A Wonderful Bishop.

Goethe tells the following story, which anus
ingiy illustrates the capacity for drink OF the
Rhinelanders
"The Bishop of Mayence once delivered
sermon against drunkenness, and after paint
ing in the strongest colors the evils of over in
diligence, concluded as follows - But the
abuse of wine does not exclude its use. for il
is written that wine rejoices the heart of man.
Probably there is no one in my Congregation
who cannot drink four bottles of wine without
feeling any disturbance of his senses but if
any man at the seventh or eighth bottle so
forgets himself as to abuse and strike his wife
or children and treat his best friends as enc.
mics, let him look into his conscience, and in
future always stop at the sixth bottle. Yet,
II after drinking eight, or even ten or twelve
bottles, he can still take his Christian neigh
Dor lovingly by the hand, and obey the orders
OF his spiritual and temporal superiors, let him
thankfully drink his modest draught. He
must be careful, however, as to taking any
more, for it is seldom that Providence gives
any one special grace to drink sixteen bottles
at sitting, as it has enabled me, its unwor-
thy servant, TO do without either neglectipg
my duties or losing my temper"

Some months ago was called to attend lady of
Williamsburg, N. Y. who had long been suffering
from troublesome uterine disease. Its presence was
marked by constant vaginal discharge, sometimes
OF Watery consistency and sometimes OF creamy and

some TIME, put constantly grew worse. Vaginal ex-

A Dr0ll Military Order.

A late Bohemian paper prints the following
humorous order sent from the commissary de-
partment in Prague to the branch depot of
commissary stores in Czaslau:
1t is much to be deplored that the grain in
your depot is to such an extent deyoured by
rats and mice. The commissary is according
ly ordered TO keep the cat of the store rooms
to her duties; but if age or indisposition disa-
bles her from attending 10 her calling, she is
to be presented to the board, and ordered to
the Prague hospital for light duty in the wood
shed. In this case an entirely new cat. en-
do~ed with all the requisite qualifications. is
to be installed, and her responsibility pointed
out, and it necessary she be stimulated in her
calling by appropriate rewards. Finally, it is
recommended to the store room officials to
take the most strenuous measures against noe
turnal loafing and immoral love affairs of the
stole-room cat in office, but especially to pre-
vent her running about on the store-house
roofs, and represent to her that the service re-
quires her presence not on the garrets and in
vaults. A report of the success of these meas
ures will be returned.

TrOtting Oxen.

Travellers between Naples and Rome, few
years ago, used to be astonished at the man
ner in which that numbering vehicle, the Ital-
ian diligence, was drawn over the road by
a combined team of horses and oxen. A
friend relates his experience in that quarter,
in 1856: The heavy hybrid between n ON,
nlbus and stage-coach moved at good speed
over an excellent road, the power consisting
OF three wheel-horses abreast forward of these.
and then yoke OF white oxen forward of the
horses. This, to an American eye, singular
team trotted along the road at about the Or
dnary speed of our stages here at home" We
learn from western paper, just received, that
mail carrier in Michigan now uses pair of
Iexan oxen for carrying the mail, something
after the Italian fashion. These oxen are
yoked to cart, and trot as we'll as horses.
making fifty miles day, two days each week,
that being the number of times the mail is
