The a officers were at the Great Western Railway g Station meeting the ten o'clock train from c Bristol, when they noticed two men carrying- t bundles and who seemed to be acting rather i. suspiciously. They followed, and took the men c into custody and escorted them to the Central Police-station. There they gave the names of John Blake and Thomas Smith, and said they were Bristol men, who had ceme to Cardiff to find work. Their bundles, they averred, con- tained their working clothes. On being "j searched, one man was found to be wearing a couple of pairs of trousers, in the pockets of which were some stage trinkets. &c- whilst which were some stage trinkets. &c., whilst both bundles contained a varied assortment of ladies' clothes and new boots.

GALLANT SWANSEA BOY. ( He Rescues a Drowning Lad at Rosario 7 Harbour. News has just reached Swansea of the gallant conduct of Charles S. Whyatt, second mate of II the barque Foxhound.

Wbyatt deserves every praise fer the true British pluck he displayed.

IN BARRY ROADS." b n TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING EXPRESS.' Sir.—Surely, the fate of the Vanduara must re-call that of the gallant four-master, the r, Drumblair. which blew ashore on the rocks at 11 Sully Point- a few years ago. In this case aho w it was reported that she "dragged her imeho in Barry Roads." The fact is, "Barry Roads" is a misnomer. Until the influence of mighty capita-lists dubbed it "Barry Roads," thus ill- timating that vessels might ride at anchor there safely, no seaman who knew this roast would have anchored a little ketch in such an unsafe ground, and now, forsooth, to bolster up the a Barry .Dock and Railway, there are Barry pilot'* who run the risk of losing human lives p and thousands of pounds of underwriters' money bv anchoring b'g' vessels in Parry s so- called "roads." How many vessels T-hich drag their anchors there are saved iI, the nick of time. I wonder?—I am. &:c., CALL A SPADE A SPADE.

SUNDAY GOLFING AT PENARTH Father D'Huist of Barry Champions the New Movement. Perceiving in the "Evening Express" on Wednesday that some of the Sunday "olf- players at Penarth were described to be Roman Gthaolie", and indulged in the game after attending morning service. a* reporter of the Evening Express called upon the Rev. Father Em. D'Hulst. the new clergyman of the Barry Dock Roman Catholic Church, at the Presbytery, Cadoxton, during the day for the purpose of ascertaining his views with recard to the new Sunday move- ment. In the course of conversation, Father D'Huist, who is a native of Belgium, and, therefore, fully accustomed to Continental life, I said he would be sorry to encourage indulgence in anything that was bad on the Lord's Day. but who was to determine what was good and what was bad? Who was to say whether golf- playing and such innocent games were sinful or not on the Sabbath? Personally, he saw- no harm whatever in games of the kind, whether not on the Sabbath? Personally, he saw no harm whatever in games of the kind, whether plaYU1 r,r., week- days Th" gentlemen at. Penarth attended Divine Service in the morning, and he certainly questioned the right of a few individuals to set themselves up as censors, and to say that it was a sin to indulge in a game of golf on Sunday afternoon. He (Father D'Huist) was. no doubt, imbued to some extent with Continental customs, but he very much doubted the courage of those who ventured to say the Continental conscience was altogether bad so far as the observance of the Sabbath was concerned, and that the English conscience was altogether good. At the same time. he would not care to introduce practices into this country which were contrary to the customs of the people.

(The" Connecting Link." i SOMETHING VERY MUCH LIKE HERE. Jlandor s Description of the Ugly Hairy Ainus the Oldest Race in the Northern Hemsphere. Some new light on the most primitive of primitive races in the northern half of Mte i earth has been given to the world by A. H. Savage Landor, an Englishman who made a visit to Hakodate, which is on the island of Yezo, and is the northern treaty port of the Japanese islands. There he found some queer specimens of semi-human kind known as the Hairy Ainu. The Ainus are probably the "lowest down" in the sea-le of humanity of any ¡ living race. Mr. Laador had heard that no solitary traveller could possibly make a teiir of the island, but he succeeded in doing i'6, and gives some interesting ethnological facte -in a narrative p-u-blished by 'him enti-ued, "Alone with the Hairy Ainu." The Ainu is described as having no similarity whaiever to the Japanese and Chinese type of JDGtl. The colour of the skin is light reddish-b.()Wll. The eye is particularly contrasted to-the Mon- golian eye. having a similar form andsettillg to that- of North Europeans. The toir- skin is supposed to indicate a northern origin. The eyes are very impressive and show the emotions in an interesting' way. In adults AN AINU MAN. I the hair is black, wavy, and inclined to form large churls. The emotion* are expressed by slight ohange" of posture er gegfeare, but the Ainus do not care to sfeow their feelings they have no seuee of shame, and even fear appears hardly known to them. Their history for the last 2,500 years is to a certain extent known. They were supposed at one time to ha.ve occupied the Japanese arehipelagoes aad to have been driven to Yew. when they main- tained their independence until the lURth can- tm-y, kiien i4gbj&< »*. Tar.?w~ fierceness gradually left them, and they aie now among the most peaceable and submissive of the earth's inhabitants ast Yezo. Their number is estimated to be about 17,000. Tibs women do most of the hard work, but the men when hunting can walk forty miles a day with, out fatigue, although they usually prefer to ride, ponies being plentiful and of a good breed. In moving a load or heavy object the Ainus never push, but always pull towards them. They appear to nse the feet and toes very freely to help their hands and fingers, and they readily employ their teeth, preferring to pull with the teeth than the hand when an unusually heavy haul is necessary. Their appearance struck Air. Landor as exactly Kke AN AINU WOMAN. the re-constructions of the primitive man of Northern Europe, and many of their move- ments re-called those of the anthropoid apes, which are the only creatures that have been thought of as the possible "connecting link" between men and their fellow animals of a lower grade. They are an extremely filthy people, both in their persons and huts. They seem to have an acute sense of smell, dis- tinguishing between the odour of an English- man and a Japanese, but oblivious to their own very marked perfume-an intensified form of the "peculiar odour of an uncleaned monkey's cage." The sense of touch is singularly de-. fective, and even when the extremes are painful they cannot distinguish the sensation of heat from that of cold. Their hearing is very a-cute. They are small in stature, although larger that the Japanese.
