r The Cymric Causerie, GOSSIP AND CHATTER OF OLD GWALIA. Paragraphs of Persons and Places Gathered all over the Princi- pality. There is a paper in Paris called the "Esta- fette." Is this the French mode of writing "eisteddfod" ? A North Wales barrister, it is said. will never appear for a. licensed victualler at brew- sfcer sessions. The statement is made in a Liverpool paper. Labour and Liberalism are doing the three- legged race in an awkward fashion. Mr. Samuel Smith is now worried by fears of a Labour candidate next election. A Newport man who asked for Mrs. Tre- herne's story, "The Mill on the Usk," was furious when. he couldn't find anything in it about Cardiff v. Newport football. 0 The cfoimneait- the "Westminster Gazette" offers on Sir John Llewelyn's remarks on the Land Commission is that they show how the example of Ireland spreads. Wales is to have a State loan; the turn of Scotland and England is to ccme. this Pj singular thing that, although Mr. Chas. Brandling and his wife, Lady Julia Jersey, had always been especially careful of their health. both have died, more or less suddenly and within a year or so c.f time. A baby set up crying so loudly in Cardiff Police-court on Wednesday that the case in which its it-other was engaged was adjourned for a month. And now look out for babies in that court. Every defendant will carry one. There is no capital of Wales says the editor of the "Yorkshire Post- in reply to a cor- respondent. We invite the gentleman to say the same tiling from the steps of the Cardiff Town-hall and then wait for something to happen. For fifteen years Madame Albani has done the soprano part for the Christmas perfor- mance' annually given, by the Leeds Festival Choir. Tiiis year the great prima donna's place will be taken by Miss Maggie Davies, of Dowlais. The Swansea illegitimacy scandal is almost- attaining the proportions of a divorce case in the London courts. It is only half finished aft-er two days' hearing, and one of the coun- sel, Mr. Glascodine, yesterday madea speech of three hours' duration. Even Mr. Leyson was tired. Welshmen in America are fond of proving their attachment to the old country by giving truly Welsh names to their children. Miss Myfanwy Williams, the daughter of a well- known Seranton merchant and a prominent Welshman is at present the guest of Consul Anthony How-ells. Our artist simply anticipated things when he represented. Sir William Harcourt as 'a Welshman. It is now sought to be proved that Sir William is a Cyinro pure and simple, and if the attempt proves successful we are confi- dent he will turn out to be a Cardiganshire man. The interview which the "Religious Review of Reviews" obtained with Principal Owen came out in the issue of that periodical on September 15 last. This intimation is given for fear our readers, after reading our par. last Saturday on the subject, will look in some future number of the "Review" for what Canon Owen has been saying. It is seriously stated in a weekly paper that "in Wa.les and Cornwall many of the miners burn their hats upon the birth of a male ohild; if a girl be born his neic+bours bum it. for him." We have never heard of this custom, but we knew a man once who wanted to burn the house dpwn when he was told it was triplets. In the year 1825 twelve captain.s of Cornish vessels, who traded regularly to the port of Swansea., were spending a convivial evening at the old King's Head in Castle-square, where the Castle Hotel now is. Their names wer6; Ham, Gammon, and Bacon; Broom, Gimlet, and Button Spring, Summer, and Winter; Dark, Knight-, and Day. Whv f Sir George Osborne Morgan accept- the challenge hurled at- him by Mr. Lloyd-George. The young revolter has stated in "so many words that when Sir George went to ask Sir William Harcourt what he was going to do for We-kh disestablishment the ''popular" Chancellor used language grossly insulting to Wales. What was it that Sir William said? A poet has arisen on the banks of the U sk- or from the bed of the Usk, judging of the clearness of his rhyme—and he sings in a shrill treble as follows:- South Monmouthshire, South Monmouthshire, Be up and do things thorough; Your reputation should not be That of a pocket borough. Assert, your rights, and now declare No more you'll have a Tory, For you, as'representative, Have chosen Clifford Cory. Three cheers, my boys, three lusty cheers, For gallant Clifford Cory. Who. with one voice, is made our choice To oust an ancient Tory. We trust this anthem will be sung at Mr. Cory's meetings. Journalists the world over are famous for their bonhomie, but it. sometimes happens ihev sniffer for this weakness. An able South Wales pressman one evening joined a party of wits who were spending a con- vivial evening at a well-known resort. One of the party was experimenting upon "the tundish trick," and he easily induced the late coiner to undertake the ta^k of dropping the ha'penny from his nose into the recep- tacle, which W11.<3 hung in the last button- hole of his waistcoat. Hardly had the t«.<k been undertaken before the poor dupe ex- perienced a sudden chill. That. tundish had directed a stream of home-brewed into his garment, and he turned and went home & wiser and a wetter man. A correspondent who has recently returned from a visit to Llanberis writes in a ead strain to the London "Daily News." He says be was grieved to find it commonly reported that within the next twelve months a railway wall be opened to the summit of Snowdon, and a large hotel built there. As the originator of the scheme is said to be also the proprietor of the land there will be 110 need for an Act off Parliament, so that there seems but little chance of preventing the disfigurement of the most beautiful and grandest of all the Welsh mountains. Hut, perhaps, continues the cor- respondent, if lovers of nature would make their voice heard the scheme might yet be re-con- sidered. and the monarch of the Cambrian Hills saved from the vandalism of the contractor.- Perhaps so, but if the destruction of the scheme is to be done by a voice it had better be the voice of "Guriio- The new book, "The Mill on the Lsk." does not refer to the fight in which Mr. Spicer defeated Sir George Elliot, but is a story written by Mrs. Arthur Treherne, and tells how a young Welshman slew another young Welshman to his hurt, was tried for manslaughter, defended by a. bene- volent Q.C.. »'ho ali^ ve evidence for the prisoner, was acquitted, got married, and went to America. The good rector's speech at the wedding breakfast was given in the Welsh language-but the "Daily Chronicle" can forgive him for that, for a few days before he told a very good story of an angelic visi- tation. In her preface the author says: — "1 think it likely that the tale may have an especial interest to the public mind, as the scene in which the events narrated occurred is one of the loveliest valleys in South Wales, where also his Royal Highness the late deeply-lamented Duke of Clarence spent three days during the last autumn of his brief life." In Liverpool 100 years ago yesterday was born Felicia Dorothea Browne, the M rs. Felicia. Hemans or poetry. Her father died leaving her and her mother in a- wilderness of an old building in Wales, where at the age of seven she beg-an to write verse. Among many productions was a drama, writ-ten at the suggestion of Bishop Heber—"Yespers of Palermo"—for Oovent Garden Theatre, a,nd seen there in 1823, also at Edinburgh, when Sir Walter Scott wrote the epilogue. It is 64 years since the "Songs of the Affec- tions" were published. Many of her pjeces first- appeared in the "New Monthly" and the "Edinburgh Magazine." Her husband, Mr. Hemans, fought a? an officer during part of the Peninsular c-amnaign, and died early in Italy. It wa." while engaged upon a collected edition of her poems that she died in Dublin in the second decade of the pre- sent century. It. is strange (says the "Daily Chronicle") that the centenary of the birth of a lady whose lines have taken a peace and serenity to thousands of British homes, which more pretentions works have failed to do. should not have been honoured by some of the polishers.

I wish to guard myself against possible miscon- struction on one point.

RIOT ACT READ. Extraordinary Scene in a Cardiganshire Chapel. It is reported that some extraordinary pro- ceedings have recently taken place at a chapel in Cardiganshire. The dispute and split amongst the congregation have been commented upon in some of the Welsh papers, notably the "Brython." but we learn that at a more recent service the minister actually read the Riot Act from the pulpit. Such an extraordinary proceeding has caused much comment in Nonconformist circles, even as far removed as Swansea, but the facts lead- ing up to the act have not yet been received by us.

MARIE LLOYD'S HUSBAND. His Petition for Divorce Dismisssd with Costs. The Central News says :-It will be remem- bered that Mr. Percy Courtenay some time ago instituted proceedings for divorce against Mre Matilda Alice Victoria Courtenay, better known as Marie Lloyd, alleging that she had committed adultery with two co-respondents atDatcbet and at Carleton-road, Tufnell Park. A summons was issued on behalf of the respondent and co- respondents asking for fuller particulars, and on June 19 an order was made for delivery of these particulars. As the petitioner has not complied with the registrar's order the petition ha.s been summarily dismissed, petitioner to pay all costs.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. Opposition to Councillor Brain at Grangetown. Effcrts are being made by the Liberal party at Grangetown to induce Mr. Alien Upward, barrister, to contest the ward at the forthcoming November elections in opposition to the sitting member, Councillor S. A. Brain. His reply is expected in a few days, but in the event of his refusal it is understood that Mr. Samuel Mildon, the re- jected' of 1892-93, will again enter the lists. The temperance section of the Liberals are determined to oppose Councillor Brain at any cost. Little fear is entertained by Mr. Brain's supporters, however, for his popularity with all sections of electors in the borough practically ensures his re-election.

LORD BUTE'S DAUGHTER. I Rumoured Engagement to Lord Lovat. The "Pall Mail Gazette" on Wednesday said:—"A marriage, it is rumoured in Scot- land. is on the point of being arranged be- tween Lord Lovat and Lady Margaret Crichton-Stua-rt. the eldest daughter of the iuarquess and Marchioness of Bute." The information had not been confirmed on Wed- nesday night, but there seems nothing im- probab'e in our contemporary's statement. Such a marriage would bring about an alliance between two of the most powerful Roman Catholic families in Scotland. LiC\ Margaret was born on December 24, 137.5, and is thus in her nineteenth year., and LO!4 Lovat is 23. THE LOVAT FAMILY. The Erasers were originally of Norman extraction, an dthe earliest accounts give the family name as Frizeile, or Fraser. They first came into prominence in the year 1230. At that time the Lord of Athole was slaii a.nd his house burned. The Biyssete, a Higta- land family of great possessions, were impli- cated, and their Scottish estates were for- feited and given to the Erasers, who from that time founded all influence which became troublesome to the Government 500 years afterwards. In the reign of CharW 1. the Frasers joined the Covenanters, but it was in the rebellion of 1745 that the family became most prominent. Simon Fraser, who was born in 1676, was the thirteenth Lord Lovat. One of Ins first acts on leaving college was to recruit 300 men from his clan to form part of a regiment- in the service of Wiliani aad Mary, his object being to 'have a well- trained body of soldiers under his influence whom at a moment's notice he might carry over to the interest of King James.

Some time ago considerable sensation was caused both in the North of Scotland and throughout Wales by the announcement that a claimant had came forward to dispute the title to the estates with the late Lord Lovat. There had. indeed, been whispers going round that there were grounds for contesting the matter, but the general opinion amongst the Highlanders, with whom Lord Lovat was very pt ptlar, was that his lordship .vas the rightful heir. At all evente. the matter came before the Hou.se of Lords, when the claimant, John William Fraser, of Carnarvon, sinoe deceased, boldly proclaimed himself as the direct descendant of an ancestor if I.or.i I ovat's who, fleeing from jinnee, settled down in Anglesey. Mr. Fraser had a fairly complete case to put before the court, and brought up many aged "witaesses from Anglesey to speak as to his connections. The Lor(is, however, held that a prima facie claim had not been made out, and that Lord Lovat was the proper heir t-o the estates.

BARRY DOCK. The Company Contemplating a Big Experiment. The directors of'the Barry Dock and Rail- ways Company are already, it is understood, making preparations for going to Parliament rtext November for new powers, and the ex- tension of traffic facilities in connection with the docks is believed to be the main ques- tion under consideration. In addition to r.pw railway works a scheme has been put forward to form a branch line to the pier- head. which will enable excursion and ocean boats to embark a.nd disembark passengers n'td mails with promptitude and facility, and the completion of the deep-wa.ter entrance next year will-facilitate the arrival and despatch of a class of shipping which does not now vii=i( the port. The Barry directors have long been anxious to encourage an import trade, and with this object in view we learn that they are prepared to go so far as to provide vessels 011 their own responsi- I hility for the transit- of general traffic between Barry and Burn ham and other places on the opposite side of the Channel, thus affording new and more expeditious means of commu- nication between South Wales and London and other English commercial centres. Next year, too. the new branch railway to Barry Island will be oompleted, and this it is intended to utilise for more important pur- poses than simply the conveyance of pas- sengers to this new place of seaside resort. The Barry Company's Parliamentary notice this year will, therefore, it is predicted, siford a surprise in more respects than oue.

Troupe of Tricky Tykes, THEY CAN BE SEEN NIGHTLY AT THE EMPIRE. Marvelle Chats with R Pressman and Tells How He Trains His Canine Performers. There is at the Cardiff Empire this week is. perhaps, the best troupe of perform- ing dogs that has been seen :n the Welsh Metropolis for some considerable time. There are boxing and trick walking dogs, and others that turn somersaults. The latter deserve special mention, one in particular being re- maikable for the r-rnart way 111 which he throws back somersaults clean over the bat- of a huge St. Bernard, through hoops and paper screens-and Kirns trtenr, too. vvltlioisi the slightest hesitation or coaxing. Titan the serpentine dancing dogs aie also excep- tionally smart. But the trick riding act is, perhaps, the most novel and smart of ail. Many of the tricks of bare-back riders are gone through—jumping over barriers, through paper hoops. and on to the bar—whilst the "fiery unbmed"the aforesaid St. Bernard —trots round the ring by himself. A beautifully formed dog is "Laddie." a greyhound. whore clean jumping is a treat to witness. and on Wednesday night his feats were accorded un- bounded applause. After the ",iltow "(jiiE. of our representatives had a chat with Mr. Marvelle, the owner and trainer of the animals, relative to his career. "Your first appearance was—remarked the reporter tentatively, "My entrance into the profession was rather peculiar, in fart, it can hardly be called an en- trance. I commenced my career in the streets of London with a number of performing cana- ries- I always took to animals and birds, and whilst I was out with the canaries a gentleman who saw me asked me if I would like to go to America. That was 28 years ago. I accepted the offer after a little hesi- tation. and crossed 'the pond'to the laud of 'stars and stziipes,' railway accidents, and cyclones. I appeared in many towns in the States until I was twenty years of age. Then I had a change, and w<eut in for animal training, with the result that when I was £ 2 I was the proprietor of a show whvii in. eluded Brahma bulk sheep, ani geese, all of which gave performances- "Geese stupid birds? No. Many of the public hold the same opinion, but instead. of beinig the most stupid pupils I have had to liandle, geese proved to be very intelligent, indeed. Now. I had a troupe of geese in America, and they perforated in a manner equal to many troupes of dogs. One gander was particularly apt. and after about two months teaching he would play a game of cards with any member of the audience- It came about this way. One morning after practice I wa.s having lunch, when I dropped a vne 9 of bread on a card. The gander Inear at hand .♦•ailf'fced it, arid, wanting. some more, picked up the card, and walked with it in his mouth to me. I maide him repeat this over and over again, and ulti- mately gained my object. The gander was a big success, and drew immense crowds, and I was enabled to sell the animals and travel only with him." "What is your method of training?' "Simply this. Ample patience, perseve- rance, and a certatin amount of will force. Of course, you must make the animals understand that you are their master, and not afraid of them. Instinctively animals find this out." "What was your most difficult feat?" "Well. when I brought out the •somersault"' dog. I wap *be first to produce that triak. MtA I Jllid a lot of trouble at first. I teach the dogs to perform the trick in r/iher a unique way. 1 simply turn the dog over in a careless fashic-n until the animal, becoming disgusted at the manner in which he is treated, turns himself in his own and the proper way." "And as to the jumping?" "Well with regard to that, I don't myself think a dog can be taught to jump any given distance. Mv dog 'Laddie' jumps Z3 tins stage about 20ft. to 24ft. By-the-bye, a feat which I found very difficult, and which, although I have travelled all over the world with my show, has not been copied, .is that of the equestrian dogs. Chatting about the dogs and their doings, Mr. Marvelle rattled away. "Strange ex- periences? Well. yes, several: but about the worst occurred in the States about eight years ago. The tra.in we were travelling in was wrecked.and our car, which was 60ft, long, and contained 60 people, rolled about 25 yards down an embankment- Next to our car was one in connection with Forepaugh's Circus and which was carrying a number of wild animals. The smash put out the lights, and. the night being very dark. we could see nothing. Some of the animals broke loose, and orders were given not to move until the manager in charge found out what was amiss. As you may imagine, when we heard the howls of the leopards. lioM, tigers, and jackals who had got loose, we remained as still as possible, and the sus- pense was dreadful. There we were alto- gether on a pitchy dark night waiting for assistance, with enough wild animals around us to populate a decent-sized African forest. The prayer uttered by Wellington at Waterloo was—'Or that night or Blucher were here.' but ours was for daylight-" "It's coming, sir," said Mr. Donnelly, the stage manager, a.s he lowered the lights, and we found that it was, indeed, morning, but not daylight.
