principle. its choice of • representative at the late election
shows. What a tine sense of the connection between
Christianity and Conservatism, and of the comfort to be
anticipated from a union of the two in kitchen as well as
in hall, in that advanced locality, is indicated in the

AFFIDAVIT AND AFFIRMATION.
An Agnostic you call yourself, do you I Why loth.
When such is your creed, to be put on your oath?
Can an oath in your system be more than mere patter:
And from that point of view what does taking it matter
Yet to taking an oath why confine your negation,
While accepting • solemn, so-called, affitatation I
If unto the former there's no respect due,
What solemnity, pray, has the latter for you?
After all, you're perhaps not quite sure of the ground
Upon which you object by an oath to be bound,
Have • conscience too timid for telling a lie.
And but doubt the belief you profess to deny.

The hundred-and-third annual exhibition of this society
will be held at Worcester. An alteration will this year
be made in the days upon which the yard will be open

on Monday and closing on Friday, to forthcoming show
will open on Wednesday, the 2nd of June, and close on
the evening on Monday. the 7th of June—thus follow.
hag the late example of the Royal Agricultural Society
in making the two cheap days fall on Saturday and
Monday, with a view to the convenience of the masses.
There is little doubt considering the close proximity of
Worce ter to the dense population of Birmingham
and the intervening districts that in the event of tine
weather, the attendance on the last two clays will be
exceedingly large.
The exhibition itself will be such as to have been
hardly surrooicil by any of its magnificent predecessors.
In the implement department there is a large increase
over last year, th.re being in the department of
machinery in motion no less than 85 compartments,
occupied by all the leading lima of agricultural engineers.
The yard, which is-laid oi.t very much on the same
plan as that at Exeter, ic very full, and in fart
numerous applications have lean declined from want of
space Many of t e large exhi itors from the
northern and eastern mlnufacturing centres, who,
owing to the remoteness f the exhibition last year
were conspicuously absent, will be weU represented at
Worcester.

victory they oral. won. The Home Secretary bee decided
t incorwirate, in lb. Bill renewing the Ballot Act, a

been led to this conclusion mainly by his experiences at
Oxford. It is believed that the adoption of such •

when he records his vote, ought to be sober; and the cha-

The relations between Roumania and Bulgaria are

country, and by discourtesy towards the Roumanian
ambassador.

A BISHOP ON 'Co-OP." —ln presiding at the
Co-operative Congress at Newcaatle-on-Tyne on
Monday, the Bishop of Durham characterised
cooperation as a development of liberty and Free
Trade, a harmoniser of differences between capital and
labour, and • potent aid to moral and political
progress. Whenever co-operation had failed, it was
owing to its ambitious schemes, which the education
of the future would remedy.

Knatchbull-Hugeseen to the peerage resulted as
follows ;--Mr. G`rompton Roberts (C), 1145; Sir J.

the servant girl had Jima put on the fire exploded with
a terrific report, blowing the grate out into the
middle of the room, swaddling the brick and iron

the Order now numbering over half a million members.
He strongly urged that the surplus funds of the
lodged should be appropriated to • superannuation
fund. The directors report referred to the unsatis-
factory financial condition of some lodges, and pressed
on the committee as a matter to be dealt with in •
determined manner the duty of insisting on a strict
adherence to the rules of the society, one of which
, would render financial reforms imperative. The

the 120 unregistered districts to register. The auditors
reported that a Unity levy will be necessary.
Mr. Bradlaugh has decided to take the oath in the
House of Commons. He says he does not regard the
oach as an appeal to the Deity, and therefore to have
taken it voluntarily or without protest would have
been an act of hypocrisy on his part. As, however, it
would be ungracious for him to appeal to the House of
Commons against the decision of the Select Committee,
and as a vote in his favour could only be obtained
after a bitter party debate which would involve the
Government and the Liberal party in his anti.
theological views, he has consented to take the oath.

at the dinner, and the Lord Mayor of London, who is
• native of Truro, was among the guests. A review
of the local volunteers, • display of fireworks, an
illumination, and a military concert concluded the
festivities.

At the Oddfellows Conference at Ring's Lynn on
Thursday, the items of the balance-sheet caused
considerable discussion. It was proposed that the
sum of £2,147 now standing to the credit of the Unity
Sick and Funeral Fund should be invested. This was
negatived by 145 to 117 votes. The alteration of rulea
