In the Rev. WILLIAM T. SABINE's Re-

there occurred. yesterday. an incident which
may prove intcrestngto Episcopalians in Great
Britain The Rev. THOMAS II. GRECO. who came
from England for the purpose Of being conse-
Grated Bishop of Great Britain. was invested
with the orders OF his Office. He was elected
Bishop and assigned TO Great Britain by the
General Conference OF the Reformed Episcopal
Church. held recently in Philadelphia. He will
sail for England on Satul lay next. The Rev.
DIR. GREaG IL widely known in England. His
essay on Discstablshment," which was en-
dorscd by JOHN BRIGHT was widely read. The
new Bishop Of Great Britain IL also the author
Of many evangelical and temperance tracts
which have attracted attention. He has been
outspoken against what he deems the defects in
the Church of England. still he declares: Ny
affection for the old Church is undated The
result Of the Rev. DIR. GREoGs work in Great

which have dcadhcoded him. The letter, os

however acts wisely, as we'll rs generously,
in giving the full text of the eplotle 10 the

II Is cmnonuy proper that the public
should recognize the fact, rs GRANT himself
recognizes il, that the English ovation to

aud thoughtful Offices of q. WAsHlNGTON
Guilds, A. NJ, and Is, in fine, tribute by
proxy to the genius of the principal obituary
poet Of the age. II is this consciousness on
Gen. GRANTS part that gives to hi, commu-
nicatIun the tone Of report To superior,
rather than Of II friendly description Of per-
sonal success. GKANr owes CHlLDs, A. NJ,
a great debt of gratitude, and he can best
discharge it by continuing to write him the
ull details Of his triumphant progress

lars Of the entertainments, Ovations, and

Picking Beef,

The Yorkshire (England) hung beef
has long been deservedly famous, and is
thus easily prepared:
Cut into the ribs or a round of beef,
or, even a fine thick flank, about twenty
pounds weight of either, for example
Finely beat in a mortar for this guam
tity half pound of bay salt, a quarter
of pound each of saltpetre and sal pru-
nella, and two hands of juniper berries;
mix them with three pounds of common
salt and one pound of coarse sugar, and
thoroughly rub the beef all over for a
considerable time. Let it lie in a good
sailing pan, and rub it well with the
pickle once a day for at least a fortnight,
carefully turning it every time. Take
it out. and after drying it well with a
coarse cloth hang it up to the ceiling of
a warm kitchen or in chimney corner
where only moderate fire is kept, till it
becomes properly dried. it may be eth
er boiled as wanted, or cut into rashiers
and broiled, but in the latter case it will
always eat much better if previously
dipped into boiling water.

An Incident at an Opera.

A little incident occurred at Baldwin S
Theater that was not down in the bills.
1t seems that the brace of intelligent
supers who personate the devils in the
last act of Don Giovanni" at four bits
a night, had been rehearsed in the scene
by Carl Formes, instead of the tenor who
personated the Don. The former ap-
peared as Leporello, and when the prop
er moment arrived the demons fell upon
him and endeavored to drag him off to
the internal regions with the greatest
vigor. In vain the exasperated basso
struggled and strove to explain that they
had fastened upon the wrong man. The
supes were used to realistic acting, and
fired the enraged artist down into the
bowels of the earth with mastery pre-
cision. While tho disguised Leporello
was kicking his assailant's around
through Hades and swearing like a saw
ings bank, depositor, Giovanni himself
stood thunder-struck and too bewildered
to move. He was finally ANONYMOUSLY
led off by the promptor in his shirt
sleeves, and has since made several at
tempts to commit suicide The demons
are now hiding in the foothills under as
sumed names.-!San Francisco Letter.
