HACiAL DIFFERENCES IN AMERICA. A Mob Tak?s Possession of a Town. DAJLTON (G KOHGI A), Tuesday (Dakiel).— A band of maskei men, 150 in number, sur- rounded this town yesterday, and took entire possession of it. They captured and looked up the small force of poLce without resis- tance, then they proceeded to shoot one negro and fatully llo» two others. The negroes were driven from the town and notified that they would be shot it they returned. The rising is diia to the high-handed way in which the negroes have been acting of late and the invincible determination of the whites not to submit to their domination, however they may ontnamber their former masters in voting cower. Among the mob were many respectable citizens.

"THE IKON-HEADED MAliVEL" AT CARDIFF. INTERESTING INTERVIEW. A Western Mail man who went to the Cardiff Empire on Monday night was so struck with the wonderful performance of Andrew Hull, "the Iron-headed Marvel," that aftsr the show ho buttonholed him and requested some facts. The iron-headed man was not eager to respond—having granite blocks smashed on your head doesn't exactly act as a stimului to one's loquacity—and, moreover, Andrew isn't inclined to brag, but our reporter'^ persuasive powers overcame the young athleto's reluctance to speak of himself. Yes," he said, "it is a novel entertainment, and, although 1 don't wj¡;b to boast, I will defy any other man to perform my feats of stone- breaking." Hav-j 1 been in the show business long/' you ask, Well, just half my life I commenced when I was founeen-ran away from school, and joined a circus. No, I have not always been in this particular lino. I have done turus a3 a eparrer Ij won the light-weight championship of Phila- dedpuia, have acted as comedian and wrestlc", I w-s with John L. Sullivan at that time, and then I usud to give an exhibition of bending bars of iron, breaking chains and 2in. planks on my head, and so torth. How did I get into this line," you ask. Well, curing the tiina I was performing the tricks 1 have just mentioned I saw a man in Now York having stones broken on his chest, and, thinking I could do better than that, I commenced to train by putting smull stones on my head and employ- ing a Hiau to break them with a hammer. From small stones I got to large ones. Tho first large stone I experimented with war. a block of granite weighing 1231b. it was broken on my head by a man employed in a foundry, and it is a curious incident that I have never done the feat more successful than I did on the lirst occasion," And since then," remarked the newspaper man, you have done good business." Yes, I've knocked about a bit. have been in Australia, ileriin, Vienna, and Pari?, and now I'm going to London to the Aquarium." "This is your first engagement in this country, is it not ?" Yes; Mr. Stoll was the first manager to book me. I was, as no doubt you are aware, at Swansea last, week; for the next five nights I am here, and next week I shall be at Newport. From there I go to the Aquarium, London, where I com- mence a twelve months' engagement on the 14th of November." Does the performance hurt you at all ?" "Not in the slightest. You come to me after my next performance, and you will bo able to judge for yourself." The Western Mail man did so. He watched Hull go through his feats—allowing a heavy block of granite, a foot thick, to be placed on his head, whilst a strong armed individual from the audience smashed the block with several blows of a sledge hammer, bending iron bars between his teeth and on his head, splitting a 2in. plank on his bare skuli, and driving a spike, fashioned like an iron nail but blunt. Then he went auaiu to this veritable iron-headed marvel, and found him as cool and composed as if he had been juggling a couple of brass bails. There is no mistake about it Mr. Stoll h..s secured a btJ man, and if the Empire is not crowded every night then enterprise goes for naught in Cardiff.

Mr. Gladstone's Court- ship. AN INTERESTING STORY. Mis. Gadabout, in this month's Winter's Mayu^ine tells a characteristic story of the Premier. She says:— I had the edification not many days ago of going to see a very old lady, fnst nearing her hundredth birthday. She is not like some (Id ladies who live through a sort. of second childhood, for she is s.1 keen as a hawk and sharp as the proverb.al needle, We naturally anougii got talking about many men and many tilings. "I see Willio Gladstone's got in again," she said, with an air as though "Willie Gladstone" might be no more than five-anu-twenty. "011, yes," I answered, oh, yes. It must be a great strain, at his time of day, to undertake such a post ns the Premiership." Well, I don't know," she said. I knew Willie Gladstone a gient many years ngo; he married Katie Glynne-let me see, it must have been in '38 or '39,1 faucy-I remember that the affair come off when he was staying at a big shoot— before the days of battues, my dear, but still a big shoot—with some people in Norfolk. Well, I hap- pened to be staying with my husband and children, about a coupl, ot miles from theso people, and knowing Willie Gladstone pretty well ia London, I was much surprised to see him on one of my drives. He said he was staying with some charming people in the neighbourhood, and that ho would briJ:g the ladies over to call on me. How- ever, he did not do so, although lie called one day with a young lady whan I happened to be ou:. They left no cards, and I, of course, did not return the visit. A few days afterwards I happened to meet him, when he said, Oh, Mrs. R-, I've got such news to tell you—I'm engaged to the loveliest woman in the world, and,' he said,' I've been over to Norwich on business, and,' holding up a little parcel, I what do you tink I've got here ?' '•Well,' I said, 'how in the world should I know ?' He said, 'I've got flowers for her to wear at dinner to-night. She'd the loveliest little woman I ever saw in my life! If anybody had toid me, six months ano, that I should be engaged to tiie loveliest little woman I ever had seen, I shouldn't have believed it. But there, I've got tier—I'm the happiest man in the world, Mrs. H- I told my old friend that I was very pleased to hear it, that I hoped he and the boautiful Miss Glynne, whom I knew by hearsay, would be.very, very happy together. I must bring her over to see you,' he went on. I shall be charmed,' I said. However, it happened, a few days later, that we had down from town, staying with UP, one of our most Bohemian friends, and also It girt staying in the house who was singularly little moved by matters of dress and fashion. We-my husband and 1—went out with our children and our visitors and we went down to a quaint little fishing village on the Norfolk Coast, not many miles' drive from our temporary home. and we spent an idyllic day. It was in the beginning of October. Oli, dear," the old lady went on, "I remember so well what a bad cold I had what a cold I had one of tho; e colds, you know, that take hold of you and last, for a fortnight. Well, we had great fun, nevertheless. Each of the children had their handkerchiefs full of cockles-do you know how to find cockles, my dear r" No," I told her, I don't." Well, then, I'll tell you," said my old friend. You put on generally your oldest frock and your flattest heeled shoes—in those o.-yd our heels were sensible—and you take a child's spade, and either a basket or a handkerchief, as circumstances admit of-we had pocket-handkerchiefs that day. You then walk along the wut sand just deserted by the turn of the tide, and as you walk along and keep your eyes well about you, you will see little jets of water spout out of the sand. Underneath each jet of water you will find a cockle; he's generally large, and luscious, and fat. There is no mistake about his freshness, for he's generally alive and almost hifking. Well, we had no thought ot the grand people with wlio-n Willie Gladstone was staging-, or of their being in the little village at all, nnd I'm ashaiued to sav we met a man on the attempt, at a sea wall who was selling fresh shrimps, and our Bohemian friend from town invested in a few pennyworth. And we all walked gaiiy towards the hosteliy, where we had put up our trap,munching away at our shrimps and revelling in the treat we meant to have with our cockles; when round the corner loomed a. tall, majestic and a little tiny, rather waddling, figure. I shall never forget ir. It was Willie Gladstone and Katie Glynne I shall never forget it as long as 1 live, for it was too sodden to get gloves on to damp hands, to hide pocket-handkerchiefs crammed full of cockles, nnd that awful bag of shrimps, which we couldn't even throw away. And Willie was profound in his ad- miration of our simple country tastes. Don't you think, darling', lie said to her, that as you have got an old pair of gloves on, you had better come with me and gather cockles also ?' Mrs. Gladstone in those days was not as great an adept as she is now at hiding her feelings. SItA gave a sickly sort of smile, and she looked up at, him with an adoring glance-but, she didn't seem to see going hunting for cockles. They never came to call upon me, and I never saw any more of them from that day to this. Dear, dear, think of Willie Gladstone being Prime Minister again- it's wonderful

DICKENS'S PUNCTUALITY. Iu the November number of the Ladies' Horte Journal of Philadelphia, Miss Mamie Dickens begins a sarins of papers with the title of rlly Father as I Recall Him." Dickens was The Man Who Was Always in Time. Unpunctuality, indeed, was the sin against Dickens :-There ntver existed,! think, in all the world, a n.ore thoroughly tidy or metho- dical creature than was my father. Ho was tidy in every wiiy-in his great, generous, and noble mind, I in his handsome and graceful person, in his work, I in keeping his writing-table drawers, in his large correspondence—in tact. in his whole life. I ie- member that my sister and I occupied a little garret room in Devonshire-terrace, at the very top ot the house. He had taken the greatest pains and care to make the room as pre'ty and comfortable for his two little daughters as it could be made. He was often dragged up the steep staircase to this room to see some new print or some new ornament which we children had put up, and lie always gave us words of praise and approval. He encouraged us in every posaibieway to make ourselves useful, and to adorn and beautify our rooms with our own hands, and to be ever tidy and neat. I remember that the adornment ot this garret was decidedly primitive, the unframed prints being fastened to the wall by ordinary while or black pins, which- ever we co;)id get. But never mind, if they were I put up neatly and tidily they were always excel- lent," or quite slap-up," as he used to say. Even in those early days lie mado a point of visiting every room in the house once each morning, and if a chair was out of its place, or a blind not quite straight, or a crumb left on the floor, woe betide the offender. And then his punctualit y it, was almost, frightful to an unptiiietu-I mind! This again was another phase of his extreme tidiness; it was also the outcome of his excessive thought- fulness and consideration for others. His sympathy also with all pain and suffering made him quite invaluable in a sick room. Qaick, active, sensible, bright, and cherry, and sympathetic to a degree, he would seize the case at once, know exactly what to do, pud do it.

A PRIMA DONNA'S EARLY VOW. There is an interesting account or history (in a Parisian paper) of tiie receipt by which the French medical profession have acknowledged the sum of £ 1,000 sent by Madame Christine Nilsson towards founding a hospital especially intended for the cure of diseases of the throat. Such munificence on the part of the once famous singer is the result of an early vow. Madame Nilsson, who some years since shared the laurels cf the London it:.liau operatic season with Madame Adelina Patti, can- not boast of having be,'n one of the spoiled children of fortune. Her parents were very poor, and wa are told she had often to shiver under tho cold blast of wintry Sweden. When she was about seven years of nge she way attacked with croup, and had to be conveyed to a small hospital at Chrisna. Such attention was paid to her that she was able to escape tilo danger which at one time threatened her. Hence the vow and its fulfilment,.

Robert Franz, whose death yesterday at the ase of 77 is announced from Hollo, was acknowledged to be one of the foremost musicians of Germany while his fame as a song-writer and as editor of the scores of the great masters had ex- tended far beyond the bounds of the Father- land. Even amid the fierce controversy which ensued when at the Birmingham Festival of 1885 Dr. Richter replaced Mozart's version of Handel's "Messiah" by tne rditior of Ftanz, which is now almost unanimously adopted in Germany, the artistic teauty of his songs wa. recognised and ai-knowiedgud by the fiercest of his anlHgonitfts. In the estimation of iis fellow-countrymen and of many cultured Englishmen and Americans, the lieder of Robert Franz rank with those o." Schu- mann, if not of Schubert himself. The last member of the Chambers family of Edinburgh passed away yesterday in London in the person of Mrs. W. H. sister of William and Robert Chambers, the founders of the great publishing house. Mrs. Wills, who after an illness of some weeks, has been released from her suffer- ings at the ripe age of nearly 80. was a no'able person in her time. Her husband, the late Mr. W. H.

ALLEGED SALE AT WEKN FARM, LL AS THIS ANT. AN EXPLANATION. In Monday's issue of the Western Mail appeared an advertisement announcing the saieof stock and implements under a distress for rent at Worn Farm, L!antrisant, on Thursday next. It has sub- sequently transpired that the advertisement w.:s merely the outcome of a cunning scheme for the obtaining of money by false pretences. The circumstances are described in another column. In justice, however, to the tenant, who is I' wronged by this cruel deception, we con- sider it necessary to state that there is not the slightest foundation for the statements made to the auctioneer, Mr. A.

THE EATE DR. SAUNDERS. PREL JM IN AR Y FUN EILU, OBSEQUIES. The preliminary funeral obs quies attendant upon the interment to-day (Tuesday) of the late Dr. Saunders, of Swansea, took place or Monday evening. The body of the deceased divine was placed in the cofTrn on Friday at the resi- dence of his sou, the Rev. J, M. Saundei", Windscr-road, Penarth, where at night a solemn devotional service was held. Many triends of the dsceased were present—brother ministers who had worked side by side with him during life now assembled to pay nearly the last tribute of respect they could show — membeis of his church by whom as pastor he had always been beloved, and numerous friends of privav life, together with relatives, had gathered at the iiouss. The service opened with the Rev. Wm. Lewis, Cdvinisiic Methodist minis- ter, of Pontypridd, raiding a portion of Scripture, after which the Rev. G. Davis, Bipii-<t minister, Penaith, and the Rev. J. Morgan Jone-, Cardiff, engaged in prayer. Then, and by the special desire of Mrs.Sauuders (widow of the deceased), the pathetic Welsh hymn, "Mae 'Nghyfoiliion M) ned," was suns, and the simple service con- cluded. The coffin. which is of panelled oak, with massive mountings of brass, bearing the simple in- scription David Sauuders, born 1831, died 1892,' was then placed in the hearse and taken to Penarth Dock Station. In a mourning coach fol- lowing the hearse wore Mrs. Saunders (widow), the Rev. J. M. Saunders (son), Mrs. Saunders (daughter-in-law), and Mrs. Jono? (Swansea), while the procession iunmedialely behind included the Revs. Wm. Lewis (Pontypridd). G. Davis (Penarth;, J. Morgan Jones (Cardiff), John Pu^h (Cardiff), John G.iffiihs (Car- diff), 1. Stalbersr (Penarth), and George I Harris (Cardiff), Mr. William Julian (London), Mr. Jacob Hughes (PeniM'th), Mr. Samuel John (Pe: arth), Mr. Price (Penarth), Mrs. Powell (Car- diff), Mrs. Samuel Jones (Penarth), Mrs. Price (Penarth), and Miss Jones (Penarth). At the statiou the collin was carried shoulder high to the coach at toe rear of the Cardiff train, in which the mourners took seats. On arriving at the Taff V .ie station, Cardiff, the coach contain- ing the body was attached to the 7.40 train for Aberda: e, which was reached about nine o'clock. The funeral party were met by cariiage*, and the collin was taken to B.tliania Calvinistic Methodist Chnpel of which Dr. Saunders was for many years the beloved pastor. To-day's funeral obs<quies commence wilh a service in the chapel rot 1.30, when the Rev. William James, Aher- dare, an old friend of the deceased, w;ll have charge of the arrangements, and a number of prominent ministers will deliver addresses. At the conclu- sion of this service the funeral cortege will be formed, and will pioceed to the cemetery, which is distant about It miles. A short service will be held over the open grave, and in ti,e evening the Uev. T. C. Edwards, M.A., D.D., will preach a. funeral sermon. Special hymns selected for the ¡ sad occasion will be sung at the various services,

Siii, — 1 observe in to-day's Western Mail that Mr. John Chappell is reported to have said at a meet- ing of the Labour Progressive League held in the Spiott Ward la,t night in ref rence to myself That Mr. Shackell, the Liberal member for the ward, promised to support the labour programme, and they accepted his word of lionour." lie then goes on to say that I only kept my word for three days. I pass over the latter por- tion of his remarks, in which he accuses me of beir.g in the council for the pur- pose of advertising the company in which I am interested, as I feel confident that my public career is a sufficient answer to such a charge ot unworthy motives. With regard, however, to his etatement re.-pTting the Labour programme, I must emphatically deny his assertion, as up to Tuesday last I had not even seen a copy of the programme referrad to, and have never yet ex- pressed any opinion it. I have bean attacked in this manner I wish paiticularly to call attention to the following points in connection with my votos in the town council. 1. I have voted for balding the meetings of the council in the evening on every occasion when the subject came forward for discussion. 2. I gave my vote in favour of paying the cor- poration masons 9d. per hour pending the settlo uvnt of tho strike. 3. I voted for immediately proceeding with the building of the now sanatorium. 4. I culled the attention of the watch committee to the fact that picketing was perfectly legal, a: d objected to the undue interference of the police with tl.osc who endeavoured by fair persuasion to induce imoitod men not to take employment in I' the town whi'e th strike was unsettled. I have on marv other occasions snken nn activo part in matters having for their object the welfare of the working classes, and may be. per- mitted to point out that the establishment of branch reading-rooms in various par:s of the town is largely due to my effort*.

ENGLAND AND UGANDA. THE PROPOSKD EVACUATION. SOLEMN PROTEST FROM AN ENGLISH BISHOP. The Press Association has received from the Church Missionary Society a copy of a letter dated Mombasa, September 21, nnd addressed by Bi.-hop Tucker to Sir Gerald Portal, her Majesty's Consul-General at Zanzibar. The bishop acknow- ledges the receipt of Sir Gerald's telegram of that day's date informing him that" her Majesty's Governnent ccnsider that I and my party pro- ceeded to Uganda on nur own responsibility and at our own r:sk. The bishop adds:—"Allow me to say in nnsver, ard i say it witii all due respeet, that if this intimation implies that her Majesty's Government disclaims nil responsibility for the safety of English missioners in Uganda, should that country be abandoned ana given up to ctvil w .r and anarchy, then such a disclaimer, in my opmion, does not relieve her Majesty's Govern- ment, of such responsibility. Personally, I shall be most hartpy to reiieve her Majesty's Government of all responsibility for my own safety, but I ha"e a duty to discharge with respect to those mis- sionnres who hold my licence and who, in virtue of that "licence are now working within my jurisdiction in Uganda, and that cmy obh^es me to say that, should the Imperial British East Africa Company retire from Uganda at the prei, tit juncture, and the conn try be abandoned and given up to disorder and the lives of any missionaries sacrificed in consequence, then upon her Government will rest a very he ivy and solemn responsibility. Let me i.ot be misunder- stood. I deprecate in the very strongesi terms the idea that missionaries in penetrating iuto savage and uncivilised countries should jck for, or expect, aid and protection from their home. No proposition could he more preposterous; "0 con- tenti n more absurd. But if the missionaries have no right, and c party they have none, to compro- mise, tiie home Government, on the other hand, the home Government his no right to compromise tiie missionaries, and this, I submit, is what her Majesty's Government, has done with reject, to Uganda. Fifteen years ago our missionaries en'tered Uganda carrying their lives in their hands, never looking for. never ex- pecting, Government protection. In course of time her Majesty's Government granted a Royal charter, in winch it delegated to the company its powers of influence and functions of government within the sphere of British in- fluence. N"turall:s, the adherents of the English mission supported tne English resident in tho exercise of those powers entrusted to him by the English Government through the con pany. Tho result was that they incurred the haired and hostility of all other parties in tile State. To tear up treaties that have been signed after hnvitig thus compromised the English mis- sionaries and their adherentand on the faith of which the latter were led to cast in their lot with the English company, to break pledges given in the most solemn manner, to lepudiate obligations entered into with deliberation and after-thought, and then to disclaim ali responsibility for conse- quellceo that must inevitably ensue, would be, to my mind, to adopt a course of action that I dare not at the present moment trust myself tc charac- terise, and one that I cannot believe for a moment would over be sanctioned by any Government of the Queen.

MR. GLADSTONE ON UNIVER- SITIES. LECTUltE AT OXFOHD. Tiie Prime Mir-htr-r had a mo-t enthusiastic reception in Oxford on Monday, when he delivered an address on universities in the Sheldonian Theatre which was packed from floor to ceiling. Mr. Gladstone was introduced by the Vice- Chaucellor to the audience as one of Oxford's "most illustrious sons "a phrase which elicited a renewal of the voc'ferous cheering that. greeted Mr. Gladstone when. wening his seal let gown, he mounted the rostrum. Mr. GLADSTONE commenced his lecture by speak- ing of universities as the first great systematic effort of the lay mind to achieve self-assertion and emancipation from the Church. It did not follow that in any healthy state of opinion the univeisity and the Church wore antagonistic any more than two rowers, one on the right and the other on the left, who though a poition of their poweis neutralised one another, yet united to prop 1 ti e boats. The univeisity as such was a lay and not an ecclesiastical foundation. Fully formed, its purpose was to harbour, cherish, and develops all the knowledge suitable tor training. The rolling years might add to the hum in store both in tradi- tions and acquisition", but the honour of the fir^t university belonged to Italy, but Paris vwis the first which, among mediaeval universities, towered above all the rest. It was in the twelfth century that Oxford became d -initely entitled to tho name of university. The ouipment ■ •[ Cam- bridge with ail the faculties dated somewhat iater, for it was first in the year 1209 that any trust- worthy notice of it was found. Like Oxford tt was supplied with the four faculties, and like Oxford, itS well fig Pa: is and Bologna, it owed its existence not to State or Church, but to that free and spoiitamous impulse which some ot the m'st learned inquirers into academic origin regarded as jthe noblest feature of th. ir early history, Before the twelfth century had well run half its course Oxford was spoken of for its activity as a scatof learning. Having traced the history of the two universities through succeeding centuries, Mr. Gladstone went on to say that he did not intend to touch the history of the universities of the nineteenth century, nor ould lie ref«r to the futuie bevond saying thii the future could not be one ot somnolent, predominance. Youthful, active companions had come into field, and would forbid a relapse into lethargv, as will as provide a fresh accftos of material for the finishing hand to work upon, and the nation wouid expect from the still paramount universities u constant, increase of energfitic exertion. There were two dangers before them. One was a rclilxation of research considered as apart from the teaching office, and the other was undue pressure from without to lean, if ever so iittle, to that theoiy of education which would construct machines of so many horse-power, rather than from character rear into true excellence that mar- vellous creature called man. That brought him back to his first point, viz., that the university in its inception was a guarautee against the un- checked predominance of the ecclesiastical arm. I The spiritual ard secular departments had worked I side by side, and the s'rifo between them had not even threatened to become estrangement. The I result had bean a noble one. (Hear, hear.) It was not among the favourable signs in our era I that that concord had been broken in some European countries by the total expulsion of theology from the academic pre- cincts. TIe had, however, no fear of witnessing any similar severance in this country. It seemed no violent para. ioy to say that, it there be a Creator, a knowleoge which reverently dealt with our relations to him could hardly be other than the crown of human bnow'edge--(cheeri) — and could hardlv fail to afford the richest reward, as well as to advance the most commanding claim to the servicps of the very £ OW-T of our youth. So long R,. the university of Oxford acted up to her motto they might rely upon it that the totnl atmosphere aud lighl, which yielded the best flower and fiuit to feed humanity to its highest excellence for the performance of its work, would be characteristic of Oxford ia generations to yet come.
