OUR LONDON LETTER FRROWFIS&U TONBOK CORRBSPONDBNTS.] MNDON, FRIDAY. THE MKJJOKRAII ODRS, Alfre<l Austin's ode in the Times is univer- sally admitted to be the bsst of the three that were printed this morning. It 18 more sobolariy and more highly polished. If it was written between the poet/a death and the Times publication, it ia a masterpiece of ready genius. Mr. Austin ia a regn I, r writer of (ine proae on the 'Standard, but when the Duke of Clarence died bis poetry was sent to the Times. Jt would seem that he is now to become the Times' own poet for national occasions. Sir Edwin Arnold being a personal friend of Mr. Gladstone's, it is thought by some he may yet become Laureate, despite his Unionist and Imperialist proclivities. TENTSYSON'S SUCCESSOII. The feeling in favour of Lewis Morris being made Poet Laureate in succession to Tenny- son grows stronger. Swinburne is the greatest post, but he is a .Republican, and could not con- sislpntly accept the post. William Morris, being a Socialist, is ineligible on similar grounds. Alfied Austin being a staunch Tory and Sir Kdwin Arnold a Unionist are not likeiy to be recommended by Mr. Glad- stone. MB. GLADSTONE AND THB AUTUMN CABINETS. Mr. Gladstone will come up to town to the poet's funeral, or, if he should feel incapable, will send ins son. He will come up to town to stay in a fortnight to be on the ground for the autumn Cabinets, which are held ten days earlier than usual. At these Cabinets the legislative projects of the coming session will be discussed and roughly licked into shape LoaD SALISBURY IN TOWN. The arrival of Lord Salisbury and the Marchioness last night was nob un- expected, as one might have supposed by the announcement in the society papers that our ohief would not return till December. Lord Salisbury has all clongintended to be in town this month. He arranged to break his journey from Puys to Beaulieu by calling here. He will remain at Hatfield for a month, at any rate till after he has fulfilled his engagement to speak at the Noncon- formist banquet on November 10. He will then go to Beaulieu, his villa near Nice, and will there remain till it is time to return to Hatfield for Christmas. THE "PALL MALL GAZETTE." The tone of the Gladstonians leaves little now to doubt that under the new proprietory the Pall Mall Gazette will come back to the right side. Gladstonians are now spreading the canard that the Pall Mali is to become a temperance organ to promote the sale of teetotal drinks. Seeing that the new pro- prietor is to pay £ 60,000—not £ 100,000—for the paper, tins is a wide shot. THE INTERNATIONAL ROWING MATCH. The viotory of the Parisian eight over the London Club in the rowing match on the Seine is somewhat discounted by rowing men here. They admit it is a victory for the Parisians to be proud of, and they are glad of it themselves, for this reason, that it will stimulate the Parisians to bring a good crow over to Henley next year. For the defeat of the London crew there are numerous explanations. The Parisians were the pick of three clubs, while the Londoners were all from one club. The Londoners, who are heavy men, were in too small a boat. Then they were stale," and had not the opportunity of praotice on the water they were to race over. Moreover, the i ,ondon Club has had a shock- ing bad season. It has been beaten almost every time it has taken water. The other two representative London clubs—the Thames and the Leander—have both beaten it. The Leander, indeed, is cock of the river, and beat anything that came against it at Henley. This is not surprising, for the Leander is oonfined to university men, and its boat is manned by heroes. There is no doubt that a crew pioked from these three clubs would row down the Parisian eight to nothing. MAlaR Lz CABON What a halo of romance surrounds Major Le Caron. Not of his own inviting, for, per- sonally, he is a most self-contained, modest gentleman. The laat account, although it appeared in the columns of one of the most reputable of the London papers, is absolute romance. It was to the effect that the major had had to retire to the Continent owing to the suspicious proceedings of a man who had been shadowing his residence, and that he is now sunning himself at a fashionable water- ing-place not a thousand miles from the Pyrenees. Nothing of the kind has occurred. I was with the major last Saturday. He was then looking quite well, and chatted away pleasantly about ins new book, which will be out in a day or two. As the major never notices any statement about himself, this last unfounded story would be Uncontradicted but for this. Tau GREAT MILITARY RIDE. Keen interest has been taken here in the great military race between officers of the German and Austro-Hungarian Armies. Seeing that several of the German horses died and that a number had to be literally dragged past the winning post, it is felt that accusations of cruelty are sustainable, On the other hand, the Austro-Hungarians, who did the journey in muoh quicker time than the Germans, carrying off nine out of the first ten prizes, as a rule brought in their cattle in fairly good condition. This may be taken as definite evidence that the Auotrians, and not the Germans, are tbe beat riders. It is thought that the undertaking would hnvn had greater military value had the office*.• tLw two Armies ridden as a squads, i marching order, with the knowledge that th.-y were to parade on arrival and were expected to have their horses in good condi- tion. What can be done in the way of a forced march under ordinary condi- tions was shown by tbe brilliant feat of a troop of the 2nd Madras Cavalry, who in 1888 marched a distance of 814 miles in 154 hours, going through a sham fight mid-way and carrying the ordinary equipment. They finished in such condition that they were all present at a Queen's Jubilee parade on the following day. For mere physical endurance the record is held for Colooel Townley's un- surpassable feat in September, 1849, when he rode 820 miles, between Belgrade and Con- stantinople, in 131 hours. He was then oaptain and Queen's Messenger. All the rest that he had during the five days and eleven hours was six hours sleep and half an hour in changing horses. He was drenched with blood from an old wound that re-opened, and he bad to plough his way through mud and darkness, but he kept on. and has left a record unbeatable. Ma GLADSTONE'S CHOICE OF MINISTERS. The indignant statement of some of the more independent members of the Glad- atonian party that the present Government is an exceptionally aristocratic and plutocratic one has already beeu pretty freely ventilated. It has been shown that there is scarcely a poor or an untitled person in Mr. Gladstone's new Administration. I find, however., that the selection of titled personages for a large proportion of luorative offices in the Administration is only following the regular Gladstonian precedent. In the 1886 Admi- nistration, for instance, there were no less than 26 titled personages, besides baronets and knights, holding offices, small and large, under the Crown. In the 1880 Administration the number of dukes, earls, and lords generally holding office under the Crown was at one period, I think, as high as 80, and out of this 80 at one time no leaathan nine were members of the Cabinet, drawing salaries varying from £2,000 a year to JE20,000 a year. The one exception was that of the Duke of Argyll, who,as Lord Privy Seal, dreiv no salary at all. An examination of the 1868 Ministry shows that the percentage of titled and wealthy personages In the Government at that tune was well up to the 1880 and 1886 averages. The malcontents, therefore, cannot say that Mr. Gladstone has been exceptionally exclusive in the choice of the present A dminis- tration, and, as I have already pointed out, he j has selected at least two men who are neither nlutporAtio nor aristoorfttio, 1

ACCIDENT TO AN EXPRESS TRAiN. BRus&EM, Saturday (JReuter).—The ex-' press train from Ostend, carrying English mails, ran off the line to-day between Bruges and Ghent. The engine-driver and fireman are reported to have been killed, but no fur- ther particulars have yet reached here. BRUSSELS, Later (Rmter).—The accident to the express from Ostend last night occurred at Denderleeuw, between Alost and Brussels. The train went off the line through the breaking of one of the springs of the locomotive. The report that the engine-driver and fireman had been killed is Dot confirmed, but both are seriously hurt. There were no passengers in the first three carriages or the sleeping car, and it is not believed at present that any passenger was injured. Several carriages went off the line.

CURIOUS APPLICATION FOR DIVORCE. VIKNNA,Saturday (Doldel).—Baron Walter has instituted proceedings for a divorce against his wife, an ex-celebrated prima donna. The cause assigned is that the Baroness Walter at the time of her marriage declared her age to be fifteen years less than it was. In this oountry it appears that the wilful mis-statement of age entails the annul- ment of marriage.

THE INTERNATIONAL BILLIARD CHAMPIONSHIP. CHICAGO, Saturday (.Dalsiel).—A billiard match is being arranged between Frank Ives and John Koberts, the American and English champions, The match will take place in London in Januarv next. It will be for JE500 a-side, and the game will be 1,200 points, ex- tending over six days.

ANOTHER DYNAMITE OUTRAGE. BELGRADE, Saturday (Dalzid).—A dyna- mite bomb was exploded yesterday at Alexan- diovatz, in the house of M. Ivesio, a well- known Radical agitator. No clue has been found yet to the perpetrators of the out- rage.

ONE-MILE BICYCLE RECORD. NEW YORK, Saturday (Dalziel). — Mr. Windle, the bicyclist, yesterday lowered the world's mile record, and again put the bicycle record in front of the mile trotting record by making the distance in 2min. 2 3-5sec. He took a flying start.

Eating Poisonous Ice Creom. BELLAXRE (OHIO), Saturday UialHel). — A terrible tragedy has occurred here. Through the eating of poisoned ice cream twelve per- sons are prostrated and in a doubtful state, and three have died. The poison is believed to have been communicated accidentally through the water used.

THE LATE LORD TENNYSON. Funeral Arrangements. The special correspondent of the Press Associa- tion at Haslemere telegraphs this morning:—It was expected that upon the return to Aldworth last night of Dr. Dnbbs, he and the various members of Lord TeniVson's family would finnlly settle tbe funeral arrangements. Dr. Dabbs re- mained at Aldworth all night, and left early this morning for the Isle of Wight. Dr. Dabbs, in a conversation this morning with the Press Asso- ciation represents^' ■■■ stated most emphati- cally that he k, .'1 nothing beyond the fact that the body wouid be removed from Haslemere to London on Tuesday night in readiness for the funeral on Wednesday. During Tuesday night the coffin containing the Poet. Laureate's body will probably be Ilccommndated in the abbey. Dr. Dabbs, in explanation of his inability t,) give information respecting the details of the funeral arrangements, said that nothing had been settled definitely owing to the fact that the Dean of Westminster is expected at Aidworth to-day, when he will have a consultation with the Tennyson family. The dean has been unwell, but has written to "tty hat he has sufficiently recovered from his cold to be able to travel. Lady Tennyson is bearing up well and recovering from her prostration. The 'Press Association states :-Tbe following special Court circular hns been issued by the Court newsman this morning; —" Balmoral, October 7.—Her Majesty received yes^rday with much concern the news of the death of Lord Tennyson, the Poet Laureate, for whom she hnd It sincere regard and great, «dmiration." The Press Association Ha.-lemore correspondent, telegraphing this afternoon, says the removal of the body on Tuesday afternoon from Aldworth to Hoslemre Railway Station will be carried out quite privately. It is not yet decldel1 whether the coffin will bo conveyed to town by special or ordinary train, but there will be nothing in the nature of a procession, either at Haslemere or upon the arrival of the remains of the deceased poet in London. It is not likely that the Hon. Hallam Tennyson will travel with the body, and Lady Tennyson does not propose to attend the funeral. There wili be a procession up the nave of Westminster Abbey on Wednesday, the Hon. Hallam Tennyson nnd Mrs. Tennyson walk- ing immediately behind the coffin as chief mourners. Then will follow their children and Mrs. Birrell, who was formerly Mrs. Lionel Tennyson, r.nd next will come a number of distinguished personages, but it is not yet settled whether the funeral will be attended by the Princo of Wales. The applications for tickets for the ceremony are unprecedontly large, and Mr. Craig, of Messrs. M'Millan and Co, Lord Tennyson's publishers, who has undertaken to deal with the invitations hue been daily at Atdworth since Lord Tennyson's demise. It has been requested that all wreaths and other floral offerings may ba addressed, not to Aldsworth, but to Jerusalem Chamber, at the abbey. Although full details of the service to be observed on Wed- nesday are not completed, it is understood that it will bo fully choral, and in addition to the ant hem Crossing tbe Bar," som<j hymns eelectsd especially by tbe family of the late poet will be eung.

A Whitechapel Mystery. Gruesome Discovery. Ttie Press Association is informed that at a late how on Friday night a parcel containing human remains was found on premises now undergoing alteration in Fiov) er and Doan-street, Whiteelvapol. The discovery was made by a watchman on going his rounds, and he at once communicated with the police. The poiicc are reticent regarding the dis- covery, but it is stated that the remains are those of an adult person. The sex is unknown. Telegraphing this morning the Press Associtu tion says;- Wi! Ii regard to the discovery of three skeletons during the couvse of excavations on aomeunoccupiedground in Whitechapel, it appears that tile first wr,r found on Thursday night, and considerably damaged in the darkness. The fol- lowing morning, duiitig the course of furtiter-ex- cavations, a coffin, containing two more skeletons, was found a little war below the other, but not in any way connected with it. When exposed to the air the coffin, which was of ordinary length, but abnormally wide, dropped to pieces, and the remains, which were placed side by side, but in reversed positions, were not extri- cated without damage. The skull of the upper- most skeleton was battered in, but it is uncertain whether this was caused by a workman's pick or foul play. Fiower and Dean-street, where the discovery was made, was, before the low lodging- houses congregated there were demolished, the ret dczvous of thieves and criminals. The ground was known to possess many ancient cesspits and cellars, the remains of the former tenements, and it is supposed that in one of the former the records of two ghastly crimes had been hidden. The spot had remained undisturbed for over ten years, but the police theory is that the crime is of inlicii older date than this. Tho skeletons were those of adult?, and were in a good state of pre- servation. The remains await a careful expert examination.

SHOCKING FATALITY AT CARDIFF. An Apprentice Torn to Pieces by Machinery. About 9.30 o'clock on Friday evening one of those lamentable accidents which, despite every care, will occasionally happen, occurred at the South Wales Daily News buildings, Cardiff. An ap- prentice, named Edward Williams, 21 years of ago, and son of Mr. E. G. Williams, a Western Mail compositor, living at 93, Eing's-road, Canton, was engaged in shifting the belt- ing of the machinery, when by some means or other he got caught, and was immediately drawn up and entangled in the sliaft gearing. Before the machinery, which was in fall motion, could possibly be brought to a standstill, the poor fellow's brains were dashed out by coming in contact with the coiling which was broken through at that spot by the force of the blow. The body, too, was fearfully mangled, as, in addition to the loss of the head, both arms and legs were broken, while the clotbiug bung in shreds around it. Deceased was con- veyed to the mortuary to await the inquest.

CARDIFF BOARD OF GUARDiANS. Dr. Paine, chairman of the board,.presided at the usual weekly meeting which was heid this morn- ing at the workhouse, and there was a largo attendance of members. APPLICATION BY FATHER BCTLEB. The Rev. Father Butler asked permission to take a young girl of thirteen, Margaret Harrington, who wits an orphan, and subject to fits, and never bad an opportunity of being educated in her faith to a Catholic institution, where ahe would be properly trained without any expense to the board.—The guardians unanimously acceded to the application, and also gava the necessary outfit. WATBB AT ELY 8CS OM. A report was presented showing that the con- sumption of water at Ely Schools was largely on the increase.—Councillor F. J. Beavan 6«gge»tcd the advisability of ascertaining whether they should not be allowed n portion of the water consumed under the trade tariff as distinct from that under which water was supplied for domestic purposes.- It was resolved that the clerk obtain all the neces- sary information with regard to tho supply of water required for drinking and cleaning purposes, Councillors Beavan and Mildon to bring the matter before the corporation if necessary. ASSESSMENT APPEALS. It was reported that Mr. Charles Rigg, of High- street, Cardiff, boing dissatisfied with the decision of the assessment committee respecting the amount of their assessment to the poor rates of his dwelling-house and promises, known as Plasbyrn, in the parish of Whitchurch, intended to appeal ag;.iris»t it at the next quarter-sessions for the county of G)amorgan.—Tt)B Chftirman stated that, in case the appeal was made, the board had no alternative but to oppose it. This was apparently the unanimous opinion of the board, and the clerk was instructed accordingly. — A similar notice of appeal was received from the Dowlais Iron Company agaiust being rated and assessed as occupiers of land, blast furnaces, and appur- tenances in the parish of Roath, ir. the poor rates of the pariah made on the 17th of November, 1891, and 30th of May, 1892.-The board decided to oppose this appeal also.

The PERMANENT RELIEF FUND. Important Declaration by "Mabon" In the course of an address delivered at the Con- gregational Chapel, Pontypridd, on Thursday evening. Mr. W. Abraham (" Mabon"), M.P., declared that it was almost a calamity that, such a fund as the Permanent Relief Fund should be wanting in contributions to mefit necessities created by the dangers of underground lifo. VVlien people for a moment thought that the landlords received as royalties from these collieries such an enormous sum as £ 7,000,000 per annum, it was not to their credit that a noble institution such as the Permanent Relief Society should be lacking for funds, and it was their duty to see that it should be backed up by sums of money from their own exchequer. True, there were a few among these i> >b!e gentlemen, such as the Marquess of Bute, Lord Aberdare, Lord Tredegar, and a few others, who acted the gentlemen and came forth with splendid donntions and subscriptions in a magnanimous manner, but more ougbt to be done by the class to which they belonged. (Hear, hear.) Ha did not agree with some of his friends who be- lieved that any wilfnl neglect was caused by the retributions of masters to the Permanent Relief Fund, but if the employers wished to place their conduct beyond question, let them say that they were prepared to place their contributions at the disposal of the workmen without asking the latter to contract themselves out of the Employers' Liability Act. (Cheers.) He hoped they would see their chance to do this in the immediate future. It wns a very opportune moment for them to do so, without divulging any secrets, he was in a posi- tion to state that it was ih.i intention of the present Government in tho immediate future to bring forward an Employers' Liability Hill which would innke it impossible for any master to con- tract the workmen out of its provisions. (Ap- plauso.) He hoped, therefore, that the employers would take advantage of the present opportunity so as to remove the excuse. that was being made use of, that they were relieved from their respon- sibilities because they subscribed towards the relief fund. (Hear, hear.) If Pontypridd people had not already contributed their mite towards relieving some of the distress now prevalent, he would appeal to them, on behalf of the widows and orphans, to do so. He hoped they would not mind for the moment who would distribute the money, for he believed that a discussion on that matter was somewhat premature, and might pre- vent some good people from contributing at all. (Applause.)

The largest sailicg vessel which has visited the port is now at Barry Dock. Her name Is the Andorinha, and she belongs to Messrs. Roberts, of Liverpool. She is 3,263 tons register and 3,444 tons gross, and is 346ft. in length by 46ft. and 25ft. Sin. This is her first cargo, and she will pro- ceed for Messrs. Cary Bros. (Limited), Cardiff, to Rio de Janeiro. The Andorinha carries a cargo tonnage of 5,300. She may be inspected by the public to-day (Saturday) and on Sunday, subject to a small fee, which will be devoted to the funds of the nursing association and cottage hospital.

j i* DAY BY DAY. y I Tlie name of the secretary to the Gordon Hos- pital in London is John Jones—evidently an Italian. Birds of a feather club together. I weut to Mr. Jones, Rs-ist&nt to Dr. Evans," said a witness at Hackney yesterday. "Don't put too much on the slioulders of will- ing hands," said the chairman of the painterf meeting at Barry the other night. The numerous paintings bearing the name of R Short," familiar to Cardiff people, aro from the brush of Captain Short, of the firm of Short and Dunn, shipowners, Cardiff. Two members of the deputation nppointed to interview the Barry directors yesterday were pressmen, and General Manager Evans wouldn't have them at any price. Tiu;^ Welsh M.P.'n—Mr. Stuart Rendei, Mr. Samuel Smith, and Mr. Rathbone—have been seek- ing relaxation and rest in Scotland, where there is less howling fcr disestablishufent than in Wales. "If an insect were crawling over me," said a speaker at the painters' meeting, 1 would, with- out remorse, pat my foot on i:. and crush it.' But (says the South Wales Star) suppose it was crawling on his nose?" Newport wit! beat Swansea, Cardiff will beat Moseley, Oldham will beat HaneDy, are tlie Lon- don Star's tips for to-day. The Evening News and Post makes Moseley beat Cardiff, and Swindon beat the London Welsh. Mr. Gladstone has consented to cut the first sod of the new Connab's Quay and Deeside Railway next Friday week. This will bring North Wales within lialf an hour's ride of Liverpool, but it is doubtful whether it will bring tbe" G.O.M." any nearer disestablishment. Now, what do Mabon and Mr. Alfred Thomas intend doing in regard to disestablishment ? Sir Edward Reed practically says that he washes his hands of it; and as "Mabon" and Alfred declare they will follow Sir Edward, they, also, seem to be in the washing business. Trades Union 'bus companies do not seem to flourish in South Wales. Tho Swansea and Dis- trict 'Bus Company is to be wound up—if the application is successful at the next court. At Cardiff the working men's 'bus company has come to grief the same week. We are asked to state that Mr. Charles Jones's fine picture, "A Cold Day in the North," now shown at the art exhibition at Cardiff, does not in any way refer to the manner in which the Welsh disestablishes "got left" when Mr. Glnd- stoae was recently in North Wales. A good Coogregaitonalist writes to the Congre- gationalist paper to say that the latter had made a terrible mistake in giving the membership of his Church as six, instead of 340. Our friend the enemy must have wandered to the chapel on a week-day and counted the pillars. At Cardiff the water and gas are owned by the corporation," says a Barry paper. If our contem- porary means the gas we burn and pay for, it is unfortunately, wrong; but it might have been right if it had not been for the shortsighted oppo- sition of penny-whistle economists, who dont kaow a bargain when they see one. A variant of the "sut i chwi heddyw story is to band. Said quickly and carelessly it sounds like Shoot-a-canary," and an Englishman who settled in the Rhondda, aed was saluted by a neighbour with the Welsh for "How are you 0-day?" retorted threateningly with, You shoot my canary, and III shoot your cat." Here is a bright now story told by "Observer in the Evening Express s—" Dear me," said a com- mercial visitor to Cardiff the other day, people seem to start business vory early in life in Cardiff." Wby, how's that?" asked bis coal-shippiug friend. Well, I have become used to '3. Andrews and Soft' all over the place, bat, look you, there's actually Andrews and BAn on that office win- dow!" Writing from Beresford House, Swansea, the stipendiary magistrate ofSwansea writes :—" Dear Sic,—-In vour very pleasant paragraph relating to my son's new Life of Julias Caesar,' for which I thank you, there is one little error. He is not a clergyman. I wiU not, however, trouble you with a letter about «ueb a trifle. He ts sub-rector of Linoeln College, but a layman.—Tours very faith- fully, JNO. CoKE FOWLER." This season's doings of the Cardiff Parliamentary Society are intended to make matters go with a whirr. A tremendous start will be made next Monday night with a dinner (a couple of Imperial legislators are expected to be present to tell how they do it at Westminster), and the following night the debaters will take sides and seats at the Crown Court. Debates will turn on questions of direct local interest, and some stern ftgfets are expected. When our London correspondent interviewed fMr. Ben Davies respecting the "Cigarette" inci- j dent he found the vocalist hanging pictures. Ben ebeerily welcomed the newspaper man, and, stand- ing on the step-ladder, he turned his dust-covered handsand jocularly observed, You sea, I can't shake hands." The incident was repeated in the interview. The historian of the Cardiff Festival deals with it in this way :—" Mr. Ben Davies was promptly interviewed, and, although the meeting did not appear to be particularly cordial, he apolo- gised, said the interviewer, with charming naivete, 'for not taking my outstretched hand, and the pressman got little sympathy from the talented tenor." Phis is what passes for history in festival circles, and the narrative throughout is characterised by the same utter disregard for truth. Mr. David Morgan affects to believe that the existence of the Miners' Provident. Fund makes the colliery owners negligent of the lives of the* r workmen. Of course, this is the veriest rubbish ever talked by man, even by Mr. David Morgan but will Mr. Morgan, for a change, give a thought to the wanton negligence of some of the colliers themselves? Pipes, tobacco, and matches down the pit don't look very much like carefulness, either of colliers' lives or of owners' property. The Welsh for pigs is mdeh bat mooh's with a short o has another meaning. It is a libel en our Pembrokeshire and Anglesea fellow- countrymen to call them Sir Benfro," and "Môch Moa" (Pembrokeshire and Anglesea pigs). Mochnant is a rapid mountain torrent "Môch Mon" and wM6ch Sir Benfro" would be the sharp-witted men of Anglesea and Pembroke- shire. Pembrokeshire and Anglesea both agree in this, for we beard tremendous cheers in the com- positors' room when this was put in type. "I notice in your issue of Friday," writes Evangelist Seth Joshua, a paragraph relating to the work at Neville-street-hall, Canton, over Mr. Marsh's premises. Kindly allow me to correct your correspondent. No concert has taken place recently; there were no coffins in the room; and if your correspondent will but caM on Sunday next at 11.0, 2.30, or 6.30, he will see enough to convince him that this particular part of the evangelistic movement is not dead."—J_We imagine that Mr. Joshua and our correspondent are not writing of the same evangelistic movemenc.] A week ago a Swansea paper printed the fol- lowing advertisement:—"Sir,—Will you be so kind as to publish in your paper that I, John Hanford, will meet Richard Ambrose where and when he" got a mind to P Not that I want to make a distur bance, but simply because I see two men on to one." When we gave the par in this column it was seen by Mr. John Hanford, 3, David's-row, Cwm- avon, and formetlyof Swansea. Mr. Hanford now writes to us:—" Please state that I never made the challenge, nor authorised any person to do so, neittier have I any desire to enter into any such arrangement." A famous R.A., who spent a considerable part of his time in North Wales, sent into the RoyaJ Academy Exhibition the picture of three pigs. feeding from the same trough. The first pig was busily demolishing the food, the second had turned round to stars at the spectator, and the third was pushing the second with its head. The annua excursion of Lord Penrhyn's workmen took a lot of Carnarvonshire people in front of the picture, and one quarryman declared he knew whose pigs they were. An old Ebenezer pig-drover remarked that "the pigs were grand pigs," but the picture was no good at all, for never in my lifo did I see three pigs feeding from one trough without one pig having one or two legs inside tbe trough." Tlie North Wales papers must not copy this without acknowledging the source. A correspondent writes that all that has appeared in this column j referring to North Wales be has read a few days ttM m fchaJacaAjweeklie* of the narfcli- I

Cuttings and Comments. The House of Lords is to be lighted throughout by electricity. Hong Song lias a population of soovu 214,320 natives and 10,500 Europeans. The United Kingdom's output of coal annually is estimated at something like 180,000,000 tons. Through the efforts of the British and Foreign Bible Society the nibje is now printed in 330 languages and dialects. Six of tha Meath Hunt pack of foxhounds were on Thursday poisoned at Ballinto, near Navan, where a meet wns being held. Dr. Parker has issued a private circular announc- ing his retirement, for a time at, leapt, from the Congregational Union. A Mdme. Levassour, of Havre, yesterday gave birth to four children—three boys and a girl-all of whom died in a few hours. The iftte Mr. Spurrell, of Brighton, has left £ 30,000 to thu Chu:ch Mtsiiounry Society and £20,000 to the Church Pastoral Aid Society. At the close of the quarter euding the 30th nIl., there were, excluding warships, 385 vessels ot 678,780 tonsfiTosa under construction in the United Kingdom. Scotch tradesmen have received orders from the Queen to make several dresaes, some of the Tartan pattern, for the wedding trousseau of the Princess Marie of Edinburgh. Mr. Joseph Whitehead has completed the portrait marble bust of the late Mr. W. H. Smith for the City Corporal ion, and the same will be placed in the Guildhall on Wednesday next. Dr. Dabbs, the medical attendant of Lord Tenny- son, will be remembered by many as having achieved a sucoe68 in another walk in life. In 1889 Her Own Witness," from his pen, was produced at a Criterion matinee. While the settled income of the London Hospital yields only a little more than £20,000 a year, its ordinary annual expenditure exceeds £51,000. Last year thew were no less than 8,842 patients in the words of the institution. Mora protection Now it is bottles which are required to pay their footing before entering Victoria. Eveu the little Id. ink bottle is to be taxed at the rate of 3d. per dozen. Bicycle lamps also are not to be allowed to escape. Mr. A. J. Balfour and his brother, Mr. Gerald Balfour, Mr. Herbert Gladstone, Hon. G. Leveson- Gower, and the Duke nnd Duchess of Westminster and the Duchess of Hamilton were among the notabilities at the Leeds Festival on Thursday. Education," said Mr. Joseph Cowen, to a New- castle audience recently, "should embrace tbe culture of the whole man, subject bis understand. ing to reason, his passion to restraint, and qualify him to fulfil with exactitude, ability, and devotion the duties of life." "Tennyson (Alfred), Baron Tennyson," appro" priates at present as many as 52 pages of tba British Museum catalogue. This is the largest space occupied in the catalogue by any celebrity of our time. Gladstone comes next with 22 pages. Dean Bradley, who bas been spending a holiday in Spain as the guest of Sir John Pender, arrived at Southampton on Thursday. The very first matter that be will have to consider on his return to town will be the arrangements in connection with the funeral of Lord Tennyson in Westminster Abbey. The Globe on the great ride :—" Apropos of tbat disgraceful exhibition of cruelty to animate, we have observed with the keenest satisfaction the announcement from Vienna that Count Konigs- marck, one of the German competinorf, l'tll into a ditch. We are-sorry, however, to bear that be has not stayed there, but is coming on by mil. HI The price of sealskin has advanced at an ex- traordinary rate. Doubtless the Behring Set dtfE- culties are really responsible for it. A pound nn inch" is the estimate given by a competent lady expert as the woitb of really first-class sealskin. With other furs, of which sable and lynx are among the favourite varieties, the prospect of unusual demand during the coming winter may account for their enhanced price. There has been some misapprehension as to the charges alleged to be imposed for tuition in the Sims Reeves Class at the Guildhall SchooL Tha pupils have to pay six guineas eaeh per term of twelve half-hour lessons. A resolution of the common council permitted Mr. Reeves to make any charge not exceeding JBI 10s. per hour, but the fees have wisely been fixed upon a more moderate scale. Dr. John Clark, who attacked the vivisectionists at the Church Congress, is one of the leadiug bomoeopatJiic practitioners in London, and lives at Clarges-street, Piccadilly. He has written several popular medical books, he edits one of the magazines devoted to the system of medicine which he advocates, and ho has for a number of years taken a prominent part in the medical work at the Homoeopathic Hospital. Dr. Pierson's observations at Philadelphia on Thursday should do something (says the Pall Mall Gazette) to clear the present somewhat hazy atmosphere nt the Metropolitan Tabarnacle. It has been said that the doctor was prepared to abjure Presbyterianism to take Mr. Spurgeon's place. He now states that, this is false, and that he will neviT turn Baptist or be immersed." This is straight and to the point. Is the fame of Tcimyson really so widespread in France, as the story which M. Renan told the Welsh Archaeological Association the other da.y would seem to hnpty ? The story was given or; Lord Tennyson's own authority:—" Taking a tour through Brittany, as you are doing now, he spent a night at Lannion. When he called for his bill in the morning the woman who kept the inn refused to receive a penny, remarking, • Oh no, sir. Have y u not been tho bard of our King Arthur P'" The Scotch legal patronage that fell to the late Government during their six years of office represents (according to a Scotch law maguzine)- aometbing like £50,000 per annum. The appoint ments embraced seven out of the thirteen judges of tho Court of Session (including the two prizes of the profession, the Lord Presidentship and the Lord Justice Clerkship), four Lords-Advocate and Solicitors-General,.about a score of Sheriffs and Sheriff Substitutes, and a largs number of other lucrative offices, M). Ernest Ge lge left London on Friday for East Africa, en route to Uganda as special correspondent of ) he Times. Mr. Godgo was formally in the ser- vice of tho British East Africa Company, having gone out in the latter part of 1888, and accompanied Mr. F. J. Jickson the following year on his expe- dition to Uganda. Mr. Gedge remained behind in Uganda until the arrival of Captain Lugard in December, 1890, and then returned to England. Since his return he has had no connection with the company. "It is significant," the Daily Telegraph con- siders, of that want of human prescience, that in the Anuuul Register for 1809 no mention is made of the births of the two prominent English- men—Lord Tennyson and Mr. Gladstone—who came into the world in thnt year." The remark is really colossal in its fatuity. Dees ourcontem- porary think, asks the Globe, that the" Annua Register should have chronicled the additions to the family of every provinciftt merchant and country clergyman ? Colonel Cody, is, no doubt, a most, excellent person in a circus, but he seems to have been rather disposed to fill the Daily Chronicle's ingenuous interviewer up to the brim with inte. resting details. He h reported to have told the interviewer that one of his principal feats was to have ridden ten miles on twenty ponies in twenty minutes. But it is really nothing. We once knew a man who roOo a thousand miles on a thousand ponies in a thousand minutes. Mr. Cody's Muncbattsenisms want finish." •" Richard Milnes,' said Carlyle one day, with- drawing bis pipe from his mouth, as they were seated together in the little house in Cheyne-row, • when are you gokig to get that pension for Alfred Tennyson i" My dear Carlyle,' responded MiInes, 'thething is not so easy as you sopposo. What wi!] my constituents say if I do get a pension for Tennyson ? They know nothing about him or his poetry, and they will probably think he is some poor relation of my own, and that the whole affair is n job.' Solemn and emphatic was Carlyle's response. Richard Milnos, on the Day of Judg- ment when the Lord asks you why you didn't get that pension for Alfred Tennyson, it will not do to lay the blame on your constituents; it is ymi that wiJJbe damned.

Rothschild has had a lot of bad luck with his horses this season. and it has become quite a statutory announcement In tho "latest scratchings" that all his horses have been struck out of such and such engagement* "except Shush an," which has had four unsuccessful tries this season, and ought to be improving upon those performances if he ia to win the prieo of hrs winter's corn. At the Egyptian-hall, Piccadilly, on Friday, the third and last spot-barred game of the series, in which Roberts is conceding W.
