of St. Paul's Cathedral on Saturday, June 30. The points for dis- cussion are The objection of employers to trade unions; a system of arbitration and conciliation, commended as an end to which all efforts for the organisation of labour should tenfl; co- operation considered as a solution of the labour question. On the clerical committee are found among others, the names of the Dean of St. Paul's, Canon Lightfoot, Canon Farrar, and Canon Prothero. The Academy says: — Professor Tlioluck, well known in England by his peculiar combination of Evangelical fervour and modern scholarship, died at Halle on June 9, 1877, in his 78th year. His early studies were Oriental and theological, and when, in 1819, the celebrated De Wette was dismissed from his professorship at Berlin for writing a friendly letter to the mother of the assassin-student Sand, the youth- ful Tholuck was appointed to succeed him. Several commen- taries, chiefly on the New Testament, bore witness to his exege- tical abilities The first part (sav.3 the Athenmum) of Luther's translation of the Old Testament, embracing the Pentateuch, appeared in 1523, at Wittenberg. The second, which was already finished on the 4th of December of the same year, appeared like the first, in large quarto. It contains the portion from Joshua to Esther, 410 leaves, and has many pictures. Professor Kinds- eller, of Zerbst, has found in the ducal archives of that place almost the whole AIS. of this latter portion, in Luther's own handwriting. The death is announced of Mr. John Brown, of the firm of Messrs. W. J. and F. Brown and Co., cabinet makers and up- holsterers, of Chester. Mr. Brown was a native of Chester, and took an active part in many of its public movements. At the time ofjjtlie Fenian raid in the city he materially assisted in the formation of a corps of special constables. He was an energetie supporter of the volunteer movement, and was for several years the captain of a volunteer company. The deceased gentleman was fifty-three years of age. About twenty sufferers from the Bath Bridge accident still re- main in the Bath Royal United Hospital. All are progressing favourably with the exception of Mr. Bissett, of Bishopston, Bristol, whose thigh was fractured, and who is suffering from spinal injuries. His condition has within the past day or two, assumed a more serious aspect. Six of the injured persons htwe been discharged from the hospital during the last few days, and several others will be allowed to go to their homes this week. At Walsall, on Monday, June 25, there was a remarkable end- ing to a prosecution for passing counterfeit coin. Two respect- able youths, named Tonks, had been under remand from the previous Monday, on a charge of attempting to pass a base half- crown at three different shops. Although a week had elapsed since the previous hearing, the police do not appear to have taken nny steps to ascertain whether the coin was good or bad, and their principal witness yesterday, a silversmith, as soon a he saw it, pronounced it to be genuine. The youths were at once discharged. In a breach of promise case, tried in the Dublin Court of Common Pleas, on Wednesday, June 20 the position of the parties was reversed. The action was brought by a Dublin butcher against a lady named Verschoyle, widow of an army officer, and daughter of a Spanish nobleman, reputed to be possessed of considerable wealth, and mistress of a fine residence a few miles from Dublin. It was clearly shown to have been a deliberate case of jilting. The lady's friends ridiculed the idea of her marrying a butcher, and so she threw him over, and—married a book-canvasser. She had paid £50 into court, but the jury awarded an additional £ 150. By the invitation of the Duke of Westminster,-a large number of ladies and gentlemen assembled at Grosvener House on Thursday, June 21, to consider the best modes of promoting the establishment of piitolic-hotises without alcoholic liquors. Very satisfactory reports were made of the progress of coffee-stalls and coffee-houses at Liverpool, Bristol, Sheffield, Hull, and several other place.?. In most instances where success has been obtained, it seems to have been founded upon a small capital, and very much under the management of working men. Hesolutions in favour of the objects of the meeting were moved by Lord Shaftesbury, Mr. Samuel Morley, M.P., Mr. Cowper- Temple, M.P., and others. The annual banquet given by the Corporation of Trinity House took place on Saturday evening, June 23, the Prince of Walesdn the chair. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in re- sponding to the toast of Her Majesty's Ministers," referred to the troubled condition of the East of Europe, and to the anxiety of the Government to take part in a settlement of the existing confusion. Let others also bear their parts; but while we ought not to run to meet our troubles half way, neither ought we to be neglectful in watching what may be coming. No one could more earnestly deprecate over-haste, no one could be more anxious that necessary precautions should be taken in this matter. He believed the interests of Eurone were the same -is e as,the interests of this country, and when the day of settlement came—and it might he soon—it would be a settlement in which this country would bear an honourable part, and a part worthy of it. Oil Thursday, June 21, the remains of John Outliwtite-who murdered his sweetheart at Bradford on the previous Monday night, and then, after brutally assaulting his aged father, commit- ted suicide-were interred in the burying ground of a Wesleyan Chapel. His victim, Ruth Ingham, was also interred in an ad- joining grave. The Rev. J. Colston, vicar of Laisterdyke, read the burial service in the chapel over the young woman. He said he was doing violence to no principles, but had been welcomed there. He should have felt unworthy of the name of a mail, a Christian, and a minister, if he had not united with them in pay- ing respect to the young woman's memorv, and giving expression to the public sympathy wich was manifested. The Rev. W. Willey, Wesleyan minister, read the burial service over the re- mains of Outhwaite. Thousands witnessed the interments. The great lire at St. John's, New Brunswick, was still burning on Thursday, June 21st. The destruction of property has been very In addition to hundreds of dwelling houses, 12 churches and 25 other public buildings have been burnt. The loss of life is more serious than was at first estimated. Eleven bodies have been recovered, and it is supposed that from 15 to '25 persons ill all have perished. Many of the large towns in the United States are sending provisions and other "necessaries for the sufferers. All fears of actual suffering have been removed by the generous donations which have been received. Offers of assistance continue to arrive from various Canadian and American towns, as weU as provisions in large ouantities. Du.iiw ui ine uariks and business houses are re-opemng and the re-building has already commenced. 1 be annual report of the ordnance survey department was is- ;uell (In S:ltunlay. June 23. It states that two survey divi- sions v. iil he employed during the present year in Derbyshire, <l 111 ^"Orth Staffordshire, which will undertake the survey oi Olduiun, m Lancashire.

FROM LONDON LETTERS.
FROM LONDON LETTERS. People who heard Mrs. Besant's defence in the trial in which she and Mr. Bradlaugh are defendants say that it was the most remarkable display of feminine ability ever heard. It was a mas- terly production, and seemed to have great weight with the jury, while the Lord Chief Justice highly complimented her upon it. Mrs. Besant is a niece of Lord Hatherley, the wife of a clergy- man, and the sister-in-law of a senior wrangler.- -Liverpool I'o.st. It will have been noticed that Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, in his summing up on the Bradlaugli-Besant case, expressed his very strong regret that the prosecution had been undertaken. I have reason to know that this regret was shared by Mr. Cross, who displayed his usual sound sense ill arguing against proceed- ings, but he was unable to help himself.-I.I.,verpof!l Mcrcury. In spite of the withdrawal of the Burials Bill, surely the ecclesiastical millennium must have come. Mr. Newman Hall and other Dissenters have been sending the ultra-Ritualist Dr. F. G. Lee subscriptions towards the cost of rebuilding his church spire, which was done by the Board of Works, and charged to him.—Isivcrpool Mercury. It is all very well for Messrs. Biggar and Parnell to be curiously inquiring in the House of Commons what becomes of the Secret Service money. It is well known that a considerable portion of it at least is expended by a perfidious Government in employing two well-known Members of Parliament to take upon themselves the odium of obstructing public business in the House, and so supplying the Ministry, for use at the end of the Session, with an excuse for dom£;" lIotlung.-Jfa!dm/ It is seldom one comes across a good cricketer with a common- place name. They have very odd names sometimes—as Ullyet, Southerton, Jupp, Lilly white, Grace. But this peculiarity of the national game is threatened with destruction. It is a most re- markable coincidence that the three most rising cricketers just now are "Jones, Brown, and Robinson '"—Jones having been put on in the match between Surrey and Gloucester at Kennington Ov-d while Brown has come out for Sussex; and Robinson is one of the youngsters brought out by the Gloucestershire Colts' Match, recommended by me in this column a few months ago. —Mayfair. The formal withdrawal of the Burials Bill in the Lords led to an interesting conversation. The action of the Conservative peers in voting for Lord Harrowby's amendment is, I hear, entirely attributable to the courageous example and great influence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, which has brought down upon him the hostility of the clerical factions within the Church, who call his conduct Quixotic, and accuse the Primate of betraying- the interests of the Church. The Archbishop, to- night, seized the occasion of giving both the clergy and the Government a lesson in moderation and Christian charity. Lord Hsrrowby also made excellent capital out of his triumph by warning the Government that after the last vote of their lord- ships the question could never be settled in any other way than by a full and frank concession of the claims of the Noncon- formists. People are becoming more and more convinced that the Government Bill was never intended to pass, and yet doubts are entertained of the sincerity of the Government in promising to fmme a Bill during the recess which shall be acceptable to the clergy and the Dissenters.—Birmingham Post. The dirty little book about Absolution occupied some portion of the attention of the House last night, and excited a vast deal more interest than the Indian Budget. Members came down specially to hear the Attorney-General. Some were grave and sad others were indignant with genuine Protestant anti-Popery rage while others sniggered. If copies had been on sale in the lobby they would have gone off easily at five pounds each. Everybody, of course, could tell beforehand what the answer of the Attorney-General would be. He said that the circulation of the book was confined to the clergy—and at this remark there were loud mocking groans-but that if it had circulated amongst the laity he should have felt it his duty to prosecute. The groans at the allusion to the clergy were partly meant as groans at them personally, and partly sneers at their monopoly in the special bit of sew:tge.-Biriniitghain Pout. The Devil, with all his craft and subtilty, never hit upon a more cunning or more deadly device than when he persuaded good Christians that the Seventh Commandment was really too shocking to hint at either in public or in private. We laugh at the negro preacher who, when recommended to try an exhorta- tion against lying and pilfering, declined, on the ground that it would"throw a chill over the congregation;" but what Arch- bishop Tait wouhl have the clergy to do is to imitate the policy of this astute Ethiopian. One thing is clear-his Grace can find no justification for his squeamishness in the Bible, or in the practice of the Church or the courts of law. All Lord Rtdes- dale's extracts might be covered by texts from St. Paul; and if a clergyman were to disguise the Eleventh Homily by modern- izing its grammar, and were then to preach it word for word as his own, he might look with a near approach to certainty to being (lelated to his bishop, abused by the public press, de- nounced by the Society for the Suppression of Vice, and perhaps, brought before Parliament.—Church Times.
THE USEFULNESS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
THE USEFULNESS OF PHOTOGRAPHY. The usefulness of photography as a means of reproducing documents is only now, as it seems, beginning to be generally recognized, although it is six years and a half since its capabili- ties in this way were illustrated by a striking example. Every one remembers how the French Government at Tours caused the advertisements in an English Newspaper to be photographed in miniature and transmitted bv pigeon to Paris, where they were again reproduced in something like their original size and exhibited to the besieged inhabitants, to whom so many of them were addressed. But the advantages which in time of peace might be derived from photography had not until this year made themselves at all clear to the public mind. In February last the French Government at length took the matter up, and appointed a committee "to inquire into the best means of reproducing by photography the documents preserved in the State collections." The report of the committee has now ap- peared, and it contains recommendations which obviously deserve the notice of other Governments besides the French. The principal advantages to be gained by allowing a reproduc- tion of the documents in question are three in number. It will enable the directors of libraries or museums to lend copies of the rare works they possess, and if necessary to save the originals from being worn out or defaced by too frequent use, by substituting fac-similes of them for all ordinary purposes. It will, in case of fire or other accident, guarantee at least the probable preservation of accurate and absolutely correct copies of a lost work. The committee recommends that, subject to all proper precautions, all qualified photographers should be allowed to take copies of such works as they please on condition of conforming to strict rules as to their method of working, and of depositing a negative with the State official, who is to be permitted to use it at his discretion for national purposes.— Pall Mall Gazette.
ECCLESIASTICAL.
ECCLESIASTICAL. Cardinal Manning laid "the foundation-stone of a new Roman Catholic Church, on Friday afternoon, June 2*2, at St. Albans, in honour of the protomartyr of Britain. It is intended to erect, in connection with the new church, a seminary, with a view to the education of the children of Roman Catholic parents. The celebration of the Pope's jubilee is now considered to be closed. The aggregate value of the offerings he has received is estimated on good authority, we are told, at 14,000,000 f. His Holiness held a secret Consistory on Friday morning, June 22, and created three new cardinals, Monsignor Michailovics, Arch- bishop of Agram Monsignor Kustscher, Archbishop of Vienna and Monsignor Parocchi, Archbishop of Bologna. His Holiness also promoted Monsignor Agostini to the Patriarchate of Venice, nominated two bishops, and translated five others. The Reformed Episcopal Church of the United States, a body which, in virtue of its secession under Bishop Cummins from the Protestant Episcopal Church, en.ioys a prelacy with full apostolical succession, has (states the Echo) just resolved upon the consecration to a Bishopric of Great Britain of the Rev. Thomas Huband Gregg, M.A. and M.D., late Vicar of East Harborne, Birmingham. The declaratory resolution in favour of appointing such a bishop was adopted by the General Convention sitting, some weeks ago, in Philadelphia; a suggestion by Bishop Cheney to delay the proceeding being promptly negatived by a two-thirds vote. The annual Provincial Assembly of Presbyterian aud Uni tarian Ministers and Congregations of Lancashire and Cheshire was held on Thursday, June 21, at Monton, near Eceles. A peti- tion to Parliament was adopted in favour of the Permissive Bill of Sir Wilfrid Lawson, "or some equivalent measure giving the inhabitants of any district power to prevent the issue of licences for the sale of intoxicating liquors whenever and wherever a large majority of the inhabitants so determine." President (the Rev. W. Gaskell), in his annual address, spoke encour- agingly of th* position of Unitarianism in England, anil said that Christianity had been "so paganised, dogmatised, and ritualised" that it must needs be" a work of tillle and-la- bour to reduce it to something like its original simplicity and oeauty. Since the announcement made by the Duke of Richmond with regard to the Defunct Burials Bill, the Executive Com- oeauty. Since the announcement made by the Duke of Richmond with regard to the Defunct Burials Bill, the Executive Com- mitter of the Liberation Soeiey have adopted the following resolutions 1. The Committee regard with great satis- faction the defeat of the ministerial measure for si-curing the closing of the parochial churchyards, and the multiplicatv*n 01 new burial places, in which offensive sectarian distinctions would have been perpetuated. 2. Their satisfaction is increased liythe f net that the result is mainly attributable to the acceptance by the House of Lords of the principle that burials in church- yards should be with such services as may be desired by the relatives of the deceased. 3. They desire gratefully to ac- knowledge the important service rendered by Earl Granville, and the rest of the Liberal peers, in resisting the proposals of the Government, as well as the candour and good feelings dis- played by Lord Harrnwhy and other Conservative peers, by whose co-operation the question has been obviously brought near to a final settlement. 4. As the withdrawal of the Government BiU will delay that settlement until another session, it will be needful for the friends of religious equality to maintain'such a firm and vigilant attitude as will secure the ultimate adoption. of a .satisfactory measure." An analysis of the divisions on the Bill shows that no feirer 'thtn 192 peers, or nearly oae-hatf of the House of Lords, have suDported the | principle of Lord Harrowby's ekiuse.

FACTS AND FANCIES. The man who could do all the business he wanted to without advertising has been compelled to advertise at last. The new advertisement is headed "Sheriff's Sale." In concluding an article on the list corn crop an Alabama editor remarked: We have on exhibition in our sanctum a magnificent pair of ears." Mr. John B. Weller, junior, Assistant City and County Attor- ney, San Francisco, is about to apply to the Legislature for per- mission to change his name to Better. Being asked "What is an epigram ?" Josh Billings replied:- "An epigram's a bee—a little thing With just a buzz, some honey, and a sting." A lady who has a great reputation as a Irs. Malaprop re- turned to town the other day from Nice, and found her husband away in the country. 1 really am the most abandoned woman in London observed Mrs. L—. An amusing episode is related in connection with Sir Arnold Kemball's arrival at Erzeroum. The Governor of this town wishing to do all honour to the distinguished Inglis Pasha," telegraphed to his confrere at Bailbourt that Sir Arnold w: about to pass through the latter district. All preparations were accordingly made, and the first Englishman who made his ap- pearance was received at the town gates-mounted on a superb cllztx-gei-2 and conducted in state to the Mutassarif s house, where everything of the best was laid before him. Upon presenting his letter of introduction to the Governor, it was discovered that the fatted calf had been shin in honour of the special corres- pondent of the Daily Telegraph, while in the midst of the re- joicings, Sir Arnold Kemball and his staff had passed through the town unnoticed on their way to ErzeroumCourt Journal. I cannot vouch (says a correspondent of the World) for its truth neither can I for its novelty, but here is the story I have been told. It can no doubt be easily verified on application to the tollman. A certain speculator made a bet that he would pass twenty-five men over Waterloo Bridge without toll being taken of them, and he won. He marshalled his men, and asked the tollman in a nonchalant way to count them. Directly the last man had passed the turnstile, and all were walking briskly away, the ingenious gentleman entered into an amicable dispute as to the number that had really parsed. Twenty-five," quoth the tollman. I vow it was seventy-seven," said the other. So it went on for some till the men were out of sight, when the spe- culator paid his halfpenny and said, "Well, after all, it is no concern of mine. Good morning." (From Punch).

Old Gent.: Ah, then, I'm afraid you won't—that is, we shall not suit you. I and my wife always carry up the coals, and wash the dishes, and all that sort of thing.
