A Question and an Answer. -c- On a certain fine September afternoon (some ten minutes before the train for Farn- borough was about to start from Waterloo Station) a group of two or three men might have been observed standing on the departure platform, discussing what was apparently a matter of deep interest. "1 can't say I was ever more taken aback by anything," said one. Nor I," answered another. "I have known Jones for some years-you know he is a neighbour of mine-and he always seemed to me all that was upright and respectable. Went in a great deal for philanthropy, too. It's a devilish sad business. And the speaker-a gentleman of some sixty years, of a rubicund but withal pleasant countenance, and the pussessor of a pair of very well-dyed whiskers—shook his head with an air of profound melancholy. d Any children, are there, Rtorrington P" in- quired a third man. Lord Storrington sighed. One daughter -who was thought, of course, a great heiress; very good-looking and ladylike, too. The father's dishonesty will be a terrible blow to her, as she was really fond of him." There was another man standing just within earshot of this group, and listening with an expression of pained interest to the conver- sation above recorded. He was very shabbily dressed in a rusty black suit; and, as be had walked to the station, carrying his modest luggage in his hand, his boot- /ere dusty, and the perspiration stood in lait drops upon his thin white face. You would have guessed, looking at his bent figure, at the deep lines in his careworn forehead, and the beard thi ckly epnnked with grey, that he was about fifty I years old. As a fact: his age was thirty-eight. His eyes, over which he occassionally passed his hand, as though they gave him pain, wore the peculiar trustful, pathetic expression which one sees in the eyes of children and logs; they were not those of a man who had had to battle with, and guard himself against, the hypocrisy and suspicion of his fellows. He got into a third-class compartment as the group alluded to took their places m a first- class, and the train started. The subjeot of their discussion had been no ttews to John Harding. He had just heard in the city of the failure of the great bank of Jones, Uaskell, and Co.; likewise that the bead partner, Sir Thomas Jones, Kt., had absconded that morning. There were well- founded rumours that, though he had been living at the rate of twenty thousand a year, he had long been aware of the irretrievable ruin that must fall, through him, upon hundreds of innocent people. John Harding looked out over the green fields, upon the hedgerows and woodlands that were beginning to grow red and amber under the touch of early autumn, and a strange expression, half-sad, half-triumphant, broke over his worn face. I can ask her again now," he said to him- self. "I have lost all my savings, too, in this failure, but I have kept straight and have done my best. When she was prosperous and sought after we seemed very far apart, she and I, but now-the penniless child of a ruined swindler—even such a protection and love as mine are better than nothing." The train stopped. A footman advanced. and touched his hat to the gentleman with the dyed whiskers, who thereupon drove away in a smart; little brougham, and John Hard- ing, carrying his bag, walked down the dusty lanes that led to his old home. His home! It seemed as if a century had passed since he had left it to make his way in London, with his head full in those days of future literary fame, his brain vigorous and active, his capacity for work boundless. Now he was coming back to look at the dear old rose- eovered rectory in Hilton village, when be had started to fight life's battle, and he was a prematurely old, disappointed man, with his enthusiasm and ambition long since dead, his health broken, and bis only trustworthy income lost for ever. For many years—during those leisure honrs when he could escape from his desk in a city office-he had toiled at literary work, and toiled in vain. His writings (such as were not at once rejected by the publishers as dull and nnsui ed to the public taste) had obtained no sale. After thirteen years of incessant work and effort he was still a mere cipher in the world of letters, and those powers of imagination which he had once possessed seemed to him now to be dying out for ever. When he had left Hilton-all those years ago — there had been a kind of compact between him and a certain lovely girl of seven- teen, called Hilda Jones, that someday, when he should be a famous author and could make a home for her in London, they would ?e mar- ried; but since that day John Harding had never once reminded her of this childish engagement, although they had exchanged letters from time to time. John Harding walked on, past the rectory, past sweet cottage gardens, and tangled hedges, towards the lodge gates of Hilton Park. In the bygone days a somewhat vulgar, but un- deniably shrewd country banker, Mr. Jones by name, bad occupied a sman villa residence on the outskirts of Hilton village. Now he was a rich man and had bought the park from an impecunious country gentleman, and was a Wtuor in one of the best-knowo London firms. At least he had been all these things until this morning. John rang the great bell at the front door. it was opened by a very supercilious, powdered, gold-laced footman, who looked him well over from head to foot, wondering whom he could be, as he appeared hardly well dressed enough to be a piano- tuner or a clock-winder. "Can I see Miss Jones?" John Harding inquired. Another contemptuous stare at the rusty suit and square-toed boots of the visitor, and the footman led him into Miss Hilda's sitting- room. The scent of rare orchids and other flowers was wafted through the door as the man drew back the velvet portier and an- nounced, .f Mr. John Harding." A very handsome woman, who looked younger than her thirty years, dressed in a soft clinging dress of heliotrope silk and lace, turned round with a start. "You here, John! What an age it is since we met ?" The sight of his appearance, both as to dress and face, gave Miss Jones a considerable shock, but she was kind-hearted enough to conceal her feelings as best she might. 4 "I won't keep you long, Hilda," he said, in a very slow, grave voice. I have come to ask you a question. Years ago you told me you would be my wife some day. I have never reminded you of this, because I felt 1 was utterly unworthy of you. But for thirteen— thirteen years, every thought of my heart, every hour of my life, has been consecrated to you alone. I have worked day and night, but 1 have failed." Here he wearily-passed his hand over his eyes. My eyesight has suffered from much writing," he continued. If I have no one to write for me 1 shall go quite blind, I think. But I ask you now, will you come and help me-I think L may yet do something in life if you would-and give me fresh energy, fresh hope ? He looked round upon the room, gorgeously furnished, with its tapestry, and rare china, and Eastern embroideries, and its wealth of hot-house plants that perfumed theatmosphere Miss Jones was greatly taken aback, but she felt, nevertheless, a pang of deep pity for her old friend—this srod, worn-out, broken man. Could this be John-he who had been so lively and amusing, so full of life and enthu- siasm, so good to her in the old happy days p Well, at any rate, she would let him down easily,' she thought. '•Mr. Hard—John, I mean, she said, 1 am afraid—I must not—I can't give you a definite answer quite yet. The fact is, that a neighbour of ours, Lord Stoirington, likes me, I believe, very much, and papa-Is always saying I must marry him. He told me he was going to call here to-day, and I fancy, John, it is to ask me to be his wife. Don't look so sad; you will have your answer when I have seen Lord Storrington. Where are you staying now ?" I shall be at the White Hart in Hilton village." Once more he turned round to look upon all the luxury which surrounded the woman whom be loved. And to-morrow she would know that she was a beggar I cannot tell her of her father's disgrace," he thought; but he said aloud, as though he was speaking to some one in the far distance, And thirteen years of love —do they count for nothing ?" John Harding walked slowly away, down the grand old park, where the deer were graz- ing in little groups under the beech-trees. He bethought him of a short cut across the grass by Hilton Mere, which should bring him to the village. As he waa turning off the main road, the gentleman with the dyed whiskers, now mounted upon a cob, and followed by a groom, passed him. Who is that P" inquired John of a man who was breaking stoues. 11 Eh ? That be Lord Storrington. He comes 'ere a deal, 'e do—after our younglady, they say." And the old labourer chuckled to himself. A spasm of pain passed over John Hard- ing's worn face. "He is a better fellow than he looks," said be to himself. He knows of her father's disgrace, but he will marry her and save her; ah, yes! and give her many things which I cannpt give." And he walked slowly towards the Mere. Lord Storrington, a week ago, had fully in- tended to lay his heart, his gouty hand, and his mortgaged estates at the feet of the charming heiress, Miss Hilda Jones. Hut to-day he had no intention of conferring these numerous advantages upon the daughter of a ruined swindler. However, as he had really a considerable regard and esteem for the lady in question, and was moved with genuine feelings of compassion towards her, he deter- mined upon. half-measures-namely, that he would go and announce his approaching de- parture for Cannes, and at the same time express a hope of their continued friendship, and his desire to be of use to ber. It was fortunate for Hilda that she was sitting with her back to the light when he alluded to his intended journey, for the blood rushed into her cheeks as be did so, and her bitter mortification would have been very visible to him in the convulsive movement of her mouth. She answered him, however, calmly and coldly enough, and then Lord Storrington rose to go, with the agreeoble sensation that he had behaved in an extremely generous and magnanimous manner. As he passed the butler in the hail he care- lessly inquired whether the evening papers had arrived, and, being answered in the nega- tive, he remarked, Don't let Miss Jones have them to-night," and left that domestio a prey to mingled feelings of fear and curiosity. I'hen he mounted his cob, and trotted slowly away to Storringtou House. When he was gone Hilda Jones burst into a bitter laugh, which was speedily followed by tears of anger and shame. So he has been making « fool of me aU this time!" she cried. And then, suddenly echoing in her ears, she heard these words, And thirteen years of love—do they count for nothing ?" Dear old John she thought. "I have a great mind to defy papa, and marry John, after all. How sad he looked! And be is so clever, and so good and kind Row thoughtful and patient he used to be years ago, when I was heartless and cruel to him— very often If 1 marry him he needn't wear shabby clothes any more. 1 will go and see see him at the White Hart, and answer his question. How happy he will be The best thing, after all, in this world, is to make someone very happy She took her hat, and, throwing a loose plush cloak over her shoulders, went into the cool, sweet evening air. As she drew near the lodge one of the keepers passed her. 44 Have you seen a gentleman go by this way," she asked—" a gentleman with a greyish beard, dres-ed in a black coat ?" The man paused. Oh, yes I did," said he, Leastways, I saw a gentleman such as you you describe sitting on a felled tree by Hilton Mere not half an hour since." Hilda took the narrow path which should lead her through the little wood towards the lake. W hen she reached it, the evening was closing in, and it was rapidly becoming very dark. The heavy foliage cast great black shadows upon the water, which lay sombre and motionless under an iron-grey sky. Not a breeze was stirring through reeds or rushes: not a sound came from wood or thicket; not a living soul was to be seen, as far as her eye could reach. Ah! there were the felled trees. but John must have gono home. She called him "John! John where are you? it is I—Hilda. I must speak to you!" There was no answer, save the scream of a waterfowl, which rose from among the reeds at her feet, and soared away into the leaden sky. Suddenly her eyes fell upon a dark object a little way off, where some bulrushes reared their tall heads out of the lake. She drew nearer, and saw that it was a man's hat—a very shabby black hat—embedded in the slime and weeds at the water's edge. A cold shiver shook her frame from bead to foot. and the silence became terrible ex- ceedingly to her highly strung nerves. There was scarcely a ripple upon the dark face of Hilton Mere. John! John!" she shneked. Can't you hear me ? Where are you ? where are you ? You asked me a question an hour ago, and I. have come to say Yes,' dear John!" But her answer never reached him, after all —The World,

I have more than once drawn attention to the incapacity or unwillingness of the conductors of the vernacular "papers to offer opinions on questions about which the Gladstonian party is divided. The leading articles are then vague and meaningless. Sir William Har- court voted for the Eight Hours Bill, but Mr. Morley voted against it, and the Grand Old Man did not vote at all. The members for Merthyr went into separate lobbies The leading articles on the subject are confined, consequently, to a mere recital of the facts attending the debate and division. (Opinion Was divided," aays the Baner. Clouds and darkness sur- round the question," observes the Herald. The Tarian praises M^bon's speech, and the Genedl says that the best members voted for the Bill." The Tyst has two articles on the subject. In one the colliers are assured that the Bill will ultimately become law, and that the dawn of their redemp- tion is nigh," but the other article takes a pessimistic view, and questions the wisdom of going to Parliament for the relief of every grievance. The following sensible remarks are creditable to the good sense of the writer:— We fear that those who are demanding legisla- tive interference for eve> ything forget that such legislation is a restriction on the liberty of the subject, and that it is possible to carry it so far as to make life a burden. Men are stronger and safer the less they are interfered with, both morally and socially. The effect of legislation about every- thing would be to make machines of men, to rob thetn of their freedom, independence, and self- respect." respect." THE PAYMENT OF MEMBERS. The treatment of this subject illustrates another phase of the Welsh press. There is no hesitancy herein. "Payment of Mem- bers is one of the planks of the Gladstonian platform, and the course is, therefore, clear. Not only is the proposal strongly supported, but ideal statements are made which cannot bear scrutiny. For instance, the Baner states that" personsadvocatiug such a measure were persecuted, and even imprisoned, in the early days of the reign of Queen Victoria." The writer refers, 1 suppose, to the Chartist riots of 1839, when certain persons were punished tor violating the law, but the readers of the Baner will take it that persons advo- cating the payment of members were im- prisoned. This method of treating facts and history is too common in the columns of the Welsh press, and conveys to the monoglot readers ideas that are erroneous and false. In likl manner the Genedl states that there are 209 landowners in the House of Commons, and that these unite to oppose every reform in the land laws." It is a well- known fact t.at some of *the foremost advo- cates of land reform are landowners. Why, Mr. Gladstone himself is a landowner! The same paper says that lawyers go to Parlia- ment to benefit themselves. One-third of the Welsh members are lawyers, and who more strongly supports them than the Genedl f Is not Mr. Lloyd (ieorge, its pet member, a lawyer ? "Hhaid genau glau i ogani," is an old proverb which the conductors of some of the Welsh newspapers seem to have for- gotten. DISESTABLISHMENT AT MANCHESTER. The advocates of disestablishment held a meeting at Manchester a few days ago, over which Mr. Gee presided, and the friends of the Church held a defence meeting after- wards, with Mr. P. P. Pennant, of Brynllyr, in the chair. The chief leader of the Baner is devoted to a criticism of the two meetings. The one of which Mr. Gee was chairman is described as successful and enthusiastic, and the other is pronounced a failure: — "The statement of Mr. Helm that the Church was neither State-established nor State-endowed was received by his ignorant supporters wibli cheers and by hisses by his opponents A number of rough Saxons were hired for the express pur- pose of cheering the speakers. These fellows con- ducted themselves in a shameful manner towards the Nonconformists who were present. The friends 1 of disestablishment could not stand it, and there was a row. The chairman acted unfairly by stating that the resolution was carried. An effort' was made to sing • God Save the Qqeeu at the close, but it was drowned by the Nonconformists singing Hen wind fy Nhadau.' singing Hen wind fy Nhadau.' The Ltan gives the following version of the proceedings:— The Church Defence meeting at Manchester was disturbed by a number of persons who were present for the purpose of obstruction. They made horrible noises in order to prevent the speakers being heard. So different was the conduct of the scores of Churchmen who attended the disestub lishment meeting. Whilst Mr. Tudor Howell, son of Archdeacon Howell, was replying to Mr. Gee and Mr. Siansfeld the disturbers were howling like dogs. After the chnivman declared the first resolution carried, Mr. Byron Reed rose to spetk, but could not proceed because of the noise, ( hairs were broken and umbrellas used as weapons, and several persons were removed bruised and faint- ing. It is a shame that a section of our country- men should bring disgrace upon our nation in the presence of Englishmen. Their unworthy conduct has done the Church more good than harm, and exposed their discreditable methods of proce- dure." THE CHAPEL LEASE AT LLANBBYNMAIB. The Goleuad has discovered a sensational moident, which promises to become as noto- rious as the Cae Eynon" case for a season. The following is the prologue:- "No circumstance has drawn so much attention for some time as that which has happened ut Llan- bryntnair in connection with the l*ase of the Methodist chapel. Everybody may not ba aware of the fact that Mrs. Seymour Davies, mother of Colonel Davies-Evans, of Highmead, Cardigan- shire, is owner of the land. It is not likely that she will have her own way in the matter, for there are brave men watching the cause." Then follows an ex parte statement, trimmed and garnished for home consumption, of which the following is a sample:— With your permission, sir, I will furnish you with a sketch of the disaster into which the Church at Bont has fallen, in order that your readers from Holyhead to Cardiff may know of one of the ugliest forms of landlord oppression that remains in Wales, reminding one of the black days in Egypt under Pharaoh. Thu landlady, Mrs. Seymour Davies, had granted a lease for 99 years in 1859, but last year a, letter was received from her sol citor stating that she had no power by her marriage settlement to give more than 21 years. Many applications were made to Mrs. Davies to confirm the lease or sell the freehold, and the only reply received was an off, r of a new lease for 21 years, but on such oppressive and unreasonable terms as could not be accepted. The notice expired on the 25th of March, and there was great anxiety. Prayer meetings were held every day at the chapel from the 20t h to the 25ih to ask God to extend His Divine pro- tection over them. The meetings will long be remembered for their earnest and luminous. (liewyrchus) character, and for the firm confidence felt that the Lord would prove a refuge to His people in their extraordinary affliction. On the 25th the agent arrived from the extreme south to take possession of the chapel, but his demand was refused." The Herald and Genedl contain the same statement, furnished, evidently, from the same source. The Herald despatched a special'' to LIanbrynmair to inquire into the matter. He saw the minister and the deacon, who confirmed the statement. \The Genedl prints the same account, but the editor—with more justice and good sense than are usually seen under similar eirounistanceit-makes the following remarks:- v "We hope that our correspondent has been mis- informed, for we cannot believe that Mrs. Davies would have acted in the way attributed to her. We shall be pleased to publish any explanation Mrs. Davies or anyone on her behalf may send us." THE NONCONFORMIST MINISTRY AND VOLUNTARYISM. The Seven has usually on the first page an article by one of the ministers of the Baptist body bearing upon questions affecting the denomination. The oniiithis week deals with the difficulties of the ministers, and the writer-who gives his name and address- makes statements which would, if they had appeared in the Llan or Gtvalta, be condemned as libellous.. Here are some of them The Welsh pulpit is filled by men who have been brought up in workmen's houses. The young brethren begin to preach after some years of manual labour. Their pockets are emptied before they enter the college. They have to find £ 20 each for the funds before they are admitted, and have to borrow the money from their friends, which is a heavy weight about their necks. This state of things has A ruinous effect upon religion. Either the minister and his family become despised by reason of their seedy clothing or are driven into dettt Does not the soor apcearauce of the I have confined myself in this column almost exclusively to criticisms upon the weekly newspapers, but occasional notices are given of such magazines as are sent me for review. I have now before me the Cerddor and Cyfaill yr Aelwyd for A pril, two, maga- zines of a high order, and which are a credit to the conductors. There are others, such as the Haul, of exceptional merit, and deserving of a larger circulation than they get. The con- trast between the monthlies and the weeklies is great and surprising. The latter are saturated with party politics, and their literary character is considerably below par, whilst the former have an elevating tendency, and must be read by a different class of people. The Cerddor is now entering upon its fourth year, and fully ujaintains the high expecta- tions of the public from the services of the two able editors. The Cerddor takes lofty ground, and endeavours to lift the Welsh people in musical knowledge. CyfaiU yr Aelwyd, under the able manage- ment of Elfed and Cadrawd," promises to be a most useful magazine. The lines upon which it is laid down are of the right sort.

WORK AND WAGES. MINERS' MEETING AT EBBW VALE. The usual monthly meeting of miners was hold at the Market-hall, Ebbw Vale, on Monday. Mr. John Brain occupied the chair.—Mr. Thomas Richards,C.C., miners' agent, mooted the question of devising means of assisting to raise the necessary J6500 required by the county council for the loca- tion of an intermediate school at Ebbw Vale. He pointed out that the scheme was formulated for the purpose of educating the working classes. The matter was thoroughly discussed, and it is believed about B100 or J6150 will be raised by the colliers. The further consideration of the ques- tion was deferred to a special meeting, to be held at, the board room on Saturday evening next.-A resolution was passed with enthusiasm, That the minors of Ebbw Vale would refuse to fill any trucks the property of Messrs. Lancaster, Speir, and Co., in consequence of a strike at their collieries at Abertillery.It was decided to support Mr. J. F. Jones for a seat on the Bedwoilty Board of Guar- dians. CWMT1LLERY AND ROSE HEYWORTH COL- LIERIES STRIKE. A mass meeting of colliers representing he Abertiilery, Cwmtillery, and surrounding districts was held on Monday in the Jubilee Field, Abertil- lery, Mr. Jesse Dagger presiding, the miners pre- sent numbering about 2,000.—The meeting cor- dially approved the action which had been taken by the Union men.-Resolutions were unanimously passed sympathising with the miners of the Cwm- tillery and Rose Heyworth Collieries, and pledging the meeting to contribute towards their support, and that the whole of the district should be asked to do likewise.—A further resolution was passed as follows:- That this meeting of miners of Abertiilery, Cwm- tillery. and the surrounding district is of opinion that the speediest method should be adopted for the aboli- tion of the rotten sliding-scale that is reducing our wages at its pleasure every two months, by sending missionaries into all parts of South Wales, at our ex- pense, at the earliest possible date, and to nrepure for notice on July 1 next.

GLAMORGANSHIRE JUSTICES AND LICENSING CASES. In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice, London, on Monday (before Mr. Justice A. L. Smith and Mr. Justice Lawrance, sitting as a Divisional Court), Mr. Paterson (in- structed by Mr. H. Cousins) moved for a rule nisi calling upon the justices of the County of Glamor- gan, sitting in quarter sessions, to show cause why a writ of certiorari should not issue for the pur- pose of quashing their order directing Mr. Apple- gate, a licence-holder, to pay the costs of an appeal. The learned counsel said Mr. Applegate had already obtained a mandamus compelling the justices to hear and determine the appeal, but that did not get rid of the order of the justices that he should pay the costs of the old appeal. Mr. Justice A. L. Smith said the justices would not take any proceedings on that order, which, according to the decision of tho High Court, was founded upon a misapprehension. Mr" Paterson said a distress would issue, as a matter of course. Mr. Justice A. L. Smith remarked that the learned counsel could take a rule on the under- standing- that if he could not satisfy the court that it was absolutely necessary, the applicant would pay the costs. > Mr. Justice Lawrance said he did not think that the justices had any power to enforce the order as to costs. Mr. Paterson said he only asked for the rule as a matter of precaution. Mr. Justice A. L. Smith repeated that the learned counsel could take a rule on the terms he had men- tioned. He was of the opinion that the applicant did not require a rule. Mr. Paterson said that, after the strong opinion expressed by his lordship, he would withdraw his application. Subsequently Mr. Paterson applied on behalf of the owner of Mr. Applegate's premises for a rule nisi calling upon the justices of Glamorgan to show cause why they should not issue a writ of mandamus directing them to hear and determine his appeal. When Mr. Applegate's licence was refused he appealed to quarter sensions in his own name. The owner of the premises also appealed, he being a party aggrieved within the meaning of the statute. Both appeals were dis- missed. Mr. Applegate, the tenant, had obtained a writ of mandamus commanding the justices to hear his appeal, and the owner desired to be placed in the tame position as his tenant. Their Lordships granted a rule nisi.

i VOLUNTEERS AND JURY SERVICE. Colonel Howard Vincent, l)f.P., on Monday introduced to the Lord Chancellor an important deputation of commanding officers of Volunteer regiments from all parts of the country with the object of endeavouring to secure exemption for the noncommissioned officers and, if possible, the men of Volunteer regiments from jury service, a privilege he is already pledged to grant to officers. Lord Halsbury, in reply, while promising to look thoroughly into the matter and see what could be done, said he felt spme reluctance in attempting to deprive jury lists of the sei vices of thousands of men of such conspicuous intelligence as Volun- teer noncommissioned officers and men.

THE LORD MAYOR'S VISIT TO CARDIFF. I THE SEKSIBiTATlON CASKET. Tha above is a representation of the casket the deslj « ef whien was accepted on Friday by the w i Lord Mayor Reception Committee of the Cardiff Corporation, and which it is proposed shall hold the burgess ticket of the honorary freedom of the borough.

THE FINANCES OF WALES. Our Gallery correspondent telegraphsThe Welsh members intend, I understand, to persevere in their amendments to Mr. Goschen's motion for the re-appointment of the Committee on the Financial Relations of England. Scotland, and Ire- land. Mr. S. T. Evans, as already Staled, desires to insert Wales after England "—including, pre- sumably, Monmouthshire. The Welsh members point out that Mr. Gladstone is an advocate of this amendment. He spoke in favour of separate inquiry into the agricultural condition of Wales in the course of the recent Welsh Lan3 Bill Debate, and this, it is urged, amounts to the same thing. It seems, however, that the Government ate not prepared to give way in this matter, refusing to recognise Wales as a distinct nationality, and, therefore, the motion being opposed, may not come on at all this session.

VALUABLE ADDITION TO THE CARDIFF MUSEUM. An interesting miniature portrait of the bird Edward Williams, of Flemingston, better known as "Iolo Morganwg," or Ned of Glamorgan, bus been lately added to the Free Museum, Cardiff. The great local poet and antiquary is represented as a man in 'the prime of life, with a high conical forehead, short hair brushed nearly upright, with mild blue eyes, a finely- cut nose, and with a very firm' mouth and chin, and altogether a bapdsome and striking but very Welsh, face. There is a keen, eager glance in his eyes, that dhows the inquisitive and acquisitive spirit of the man, and leaves little doubt that it was a real portrait, and that the artist caught the true spirit of his subject. He is dressed in a blue coat with large collar and lappels, a dotible-breubtel waistcoat of greenish material barred with blue, buttoned close up to a white cravat, over which the tips of his shirt collar are seen The miniature was for many years in the posses- sion of the late Vicar of Llangynwyd, the Rev. R. Pendrill Llewellyn, who treasured it with jealous care, and after his death his son, for a considera- tion which need not be particularised, consented to present it to the Free Museum. It is inscribed on the back in the late vicar's handwriting, "Etward Williatiis, I lolo Mdrganwg,' the Bard of Glamorgan. This was painted froir. an original in the possession of Nrd. Taynton. of Cowbridge, by the late Mr. Vuughau.of Cowbridge." The paint- ing is in water-colours on paper bearing the water mark 1802, and has been sized and varnished—in tact, st;verat coats of varnish have been applied to it, making it exceedingly difficult to photograph. Since the miniature was handed over to Mr. Stotrie he has made considerable inquiries in order, if possible, to trace the original, and frem what he has learned he thinks that the vicar has been mis- led about it, and that the portrait now in the museum is the original that was once in Mrs. Tayntcn's possession, and that the copy made by Vaugban is the one that is gone a-missing. Two credible witnesses assure him that Vuughan's copy was in oil colour on a whiteish bostrd, and that the water-colour now at the museum is the one that was always in Mra. Taynton's possession. Mr. Storrie, however, is still pursuing his inquiiies, and hopes to be able to get, possession of both copies. Mr. T. C. Evans, of Liangyn,wyd, has been of great assistance in procuriog it for the museum.

THE LATE GOVERNOR OF THE COUNTY GAOL AT CARDIFF. The Cardiff friends of Major Knox, of whom he, had mtny while he held the position of governor of the county gaol at Cardiff, will learn with regret that failing health has at last compelled him to resign his position sis governor of her Majesty's prison at Liverpool, to which place he was promoted by Government while governor at Cardiff prison. Major Knox has been ailing for some time. Partial loss of sight has compelled him to hand over his charge of the prison to another. Major Knox leaver the Liverpool prison this week, and will takn up his abode at Cheltenham, under the ndvice of his medical attendant. This step Major Knox contemplated taking some time since, owing then to an uttack of paralysis.

THE DRAINAGE OF MONMOUTH. On Monday a fall meeting was held of the Mon- mouth Town Council, presided over by the mayor (Councillor W. Honevfield). Before commencing business a vote of condolence with the widow and relatives of the late Councillor John Bees was unanimously passed. The first part of Mr. Fletcher Trew's report on the drainage of the town was read, dealing with the present condition of the drainage. The second portion will be devoted to suggestions for a com- plete new system of drainage for the borough, and an approximate estimate of the cost of carrying out the work. The part of the report read is a voluminous document. It points out various defects in the present system of drainage, and recommends a completely new system on modern principles. — It was decided to defer dis- cussion, also to have the report printed and copies supplied to members in order that they might make themselves thoroughly acquainted with its contents by next meeting, when the second part of the report dealing with the proposed new drainage will be ready. Mr. BHEAKWHIX proposed that the main roads now maintained by the corporation be banded over to the county council.—Mr. COSSINS seconded, and after a brief discussion, which showed that the county council made better roads, and was more conomical than smaller bodies, the motion was agreed to unanimously.

lruth eavs:—"A speech delivered by the ttonan Catholic Bishop of Salford at a temperance meeting at Ashton-under-Lyne was so sensible and moderate that it deservse notice. The Bishop suggested that. whilst strong beers should be taxed, the sale of light heers not above a certain minimum strength should be encouraged by being freed from duty. This is a doctrine that 1 have always preached. It is, indeed, a pity thut more temperance reformers are not as reasonable and as practical Vs the Bishop of Salford." A.large measure of.the success of the Golden Sunlight Ale may be attributed to the fact that it is brewed on these lines, and will compare favourably, with the ordinary, high- coloured, sibrong, heady ales. It is brewed from inalt prepared from the iinest Herefordshire bar- ley, and most delicately ilavoured with hop?, called Wor'sters," but really grown in tne rich, fertile valleys of Herefordshire. Messrs. Watkins anti Son, of th9 Hereford Brewery, are the only brewers of this famous Ale, and it is sold by over 200 Agents of the North, South, East, and West of the British Isles, South Wales Ollice 94, St. Mary-strer t, Stores: Westeate-street.

INTERESTING FOOTBALL CASE AT ABERGAVENNY, !s the Game Manly or Mercenary P -Strong Remarks by the County- Court Judge. On Monday the case of Daniel Thomas v. Sidney Lewis was heard before his Honour Judge Owen at Abergavenny County court. Mr. W. C. Phillips, of Newport, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Webb, of Pontypool, for the defendant. The claim was for JE5. the value of a challenge cup, and S4 for gate money. Mr. Phitiip.< said that the plaintiff was the repre- sentative of the Pontymoile Football Club, and made his claim on behalf of that ciub, owing to the refusal to allow the club to take put in the final competition for the Blaenavon Challenge Cup. Mr. Arthur Gould was called as an expert, and gave evidence to the effect that when a club won a challenge cup once they held it, on giving security for its value, and they maintained that it was t heir property until won from them by another club. His Honour: You may maintain that, but you cannot uphold it. in a court of law. There was the challenge shield between England, Scotland, and Wales. Sometimes it was in one place and some- times in another. Mr. Phillips: But this is a money-making business. His Honour: Oh, football! Football! Don't say that. I thought it was a manly game. Don't take a way the crcdit of the game, Tile plaintiff., may ba eutitlcd to some damages if they were prevented competing, but they cannot claim for the cup. ■w,cii they had not, and could not tell that they wotid have, won. M Phillips called evidence with a view to prove that nsufficient notice had been given to play, r»<r. Jie plaintiffs wore entitled to four clear days, and did not get it. and that on one occasion it was arranged to postpone tne play because they had to compete on that day for the Monmouthshire Cup. His Honour, in giving judgment,, said that the fact ftppcared to be that ihf-se men wanted to go to Newport on the day appointed for the cup match, w here they would be able to make more money. He always thought that those who played fooiball were a manly set who played for the game, and he was sorry to find it degraded into a mercantile transaction. To his mind that was not a nice action, but he would not go into that question. The case tailed on every point in law and evidence, and he gave judgment for the defendant with costs. Mr. Phillips said there was no money in connec- tion with the Monmouthshire Cup. His Honour said he did not want to hear any more.

CARDIFF AMUSEMENTS. THEATRE ROYAL. As was to be expected, there was an excellent audience at the Theatre Royal on Monday night to witness the production of Mr. Arthur Pinero's comedy, The Times." It may safely be said that many of those present were attracted as much by the pleasant recollections they had of Mr. Arthur Pinero's skill as a playwright, as evinced in Sweet Lavender*" as by the reputa- tion his latest work has made during iffc run in the Metropolis, but, no doubt, after Monday night's performance, the play will have a provincial success by its own merits. Although raukiog as a comedy, "The Times" is, perhaps, somewhat difficult to define, for, while neither pure comedy, drama, nor farce, though in turn it partakes of each, it is a castigating satirical play wholly. Moreover, it is a play with a purpose, namely, to expose and hold up to ridicule the mean and petty devices resorted to by a vulgar tradesman who has got 00 to enable him to cling to the skirts of society. Judged as what it really is-a satire—exposing, though not too pitilessly, some of the surface faults and follies of the hour, The Times is distinctly good, and containing, as it does, undoubted cleverness and wit, there is plenty of fun to be got out of it, while at the same time a gently enforced moral imparts the required air of substantiality. With regard to the acting, praise cannot fairly with- held from any of the artistes, though necessarily the prominence of the parts enabled some members of the company to come to the fore. As Percy Egerton Bomvas, M.P., a "self-made man," Mr. T. W. Robertson has to severely exert himself, for the character is very composite, being at limes furious, pathetic, jovial, and pompous, but in each and every phase Mr. Robertson was equal to what was required of him, and well deserved the appreciative demonstration of the audience. The wife, Mrs. Egerton Bompas, ever ready to support her erratic spousu with her tender counsel and cheer- ing words, was admirably delineated by Miss Agnes 'Ihomas, as were also the several characters of the Hon. Montague Trimble, a sycophantic, oily-tongued, and evil counsel or (Mr. Fred Grove) the gentle- manly Viscount Lurgashall (Mr. Haslingden Russell) Timothy M'Shane M.P., an lnsh patriot (Mr. J. R. Lafane) the drunken nincompoop Howard, Bompas's son (Mr. Charles West); the sharp-tongueu, prying busybody Miss Cazalet-not a fair specimen of lhelady journalist (Miss Helen Ferrers); the aris- tocratic and proud Countess of Ilipstow (Miss Nora William-on); and the sensitive and retiring Beryl (Miss C. Lucie). A pleasing feature of the pro- duction, and one upon which Mr. Fletcher may be congratulate j, is the handsome style in which the play is staged. The performance was well received. and the members of the company were several times called before the curtain and warmly ap- plauded. THE PHILHARMONIC. Mr. Sheridan has this week provided his patrons witli u very good all-round bill, the bright par- ticular star being Mr. J. H. Woodhouse, whose songs and imitations are remarkably clever. Mr. Ted Young's dancing was much admired. Miss Jennie Steel, an old favourite, was treated with the applause she deserved. A great feature of the performance was the exhibition given by Vonare, the world-renowned lady contortionist, who seems to be able to twist her graceful form into anything but knots. The Brothers James gave their wonderful acrobatic act, and last, but not least, the Sisters Duncan, who will be remembered in connection with a recent pantomime at the Grand Theatre, though not announced on the bills, raised a crowded house to a furore by their cLver performance, their singing only being exculled by their neat dancing. THE EMPIRE. One of the befit all-round companies seen at the Empire for a considerable time past is engaged this week, and the crowded state of the houses on Monday evening again gave strong appreciation of the enueavours made by Mr. Stoll in his efforts to please. Bonnie Kate Harvey appeared in several pretty costumes, and sang in a style which evoked vociferous encores.* An entertainment of a novel kind was that given by Marinelli, the soake," whose contortionist antics were gone through in a manner little short of marvellous. Rezene and Robini kept the house in one continued roar of laughter the while they occupied the boards. Miss Marie Coleridge sang several soprano songs in charming style, and the Sisters Crossley sang well and danced gracefully. The One Mac sang an amusing parody on Godfrey's song, On the Bridge at Midnight," an also gave a capital exhibition of his agility. Pat Bergin, the one. legged comedian, fully maintained his position as a favourite. The baud, under the conductorship of Mr. W. Burgess, played the overture L'En- chantresse" with great appreciation of the merits of the selection, and in the accompaniments aleo they left nothing to be desired.

SAD ACCIDENT AT PENYGRAIG. Early on Monday morning Mr. Thomas Phillips, haulier and contractor, of Williamstown, was coming from some new houses at Pcnymaes, when his cart overturned and the horse fell on him. He sustained a compound fracture of the leg, and, had he not been extricated at once, there is no doubt he would have been crushed to death.

APPROACHING ROYAL BETROTHAL. The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Nelos says --The report that Prince Ferdinand of Uohenzollernd heir to the Roumanian Throne, is to be betrothes to the eldest daughter of the Duke of Edinburgh 0 confirmed. If the recovery of Prince Alfred prke ceeds satisfactorily, the formal betrothal will taHt, place at Coburg at Easter. The pafoces there, all events, are being prepared for the guests.

GALLANT RESCUE FROM DROWNING AT MERTHYR. On Sunday afternoon a little boy. five yean old, named Johnny Davies, fell into the Glamorgan- shire Canal at Abetcanaid. The mother appealed to a man near to save the chi)d. but the cowardly fellow callously refused. Alfred Jenkins, a pit labourer, hearing the screams of the mother, ran to the spot where the boy was immersed, and, jumping into the water, tescued him just as be was on the point of drowning. This is stated to be the third life which Jenkins has preserved.

FATALITY IN THE HUNTING FIELD Mr. W. Kyffin Kyffin, of Besselsleigh Manor, near Oxford, met with a fatal accident on Monday while hunting with the Old Berkshire Hounds. The meet was at Windmill House, Wantage, and when near Kingston Lisle Mr. Kyffin, who it i" supposed was seized with a fit, fed from his horse and broke his neck. The deceased gentleman was about 70 years of Itge. He was a direct descen- dant of William Lenthall.the Sopaker of the famous Long Parliamer"

UNPLEASANT INCIDENT AT 4 FUNERAL. Whilst a funeral was proceeding along Salisbury- road, towards Paddington Cemetery, on Saturday afternoon, the hearse was upset through the kick- ing of a restive horse, and the coffin was thrown into the roadway and one end smashed in. A man named Easter, who was assisting to hold the horse, was severely bitten on the arm, and had to be taken to St. Mary's Hospital. The broken coffin was placed in a cab and conveyed to the cemetery for interment.

LIBEL ON A BIRMINGRAAS SOLICITOR. At Birmingham Assizes on Monday, in an action for libel by a local solicitor against the proprietor of the Birmingham Daily Jfail, it was alleged that the defendants had libelled the plaintiff by putting the heading Serious Allegations Against a Soli- citor to a report of proceedings against him in the county-court. The case was tried without a jury, and Justice Denman gave judgment for the plaintiff for Is. without costs, on the ground that, though a libel had been published, it was so trivial that no action should have been brought.

VOLUNTEER INTELLIGENCE. ROYAL NAVAL VOLUNTEER ARTILLERY. The conditions of transfer have been approved of by the Clyde Division of the Royal Naval Volun- teer Artillery, and the Bristol Corps will, in all probability, join the Severn Division Submarine Miners, and it is hoped that the Swansea Division will also join. The woik to be performed is exactly the same as they have been accustomed to, while they will receive tar store liberal allowances than when under the naval authorities. Each division would work separately under their own officers, but Cardiff would remain the headquarters.

FOOT RACES AT MERTHYR. On Monday a 120 yards foot race for JE20 a-side took place at Penvdarren Park, Merthyr, between Alfred Wakefordo Ystrad, and J. Jones, now of Treherberf, and formerly of Troedyrhiw, the latter winning by a yard and a half. Alf Blatchford (Treharris) was starter, and Mr. Dan Thomas, referee. A race of a similar distance for a stake of j610 was brought off on the same venue between Bert Loveridge and S. Richards, both of Tre- harris. The officials were the same as in the previous event. Loveridge, who was conceded a start of two yards, won by three or four feet. .ii

PIT HORSES SUFFOCATED AT NANTYGLO. On Sunday morning seven horses were suffo. ca.ted and two ostlers only narrowly escaped a like fate lit Peggy's Pit, Coalbrookvale; owned by Messrs. J. G. und W. Barnes. The occurrence is stated to have been caused by a fall which obstructed the nir-way. The two ostlers, father and son, uamled IeaiHh Humphreys and John Hum- phreys, descended the flhaft as usual to attend to the horses. They proceeded to the stables, and there discovered that seven out of the ten horses had been suffocated, whilst the remaining three showed signs of exhaustion, having been exerting themselves to get loose. The men were seriously affected by the gas, but the father was brought safely to bank by his son.

THE BOMBAY WATERWORKS. A GIGANTIC UNDERTAKING. A Times telegram from Calcutta on Saturday says:—The opening of the Tansa Water- works by the Viceroy is a most important event in the history of the municipal self-government of India. No other municipality has yet ventured to undertake a work so costly and difficult as that which has now given to Bombay the best water supply of any city in this country. The physical diticulties were enormous, and the work involved the construction of a masonry dam two miles long, a lake of nearly six square miles in area, 55 miles of ducts, 27 miles of iron mains, four miles of lunnel4 and nearly a mile of iron girder bridges, costing \&tt)ogether about a crore and a half of rupees. =
