Bishops From the North Have Always Taken an Inferior Place--Some Coronations of the Past. The bers of the Episcopal bench are entrusted with great and respon- sible: duties at the crowning of the kings of England. "This, indeed, is only natural, seeing that so very sol- emn and sacred as LS Inealting is eonnect- ed with the and solemmity of the coronation. T ancient title or ex- pression employed for this ceremon in that of the "hallowing" or y "ancriog"' of the king. In other words the king, by virtue of hjs coronation, becomes invested with a dual posi- tion; 'or; to quote the ancient x. pression, he is henceforth a "mixta , hall a cleric, hall a-lay- man. The ides is more particularly conveyed bo the solemn sets anoint ing or unction. It is further implied in the various robes with which be is in-/ vested | diately after the anoint ing, all of which "correspond in great Taaially to the vestments worn cere i priest and bishop." To quote id ol fifteen-century writer's encription of the coronation of Henry VI, he was arrayed "lyke as a Byshop should say masse, with a dal- matyk, and a stole about® his necke, and also as hosyn and shone and copys and pd flows like a byshop." The place at the coronation service a long been assigned to the primate of all England, the lord arch- bishop' of Canterbury. This prelate did nat, however, acquire his position without 'something of a struggle; and it is worth our while to trace the his tory of the connection between the see of Suntory and the coronation in some detail, When William the Conqueror as cended the throne of England the pri- mucy was occupied hy Stigand, a Saxon. The latter was looked upon with scant favor by the Normans, for they considered that his appointment to the see of Canterbury Rad beep in- valid: in certain directions.

Then came . Lanfranc, the great statesman and primate. He promptly set himself to do all in his power with a view to the vo randissmémt of his see, He enjoled William I. into be un- proceeding to give ofet York in future any lot or portion in the ceremony. of the boy He oven went so far as toa ve doubls as to wheth- . the Joyalty of the northern prim- ate could always be rélied upon to stand any trinl or 'test fo which he might be subjected.

Not long after the coronation of the eonqueror, Ealdred, archbishop of York, was also requisitioned tb crown his 'consort, queen Matilda. From that date onward it has dlways been recognized, in theory, that the right of growing the queen consort = is associated with the northern primacy. We find this stated in all the usual text books on the subject of the coro nation, sud also in lsgal treatises which deal with the privileges of that archbishopric. Yet, strange to say, shin right has never bern exercised on si occasion, It bas been re- arved or the present reign for the bappy innovation (as we must tetm it) $0 be made by which this ancient theoretical privilege, will be converted into definite literal fact. These are the only bishops who can be said to ewe their position to any actual right or privilege. © Numbers of them, as we shall soe in a moment, take some active, part in the cere mony; but in each case the pesition is due to the actual appointment 'of the sovereign, at the - coronation 'in question. The bench of bishops, with out doubt, enjoy the best view of the ceremony. All of them, whether ac tually officiating, or only present in the capacity of peers, occupy seats on the porth side of the sacrariom--a splendid vantage ground--a purple vel vet chair 'and footstool being provided for the primate somewhat in advance of his brethren. These pass to him, after the ceremony is over, as his per, quisite, Out all this large body of bish ops. two have to be selected to read ie epistle and the gospel, and, if there be a queen consort to he crowned, two of them have to support her.

A Story of the Heavy Fighting on March 31st ~~ The Hottest Thing in Shooting the Writer Was Ever In--Canadians Dis- tinguished Themselves, Surgeon-Major Duff, of the 2nd Canadian mounied rifles, writes as follows, under date of Pretoria, April 2rd, to an officer in. Ottawa You have probably beard we. had heavy fighting on March 3ist, when the re- giment acquitted itself well, and sus tained the reputation which former Canadian regiments out here had gained. Through a Boer prisoner, it was learned that there had been be twoen 2,200 and 2300 men engaged. Col. Cookson, the 0.C.. of our col umn, issued rations for 1,499 of all ranks the previous evening, which re- Sig about 1.200. fighting men. (be Boers came out in the open and fought as bravely as men could fight, and kept it up for about two and one bali hours steadily. They were evi- dently ecock-sure. of capturing the camp or they wonld not have fought #0 stubbornly and persistently as they did. Lieut. Carruthers' men dis tinguished themselves, as you know, ft was the hottest thing in shooting I bad ever been in. Col. Cookson said that the Canadians saved the camp. Their action also encouraged the other troops. We had eleven good men killed, It is unfortunately the best men that fall. We had about sixty wounded, some of them not seri- ously enough to go to hospital. When Col. Evans found that on account of the peace negotiations we were not to have any fighting "for six or eight days he sent me down to visit the hospitals along the tine and to hunt up sich as our sick and wounded as were missing and to distribute some of 'the Red Cross funds, where they were 'most' needed.
