A Shilling "a Dozen.

Jowett's brevity of speech and dis
patch of business, never shone more than
on the occasion of his dealing with the
refractory washerwomen OF Balliol.
These worthy DANES struck for higher
wages in one department. Twelve col
lars for shilling was. believe, the
statutory price. They came to inter.
view the master.
The washerwomen have come to
see YOU" said the butler.
SHOW the ladies up" said the mas
ter They dumped into the room, to
find him iiddling with the poker at the
ashes in the CRATE. He turned round.
"Will YOU wash twelve collars for a
shilling" They began to eXpostulate.
He touched the bell: in came the but
Ter. SHOW Che ladies down
Presently the butler appeared again.
They seem very sorry, sir-would
like To see You again"
SHOW them up. The washerwomen
found the master intent. as before on

collars for shilling?' piped his CHEEKY
little voice. \ stalwart speaker began
to make explanations. He touched the
bell. SHOW these ladies down, said
he, and down they went. Again the
butler expressed hope that he would
see them. Certainly show them up.
They entered the room. "Will YOU wash
twelve collars for a shllngP" I'VE

IL Is said that Tompkins, the celebrated
writing master Of st. Paul's school In
London, was tho vaincst OF all pcnmen.
Through ilfo he dreamed that penmanslip
was ono Of the fine arts, and that q writ
Ing master should be seated with his peers
in tho academy. Ho bequcathcd to tho
British museum his opus magnum, copy
OF Macklln's Bible, profusely embellished
with the most beautiful and varied work
of his pen, md ma he conceived that both
tho workman and the work would DO
darling objects with postsrity he left
something immortal with to legacy-his
Enc bust by Chantrey, unaccoinpanied by
which tho museum was not to receive the
unparalleled gift.
When Tompkins applied to have his
bust made, the great sculptor generously
abatcd something from his usual price,
and consldoratc OF tho feelings Of the writ
ing master treated him as brother artist.
This was undoubtedly the proudest day in
Tompkins' life.
An eminent artist and wit, looking at
this Ono bust Of Tompkins, onco exclAlm-
ed, And this man died for want OF din
nerln Which remark was in measure
true.
The penman had long felt that he stood
degraded in the scale OF genius by not be-
ing received at the academy, at least in
the class OF engravers. The next approach
TO academic honors he conceived would be
that Of appearing as guest at the annual
dinner. But unfortunately the academy.
persisted In considering Tompkins as n
writing master, and in spite Of so many
stratagoms and circumstances no never
received one of tho coveted invitations.
The vain man mover ceased to deploro
tho failure of his hopes and allowed the
disappointment to prey upon his spirits
until it affected his health. In spite OF
everything, tho luckless calligraphcr died
without having dlned at tho academy

Tho Congregationalist says: "Eight
women in all, up to this cate, have been
ordained to tho ministry In the Baptist
denomination. But Tho Examiner (Bap
tist) refuses to recognize them as minis
tors, believing that there can be no proper
ordination without duly qualified candi-
date, and that tho teachings Of the New
Testament excluded women from the min
istry. The Cumberland Presbyterian gem
eral assembly, at It's recent meeting, de-
cided that a woman who had been ordain.
ed by preshytcry was not minister and
that her dination was null and void. But
the assembly indorscd her as lay evan.
gellst and commended her us a consecrated
and efficient laborcr. When woman do.
ing regularly the work Of tho ministry is
commended for 1t, while the title il with.
held from her, she need not be disturbed.
The place she is filling will como in time
TO DO generally recognized by Its proper
name. Tho Congrcgationalist has not nd.
vocated the ordination OF women to the
ministry. a few women have been or.
dhincd as Congregational ministers, but
we think the instances will continue to DO
only exceptional. But the teachings of tho
New Testament which might DO cited ~

exclude her also from the Office of Chris
