A GOOD STORY ABOUT THE BISHOP OF OXFORD.---
It is said that when the Bishop was travelling east-
wards to attend the Church Congress at Norwich, a lady
sitting opposite to him commented in flattering terms on
the eloquence and ability of the great Anglican divinc',
quite unconscious that she was addressing him. "But
why, sir," she added, "do people call him Soapy Sam?''" Well, madam," replied the bishop, "I suppose it is '7;
cause he has always been in a good deal of hot water, su``
always manages to come out with clean hands."
On Saturday evening an entertainment was given
by Mrs. Ellen Monso Di Villa, at the Literary and
Scientific Institution, BrunswickHouse,Wandsworth-road;
The programme was headed " Readings from the Poets,
but the subjects were all delivered from memory with Or'
prising accuracy. In the three poem; " Virginia" (da;
caulay), " The Diver" (Schiller), "Death of Marmion
(Scott), this lady exhibited wonderful command of 'Voice
and tragic power, and was listened to with profound attnn"
tion ; and the lighter selections were also very effectively
rendered. Mrs. Monso Di Villa was loudly applauded at
the conclusion of the entertainment, and the thanks of the
meeting were duly awarded for her talented services, which
were offered gratuitously. Percy M. Hart, Esq., F-11"C''g.
(the Hon. Sec. of the Institution), presided.
