I ii-- ! : " Another little Tare "
L'pon the sea of life;
' -' ' Another soul to save.
Amid it toil and strife.
Two more little feet
To walk the dusty road;
To choose where two paths meet,
The narrow, or the brood.
Two more little hands
i . : To work for good or ill;
Two more little eve;
Another little will.
Another heart to love,
Receiving love again;
And so the baby came,
A thing of Kv and pain.
My Nest of Wild Kittens.
The last Wd of. potatoes had rumbled
Into the bia in the cellar; the1 garden
vegetables had been safely housed and
cared for; through the crevices of the
' cornrlck the ears looked bright and gold
en, and the crows cawed lonesomely
- over the stubble-fields of autumn. The
'hands' came In from the field that night
as if they felt that the farm-work for the
year was nearly over, :-1 saw my father
1 go about the premises before he came in
to tea looking carefully to see that all
was right; and then, after that pleasant
meal was over, i neara mm leu wie men
that In the morning they were to fire the
timber on Brier Hill.
I know what that meant well enough,
and with a sudden start I shook back the
the yellow hair that had fallen about my
. J face, and fixed my eyes earnestly on my
father, as if I wished to take iu at one
breath the full weight of this Informa
tion. Brier Hill then was to be 'cleared.'
It was apleqe of ground from which
most of the timber had long been cut,
but it was thickly scarred with stumps,
and here and there a dead tree stood, tall
r . t and lonely r with the great moss, or the
wild ivy clinging to its withered branch
es. When the roresi went, me raspoerry
bushes came undoubtedly ; for it was the
place where we had been used to gather
raspberries ever since my remembrance.
Two or three seasons of raspberry gath
, . ering and torn - frocks, were all my
' memory could then boast, It is true ; . but
they were sufficient to fix every spot of
Brier Hill indelibly in my affections.
And now it was to become a mere plowed
, 'A field. .There- was not a stump, or a
patch of moss there that I did not know
and love, there were such cunning things
about them all. And then the thimble
berry bush that hung over that little
ledge of rocks on tne east sine, i uo not,
know' that I ever had any very definite
idea that Brier Hill belonged to me, but
. . ' I was very sure that the thimble-berries
did. Did I not watch them every year
from the first opening of the rose-like
flowers, to the last ripening of the fruit r
1 It was so easy to go round that -way at
night, when I went home from school.
There was a family of moles, too, that
1 was acquainted with, but of whom I
had never told any one. What would
become of them when the fire went over
Brier Hill ? Oh. dear ! it was a very hard
case the whole of it. I do not know that
I shed any tears on the subject, but I
know that I plead very earnestly with
my father to let Brier Hill remain what
he declared it to be 'a worthless patch
of brambles for me to tear my dresses
on.' I think, indeed, that I must have
been a very troublesome child for a farm
ers daughter. There was never an old
stump that I was willing to have dug out
or the ground, lest it Bnouiu uisiuru some
familiar tuft of wildflower or blue vio
lets: nor could the rolling logs, or the
decaying branches be moved from the
' meadows where they lay, without my
"' sending up an earnest plea in their be-
half. And when my father asked me
what I could want of those old rotten
logs among the grass, was itnot sufficient
to tell him that there the grass sprung
freshest and greenest in the spring, and
always grew so Deaumm ana tan r abu
and I do not know that I ever men
'" tioned it, but there was many a beetle
':?' ' ' and field-mouse that I was sure would
vi'i, , ',' . have no home if those old logs were dis
. : .!.' turbed.
: Butlshall never get to ray nest of
wild kittens, if I go on in this way,
lingering over the old farm. I went to
school with a sad heart the next morn
ing, feeling very much, I dare say, as
one does who has lost a large estate ; but
s; at night, when I came home from school
: t . oh how the fires were burning on Brier
Hill ! wreathing gloriously about the
- tall trees, hanging festoons of stars
upon the withered branches waving
broad banners of flame upon the air,
flinging like garlands of meteors every
' -j.)" "where. I had never seen any thing so
wonderful before, and rarely since. It
almost repaid me for having that favorite
ground turned into a plowed field. I
knew very well how land was i cleared
... -.. ... before, but it was the first piece of burn
i.r v ing timber I had ever seen. To those
who have witnessed this spectacle, no
description of it is necessary ; for . those
who have not, none will suffice, j
There were few tilings I feared in those
days ; but it was with a slow step, and a
fueling much, akin to awe, that I ap
i'." proacbed Brier Hill that night J I was
not quite sure whether I might go, but I
went; for I knew the workmen would
seu"me back if it were not safe. Slowly
I approached, looking wonderingly and
admiringly from one tree to another,
when I heard my name called by one of
the men near by. I looked round, and
saw Antoine and Hiliare, two of the
Canadian French hands, at work at a pile
'2 '' i - ' blackened logs not far off. They were
so blackened i and begrimmed, that I
hardly knew them. S
'Come here, Nelly,' said Hiliare, 'there
is something here for you.' ,
. , ( ... I went along, laughing to see how
' 1 " black and sooty they were, and asked him
what it was. ;
'In that tree,' he said, pointing to a
very large one that was burning 'very
rapidly, 'there is a nest of the handsomest
"' '; ' ' Wild kittens"you ever Baw. They havn't
got their eyes open yet, and if somebody
don't move them soon, they will all be
burned up.'
Why didn't you take them out?' said
I, indignantly.
'We no moder to all ze wild zings on
ste farm,' said Antoine, laughing. He
fc ' could not speak English as well as Hili
are. 'And zen who take care of he?
Spose he got die, ze fire burn him well
enough.'
This philosophy seemed to me savage
: in the extreme. To be sure they were
wild kittens, but then they were young
and who knew but that they would grow
up as tame as any others, if they were
well educated. Inquiring the. location
, , . - of their nest, I started through the fall-
1: ingclnders, to save them.
'Don't send ze child into zat fire,', said
Antoine. 'Me fetch he.'
And Antoine left his work, and went
to the tree ; and taking them out care
" 7 - fully from the hole ; between the roots
' where they -were lying, he laid them one
by one into my apron.
There were three of them, of a mottled
gray, striped like a tiger, and' nearly
three times as large as a kitten of the
same age. .They were the . handsomest
" ' kittens I ever saw, ' sure enough; and
though I was at first a little puzzled to
know what was to be done wjth them, I
had so admired their ample proportions
' before I got home, that it was fully set
' . : tied in my mind they were to have a home
at our house.
To be sure, we had already four kittens
' in a snug corner of the garret, besides
the 'brave old mother of them all,' who
had, that summer, lived throughlier six
teenth birthday, and reared her! family
of kittens spring and fall. I hadn't the
slightest doubt but that our old Kuty
would cheerfully adopt the little orphans.
. . And the result proved that I was not mis
taken.
- ' . V I laid them down" on the hearth before
, - the great fireplace in the kitchen, while
I went up to find old Kuty ; and the
family who had gathered round to see my
new treasure, waited to see what the cat
would do. ' I brought her in my arms,
and set her down upon the hearth. You
should have seen the anxious matronly
. ; jooic witit wmcn sne assumed tne new
responsibility. She did not hestitate a
moment about it, but she drew down her
luce with such a curious look ol anxiety.
' when' she saw the kittens, and began to
pur sorrowfully, as if she would have
said ; 'Dear a me, it was very care-worn
and weary I thought myself, with those
lour, little ones aDove there to nurse and
i, bring up; and now, here are three more
witn nobody but me to love and care for
them. Poor little dears ! how shall I ever
. .-. get them up to the nursery, and they so
-" big?' ,
" They were very big, but she growled
when we offered to assist her in carry
ing them up, and would not trust us to
touch them.The first one she let fall
when she attempted to seize it in her
mouth, but she got a firm hold next time,
:vnd did not stop till they were ali safely ,
1 Mlged'in her own nest. It was so funny
to see that old ipmndmother of a yellow
cat, mounting the stairs two at a time,
brood lying close beside her shoulder
almost as big as she. She did her duty
nobly, though, nor did she ever flag in
her care of them from that day forth. I
am not sure but it shortened her life in
the end, poor kitty.
The faintly or Old Kuty were tnrown
completely into the shadow by this new
arrival, and we even thought tliat the
old cat herself showed a preference for
the young she had adopted.
We have read somewhere of a hen sit
ting upon an alligators's eggs, and being
so roughly handled by the unbidden
nestlings when they hatched, as barely
to escape with her life ; but it was with
no such ingratitude that Kuty's kind
ness was retnrned. The gray kittens
were the pets of the household. To be
sure the children would sometimes run
very swiftly from the corner where they
were playing when, the deep growl was
heard or the long claws were unsheathed,
but if any hands were scratched, it was
done by the yellow kittens. The wild
ones belonged to a nobler race, and
seemed to think scratching quite beneath
their dignity. ' ' - -
There came a time when the family of
kittens .had to be diminished, they were
voted quite too numerous, bo they were
distributed among cousins and neigh
bors, and perhaps some of them met
with a harder fate: but if so, the family
were kind enough not to let me know of
it. But there was one plump, grizzly
treasure that was left for me. Lioness
I called her, from her noble lion-like
properties, and rare frolics did we have
through that merry autumn.
Lioness did not grow into a lank, awk
ward cat, as most kittens do, but retained
the plump, round properties she had
first shown, very much like a Newfound
land pup. She wished to follow me
wherever I went, and watched me with
the same careful affection that a noble
dog exhibits, growling, and showing
fight' in my defense when any thing sus
picious appeared. Even my fattier re
laxed from his usual dignity in the mat
ter of cats, and wonld drop .his news
paper, and sit by the half-hour, laughing
heartily over the wonderful gambols of
my pet; and he would even allow her to
race over his shoulders, and nestle her
face impudently in among his whiskers.
hne always attracted the attention ot
strangers who came in, and they would
say, 'What kind of a kitten have you
got there?' -O, it is Nellie's wild cat,'
was the answer ; arid 'Nellie's wild cat'
came to be a proverb throughout the
neighborhood. There were some curious
lines about her face and mouth, that,
aside from her rare antics, attracted
every person's attention. If I only had
a daguerreotype of her, I should be hap
py to give you her portrait, but I am sor
ry to say we never had it taken. It would
be well worth seeing.
Soon after the spring opened, Lioness
was missing one day. We searched for
her every where, but she was not to be
found, and 1 was very sorrowful. All
the next day she was gone ; but the third
morning, as I stood at my chamber win
dow, I saw her jump up on the
top of the bars which shut in the farm
road leading down from Brier Hill. I
was aoout to nan ner with a snout, Dutit
was checked at the first breath, by the
sight of a very large cat, with face and
body marked precisely like Lioness's,
her exact image upon a larger scale, that
jumped upon the bars by her side.
For a few moments they stood there
togetner l coulu not near wriat they
said, though I would have been very glad
to do so but presently Lioness sprang
into the road, and came toward the, house,
while the stately old cat we always
called her Lioness's, mother jumped
down the other side, and took her way,
without turning or looking back, up the
hill into the woods. This was before
sunrise, in - the morning. From that
time, a fortnight never went by without
our missing Lioness. She would be gone
two or three days, and then come down
tne mil in the morning with tne same
companion, and part . from her iu the
game way on the bars. ' .
I saw this parting only once again my
self, but I believe . it . was always seen
either by the girls- as they came from
milkiug, or , by ,the farm hands. We
thought these visits xf Lioness to her
mother In the woods a very singular
affair. " I used to talk to her about it
sometimes, and ask her what she did,
and what she saw in the woods ; and I
do not know but she understood me, for
she looked very wise, and rubbed against
my cheek, and purred as it she ' would
like to tell me if she could. i
At length she was taken sick My
father said that she was mad ; and when
I would steal away to her nest, aad strive
to nurse and fondle her, they put a
muzzle over her mouth, lest she shonld
bite me. I begged them not to do this,
for I was sure she was not mad. She had
shown no signs of biting. But when
my father came home at night, he said
she must be killed. This was dreadful.
It seemed to me quite as barbarous as if
she had been human, and I could not be
made to look upon it in any other light.
My tears at length succeeded in chang
ing the orders, so that the kitten was only
banished to a corner of the barn, which
it was . promised should be made com
fortable for her. . This was a duty, how
ever, to which I chose to look myself,
and it was a very hard thing for me to
leave her there at night. I stood for a
long time looking over the top; of the
little door where she lay, quivering and
writhing in pain. Many a time during
the night I woke to mourn over poor
Lioness; and in the morning I could
scarcely wait till I was dressed, before I
ran out to learn her fate. Antoine was
in the barn, and he put out his hand to
stop me, but I rushed by him, and jump
ing npon the hay, ' looked over the door.
There lay Lioness, stretched out and
dead, with every sign about her of the
dreaful death she died. She was mad!
I covered my face with my hands, and
burst into tears; and when I was able to
look up again, all traces of her were re
moved. . j
After this, those who were early at the
barn in the morning, were sure to see
the great grizzle gray cat start up with a
mournful howl for some lurking-place,
and set off with her stately, measured
trot toward the woods. For many weeks
this wailing watch continued, and then
the mother of Lioness disappeared, and
was seen no more.

A' late dispatch from Cincinnati says
tliat the fruit crop in that vicinity is

are more abundant than last year, above
the average in quantity and the fruit is

of so good a quality for ten years, while
the yield is fair. There has not been
such a crop of plums within a decade.

Mr. Brown, of Sangamon county, and
President of the Illinois State Asrricul-
tural Society, informs the Jacksonville
correspondent of the Missouri Democrat
that his wheat harvest occurred so early
this year that, after it was over, and the
wheat had been removed from the field
where it grew, he at once plowed under
the stubble and planted the ground in
corn, which is now up, and some six
inches nigh, (and he is hopeful of gather
ing a bountiful crop of corn therefrom
this fall. This is certainly extraordinary
a crop of wheat and a crop of corn from
the same ground in one season. ,
During the warm, dry days, remem
ber tliat the air circulating over
every acre of corn will contain in six feet
of height at least sixty gallons of water.
This quantity may be made available
many times over during a single night,
by simply keening the soil stirred and
mellow. Corn must have moisture as
well as heat. With the soil in the right
condition, it will get it while you sleep,
and however dry the weather, will absorb
at night sufficient moisture to prevent
curling. As the soil rapidly cools, it
drinks in the warm air, and takes up the
greater part of the water contained
therein. Don't negelcct to stir the soil
if you want corn.
Forrest Sheppard, Potosi, Mo., in the
Sural Herald, calls attention to the
'Eatable rooted Lily of Chili and Peru as
a substitute for the potato.' He says: 'It
is known as Alstroemer's tuberous lily,
and has been introduced to the notice of
the farmers and gardeners of Europe as
a substitute for the potato. - Its tubes
weigh from three to six ounces, are oval,
and not furnished with eyes like the po
tato. Its stems are slender, and twine
on other jplaats or sticks for support; its
leaves ovate ; its flowers mixed with
red and green and yellow, and its blos
soms appear in June and July. Its
tubers are cooked for food in Chili, Peru
and other places.'
How many ages passed in the Infancy
of the race before man learned to spin
and weave the wool of the sheep, we
have no means of knowing. The first
generation of man, as history makes us
acquainted with him, cultivated the
sheep. Among the patriarchal tribes,
their herds were their chief care and
most fruitful source of wealth. As early
as the time of Moses, the Egyptians were
great sheep-breeders. Weaving, and
consequently spinning was practiced by
the Egyptians from time immemorial.
Representations of looms have been found
by Sir J.W. Wilkison, among the ancient
monuments of the Egyptians, and they
were celebrated for their textile manu
factures of fine linen and other cloths,
which were exported to and eagerly pur
chased by foreign nations. Their fine
linen and embroidered work the yarn
and woolen stuns of the upper and lower
country, were frequently mentioned and
highly esteemed
. Take a cartload of peat mud, a barrel
of wood ashes, and a barrel of the flour
of bone. Tip the bone dust down on the
basin prepared for the compost and on
that tip the ashes in a body, spreading
them over the bone. Take then a bushel
of feculent matter from the privy, and
put water enougn to it, stirring it up at
the same time, to wet the bone dust and
ashes pretty thoroughly. Apply the
semi-liquid to the top of the ashes as they
lie on the top of the bone dust, and then
cover the whole with the remainder of
the muck. The pile will heat after
twenty-four hours, and if not disturbed
wiu. keep hot for a long time, ' but- m
proaching, the following may be of im
portance to the cultivators and consumers
of this favorite fruit : While grapes may
be grown in such profusion and with so
little labor, it is a remarkable fact that a
supply for every household in the country
is not produced, not only in the regular
season of them, but to last till spring.
There is no trouble iu keeping grapes
through the winter as fresh as when they
are first gathered. In seasons when
other fruit is scarce, no greater luxury
can he enjoyed than a dish of fresh grapes
in winter. In gathering grapes for keep
ing fresh, they should be allowed to hang
on the vines until they are fully ripe, and
then gathered with care to avoid bruising.
The fairest bunches should be chosen to
put away, and with a pair of small scissors
all defective and bruised grapes should
be cut off. They should then be put in
boxes well ventilated, and remain for a
few days, when they should be packed in
boxes holding six or eight pounds each,
first sprinkling the bottom of the box with
a layer of mahogany saw-dust, or, what
is better, turning chips, then a layer of
grapes, and then saw-dust alternately to
the top. It is not important that the Ibos
be tight : it is better tnat it should not be.
These should be put in the coolest place
in the house, where the air is dry.

A. A. Freeman, Esq., member-elect
from Haywood county, Texas, made in
the presence of several well-known gen
tlemen, the following remarkable story :
'J. B. Mixey, an intelligent citizen of
Bell's Depot, in that county, and keeper
of the hotel at that place, and for whom
A. A. Freeman vouches as a reliable and
truthful man, was fishing in a canoe on
July 7, in Forked Deer Kiver, near Bell's
Depot, and in that part of the river be
tween the railroad and dirt road bridges,
when his attention was called to an ob
ject in the river, some fifty yards distant,
which presented the appearance ot a man
drowning. Maxey rowed his boat with
in ten teet ot tne onject, ana saw a re
markable creature, as the following de
scription will testily : it had a tace per
fectly white, witn features like those or a
human being. It had something like
moss on its head instead of hair, and its
neck was longer than the neck of a man.
Its body, down to the waist, or so much of
it as was exposed, was covered with Diack
and white spots. It was as large as an or
dinary man, and had large black eyes.
Mixey was within ten feet of it for ten
minntes. He did not see any arms, it
looked at him and slowly turned around
and disappeared iu the water. Thomas
Jveal, Esq., told Mr. Freeman that he saw
the same thing at the same place about
three years ago, but did not tell of it be
cause he thought he would be laughed at.
James Neal and Isaac Ward say they saw
the same creature.'

How Not To Do It.
A Nottingham Englishman who was
already assessed, went from there to
Birmingham some time ago, leaving 5
Of income tax unpaid. He was followed
to' Birmingham and requested to pay up
his arrears. He disregarded the notice
served upon him. What is more he stuck
them in his office and annotated them
satirically. At last he was informed in
red letters that If he did not pay he
would be 'proceeded against.' Being a
man of nerve he took no notice; of the
threat. Then in the course of a ' month
or two he received a huge foolscap letter
written, not lithographed from Som
erset house, asking the grounds on which
he declined to pay. He repiied,alter aweek
or two, that he had not the money. Two
or tnree montns afterward ne was told.
that this was not'a reason of whicli 'her
majesty's commissioners could take cog
nizance.' He failed to see this, and 'her
majesty's commissioners' spent fully ten
montns in arguingtne point still lu writ
ing. At last 'her majesty's commission
ers' became peremptory. They wrote.
through their - secretary, that they de
clined to argue any further; the money
must be paid. The defaulter replied that
ne 'was not accustomed, as a gentleman,
to peremptory letters of this kind,' and
that he should, therefore, 'decline.tohold
any further correspondence with the de
partment, well, the matter went on
for five years,' and during the 'whole of
tins time, tne peccant person never paid a
farthing of income tax. His answer to
all appeiations was that he was 'in cor
respondence with the department.' At
last a warrant was issued and entrusted
to the sherin of the district for execution.
The defaulter being in lodgings, the
sheriff's officer concluded it would be of
no use to distrain, so he took the default
er's body. This was illegal. An officer
has no right to take the body of an in
come tax defaulter until he has distrained
and finds the proceeds of the distraint in
sufficient to meet the demands. The re
sult was that the defaulter commenced an
action for false imprisonment against the
officer and did not withdraw it until the
sheriff had paid the amount due on ac
count of the tax and costs, as well as a
small douceur, which sufficed to pay the
expenses incurred by the defaulter in
giving a dinner to a few friends to cele
rate the event.
An old Connecticut lady who was verv

consequent disuse of whale oil, asked,

An accurate farmer has furnished - the
Country Gentleman a statement of his ex
periments with feeding -cut feed and
meal to his horses, accompanied with
weighing and measuring. . He cut oat
straw about an inch lonewith a rawhide
cylinder machine, and this chopped
straw is then treated with corn-meal and
bran mixed in about equal quantities as
to weight, so that each horse has about a
bushel of cut feed and three quarts of the
meal and bran twice in each day. i Some
times hay is cut instead of oat straw, ao
both are mixed. It' is found that two
hundred pounds per week of this mixture
of corn-meal and bran, added to the cut
leea, will Keep a pair ot working horses
in the best condition. This he is satisfied
from experiment is less than two-thirds
the cost of keeping them on uncut dry hay
and whole grain. The corn-meal alone
is not so good for horses as when mixed
with bran. An excellent meal Is made
of ground oats. The fodder is cut bv
horse power on stormy or spare days and
stored in large bins, so as to furnish
always a surplus on hand.
In the regions where green .crops are
turned under for manure there is ; a di
versity of practice. Some plough when
the crop is in its most succulent state.
The rule for clover is when the ! heads
are about half turned brown. The rea
sons offered for this practice is that the
bulk of the crop is then the greatest, and
undergoes most rapid decom position in
the, soil. Others do not plough in clover
uum taie in tne iau ana arte r it has been
pastured. The reasons given for this
practice are; 1st, thatturninffin the el ri
ver green makes the soil sour, and has a
tendency to produce sorrel. 2. It has a
bad innuence on subsequent crops. 3. In
waiting until fall you have the advantage
ot pasturing, and if the cattle are kept
upun me paniure, as tney snouia : be,
everything the field produces is returned
to it. 4. More carbonaceous matter is
returned to the soil. What you lose in
the tops, you gain in the roots of the clo
ver, which have four or five months
longer to grow. o. uetter ctods follow
Sonie of the best farmers in Pennsylvania
follow tltis method altogether. ' Others
still wait until the following spring, and
turn in the clover just as it begins to
grow.

uiereiure we nave no interest in pro
ducing butter, but aim to secure a large
flow of milk. In view of that we have
experimented somewhat in the matter of
teed. I irst, we see that the hay is of the
best quality. As to provender, we have
tried almost every kind, and perhaps
with the exception of oil cake, all kinds
in use. Brewers' grain increases the
quantity but not the quality; dishonest
milkmen need not water their milk. Oat
meal produces more milk than shorts.
and of a better quality. Indian and cot
ton seed and meal improve the quality
but do not influence the quantity as much
as oat meal or shorts. My method of
leeiung is, to ten bushels ot oats add two
bushels of corn and grind together j scald
the meal and add water enouen to make
it thin and blood warm. In the winter
the cows are kept in a warm stable, well
bedded, and not exposed to cold nor
storms, and also the chill is taken from
their drink. The result is we have a
large flow of miik and make a profit. We
find there is a great difference in cows
on the same feed. In mv stuble are two
cows that come In at about the same time
and have the same quantity and nuiilitv
of food. One produces one-third more
than the other, from which we are to
learn to select good milkers, if thev do

The Protestant Churchman says that
the Low Churchmen will ask the Gene
ral Convention "that a declaration like
the following be prefixed to the Prayer
book, or immediately following the pre-
lace: Whenever throughout the book
the word 'priest' is used as designating a
minister of this church, it is to be under
stood as 'presbyter,'- and : meaning the
same..' " The grounds upon which this
request is hased are: 1 Because Christian
ministers are never designated as priests
in the New Testament : 2 Because priestly
functions are never ascribed to the min
isters or Christ m God's Word; 3 Be
cause the claim that the ministry is a
priesthood intrudes within the sphere of
the exclusive and all sumcient priesthood
of Christ ; and 4 Because a human priest

has now fixed the 10th of September for
his .Episcopal visit to Christ Church, and
has addressed a note to that effect to the
wardens of that church. These wardens
seem to be foemen worthy of the Bishop's
mitre. . Whether, as in Mr. Cheney's
case, he will turn his "shepherd's hook"
into a rod to drive them into submission
is not known, but it is generally con
ceded that in the last correspondence he
has been sorely worsted, and in unwit

some say ana aitnougn there is no
official authority for the statement, it is
widely credited that incase he proceeds
any further against Mr. Cheney, steps

tne nouse oi msnops.
Further: correspondence has taken
place between Bishop Whitehouse and
tne waraens oi nis cmeago church re
sulting in the reading of the following
notice in that church :
The Right Reverend, the Bishop of
tms diocese, win noia an Episcopal visi

on the fourteenth Sunday after Trinity,
being the 10th day of December next, at
the usual hour of morning service, the
Bishop having been pleased, on request,
to cnange tne time irom tne I3tn or Au
gust to the 10th of September.
The notice was read by Rev. Dr. Kel
ly, (Mr. Cheney being absent,) who of-
nciaieu at tne cnurcn by the invitation
of the wardens. Warden Albert Crane,
in a card in to-day's papers, makes the
following explanation :
"There is nothing in . the correspond
ence about some minister in good stand
ing to present the candidates, but it was
simply to arrange for a later day ofcon-
nrmation, as many 01 tne class were ab
sent, It did expressly state that when
the day was selected, the rector and offi
cers of Christ Church, with great pleas
ure, made all needful preparations to re
ceive you &c. Surely if the rector of
Christ Church, the Rev. Charles E.
Cheney.is to receive the Bishop, and make
all needful preparations, it would be
quite unnecessary to seek the aid of anv
other clergyman. This correspondence
grew out of a letter from the Bishop to
the Wardens, during the rector's ab
sence, and would only have been proper
during such absences. The rector, offi
cers and congregation of Christ Church,
claim they have ever recognized the
Bishop's Episcopal authority, but this
does not stop them from expecting that
bucu autuority suaii oe legally executed.

marrying: a Princess.
The marriage of the Princess Louise
with the Marquis of Lome, was not, ac
cording to late English gossip by any
means the love match it has been popu
larly supposed to be, and the wedded pair
are far from happv together. The storv
is, that the Princess inherits her mother's
quick and imperious temper, and the two
women had such frequent quarrels that
the peace of the royal domestic circles
was quite destroyed. The marriage of
the Princess and her residence elsewhere
being the only resource m the emergen- I
cy, a certain number of young noblemen
were selected and Invited to Windsor
Castle, and the Princess required to
choose a husband from among them, she
obeyed and her choice fell upon the young
Marquis, but there was no more love be
tween them than usually attends such
business-like arrangements. The. result
has been, that the Princess' temper is as
bad as ever, only it is exercised on a new
obiect. The exclusion of the Marauis
from the royal circle, and the consequent
separation of him from his wife on state
occasions, is said to be owing to these
conjugal differences, and not to any law
of etiquette. It is even reported that not
long ago the yueen was sent tor and
went down to Claremont, the residence
of the young couple, to prevent a com
plete rupture. All this accords so well I
with what Is known of the relations be
tween Victoria and Albert that It Is prob
ably true.
