THE TITLES OF MAYORS. Proper Fnrm of A(iilrrlii Mnnl elpn.l lleAdn In Lend ! lift K n n; ItNh ( Itilei. s AYhcn, asks the London correspond ent of the Manchester (lunrdinn, is n mayor entitled to the prefix "ripht worshipful? The question is not a purely ucademic one. says the London telegraph, ns 1 have seen the '"ripht worshipful the innyor of St. Tami-as" in print lately. The minors of Lon don boronphs, following tlie example of those in the country, nre generally content to be styled "worshipf ul." The lord mayors who hnve arisen in the last ten years at Manchester, Liverpool. Leeds, liirminpliam, Slieflield and P.ris tol copy the precedents of London nnd ork, nnd are "ripht honorable." Strictly, I believe, the mayors of some ancient cities such as Exeter, Chester nnd Norwich nre by custom styled right worshipful." Hristol wns one of these cilies till the creation of its lord mayoralty three years apo. These fine distinctions recall a story of the rural deans of Oxford diocese in the days of liishop Samuel Wilberforce. These rural deans represented to their diocesan thnt they had a grievance in the fact thnt, whereas nrchbishops were "most reverend," bishops "riplit reverend" nnd deans "very reverend." they had no title to distinguish them from their fellow-clergy. The bishop sitggcs'ted "rather reverend." Then the subject dropped. AN UNKNOWN CENTENARIAN. Jfew Gr.nnrta Spmi-SpnnJnrrt Who L'lnlmei! to Ilnve Lived 1.H4 1ar In 1STS. The Interest in centenarians Is al wnys great, nnd, indeed, to some peo ple fascinntinp. As recently ns 1S73 a certain Michael Solis, of semi-Spanish origin, resided in liognto, Colom bia, and was alleged to be 1S4 years old. La Kpocri. a new firnnada jour nal, wrote at the time of one .Miguel Lollo, whom we take to be. Identical with Michael Solis: "The signature of this venerable nnciano (ancient) is nftixed to a deed relating to the foundation of a convent, and is dated 1712. Dr. Hernandez, who hud heard about this Miguel Lollo, -was desir ous of making his acquaintance, und found him busy gardening. His skin is like parchment and Ms hair as white as snow." It militates ngninst the genuineness of Michael Solis that during the last CO years or bo pre vious to what we may describe ns his discovery no one had ever seen or heard of him, says the London Lan cet, Tie is apparently unknown to such well-known writers on centenar ians n Kaston, of Salisbury, and Sharon Turner.
