Whaft scenes ;Iilave been most frequently de- picted' on catavas by la nidsca pe-painters ? Mr Dolman has cooi'sultedi a number of artists on the subject, and' hte tells in "Cassell's Magaainte" that fheiv replies lead1 to the conclusion1 tbwt Beittwsycoied oanne's easily first. Three intern- bers of the Royal Academy—Messrs MacWhir- tier, B. W. Leaider, and Peter Graham—testify in this sense, although the fame of neither off thwm is associated with North Walles. And in Mr Leader's opinion Bettwsvcoed well de- serves thi-s pre-emineace. "In all my travels," hie declared, "I have never foun'd a more beauti- ful spot for a landscape-painter than Bettwisy- ooedl" It was, of course, the gmt, David Oooc who gave the lifitle Welyh vDJage its painted I gliory. The tourist of to-day is no danger of forgefifing fhfs, for, as one wniter 'has remarked, in the nelghibouhirood of Bettwsyooed "the Very stones are chrLsibened after him." ThieI old Oak Inn, where Cox usually stayed, has been rebuilt and transformed infto am up-to-date •lnoteT, and in other ways the aspect of the village lias been somewhat changed. But they stiili treasure at this (hotel the. old signboard which was painted by Cox as a, token of esteem for lids hostess of the inn, the fresco wiitb which, he adornled one of its walls, and the visitors' book in which he signed1 hs namie om thie oc- casion of each vitwit. The visi)tor tcs eveni shown a. brush amd a palette which it ia satid) betkxngied to the great painter. The "Chestier Cbftoniole, reports' am extra- ordinary speech, made by Mr A. G. GrenMl, when pmposi'nig an alleged1 vote of thanks to a tempemnoe lecturer at a meeting of the Ghuroh of England Temperamce Society at Neston. Here is a specimen, of Mr Grenfe.'lV rerrnrk'; — "The C.E.T.S. is maimly composed of people who a-re not. a! -scrap better or more, in earnest their1 neighbours, and who only d'eceiive theim- felves and others by pnetendfeg a kaeeniMBs which does not exist. One would! have thought- that the inherent absurdity of the title of this Sociiety would have sufficed' to prevent ias im- posing oni amy but those eager to deceive them- selves or their critics; why not start, a Church of Engiaaid Toothhrosh Society? The same initials woula do. Exactly the same good1 would accrue. Eveiy decent man, isi temperate; every decent man uses a toothbruak Still be remembered that we have no quarrel with the moderate drinker who does not. pose as a preacher or am tenthiu'siast. It is only when we begrn to -,im-g,b-ymTi!&,and: talk about, C!bpigt, love -in, connetctionl with drink thtart we have the aright to expect rather more enthusiasm than is evi- ooncedl by attending the meetings, baited- with a, magic lantern or a troupe of nigger minstrels, of a society whose members are bound1 not to get dnmk I" There was much more in the wine stna.ni; and the speaker ended1 by expres- sing the hope that the C.E.T.S. would, be hooted into contempt.. The. "Qhircmiole" draws .3 discreet veil over Tyjbai followed.
