, At nmiddny on Friday, April 18th, any persons assembled in tha cloisters of Westminister Abboy to see the un conventional service which Archdeacon Wiibmorce daily conducts for the wcknacn. The men, seated on either p'de of tho cloister, enjoyed their pipes during; the aervicp, and oaeortwo took ocoaStoDai driuks from their cans of beer, their eyrs all the while fixed on . fi-ie Arshdcftcon. These are not the only privileges they are allowed. They ttviy appkud—at least th«y applauded twire on Friday, and very warmly, too. An anecdote which the Archdeacon told about Lord Roberts produced the first outburst. "Soraa people cay," remarked the preacher "(mat it isn't niMEiiy to beteligous. " hat's all tomfool■ pry." Then he told tho wotktuen a story offthe heroism of 'Ad«nis, who di:r;ng tbfi Afghan War saved the It vet of two ;r.o'->perß of tbe 9 h L*nc-«rs who had bppn *hot ih & nulinh. Lord' Ro berts mentioned'the incident in his dis patches rind recoQitnendc'd Pftrson Adam=i for ihe Victoria Cros?.'

At tbe end of the Bfr vica tbe Archdeacon was rewarded with cries of " Thank you, sir." A I hyma and prayer closed the half-bour'i service The men knocked tho ashei oufc of their pipes, pub the latter in their pockets, and filed back into the Abbey to prepare ifc for the most rnein* orable service of the country;
