it will bo remembered that Dr.
Johnson's mother took him to London
-when a boy to bo "touohed" by thb
King for tho scrofula which alllielofl

that

ThU reminds one of tho ftorv that
Sir Walter Scott's piper, John lkucej
spent a whpld Sunday selecting twelve
stones from twelve South-running
streams, with tho purposo that his,
lamo master might sleep upon tlleiii
and become wholo. Scott was not thi
man to hurt tl 0 honest fellow's feel
ing by ridiculing tho notion of such a
lcmedy proving of avail ; so ho caused
Bruco to be told that tho rccipo wai
infallible, but that it was absolutely
necessary to success that tho stones brj
wrapped up in tho petticoat of a will
ow who had never wished to marry
again ; upon learning which tho Ilighr
lander renounced all hope ot complet
ing tho charm.
But tho superstitions of which thesd
two facts wero born were 1,1 their de
cline at the time. Up to tho end of
.tho last century they wero prevalent
enough. In England, in tho good eld
times, sovereigns fostered tho belief,
and tho learned generally as well ; tho
ignorant accepted it without investiga.
lion.-.' It. viii niacticcd by nearly all
tho English kings up to tho timo of
George I, who wisely discountenaccd
it, and finally abolished it in 17144
Tho superstition vouched its culmina
tion in tho reign of Charles II, when,
in tho spaco of fourteen years, mora
than 92,000 persona sought relief from
tho toucli of tho royal "hand, and, if
wo may believe Dr. Wiseman, tho
king'fyphysician, the)' wero nearly all
cured.
In 1G8G James II advertised in tho
Lqndon'Gazetto his intention Jof touch
ing t;tlie aflllcted as follows: "His
Majesty is graciously pleased to np-'
'point" tf heal, weekly, for tho evil,
upon Friday, and hath commanded his
physicians and chirurgeons to attend
at tho office appointed for that- pur
poso in tho Metise, upon Thursdays, in
the afternoon, to give out tickets.'
liiiecno Anno announced nor gra-i
cious pleasure to penorm tho miracle,
through the same channel, March 12,
1712, and. 011 tho 30th of tho saino
month" -publicly touched 200 persons.
Another Queen, Elizabeth, during
her progresses in Gloucestershire, be
came so tired touching those who do
sired to be cured that she bluntly told
tbe-afllicted who wero pressing "on her
that uod only could relieve them irom
tlioir complaints.
James I announced, by proclama
tion, that patients would not bo per
mitted tp approach tho royal presenco
during the summer ; nun (Juarlcs 1
ordered that no 0110 should apply to
bo healed who did not bring a proper
certiticate that ho or sue had never
been touched before. This certificate
was obtained from medical officers
sepcially appointed for this purpose,
whoso duty it was to mako personal
examination ot all presenting them
selves for relief, and to keep a record
of cases submitted to tho royal touch.
1 111s was re idered necessary as a
measure ofpro.eciion for tho sover
cign, so great wero tho throngs that
besieged the royal presence on these
occasions.
luighsh historians generally assert
that . Edward, tho last of tho Saxon
lino of lkings, was thoifirst to practico
tho gift in England. Tho practice
seems to havo originated in r ranee,
however, or at least was known there,
away back in tho timo of Clovis'I,
whoso reign began A. D. 481. A man
uscript in tho Sloano Collection in tho
British Museum affirms that "God
gavo Clovia (A. D. 19G) the gift of
curing tho King's evil, and ho proved
it on fancier, or Lanctct, his favor
ite."
, Other records assert that Louis I
i(8U-810) originally received tliepow-i
from divino sources. Tho .truo in
wardness of tho touohing business
seems, tp bo limited by tho faat that
each person touched used, also, to re
ceivo a present of money. In Entf
laud the gold angel, worth in Eliza
beth's time ten shillings, and now a
couple of pounds, was tho regulation
present, and sometimes smaller "heal
ing pieces," as thoy wero called, wero
given, bilver was also, though mitre,
fluently, used.
Gcmolli, tho Italian traveler, was in
Paris, 011 Easter Sunday, when 1(100
persons wero touched by Louis XIV.
IIo says.- tho words used were, Le roy
to touclie, "Dieu to guerisse. Each
Fronohman was given fifteen sous
aflur-belng touched, but each foreigner
received. thirty bqiis. Even this small
sum attracted impostord, for the King
said to some : "Aro yon sick, too !"
implying that ho doubted them. Hut-
ler affirms that tho French kings per.
formed tho euro only on days when
thoy had receivod tho holy communion;
and Philip do Comines says thoy nl
ways confessed 'buforuhitnd. Mczeray
recordl .that St. Louis added to tho
ceremonial tho sign of the cross, hut
other authorites nsoiibp it to Louis
I.
The'UcPln, which was attached to
string or rjbbon, and hung about tho
patient's neck, seoms to hnvo contrib
uted much to tho permanent efficacy of
tho touch, for it was necessary to wear
it during life. iMonoony, tho I'rench
traveler, relates that, whon ho was in
England, Sir Kenelm Dishy told him
that if the person cured lost the piece
of gold, t tho complaint returned at
onco.
Fabian Philips says that tho gold
angels issued on theso occasions by
the kings of England amounted to an
nnuuiu charge 01 auuuu.
It ill 11 v bo remembered that Shakes
pearo alludes to tho custom in tho
third icene of tho fourth act of "Mao-
ixjtli," in theso picturrsquo terms :

Cardinal Manning,
Tho frontispiece of tho May Century
is an effectivo portrait of Cardinal
Manning, which illustrates a sketch ot
his life nnd character, by O. Kecgan
Paul, tho author of tho recent Century
article on Cardinal Newman. Of Car
dinal Manning he says In part :
Cardinal Mnmiimr is in his soventy-
fourth year. IIo is the son of the lato
William Manning, M. P. and Govern
or of tho Bank of England, and wnB
educated at Harrow nnd Baliol, migra
ting thence, after taking tho highest
honors, to become n Fellow of Morton.
Ho is .1 typical public school man, nnd
could scarcely havo been at any but n
fashionable public school. Moil
who havo not had such training may
havo courtly manners, may bo thorough
men of tho world j those educated at
homo may havo equal, sometimes more,
erudition , but tho combination of
learning worn lightly liko n llower,
great frankness of manner with power
of reticence when needed, aptness for
being at homo in any 80ciety, from the
rough to tho courtier, and simply un
conscious ease, aro generally to do
found among Englishmen onlyjn thoso
educated at ourilrst-class publidschools
Theso wero tho qualities which, joined
with his birth and his father's position,
gavo him, even ns a very young man, n
commanding intluenco in Oxiord soci
ety, which raised him to Archdeacon
of Chichester at tho early ago of thir
ty-two. nnd which have made him so
great a power in his own communion
since ho joined it. They havo also
given him intluenco among various
classes of society especially among tho
great, so that his brother-in-law, tho
Cite Biihop of Winchester, smarting
under tho desertion ot his Iriend nnd
unable to deny himself tho use of epi
gram, called him the "apostlo of tho
tools." IIo becamo Hector of Laving
ton and Graffham in Sussex in 1831,
and married the youngest Miss Ser
jeant, 0110 of tho co-heiresses of tho
Lavington property, two other sisters
t 0 , CI , 11TM, e
having married oarauei v nurriorce,
afterward Bishop and Henry Wilbor
force, his brother. Mrs. Manning sur
vived her marriago but a few months.
When tho spiritual grace of baptism
was denied by Mr. Gorham, and his
view pronounced to be tenable with
the Church of England. Archdeacon
.Manning, with many others, telt the
very ground on which they stood cut
from under them. If the Church of
England denied sacramental grace,
which to them involved tho very es
sence of religion, there was indeed no
where to turn but to the (Jhurcii or
Rome: however impossible it had once
seemed that thoy should do so. Imtue
diately after tho Gorham judgment was
pronunced. Archdeacon Manning
shook from his feet the dust of an her
etical Church, to join that toward
which his steps had so long unconscious
ly been advancing ; when 110 doubt ho
found that tho boundaries wero by no
means so dilhcull to overstep as they
had seemed to him 011 that November
lay. After tho short retirement, inev
itable on his change, preparatory to
taking orders in tho church of his
adoption, his rise was rapid and signal.
He, too, liko his brother cardinal, found
ed a congregation, that of tho Oblatcs
of St. Charles Uoi romeo, filing in tho
interim tho dignified office of Provost
of Westminster. In 1805, Monsignor
Manning was consecrated Archbishop
of Westminster. In 1875, he was cre
ated a cardinal with tho title of Saints
Andrew and Gregory. Sinca his ap-
pointmeut as archbishop low men havo
over been moro beforo tho world. Not
only is ho a constant-preacher in and a
frequent preacher out of his dioceso ;
not only' has ho been a combatant in
intellecual contests, especially in the
Metaphysical Society, a club which
met monthly, where ho held his own
with such disputants as Dr. Martineau,
Mr. Fredeiick'Harrison, and Professor
Huxley, he has also taken part in tho
social lifo of London to such an extent
that thrro is hardly philanthropic work
in which ho could consistently cooper
ate wherein ho has not been a sharer.
Conspicuous abovo all has been tho aid
that ho has given to total abstinence
societies both in and out of his church;
In politics ho is understood to tako a
strongly democratic view and has been
heard to say that, wero ho not what ho
is, his ohoico would bo to bo a dema
gogue. On the Irish question, and to
some extent on tho Irish side, ho is very
outspoken ; and should it hereafter
provo to be possible that tho Catholic
Church, at least in tho West, should
ally herself with tho cause of tho peo
ple, of distinguished from tho cause of
tho oligarchs, Cardinal Manning's name
will bo found on tho roll of thoso who
havo helped" the fusion.
A Ohurohly Innovation.

Baltimore, Md., April 29. There is
considerable talk in Methodist church
circles of this city over a new depart
ure made by Jit. Vernon Church, tho
most iashionablo and wealthiest sloth
odist congregation of Baltimore. This
is tho church of which Hev. Thomas
Guard was pastor at tho timo of his
death, llov. Dr. Felton, formerly of
ot. Lou is is his successor, and ho has
led the now movement, whioh ha ro-
suited in the introduction of a ritual
somewhat on tho Episcopalian order.
Tho ritual was used for tho first tinio
nt tho servico to-dav, nnd little clso
was talked about by tho congregation.
It includes thu chant of tho Gloria Pa-
tria Psalter and tho recital by tho con
creation of tho Apostlo's Creed.
Although printed cards wero placed
in tho pews giving tho order of service,
yet thero wero somo slight hitches, and
at one point the pastor was obliged to
ask the congregation to riso to contiu
uo tho service. Dr. Eelton spoko pf
tho objection to tho ritual which had
been made by some, mid snid that if,
after n fair trial, it did not provo satis
factory, it would be discarded. It has
been unanimously adopted by tho board
ol trustees of tho chinch, but somo of
tliH members object to it, while many
of the old-timu Methodists of other
churches havo protested against ns it a
step toward EpiFcopnlinnisui. Ono of
tho Methodist Church papers hero have
condemned it in plain terms. Tho rit
ual, however, is authorized by tho
book of discipline, and it is used by
soveral Methodists churches lu other
largo cities.

THE COLUMBIAN AND
A Dootor of Divinity's Hen Hunt.
Ono of tho loading professors in Ox
ford hates to havo tho subjeot of

pecially black hens t nnd tlio reason of
It Is this i It wns on n flno Sunday
afternoon in summer, n good many
yenrs ngo, that tho. professor in ques
tion who is tho doctor of divinity,
nnd who even then wns ono of tho
best known figures in tho university,
enjoying n reputation for prodigious
erudition was sunning himself in the
High street. Now High street in Ox
ford on n fino Sunday afternoon to
ward thu end of the summer tcrul,
when. tho town is filled with visitoife
wh'6 lmvt) cotno up to see Commemora
tion, is ono of tho most crowded nnd
fashionable thoroughfares to bo found
in all England ; nnd ns tho doctor
threaded his way through the well
dressed throng his dignified air bespoko
a consciousnes of uncommon merit, nnds
merit not unrecognized by tho world,
whllo his fnco shone with a mlxturo of
prido nnd bcncvolcnco such ns become
so great a man in so goodly a company.
It bo chanced, however, that n rampant
gust of wind which Eolus ought nev
er to havo allowed to roam about on
such a sunny day cnnio romping up
tho street, stirring up swirls of dust
nnd fluttering the Indies' ribbons ns it
camo j and, whether it was the con
spicuous gloss npon the professor's hat
that caught tho wind's oyo (for tho
wind has nn oyo, or how could the
mariners Bail in itt), or, whether it wns
thd baldness of tho professor's head
made his hat slido off moro easily, is
uncertain, but certain it is that his was
the only hat that blow off in all tho
crowd.
Naturally tho professor went off af
ter his hat j but every 0110 knows what
n lot of tronblo Mr. Pickwick had to
catch his hat when it blew off,and with
all his erudition, tho professor was not
unlike Mr. Pickwick 111 figuro ; so, in
stead of his having caught his hat, tho
latter obtained a commanding lead be
foro it blovV bump against tho gato post
of a stahlo yard. Now was the pro
fessor's opportunity, for tho hat was ly
ing dead beat up against tho gate.
But it also chanced that n solitary
hen a black ono was taking an af
ternoon stroll just inside the yard, and,
with that perversity which has caused
black hens to bo regarded by tho super
slitious of nil ages as birds of evil
omen, was so frightened by tho noise
tho lint made knocking against the
wooden gate that she scuttled out into
tho street. As soon as she got in the
street, tho confusion at finding herself
among so many people sent her in n
flurry of dust and feathers for hens
always run the wrong way out into
the road, Once in tho road, sho met
the professor, and immediately conclu
ding (in spito of his clerical attire)
that ho was there to hunt her, away sho
wont down tho road in front of him.
Nor was her stiriniso as to his inten
tions so ill-founded as is common with
tho panics of hen", for tho Professor is
terribly short-sighted, and what with
the dust and the heat and the excite
ment of tho chase ho never detected
tho fraud that was being palmed off
upon him, but started off after tho hen
as blithely as he had heretofore hunted
his hat ; though a hat is hard to catch
hen is worso : and any healthy fowl
nomino digna can easily outrun a Doc
tor 01 Uivinity bo down the High
street, with tho stately throng of fash
ionable folks all agape 011 either hand,
went this worso than Gilpin race ; and
while the hen kicked up tho dust nnd
tho professor's bald head went flashing
in the sun, and tho under graduates
bent out of their windows on each sido
of tho road and cheered pursuer and
pursued, and laid long odds upon tho
hen. And in all probability tho pro
fessor would have hunted that hen till
sundown had not a carriage come up
the road to meet them, when to his hor
ror he saw his hat his well-behaved
clerical hat, that had sat quietly on his
head every Sunday for tho last two
mouths tako wings and fly clucking
over the crowded sidewalk to settle on
a wall. And to this day the professor
hates tho man who talks to him of
hens.

"tJlara, dearest, began Mark Frank-
ton, "often has the question which I nm
about to ask you, tremblod upon my
lips." .
"What is it, Mark?' exclaimed
Clara, a feeling of undefined terror tak
ing possession of her as sho gazed
into ins 1111 blanched tace.
"Clara," continued Mark, taking her
hand in his, and fondling it in a reas
suring manner; "Clara, I lovo you
pray, don t be alarmed I would havo
you with mo always; that is to say, will
you bo mine 1"
"And do you lovo mo truly and
disinterestedly, Mark'!''
"Yes, Clara, as the world goes. I
wonld bo happy, and I believe you are
tho woman who will mako mo happy.
"But this is so sudden. Mark," mur
mured Clara, bending her head to hide
her blushes.
"I know it is suddon. I didn't think
of it myself till a day or two ago. But
tho fact is, I havo corao to tho conclu
sion that ,1 might as well get married.
I want somebody to keep house lor me,
and do my washing, ironing and mend
ing. I won't say that you aro tho only
girl I ever loved, but ns you appear to
think n good deal of mo, it is natural
that I should think n good deal of
you."
"Yes, Mark."
And I don't suppose it will cost
much more, if it docs, you know, vou
will bo so glad to tako in washing or
something of that sort, to eke out our
income. '
"0, Mark! you know I lovo you, nnd
I ennnot resist your eloquent nppcnl.
Yes, I will bo yours forever."
"Very kind of you, Clara; really I am
obliged to you. You have saved 1110 a
great deal of trouble. If you had ro
fused me, I should havo been obliged
to ask somo other girl. I had half a
dozon in mind, but now that it Is set
tled, I shan t bother to call on any of
them."
"You don't know how happy I am
to hear you speak thus, dear Mark. It
shall bo my aim to watch over your
napppiness day and night. Hence
forth I livo only for you."
"Yes, Clara, that's what I want.
Now that we havo settled tho question,
i ll be going, as 1 promised Tom J5ad
ger I'd couio over and play a game of
pool with him this eovening. Good
night."
