Some Of the effects Of the judgment
of the Privy Council in the Bennett case
already begin to appear. As the judy
ment was to the effect that while it was
not true that the consecrated bread and
wine contained the body and blood of
Christ, it was lawful to teach that they
do contain that body and bloo6, the eff
fects of the decision are various. One
low church clergyman, who has been in
what he calls "schisms'' for five years,
now writes to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, saying that he now embraces the
Catholic Doctrines" and begs "your
Grace's dissolution for my SINS" An
other low-church Clergy man takes just
the opposite course, and writes to say
that he gives up his living and re-
nounces his holy orders, because he cam
not remain in church which allows
"idolatry" to be taught. And high
churchman, instead Of being contented
with the decisions, announces tn since
it is lawful to teach the Roman doctrine
he may as well 60 the whole, and that
he will accordingly 60 over to Rome,
and hopes to take all his congregation
with him.

MISUNDERSTANDING StOries-Talk In
the London Clubs.

London Letter to the New York World.
There is some curious club talk in re-
gard to the great explorer whom Stan.
ley found, but could not bring away no
more than he could pluck up drowned
honor by the roots. 1t is conjectured
that Stanley did not tell all he knows.
or else that Livingstone did not permit
him TO discover all there was to be found
out. A story is revived that was cur.
rent some years since, but which, when
it came to light in Cleveland paper on
your side of the Atlantic, was so vigor-
ously poob-poohed that men fancied
there was no foundation for it. This
story was to the effect that the reason
why Livingstone did not come home
was that he was happily married in Cen
trail Africa, and could neither bring his
dear princess with him nor tear himself
away from her fascinating embraces.
This story, it will be remembered. was
said to have been brought down to Zanzi-
bar by Arabs trading with Uzizi. twill be
remembered, m ,reover, that long before
Kirk or any one claimed to have tidings
Of Livingstone, either direct or indirect.
the late Sir Roderick Murchison was in
the habit Of expressing himself as being
assured of the travellers visibility, and
hooting at the notion that there was
any truth in the report Of his having
been murdered.
Gossip points to the we'll impa-
tience OF civilization manifested by
Livingstone on his former visit-his
horror Of lionizing, his disgust with
book.craft-and quotes his declaration
that it was easier to explore Africa than
to tell about it. There is talk of his
naturally uomadic disposition, and the
well-ascertained fact that habits Of life
such as he has followed for so many
years, joined to rowing spirit. become
inveterate and uncomfortable. The
quid nuncs shake their heads and tell OF
Rajah Brooke, Hester Stanhope, Lady
Ellenborough, and many other English
women and men who, crazed with
"form-sickness," have broken bounds
and fled to savagery for life. Living

spirit is quite worn out of him, but ne
has no definite intentions to return at
any particular time, and his fixing two
years as the period Of time necessary to
complete his discoveries by the explora'
ton of $50 miles of river Was q mere
subterfuge to get rid of Stanley. 1t Is
further insinuated that this expatriatlon

Psychologists tell us that the brain
consumes a great deal of phosphorus,
and the doctors say that brown bread is
healthier than that made from bolte d
-four, because Of the phosphorus that
the bran contains, which in fine -four is
in great part absent. Baking powders
were accordingly invented, the principal
purpose Of which was to supply bread
with the needful amount Of the phos-
phoric quality. A candy has now been
invented and patented. which is no
other than doses of phosphorus in dis
guise. The love of candy has thus been
