A bishop marked the names of those
whom he deemed worthy Of remem-
brance for some service performed In
religion or politics or literature or sci
ence or art or commerce or philan-
thropy or warefare, or,ssome other as
poets Of the various life of the nation.
: OF such names he found 1,270 who
were the children Of clergymen or min
listers, taking no account Of those who
were grandchildren Of clergymen or
more remote descendants. OF the chill
dren of lawyers, there were $40, and
of doctors $50. The sons Of clergymen
who became themselves clergymen
were $50. HE further asserts that the
superiority which the clergy enjoy In
respect to their children to the other
Professions lies beyond dispute. The

only, but Of degree. From clerical

The cast plate glass Of which mirrors,

is regulated by strip of from placed
down each Of the four sides Of the

WATER AND EARTH ROADS.

Of these repairs viii have to be very
