The Oratorians at Birmingham hoped, but hoped in vain, that Cardinal Newman's new dignities would oblige him to discard the shabby old noutanc they knew so intimately. Well for them , howe%er, they did not take upon themselves to give away the veneiable gaiment in his absence; for the niominK after his return he was cheerfully peiambulatiu^ the hon^e ana^ed sib of yore, having obtained leave fiom Rome to suppress all srailet except a skull-cap and the inevitable storking.

Having his hands engaged, he bade the bearers of the bat hang it un a peg. Cardinal Newman is almost equally meek- minded. — The London World.
