IN EXCELSIS.--No better example of the methods employed by
Vivisectionists could be given than was presented at the Church

elevated description. These Bishops are not "_in partibus_," but _in

heads must be uncommonly hard to stand all this water on the brain. A
dividend of eight per cent. is, after all, a very pleasant draught.
