Acquiring a Renutatfon.

Archbishop Howley, who lived in the
eighteenth century. most unjustly got
the reputation of swearing like Il troop
er. The explanation is that the Duke
of Cumberland. who fought the battle
of Culloden and who was unspeakably

primate to get his assistance abou a

archbishop, and he says he'll see the
promoters to - before he'll vote for
the - BILL Al a matter of fact. all
the profanity had been supplied quite
in the ordinary run of conversation by
the luke.
