la scholastic circles there is (says the Wellington correspondent of the Havvkes Bay Herald) a good deal of talk in consequence ot tne failure of the Government to appoint representatives of the leading churches to the Univeisity Senate. Archbishop Redwood, of the Roman Catholic Church, Bishop Nevill, of the Anglican Church, and Rev J. Paterson, of the Presbyterian Church, many persons think might very well have been nominated by the' Government.

But this amount is very far from representing the sum total of charity dispensed by London Jews. It hardly represents much more than is supposed to be given away by a single family- -the Rothschilds—whose charities are said to total up in the course of a year to “Pshaw !” cried the newly-arrived spirit ; “you ancients had no great captains of industry.

Henry Dickens, son of the novelist, is author-ty for this story of the heir presumptive to the English throne, the little George Frederick Ernest Albert:—“Shortly after the death of Queen Victoria the little Prince earnestly inquired of one of the ladies-in-waiting, ‘ls grannie in heaven ?’ ‘Yes, your Royal Highness,’ was the reply. ‘ls there a King in heaven ?’ next inquired this princeling. Answered in the affirmative, the future King of England shook his head sadlv, and said, ‘Grannie won’t like that at all.
