The now number of the Leisure Hour contains several interesting
and readable miscellaneous papers, such as the third of a series by Isabella Bishop, entitled " Among the Tibetans ;" " The Polar Problem," by P. R. Benyon ; and "Archbishop Tait—Three Per- sonal Reminiscences," by Mr. Munby, Rector of Turvey, in Bed- fordshire. It is difficult to identify t' e Archbishop who preceded Dr. Benson with the head-maste: of Rugby wh' prsvented a town- and-gown riot on the Fifth of N-v Anb, r 'n 1846. Yet Mr Munby pictures him riding like a general into the square of Rugby with his lieutenants. Then, " with perfect dignity and self- possession the head-mate: was seen is rise in his stirrups, to lift his right hand with hit riding-whip high in the air, and to exclaim —his powerful voice ringing through the square—these memorable words : Every boy who does r o go instantly back to his hoarding-house will be expelled .-morrow morning.' " There is a curious vein of mysticism in the chief serial story, " What Necessity Knows," which rocars Mr. George Macdonald.
