ED BROWN, Alchemist Yaarab Temple. (From the London Chronicle). The clerical foxliunter is a fast dis appearing figure. A generation or two ago, however, tho country parson who rode to hounds was by no means a rarity. G. W. E. Russell has a story of Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, who was once effect ually scored on by one of his own clergy whom ho had rebuked for his addiction to foxhunting. Tho Bishop urged that it had a world ly appearance. The clergyman replied that it wns not a bit more worldly than a ball at Blenheim Palace at which the Bishop had been present.
