A BISHOP IN A PIS.

The Bishop of Voltera, one of the clerical
loud uiouthed antagonists of the Sardinian
government, and stout partisans of the house
of Lorraine and legitimacy, became lately
the laughing-stock of all Tuscany. Summoned
by a circular of the political authorities
to celebrate a Te helm for the arrival of
Victor Emmanuel in Tuscany, and to chaunt the
" Domine italvum fac regem nostrum Victorem
ginmanueleni," he wanted to know the conduct of the
other bishops beforehand, for fear of being the
only recusant prelate in the country. Having
received the circular on Saturday, too late for any
regular correspondence, he telegraphed to the
Archbishop of Pisa, known for his stubborn ultra-
montanien, asking for advice. The clerks of the
telegraph (Ace at Pisa, much amused to see even
the lion of Voltera beset with scruples, thought it
an excellent joke to confuse the prelate ; they an-
swered without signing, " Do as you think beet ; I
chaunt." Having got this reply, the bishop cele-
brated the Pe Dews with the greatest pomp, and
rayed most sealowdy for the excommunicated
ing. All his sock wa.s astonished awl ratified by
his sudden conversion, when to his dismay
he received a rebuke from the Archbishop of Pisa.
Their correspondence led of course to the discovery
of the trick of the clerks, and the prelate, instead
of remaining silent, rushed into print, and in noti-
fication of his consistency published a letter to the
Arnie/tie, in which be complains of the foul
means by which he was wheedled into a Te Deum
and prayer for the King. He showers every possible
abuse with priestly unction upon the heads of the
devoted clerks, and reminds them that a prayer
thus obtained turns intoacurse ; but all his clamour
fails to excite public indignation ; the clerks re-
ceived a reprimand for decency's sake, and every-
body laughs at the prelate, who cannot deny that
he had aims scruples about the way in which the
excommunication wax to be understood, and pre-
ferred to he guided by the example of the arch-
biahop thau by his own unflinching principles.
