< HOW I DIED. I
< HOW I DIED. I T was very sick. I had laid for days that I teemed years upon the rack of such pain as j only strong men, suddenly broken upon the 1 wheel, may know. Every bone in my body, I every nerve, every minute gland of corporeal j tissues had been like electric wires and cells surcharged with ethereal agony. At last there had come a benumbed feeling that j thrilled like the vibration of harp strings suddenly stilled. I could hear the hum f voices like the far-off drone of bees, and the sound seemed soothing me into a strange peace. I was aware that somebody passed a light i before my eyes, and after repeating the j! action several times replaced the night lamp on the stand without the shade. I knew also that somebody stepped to the window and threw it wide open, while a voice, seemingly borne beyond the confines of II space and gathering force as it approached the boundaries of auricular demonstration until it boomed like the deep bass of the sea, uttered these words,— The poor fellow is going fast. Give his spirit a chance to free Icself. Do you beliefs in that old woman rot V asked another, and from the region of enchanted drowsiness where I seemed to  linger I caught myself listening for the third voice, which I seemed to know would speak next. And I did not listen in vain, for even while I struggled with the unseen forces that were hurrying me away a I woman's voice, clear and strong and sweet as the notes of a bell that was forever ringing in my ear, said— We believe in God's mercy, and we be- lieve that this poor pain-racked body is about to throw open the door by which the spirit goes free if a closed window hinder its going, we will throw every window in the old hospital as wide as the sky." I And give the rest of the poor devils in the ward a chance to catch a mortal chill," j responded the second voice. You are as consistent as the rest of your sex, Miss Brady." Whilst the echo of the head doctor's voice beat the air in circles of receding sound, I suddenly oeased to think, to hear, to feel, to be. And yet I was. I knew by some newly- developed sense that I lay mute and white upon the cot which had supported my body so long, and that the fragance of a prayer floated through the awful stillness of the room. It had no form nor sound, and yet something within me perceived it, as the languid senses perceive the fragrance of newly-mown hay upon a serene June morn- ing. A continuous pageant of the most seraphic j vision unfurled in endless progression before me. I saw the green hills of my childhood's home lift themselves like emerald bubbles in a haze of enchanted air. I saw the sapphire of the sea in a rim of violet dawns and daffodil noons. I saw the stretch of desert sands like drifts of snow within the compass of a lonely land. And in the midst of their bewildering vision I suddenly saw I a gleaming slab within a windowless room, where something long and white and still was lying. Drops of ice were forming on the edges of the slab, and a death-cold stream was purling across its shining sur- face. Something that was not a voice, and which made itself manifest to me through other channels than the ear, spoke lightly of the grave wherein I should soon lie. We will bury him to-night," it seemed I co say, H there will be no friends to inter- fere, and there are too many dying these few days past to keep 'stiffs' over half a I day." "But the law grants even a I stiff, its rights," responded the womanly voice I had ¡ learned to know, we have no right to bury him with such indecent haste." Rig°ht or no right, law or no law, he'll I have to get out of this to-night," replied the first voice. The contention had no effect upon the I something within my ice-bound frame which .still held its mysterious connection with sentient life. That filament, fine as the gossamer shred by which the spider binds together the, ether and the rose, seemed an electric wire charged with messages from an onseen world. I could hear the rise and fall of angelic choruses, like the dip of songful seas, and clear and sweet and distinct above chem all, 1 heard the woman's voice I learned irom out the cold em brace of death to note. He shall not be buried to-night, nor yet to-morrow, if that nush continues on his face." What flush are you talking about?" re- sponded the doctor, bringing the light he carried nearer the face that lay upon the marble slab, where the ice droos were form- ing, crystal by crystal, like the beads one threads upon a growing strand. "Why, the Hush we have both noticed since we stood here. I knew by the intent gaze you bestowed upon what generally de- mands but a passing glance, that you dis- covered it when you did, and I demand that the body be removed to the ward until we investigate the case." The flush is only the reflection of your red dress," laughed the doctor. You are wasting time," said the nurse. I shall call a stretcher to carry this living man out of the mortuary. Afterward we may resume our conversation." You shall do nothing of the sort, re- sumed the doctor, placing his hand as he spoke upon the outstretched arm of the nurse with compelling force. You have made a fool of yourself over this fellow from the first. Not a hanger-on in the ward but what noticed your interest in his handsome face. You are bound to me by ties you can- not break, and racher than see you under the enchantment of this fellow again I simply will smother the feeble pulse of life shafe lingers in his veins and make a surety of his death." You may be a villain, but you are not a toward. Doctor Ware," replied the woman, whose hand he still held. To refuse to give this man the chance to live would be the most despicaible act of your life, and, so help me God, I will denounce you as a murderer before the first justice I can find if you do not instantly summon assistance and remove this body from this place." Not so fast, my dear. Every moment's delay extinguishes more and more the chance for life, and if the attendants we shall summon find a dead man on the slab who will believe your hysterical story in the face of my statement that no life existed ? Women ncrses are not in favour just at present with the board they are too sensa- tional, too er.?otional, too indiscreet. Your bravado will eventuate only in your own disgrace. With the "bound of a cat the nurse, while he was yet speaking, broke from the doctor's detaining hold and reached the door. Quick is thought -she opened it and flew down the lon corridor. Shall thf? future eternities hold for me another m oment fraught with such pain as "•killed m v torturec1 li-nb^ when the doctor's xeiu iiiyboii unaole to move the lightest member or lift, by a single hair's weight, the closed lids. I felt his fingers press the delieate anatomy of my throat, and I knew that he was seeking to throttle the little life left m my body. Every drop of brood became a spear of flame to thrust my -quivering flesh, and the effort I made to -Iroan started what seemed to me to be Showers of hot blood from every pore. The sound of hurrying feet and clamouring voices stayed the doctor's hand before its iull purpose was accomplished, and raising simself from his sitting posture he greeted he new comers with a brisk,— Hurry up, boys I thought Miss Brady aad fallen asleep on the way. Lift -this bellow up quickly and carry him to the ward. 9e is good for a long lease of life yet." I never knew how the doctor and Miss Brady adjusted their quarrel. Both retained their respective positions for some time after my recovery to health and removal to a Western city, where a stroke of long delayed good luck re-knit the ravelled edge of my finances and placed me above want. Miss Brady finally resigned her position at aiy suggestion and joined me in my Western home as my beloved wife. Of the doctor's "Yell farings or ill farings we neither of us fcnew aught from that day onward and for- ever.

Then you shove it off on some other pas- senger ?': My conscience does not permit me to do that. I put it on the plate on Sunday." He Wanted to Celebrate. I Convivial PLirty Say, old boy, now that Cleve- land has appointed you postmaster, suppose you set up the beer. Jones My dear sir, Cleveland ha.s appointed another postmaster. I am defeated. Convivial Party You don't say so. Well, old fel, you want to drow.n your sorrow. More reason than ever that you should set up the beer. It doesn't make much difference to me who's post- master—it's the beer I'm after—let's celebrate, anyhow. She Couldn't Say. Areyoii a ;zood plain cook, -'slary ? asked the lady of the house of the tenth applicant for a posi- tion. Yes, 'um. Ate you a good laundress-?' Yes, 'utr." Are you quick with your work ? Can you clean with alacrity ?" Yes, I guess so," replied Mary, doubt- fully. Then in a burst of confidence she said, You see, mum, I don't know much about alac- rity. In me last place they always used sand and soaIJ for scouring and cleaning. I Couldn't Fool Him. I A farmer went into a store in Albany and asked the proprietor if he wanted to buy some fresh butter. The merchant told him that he would ask his wife if she needed any, so he stepped to the telephones, called up his wife, and talked to her a few seconds through the 'phone, then turning to the countryman, who was stand- ing with his hands in his pockets, his eyes stretched and his face very red, he told him that his wife would not need any butter. The indig- nant countryman blurted out,- Look here. mister if you didn't want any butter why didn't you say so ? I ain't such a got durned fool as to think that you've got your wife ) shut up in that little box." And he went out, leaving the merchant speechless. < A Happy Reoinder. I Colonel Stone, of Tennessee, when he was running for governor, met for the first time a delegate from one of the rural counties to bhe i State Convention. The Colonel said- I am glad to meet you. I have known your father for many years, but never had the pleasure of your acquaintance. I see, however, that the son is better looking than the fither." Look here, 'rolonel, said the delegate, "you need not be fettering me up, for I am out and out for Barksdale for governor, although the old man is for you." Why. I simply find you better looking than your father, but I did not say you had half as much sense as he has," returned the colonel." Those standing around roared with ?aughter, in which the delegate good-humouredly joined. A Cruel Joke. When Colonel Singleton was a. candidate for Congress from one of the hill districts of Arkan- saw, he had a rich experience. He soon became the butt of his opponents' jokes, and as there were ten aspirants for the position his life was an exaggerated burden. Once when the candi- dates, on horseback, were going to meet by ap- pointment in oratorical contest, Singleton fell behind, determining to no longer submit to their ra ilery. The party passed out of sight, leaving the disconsolate candidate to his own reflections. A slight rain had fallen, and when the party crossed a broad shallow creek, one young fellow conceived the idea of a joke. Suppose," said he, that we take off our S u p p o--e, 5?a I d be, coats and wait until Singleton comes in sight when we will put them on, giving to him the im- pression that the creek is deep. We'll not say anything to him and he will think that we want him to plunge into the water." The idea was acted on. Pretty soon Singleton came along. t That's all right," he yeHpd when be saw the men hurriedly putting on their coats. I under- stond you. Wane me to get wet, He dismounted, and although the day was fearfully cold he took off his clothes, mounted and carefully guiding the horse, he entered the stream. The water was not more than six inches deep, and when he perceived the cruel joke he stood up in his stirrups and began to swear, when his clothes fell into the water and began to floafc away. In attempting to reach over and regain them he feU and his horse, staggering, stepped on him. His rage was terrific, and when he arrayed himself in his garments he borrowed a gun all a neighbour- ing house, and chased his political opponents 15 miles, totally forgetting his appointment to speak.
iSingular Divorce Suit.
Singular Divorce Suit. A Bigamous Marriage. A divorce case remarkable in many respects was that) of Boyd v. Boyd and Wakeha.m which Sir Francis Jeune had before him yesterday morning. Mr Wm. Ray Arthur Boyd, a ship's engineer, of Middlesbrough, had a sorrowful tale to tell, and if Mr Wake- ham, the nominal co-respondent, had been in a position to relate the story of his matrimonial experience, ib would doubt- less have proved equally pitiful. Boyd, a well knit, smart, and seafaring looking man of 35 or so, told of the marriage at College- hill in July, 1885, and how it was he felt com- pelled to seek its dissolution. Before the story could be completed. Mr Searle, counsel for the petitioner, bad to make an explanation to the court exp!anatory cf the fact that this was the second petition presented with regard to this particular suit. Damages at were first sought from Mr Wakehatr., who keeps a commercial hotel in George-street, Liverpool, but when it wag ascer- tained that Wakehain had married Mrs Boyd on her representation that she was a widow, it was felt that the petition against him could not be sustained, and when it came before the court it was dismissed, Wakeham re- ceiving his costs. The petition was after- wards filed, which was now before the court. As the story was unfolded of how evidence was obtained necessary to satisfy the legal mind before dissolution of the marriage could be granted, it came out that Mr Wakeham dis- covered for the first time his wife was not his wife, while these in- quiries wera being made. The dis- covery, which was made a few days after Mr and Mrs" Wakeham had returned from the honeymoon at Colwyn Bay, was followed by a dramatic scene. Wakeham was overwhelmed with grief, and the woman who had "fascinated only to deceive him threatened to commit suicide, a razor and a bottle of laudanum having to be taken from her to prevent her effecting her pur- pose. From correspondence which had passed between the solicitors to the parties, it transpired that Mr Wakeban bad ceased to cohabit with the woman immediately on finding she was married to another, and had contemplated taking proceedings for bigamy until he was informed that divorce pro- ceedings had been set on foot on Boyd's behalf, wh teli," said the solicitors to Mr Wakehan, will suit our client just as well." A quantity of correspondence bearing on the evidence had, by an oversight, been left in Manchester, and the president, considering that this should be before the court, decided not to conclude the case.
II CHARGE AGAINST A LADY CRICKETER.
II CHARGE AGAINST A LADY CRICKETER. Eliza Haynes, aged 35, a married woman, living in Tooting, and said to be a member of the Lady Cricketers' team, was charged on remand yesterday at the South-western Police-court with obtaining several sums of money by ringing the changes. The evidence was that the prisoner was seen to go into sorre shops in Tooting Broadway and obtain goods. On receiving change for a half- crown, she slipped the shilling from one hand into another and then demanded another shilling. Police-constable Upfold followed and arrested her in the act.—A sentence of six weeks' imprison- ment was passed.

A NEW Krxo OF CREDITOR.—" My dear," said a lady to her husband, as she was looking over the newspaper, what are preferred creditors ?" —l: They are the-the-the creditors who never send in their bills.

Oh, I thought maybe it injured the health to go to bed directly after supper HE LOVED CHILDREN.—A man with three children entered a restaurant in a German town, and after they were all seated he said, "Now, children, are you hungry?" Yes." "Would you like some sausages?" Yes, yes. "Waitress, bang three sausages—two for myself —that makes five. Ah, I have forgotten the bread. Waitress, some bread. Now eat away." There was a solemn jingling of knives and forks, the sausages were demolished and the children's faces were all over smiles. "Enjoy it, eh ?" Yes. L ka some more sausages?" Yes, yes." Waitress, two or tnree more sausages." These, two, vanished. The guest ordered somo beer, having drunk which he took his hat and stick and said to the children, Now, you must be very good and quiet. I shall be back directly. I am only going to get some cigars," All right Five minutes passed, a quarter of an hour, half an hour. Then the landlord said to the children, Your father is a long time in coming." He is not our father. We were playing outside when the man came up to us and asked us if we would like some sausages. We all shouted Yes,' and then the man brought us in here. THE SLANDEREB PUNISHED.—An aged man ¡ appeared before the Cadi at Damascus. He was in much distress. What can I do for you this j morning!" asked the Cadi. Hassan, the rich merchant, has done my grand-daughter, Fatima, a grievous injury. She was engaged to be married to a young man whom she loved. She was as lovely as the rose, but Hassan spread evil reports about her, and he who was to have married her has abandoned her in consequence of these false reports. She is now broken in health and spirits, and longs tor death. Justice, oh, Cadi, let justice prevail!" The Cadi wrote out a capias, placed it in the hands of his deputy, and in a short time Hassan was brought "into court. He pleaded guilty. He admitted that he had spread the in- jurious reports and that he knew that they were false. He signed a complete retraction, in which he confessed that he was a liar and slan- derer. The court took the case under advisement. Next day the decision was rendered. Hassan, stand up," said the Cadi. Yon have done .this unfortunate girl a great injury. You have robbed her of her good name, which was all she had. The slightest punishment for robbery is the loss of your ears. The executioner will cut off your ears to remind you that you must not cut off the reputation of others." At a given signal the public executioner lopped off both of Hassan's ears. I am not done with you yet, Hassan," said the Cadi. Mercy mercy pleaded the unfortunate man, have I not restored the girl's reputation by my public retraction" "Yes, you have restored her reputation after a fashion, and now I propose to restore your ears after a fashion. The executioner will proceed to sew on your ears again." And it was done.
t CAERPHILLY CASTLE:
t CAERPHILLY CASTLE: All antiquaries in Wales, and, indeed, in the whole kingdom, will be pleased to hear that the Marquis of Bute has taken steps to preserve Caerphilly Castle from decay, which has been proceeding rapidly during late years, and thus rescue from early destruction a building so rich in historic associations. The old workhouse which was built under the outer walls has been removed, as well as the dwellings that had for centuries found shelterundertlie. eastern and southern walls. The old walls and lofty towers standingagainst the sky in their ancient grandeur have been divested of a good deal of the ivy so destructive to build- ings, and the loose and dangerous stones have been removed, the rugged edges being secured against the winter frosts by fillings of cement. The work is done in such a manner that the ruined edges of the walls do not present any patched appearance. The immense holes in the battlements, some of which are 20 feet through, are being filled in with stones that once belonged to them, but were taken to build the now demolished workhouse. In the work of preserva- tion on the eastern walls care has been taken to keep the sluice for the back-stream of the old mill within the castle walls. One may imagine the extent of the holes in these massive walls by learning that over a hundred tons of stones are required to fill each. Ib is also contemplated to rebuild the eastern entrance. The site of this entrance is now occupied by the Bethel Indepen- dent Chapel, which has been acquired by the marquis, with some adjoining cottages, and will be demolished. In addition to this, the several houses from the Queeu's Hotel to the bridge will be pulled down, and thus a splendid view of the grand old fortresses will be obtained from the town. The wall which now blocks the eastern gate will, of course, be removed, and thus a most interesting feature of the castle will be opened. A model of the original castle is in the possession of Lord Bute, and was exhibited at the castle during the visit of the Naval Architects. The immense buttresses of the eastern walls, which are in a very dilapidated condition at the base, are now in process of restoration, and' the work which has so far been accomplished makes a vast improvement.
TAFFVALE RAILWAY TRAFFIC.I
TAFFVALE RAILWAY TRAFFIC. I I Serious Complaints. A correspondent states :-The paragraph which appeared in your issue a day er two age concern- ing the traffic on the Taff Vale Railway is mis. leading. As one whu has to deal with a very large amount of traffic to Cardiff and Barry, I can only state that our experiences of the past week or two have been such that it was in serious contemplation last week to arrange a deputation to wait upon the manager and, if needful, approach the directors, and lay before them a few plain facts. Instead of having coal down from the collieries in a few hours there have been delays of 12, 20, and even 24 hours and, speak- ing personally, this has been a most senous matter, because our firm has bad to buy coal for delivery simply because we have not been able to have the use of our own trucks to bring the coal from our own collieries. The information for- warded you is contrary to fact; and if you will pursue inquiries on the 'Change or at the docks amongst; th- e larger shippers, you cannot fail to get ample confirmation of my statement that the condition of affairs, although they have materially improved this week (doubtless owing to the per- sistent representations from several large offices) were during the litt,4t, week or two of a most un- satisfactory character. Ollr original information as to the despatch of traffic on the Taff line came from the very highest authority, and was published as received.
I ELOPEMENT OF A NUN. J
ELOPEMENT OF A NUN. J BUDAPEST, Friday.—A youthful nun, named Viola de Mathey, has succeeded in escaping from the Convent of St. Vincent de Paul, in Budapest, under very romantic circumstances. She entered the convent six years ago, and in consequence of her extremely attractive appearance was always known as "Beautiful Viola." While the nuns were attsnding church yesterday morning she affected to be unwell, and, accompanied by a novioe, left the building, in order, as she said, to return to the convent. On reaching the street, Fraulein Viola de Mathey took a holy picture from her bosom and pressed it into the hand of the novice. She then hurried forward to join a young man who was waiting for her, and dis- appeared with him. In the course of the after- noon a letter of farewell was received by the Mother Superior from Fraulein de Mathey, in which the latter said she had not found at the convent the happiness she desired. -Reuter.

STRANGE STORY FROM THE RHONDDA.1
STRANGE STORY FROM THE RHONDDA. 1 A Haunted Cottage. I -6 LANDLADY CARRIED OFF BY A GHOST. Excitement at Llwynypiac I EXTRAORDINARY SCENES, I Great excitement has prevailed during the past few days at Llwynypia and the adjacent districts in consequence of startling allegations made by Mr John Dunn and his wife, who reside at 8, Amelia-terrace, Llwynypia, and also by several neighbours. These persons state that for several nights past hideous apparitions have been wit- nessed, and unaccountable peculiar noises heard, in the bedrooms and other parts of the cottage. The premises have been visited by hundreds of persons during the past two or three days, and watched by Sergeant Hayle, P.C. Pearce, and the other constables for hours in the evening, but nothing unusual has been discovered by them. On Thursday evening a well-known quoiter and a number of footballers stood for some time in front of the cottage, eagerly waiting the appear- ance of the ghost, and it is stated that the bravest of the football men was suddenly startled by an alleged supernatural visitant. Our representative, accompanied by Mr Tom John, schoolmaster, called upon Mrs Dunn yesterday afternoon to receive her own version of the affair. The house is a four-roomed one with a pantry adjoining one of the rooms near the back door. As we paced along the terrace (writes our representative), consisting of about 20 houses, situated on the mountain side, men and women were standing on the thresholds dis- cussing the matter. We entered the cottage and found Mrs Dunn standing by a tut3 upon a chair washing some wearing apparel. Is this the house where the ghost has been causing disturbance ?" I asked. Yes, sir teke a chair, gentlemen, if you please. Mr John, who is the Welsh representative on the executive committee of the National Union of Teachers, and myself seated ourselves imme- diately at her request, and then she unfolded her strange story. "On Wednesday evening, about nine o'clock," she broke forth, in a somewhat low voice, I was standing near the pantry door, and suddenly the back door opened, and a tall apparition robed in white appeared close by me right before my eyes. I shrieked, and instantly it stretched forth both arms and clutched me tightly. There was no one in the house besides myself at the time. I lost my senses, and found myself shortly afterwards in an outhouse. The ghost told me there that he was going to take me away with him. I was dumb, could not utter a word for some time. There he kept me, holding me upon the wooden seat, and telling me in Welsh to raise a brick for him. I could not do so. The scones and the few bricks moved, and a rattle was heard by me. Then I was lifted up bodily and taken out and raised up into the air, and I lost my senses ag'ain. Afterwards, when I came to myself I found myself by the brink of a pond lower down on the hill-side, and he threatened to chuck me into the water and drown me. In taking me there the ghost bad to lift me over a fence seven feet high." Was the ghost still talking in Welsh ? Oh, yes and he also talked to me in English, but I spoke to him in Welsh." What were the words in Welsh ? Mae rhaid i ti ddyfod gyda mi." At this stage of our conversation two or three of the neighbours entered the kitchen where we were seated, and they enlivened the proceedings by narrating what they had heard and seen in and about the premises. Mrs Dunn, resuming her tale, said, "This house has been troubled by the ghost for nearly seven months off and on, but it is during the past few days that we have been, greatly dis- turbed. How was he attired ?" One of the neighbours standing close by Mr John and myself interjected excitedly He had a pair of moleskin trousers on, I think, and a white sheet over his shoulders." It was not a man, was it 5" No, because he vanished into air all at once, and then appeared before our very eyes and went off again. Here, this little girl has seen him many times (pointing to a girl about 16 years of age standing near). She can tell more than we can. Mrs Dunn looked quite pale, but did not appear to be suffering from any sort of mental aberration. Proceeding with her account of the strange affair, she said, Men living in this locality have been sleeping in turns upstairs for days past for the purpose of getting to the bottom of the matter. They hear the latch rattl. ing and rapping on the doors and noise like shuffling of feet and the clatter of crockery, and other noises, and they can't see anything." Mr John put several questions to her, and in reply she stated that the ghost had told her she would have peace in future, and that he would not torment her again. She received that ghostly assurance, according to her statement to Mr John, on the preceding night. Another of the neighbours who had patiently listened to all this, observed that she had also seen a shadow of the ghost on the wall opposite her house, and she thought the ghost was wearing corduroy breeches. She said that a Christian young man," and very religious, was one of the men who were sitting up in turns all night in the house, and he had experienced the very same thing as they and Mrs Dunn had. Jack," the husband, who was a native of Somersetshire, was also troubled by the spectre, and he sincerely believed it was a ghost. The pond has been visited by hundreds of people during the past day or two, and they all marvel at the strength of the goblin" in lifting or conveying the landlady over the high fence. What's the cause of the appearance of the ghost, or why does he trouble you more than the neighbours?" asked our representative. Well, I don't know," replied Mrs Dunn. An old man was taken to the asylum from here many years ago," broke forth one of the neighbours, and he wore ribbed trousers and moleskin trousers sometimes, and I think his spirit has returned to look for a bag of gold which, it is said, he left behind. A lot of people have been searching the place for money yesterday. P.C. Pearce, Llwynypia, stated that the pond to the brink of which the ghost carried Mrs Dunn is about 300 yards away from the cottage. He had been telling Jack," the husband, that the noise be heard in the house at night was not prodnced by a ghost, but it was no use arguing with Jack," because it only drove him out of temper. The delusion had stuck in "Jack's" mind, and also in his wife's and neighbours' brains. A very large number of people had visited the premises, and remained outside the house until a late hour in the evening. Dr. Jennings had also visited the premises, and described the whole affair, according to P.C. Pearce, as a pack of nonsense. But the matter is, nevertheless, the topic of the day in the district, and has caused a great sensation among the residents. I

The Organisation of Welsh…
The Organisation of Welsh Miners. BY MABON, M.P. FROM THE CARDIFF TIMES AND SOUTH WALES WEEKLY NEWS." We are confident that the most thoughtful minds among the miners of South Wales and Monmouthshire are watching the gradual but sure final state of demoralisation that organisa- tion in their midst is coming to, and with deep regret witness the seemingly utter indifference manifested by such a vast number of the work- men themselves with regard to it. It is quite evident that some step should be taken to check the evils that are fast accruing from the present insane efforts to form sectional organisations among the men. It will, as sure as the night follows the day, befound that this state of things, if allowed to continue, will bring about degrada- tion and misery to thousands of workmen. It is they who, unfortunately, will ultimately feel the results of this insane policy. We rightly said last week we thought that our local Unions needed con- solidation, &c., but we now find that in one way or another we are getting further and further from one another; new Unions under various pretences are being got up, and are daily deepen- ing the chasm and widening the gulf between us. Not many months ago the Local and District Unions of Monmouthshire and South Wales were amalgamated together, to the tune of between 30,000 and 40,000 members. Since then, in the name of union and organisation, the seed of dis- cord, disunion, and disintegration, in the shape of exciting prejudice against that which did exist, were sown, with the result that a number of our local branches and Unions, here and there, cut loose their district connections, lost their working committees, and became thoroughly demoralised those that had such a wonderful power of destruction failing to build up but the remotest semblance of organisation instead. And what was put up in the places they were, the late strike completely cast asunder, with the result that we are beginning anew with, at least, four kinds of organisations. We have still with us, as Union men, in a great majority the Sliding-scalists, who are to-day, as regards an amalgama- tion with the English miners (under the flag of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain) in exactly the same position as they were when that Federation held its conference at Newport in 1889. There is not the slightest doubt that if the Federation would only grant Home Rule-to use a political phrase—upon the wage question to the South Wales men, the latter, in our opinion, would not hesitate to join with them in a national organisation. As things are it would be impossible for any conscientious and scrupulous leader that understands anything of the differential character of the trades of the various districts, and also the geographical differences of the districts, to ever recommend the miners of Wales to join the Federation, gigantic as it may be, under any other conditions. Let there be no mistake about it, such a proposal has been made to the Federation but they refused to join hands on such conditions. If they accepted it, there can be little doubt but what tranquillity and good fellowship would again dwell amongst the miners of South Wales. If the Federation continues to reject it we, according to the existing state of, things, see no hope of anything but con- tinuing discord and unpleasantness in our midst. Federationists say that they will continue to fight on till they have a majority of the miners of Wales in their favour. But sup- posing that some time or other the consummation of that desire is arrived at, and that this minority follow their present example and continue the fight, we would be none the wiser, for strife and contention would then, as now, be rampant, dis- cord and disunion prevalent, and the neglect of the men's best and most important interests the inevitable result. So the sooner the better is it thoroughly understood that on that one condition, and that alone, are the advocates of the eliding- scale prepared to cut in their lot with the Federation so as to form what we see no reason should nob then be a thoroughly national organisation. The Federationists we all know; and the tenacity with which the majority of them hold to their own opinion as to the superiority of their modes and methods of regulating wages over ours is evidently felt, notwithstanding the unintelli- gible fact that it has taken three years for some of them to deny the assertion that their policy is that prices "should be regulated by wages and not wages by prices t" The Rockingstonians we also know. It could scarcely be otherwise, since they commenced their official career with the weight of a resolution, much heavier than the Rocking Stone itself, around their necks. These people, it will be remembered, in their inaugurating proceedings, initiated the policy of victimising the people for daring to hold opinions of their own, thus forming a precedent, and an example, that would make feasible all-round victimisation and persecution wherever any body of men differ in opinions from any other body that wields superior powers. Let us hope, hpwever, that that resolution was the outcome of the unpremeditated thoughts of an initiated and disappointed crowd only, and not the result of stubborn prejudicial mind of any thinking man. If it is the former it will soon die out, and be reckoned as one of the acci- dental unpremeditated follies of the late strike. If the latter, it will carry with it that cankerworm that never* dies, but will in the end do its perpetrators infinitely more harm than those whom it was intended for. And yet it is really amazing how anything when so ill-conceived is followed up by a repeti- tion of mistakes. We are now assured that the Rockingstonians, whether connived at in this matter by their parent, the Federation, or not, are promising salvation by advocating the mis- taken policy of separate Unions among bodies of men working at the same collieries. We have it on the most undisputed authority that they are now endeavouring to get that portion of the men—hauliers, shacklers, hitchers, &o., &c.—who are engaged in the transit of the coals from the working faces to the trucks at our collieries-into a Union of their own, independent of the other bodies of men working at the same collieries. Here then at once is a bold but very dangerous stroke of policy, and one which, when led by any bold and unscrupulous man, may any day lead to mischief and misery, This kind of policy is undoubtedly calculated upon to benefit the man concerned. But we may say at once that we doubt very much whether it will ever bring about any such result and, to the contrary, whether such a policy, if followed suit upon, would not end in chaos, and the complete demoralisation of the men themselves, and the consequent ruin of their cause that would follow. In the interim, however, it may be depended upon that the war would be with the strong and the race with the swift." Hence we may be pardoned here for venturing to give a word of advice upon this matter, especially seeing that the great majority of those affected are our young men, the hauliers, and consequently more easily gulled by the fair promises of the "tempter." The shackler, the hitcher, and the master haulier, as a rule, are engaged in special work, command special rates of wages, and can well be allowed to look after themselves, their principal obligation and necessity being fidelity to the general body. It is different with the haulier. The haulier needs a better standard rate of wages but incompatible with that he also needs to have his earnings dependent upon a standing wage and not upon extras, etc. With your permission, sir, we will return to thie point next week. Will you kindly allow me to correct one or two printer's errors that took place in our article of last week. The phrase "Stirring trades union," in the 35th and 36th lines, should read studying trades union;" and the phrase "conciliation and compromise is their excuse," in lines 82 and 83, should read-" conciliation and compromise is their creed and arbitration their cardinal prin. ciple."

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AT I…
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AT I LLANDILO. The Farm Girl and the Blacksmith. I At the Llandilo County-court yesterday-before Judge Bishop-Elizabeth Morgans, farm servant, Penygroes, Manordilo, sought to recover from Wm. Williams, blacksmith, Tanyrcefn, Llandilo, the sum of JE50, being damages for an assault, said to have been committed upon her by the defendant on the 14th February last. Mr T. G. I Williams was for the plaintiff, and Mr J. W. I Nicholas for the defendant. A jury having been empanelled, the plaintiff was called.—She said she lived with her father at Glascoed, and unfortunately she got into trouble through defendant's son. On the above day she went to consult him about something, when she was confronted by his father, and told to deliver her message to him. When she refused, he pushed her about and hurt her very much; in fact, he pushed her until she fell to the ground, and then dragged her along to the smithy. On getting to Swansea she had a miscarriage at least, that was what a doctor of that town thought. She suffered much pain after the assault. The birth had been expected in May.—Mr Nicholas: You have told us how many children you had in this country? How many bad you in America?— Plaintiff: None. I had no time for courtship there. (Great laughter, in which the judge heartily joined.) David Davies, L!wynpiod, heard an altercation between defendant and plaintiff. Cross-examined: She was cursing, and wanting to get at the son; but this the defendant hindered. William Williams, son of the defendant, could not say whether his father assaulted plaintiff, although he (witness) was hard by cutting some hay at the time.—Mr Williams asked defendant if plaintiff was enceinte through him at the time?—His Honour intimated that witness need not notice such a question. He might incriminate himself and injure his defence if bastardy proceedings should be taken.—Mr Williams: I submit, sir, that it is not part of a judge's duty to tell a witness not to answer a question which is vital to my case.—His Honour I don't say it is; but I take it upon myself as a duty just now to tell him not to answer. It is wasting time, and I ask you not to go into the question.-Mr Williams Well, I will put it to the jury, and ask them to draw their own conclusions. —His Honour I shall say that the jury will be doing wrong if they do so in fact, I shall not allow the question to be put. (Applause.) I must also say that it is most unusual to make remarks that judges interfere improperly.—Mr Williams Do I understand that you make that ruling because of the observation I made?—His Honour I say nothing of the kind. I say it is not relevant to the issue.—Mary Evans, servant of the defendant, saw the plaintiff fall, but it was through no fault of the defendant.—Mr Nicholas, addressing the jury, said his client was held high in the estimate of all the magistrates of the court, and held a high position in a chapel.—His Honour Do you intend to call all those magis- trates ? (A laugh).—Mr Nicholas gave a negative reply, but said he wished to impress the matter of good character upon the jury.—Mr Williams said the assault was undenied. The jury would not for a moment believe that plaintiff would be such a fatuous imbecile as to fall back of her own accord, as had been alleged.—The jury found a verdict for the defendant, and his Honour accord- ingly certified with costs.
SHOCKING DISCOVERY IN DEAN…
SHOCKING DISCOVERY IN DEAN FOREST. Information reached Mr M. F. Carter, coroner for the Forest of Dean division of Gloucestershire, of the discovery, yesterday morning, of the body of a boy lying on the cinder tip at the iron furnace of Messrs Henry Crawshay and Com- pany at Cinderford. It appears that a iittle after midnight on Thursday, Arthur Lewis, who was engaged tipping the cinders from the furnace, smelt something burning on the tip. Having called Sidney Turner, the two began a search, and about half-way down the tip they discovered the body of a boy. The remains were charred to a terrible extent. The body proved to be that of a lad named Walter Wynman, nine years of age, son of Matthew Wynman, a Cmderford Bridge marine store dealer. Deceased left home on Thursday at eight o'clock to attend Bilson Board School, and was not seen at home again alive. He was in the habit of sleeping out at night, and had done so recently. The lad unfortunately was a fractious character, and on the 29th September the magistrates at Littledean ordered him to be sent to a reformatory.

THE AGE OF MIRACLES IS NOT YET PASSED Carefully read the following :— The Proprietor York Hotel, Off Custom House-street. Cardiff, Oct. 10, 1895. Gentlemen,—I feel bound to acquaint you with a miraculous cure that Dr. Hall's Remedy has effected. For four years I suffered from strumous ulcerated rectum, and although I tried six medical men (one of whom being a leading authority on diseases of the rectum), they failed to effect a cure, but each tried a. different torture, and at last a well-known Bristol physician said that nothing but an operation would cure me, which I had partly arranged to undergo at a cost of £50! when a fnend advised me to try your remedy, which, strange to relate, within a month com- pletely cured me. Under medical treatment my life was a continuous torture owing to the burning applica- tions and loss of sleep. Since adopting your remedy our family complaint (headache) has left me, and I have no occasion to take medicine or aperientaf any kind. I must strongly impress upon you the necessity of scattering broadcast the knowledge of your simnle but yet marvellous remedy, because it is acgravatine I to think that probably half the people ofthis world are suffering from complaints that could easily aad cheaply be cured by that knowledge.—Youwfaithfollv To Dr. Hall. W. BEN GRIFFITHS. Shute, 40, Clifton-street, Roath, Cardie.—HI 12 Shntwe, ith asthma cured in one month.—See both years men. Try the new Doctor before going elsewhere a cer- tain cure.
