Mr. Bonsfield, Mr. John Burns, Dr. Clark, Sir John Leng. Mr. Lloyd Morgan, Mr. Picton. Mr. Provand, Sir Albert Rollit, and Dr. Tanner for the purpose of enabling passengers m railway trains and on steamboats, &c.. to make use of return tickets at any time after the date of issue.

GALLANT SWANSEA BOY. He Rescues a Drowning Lad at Rcsario Harbour. News has just reached Swansea of the gallant conduct of Charles S. Whyatt. second mate of the barque Foxhound. It appears that whilst the Foxhound was being loaded at Rosaric, for Swansea, a little boy fell into the dock, when young Whyatt nobly dashed after him, and after considerable difficulty, when both their lives were endangered, he succeeded in rescuing the drowning lad. Whyatt deserves every praise for the true British pluck he displayed.

IN BARRY ROADS." TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EVENING EXPRESS.' Sir,—Surt-ly, the fate of the Yanduara must re-call that of the gallant four-master, the Drumblair, which blew ashore on the rocks at u 'N Sully Point a few years ago. In this case also it was reported that she "dragged her audio in Barrv Roads." The fact is, "Barry Roads" is a misnomer. Until the influence of mighty capitalists dubbed it "Barry Roads," thus in- timating that vessels might ride at anchor there safely, no seaman who knew this coast would have anchored a little ketch in such an unsafe ground, and now, forsooth, to bolster up the 'Barm- Dock and Railway, there are Barry I pilots who run the risk of losing human lives 'and thousands of pounds of underwriters' money bv anchoring big vessels in Parry's so- called '"roads." How many vessels which drag their anchors there are saved iI. the nick of time, T wonder'?—I am. &e., CALL A SPADE A SPA PL. MM I,,HA 11 UN—N

SUNDAY GOLFING AT PENARTH Father D'Huist of Barry Champions the New Movement. Perceiving in the "Evening Express" on Wednesday that some of the Sunday goif- players at Penarth were described to be Roman Cthaolics, and indulged in the game after attending morning service., a re-porter of the Evening Express called upon the Rev. Father Em. D'Huist, the new clergyman of the Barry Dock Roman Catholic Church, at the Presbytery, Cadoston, during the day for the purpose of ascertaining his views with regard to the new Sunday move- ment. In the course of conversation. Father D'Huist, who is a native of Belgium, and, therefore, fully accustomed to Continental life, said he would be sorry to encourage indulgence in anything that was bad on the Lord's Day, but who was to determine what was good and what was bad? WLo was to say whether golf, playing and such innocent games were sinful or not on the Sabbath? Personally, lie saw no harm whatever in ga.mes of the kind, whether played on week days or on Sunday. The gentlemen at Penarth attended Divine Service in the morning, and he certaiplv questioned the iigftt of a W in jiviavftiig to 8et thei>i.fei v"eV up as censors, and to say that it was a sin to indulge in a game of golf on Sunday afternoon. He (Father D'Hulst) was, no doubt, imbued to some extent with Continental customs, but he very much doubted the courage of those who ventured to say the Continental conscience was altogether bad so far a.s the observance of the Sabbath was concerned, and that the English conscience was altogether good. At the same time, he would not care to introduce practices into this country which were contrary to the customs of the people.

The "Connecting Link." SOMETHING VERY MUCH LIKE HERE. Landors Description of the Ugly Hairy t' Ainus the Oldest Race in the Northern Hemsphere. Some new light on the most primitive of primitive races in the northern half of the earth has been given to the world by A. H. Savage La.ndor, an Englishman who made a visit to Hakodate, which is on the island of Yezo, and is the northern treaty port of the Japanese islands. There he found some-queer specimens of semi-human kind known as the Hairy Ainu. The Ainus are probably the "lowest down" in the scale of humanity of any living race. Mr. Ijandor had heaird that, no solitary traveller could possibly make a fewur of the island, but he succeeded in doing ao, and gives some interesting ethnolog-icai facte in a narrative published by him efitkied, "Alone with the Haiiry Aiii-u." The Ainu is described as having no similarity whatever to the Japanese and Chinese type of 100<1, The colour of the skin is light reddish-brons-a. The eye is particularly- contracted to the Mon- golian eye, having a similar form and setting to that of North Europeans. The hairr skin is supposed to indicate a iiartehern origin. The eyes are very impressive and show the emotions in an interesting way. In adults AN AINU MAN. the hair is Wade, wavy, and inclined to form large curls. The emotions are expressed by shg-ht changes of postage or gestere, but- the Ainus do not care te show their feelings-; they- have no seose of shame, and even rear appears hardly known to them. Their history for the last 2.500 years is to a certain exfcenfc known. They were supposed at one time -to frave occupied the Japanese archipelagoes t<tid to have been driven to Yezo. when they main- tained their independence until the ninth cetb tury. then becoming subjeor to Japan. Theii fierceness gradually left them, and tbev ,ffe 10* auiO-'g-'itid aK»t-->oCjt'!ea3.4e =&.od of the earth's inhabitants at Yeac. 'i ueir number is estimated to be about 17.000. The women do mOBt, of the hard work, but the men when hunting can walk forty miles a day with. out fatigue, although they usually prefer to ride, ponies being plentiful and of a good breed. In moving a load or heavy object the Ainus never push, but always pull towards them. They appear to use the feet and toes very freely to help their hands and fingers, and they readily employ their teeth, preferring to pull with the teeth tha.n the hand when an unusually heavy haul is necessary. Their appearance struck Mr. Landor as exactly like AN AINU WOMAN. the re-constructions of the primitive msn off Northern Europe, and many of their move- ments re-called those of the anthropoid apes, which are the only creatures that have been thought of as the possible "connecting link" between men and their fellow animals of 3. lower grade. They are an extremely íílthy people, both in their persons and huts. They seem to have an acute sense of smell, dis- tinguishing bet.veen the odour of an English- man and a Japanese, but oblivious to their own very marked perfume-an intensified form of the "peculiar odour of an uncleaned monkey's cage." The sense of touch is singularly de- fective, and even when the extremes are painful they cannot distinguish the sensation of heat from that of cold. Their hearing is very acute. They are small in staiure, although. larger that the Japanese.

DOWLAIS CHILD MISSING. An Eleven Year Old Boy Mysteriously Disappears. Mrs. Martha, Owen, of 22. Cross-street, Dow- lais, applied to the Merthyr magistrates on Wednesday for assistance in endeavouring- to discover the whereabouts of her child, William James Owen, aged eleven, who had been missing from home since the 19th inst. She said that the boy left the house at 8.30 on the morning of the date mentioned with the ostensible intention of going to school, and it was afterwards found that he had taken away his best clothes, and pawned them at the shop of Mr. Joseph H&rpur. The stipendiary referred the applicant to the members of the press. The child has light hair and dark eyes, and when he disappeared he was wearing a dark plaid cloth coat, corduroy knickerbockers, a dark cap, and brown woollen stockings.
