THE bill for the sbolition Of lay patron
age ir the Church Of Scotland las at length
been carried through the BIit.sh parlia
ment. 1t is the FIRST movement toward
the disestablishmeat of the Scottish
Church. 1t dep-ives the nobility and
gentry of much Of their ecclesiastical
power, and gives churca members the right
q electing their ministers. The bill was
strongly supported by the Conservatives,
who seem to have Recognized the injustice
Of the patronage system in Scotland,
while ardently supporting almost as anjus.

bill leaves many questions open for decision

A Magic Fan.

The Nashville Banner says: "A
Rocktown maiden has invented new
method of dismissing tiresome beaux.
When they call in the evening and re-
main until ten o'clock, she rises up
quickly, and walking over to the clock,
which is ticking on the mantle, winds it
up, exclaiming (unconsciously, of
course,) Dear me, how late it is, and
the nights are so shortp If they don't
take this hint she suddenly becomes
very warm, and fans herself violently.
Her fan is a model in every respect. 1t
has the words Young man, does your
mother know you're out?' on one side
in small letters, while the other side is
blank. She adroitly turns the side with
the inscription towards the young man,
who glancing at it, suddenly remembers
that he must be home by haIf-past ten
o'clock certain. She, of course, politely
inquiries why his haste, and he murmur-
ing an excuse, bids her good might, and
flies from her presence forever. Her
real lover is never permitted to see that
side of the fam"

That is a rather remarkable statement
of Assistant Postmaste- Barber, that the
country is defrauded by the means of
washed and reused postage stamps to the
amount of a million of dollars per an
mum. 1t looks like an infnitesimal
meanness for a man to save three cents
by washing the cancelling marks off
postage stamp and using it again, and if
the statement of the Department is any
where near right we must have vast
quantity of mean people among US, or
else the fraud is p1rsued as regular
business. That the cancelling of con-
siderable proportion of the letters pass
ing through the postoffice is very i'm
perfectly done any one receiving large
correspondence must have noticed, and
the wonder is why some better system
has not heretofore been adopted. A
million of dollars year is tidy sum to
lose, especially when, as Mr.. Barber
seems to assert, it might be saved by
proper care and the use of indelible ink.
