thirteenth day before the kalendsof July,
being the feast of st. Gervasius and Pro-
thasius. Divers relic-stealingsamong the
English are also recorded by Mr.. Cor

coveted the body of st. Wittburga,
sister of st. Ethelreda, patroness
of the Isle of Ely Brithnoth and
Ethelwold We're at the bottom of this

The Dereham men pursued, but having
no boats, they could do nothing but
threaten. The story is given at length
by Thomas of Ely in the Bodleian Manu-
script life of St. Nebt. Again, Althcric,
Bishop of Dorchester, got leave from
Canute to remove the bones of st. Felix,
Bishop of Fast Angles, from Soham to

cult to believe that such could be the
truth in the great majority of cases, but
it is very possible that in some it may
have been as he has represented. But none
the less--perhaps even all the more-was
the system demoralizing and degrading
one; none of the less were the women
prevented from discharging the duties OF
wives or mothers; none the less were the
men taught and led to spend their days
in round of frivolity, fribblcdom, and
idleness, utterly emasculating in its re-
results upon the character, utterly de-
structive of all civic worth and OF eveV
sentiment of moral dignity; none the
less was all domestic happiness, in the
best and only true sense Of the term,
rendered impossible.

Girls were brought out Of the cloister
in which they had been educated on y to
be married to men whom they had never
before seen, and who were almost always
very much their seniors. Quite mat
ter of course was it, also, and quite inev-
table, that relief from the misery of such
marriages should have been sought in the
universal prevalence of the institution
known as "cicisbeism." Every lady had
her ''cicisbeo." 1t would have been both
ridiculous and disgraceful to be without
one. The name of the person agreed
upon by the husband previously to his
marriage, as one whom he should not OBJ
ject to see in this relationship to his fu-
ture wife, was frequently mentioned in
the marriage settlement. 1t was disgrace
full in q lady not to be faithful in her at
fections to her "cicisbeo." But the service
expected from the person thus bonored
was not little rigorous. He was always to
attend the lady's levee. He was to bring
her the news of the city for the day. He
was to attend her every morning to mass
to lift the heavy curtain that hangs in
side the doors of the churches for her to
pass; to dip his fingers in the holy water,
and present the sanctifying drop to her
on the tips Of them; to place chair fol
her on the marble pavement; to hand
her her prayer-book; to wait, holding hel
fan, her essence bottle, or what not, till
she had finished her devotions, then tC
receive her prayer-book; holy water and
curtain as before; and then to give hel
his arm to her palace. He must never
fail to accompany her to whatever place
of amusement or party she might attent
in the evening. The position of 'cieis
beo" to dev0ut and fashionable lady
and all the ladies were devout and al
most all of them fashionable-was, it vii
be observed, by no means sinecurc
The laws of Mllanese society, however
absolutely required that every gentleman
who had any pretension of belonging tt
it should be the faithful and deyotet
servant of some lady--any lady save hi
own wife. And it would have beel
equally ridiculous in u man to be withou
any such mistress as for woman to b
unfurnisled with "ccisbeo," Much ha
been said about the degrees of innocenc
which are compatible with the existapc
Of these ties and the degrees Of guiltines
which they must be held to have ii

A miner on Six-Mile Canyon has two
large spot ed lizards as pets. He keeps
them in cage, to which is attached a

vorce Court. If you resist, your aunt's
money will be used to fight you, and you
are sure to be worsted. If you will let
things slide your yinculi matrimonii will
be struck of, and you'll be free man."
Jack, who liked Helen, did not much
relish this advice, and returned home
ward as soon as he could. But he was
delayed by sickness ON the road, and
reached England about six months after
leaving it. He arrived just in time to
learn that the suit against him had been
put down on the cause list, and that
Aunt Prue was dead.
Yes, dead; she had died suddenly after
surfeit of tea and mullins, poor lady,
and the most touching fact in connection
with her demise was that she had not left
penny! She had never had a penny to
leave, Her kind imagination had led
her all her life to delude her relatives
with tales of fancy wealth, and to keep
them in good behavior by leaving copies
of sham wills on tables, where they might
be read by curious eyes. Dear, fanciful
old thing. let us hope her imaginative
providences were good humoredly ex'
cused in another world.
Meanwhile poor Helen had to come tc
her husbands hotel in London, with the
sorrowful story of her disappointments
"And oh, Jack" sobbed she, when {
reconciliation had been effected, 81 an
afraid you will have to pay the costs oI
that suit which instituted at thai
wicked old woman's instigation."
81 suppose So" answered Jack, drily
"We are neither of rs rich enough nov
to afford a divorce. And I take it fo
granted we must give Auntie IL splendi,
funeral"
wsuppose So" sighed Helen; "else thu
world would say that we did not love th'
old cat, People are 50 wicked and un
truthful"
So Aunt Prue was buried with grea
pomp as last tribute to her many kind
nesses.-- Truth.

Relic Stealing.
TBlackwood's MagaZine,1

Relic stealing seems to have been a sin
to which Cornish custodes were prone.
In 1777, statim post Epiphanium Dni,
one of the Canons Of Bodmin, secretly
took away the body of st. Pctroc, fleeing
with it beyond the sea to the Abbey Of
st. Mcycnnus, in partibus MINORS Bri-
tsnna. Happier than the men Of Neot-
stoke, the Prior and Canons Of Bodmin
got Henry Fitzempress to command Ro-
land De Dinapt, Justiciary of Brittany,
to cause the body to be restored.
st. Mevennus is the Cornish St.
Mcwan, who gives his name to the
parish containing that greatest Of all
mines, Great Polgooth. Indeed, the tive
Dritains have many saints in common

Poor Jack. He had not calculated
the effect OF this blameworthy proceed
ing, for blameworthy it was. Trials
which can be borne by two are often too
much for one, and Helen, deserted by her
husband naturally fell completely under
Aunt Prue's thraldom. She was, more
over, wounded to the quick by what
she considered a loveless, unmanly act,
insomuch that her aunt had no difficulty
in persuading her that man who leaves
his wife to 90 gadding must have some
other kettle in view. 'This,' said Aunt
Prue, emphatieally, SIS my experience ol
men," So on arriving at Alexandria
after lazy three-months' cruise, Jack
found letter which had been sent hin
by lawyer, and which ran TO this effect

'ohn Bright and Thomas Bayley Potter were
present. resolution was passed thanking Mr..
fotter for his efforts, and those of the free
traders in the United States, to promote free
trade with America.
Mr. Potter made speech, in which
ne said that he reciprocated the kindly senti-
ments expressed by Americans toward English
men at many gatherings which he attended in
America. He paid high compliment to the
sobriety and fraternal behaWor of Ameri-
cans and concluded by presenting to Mr..
Bright number of congratulatory let
tiers from the chief American cities, in
winch the hope was expressed that Mr.. Bright
would see America before he died. Mr. Bright
Ill reply said he could not adequately
express his thanks for these letters. He
had received hundreds of invitations to
visit the United States, including one
from President Hayes to stay at the
White House as long as he liked; but he was
obliged to decline all of them. He hoped that
his friends in the United States would
believe that he fully appreciates their
kindness; but he feared that there was
little chance of his accepting their generous in
vitations. Mr.. Bright then proceeded to descant
on the vastness of the United States as CON-
pared with European countries, and concluded
by saying that he believed there was no country
with whom all other countries were more
friendly than with the United States.

THE NICARAGUAN ROUTE.
CAPTAIN BEDFORD PIN ADVOCATES BEFORE THE
LONDON SOCIETY OF ARTS THE ADOPTION OF
THE AMERICAN CANAL ROUTE ACROSS THE
IsTHMUs.


(BY CABLE TO THE HERALD
LONDON, Dec. 10, 1870.
The well known Captain Bedford PIN, late
of the Royal Navy, now member OF
Parliament, who has been engaged in
opening, by his own private efforts, rail-
way transit from the Atlantic to the
Pacific across Nicaragua, last night read a
paper before the Society Of Arts on ''Inter-
oceanic Canal Routes" He said the Panama
route was inadmssible in consequence of the
vexatious and enduring Gains prevailing on the
was unfit because there is no safe harbor on the
Pacific side and that he believed the Nicaragua
route would be ultimately selected, but he con-
demncd Greytown as starting point He said
he thought the route from Pins Bay to Realejo
the most desirable one. [Captain Bedford Clap

modern times, and has been devoted to canal
projects for many years. He made voyage
around the world in the Herald from 1915 to
1851, was engaged in two Arctic expe-
ditions in search of Sir John Franklin,

person the Northwest passage from Behring
Strait to Baffin's Bay. He took part in the
naval operations of the Crimcan war and in that
of China, visited the Isthmus of Suez in 1858,
and read to the Royal Geographical Society

this time he went to Central America,
