^ ftiterauue*
ftiterauue* The Christian World Magazine and Family Visi- tor, edited by Emma Jane W orlloise, vol. xx., June, 1884. This excellent monthly still holds its own amidst its numerous competitors, and is now in its twentieth year. The present number contains Fortune's Favourite," chapter xi and xii, by the Editor, whose writings have attained a world-wide renown John Ruskin-a modern prophet," an exeellent article by Marie Compstou; "On this side Heaven," by Beatrice Bristowe an exceedingly interesting paper ou "The Princess Alice The Independent Jacobite Parson," by Mr J. Ewing Ritchie Gone Before," by Mrs Haycraft Music," by Lucy Warden Beame; and the second of a series of articles on The Gipsies in England," by the Rev R. S. Short, to which a local interest attaches, inasmuch as the writer has long been a contributor to the columns of the Aberystwyth Observer. The present chapter describes fortune telling among the gipsies, and contains allusions to Mr C. Ley laud and ilie Ltte lamented Professor E. H. Palmer, both of whom were well known in Aber- ystwyth. Where to take a Holiday.—Messrs Smith, Elder and Co., London,have published a holiday number of the London Medical Record, in which they give reports on some home and foreign heahh resorts. Among numerous other towns it says of Aber- ystwyth, the climate is very invigorating, es- peeially to those suffering from overwork The winter temperature is very equable, being eight degrees milder that Cheltenham. The beach is about a mile in extent at low water, and is composed of pebbles it gradually slopes off to deep water, and is consequently very safe for bathing pur- poses." It is a most useful work for those in search of health resorts. Messrs Cassell and Co. have just issued another volume of Little Folks, which will indeed prove very welcome to young readers. It is nicely bound, while the contents afford delightful reading for children of all ages.

OBITUARY.—We regret to announce the rather sudden death of Mr John Seth Evans, the master of the Aberayron Union Workhouse, which occurred on Tuesday last. He was generally respected, and in. variably performed the duties of his office in a credit- able and satisfactory manner. He leaves a widow and a large family, for whom much sympathy is felt. COUHTY CorM.—The hea iest court that we have- had for many years occurred last Tuesday. Mr A. J. Hughes, soli- citor, was engaged in no less than 14 contend cases. About 50 jurors had been summoned and it was generally remarked that great care had been taken to get pertons who could understand English. If this was done at the quarter sessions there would be less complaints about miscarriage of justice. The chief case of inte:est was in a cate called Davies V. Jones, from Llanons The interest was made evident to everyone by the LlanonhtDS coming down en mas.ie. The t articu.ars of the case were as follows;—Captain Jenkin Jones, of the "Bodotrice," Llanon, a well-known gentlem. ao.eng sea-faring men, owned a pillce of land on Morfa-yr-Y.-j.ob. Being an invalid for many yeard before hi. death he took up his abode with his niece, Mrs Jones, Rosland, Llauon, and it, November, 1881, lie executed a deed of gift of this plut uf land to Mr. Jones, After his death, which took place about 15 months ago, his brother, Mr John Jones, clerk of the Guardian., Aberayron, took possession of this land as heir-at-law, and this action was for the ejectment of Mr Jones by Mrs Jones' father (Capt. Jone.), her trustee. Mr D. Long Price appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr T. Jones, Llandovery, for the uelendant. Mr D. Long Price, addressing the judge, said I am happy to inform you that this case is at an end by the defendant givi.g up possetision and paying a fixed sum for costs. I feel that I am obliged to refer to it ill open court in consequence of the nature of the defence, viz., the mental insapacity of the granter, Mr Jenkin Jones, to execute the deed. This deed was prepared by MrA J. Hughet, and witnessed by him, and if such an allegation was true he would be unworthy of his profession in preparing it. He had also Dr Harries, of Aberystwyth, a most eminent man in his profession, who had attended him, and the Rev Evan Merritf, altogether 15 most Ttspectabte witnesses to prove quite to the contrary. However, it was now all over. Mr T. Junes, Llan- dovery, said I arrived in Aberystwyth yeaterday. I have ex- amined the witnesses for the defendant, and many of them ad- duce evidence of great eccentricities on the part of Mr Jenkin Jones, but between eccentricity and mental incapacity there is a great difference, and 1 have been obliged to advice my client that he has no case. Four cases were referred to different parties. The court rase at four o'clock. HOLLOW AY'S PILLS.—Indigestion and Liver Com- pl-intij. The digestion cannot be long or teriomty disoidered without the derangement being perceptible oa the countenance. These Pills prevent butb unpleasant consequences; they im- prove the appetite, and with tiieincrease of desire for food, they augment the powers of digestion and assimilation in the stomach. Holloway's P lis deal most satisfactorily with de- ranged or diseased conditions of the taany org.ns engaged in extracting nourishment for our bodies fioin our variaus dieti- as the liver, stomach and bowels, over all of which they exer cise the most salutary cun.rol. By resorting at an early s age of this malady to these purifying and lasative Pills, the drOl- peptic is speedily resit-red to health and strength, aud his sal- low ness gradually vanishes. THROAT IRRITATION AND CouaH.—Soreness and dryness, tickling and irrigation, inducing cough and attectiag the voice. For these symptoms use Epps'sulycerine Jujubes. In con- tact with the glands at the moment they are excited by the act of sucking, the Glycerine in these agreeable confections becomes actively healing. Sold only in boxes, 74d., tins, Ii. l$d., labelled J A VKX Errs Sc Co., Homoeopathic Chemists, Lon- don." Dr George Moore, in bi4 work on Nose and Throat Diseases,"says; "The Glycerine Jujubes prepared by James Epps and Co., are of undoubted service as a curative or pa li- ative agent." While Dr Gerdon Holmes, Senior Physician to the Municipal Throat and Ear Infirmary, writes: "After an ex- tended trial, I have found your Glycerine Jujubes of consider- able benefit (with or without medioal treataent) in almost all forms of throat disease."
ST. DAVID'S COLLEGE, LAMPETER
ST. DAVID'S COLLEGE, LAMPETER DEGREE DAY. SPEECH BY THE REV PRINCIPAL JAYNE. Degree day in connection with this College was held on Thursday, and was attehdrd with a con- siderable amount of ceremony. During the last term there have been 110 students in residence; 115 presented themselves for examination, but four were non-matriculated students, attempting the first examination without residence. As to the col- lege buildings, several improvements have been made during the past year, the chemical laborut ■ } having been improved, and water under pressure laid on throughout it and tbe science lecturt i-oo as well as over t'te buildings also three spacious and well-ventilated class-rooms have been con- structed in the grounds for the use of the college school and the junior department, in addition to which the College beard has leased several hous* s iu Station Terrace, and has converted them into hotels, on the plan recommended by the Depart- mental Commissiou. Boys are lodged in these houses at a charge, including attendance, lights, and fire, of 3s. per wtek, supplying their own food, which is cooked for them without extra charge or they can be boarded as well at an inclusive charge of 121 per week. It will be obvious that this plan combines economy, with freedom from the disciplinary difficulties to which the lodging-out system was subject. There were 37 in the junior department last term, making a total of 147 persons under instruction at St. David's College. This department is under the charge of Mr J. J. Lloyd William-, M.A., assisted by Messrs John Williams and T. M. Evans, historical scholar of St. David's College, and lectures are given to those who can profit by them by some of the College professors. The junior department prepares, not only for the College and for Oxford and Cambridge (through affiliation), but also for entrance into the army, legal and medical professions, civil service, banks, and higher branches of trade in general. The responsions of Lampeter is accepted, in lieu of the preliminary medical examination, and preparation for the former is given in the college school. Special instru- tion in chemistry and physical science, including laboratory practice, will be given to student-) taking this course. It may be of interest to remark that one member of the College, who has just passed moderation, after one year's residence, is about to avail himself of the legal privilege conferred on St. David's College, under the powers contained in the Solicitors' Act, 1877, and will be exempted from the preliminary law examination, and one year out of five of articled service. Another feature in the examination is the circumstance that a former graduate, the Rev. A. G. Lewis, B A., who graduated in 1870 in classical honours, has returned from India to take the degree of Bachelor in Divinity. Mr Lewis was a Military Chaplain in the British Army at Queita during the occupation of the Bolan Pasil, a few years since. Three former members of the College are at present at Oxford, having availed themselves of the privileges of affiliation. The Rev John Eales, B.A., is at Cambridge as the first affiliated student from St. David's College, the privilege having been granted by the University of Cambridge more recently than by Oxford. An affiliation exhibition fund of .£50 per annum has been formed by contributions from the Earl of Cawdor and Mr J. T. D. Llewelyn, Pen- lle'rgare. A new gymnasium and fives-court, long needed by the College, is now in course of con- struction. This is due to a handsome contribution given by the Duke of Westminster. An exhibition fund, nearly JE60 per annum, to help boys from the primary schools into the junior department, has been foruued by residents of Lampeter and the neighbourhood aad a fund of nearly zCI,000 has been contributed by friends of the institution for general purposes. A handsome grant of books has also been made to the library by the delegates of the Clarendon Press, at Oxford, including many valu- able works in history and science. On Thursday morning, a procession was formed in the quadrangle of the College, which proceeded to the Town Hall, where the ceremony of conferring degrees was this year held. The following was the order of the processien, those forming it marching two abreast:— The School. The Students. The Scholars. Beadle. B.A.'s Designate. B.A's. B.D.'s Designate. B.D.'s. Mayor of Carmarthen (in official robes). Graduate Visiters. Incorporated Members. Archdeacons of Carmarthen and Llandaff. The Examiners. College Staff. The Principal. Visitor and Sub-Visitor. Chaplains—Rev W ynBe Jones and Rev T. R. Walters. The company at the hall was a large and brilliant one, and included Colonel Lewes, Mrs and the Misses Lewes, Llanllear; Mr J. C. Harford, Falcondalo, and party; Mr Charles Lloyd, Waunifor, and party Mr and Mrs Jones, Glandennis Mrs Vaughan Pryse, Bwlchbychan, and party Mr J. C. Pryse, Bwlch- bychan; Mr J. E. Rogers, Abermeurig Mr and Mrs Mathuen, Bwynant, and party Mr R. D. Jenkins Caedigan; Mr J. M. Davies, Froodvale; Canon Lewis' St David's, Mr Gwynnnet Tyler and party, Mount Guernos; Mr T. H. Maddy, Aberayron; Lieut. Lewis, Abermeurig; Mr J. Jenkyn Jones, mayor of Car- marthen. The Rev Principal Jayn", who was warmly ap. plauded, said the first words on such an occasion as that must naturally be words of gratitude and of welcome. They had in the first place to thank Mr and Mrs Harford for their renewed kindness in al- lowing them the use of this Town Hatt (applause). They had then to thank all those who had oome that day to support and encourage them by their presence-to thank and to welcome them. He welcomed those of all ranks, and if he did not specify more particularly they must excuse him upon the score of time. Bat there were some new faces- representatives of new parts of the world and new institutions, to whom he might be permitted to call special attention. They were indebted to their visitor not only for his own presence, but for the presence of one of their sub-visitors, whose life and labours were largely spent in two great extremities of Wales, bat who now paid his first visit to the centre of Wales. The visitor had brought with him the Lord Bishop of Bangor—(applause)—as a captive, but he (the speaker) believed he might say that he was a willing and certainly a most welcome captive and guest (applause). The Bi.hop of Bangor was the last person who would permit him to presume to say words of praise in his presence, but at least he might be allowed to say that it was a pleasant recollection of many years past that as a boy one heard of the great town of Merthyr, in those days at least, being under the care of a true pastor (applause). That was his first visitlto them, and as sub-visitor of Lampeter he hoped that it would not be his last; but they were reasonable persons, and were aware that bishops could not often be found moving out-side the sphere of their natural labours. They had hoped to welcome there that day the heads of the new Welsh Colleges—Cardiff and Bangor. The prin- cIpal of Bangor was one of their examiners anfi j v*a':)8ence w^s most reluctant, but business called him to Bangor on Wednesday and to London tu i (^kufsday), so that it was hardly possible that he could interpolate a visit to Lampeter. He regretted hia absence as the representative of an in. stitution which they were glad to look upon with generous sympathy, but he was represented there that day by a man in whose career Wales ought and did take a great interest-Professor Henry Jones (applause). Then the principal of Cardiff College had also accepted their invitation, and they had every hopetowelconiehim,butitwas with sorrow that he had ^he intelligence that he was suffering from ill-health; but he was also represented by three of his colleagues, and most gladly did they see them there that day. The experience of life on a large &calefas well as on a small scale,showed that thecaore persons knew one another, the more they were brought together in social and personal contact, the greater was the desire to understand and work with one another, and whatever dimcult.ea there were in the present or future they knew that these representatives of the new colleges would be always at one with themselves,and that was no small nucleus to combina- tion and co-operation (applause). To pass from persons present he might perhaps venture to allude to some who were not there. They felt the absence that day for the first time for about 20 years of their admirable friend the Archdeacon of St David's. He had been doing the college such loyal service, and had given them so much of his time already this term that he (the speaker) did not feel justified in pressing him to come, as hia feelings coMtraiMd him to do. Then again there was absent for the first time since he had been at Llandovery their friend the Wurdes of Llandovery. They all deeply regretted the combina- tion of sorrows which necessitated his absence, but he could not pass on without paying a small tribute of respect to one to whom Wales owed much and from whom as he issued forth from this terrible furnace of trial Wales might in future, under God, expect much more. He then alluded to the schoolmasters of Wales, some of whom were present. They were particularly happy in having representatives of all grades of education. They had the principal of the Carmarthen training college, where the funda mental principles of education were taught, and without which all the rest of them would be poor. Then there were some who had returned to them, and he might specially allude to his former colleagues-Canon Williams, Prebendary Mathews, and Mr Lias (applause), the latter of whom had been winning new laurels. And now, in the name of the visitor, they as the college board, welcomed all for their kindly and sustaining presence there that day. This was an epoch of con- ferences not only were the continents of Europe and Africa. agitated by measures and contentions, but it had extended to their own Principality. He believed that wholesome results sooner or later would issue from these agitations and movements. They would permit him to speak plainly on this point. They were aware that Mr Rathbone, in whose mind education had a largely sympathetic and generous share, had been working for some time,and had shewn his loyalty to education by his personal efforts and liberality. He had proposed Poing upon the lines of the Welsh Education Commission, that a conference to consider the permanent educational wants of Wales should be held between the representatives of, he might per- haps call them, the four Welsh university colleges. Difficulites :had arisen, and he need not say upon this head that they at Lampeter were most anxious to co-operate with and help forward,not looking either to the right hand or to the left hand in any spirit of jealousy or exclusiveness, the extension and develop- ment of higher and intermediate education in Wales (applause). But on the other hand they were by no means eager or anxious to take part in the proposed conference. They believed on the one hand that it was wisdom to be frank, open-handed, co-operate if necessary, on the other hand they were ready to stand aloof and bide their time (applause). The question of a charter degree granting power must sooner or later come under consideration, and their best hope and wish would be-and their visitor agreed with him in expressing the hope, for he had set his seal to it- that their degree granting power should be extended to enable them to work tin fair terms with the three new (or in one case continued and developed) univer- sity colleges in Wales (applause). That was their best hope and wish, but of course there was another possible alternative, which they were prepared to embrace and hold that was that if a new Welsh university with degree granting powers be estab- lished, and Lampeter could not be received into it on fair and equitable terms, they should remain aloof. They were not afraid to accept the alternative, though for the sake of others as well as thems jives they preferred the former plan. There was a third alter- native, and sometimes the wild spirits—for there were wild and ungenerous spirits who would strip away and denude them of the degree granting power which they had so long held, and he believed not to the detriment of education in Wales. He did not believe that the justice of Wales and the justice and wisdom of Governments would be so cruel as to tare -for it will require to be torn-the privilege out of their hands. He had tried to show what the three alternatives were. No one would doubt which of the three they preferred, but if necessary they were pre- pared to cling to their own with tenacity. He then asked the examiner to read the report. Mr Wilson then, on behalf of the other four exam- iners and himself, read a statement, in which it was stated that they were distinctly of opinion that it was not desirable to continue the custom of making viva voce reports at this time of the year bat to avoid the inference that there was an any wish upon their part to keep silence, he would say that to the best of his judgment the general character of the work was at least as good this year as it had been during his term of examination, and that he had na reason to think that the work of the students in the other parts had been at all lower than usual. Of the twenty-one papers he had set the candidates had maintained the standards of former years in the old subjejts and had done creditably in the new. The remaining portion of his statement referred to detail matters. The Principal, assisted by Professors Scott and Feltoe, then conferred the following degrees, &c:— B.D. DEGREE. Mathematical.

Cole, W J The Principal, referring to the junior department, said they were going to ask their very old friend and former student of the College, the well-known Archdeacon of Llandaff, to be kind enough to give something like aa arehiiiaconal benediction upon their new school (laughter a.id applause). The Archdeacon of Llandaff aaid that it was quite possible that his long connection with that College enabled him to offer a few remark* upon what might be called the new department in the curriculum of the institution, which that day htld its annual com. memcration. There was some degree of point in the fact that he was not only an old friend of the Col- lege, but the oldest member present that day (applause). That told a rather awkward tale, but at the same time it attached to himself ei oertain amount of importance which very few had a right to claim l (laughter). He had known the College for many years, and hit acquaintance with the work, .Her various phases, was very great indeed. Referring tm the importance of the College, he said that he was speaking in the presence of members of the English univeisities, but he had no hesitation in saying that as far as tie Welsh Church wns concerned, the im- portance of Lampeter Cellege placed it in a position in that sense higher than either of the Universitiea (applause). It was known to all of them that: the Welsh Church required in its ministers special qualification*, which arose in a great measure front [he existence of two languages, which ministers of the Welsh Church were expected to be well acquainted with, so as to be able to minister in either of them. The language ot the country, and which would be the language of the country for many years, should not occupy a secondary place in the training of the men who were to discharge the duties of the ministry and to occupy the pulpits of the WeUh Church (applause). He always looked upon La(upeter at) a most importam& training institution to the Welsh Church. Now there was another thing which had very much to do with Lampeter college Men who could fully and honestly discbarge the daties of a minister must be men who have had a close acquaintance not merely with the language of the people but with the habita and thoughts of the people, and with the everyday life of the people. He claimed that the education afc this college fitted the young men for thedischarge of their duties in this respect inasmuch as a great number of them who entered the college and after- wards entered the church and had done admirable work there, whose early education had been weak, whose parents could only fiad sufficient money to pay the fees into Lampeter college, and had very little left, for the prepa:atory work before entering the college. He then referred, in eloquent terms, to the new school which had been established at Lampe'er upon terms which were certainly within the reach of all parents. He was astonished tnat morning when he was told that they gave house-room, firing, &c., and all for ther insignificant sum of 3s a week. He really did not know that he had ever heard better news for old Wales (applause). Having alluded to Ystrad Meurig school. he concluded by urging that parents had now ant opportunity of having their boys educated under a, heaithy discpline, and the benefit would be felt alt round. Mr Williams, the master of the boya School, re- ferred in most eulogistic terms to the venerable arch- deacon^ said that it was not altogether easy to speak for an institution which was yet in its infancy, and. this school was barely 22 weeks old. It was att eminently progressive one, but they must not look immediately for great or brilliant results they most be content to leave that for the future. They had established it on a fairly firm foundation, and th& promise of success was fairly bright, still the mem- bers of the board did not wish to elaim entire credit, but to acknowledge the great encouragement which: they had received from people outside, anconnectedt with the college, who had tiken an intelligent interest in all that concernedhigher anilintermediate education, in Wales (applause). By means of a houae-to-hoa.ac canvass,aided by subscriptions from the local gentry^ vearly exhibitions of the value of about j650 had been provided for the next five years for poor but cleservinff candidates (he ir, hexr). He urged that this was not an institution which had been established as a rival institution to existing schools; on the contrary, they all felt conscious of the splendid work which Welak schools had done in the past and were still doing, and they did not presume to think that they comldc offer educational advantages which others did not possess. Their new foundation was only the outcomef of the needs of the district in which they lived, ancl was far those who had not the means to go and pro- secnte their studies elsewhere (applause). This concluded the business at the Town Hall, owrf the company then adjourned to the College, where a, sumptuous repast had been provided ia the spaciouap lecture hall, and to which a large number sat down. After the luncheon, Principal Jayne proposed the toast of the Queen and the rest of the royal family, which was loyally drank. The Principal next proposed the health of "The visitor to this College—the Bishop of the diocese" (applause). The bishep wa.s well known to all of them, and he need not, even if he had the courage,. eulogise him. The brevity with which he expressadl their universal welcome to their visitor would, be- knew, be regarded as a mark of special appropriate- ness. Referring to the eloquent speech of the Axah— deacon of Llandaff made at the Town Hall thatr morning, and followed up by his admirable colleaguet Mr Lloyd Williams, he wanted it to be very plainly understood that they wished to introduce into their school nothing of competition in its lower forms. They had the head master of Carmarthen school and others with them that day, and they would feel some- thing like remorse if they had done anything tat damage the institutions over which they presided (applause). Their school was by no manner of means a mere passage to the Collage itself; they wished it. to cover more varied grounds than that, and they had already had one boy gone from them into a pro- fession which was by no means an ecclesiastical profession (applause). The Bishop of tit. David's thanked them very warmly and cordially for their kind reception of him, and for the manner in which his friend the Principal had proposed, and they had so kindly drank his health. It gave him very great pleasure to go there on an occasion like that which brought them together that day, and he only wished that it was in his power to go more frequently than he did, so as to deserve the title of a visitor. Having spent about 15 years of his life within the walls of a college and thejgreatesfr part of a quarter of a century in a university it WAS only natural that he should take an interest in this institution. He went there wiLh great pleasure aad interest, and with a sense of the greatest possibto satisfaction at the happy change and improvement which he had had the privilege of witnessing in the manner in which the work was carried on in that place (applause)..o\s to the education which WAJ given there, he was brought largely in contact with the young men who left that College and were can- didates for the ministry of the Church of England, and he could only say that he he wished he was more largely brought in contact with them (applause)?, he would be glad if the principal and professors would only send him twice as many colleagues as he got now. He found a marked difference in the tone.. stylo, and bearingjof the men who came out of this College and those in former times. Having atladed to the success of the College, and to the fact thati while formerly the average number was about 60, wnile now, including the junior department,they werat now nearly 150, he said he was glad that the College hst, the opportunity of welcoming that day members nuct representatives of other institutions which certainly they need look upon not in any sense otherwise than an agreeable one—he referred to those of Bangor and Cardiff, and the quite new college at Aberystwytk (applause). He trusted there would be a personal, friendship between the authorities of this College and the authorities of the new colleges. He could not help looking with much interest on the move- ment for higher and intermediate education D1 Wales. He would very much prefer, if it weret possible, in common with the principal, that somer arrangement could be made by which there could be an organic bond of union between the different bodies charged with the duties of carrying out the education of the young, and he was in favour of some central degree granting authority; but he quita agreed with the Principal that it was desirable that this College should retain its own position. If it was impossible to work on common terms with the other colleges then let them got on quietly, and if, as the Principal hinted. any attempt shoull be made to take away from the College th. privilege wh'ch it had for some years enjoyed of granting do- grees without compensating it, he hoped it would not be guo- cesstul; but if i was-what then? He did not think it would, kill the College; he thought if the College had examination* mm before, when it was known that men had passed the exaraiuib- tion they would dtand as high as those who were deeorated w th a bit of white skin (laughter and applause). He them referred to the importance of the College to the Wehb Church- Vice Principal Davey propo-ed the toast of the Bishops an £ Clergy of the Principality (applause). 'Ihe Bishop of Bangor responded, and apo'ogised for the fact that that was his first appearance amcng them, althougk he had been sub-visitor for several yeart. He then briefly referred to the work of the College, and to the new Colleges which had. been established, and peinted out that Lampeter ha-i one, advantage over them, viz., that of a distinct religious training (applause). Professor Culley proposed the health of the Examiners, "ôiclk was responded to by Professor King. Professor Peltoe proposed the toalt of the Bx-Professor#, three of whom were preslmt-cllnon Williams, Prebendary Matthew. and Professor Lla. (applause). Professor Li is recponded. Professor Tout proposed the Professors of the .iew College* coupling with it the names of Messrs Keir(Cardiff) and Hency Jones (Ban{or) who responded. Professor Scott proposed the health of the New Graduate*^ which was responded to by the Rev H. G. Lewis. One or two other toasts followed, and the proceedings, ter- minated. 4
