As ® priost, he was able, accomplished, and in- Qofatigablo; as an oxcoutivo officer, ko way dis- tinguished for the encrgy ho diaplayedin tha administration of is Episcopal Government, Bishop Whitohouso was & finm boliever {u Episcopal stthority, and nover failod to assert that authorily whanover opposed or resisted, no mattor where, by whom, or under whot circum- atunces, 1o udmitted uo rolaxation of tho dis~ cipline of tho Ghurch, nor would ko, by ellonco or otherwiso, tolorato it.

Thoe Iatost of thoso controvorsies was with the Reetor of Ohrst Church, tho Rev. Mr. Clovoy, now a Dishop of tho new Reformed Episcopal Chuich. That maifor, nfter passing through the eccloslustical courts, passed into tho civil courlaon questions of property, and ia still peuding there, Tho ceclesiustical courts doposed Mr, Cheney from the priesthood, but he still ro- taina the Church property, Though tho Bistiop did ot livo to know tho flual decision in that caso, ho had wituessed tho deposition of A, Cloney confirmod 18 8 fuct by tho formul accopt- suce by tho Jattor of an Episcovnl oflico in a sohismatio organization. Bishop Whitohouse was,” wo suppose, tho rocognizod toador of what is popularly oalled the 1igh Churoh body In tho United Statos.

Mr. Boocher s sn aminontly literary mat, aud Mrs. Tilton i alover of literature.

Thus, whethor Mr. ‘Boochor started out with an ovil purpose or not, tho Platonie friondship carried these two along untit M, Tilton wished that ¢ Hoaven had made her such & man,” Having roached this point, it was easy enough for her to beliovo that Toaven had done this for Ler, and tho slrong mind, moro and morae influencing the weak ono, tho catastrophie may havo cOmO UNAWAICA.

Tord Dunfany published & work recently on tho futuro allios of England, in which horo- ‘marks on tho pasco of Europo, and on the policy which should govern Eugland at prosent in hor cholco of frionds nmong tho nations. Taking a survoy of the map of Europo, ho thinks that, on tho whoe, thiore are moro chances that tho peaco of Earope shall bo preserved for a long timo to como than that it shall bo brokon. By o happy combination of cireumstauces, he observes thero are, 60 far a8 sppostaucos cau ba at all truatad, four groat powers whoso interests dictato that thoy uhould make common eauso for the proser- vation of poace and tho welfara ot Euzopo. And first of tho auti-poace cloments. Thore is Rnssia in tho Euul, strotching from the Arctio Qcoan to the Black Sea, gatboring all her strongth to accomplish that which he be- lioves to bo her manifest dosting, viz., tho con- trol of India. Russin, thoroforo, cannok bo con- giderod a consorvative element in European politics, It is evon o disturbing olement. To the waat is Fraoco, which, up to 1870, was con- sidored tho aebitar ot Buropo, anothor disturb - fog cloment, France, it is well known, oou- tomplates a war of rotribution upon Germany. Betweon these two disturbing forcos lio tho Gorman Empiro iud Austria.

Lach has s vigitant, jeatous, and ambitions noighbor rendyto solzo tho first favorablo opportunity for attack. Russin is no friend of Cormany, and, thnt it did not avail itsclf of its chanco in 1870 to pounco ‘upon Prussia, affords no guarantoo for tho future. T4l within s vory rocent timo Russin hns boon ou bad tarms with France, and it wag not ita in- torest to holg Frunco becomo almighty in tho affairs of Europe, which it would have boon dolng had It kided with hor in that bloody strug- glo.
