"Queen versus Owen." I 0 MR. ALLEN UPWARD AS A NOVELIST. A Review of "Maenhir's" Latest Con- tribution to the Literature of the Nineteenth Century. Of all the novels with which the press of this country teems the legal novel is, without doubt, the most uninteresting. The political novel, the religious novel, the sporting novel, and the novel with a purpose-all have their dis- tinctive vices. The psychological novel and the-novel given up to introspection are bad enough but more deadly dull than any of them is the novel devoted to the exposition and illustration of legal procedure. Of this cha- racter is the work of fiction which, under the title of "The Queen Against Owen," Mr. A lien Upward, of the South Wales Circuit, has just given to the wcrld- The story told by Mr. Upward, so far as it can be disentangled from the jargon of forensic technicalities with which it is embellished, is wildly improbable, It is worse. It is true neither to nature nor to art. Disfigured by the worst crudities of the shilling shocker, it fails to excite or even to interest. But, none the less, "The Queen Against Owen" serves a useful end. On the principle of crede experio. we learn from its pages what- manner of man is the average member of the South Wales Bar. And. truth to say, the picure is not flattering. Let the following conversation illustrate our meaning. It is supposed to take place between two counsel in the bar mess-room of an hotel, at lundi time, during the progress of a sensa- tional trial. One of these refined and culti- vated young gentlemen is prosecuting and the other defending a girl of good family and great personal attractions on a charge of murder. Tressainer (counsel for the defence) rushed into the place in a state of exaggerated buoyancy, and loudly called for a bottle of champagne. George, how goes it r" cried his friend. All went merry as a marriage bell," returned the other. Have no fear keep up your heart, old man. Leave it to me; I'll get her off. Buller (the judge) is against us, of course, on the evidence; but what do I care ? I'll get the jury. See if I don't, 1'11 make a speech this afternoon the like of which has not often been heard in this dead-and-alive hole." He had rattled on in a jerky, excited, nervous manner, and he wound up by drinking off nearly a tumblerful of champagne. "Gently," said his friend, remonstrating. "You must keep cooi, or you will spoil everything." Don't you be afraid, Charlie," retorted the other in the same unnaturally careless strain it's my case, and I know how to manage it. I've sworn to save her,' a.nd, by God, I'll do it if I have to declare I did the thing- myself. By Jove, didnt I touch up that scoundrel in the witness-box, though. You saw me, Beltrope?" Tressamer (the defending counsel), having thus delivered himself, retires to his room, where Prescott, the prosecuting counsel, finds him "with his head in a basin of water, and addresses him in very grave accents: George, you must listen to me. You have told me that you love Eleanor Owen, and I suppose, as she has you to defend her, that she returns your love. Now, I have a confession to make to you. I love her, too." What! You, Charles!" Yes. You know I saw something of her as a child. I was fond of her then. But to-day, when I saw her so beautiful, so innocent in that dreadful place, I found another feeling overmastering me. Oh do n it be afraid. She shall never knowlt. I shall not try to take her from you. I am not the sort of man to rob his friend- And so on these artless young lawyers prat- tled to one another while the court awaited the resumption of the great murder trial in which they were severally engaged. But if the bar fares badly at the hands of Mr. Allen Upward, the bench is treated with equal severity. Of the judge who presided over this trial, our author thus delivers himself: Sir Daniel Buller hated sensationalism. In fact, he did not like anything which threw his own dignity into the shade. He liked to feel that- he was in the star part, and that everybody else in court was merely playing up to his grand effects. Nor are other institutions spared by this remorseless critic. Justice's justice is pilloried, and Lord Christob-el-a thin disguise for Lord Coleridge-is held up to admiration as the "scourge of truckling magistrates, and a thorn in the side of those petty tyrants whom "our peculiar system allows to flourish in rural "districts in the degraded robes of justice." In the eyes of this iconoclast nothing is sacred. "The fact is," he declares, "that 0 the grand jury is played out. Every thing for which they origina.lly existed is now done by some- body else. But man, brief man, placed on a grand jury, and shut into a room without the interference of a legal authority, delights to show himself off by vain and superfluous inquiry." But Mr. Allen Upward is seen at his best when lie lays himself out to scarify that abomination of all good patriots, the landed gentleman. County society," lie declares, lias become a byword for the old-fashioned 'and the hum-drum, for bad living, bad manners and bad taste." As regards the last-mentioned quality Mr. Upward is no doubt an authority, but even if his autliority were disputed he might with perfect propriety reply, De gusti. bus non est disptdandwm." What the author's lady friends will say to his sumptuary dicta it is not for us to conjecture. The "bang," a,s our American friends call an almost universal modern method of wearing the hair, Mr. Upward stigmatises as that device of ugli- ness the artificial fringe." When however, Mr. Upward come-s to deal with the news papers, then we feel we are at a disadvantage. Our author is known to add to his numerous other distinctions that of an intimate personal and practical acquaintance with journalism. What he does not know about newspapers is said not to be worth knowing, and, conse- quently, the following description of the way in which illustrated journals are conducted will be read with widespread and legitimate interest: They (the newspapers in question) ha.d already given pictures of the scene of the crime of the deceased, and of other characters, including the prisoner. But they now threw away the blocks rep- resenting Eleanor, and which bad originally done service in America, where they represented a female temperance lecturer of moderate attractiveness, anc came out with full-page illustrations, taken in one case from the portrait of the most charming actress on the Parisian stage, and all calculated to feed the growing flame of sympathy. Our space forbids our quoting at greater length from this masterpiece of contemporary fiction. We should, however, like to give Mr. Upward just one word of respectful caution before we leave him. Let him, as long as he pleases, con- tinue to libel his own profession. Under a thin disguise he may hold up occupants of the bench and members of the South Wales Bar to ridicule and contempt as long as the mess of which he is a member is content to submit to that indignity. But. when lie comes to deal with the profession to v.hich the writer belongs. then Mr. Upward had better have a care, and be sure that the cowardly libels with which he adorns his uninteresting pages are sheltered behind such general terms as to prevent any of the subjects of his envenomed attacks from being able to call him to account in a court of law for imputations which are as baseless as t-hey a.re malignant. I' Another View of the Work. The London Star, which probably knows more of the peculiar kind of journalism described by Mr. Upward, takes the following view of the book :—Mr. Allen Upward has broken fresh ground in a field which, to the casual eye. would seem to be ploughed from end to end. We have stories dealing' with crime from every point of vievf—the point of view of the detective, the man in the street, and the criminal himself. Mr. Upward goes to the Bar, and his story,"The Queen against (hhon (Chatto and Windns) is written from the benches of an assize court. It is very clever, well and brightly written, and of enthralling interest-and this last is the highest praise that can be given to a book of this type. Mr. Upward does not rely on the {perspicuity of any one of his characters for the unravelling of the skein of murder ana robbery he himself has so deftly woven, the real murderer confessing before he commits suicide. The di seovery of the identity of the criminal comes as a startling- surprise, and it would be decidedly unfair to give the key to a cleverly- conceived mystery. There is an amusing sketch of the judges' procession in an assize town, as well as of the two judges themselves. M*« Upw ard knews the value of dramatic situation, but uses his knowledge well.

MRS. LONGSHORE-POTTS. —j— Manager Harrison Replies to Matron's'' Letter. On Monday night there ^a-e a large audisnce at the Lesser Park-hall, Cardiff, where Mrs. Longshore-Potts, M.D., who is delivering a course of health lectures to women, discoursed on "Cupid. Chloe, and Hymen in an instruc- tive and interesting manner. TO THE EDITOR OF TEE EVENING EXPRESS." SIR,—"A Matron" is in error a,bout young girls attending the lectures to women by Mrs. Longshore-Potts, M.D. The atten- dants at the door have had strict instructions to admit no girls under sixteen years of ag'e unless accompanied by their parents. Both my assistants and I have seen that this rule has been carefully enforced. Neither have the book-selling boys peeped in at the doors. Mrs. Potts' secretary-a, young woman-has frequently done so to ascertain if she was wanted. To our personal know- ledge. several ladies have attended our lecture alone. and afterwards brought their daughters. Through this, possibly, "A Matron's" error arises. We think. also, that the majority of women will disagree with "A Matron" ar: to the propriety of instruc- tion of the nature given by Dr. Potts being listened to by girls. Ignorance is not innocence. A Matron" may understand hygiene and physiology well enough to instruct her daugh- ters. That the majority do not is attested by the warm interest in the lectures and the un- necessary amount of il;ness.-I am, kc.. GEO. E. HARRISON, M.P., Manager. March 12. TO THE EDITOR OF THE" EVENING EXPRESS." SIB,—Although I do not agree with Nfl's. Longshore Potts on the score of that lady's ill-advised crusade against athletics for girls, still, I can sympathise with her at being lectured herself in to- day's Western Mail by A Matron." It is too bad, indeed, after having done her best by dividing the sexes in her lectures for her to be further required to prevent little boys looking through creaks and little girls from retailing what they have seen, second-hand, to their comrades. Perhaps" A Matron will go fur- ther. and tell Mrs. Longshorc-Potts how she is to rectify these grave matters ? Is it, per- chance, by young females before passing in pro- ducing age certificates of birth? Anyhow, I fear me. the mischief is done -I am. &o.. Cardiff. DELIGHTED.

THE RENDEL PEERAGE. Why the Title Should Not be Viscount Montgomery." The Globe says :-The statement that Mr Stuart E-endel intends to assume the style and title of Lord Montgomery" has been repeatedly made, and, as it has not been contradicted, we suppose it may be assumed to be true. Even go ardent a Radical as Mr. E-endel may find that the Heralds' Office has its uses. and that one of them would be to save him from plagiarism if he would condescend to ask for advice there. The second title of the Earl of Pembroke is that of Earl of Montgomery," and Mr. Rendel will subject bimself and his descendants to rather mortifying comparisons, seeing that the cre:1- tion dates from 1605 and the present Lord Pem- broke is the tenth Lord Montgomery. The Pall Mall Gazette says :—" It is under- stood," we read, that Mr. Rendel will take the title of Viscount Montgomery. Lord Pembroke, who is also Earl oi Montgomery under a crea- tion of 1605, will probably have something to say to this, especially as the title has been associated with his family in another branch also. For William Herbert, Earl of Powis, was created Viscount Montgomery in 1687 (the title became extinct in 1745) and Marquess of Montgomery by James II. when in exile. Mr. Lafcouchere perha-ps would say that your true Radical loves a high-sounding title in preference to retaining In" own name. An Oswestry correspondent telegraphs that the report that Mr. Rendel will take the title of Viscount Montgomery is untrue.

PARK-HALL SERVICES. The Protesting Nonconformist Minister Expiains. The paragraph which appeared in Monday's "Evening Express" attributing to the Rev. J. R. Davies, pastor of the Welsh Congregational Chapel, [).a.r<i.iif" the statement, Ul the course of his sermon on Sunday night, that the Park, ha-11 popular Sunday afternoon services had been the ruin of many young people, created much surprise and no little indignation in Car- diff. The Rev. J. R. Davies, however, in a.D interview with a "Evening Express'' reporter on Monday evening, complained that he had not been correctly reported. "In the first place," said he, "I did not refer to the Park-hall services at all in my sermon. What I said about them was said at the meeting of the societv after the evening- service, and I never said that the services had been the ruin of many young people. A deacon at the meeting mentioned that some of the attendants at the Sunday School had dropped coming there, and I took that remark up. and said 1 was afraid that the Sunday afternoon service- at the Park-hall attracted a good many Sunday School teachers and scholars, and I mentioned that some of the young people from my Sunday School went there very often. As far as I was concerned, my reference to the Park-hall services finished there, but I after- wa.rds went on to impress upon the young people how importaasfc it was to keep up their attendance at Sunday School, because if they dropped the Sunday School it would be the first step to destruction. I emphasised that statement by stating that I knew of many instances of young people, after dropping Sun- day School, refraining from attending the Sun- day morning services, and then neglecting the le Sunday evening services." Lre you opposed to the holding of these popular Sunday afternoon services ý" I should not like to give my opinion about the services, because I have not been at any of them, but I believe the motives of the pro- moters are good. My only complaint is that they have drawn young people away from my Sunday School, and I believe if you went to other ministers of the town you would find they were having similar experiences. When I referred to the instance of a young man who had gone to irrevocable ruin I did not have the Park-hall services in view." interview with a Promoter. Our reporter subsequently interviewed one of the promoters of the popular Sunday after- noon services, and informed him of the nature of the Rev. J. R. Davies's explanation. The gentleman interviewed, in reply, said: "Mr. Davies's explanation throws a different light on the matter, and, after hearing it, I feel quite sure that nothing was further from his mind than to make such imputations as those attri- buted to him in your report. Of course, I am quite prepared to hear that there are many, like Mr. Davies,J who have not been to the ser- vices, and hav& misunderstood their nature and the influence they are likely to exert. Mr. Davies refers to the frequency with which scholars drift away from the Sunday School and cease to take an interest in the work of the Church. I know nothing about his ministry or the work at his place of worship; but. from my own observations in respect to other con- gregations, I can only wish that the Bible classes, instead of being entrusted to those who show little or no qualification for such impor- tant work, were handed over to those who are capable of conducting them, and would devote the nectssary time to study and preparation. Well-known hymns might be made greater use of; and why not have an occasional solo or quartette by members of the classes? This practice has been adopted in some instances, with the result that the accommodation has not been. equal to the attendance,"

THE NEW LIBERAL WHiP, —— The following fac-simile of the first circular issued by the New Whip may be interesting tc some of our readers :—

An Arm less Man as Jehu, HE GUIDES THE HORSES WITH HIS FEET. Charies Unthan Controls his Team as Dexterously as a Veteran Horseman. It certainly wae a most extraordinary drive. The horses were ordinary enough, but the maw on the driver's seat- had no haaids and no arms, ana the route was along .<*vf-ra-l crowded N-ew York thoroughfares, at an hour when the traffic was dense and pleasure at its Wight, The vehicle was Sandw's dog-cart, aitd behind the cart came the strong man's great Danish boar-hound Juno. Sandow himself sat besMit the driver, not- as a measure of precaution, bui because he and the man holding the raim an, old friends. The driver was Unthan. the man born without arms, who has learned to be handier with his feet than the average mar who has all his limbs and members. The armless driver wore a blue sack suit and a high hat. He is a big broad-shoulder fellow, vesry good naturecL and well educated. Be is 44 yean old, and from a lifetime of practice he has learned to use his. legs and his toes in every way and for every purpose that an ordinary man requires arms and hands for. He can button his collar and whip his liandkerduef out of his coat pocket as easily as you or I can. He lifted his hat courteously as the crowd which had gathered gaw a little cheer. The Armless Man Driving. On each foot he wore a toeless stocking, which corresponds in appearance with a woman's long-armed "matt." It leaves his toes free to do their work of fingers, but this was a day when a man wanted a glove to drive or walk with. and handling- the reins numbed Unthan's toes and the air oh 1 lied them. The trip was full of incident, and only the most skilful driving brought us back to our starling point without a mishap, Un- than. drove down Broadway, which, at the hour of gathering dusk, was crowded with vehicles and cars. Bessie Bellwood passed in a hansom, and the vivacious London singer stood .up to wave a hand tc her fellow erfcacfi people, crying; "I hope you're enjoying your- selves." A final stop was made at the Im- perial Hotel, where a gi-ea* crowd garnered, and then the horses were taken around to the livery stable. The driver created a eens&frior here. "I would have never have trusted thai team out. of the stable if you had said yof were going to drive," said the manager.

SCENE AT CHURCH. A Mumb!es Parishioner Gives Church Wardens Trouble. Some sei-isation has been caused at the Mumbles recently by the determined action of a young man named Henry Mock, who insists upon occupying a certain seat in the church. On March 7, after some unpleaisantness on the preceding Sunday, he received a letter from Mr. W. E. Collins, churchwarden, requesting him to take seat Ho. 58 instead of No. 75, or the churchwardens would be bound to exercise their authority and remove him from the lcrm-er pew. On Sunday morning Mr. Meek defied them, although appealed to by the vicar to give way. In the evening the sexton found him again occupying the seat, and advised hira to leave. Mr. Collins, the churchwarden, then went for « constable, and the two churchwardens having secured the presence of Sergeant Titus Davie-s, approached Mock's seat and again asked him to leave and go to the other seat which had b**ea allocated to him. He, however, refused, and. the two churchwardens mildly, but firmly, re- moved him from the one seat t@ the other. Excite- ment, of course, reigned amongst the cosgrega- tion when the churchwardens actually asserted their authority, but the seene was soon over., Mock leaving the church.

The "Atheuæum," speaking of his playing at one of the St. James's-hf.H concerts a week or two ago. says that it wag "faultless alike in tone. phrasing, and intona* tion. Not for several years has lie been i. such splendid 'form' as ati present." The same journal draws attention to "the fact that it ii the fiftieth anniversary both of Herr Joachim's and of Signor Piatti's first appearances in Lon.. don, and remarks: -"S(,rn,, recognition of this double jubilee should certainly be made; but it must be left to the countless admirers! of twtt, of the greatest instrumental artistes of the nineteenth century to say how it should baj done." The pianiste at to-night's concert- is to; be Miss Agnes Zimmermann, and the two dis-l tinguished artistes are to be heard together ini Beethoven's violin and piano sonata Op. 30. No- 1. The vocalist is a lady who has not before been heard m Cardiff, but those who have heard Miss Marie 'Fillunger sing report that she has a soprano voice of extraordinary beauty, purity, and force. She takes somewhat the same pkes amongst soprano singers that Mr. Henschell does amongst baritones. Like him, too, shs chooses the masterpieces of vocal compost-ion as her contributions to the programme. With these singers audiences are able to feel secure that they will not undergo the tantalisatim) ot hearing the powers of magnificent -voiep, lavished on compositions that are trashy of trivial.
