I may add that according to the congress of Vienna, the diplomatic rank of a nuncio corresponds to that of an ambassador, There had been disputes as to precedence among ambassadors, and T bélieve it was settled that the Papal Nuneio should have the first rank at court.

Next to dunces, I own to a fond liking for scamps. Of course a boy may be victous, but it is very few who are really 30, and then I do not include them under the gene- ‘scamp.” My scampish friends wwe very frequently misunderstood. The trouble they cause comes from “an excess f nervous power,” like the ‘‘springhalt ” which some horses are afflicted with; a sad defect, it is true, but not an unsoundness sutticient to create breach of warranty. If parents and teachers would take a little trouble and show much kindness to their tiresome boys, they willina very short t

Referring again to dull youths, I find in my common-place book a list of those who were notoriously so at school, and yet who made their mark in the world.

him, that nl sht also do he did.
Isaac Barrow, the divine, was a qusrrel- some, idle boy. His father said of him that ‘if it pleased God to take away any of his children he hoped it might be Isaac.”
(dam Clarke was pronouncet by his father to bea ‘‘grevious dunce; but it is recorded of him that he ‘‘could roll large stones about.” Take note of boys who can and do roll large stones about. They might take to rolling great ideas about.
Dr. Chalmers was expelled from the parish school of St. Andrews as an ‘‘incor- rigible dunce.”
Walter Scott, of Edinburgh University, was labelled by Professor Dalzell, **Dunce he is and dunce he will remain.”
John Howard was an illustrious
‘learning nothing in seven years. ”
Napoleon and Wellingtou were both very
dull boys at school.

| have frequently been asked what an ‘‘Apostolic Delegate” is,—and as it is not always easy to find the meaning of diplo- matic Lerms, erhaps s0me of your readers would like to know.
He is a diplomatic agent. of the Pope. There are three classes of these agents, nuncios, internuncios and apostolic dele-

sent by Pope Innocent I{[. to receive the submission of King John of England, was only a sub-deacon. Legates a latere are either ordinary or extraordinary. The
frst govern provinces belonging to the Ecclesiastical State—such as were (before 1860) the Romagna and Marches of Ancona
in the Pope’s name. The second class is deputed to visit foreign courts on extraor- dinary occasions, such as negotiations for a peace or arrangements for a General Coun- cil. Internuncios are of inferior rank.
The apostolic delegate, or nuncius apos- tolices (who has the privilege of a red apparel, a white horse and golden spurs), posseses or- dinary jurisdiction within the province to which he is seat, but his powers otherwise are restricted by the terms of his mandate.
Legati nati, o1 leg ites by virtue of their office, are or were archbiships to whose sees, by an ancient Papal concession, the legantine authority was permanently attached, as was the case with Canterbury, in England, and Salzburg and Prague in Germany.
All these classes of legates formerly en- joyed an ample and even an immediate juris- diction as representing the Holy See in the provinces where they résided. Hence fre quent collisions with episcopal authority arose. To put an ond to these conflicts the Council of Trent decreed that legates, even those de latere ; ecclesiastical governors or | others were not to presume on the strength ot | any penalties whatsoever to impede the bish- ops in matrimonial causes or in those of criminous clerks, nor in any way to curtail or disturb their jurisdiction. Nor, on the other hand, were they to take proceedings against clerks or other ecclesiastical persons, unless iter recourse had been had to the bishop, and ne had neglected to act. The jurisdiction of | legates is now, therefore, chiefly appellate. | In Germany, the archbishops of Mentz, Colo- gne and Treves, who were electors of the em- |} pire and legates by virtue of their office, re- | sented and often thwarted the exercise of | jurisdiction by the Nuncios, and the establish- ment of a nunciature at Munich in 1785 by,
of Bavaria was the signal for an

departed brother. Tong was a Freemason. He belonged to the Confucius Lodge, and also to a society called the Lune-Gee-Yee- Tong Society. What between the cere- monies of these Masons and the many named society, it was an odd_ performance, Sharply at two o'clock a chair was placed at the foot of the coffin, and on it were laid a quaint box of candies, two large and highly ornamented candles, a bow] of rice and little teacups. ‘Two fellow Masons squatted down by the sides of the chair with an odd looking teapot, which they used to fill the cups with \s they were emptied by the mourners.

alter bowing three times to the coffin, knelt down, some kissing the floor, and sprinkled tea about a large wooden dish that was placed in front of the chair. Then they waved light- ed joss sticks until the whole room was full of the smell of burning cedar.
One of the mourners in passing the head of the deceased Chinaman was observed to drop a small coin into his mouth.
Che ceremony took up an hour. Then the coffin, well packed with Chinese playing cards, was, after the dead man’s lips had been moistened for the last time with tea, declared ready for removal to Evergreen Cemetery. Nearly one hundred)» Chinamen followed it there in carriages, scattering colored papers all the way to keep off the evil spirits. The interment was in a plot belonging to the Chinese society, but not before used by them known as Bathside,
When the funeral had entered the ceme- tery the Chinese Masons put on paper aprons, threw away their cigarettes and grew perfect- ly silent. The filling of the grave was begun nearly as soon as the cottin was lowered. As the earth fell the Master Workman of the lodge said the ancient Mongolian ritual, the mourners chanted and then each one rolled up his apron into a tiny wand and let it drop gently into the fast filling grave. After that one by one they knelt down at the foot, bow- ing three times and uttering a low, wailing noise, rose quickly and passed away.
During the services at the grave Chinese candles were lighted, and, with burning joss sticks, were left smoking on the newly made mound. A fat, well browned chicken was also deposited there, and the sward well dar- peted with the many colored papers of the kind thrown from the carriages.
Altogether the services, from the earnest manner of the participants, impressed one as being very solemn and picturesque.

LIGHTNING STRIKES A HOUSE AT FORT AUGUS- TUS, AND SHATTERS IT—A MAN AND WIFE 4LSO INJURED,
Forr Avousrts was visited by a terrific
thunder, lightning gand rain storm yes- terday (Thursday) morning. The oldest
inhabitant pronounces the storm to have been the heaviest ever experienced at that place. It set in about four o’clock in the morning, and raged fiercely until about five. The roar of the thunder was terrible, the lightning flashes exceedingly vivid, and the downpour of rain terrific.
Most of the people were terror stricken. Many of them could not rest in their beds and arose therefrom to watch the progress of the storm.
Among those who arose from their beds were the family of Mr. Peter Heron, who lives in one of the one-and-a-half story houses near Webster’s Corner.
Mr Heron was vup-stairs watching the progress of the storm through a window in He had been watching some time, when the lightning struck the window with teriffic force, break- ing it in, and passed clear through the bed- rooms and out through the east gable, which was terribly shattered.
Fortunately, a short time before the lightning struck, Mr. Heron had moved back a few feet from the window, thus es- caping instant death. As it was, however, he was knocked insensible on the floor. As soon as he recovered he took one of his children in his arms and went down stairs.

Millman Sent up for Trial.
NOTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS
The preliminary investigation was con- cluded to-day, and Millman was sent up for trial in the Supreme Court. Thomas Bryenton, arrested and tried as an accom- plice of Millman’s, was discharged, but was bound over as a witness. Several other witnesses have also been bound over,
The Examryen’s report of the evidence in detail has unfortunately miscarried, We learn that the most important evidence adduced during the day was that of Mill- man’s father, who, it is said, swore, in the first place, that his son was at home throughout the evening of the murder. Then he fainted away. After he recovered he was again placed upon the stand, and admitted that his previous statement was incorrect. . The truth was, he said, that he was away from home on that evening, and that when he returned at half-past ten or eleven o'clock, he found his son sitting up in the house,
Among the witaesses examined yesterday were the doctors who performed the post mortem. The substance of their evidence appeared in THe Examiner on Tuesday, the day after the finding of the body.
In the course of the examination a younger brother of Millman’s testified that the accused went out early in the evening of Tuesday the 28th, and was not home when he (witness) had gone to bed that night.
The prisoner will be brought to town, probably this evening, but will not be tried until next January.
It is reported that a pistol has been found in Millman’s granary.
The place at which the tragedy was done has, it is reported, also been found. It is in the wood about thirty yards from where
the handkerchief which led to the recovery ,
of the body was found.
Millman’s mother has, it is stated, been crazed by reason of the affair.

Address and Presentation.
Last evening the members of the 82nd Battalion Band,in camp, waited upon Drum Major Lightening at his tent and present- ed him with a handsome dressing case and cake basket, and the following
ADDRESS:
To A. L. Lightening, Drum Major, 66th Fusil- eers, Canada Militia :—-
DEAR Srr,—As you are about to take your leave froin Us to-morrow, we cannot let this Opportun- ity pass without in some way showing our appre- ciation of the gentlemany manner in which you treated us, and also for the very valuable assist- ance you rendered to us during the brief time you had command of us in camp.
In taking your departure, we truest that it will only be for a short season and that we shall have the honor and privilege of being commanded by you during our pext camp.
We beg of you to acceptasa small token the accompanying dressing and would be pleas- ed if you would present to Mrs. Lightening--of whom we have n pleased to hear you speak in terms of high commendation—the accompany- ing cake basket, on behalf of the Band, and trust that you may both be blessed with health sand happiness in the future.
We remain, r Sir, Yours very truly, Signed by al] members of the Band.
Drum Major Lightening was taken com- pletely by surprise by the presentation, and replied in a few well chosen remarks. He said that it had been more of a pleasure than a duty he had experienced in being the Band’s Instructor for the time they had been in camp together, and thanked them in a very feeling manner on behalf of bhin- self and Mrs. Lightening for the kind ap- preciation they had manifested towards him for his services.
