Bishop O'Gorman's Retort.

Bishop O'Gorman of Sioux Falls, S. d.. is a
Joyial preae whose clever repartee has become pro-
verbal. During his stay in Rome, says the New
York Times, he much sought after and at
tended most of the big social functions. At recep-
ton given by the Spanish ambassador, he was en-
tertaining few of his friends with anecdotes when
an aged member of the Roman aristocracy, re-
nowned for his wit, approached the group with
the set purpose of rendering the American bishop
ridiculous.
Il have just heard a riddle" he announced "and
[ could not find better audience. Can your lord
ship tell me the difference between a bishop and
Donkey"
The bystanders were indignant at the insult but
not so the prelate, who thought for a moment and
then confessed that the riddle was beyond him.
very simple, though" remarked the nobleman,
pointing to the cross that the monsignor wear
ing "a bishop carries his cross on his chest, while
the donkey carries it on his back"
Bishop O'Gorman was the only one to laugh, but
he did it heartily,
''Excellentv' he cried. "And now can you tell,
me, duke the difference between duke and
Donkey"
The nobleman wrinkled his brow, and looked
nonpussed.
Il really don't see it, he finally admitted.
"No," promptly retorted the American bishop;
"nor does any one else"
Then they all laughed.

Advertising For Used Sermons.

The following advertisement, which appeared in
q recent issue of the Protestant daily, the Irish
Times, seems to show that there is demand among
the Irish Protestant clergy, Notwithstanding the
good education they are supposed to have received
in Trinity university. for the of other par
sons to be delivered from the pulpit products of
their own highly-stored minds: WANTED Fifty
old written sermons wanted; Evangelical; please
state lowest price. S 1892, this office" The manu-
facture of sermons for the Anglican church in Eng
land is a fourishing trade. A witness in a recent
action brought in the city of London for the recov
cry of $12 for twenty sermons sold and delivered
gave amusing evidence. Sermons, he said, fetched
all prices: some as high as $25. bishops 'charge'
or an archdeacons address" would fetch the latter
price He could produce man who had written
bishops charges. A sermon to be preached before
the lord mayor would cost from SIS to $25.-Ad-
