In the rcigu of Queen Anne, John Camp

Campbell, Duke Of Argyle and Greenwich"
John Campbell. Duke Of Argyle and Green

ed, during pleasure, q Master General of
| the Ordnance. This was at that time q very
important Office OF trust and patronage.
In 1901 the list of peers of Scotland in

In 1905 Lord Archibald Campbell (second

In the long-past days OF Pope Innocent
Ill. whose eXertions In the cause of Chris
.ian;ty took various forms, there lived a
plain, honest bishop, Of the name Of John
Scott. who in the year 1900 was presented
to the biShopric Of Dunkeld, who by his elo-
qucnce and diligence, secured at once the
appreciation Of the people and the archbish-
| op. Taking advantage of his influence and
popularity. he consulted with some zeal
Gus friends, who We're equally with
himself devoted to the work Of the ministry,
so rs to remove any cause of Jealousy. At
the proper time the Rev: Mr.. Scott pre-
pared a memorial, which he presented to
his Holiness, setting forth that it would be
| necessary to erect, either in conjunction
with or separate from the Jurisdiction Of
Dunkeld. u quod Sacrd or new biShopric,
separating the district Of Dunkcld from
| Argyle. The Pope, as was expected,
regarded the proposal of the pious
and worthy prelatc, and granted the
| prayer Of the petition, so that Argyle be-
game separate sec. with some Of the neigh
boring isles, such as Lcslnore. attached,
and which were visited periodically by
l boat indeed, it was very soon selected as
headquarters and permanent residence of
the new bishop. IT was several years before
| the distinction granted took place, when
John Of Leicester was ATchdeacon of LO-
THAN. The Dunkeld jurisdiction did
not suffer by the arrangement; it was for
tunatc i'll securing 4 succession Of good
men. In 1914 Hugh de Sieillo became
Bishop Of Dunkeld. and history has writ
ten his character-" charitable and hui
name man." Then, and since, be has come
down to posterty as "the poor mans
bishop so that in 1914, as in 1870, there
were bishops who cared for their " cure
Of souls" (and from the peculiarly of
the title it must be presumed also for
their bodily and secular wants.) The
church WAS named after st. Molocus, who
lived about the middle Of the 10Th century.
His bones are said to rest in some part of
the editice, which we infer is with careful
tradition pointed out, and which Lorne
and Louise will no doubt visit for q
sombre, reflective lesson, SO much in
unison with the reposing and affectionate
demeanor Of their youthful lives, hal
lowed by the example of n royal mother,
who often repairs to Frogmore to reflect
on the secluded remains of the great and
| good. We abstain from saying n single
premature word on the modern history Of
| a family whose armorial shield will soon be
Iemblazoned with augmentations Of the
highest order, further than that never
| mltre in the long line Of the Bishops of
Argyle pressed brow more thoroughly
developed by the arch Of cultivated ability
and bcnevolence than that which supports
| the circle of the ducal coronct, so APPLY up
borne by his Grace, who sustains the patri-
monial title Of Argyle.
