It commeniorates the pro- vidential escape of Sir Jolin Gayer, Lord Mayor of Léndon, who, in 1630, when joufneying in 'the east, encoun- tered a lion, which, however, on his repeating thé prayer of Daniel, allow: ed him to pursue his way unmolested. In' gratitude for this 'miraculous deliverange, Sir John left directions In his will that 4 commemorative ser- mo should be preached annually, for which the preacher should receive the equivalent of five dollars; the clerk, fifty cents; the sexton, twenty- five cents, 'while forty-four dollars should be distributed among the poor of the neighborhood. Another thanksgiving sermon of a somewhat similar nature, says The Globe, was that preached at the charge of Joseph Taylor, a Paternos- ter Row bookseller, who, to commem- wrate his preservation during the great storm of 1703, that caused the dedth by drowning of eight thousand people, destroyed the FEddystone Lighthouse, and 4id damage, it is said, in London alone to the extent of $10,000,000, left $250 for a sermcn to be delivered annually in Little Wild Street Chapel, Lincoln's Ion, Annually, on Easter Tuesday, Is the "'Spital Sermon' 'delivered before the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London at Christ Church, in Newgate street. It originated in am old cus- tom by which the Bishop of Londen was wont t6 appoint some distin- guished cleric to preach at St. Paul's Cross on Good Friday on "Christ's Pagsion," and on the Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday following, to nominate three other divines, in the person of a bishop, a dean, and a doctor of divinity, to deliver three "The Resurrection," at the pulpit-cross in the Spital. On the Sunday immediately after these ad- dresses, yet another divine was select- i ed to hold forth at St. Paul's Cross, -Leriticizing and passing judgment on the discourses that had been deliver- ed by the preceding preachers.

Guiana's Resources. The goldfields of Guiana are prob- ably the largest undeveloped aurifer- ous area im the world, according to Prof. Harrison, direstor of Science and Agriculture in tHe colony. He says that "there is not the slightest doubt that the Cuiana's goldfields are in all probability the largest unde- veloped gold-bearing area in the world. There is evidence not only that they are the most extensive, but also in places among the richest." Despite the fact that the methods émployed for the extraction of the gold from the soil have hitherto been practically of the most primitive na- ture between 1884 and the present date more than $40,000,000 worth of {sold has been obtained.

Little survives of Whitehall save the name, the one splendid fragment of the New Palace which Inigo Jones planned for King Charles I., but the course of English history determined should never be built. It served for a short while as the hanqueting hall, and later as the place wherein the King himself spent his last moments before he stepped out of its window upon the scaffold. : To-day it has become the United Service Institution, and it constitutes all'of Whitehall Palace that is known to the public. Underground, however, there is still intact a relic of the old- er palace erected by Wolsey---a vault that is said by tradition to have been the great cardinal's wine cellar. AS alréady stated, great changes are pending in Whitehall gardens, where additional Government offices afe to be built. This last relic of Wolsey's days. of power at York Place is to be preserv- ed unharmed when the new buildings rise above it. For years past the vault has serv- ed the purposes of a refreshment- for. the clerks engaged in the public offices. It is a somewhat low chamber, of no architectural preten- sions; its value historically is that it was Wolsey's building. The fact was made plain when, at the instance of the Office of Works, a part of the wall was laid bare some time ago. , The original brick was then dis- closed, and when the stucco facing had been cleared away the arms of the cardinal carved in stone were brought to light. It has become the accepted tradition that Wolsey built Whitehall, and that is probably true, for 4 builder on such a magnificent scale as his works stil to be seen at Hampton Court and at Oxford dis- play, is likely to spare little that he found on the site. Tut York Place was standing there centuries before his time. It was not even his pro- perty. Seventeen archbishops of York has possessed the place before Wol- sey, and till the day of the seizure by the crown it belonged to the Northern see. . The vault, as shown in Fisher's plan of the O%d Palace, prepared in the reign of Charles I1., was situated immediately behind the great hall. Near by were the kitchen, the but- tery, pantry, and other offices re- quisite for the preparation of the great feasts at which the all-power- "Tul Minister entertain his royal mas- er, among others. That the vault atill- preserved was actually the wine cellar is, by reason of its situation, extremely probable. The means by which King Henry VIII. secured York Palace for himself were charac- teristic. It belonged by right, as already stated, to the See of York. It was at 'his time, says the historian Strype, distinguished 'by a sumptuous mag- nificence that most probably has mev- er been equalled in the house of any other English subject, of surpassed 4 the palaces of many of its kings. «Its buildings and gardens covered three acres, and from the stairs upon the river Wolsey entered his barge, and was rowed to Esher after his dis- grace. Henry paid absolutely nothing for this most valuable property, eith- er to Wolsey, the builder, or to the See of York, the dispossessed owner. Yet in the Act of Parliament legaliz- ing the unholy business, it is set out that the state of utter ruin and de- cay into which the Ancient Palace of Westminster has fallen "ad "induced | the King to purchase' York Palace. The name was changed at once to Whitehall, Thomas Hardy at Home. A London paper, commenting upon the standing of Thomas Hardy with his townspeople, says: "In point of fact the presence of Thomas Hardy a legend to the great world -- means practically nothing to the life of Dor- chester, keepers, keen, plump, rosy, practical men, who are hard as nails at a bar- gain and 'do themselves well," Took upon Thomas Hardy as the son of his father and the brother of his brother. They know dimly that he has 'made a good thing out of book writing.' They respect him. They are proud to know that the world rings with his fame. But they wonder why."

One of the most interesting of all ' the many attractive churches of the ancient city is St. Michael's, which lies at the foot of one of the quaint- | est old streets in England, and yet seems to be right in the centre of a real country village. For in this church stands the splendid tomb and effigy of Lord Bacon---if we may be forgiven for calling him by the famil- iar but wrong title-- whilst beneath its chancel floor are buried the re- mains of one of the world's greatest . and most learned sons, Hither, then, come pilgrims from all parts of the kingdom -- nay, one may truthfully say from many lands afar also!--to | pay homage at the shrine of him who | gave literature and science so much | that is remarkable, so great an en- dowments of genius as to make his! name and fame immortal throughout the ages.
