Courtship Under an Umbrella. How Robert Courtright aed Gabriel Vaughne were Mated. If it didn't look as if I were trying to gain some benefit from your umbrella," he remarked, as he chanced to meet her on the church steps after service, I would ask to walk home with you. I didn't expect rain when I left home, so I am unprepared." However," came her clear reply, just arob enough to be fascinating and just tender enough to be frank. if joall carry my umbrella and let me turn my energies to keeping my dress oaugbt up out of the mud I'll be very thankful to you." They had walked, strangely enough, half- way home in almost complete silence, when a man and a woman passed them, under one umbrella, but, unlike them, the woman was held snugly close to the man's side as she clung to his arm. It was a picture of that open freedom which so undeniably marks a congenial man and wife, whose companion- ship has ripened into frank trust. As they passed Robert Courtright said, half thoughtfully, perhaps: They are sensible. li two are trying to use one umbrella they are sorely to be com- mended if they strive to take up as tittle room as possible. Even if it be noon, won't you take my arm? "But they are plainly not such—such strangers as we," she returned, conscious that both were treading on dangerous ground. A re we strangers ? he asked quickly, turning his eyes searchingly to her. The pretty face grew a trifle pale against its light-brown hair. A lump seemed to climb to her throat, but she returned bravely: Yes—that is, wefll always be strangers com- pared with them." He stopped for an instant and gazed fixedly at her till a hot flush flew up from out her durk fur collar and swept under the velvet strings of her dainty brown bonnet. Alvays ?" he asked simply. Yes. Why, can't you see that they are married ?" She tricd to laugh it away, but it would have been difficult to tell which pair of lips quivered the more or which pair of eyes swam m the deepest mist as the two started on, both silent, both sad, both realising that a little tragedy had occurred in that brief invtant under that dripping um- brella on the nvwo boulevard. Eight years went by, and found Gabriel Vaughne alone m the world, with necessity for keeping up a\ life in which all interest and all energy were dvad. She had at last arisen from a tedious illstess, and the nurse herself scarcely recognised the tall, pale, sad- aced woman, with the vhort, dark curls, as the bright-eyed, light-haired girl of six months before. Gabriel had one thing dear to her, and only one, and that was a memory. And aome of our dearest memories are the cruelest parts of our lives. When finally she stood before a mirror and realised that that changed creature was herself, a mighty resolve filled her-she would go to the source of that memory. She knew where he was; she knew that he had married three years after that bitter morning in the rain, and bad married a wealthy wife. That was the reason that she bad thrust him back from her long ago, just because of his poverty. Not that it would pain her, a thousand times no HadllOt she cri' d out, night after night since, that starva- tion with him would be only bliss. But she bad known his ambitions and his capabilities -knew his dreams of success, and she realised his ability to turn the dreams to realities. She was poor. Would she permit herself to hang a millstone about his neck? Would she hold him always in the depths of poverty by being his wife and the mother of his needy children. No. she would hurt his heart before she would ruin his life. She had proved that she had been right. His wife was a dissatisfied woman, and her wealth had opened boundless opportunities to him. He had risen—she had known that he would. But now that she scarcely was able to know herself she would venture into his world and see for herself how happy and proud and prosperous be was. So, having spent all but her last bill for her ticket, she stepped into Philadelphia one spring evening, steeling her heart to what might follow. The next evening she bad walked past his great, rich house, and was starting back when a sudden shower burst unexpectedly upon her. She gathered up her skirts in that particular way so charac- teristic of a dainty woman and was-hurrying along when all at once the was conscious of a sharp, ohildish cry at her side. Turning, she beheld a tall, sad-faced man trying to quiet a fretful baby of about two years, which held out its dimpled hands to her and cried: ) Mamma Mamma The gentleman strove to stop it and Gabriel Started on. But sharp and piercing came the "Mam-ma and her heart bade her linger. For the first time the man spoke to her. "I must beg your pardon, madam. His mother has just died, and something about you seems to have re-called her to him." Gabriel's heart softened at once. Going •Iraight up she took the tiny, outstretched bands in her own and murmured: Poor, motherless little one." The father held out his umbrella over her, and for the first time she looked at him-the face was Robert's! She was glad for the excuse of turning to baby again and murmur- ing something unintelligible. However, he had not recognised her, so she drew all her strength to her assistance, and succeeded in biding her emotion. If you will walk under my umbrella, as I am going your way for this square, you can kef)p dry. And, too, I fear baby won't like to part with you now." Thfre was no easy way to retreat; it would have been absurd to soud off in a changed direction through the pelting rain, so she continued talking hurriedly to the child. As they reached the foot of the broad stone ttRpa she stopped. I cannot thank you enough for having calmed Leslie. His nurse left this morning and be will not be consoled by any of the other servants. So I finally told Mrs. Clarke, the housekeeper, that I would try him for a walk. But will you not take the umbrella F It will be a shame to expose yourself to such a, deluge." She gracefully declined all thanks and such kind offers and glided quickly off, a tall,, black-robed figuare daring tbe watery drops~ But a perfect shriek from baby arose when ha found himself deserted in this fashion, and Sach succeeding cry became loader and more ¡ distressing. Again Gabriel could not go. Again she came back to him. Will you please come into the house with bim P Mrs. Clarke may there be better able to get him away than I." So Gabriel, carrying his child, entered his house, unknown, bot welcome even then. Leslie was not to be easily deceived, and all the ruses were seen through immediately by his careful big blue eyes. We must get a nursemaid this very night," declared Mrs. Clarke, as she en- deavoured in her practical, cold-hearted way, to inveigle the young lord from his new mamma." But," groaned Mr. Courtright, "where can one get one which he can trust on such short notice ?" A bold idea entered Gabriel's head. She tried three or four times to speak, and her voice failed. Finally she choked back trie lump in her throat, and said, .1 Would it be presumptuous for me to offer myself ? I can show you excellent refe- rences, and I am now looking for some such position." Yoa a nursemaid ?" exclaimed Mr. Court- right, in amazement. Then, a moment later, he would given much to have it back unsaid; her plain black gown was darned at the elbows -it was merely her way of wearing it that gave her the appearance of a woman of long- founded culture and delicacy. Two years went by, in which Miss Varney, as she was now known, undiscovered, was loved by, and loved in return, Mr. Court- right's two children. It was one evening in March, just before dusk, when she had left Leslie upstairs asleep and bad just come down to the drawing-room with Mabel, to stay with the child till her father came to dinner. He was late, and Mabel had wandered off to a back parlour, thus leaving Gabriel alone in the dimly lighted room when Mr. Courtright finally entered. 1 shall call Mabel," she began, starting from her station by the window. No, Miss Varney; say. I have something to say to you. You remember how moved I was the first time that Leslie called you mamma' ? You thought then, no doubt, that it was because of the memory of my wife. Partly so, but mostly because as I looked up at you I thought for an instant that you were the woman who might have been his mother if the fates had been kinder. Do you know, Miss Varney, that you often remi nd me cruelly of a woman I loved better than the world ?" Your wife ?' She was glad that it was dark enough to hide the trembling of her lips. "No, not my wife. I loved Marie one way; she was tender and true to me. But the woman that I really loved" Then after a short pause be went on: "But what I meant to say to you is this: I have learned to love you a thousand times better than Marie, and sometimes, I almost think, as muob as I loved the dearest one. Can you, will you hate me if I ask you thus to be Leslie's mamma in truth as well as in word ?" Slowly came the reply But you love the first woman best of all even yet ?" Yes, I do. But, as I said, I often almost think that you are she when I stop to realise how I feel towards you." Moment after moment went by. The shadows came closer, and the rim of lighter clouds near the west horizon grew narrower. At last she said, "1, too, loved in the long ago. But I can never in any way love another man. But-" Miss Varney," he broke in. No. let me finish," she continued. "Take an umbrella and go down to the east gate. Do not ask a question, but take the umbrella and wait there." Then she sped upstairs. He was dazea; maybe that was the reason that he, as in a dream, did as she had bid and took his station down by the rustic gate, where the softly falling rain dripped through the leaves on to the gravel of the walk. Suddenly he was couscioua of a rustle at his side, and, turning, there stood a tall girl, with a loving smile beaming above the same dark collar, with a sweet face shining from beneath the same velvet bonnet, remembered so well from long ago, and an old-time voice mur- mured, Robert." Gabrielhe gasped. "Yes," she laughed, "Gabriel and your narse-maid in one." When they walked up to the house that night she clung lovingly to his arm under the narrow umbrella, for they were strangers no longer.— Ina J. Heglbh, in Chicago News.

STILL HARPING ON HIS SLIGHT. Letter from Mr. Labouchere. Mr. Labouchere lias written a long letter from Cadenabbin, Italy, to the chairman of the North- hampton Liberal and Radical Association, acknow- ledging the receipt of the association's vote of confidence in him. In the course of his letter, Mr. Labouchere soys According to my reading of the Constitution, the doctrine that the Sovereign cannot err is basnd upotk the theory that she ittwaysacta in accordance -a. it h the advise tendered to her by her official advisers. In the particular case which called forth your resolution, the per onal disfavour of the Sovereign outweighed the deliberate intentions of lid Prime Minister. Fortunately, the country suffered no ill, for it was ea*y t) find many able as ffBcienUy—indeed more efficiently—to serve it in an executive capacity. But a piecedent was established which might, under possible future circumstances, prove inju- rious to the public welfare. I bad always been under the delusion that the b- ast of our Constitu- tion—in theory, at least-had been that all might, whatever tlifir position or occupation, aspire to the highest political offices in the State, whilst the fact that a great and important con- stituency had again and ngiin sent, a person to Parliament as its representative was thought rather proof that bis fellow-citiz-ms did not deem him under any di.«qu<ilification, but the reverse. I consider, therefore, that under ill the circumstances I owed a duty to Mr. Grindstone, to you as my constituents, to the Radi- 71als plsewhere who honour me with their con- fidence, to the Constitution, and to myself, and that I was right in fulfilling this duty, regardless if the t-buse and misrepresentation that I knew would be lavished upon me. I trust we shall be in accord with the present Ministry iu everything, and that as they have attained power oy Radical support, they will retain that support !Jy being themselves Radical in power. If (and I in no way anticipate that this will happen) they ire nor, I shall act as I did during the Parliament )f 1880, for my creed is Measures, not men.' As ;he representative of Itadiculs, I hold that no Ministry that is not Radical can expect Radical support."

DEATH OF THE HON, JOHN DUN-DAS. News was received in Richmond (Yorkshire) on ruesday evening of the sudden death of the Hon. fobn Charles Dundas, brother of the Earl of Zet- and. Deceased, who was born in 1845, represented Richmond in Parliament from 1873 to 1885.

DAY BY DAY. Swansea figures better than Cardiff in the matter of healthiness. Cardiff gives twenty and Swansea only fifteen deaths to every thousand of the population last week. The average is 19'8. A compound of wit, humour, banter, f-icti» fiction, and scurrility-sucli is the South Wales Star's description of this column. Well,it ought to suit all taster, and the Star ought to take kindly to the scurrility. There is scarcely a mountain peak of any pre- tension in Wales that the Rev. Newman Hall has not been on its summit. These days Dr. Hall divides his attention between the mountains and i ba-gold mines of Merioneth. One hundred and twelve is the number of mv tations issued for the ceremonies in connection with the opening of the Taff Vawr Waterworks to-day. The number includes the members and officials of the Cardiff Corporation. "Cranogwen," sa;. s our contemporary, seu ns likely to become very popular amongst the Cui- vinistic Methodists as a preacher. l811't it a bit late to say this. We are not very young, but we can scarcely re-ca)l the time when the sermons of the poetess were not popular with the Methodists. What is there in this world that Mr. Gladstone does not know? "Tliough not a consummate Welsh scholar," he said, he could in some degree apprehend the tenour of the few words spoken in Welsh by Mr. Lloyd-George at Carnarvon." Flap- doodle! The secret committee system will soon become a tiling of the past in Glamorganshire. Yesterday the finance committee of the Glamorgan County Council decided that in future its meetings should be open to tbe press. Three cOfIUDiUees now meet openly and faarlesety. Next! Sir William Bdberte, M.D., is passionately fond of fishing. For two or three months at this time of the year be comes down to his country residence at Dinas Mawddwy, iu Merionethshire, and almost every day the emiaent medico may be seen coax- ing the Dovey fiab to walk into his basket. Yesterday a meeting of Baptists at Swansea broke up in a maimer almost similar to the grand smash-up cf the society on the Stanislaus. We didn't see any chunks of old red sandstone flying about, but, in almost every other respect, tbo gathering was madgenough to have been a meet in £ j of Allsop shareholders. Has anybody seen a large water-fcmk wandering about friendless-and tonety ? Tbe Swansea Rural Sanitary Authority have lost such a tank, and all efforts to find it are futile. It is thought that the art icle has been annexed by a thirsty teetotaler who intends being present, for tasting purposes, at the opening of the Taff Vaswr Reservoir to-day. Is this [the Trouser Age ? First of all we have Mr. O'Brien's breeches waved in our faces, then the Duke of York's trousers are thrown up in the air by a lady, and now a. mysterious bundle of these articles has brought a little Cardiff boy into trouble with the police and magistrates.

The Bishop retains the part- services of Dean Owen. to whom be has peR Chancellor Jones's stall; and the chancellorship of the Cathedral goes to Canon Richardson, as some eoosofcttkm to-feim for losing his seat in Convocation the other day. The appointments have given great satisfaction in the diocese. The Great Western Railway Company is about to add another straw to the weight with which it burdens Cardiff. The train examiners at Newport recently a»ked for assistance, and the reply was that the wcxk of examination is to be transferred to Cardiff. This, it is added, will "tend to accelerate the train service nt Newport." Just so, it will benefit Newport and add another excuse for deliy and irritation of passengers at Cardiff. "Gwyliedydd" writes" Sir,—The folio win,; sentence appears in a paragraph in your interest, ing column:—* Among the Welsh writers of to-day the Rev. D. Oliver Edwards stands pretty well to the front in popularity.' There may be, and pro- bably there are, admirers of this gentlemuu's writings, but thrre are others—of whom I am one— who consider them coarse and even blasphemous. I have often given specimens of contributions to the Barter, under the title of I Nyth yr Ery r.' The oldest inhabitant has been t'oum?. It is Mr. Gladstone. At Carnarvon on Monday night he sraid This is not my first visit to Carnarvon. I believe I visited Carnarvon before any of you that I see here—I vvry much suspect that would prove to be the case if we compared dates—that I was here when the Menai Bridge, not the Bntannia Bridge, but the suspension bridge, had been open for a few months only, and that was in 1824 or 1825." An engineer refers in our correspondence column to the recent interesting blasting operation at a Newport dock. We witnessed another in- teresting blasting operation last night. A gentle- man badly wanted a pink edition of the Express und, luckily, met a boy with one solitary copy as he whs entering his home. Visions of a peaceful read" after supper made him cnjcy the ineul sill the more, and he lit his pipe, eat back in his arm. chair, crossed his legs, and opened the paper. It was a day old! Then the operation began, but it was not nearly so successful as the one at New- port. Mr. Gladstone said at Carnarvon that he could apprehend the teuour of Mr. Lloyd-George's Welsh speech. If Mr. George spoke Welsh ns we once heard a well-known Welshman do, Mr. Glad- stone might have understood the words as well M the tenour of them. "Mr. Chairman," said the Welshman to whom we refer, 'dwy 'i ddim myu'd i wneyd long speech, dim oud gweyd coopwl o geiriuu simple fel bod capacity pob person pre- eeno) yn gnllu comptehendo 6." And we believe the capacityjof 11 pob person presenol" rose to the occasion. A deal of bad feeling exists in certain quarters over what is considered the small-minded action of the Rhyl Eisteddfod Committee in offering the paltry sum of jBt for a good biography of the late Dr. Lewis Edwards, of Bala. "Welshmeq," writes a correspondent, regarded the offer as an insult to the memory of a great divine, and only two compositions were sent in, both written, it is need- less to add, by men who knew hardly anything of Dr. Edwards." And tti-n our correspondent asks a question which we cannot pretend to under stand—" Had I be fact that Dr. Edwards was a Methodist anything to do with the cnse?" People who read the accounts of some of the tithe disturbances in Cardiganshire might imagine that there is almost a universal detestation of the Church in that county, but those who reside in the district know how flourishing the Church is, and that hundreds of Nonconformists have a predilec lion for it. Trinity Church, Aberayron, waa on Sun- day morning last crowded by a large congrega- tion, about half of whom were Nonconformists who bad come to bear the Bishop of Bangor give his historical sketch of the Welsh Church, a sum mary of which, as delivered at Llanarth pre viously, we published a few days ago. Mr. Richard Cory got very excited at the Baptist meeting at Swansea yesterday. We do not ever remember to have seen the worthy gentleman in a much mora troubled state. The meeting decided that it was time to vote, and as they wouta listen to no further speeches even from the chairman, and as the chairman decided that he would not put the resolution till he had bad a further dig at the subject, there was "grate fun." Mr- C<>ry declared ho would say what he had to say if he kept them there till ten o'clock, and the meeting on their part declared, even more vociferously, that they would vote there and then. But Mr. Cory won the day, for be finished his notes amid the wildest hubbub and just as he seemed to be going rapidly into An apoplectic nt.

John Roger Williams, 62 years of age, who was for many years pastor of Nazareth Welsh Independent Chapel, Fontlottyn, took place. The funeral cortege was conveyed by a special passenger train from Pontlottyn to Hengoed, from whence the coffin was carried across the valley to Tabor Welsh Indepen- dent chapel, where a service was held, and tbe Rev. Sylvan Evans (formerly of Rhymaey) preached the sermon, and the cboir sang apropriace Welsh hymns. At the grave side, after the coffin bad been lowered, the Rev.

SAD ACCIDENTfAT LLWYNYPIA. Richard Payne was the victim of a fatal acci- dent at the Llwynypia Colliery on Monday even- ing. He wos engaged as a coker on the surface wotks- On this occasion he was occupied with drawing a plank across a gullet or channel, which runs between the ovens. Tbe wagons are shunted by an engine into these gullets. Payne had not noticed that the tram was shunting, and the result was that while he was handling the plank the tram hit it with such force as to throw the old man into the gullet, where be was crushed by two wagons going over hilm. Death was almost instantaneous. He-had been at this work for many years. Ooty some weeks ago he buried his wife.

RIVAL SIR EDWARDS. The World says:—Mr. Gladstone is already pledged to support the,Channel Tunnel scheme, and it is not unlikely that, Sir Edward Watkin will take the pardonable opportunity of pushing his project a little during the Premiei's short visit to Snowdon. Bnt I understand that Sir Edward Reed has every intention of bringing in his Tubolnr Railway Bill next session, and of forcing it to a second reading. Mr. Gladstone, after disappoint- ing the member for Cardiff in the matter of the Admiralty Secretaryship, can scarcely refuse to support his Bill, while voting for that of a political opponent.

I AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION. Manifesto by Welsh Farmers. Mr. John Jone^, of Blaen-v-Wa^r, Carmarthen- shire, hns issued a manifesto on behalf of Welgh tensnt. fanners. Tlie manifesto state. That, in order to meet the great depression of stocks and or ps, great reduction of rents must become imperative. It is not only the present, but the future piospects of the tenant farmers that are gloomy, if not alarming. Oats, wheat, and barley are imported to this country cheaper than the farmers can grow them, even if rents were liaif their present value. Beef and mutton are likewise imported, so that tho p ices of fit and store c-ittle have been reduced to a ruinous extent. If a general reduc- tion of 30 to 40 per cent. be made on land, its owners at the present time would be a? well off 11'1 t hi V wt years ago. when leceiving increased and iu;! rontf, for £ 70 at ) he present day is rqunl to, if not more than, £100 at that time; S20 to-day for a plot of land is equal <o £27 a few years ago. The reduction, therefore, would inflict no hardship on piOprietors ot land. We ask for nn equitable adjustment of retits to the present value of commodities. Theagricuhurnl interest of the country demands speedy attention of Parliament to tho following subjecis:—'Fixity of tenure, fair rents,, and full compensation." The manifesto collcludes After centuries of forbearance and oppression, it is now full time to grant justice to Welsh loyalty what has been granted to Irish sedition."

THE MARCH OF THE WELSH FUSILIERS. From Harlech the Royal Welsh Fusiliers pro- ceeded by special tram to Tanygrisiau, whele the regiment disembarked and marched three miles to Blaenau Festiniog.the road being lined by the quar- rymen of this great centre of the slate industry. As the troops climbed the steep road beneath he huge ciiffs puffs of smoke shot out from them, succeeded by the loud reports of the "rock cannou," which were fired in sulutc, making the mountain fastnesses round re-echo. Rock cannon are Welsh specialty. On a flat rock, the harder and more tough the better, a oeries of holes are made and tamped with a bar, as if for blasting purposes. The holes are somewhat shallower, and are connected by little grooves. The holes are well loaded with an explosive and powder is scattered along the grooves, or else a fuse is placed. The gunner at the proper moment lights the fuse and a grand s,sluto is the result as the quick match reaches hole after hoi, It is as well to retire behind a rock duriug the firing as the holes are sometimes shattered entirely, and splin- ters fly. Encamping at Blaenau Festining for a day, a special train conveyed the regiment, to Doig^Hy, where abnlhantreceptionla waited them. In; he park below the town a huge assembly, cot|ipji*it!g the Hite of the county, were gathered to see the tuen reviewed by ColoHel Cheek. The men performed j various exercises, and a specially fine sit:ht was presented at the trooping of the colours." Here the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of London joined the company. Ait"l' dinner to the men and luncheon to tlio officers, given by Mrs. Richards, of Cierynwcb, who has three sons conntcel with the regiment, a return was mudo to Blaenau Festiniog, where the Lord Mayor was received by Mr. A. M. Dunlop, chairman of the loe,)) board, in the Market-square. The Fusilier^ formed the guard of honour. The exhibition of fireweiks on the cliffs, with more thunder of rock-cannon salutes, and a concert, at which native talent ex- hibited itself well, closed the day.

c. WORLDLY RELIGION" IN WALES. "Laicua" writes to the Times.- — The remarks of your correspondent in Friday's issue on the election in Wales contaia one most interesting fact relating, not to Welsh politics, but to Welsh Christianity. He says that in some of the large Welsh boroughs absulutely no part was taken in the election by the clergy of the English Church, and he hments itir Now, sir. this is one of the most enconraging things that has been published regard- ing the position of the Church of England in that; part of the country. That the clergy should have had the courage to take this line, in spite of the co "slant attacks to which they are subjected and the great provocation which they receive, shows a high-mindsdnefs that is sure to produce a good effect. Few things are more melancholy to a reflecting mind than the me of the pulpit as a centre of patty politics. It was not thus that the English Church w u its position in the English towns. It was not thus that the Methodist iBiiders won their influence with the Bristol colliers. No greater mistnkEI can be made by the clergy, rspecinlly the clergy of the country districts, than that of degrading their spiritual influence in the service of a knot, of partisans. Far too many clergy are connected with the Primrose League they gain no re poet thereby, but only incur suspicion, for the plain countryman argues that the clergyman tries to get him to come to church that he may influeuce his vote. If the clergy, as a body, would repudiate all connection with party organizations —not, of course, with political life-they would be the guiners in the long run. Wot Idly is written upon the prevalent Welsh religion; the religion of these few Welsh clergymen seems to belong to a different type.

POLO AT ABERGAVENNY. The twenty-first meeting of the Monmouthehire Polo Club commenced on Tuesday with the annual tournament. The teams drawn to play were:- Ashtead v. Monmouthshire, and Ludlow v. Andover. The ground on the racecourse has, thanks to the efforts of Mr. C. F. David, been very much improved, and may now be said to be a perfect polo gronnd. Play commenced soon after three o'clock, when Ashtcad and Monmouthshire commenced. Ashtead was represented by Mr. A, Graham Moon (captain), Mr. T. E. Brandt, Mr. E. Shepherd, and Mr. L. Paine Monmouthshire, by Captain Herbert'(enptdn), Mr. F. David. Mr. Howard Cartland, and Mr. E. Herbert. Mr..Moon secured three goals fot Ashtead, and another goal was obtained by another player, making a total of four goals. Monmouth- shire got three goals, two of which were taksn by C,iptain Herbert and one by Mr. Howard Cartland. Ludlow was repre- sented by Mr. W. H. Jeffreys (captain), Mr. B. A. Cunningham, Mr. H. Martin, and Mr. A. E. Gerurd. Andover by Mr. P. A. Letlf (captain), Mr. A. Sewart, Mr. E. Tozer, and Mr. C. Crawshay. When time WIIS called each team had scored six goals. It was decided to play for another 20 minutes, during which Ludlow secured another goal. The play waa clever throughout, and the aee fflst.

VISIT OF MR. H. M. STANLEY TO SOUTH WALES. Our Briton Ferry correspondent writes:—Mr, Stanley, accompanied by Mrs. Stanley, will arrive at Cadoxton Lodgp, Nrath, at the end of this week, and during his stay will preside at a lecture at the Gwyn-hall lo be delivered by the Rev. J. LJ. Thomas, Briton Ferry, on behalf of the Palestine Exploration Fund. The great African explorer is not a stranger to the work of Palestine explora- tion, having descended, with Sir Charles Warren, a shaft 80 feet deep to the foundations of the Temple wall, an experience not now possible, the shaft having been closed up by order of the Turkish Government. The great name of the chairman invests the forthcoming lecture with unusual interest in the district.

MR. WILSON BARRETT AT CARDIFF. On Tuesday evening at the Cardiff Theatre Royal Mr. Wilson Barrett took the part of Hamlet, a character to which he has given a new render- ing, and that a masterly one. The house was a full one, and every line Mr. Barratt uttered was followed with the closest attention. The imperso- nation wai a signal success. Tbe Ophelia of Miss Jeffries was excellent, all the minor choracters being admirably filled. To-night (Wednesday) Mr. Barrett will play "Othello."

ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLI- GENCE. The Rev. E. Ev«" B.A., of Deri (Gelligaer), has been preferred to till'! living of Pem itb, Pembroke- shire, iu St. David's Diocese. The rev. gentle- man was e(titc.,t ed ;1:' St. David's College, Lampeter, and took his B.A. de. rce there. He was admitted to Holy Orders ah sixteen years ago by the late Bishop of Llandaff (Dr. Ollivant), and hekj bts first curacy under the late Ruv. Canon G. F. C. Harries, the rector of Gelligaer at that time, and who appointed him to t hA De.ri Mission Church subse- quently, where he h-is minisrered for the most part of the time since.

Cuttings and Comments. In the Australian Colony, Victoria, rnilfe is 4Jd. a gallon. Apricot growing ill Damascus is worth to culti- vators between j620,000 and £30,000 a year. There are about 130 duly qualified female medical practitioners in the United Kingdom. Of 3,000 teachers employed in the public schools of Chicago all but 190 are women. Mr. Henry Rroadhurst's charming little resi. dence at the fnot of the Lighthouse Hit! at Cromer is for saie. Official returns show that dentists in America yearly use not less than 1.500ib. of gold in stopping teeth. Such was the compliment paid by a well-known actor when nsked his opinion of the Poet Laureate, whose guest, he had been: Ele keeps the finest brandy I have ever drunk." According to statistics compiled by the police 2,064 stray dogs were captured in the streets of London lust month, while 177 persors-teu police- men and 167 private individuals—were bitten by dogs. Some people are absent-minded. A day or two ago a lady applied for a lost umbndla at the Lost Property Office, Scotland-yard. When it was restored to her she went away leaving behind her another umbrella and a brown paper parcel. Why (asks the Globe) are the pickpockets whose operations were so successful outside the BirkLeck on Monday night like Pharaoh's daughter ? Because they drew a little profit, from the rushes on the bank. The silliness of the silly season seems to be exceptionally silly this year. One daily paper actually finds space for a letter in which a gentle- j man affords the public the highly interesting information that he and his wife were strangers until they met for the first time. Plain hairdressing is coming into fashion on the other side of the Atlantic, much to the horror of many beauties who owe their good looks to a dainty coiffure. The new style is to part the hair in the middle, draw it down smoothly over the eat s, and plait the tresses in a neat coil at the back. Not one face in a hundred can bear this rigid mode. Mr. Henry Irving, who has been staying for some weeks in Cornwall, visiting various points on the const, has secured a valuable find of properties, I which will, no doubt, be of use at the Lyceum. An old man nAcued Fry died recently at Hols worthy,! considerably over 90, who left behind him a store of btocades, silks, hilts of various dates and shapett, &c\ Mr. Irving, baving learnt that these were for sale, secured the lot, and bas had them forwarded to London. The Lick Observatory seems determined to compel us to revise our astronomical acquire- ments, such as they may be. We have all learned (says the Globe) that Jupiter has four moons; now it has been discovered that he has five. Will the Lick observers, one wonders, find out one of these dtys that even our old Earth is better equipped with satellites than we hllve fancied ? It would be dangerous to prophesy, Jung Pasba, the idephant brought over by tho Prince of Wales, was at one time quite a dwarf compared with Jumbo. He has grown and grown, however, until at the present moment he measures only 3in. in height less than the departed favou- rite, an inappreciable difference. Every day the majestic beast may be seen in the Regent's Park Gardens, walking with stately tread round the grounds, carrying a full complement on bis back of little boys and girls and grown-up people. Alice, Jumbo's pattner in captivity, died about five yenrs ago. Still another "unk" with Burns. Mrs. Thomas Lucas, who has just died at Maucbline in her 9Srd year, was, it is said, the last surviving inhabitant who remembered R icer Jess," of Burns's Holy Fair." Mrs. Lucas was born in the Cowgate, where Jess lived with her mother, "Poosie Nancy." Speaking of Jess in his" Burns's Works," Allan Cunitingham says she was a aaaghterofPooNe Nancy," who figures in tha "Jolly Beggars," aod was remarkable for her pedestrian powers, and sometimes ran long distances for a wager. Mrs. Lucas, however, could tell of many a good bard race in front of Jess with no wager at stake. Mr. Edward Lloyd, the famous singer, surprised an inquisitive journalist the other day wkb the information that never, save in the severest weather, does he wear a wrap. On the contrary, he believes in the lowest of collars, and he enjoys, notwithstanding, the best of health. It is said, remarks the Morning Leader, that his voice has been affected only about tbree or four times daring his eleven years' residence in London. Mr. Sims Reeves before his retirement was, on the other hand, a great believer in wraps, and no singer suffered more with the throat. Foli likes a protection of fur, whiist all lady artistes believe in well wrapping up. Patti, indeed, when she has to sing at night, will barely converse with any- body during the day. The remarkable vitality of Mr. Gladstone is equalled by that of his wife. Mrs. Gladstone was 80 in January lust, and she does not know what it is to need spectacles. Both she and her hUB band, when at Hawarden, attend church every morning. The church is three-quarters of a mile from the castle. Mr. Gladstone invariably walks, even when snow is on the ground and the weather is for from fine. Mrs. Gladstone goes in her little pony carriage, which she drives herself. It is said the Grand Old Man has lived his 83 years without knowing what it is to have a headache or to suffer from cold feet. Happy man. One is almost tempted to ascribe to him a charmed personality such as we read of in the less matter-of-fact stories of two or three generations ago. What is believed to be the largest aerolite ever known to have faUen is lying in the Caspian Sea, a short distance from the Peninsula of Apsheron. The aerolite made a terrific noise as it rushed through the air, and the white hot mass made a light that illuminated the country and sea round about for a great distance. When it struck the water immense clouds of steam arose, and the hissing could be heard for a great distance. Huge masses of water were thrown upward, and the eight to those who were not frightened was an exceedingly beautiful one. So enormous is the aerolite that it projects 12ft. above the water, and, save for its fused blnck crust, which gives it fbe appearance of having been varnished, it has every appearance of being one of the usual rock forma- tions met with along the coast. The greatest curiosity of late years, according to the statement of a Texas paper. lives at Oak Hill, a post village. She is a blind girl, who has, from a few acres of land cultivated by herself, cleared 200dols. each season by the sale of vegn- tnh'es. She began, we are told, without capital on an nnfrnced piece of uncultivated land. There is now it neat, fence around her domain, a well and pump in the centre, and, in addition to pur- chasing these, she has paid for a piano and a hack in which to take her vegetables to market, twenty miles away. Every evening during the dry season she waters a certain number of plants until she has gone over vivo entire piece, when she begins again and goes over it in the same way. She detects insect life, we are told, by her acute sense of hearing, and grass and weerls are easily distinguished by the sensitive fingers of the blind gardener. The London shopkeepers tire a puzalo and a worry to American tourists. A Boston la ly writes that the want of the day is a shopper's glossary of terms. In London an American ladv must not ask for a white skirt." but for a top petticoat a skirt here is only used in describing the outer and vieible garment, the inner and more spiritual affairs are all petticoats." Similarly if one speaks of a waist," as Transatlantic phrase is wont to term the upper portion of a dress, the dressmaker will turn on one with a pitying smile and remark, Do you mean a body or a bodice ?" while the American bodice is here an "underwnist." While if a reference is made to corsets," she will correct cne in the same tender fxsliion-" Ob, you mean a pair of stays." As to things not essentially feminine, but still in the woman's department, she gets quite angry over the fact that in London bed-spreads are quilts," even if not" quilted 11 tidies" are "antimacassars," and "window shades" arc "blinds," whether of the roller or ordt r v> t.
