According to the London Times. there is scarce a
man of genius in England, in any of the arts, from
the art of war down to the art of making iron rail-
ings In one of its leaders, lamentng the dearth of
eminent talent of Great Britain, once so fruitful of
great men, that journal says:

be conscious not only of some natural deficiencies
but even of temporary observation of its powers
We have had some good painters, though even they
are finding their matches abroad, but for the rest-let

body of the British clergy If the pulpit just now

in these two years two splendid mansions have beer
