NEW JERSEY EPISCOPAL MATTERS.

Return OF Bishop Odenheimer from sc.
Catharines-The Division Of the Do
cese.
Some time ago very serious accident befell tho
Right Rev. w. h. Odenheimer Bishop OF the Epis.
copsl diocese OF New Jersey, whereby he has be-
come partially disabled for lie. He sustained Q
bad fracture OF the right kneepan. Added to this
there crowded on him domestic afnictions and
the increasing labOrs OF his growing did,
cese, tine result of all being that when
the last Diocesan Convention was held in Newark
the right reverend gentleman was 80 visibly
weakened and debilitated that the Convention
TOOK advantange Of his temporary absence from
the chair, voted him handsome series OF resolu-
tions. six months vacation and $1,000 to pay mis-
expenses. The Bishop was overwhelmed, but fels
that ne could not run on at moments notice. About
q month ago he made start, however, ana pro-
ceeded to st. Cathar1nes N. B. There he stayed
three weeks and has again returned to
New Jersey. On Saturday he proceeded
to Schooley's Mountain, and will remain there for
q brief season. The baths at st. Catharines bene-
nted him greatly, but he is far nom being well

Pottery and Porcelain.

making it WAS first discovered in Eu-

Pottery, unglazcd and undccoratrd.
depends for lis color on the character of
the clay. and for its form on the skill
and state of the potter. Pottery when

is SYNONYMOUS with maiolica. Some
writer's have used the word taience as
including certain STYLES of decorated
porcelain. but this is not generally aC-
cepted as correct. The word maioiica
is by some supposed TO be derived from
the island of Majorca, where decorated
pottery was manufactured at an early
date. The word faieuce is derived
from the city of Faenza, where SINH

the word porcelain is uncertain, and
none of the theories on the subject are
satisfactory. Enough that we know
what it means.
Porcelain is divided into two general
classes, known as soft paste and hard
paste. No description can explain the
difference. which must be learned by
experience from the sight and the touch.
