oxford and the Ihiyfy-aine Ayficles.-Tbe
Oxford Convoeation' has resolved that the
Thirty nine Articles arc no longer to form
q subject Of examination, even for members
Of the Church OF England, except in the
Honor School Of Theology. The Guardian
says: "The change is q serious one, more
serious than it looks at first sight. 1t is
idle to regard it as other than blow to the
recognition of dogmatic theology-that is,
of precision and de6niteness of religious
thought in the University education Of the
mass Of the Church of England students.
Possibly there might be q better textbook
than the Articles. But it is our authorized
and only one.

drawn down upon him a severe castigation
from the Bishop of Orleans. Mgr. Dupan-

me on my guard against the candidate who

The Chinese En,bassy.-The Chinese EN-
bassy, sent eighteen months ago to the
Emperor, has been received in State by the
President Of the Republic. The object of
the mission was to express regret for the
massacre of Tien-Tsin, and to assure the
French that twenty-ope persons had been
and twenty five banished on ac-
count of it; that the chief and second
magistrate of the town had been degraded
and exiled that indemnities amounting to
8, 450, GOO francs had been paid to the fami-
lies of the victims and for the reconstruc-
tion of buildings; that memorial stones
were being placed on the graves of the
persons at the cost of the city,
and that a memorial gate was to be erected
at the gate of the cemetery, on which was
to be inscribed a proclamation recording
