Heath and Sous, Queen-street, Cardiff pianoforte makers, organ builders, aud music ware housemen, have collected tLll imposing array of testi monials n.nd Press opinions relating to the auality of he musical instruments supplied by them. The lirin s so well known in Cardiff and, iudeed, throughout South Wales aud the West of England that it is hardly necessary here to well upon its jnfiuence and commanding position. This collection of tesiimouia.s serves, however, to do something more than certify to the excellence of the instruments furnished Ly Messrs. Heath and Sons. It shows, in a sense how steady is the jrrowth among the general public of a. desire for a knowledge of music, and how increasing numerous, even m the homes of the working c.asses a e manos. ortrans. and harmoniums. The ?re.;t uiajontr ot the letters in this list relate to pianos ana while M.IUV of them have reference to most costlv instruments containing ill tbe latest improve- ments. supplied to the well to-do, the greater num- ber related to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wage-earning portion of the community. This growing love for so refining an art as music is a most favourable sIgn. For though in the Principality music has for generations been lie chief recreation of the people, it has for the most part been choral music in connection with churches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instru- mental music is now. however, receiving its fair share of attention, :t.nd aU those in true svnmathy with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials have been re- ceived from every quarSer of the Principality, while not a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and some from South America. India, ami other distant countries. All speak most favourablv of Messrs. Heath's business ell as of their instruments. II. J. HBiTK .I) Soss INVITE INSPECTION.

Gathered from Gwalia, A COLUMN OF NOTES OF WALES AND WELSHMEN. Paragraphs of Persons and Places of Interest and Instruction to Old and Young. Lord Beaconsfield would have been ninety to-day had he lived. Cainliffians are waxing- prosperous. The num- ber of oarria.pe-and-pairs is steadily increasing. I It is likely that Air. Ben Davies will appear on the stage of the Royal Opera House towards I the middle of next month. I Golf is becoming a passion. Lord Windsor has been elected president of the Glamorgan- shire Golf Club for the ensuing- year. Mr. J. M. Maclean was last night made an Oddfellow, but all the initiations in the world would not make him so odd as Sir Edward Reed. Air. W. J. Grant-, the acrent in agriculture of the Monmouthshire Technical Instruction Committee, has been placed on the floral com- mittee of the Royal Horticultural Society. Lord and Lady Fowis have presented to the village church of Lydbury North, di Mont- gomery, a noble brass lectern as a thauk offering on the second birthday of their son, Viscount Clive. From the time of its formation, a little over six years ago to the present day. the Barry Local Board has received an income in rates and loans of £ 335,825 14s. 8d., and spent £ 337,749 12<. lid. 2 A man has been fined 20s. at Swansea for win- ning £ 200. We wouldn't mind being mulcte 1 at the same rate every blesr-cd day of our life. There is no trotting track at Swansea, hemv these proceedings. Judge G-w.ilym Williams entertains pessi- mistic views as to the regeneration of the human race. At Swansea County-court this week ho told a woman the court was full of wicked people—men and women. Swansea is dangerously near being proud of its police-court veterans. Ellen Sweeney holds the world's championship for number of con- victions, and Margaret Ivogers, of the same town, has just cut the 179th notch. In the "Evangelical Macraaine'' for January, 1895, there is an article from the pen of th* Rev. J. Morg-an Gibbon on "Sunday Morning in Utopia." Utopia, apparently, is the aris- tocratic name for the vulgar Millennium. Mr. Beriah Evans holds he has a right to break into a church and hold a pari-h meeting there if he chooses. The tirst time this is cone it is to lw hoped some elerq-ymati will break into Mr. Evans s house, and hold a meeting there. 0 Mr. Berry. ex-executioner, and now public lecturer, has just declared that he offbiit-d at over 500 hangings during his term of <>cf, but he "never hanged a teetotaler." What a mercy he mentioned it. Now we all know how- 0 to escape the condemned cell. Sign the pledge, and you'll never touch a drvp. In a Carmarthenshire parish some miles dis- tant from Newcastle-Emlyn there are no less than fourteen women who have never seen a train. They are in the fifties, and half of them are unable to write their names. Now, however, that the train is about due in Emlyn. they stand a chance of seeing a steam engine. In the tenth century baths were so common amongst the people that they figure amongst the laws in connection with hamlets. Thus there were three fires for which there was no indemnity-bumina'of heath in March, the fire of a smithy, and the fire of a bath in a hamlet seven fathoms from other houses. General Laurie, the Conservative candidate for the Pembroke Boroughs, arrived at his London residence last week, after an absence of four months in Canada. It is expected that the gallant general will shortly visit the con- stituency which will probably provide him v ith a seat in Parliament next year. One or the few Welsh clergymen ordained in St. Paul's Cathedral is the Rev. T. Jones, vicar of l'enbiyn. Mr. Jones was ordained there 25 years a-go to-day by letters dimissory from the Bishop of St. David's, and then commenced duties as curate of Cardigan. With all his good sense and good nature Air. Jones ha.s failed to drive anti-titheism into Cardigan Bar. Mr. E. B. Kennedy, the writer of the inte- resting article entitled "Sporting Recollections in Norway" in this week's "Field." is a literary gentleman who resided for some years in Pem- brokeshire. He is also a traveller, having spent some of his time in Australia, and. as a result of his Colonial experience, he has written two works portraying Australian life and character. A lady canvasser was reporting results of the visits made by ladies to electors in a South "Wales town. "How were you received at the barracks?"' was one of the questions. "Ob, the voters there were most kind. The soldiers received us with open arms." and then the lady stopped abruptly, for everybody was laugh- inz except her husband, whose eyebrows were almost touching his cheekbones. There is a story of a goose proing round the Cardiff Docks. It was won at a Christmas draw. and the chartering clerks are clamour- ing for p. share. The winner is forming a lirr.itea liability company for the demnlitio:i of the bird. but. as the chairman is known to be particularly partial to goose, the intending subscribers insist that he shall take up nine- tenths of the capital. "Yes, writes a. correspondent, "you are quite right when you say that the Aryan root Ta in Tawe, Teify. Taf. &c- means to cut or divide. Tf we consult the Ereo<rrapbioal charts of ancient historians we find that all the rivers beginning with the root Ta are marked as bonudarv line," between different tribes. The suffixes 'y' and "e' appear to come from 'gwy,' water, and where the T ar>r°ars the Aryan Digamma in 'afem.' river. is seen. A parish council in Carmarthenshire means business. It was proposed at their first meet- ing by a mem.ber--and be a that steps should be immediately taken towards bringing lightning to the village. We villagers." to tli e. -er. writes a correspondent, "ob.iect to this, but would not mind first lightning-conductors and then the lightning. But we are afraid that this would lie lis-hteninsrthc pockets of the rate- payer a little too much. One of our reporters who was on the premises of the George Hotel on Friday night, just before the initiation of Mr. J. M. ATaclean and Coun- cillor Alorgan AIorgan as Oddfellows, told us as a secret, upon his return to the office, that both gentlemen, before they entered the lodge- room, seemed very much agitated-a fact which he ascribes to the sundry references made by Councillor Hughes to red-hot pokers. Later on. however, both the honorary members appeared intact, and went away smiling. The connection between Bible and beer does not seem to be diminishing, whether in regard to the Church or Dissent. Some of the best clergymen of the day first saw the lip-ht under the aegis of St. Boniface. So did several of the most prominent Nonconformists, such as the Rev. Dr. Herber Evans. Carnarvon, and his brother. Jus-tin Evans, the Rev. W. Emlrn Jones, and the Rev. J. ATorgan Gibbon, not to mention the late Ambrose, of Portmadoc, who was one of the' best poets and preachers that Wales ever produced. In 1855 Prince Jerome Bonaparte made a tour through a good deal of North and Routh Wales, • and was delighted with his reception. One incident of his visit lingers yet in Carmarthen- shire. Half-way between Llandovery and Brecon, by the roadside, the Prince and his frkrds came to a cosy cottage, with a neatly- cultivated garden, and the chronicles of the time state that forth from the wayside house strode a. giant to meet the Royal vis-tor. The giant was no less 3 man than Brutus." with whom the Prince had a. long and pleasant chat.

The Land-slip. It seemed to me to be a very peevish speech, the speech of a man vainly beating the air, and as be feels the ground slipping under his feet, trying to avoid 1. z;1 slipping into the abyss before him." (Mr. MACLEAN'S speech at the Docks.)

TICHBORNE CASF. The Missing Baronet Said to Have been Found in an Asylum. A Dahiel's telegram from Sydney on Thurs. day saysInterest in the famous Tichborne ('aóóe h.w hueD revived by the extraorduiary report as. to the movements and whereabouts of the missing baronet, and, should it be pioved true, the result will throw a curious light upon the sensational ca.se which attracted attention years ago. It is stated that Sir George Roger Tichborne has been found. William Cressewell, on inmate of the insane asylum at Parramattn, is said to be the baronet. A Mrs, Jenkins, who claims to have made the discovery, asserts that, as the result of an extensive inves- tigation, she has ascertained that after Sir Roger Tit hborne landed at Alellxmrne from the ship Bella, when he was known as Thomas Castro, he went to Gippsland, where lie worked as a rattle and sheep drover. While there he met Arthur Orton, and the two worked together fJom 1R54 to 1859. Tichbome adopted the name of Charles Hampton, and was next heard of at Deniliquin, in New South Wales. In The course of his stay there he had a severe illness, and, fearing lie would never recover, wrote three letters, giving instructions at the time that, if he died. two of them were to be sent to Eng- land. The third was an open letter, stating that he was the son of a Hampshire gentleman and heir to a baronetcy. However, he got better, and for a time resumed his own name. He and Orton. who was still with him, lived together at Hay, and afterwards at Alarandera and Qteaiibcyan. At Queanboyan lie passed as William Creswell. and under that name married in 1861, at that place, the sister of Thomas Oates. His next residence was Gundaroo. where, in 1863, his wife died. He then re-joined Orton, and the two conducted a butchering business at Wagga Wagga and several other towns in the Riverina District and the southern portion of the Colony. In 1870 he was placed in Gladesville Asylum at Sydney, but was dis- charged early the following year as sane. During his detention he told the doctor at the institution that he came from Strathiisidsay. in Hampshire, and that some of his relatives had served under the Duke of Wellington. He was sent back to the asylum a few months later, and in 1872 transferred to Parramatta Asylum, where lie has remained ever since. Air. Priest- man. of the City Alutual Life Society, and Dr. Kelly. of Sydney, have taken up Airs. Jenkins's story, and her statements are being fully inves- tigated. They have obtained a number of docu- ments written by Creswell at the time of his wife's death, and the writing has been identified as Tichborue's. Fac-similes have been sent bv Alr. Priestma.n to the Alarquess of Zetland, to Lord Petrie. and to the London "Times." Mr. Priestman knows the Tichborne family, and has asked t,hem to gTant him a power of attorney to act for them in the matter. Dr. Kelly has carefully examined the man known as Cres swell. a,nd found various marks upon his liody similar to those on Sir Roger Tichborne. His Excellency the Governor has manifested j great interest in the case, and several prominent citizens of Sydney are warmly assisting in the investigations.

NEW RADICAL CLUB. Sir Edward Reed is to be Asked to Open it. An attempt is to be made to establish a Liberal Club in the Cardiff Park Ward. Coun- cillor Alorgan Morg-an is to be asked to accept the presidency, and Sir E. J. Reed will be asked to come down and open the den of infamy." It will be interesting to know his answer to such an awkward invitation from his own supporters.

IRISH VOTE SOLD. A Sensational Story of Prime Minister Rosebery. Our London correspondent telegraphs:-It is a great deal more than a straw—the M Ewan incident. Mr. M'Ewan's speech, which has created consternation m the Ministerial ranks, was written before it was delivered. It was submitted to Lord Rosebery, who expressed his approval of it. Another political personage to whom the speech was shown suggested that it should be modified. Mr. M'Ewan replied that he could not do that because Lord Rose- bery had seen it and approved of it. To con. firm this statement. I may add that Ministe- rialists here admit that the AI'Ewan speech represents the Premier's views. If that be so. the party is smashed. A man who was at the Edinburgh meeting tells me that the aspect of the leading men on Mr. M'Ewan's platform was a study when he delivered the important pass-ages—some of them turned red and others white; some trembled, and others stiffened into the unutterable. This repre- sents the aspect of the whole party under the influence of the speech. MR. WALLACE FOLLOWS THE LEAD OF AIR. AI'EWAN. Air. Wallace. Al.P., at Edinburgh, on Thurs- day night, substantially endorsed the views of Air. AI'Ewan, Al.P., and thus within one week two Radical constituencies of Edinburgh in effect condemned the policy of the Govern- ment. The "Scotsman" says:—"Air. Wallace adopts the same line as Air. AI'Ewan as to the Second Chamber. He is opposed to a hereditary Chamber, and would, therefore, I abolish the House of Lords, but only to put a strong elected Chamber in its place. He puts the argument against a single Chamber in an admirably pithy form. Mr. Wallace is. there- fore, opposed to the plan of the Government- He shows clearly the absurdity of the Leeds resolution which the Government seem now to have adopted, though not more clearly than Lord Rosebery himself did before he was driven bv foroes behind him to 'toe the line.' If the resolution brought forward by the Government be on the lines of the Leeds resolution, the member for East Edinburgh will, he says. be unsympathetic, though he cautiously refuses to say how he would vote. It is also worth observin g that. though he is in favour of abolishing the House of Lords and creating a stronger Second Chamber, he doubts the wisdom of his leaders in raising the question at. the present juncture. He was not per- fectly certain.' he said, 'if it would do them good from a party point of view. FRENCH OPINION OF THE SITUATION. A Dalziel's telegram from Paris on Thursday says :-Commenting on the relations existing be- tween Lord Rosebery and Sir Wm. Harconrt, the "Journal des Debats" says that everything tends to show that if the country were con- sulted to-morrow it would place the Couserva- tives in pewer.

(Continuation of Peck's Bad Boy.) Pa told my chum and1 me that it was no harm to learn to box 'cause we could defend ourselves, and he said he used to be a holv terror with the boxing gloves when be was a. boy. and he has been giving us lessons. Well, he is no slouch, now I tell you. and handles himself pretty well for a church member. I read in the paper how Za.ck Chandler played it on C-onkling by getting Jem Alace. the prize fighter, to knock him silly, and I a-sked Pa if he wouldn't let me bring a pour boy who had no father to teach him boxing to our house to learn to box. and Pa said 'certainly, fetch him etlong.' He said he vould be glad to do anything for a poor ciphan. So I went down m the Third ward and got an Irish boy by the name of Duffy, who can knock the socks off of any boy 'in the ward. He fit a prize fight once. It would have made you laugh to see Pa telling him how to hold his hands, and how to guard his face. He told Duffy not to be afraid, but to strike right out and hit for keeps. Duffy said he was afraid Pa would get mad if be bit him. and Pa. said. 'Nonsence. bov. knock me down if vou can. and I will laugh, ha ha!' Well, Duffy he hauled back and gave Pa one in the nose a.nd another in both eyes. and cuffed him on the ear and punched' him in the stomach, and lammed him in the mouth and made his teeth bleed, and then he gave him a side- winder in both eyes, and Pa pulled off the boxing gloves and grabbed a chair, and we adjourned and went down stairs as though there was a panic. I haven't seen Pa sinee. \Yas his eye very black ?" "Black. I should say SQ." said the grocery man. "And his nose seemed to be trying to look int-o his left ear. He was at the mar- ket buying beefsteak to put on it," "0, beefsteak is no account. I must go and see him and tell him tha.t an oyster is the best thing for a black eye. Well, I must go. A boy has a pretty hard time running a house the way it should be run," ajid the boy went out and hung up a sign in front of the grocery: 'Frowy Butter a Speslmlty.

"You don't want to buy a good parrot, do you?'' said the bad boy to the grocery man, as he put his wet mittens on the top of the stove to dry. and kept his back to the stove so he could watch the grocery man. and be prepared for a kick, if the man should remember the rotten-egg sign that the boy put up in front of the grocery last week. "Na,w. I don't want no parrot. I had rather have a fool boy around than a par- rot. But what's the matter with your Ala's parrot? I thought she wouldn't part with him for anything." Well, she wouldn't until Wednesday night; but now she says she will not have him around, and I may have half I can get fur him. She told me to go to some saloon, or some disreputable place and sell him. and'I thought maybe he would about suit vou." and the boy broke into a bunch of celery, and took out a few tender stalks and rubbed them on a codfish, to salt them, and began to bite the stalks, while he held the sole of one wet boot up against the stove, 10 d''y it, making a smell of burned leather that came near turning the stomach of tha cigar sign. "Look-a-here. boy. don't you call this a disreputable place. Some of the best people in this town come here." said the grocery man,, as he held up the cheese-knife and grated his teeth as though he would like to jab it into the youth. "0. that's all right, they come here "cause vou trust; but you make up what you lose by charging at to other people. Pa will make it hot for you the last of the week. He has been looking over vour bill, and comparing it with the hired girl. and she says we haven't ever had a prune, or a dried apple, or a raisin, or any cinnamon, or crackers and cheese out of your store, and lie says you are worse than the James Brother-, and that you used to be a three card monte man; and he wiTl have yott arrested for highway robbery., but you can settle thai with Pa. I like you, because you are no ordinary sneak thief. You are a- high-toned, gentlemanly sort of a bilk. and wouldn't take anything you couldn't lift. O. keep your seat, and don't get ex- cited. It does a man good to hear the truth from one who I-as got the nerve to tell it. "But about the parrot. Ala has been away from home for a week. having a high old time in Chicago, going to theatres and things, and while she was gone' I guess the hired girl or somebody ) '-iied -hs, parrot some new things to say. A parrot that can only say 'Poly wants a cracker,' don't amount to anything—what we need is new style parrots that can converse on the topics of the day,, and say things original. Well, when Ma got back, I guess her conscience hurt her for the way she had been carrying on in Chicago, and so when she heard the basement of the church was being frescoed, she invited the committee to hold the Wed- nesday evening prayer meeting at our house. First., there wer.e four people came, and Ma asked Pa to stay to make up a quorum, and Pa said seeing he had two pair he guessed he would stay in. and if Ala would deal him a queen he would have a full hand. I don't know what Pa meant; but he plays draw poker sometimes. Anyway, there were eleven people came, including the minister, and after they had talked about the neighbours a spell, and Ala had showed the women a new tidy she had worked for the heathen, with a motto on it which Pa had taught her 'A contrite heart beats a bob-tail flush'—and Pa had talked to the men about a, religious silver mine he was selling stock in, which lie advised them as a friend to buy for the glory of the church, they all went in the back parlour, and the minister led in prayer. He got down on his knees right under the parrot's cage, and you'd a dide to see Polly hang on to the wires of the cage with one foot, and drop an apple core on the minister's head. Ma shook her handkerchief at Pollv. and looked sassy, and Polly got up on the perch, and as the minister got warmed UN and began to raise the roof, Polly said. '0, drv up.' The minister had his eyes shut, but he opened one of them a little r-nd looked at Pa. Pa was tickled at the parrot, but when ths minister looked at Pa as though it was him that was making irre- verent remarks, Pa was mad. The minister got to the 'Amen,' and Polly shook hisself and said 'what you giving us?* and the minister got up and brushed thi bird seed off his knees, and lie looked mad. I thought Ma would sink with mortification, and I was sitting on a piano st-ool, looking as pious as a. Sunday School superintended the Sunday before he skips out with the bank's funds; and Ma looked at nue ai though she thought it was me that ha.d been tampering with the parrot. Gosh, I nerei said a word to that parrot, and I can proy. it by my chum. "Well. the minister asked one of an sisters if she wouldn't Tmn-. and she wa-sn'1 engaged, so she said with pleasure, and sh< kneeled down. but she corked herself, "ca-usg she got one knee on a cast iron dumb beD that I had been practising with. She said, '0 my.' in a disgusted sort of a way, a.n¿ then she began to pray for the refonn&t.iot of the youth of the land, and asked for th< spirit to descend on the household, and parti ctrlarlv on the boy that was such a care uM anxietv to his parents, and just then Polli said. 0, pull down your vest.' Well, you'< a d'de to see that woman look at me. n4 parrot cage was partly behind the window curtain, and they couldn't, see it, and sh. thought it was me. She looked at Ma a though she was wondering why she dido* hi-t- me with a poker, but she went on. aw Pollv said 'wipe off your chin,' and thei the lady got through and got up,, and toll Ma it "must be a creat trial to have a.1 idiotic child, and then Ala we was mad and said it wasn't half so bad as it was t be a kleptomaniac, and then the woman go up and said she wouldn't stay no longer anj Pa said to me to take the parrot OUI doors, and that seamed to make them a1 good natured again. Ma said to take th parrot and give it to the poor. I took th cage and pointed my finger at the parrc and it looked at the woman and said 'ol catamaran,' and the woman trie to look pious and resigned. bi she couldn't. As I was going out tt door the parrot ruffed up his feathers an said, 'Dammit, set 'em up.' and I hurris out with the cage for fear lie would sa something bad, and the folks all held u their hands and said it was scandalous Say, I yvonder if a parrot can go to bell wit the rest of the community. Well. I pi the, parrot in the wood shed. and after the all had their innings, except Pa. who actf as umpire, the meeting broke up. and M says it's the last time she will have th< gang at her house." "That must have been where your Pa M his black eve." said the grocery man,, as charged the bunch of celery to the boy- Pa. "Did the minister hit him, or was one of the sisters?" "0, he didn't get his "black eve at pray, rreetmg!" said the boy. as he took h mittens off the stove and rubbed them 1 take the stiffening out. "It was from boxin (Continued in preceding column).
