SUNDAY SMOKERS. f Popular Entertainments for Visitors at the Liberal Club. • The committee of the Working ilea's Liberal Club, with the view of reducing their liabilities, which are at the present mordent rather heavy, have decided upon a new departure, which, if the attendance of members at its'inauguration on Sunday night augurs anything, diould produce satisfactory results. It is proposed to hold weekly smoking conoerte on Sunday even- ing. at which the latent falejit of the members sliall be displayed for the general benefit. The first came off on Sunday night at'the Cladstone- hall, which, in honour of the-" important occasion, was profusely def)orated with shields, flags, &c. In anticipation of a great increase to the funds the result, of their venture, the committee went to the expense of engaging a professional pianist, named Professor Albert de Verdi, who is well known to local footballers. At eight o'clock, when the prooeecUogs should have started, there were only four members present, and, with a view of enticing the laggards from the downstairs bar, the chairman, Mr. Alec Staadnuiu, Ùl company with the pianpec dered a medley of music-hall songs upon the tin whistle. His selection included. After the Ball," ''Annie Rooney," and Tlie Man that kept a Shebeen. By the time this was con- cluded a large influx of members had taken piace, and soon the hall was very full, quite 250 persons being present. However, by the time the whistle hud been wetted it wais fully 8.30, and before Piofe^sc-r de \'erdi opened the proceed- ings with the "Hooligsn March," the chair- man tliem set the ball rolling by calling upon Mr. Mike Ba.rry to sing Grandpa's Chair," but afsor geiug through the first verse he broke down SLad retired. Mr. Jack Crowley followed with a splesdid sentimental song, after which tke chairman aunounc-ed that there would be all iat*rval to allow the members to be supplied with drinks. Upon resuming. Mr. Stair, a new member, obliged with a capitafl rendering of Mr. J. W. Rowley's latest song, "The Eas* End of London," wfiioh was enthusiastically received, and. in response to an encore. Mr. Starr sang "The Toll-gate." which was again ■ most voriferou~ly applauded. Mr. T. Eyres was called to sing • The Go-Idea Wedding," but, aiter several trials, was unable to get through. Again the chairman reminded the company that the waiters were in the room," and after a little delav Sir. P. Driscoll sang a good sang, "Death levels us all," and he was followed by Mr. Harry Cain, who sang that good old favourite "Only to see her fat* ajgain." Ml\ Pat Driecoll next ottempr.ed. the Welsh air "The Maid of Llangullen "or, as he called it, "The Maid of Langolen'1—but failed altogether. Mr. Walter Rees then filled the vacancy by giving an excellent ren- dering of "The Alabama Cocn." In response to repeated calls, the chairman now came out of his shell, and obliged, in company with the pianist, wit-h a waltz upon the tin-whistle, after which, being encored, he gave an excellent ren- dering of "The Marseillaise" upon the mouth- organ, at which instrument he is an adept. The music during all this time had been in- terspersed with opportunities for refreshments, and as the hours went on the company mani- fested signs of pleasurable excitement. More songs having been rendered, with more or lees success, the chairman closed the proceedings. Towards the latter part of the concert the hall was most inconveniently crowded. In view of a continuance of these concerts it is a pity that the institution cannot afford a decent piano; the one tha.t did duty on Sunday evening was a disgrace. But, perhaps, as the concert ha* "ron¡r\lt on" so well, some kind-hearted and wealthy Radical lender in the town will supply this deficiency before next Sunday and further, Mr. Councillor John Jenkins might arrange with the Shipwrights' Society toha^e the "holes and crevices" in the instrument properly caulked, for at present the works are very visible. It was anounced at the close of the concert that Mr. Antonio Torres wa-s prepared to supply the members with a "red tie" to wear at Lord Ro*ebery's demonstration on Friday next for the small sum of one shilling.

NATIONAL BANK OF WALES. A Call on Shareholders will Only be Made as a Last Resource. -U we stated would be the oase, a circular was issued on Sa.turday by the liquidators of tthe National Bank of Wales convening a meeting of the shareiholders cm the 24th inst. to dis- cuss a detailed rej>ort of the liquidators during the tirsi year of the winding-up of the concern. The result of tiiit meeting no one can at pre- sent foresee, inasmuch as the report, is not yet completed, and many of the assets have not been realised. In the deed of arrangement with tlie Metropolitan Bank, the latter had the option of taking over such assets and such cus- tomers of the National Bank as they thought advisable, and a. sum amounting ro nearly one million sterling was left to the liquidators to collect. Knowing that a forced realisation of assets during the present depressed state of I trade would not prove advantageous to the I shareholders the liquidators have oontmed their attii;tk,iw> pruicipt»Iiy tÐ tii%* (S5ttec*i<«i or M mwii money as possible from the debtors of the bank.

Unless the valuers of the two banks can agree upon the value of each deed of secu- rity, the matter must, according to the deed of I arrangement, be submitted to arbitration. Un- til this has been done the value of the asset,, at present unrealised cannot be ascertained We understand, however, that there is a veiy st-rong feeling against a. call on the shareholders being made. until every possible step has been taken to satisfy the Metropolitan Bank autho- rities.

He would make her stop cackling when she laid an egg. and he would try to cackle, and crow over it a., though he had laH it. and she would get off in a corner and cluck in a modest, retiring manner, as though she wished to convey- the idea to the servant girls in the kitchen that the rooster had to dÐ all the hard work, and she was only a useless appendage, fit only for society and company for him. But I was disgusted with ham when the poor ben was setting. The first week that she sat on the eggs he seemed to get along first rate.. because he had a. oouple of flower beds to di>? up. which a press of busi- ness had caused him to nesrlect before, and couple of neighbours' gardens to destroy. S) he seemed to be glad to have his hen retire her bourdoir to set. but after he had been shooed out of the gardens and flower bed-, h. scented to be nervous, a,nd evidently w-anted to be petted, and lie would go near the hen and she petted, and he would go near the hen and she v reald seem to tell him to go and fete a walk around the block, because she hsdn t. time to leave her business. a.r.d if she didn t attend to it thev wonkl have a lot of spoiled eggs nit their hand, and no family to bring up- H. would scold, a-nd seem to tell her that it was al! foolishness, that for his part he didn t want to hear a lot of chickens squawking arcuitd. He woudd swin to arirup with her that ?• brood of chickens would be a dead give-awav on thein both, and they would be at once, classed old folks, while if they were alone in the world they would be spring chicken*, a.nd could go in young society, but the lien would soold back, and tell hint he ousht to be ashamed of himself to talk that way. and he would go off mad. and sulk around a spell, and then go to a neighbour'* lien house and sometimes he wouldn't come back till the next- day. The hen would be sorrv she had spoken so cross, and would seeni pained at his going away and would look anxiously for his return, and when he came back after being oirt in tlie rain all a nifjht. she would be solicitous after lias health, and tell him be ought to wra.p something aj-ound him, but he acted as though he didn't care for his health, and he would to 00* again and get chilled through. Finally the hen come off the nest with ten chickens, and the rooster seemed very proud, and when any- body came out to have a look at them he would crow. and seemed to say they were all his chickens, though the hen was a long tune hatching them, and if it had been him thaA wa-, settling ou them he coul tiave hatched I them out in a week, or died trying. But the exposure told on him. and he went into a. decline, and one morning we found him dead. Do you k-n-Nr. I never see a ben that oooned to realise a calamity as she ifd- She looked pale, and her eves looked red, and she seemed to be utterlv crushed. If the chick ens, which were so young thev could not realise that, tJiey were little orphans, became noisy, and got to pulling and hauling over a worm, and roD- ducted themselves in an unseemly majmsr illite would talk to i,hem in her language. with tears in her eves, and it was a picture of woe. But the next day a neighbouring rooster got to looking through the fenoe from the alley, and trying to flirt with her. At first she was indignant, and seemed to te'1 him be ought to go about his business, and L, (Continued in preceding coluicii.J^
