FROF. FRANCIS w. NEWMAN, brother
to the Cardinal, was recently appointed
Honorary Professor of Worcester College,
Oxford. Some six years ago the Cardinal
was elected an Honorary Professor of
Trinity College of the same university.
While the Cardinal is a devout and con-
sentative Roman Catholic, his brother is
a radical and a freethinker. He was in
tended for the Church of England, but
staggered at the thirty-nine articles. That
both should receive equal hOnOrs from the
principal English university is taken as
an Indication of the liberalizing spirit of

SARTORIs is an athletic and stocky-built
Englishman. He has a great craze for
athletic sports, and will spar any man
whenever an opportunity offers. He is a
good tennis and racquet player, and while
in New York spends all his time roaming
about town with his friends. 1t is said
that he is not at all popular with his
wife's family, which is unfortunate, if
true. Sartoris had a much better bargain
than Nellie Grant. He gained everything
by his marriage to a lovely girl belonging
to famous family. She gained nothing
but a thick-headed though good-natured
Englishman, of no particular account in
his own country, and small ability of his
own right. Brooklyn Eagle.
