port of William Taylor, the Missionary Bishop OF

SIDE OBSERVATIONS THROWN IN.
The Bishops report had been printed, but no
read from tho original manuscript, pausins at times
to throw in side observations and comments
which usually showed moro Of tho characteristics OF
the man than the written report. Hts manner had
nothing OF elegance, but MAIDS up for that In an
abundance of forco and emphasis. The report was
listened to with interest, and frequently inter
rupted with applause An effort was aftcrwsrd made
to have it referred 10 special committon This
failed, and after short debate II vent 10 tho COM
mittce on Missions and Hpiscopaoy The frends OF
Bishop Taylor said ShcrwArd that tho reforcnoc was
more satisfactory to Thorn than 1t would have boon
