The paddlewheel steam yacht Enchantress, 1,
Staff-Commander John E. Petley, is under orders
to leave Plymouth Sound this afternoon (immedi-
ately after the arrival of the train due from Pad-
dington at 6.30 p.m.) for the Channel Squadron.
She will convey letters and supernumeraries, and it
is probable, now that the cruise is nearly concluded,
that some of the Lords of the Admiralty or their
Staff will return to the Channel in her.

LADVERTISEMENT. I —IIOIIO Way'S Ointlno ti t. —Scald head,
ring worm, and all the cutaneous disorders peculiar to
children are permanently removed by the use of this
healing and renovating Ointment. Mothers of families
should never be without it, for it may be applied at all
times without danger of any kind, as it is composed entirely
of pure balsams, and should it not do good it cannot pos-
sibly do harm. The parts affected should be first fomented
with warm water, and then the ointment should be rubbed
in briskly, except where there is any tenderness, irritabi-
lity, or excoriation. In that case the painful spot should
be gently lubricated with the ointment twice every day,
and the surrounding skin only rubbed therewith.

.BISHOP MAGEE ON CHU.RCH AND STATE.

At the re-opening of tue church at South Rilworth,
Leicestershire, after a thorough restoration, the' Bishop' of
Peterborough was present. At the usual luncheon the
Bishop expressed his views respecting Church :and
State. Ho said ho hoped 7 that ' many years
would elapse ere men would forget, or find .it
practically impossible,' to join "the Queen and the
Church "in one toast. When they joined them together
they expressed a great and vital truth as to the happiness
of any country. The Queen in her relation to the Church
represented and stood for the laity of the entire king-
dom, and in her person as sovereign and as repre-
sentative the laity was represented in our national Church.
The lay participation in the authority for the government of
the Church, in its own limits and properly defined Sphere,
was the essential element in the government and susten-
ance of the Church in this country. The happy union of
Church and State had been the real strength of this
country for years past, and ho trusted that
there would always be this union of religion and
politics. The false notion that the State, as a State, had
nothing to do . with religion, the clergy must continue
to protest against, for tho words "Church and Queen"
truly represented devotion to the Church and loyalty to
the Sovereign. Church and State never so truly fulfilled
their highest functions or realised their true ideal as when
united together. Their union was a blessing, and. their
separation would be an evil.

WONDERFUL STORY.

It is said that in the tombs of the Necropolis of
ancient Egypt two kinds of mummies have been found.
One is incomplete—that is to say, all organs necessary to
life have been separated from them ; the other, on the
contrary, is quite complete. Having observed this, a
Swedish chemist, Dr. Grusselbech, who has the reputa-
tion of being both great and learned, Professor at the
University of Upssal, has come to the conclusion that the
Egyptian mummies are not all, as has been said and be-
lieved for some thousands of years, bodies embalmed by,
any process of preservation whatever, but that they are•
really the bodies of individuals whose life has been momen-
tarily suspended, with the intention of restoring them at
some future time, only the secret of preservation has been
lost. Meanwhile Professor Gruesclbcch adduces many
proofs in support of his idea; among others, his experi-
ments during the last ten years, which, be says, have
always proved successful. He took a snake, and treated it
in such a manner as to benumb it as though it had been
carved in marble, and it was so brittle that had he
allowed it to fall it would have broken into fragments.
In this state he kept it for one or several years, and
then restored it to life by sprinkling it with a stimulating
fluid, the composition of which is his secret. For fifteen
years the snake has been undergoing an existence composed
of successive deaths and resurrections, apparently without
sustaining any harm. The professor is reported to have
sent a petition to his Government, requesting that a
criminal who has been sentenced to death may be given to
him, to treat in the same manner as the snake, promising
to restore him to life in two years. It is understood that
the man who undergoes this experiment is to be pardoned.
`Whether the Swedish Government has accepted or rejected
the learned chemist's proposal is not known.

THE IVOMEA'S _RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN

RUSSIA.

Will it be believed ? Mr. 11E11 is to reap the first fruits
of his work. " The subjection of " Women" in Russia—"Semi-
barbarous Russia," as some delight to call it. A correspon-
dent of the Daily News vouches for the fact. "It may be
of interest" the correspondent writes, "to those of your
readers who are interested in the "Woman Move-
ment" to learn that even Russia is becoming excited
on that subject. Mr. Mill's work on "The
Subjection of Women" is enjoying a wide cir-
culation in this country, and three extended re-
views of it, all highly approving its sentiments,
have recently appeared in the journals of Moscow
and St. Petersburg. Nor is the question without certain
signs of popularity. In a domestic drama now having a
run at the Moscow Theatre, for example, a studious young
lady says sharply to her old-fashioned mother, " You ought
to know that everybody is now saying that woman ought
to be free,' the sentiment, it is said, never failing to elicit
loud applause. It is proposed to hold a grand Woman's
Rights Convention at St. Petersburg, to which Mr. Mill—a
sympathetic letter from whom to some feminine reformers
of that city has already been published—is to be invited.
It is even claimed that the Czar himself is not unfriendly
to the principle of the equality of the sexes, and, at least,
there has been thus far no public manifestation of any
objection on his part to the agitation which has already
given rise to one public meeting. The exact form that
the movement will take in a country where even the
male sex itself has not yet been enfranchised
can only be disclosed by the future ; but some of
your Conservatives in England may feel more resigned
to tho advances which tho cause has made in England when
they have turned their eyes to the opposite point of the
compass from that at which the agitation is commonly
supposed to have originated, and discovered that even
RUssia, in her slow, glacier-like movement, has arrived at
a point when some change in the legal and political rela-
tions of woman seems desirable and feasible."

The Archbishop of York, who has inhibited the
Rev. C. Voysey, the Rector of Ilealaugh, at present under
ecclesiastical prosecution for heresy, from doing duty in his
church, has put in his place the Rev. W. C. Bellhouse, Master
of Tadcaster Grammar School.

„On Thursday morning there was a "special corn-
racil9ration of the Holy Eucharist ” in the church of St.
Ethelbuini; Bishopsgate, in connection with the death of
tho Bishop of Exeter, and it was announced that prayer
would bo offered.e that a Catholic-minded successor
might be appointed."\The church was filled chiefly by
men, not more than' half,a:dozen women being present.
Shortly after twelve o'clock a young man habited in a
black cassock came from the vestry-room swinging a censer,
and walked round the church, which was soon filled with
incense. The services were of a very " High Church "
character.

It is stated in a French paper that the Hindoes
in tho environs of Bombay have beest much startled by the
appearance of their God Vishnu, who has several times been
seen at night whirling past them on a celestial wheel like a
flash of fire. Directly he approaches them they prostrate
themselves in the dust. Yet all the time it is not really
Vishnu ; it is only a certain Englishman who, ambitious to
::,e the first velocipede rider under an Asiatic sun, has pre-
ide`7l. liinself with ono of these vehicles, but finding that
the hcaTqndered it an encumbrance rather than a luxury
in tho daytLniaMs compelled to take his exercise upon It at
night, by the aall# a lantern.

PAT AND THE NAGISTRATE.—" Please your lord-
ship's honour and glory; t' Tom, "1 shot the hare
by accident."—" By accideir remarked Lord Kilskid-
derry.—" I was firing at a bush, asncl the baste ran across
my aim, all of his own accord."—"TlO gamekeeper tells a
different story," replied his lordshille—o Och! don't put
faith in what that man says," said Tont\ltpn, "when he
never cares about spakin' the truth anyhov7..,,l!e tould me
t'other day yer lordship was not so fit to fill tl'.4 _rat of
justice as a jackass !"—" Ay, ay," exclaimed VispUllt
Kilskidderry, "indeed ! and what did you say ?"—" Plaise
your lordship, I said your lordship was."
AN IMPORTANT REGISTRATION CASE.--A decision
which is said to affect the votes of 800 claimants was given
in the City of London Registration Court on Thursday.
An occupier claimed a vote for a counting-house consisting
of two rooms communicating internally with each other,
and entering from a door on the common stairs, for which
he paid a yearly rent of £65. '-This claim was o')jected to
by Mr. Harper (for the Conservatives), on the greund that
the premises were not structurally separated from the rest
of the building. The revising barrister held , that there
was a sufficient severance to entitle the claimanlsto a: vote
Mr. Harper applied for a case for the Court of Conii-IoP
Pleas, which the revising barrister granted.

ROMANTIC LOVERS.—The romantic ease of
cutting and wounding at Stratford-on-Avon has had an
equally romantic termination. The prisoner, Charlotte
Burchell, a young girl, attempted to cut the throat of
Arthur Stephens, the son of a fanner with whom she had
lived, and threatened to renew the attack unless he eloped
with her. lie consented, and they walked all night,
through a storm of wind and rain ; but on reaching Strat-
ford next morning, a telegram having preceded them, the
girl was arrested, taken before the magistrates, and re-
manded. At the adjourned hearing, Stephens refused to
appear against his sweetheart, and she was discharged.
The late Mrs. Jane W— was equally remarkable
for kindness of heart and absence of mind. One day she
was accosted by a beggar, whose stout and healthy
appearance startled even her into a momentary doubt
of the needfulness of charity in this instance. "Why,"
exclaimed the good old lady, "you look well able to work."
—" Yes," replied the supplicant; "but I have been deaf
and dumb these seven years."—" Poor man, what a heavy
affliction !" exclaimed Mrs. at the same time giving
him relief with a liberal hand. On returning home she
mentioned the fact, remarking, "What a dreadful thing it
is to bo deprived of such precious faculties !"—" But how,"
asked her sister," did you know that the poor man had been
deaf and dumb for seven years ?"—" Why" WWI 69 Iluie
