CEOUP is a disease which mostly attacks young children, and the Hi wh) have once had it ere mo. e susceptible of it than befo e: but this gradually wears off as they grow older. it Sf mP-times terminates fatally v.. thin twenty-foui* hours, although when death happens it more ccmmcnly (ccnr" on the fearth or tifth day. It coirniences usually with a slight cough, hoarseness, sneeznsr, as in a common cold, but boon suooefds a peculiar Pbrillness and ringing of the voice as ir the sound were through a biazen tube; then comes the dreadful and distressing hard singing, and crow ng ough, net unlike the barking of a dog. "Whet, this is attended with difficultv of breathing the case calls for imme- diate attention and most active treatment. In this stage persons generally begin to get alaimed; but as it comes on mostly in the middle of the night it often proves fatal, because of the delay occasioned by waiting until the morning without medical aid. The Proprietor, having found tiis CROUP MIXTURE so efficacious ui his own fam'!y, and being blessed as a means of restoring his children repeatedly from this appalling d;sease, he thinks it his duty to parents to give it a greater publicity. He has 1 ad already the heartfelt gratitate of mmy mothers for being the means of restoring their children that were once given up. While we hear of so many deaths from Croup, what a comfort it must De to have a remedy ready at hand. What love can that mother have towards her child that will not procire for herself what has been such a blessing to others, wten it can be obtaii.ed at such a trifling amount. mRSCTTONS FOR USE. In Group, a go-id teaspoonful to be taken imme- diately, and repeated every haif-hour until the child voinite (operates as an em: tic), and if the symptoms will not abate in a few hours it should be given in the same way, and a flannel dipped in Spirits of Camphor applied to the throat, and wetted often. In Whooping Cough, at the eemmenrement, a tea- spoonful evei-y half-hour until the child vomits (operates as an emetic), and a teaspoonful continued two or three times a day. In Coughs, Colds, or Sore Throats, a teaspoonful two or three times a day. The following are a few irom among THOUSANDS OF GENUINE TESTIMONIALS. The Originals may "oe setn at the Proprietors'; any- one doubting their genuineness may write to .Addresses given. From the Right Rev. the LORD BISHOP OF SWANSEA. Dear Sir,-Our children frequently suffer from attacks of Croup, and we have always found Morti- mer's ldíxtUM a sure and safe remedy. My wife saya she would not for anything be without it in the house. Having had experience of its beneficial effects upon our children, we gladly take every oppor- tunity of re ioaimetiding it to our friends. Yours very truiy J. SWANSEA. 66, Miskin-street, Cardiff, Feb. 28th, 1888. To Mr. W. Francis, Chemist, Carmarthen. Dear Sir,—I have to acknowledge the receipt cf »be two bottles of Mortimer's Crojp Mixture. I have found this preparation so very effective in cases ot Crcup and severe Colds that, d. r.ng the (old sea-.on e«p<cially, I always like to have a supply at Hand. Wherever there are children at all subject to Croup it is invaluable. I firmly believe that it has on more than one occasion ea., HI the jVe8 of some of my children. I am by 1:0 means a believer in, or art i>d''ccate of, the jniliscrurinute use of patent Medi- cines, but my experience of Mortimer's Croup Mix- ture has been such that I feel impelled, from a sense of duty to ether parents, to send you this voluntary testimony. Very faithfully yours, B- G. EVANS. From thi- J. THOMAS, Eaptist Minister, Tabernacle Villa, Carnal-then. Dear Sir,—I have great pleasure aa testifying to the rffiiacy of Mortimer s Croup and Covgh Mixture. We always have it in the house, and find it a most bencficial and invaluable remedy in Croup and Whoop. ing Cough. Y >urs truly, J. THOMAS. Penrhos, Newnham-road, Bedford. Sir,—I received the three bottles of Mortimer's Crcup and Whooping Cough Mixture. Please send me twelve more bottles, as my children have all got the Whooping Cough.

Mr. Francis.—Dear Sir,—Please send me another bottle of that valuable medicine for Children—Morti- n.er's Croup and Cough Mixture I never like ro be without it at hand. From long experience I can truly say it is the best mtdicin-; I have used for Croup, Whooping Cough, and all other Coughs in Children. A rever failing remedy in an attack of Crcup. Yours faithfully, D, T. MORRIS. 165, Riehinond-road, Cardiff. Mr. Fran-is.—Dear Si.—Please forward per return post a bottle of Mortimer's Croup Mixture. Why do you net have an agent at Cardiff? I wt.,1 obliged last night to bend for a medical man to attend my child, who had an attack of Group. Had I Mortimer's Crcup Mixture in the house medical aid would have been unnecessary, as I have alw-ys warded off a eenous attack by giving the Croup" Mixture in time. I have used it for many years, and never find it fail. Your* truly, JOHN AARON. PATRONISED BY THE PUBLIC FOR OVER 60 fLUiS. Mar be obtained from any Chemist, in Bottles, at 111. lid.

"Verdict of Nine Hundred."—Under this title Messrs. R. J. Heath and Sons, Queen-street, CanJiJ. pianoforte makers, organ builders, and music ware- housemen, have collected an imposing array of testi- monials aad opinions relating to the Quality at the musical instruments supplied by them. The Arm, is so well known in Cardiff, and, indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England, that it is iiarrtty necessary here to well upon its influence and commanding position. Thw collection of testimonials serves, however, to do something more than certify to the excellence of the instruments furnished by Messrs. Heath and Sons. It shows, in a eense, how ettady is the growth among the general public of a desire for a knowledge of music, and how increu- inirly numerous, even in the homes of the working Classes, are pianos, organs, and harmoniums. 1 treat majority of the letters in this list relate to pianos, and while many- of them have reference ta jiost instruments containing all the latest improvements, suppaed to the well-to-do, the greater number related to serviceable instruments purchased ior the lxjmes of the wage-earning portion of the community. This growing love for so refining an as music is a inost favou rable sign. For though in th-j Principality music has for generations been the chief recreation for the people, it has for the nost part been choral music in connection with churches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instru- mental masie is now, however, receiving its fair hhare of attention, and all those in true sympathv with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials have been received from every quarter of the Principality, while not a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and Borne from South America, India, and other distant countries. All most favourably of Messrs Heath's business method", as well as of their instruments. R.J. JJEATH AND SONS INVITE INSPECTION. N;I/L IR,:A>N; VI'KIT AND VERDICT POST FREE.

NOTE S.
NOTE S. BY "OBSERVER CARDIFF, Friday Morning. Englishmen have not the gift of paying compliments, and, perhaps, the scientiiically- inclined amongst them have even less facility in this direction than the majority of their countrymen. Hence it is, doubtless, that at the banquet last night the mere bald bare 'tirut'ti was told about Mr. John Storrie, and nothing more. Perhaps there was another reason for the absence of all but the most measured praise, viz.. that the chairman had at the outset given a humourous warning, and everyone present knew perfectly well that Mr. Storrie himself can stomach anything better than adulation. And so it came about that, whilst a good deal was said in praise of our scientist, the half was not told-the half, did I say? Nay, it was but a microscopic survey of his immense knowledge and his great abilities. Mr. Storrie is one of those men who abhor all praise and self-advertisement, who do good by stealth and blush to find it fame, and who are much more at home amongst their mioroec-opes and other philosophic paraphernalia than in dispensing or receiving the soap and the butter which the chairman had so quaintily displayed before him early in the evening. Particularly graceful were Mr, Atkinson's allusions to Air. Storrie's unselfish and de- voted labours in connection with the Natura- lists' Society, and it is sad to think that the veteran scientist would have accomplished much more had his efforts not been hampered by adverse influences, which I need do no more than refer to here, having no desire to open old sores that, perliaps, are best left unalluded to. Of one tiling- Mr. Storage may rest assured, that the number of those who are for him are vastly more than those who are against him, and that Mr. Atkinson simply echoed the feelirog of the great bulk of the naturalists in cordially recognising the great and except fioral services, to science in general, and the Society in particular, of the guest of the evening. To obtain anything like an adequate idea of this nne old natural philosopher, one must have the pleasure of his acquaintance. His reserve soon melts away, and you find your- self, perhaps, peering through the microscope at some new wonder of the fossil world, and hear- ing its story told as only a master of his subject can tell it. And unassuming as he is, Mf. Storrie never grudges his knowledge v hat he knows he gives fully and freely tc others -if the want it.—But lie docs not force him- self, he shuns publicity, and hates a fuss: probably by this time my few notes have given him mortal offence, so I pass to other subjects v.ith the eaxrfst prayer lhat Mr. Storrie may be spared for many long years to enrich Car- diff and Wales with his scientific labours. There may be a certain amount of truth in what the Rev. J. M. Jones told his fellow Christian Endeavourers yesterday about moder.i sports and amusements; but like most men who think like him he went a deal too far. Where should we be as a nation if Mr. Jones and his friends had their way? We should pioliably see a vast multitude of pale, spec- tacled youths, with jracts sticking out of their pockets, ambling meditatively along, and refreshing themselves with "Twinkle, twinkle, little star," and such like sober ditties; and ii would be all very good and nice. But where should we be aa a nation? Mr. Robert Bird was about as unpractical as the Rev. Joi-es, for he girded fiercely at thO) press for "pouri ig out filthy and moral poison, and not hesitating to sacrifice decency and healthy morale to sordid gain," and so on, and so forth. Doubtless there is sonvo truth in this in certain isolated cases; but, as far as the press of England in general, or even of the world is concerned, it is a gross and a scandalous libel, and, if I had my way, the author of it should be rolled thrice through our "Express" machine until he had such distorted and uncharitable notions crushed out of him for good and for ever! Seriously speaking, the Rev. J. M. Jones and Mr. Bird and other holy beings of that ilk spoils their case by going too far. These mar- vellous men would be too particular for the Founder of their own religion, and if they had seen the water turned ,into wine, it would swiftly have been further transformed into vinegar, from the sour glances of such straight- laced brethren. I am pleased to know that the melancholy spirit of these ultra good people is not reflected by all Christian Endeavourers, else would the prospects of a society destined to do much good and excellent and useful work be poor, indeed. That many of the Endeavourers have minds of their own was proved by the interruptions when Miss Hutchins, of Tredcgar, condemned the theatre after a fashion that leads one to think the good lady could never have been inside its doors. It was also stated that the theatre would never become a place for Chris- tian people to visit. Then "Christian people" ere found very, very often in the wrong place, and if a census could be made, say of local Christians, and the places they visit both here and when up in town, some folk beside Miss Hutchins, of Tredegar, would open their eyes very, very wide, indeed! If there be things in the amusements and the literature of the age to which good people (whether Christian or not) can seriously take exoeption, they will best serve their generation, not by rolling up their eyes and holding up their hands in pious horror, but by leavening the lump and working at the evils, and noo vetoing amusement in general, simply because it has its flaws- When scoffers condemn Christianity because of the gross hypocrisy of some of its professors the religious world is up in arms and bursting with righteous indignation. Yet che very same good folk do exactly likewise when they condemn amusement in the mass because here and there evil is undeniably to be found. Common-sense, my dear and pious friends, let this be liberally mingled with your sentiments, not forgetting a strong dose of sweet reasonable- ness. the grace of charity, a.nd the milk of human kindness. SIB,—As you have stated in your columns, the county council has obtained an order protecting the eggs of the kingfisher and goldfinch under the provisions of the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1894. In order to ensure detection of offenders the committee of this society is willing to give a reward of 10s. to any person enving such infor- mation as shall procure a conviction for tho taking or destroying of the eggs of the birds above-named. I shall be obliged if you will kindly give publicity to this offer.—I am, &c. WALTER COOK, Hon. Sec. Cardiff Naturalists' Socioty. May 15. My attention has been called to the row- dyism existing m Frederick-street, of wlli..Il the police appear totally oblivious. Residents affirm that they never see a constable, and that the racket in the street, both by day and night, is unbearable. Moreover, gangs of youths playing pitch and tosa add to the general rumpus. Complaints of this kind are made by residents in other streets, and our "guardians of the peace" should see to it that something is done to mitigate a common and most unpleasant nuisance.

Honouring John Storrie.
Honouring John Storrie. A COMPLIMENTARY LINNEK AT CARDIFF. -Public Recognition of the Great and Useful Services of this Student of Nature. A man of wide and varied knowledge is Mr. John Storrie. If you would know all about the mastadon. or about the most obscure plant in the district, if you are desirous of ascertaining how the Romans worked their iron. or why the Britons named such and such a place in such and such a way, whether your line be coins or china, whether it be the earth beneath, with its treasures present or pre- historic, or any other department of scientific or quasi-scientific knowledge, go to Mr. Storrie, and if he cannot enlighten you, it may be difficult to find an answer, at any rate, in Wales Add to a mind thus richly stored a somewhat brusque deportment, a rugged exterior, a keen, but not unkindly, face, an accent that reminds you of the North Countree," and the most modest and unassuming of demeanours, and you have some idea of one who has done yeoman service in the cause of science in the Principality, and who takes rank with those who, with rarest patience, MR. JOHN STORRIE. -?- are adding golden grains in plenty to the harvest of human know- ledge. John Storrie was born in 1844 at Muiryett, in the parish of Cambus- nethan, Lanark, and was educated at various schools, amongst them St. David's, Glasgow, to which city the lad's parents had removed. Having left school, young Storrie was appren- ticed to the printing trade, which, with the exception of some years spent on the Cale- donian Railway, he followed, first in the North, afterwards at Barrow and Manchester, and finally in the South of England and in Wales. So much for his trade.but out of business hours the young man laid the foundations of that scientific and general knowledge which was to stand him in such excellent stead in after years. As a mere lad, he took an inte- rest in botany. He commenced collecting the plants of the district where lie lived, and by-and-bye had such a capital and representa- tive collection that he gained the annual prize awarded by a Glasgow merchant of the name of Ewing for the best collection of Scottish alpine plants. This success stimulated the youth, who by-and-bye gained scholastic distinctions in botany and other department's, and who also applied himself to geology with much success. In this branch he was fortu- nate to make the acquaintance of the late Pro- fessor Page, of Glasgow, the eminent geo- logical authority and author. Professor Page was lame, and unable to accompany his students in their rambles. Mr. Storrie, how- ever, performed this service for him, pointing out the various strata and the like, and gaining himself an intimate knowledge of the great! book of Nature thus spread open before him. Wherever he worked Mr. Storrie took a scien- tific interest in the neighbourhood, and early contributed to the various local papers. Com- ing to Cardiff, as an employe of the "Western Mail," he at once interested him- self in the museum movement,, which had iust been initiated by the late Mr. W. Adams. F.G.S. This institu- tion was opened in St. Mary-street in the even- ings, and Mr. Storrie was appointed custodian. But he was not content with mere indoor work: he wandered everywhere, collecting specimens and-enriching at once the museum I with fresh treasures and his own mind with new facts in abundance. Leaving Cardiff for a time, Mr. Storrie returned, and on the open- ing of the present museum in Trinity-street became its curator. Here he laboured with honour and 'success until a recent period, when he resisted, amidst the general regret of a large circle of friends and admirers. Mr. Storrie's earliest contribution of any moment was made to the "Transactions" of the Cardiff Naturalists' Society, a body with which he has been associated from the commencement, and on which he has reflected no little dis- tinction. Mr. Storrie early aimed at form- ing a complete flora. of the district covered by the society, a task of no mean magni- tude when it is remembered that the area represents practically the whole of East Glamorganshire. The first step was a series of notes on the ballast plants of Cardiff and neighbourhood. Ballast brings to everv sea- port many plants indigenous to other locali- ties, but no list so extensive has been pre- pared for any other town as that of Mr. Storrie. This catalogue was the precursor of a larger work published for the author by the Naturalists' Society in 1836. viz.. the Flora of Cardiff, a descriptive list of the indigenous plants found in the district of the Cardiff Society, and incorporating the ballast catalogue already mentioned, the whole being the result of a. dozen years' hard and un- remitting research. It is pleasant to know that a valuable addition to this labour of love exists in MS., which it is earnestly to be hoped may shortly see the light in a per- manent form. Besides his researches in natural history, Mr. Storrie has done impor- tant geological work, better known to the scientific world than to the general public. Amongst other things, he has discovered the remains of a hitherto unknown species of mastodonsa-urus fit Lavernock, and has in- vestigated the structure of its tooth, illus- trating his observations with fine photo- graphs of the curious and beautiful dental structure, obtained bv himself at the micro- scope. Another species of m astodonsaurus is figured bv the great paleontologist. Sir Richard Owen, but the remains (w? believe) are much less perfect than those found by Mr. Storrie. For vears our scientist has been working at the Silurian deposits at Rumnev, and at length made such progress that he was able to submit, some of tl)e more curious vegetable remains to the authorities at Kew and the British Museum. Sir W. Hooker deputed a competent investigator to examine them, with the result that they were found to be almost unique. In fact, only three snecies a.re known to be in existence, and, as Mr. Storrie's is the oldest, the name Nema- tophycus Storriei bestowed upon it is well deserved, as is also the honour the discovery received in being described in the "Annals of Botanv," and submitted to the most distin- guished foreign and American professors. Besides this. Mr. Storrie had the pleasure of reading a paper on his "find" before the British Association, and of illustrating his results bv a visit paid, in company with the British Association members, to the deposits at Rumney. Mr. Storrie has worked, and is work inc. in various other departments, and the field of his investigations is as wide as he is thorough in his methods. His dis- coveries of Roman remains at Llantwit, Caer- went, and Ely are pretty well known to our readers through Mr. Storrie's own contribu- tions to the "Western Mail," and his re- searches on the use of coal by the Romans in the making of iron have quite a classic in- terest. Other matters occur to us as we write, but it would take much more space than is at our disposal to do iustiee to them: but we may I"st note that Mr. Storrie is now busily at work on the ceradotus; a huge fish which inhabited these parts in the geologic epochs, and whose immense teeth and scales show abundantly what [I, for- midable monster it must have been. He is also completing investigations into the fossil woods of South Walesa subject on which he has already compiled more than one paper. Long may this accurate, earnest, -and I true-hearted investigator be spared to Cardiff ?_.??- and to Wales, the scientific honour of which he has laboured to sustain with such disin- terested zeal and such conspicuous success THE DINNER. A complimentary dinner in Mr. Storrie's honour took place on Thursday evening at the Park Hotel. Mr. R. Drane presided, and the other gentlemen present were Mr. Atkinson (president Naturalists' Society), Mr. Walter Cook, Professor Galloway, Professor Thomp- son, Professor Pirker, Mr. Edwin Seward, the Rev. George St. Clair, Mr. Thomas Evens, Mr. W. E. R. Allen, Mr. A. Pettigrew, Mr. W. W. Pettigrew. Mr. Charles Morgan, Mr. A. E. Morgan, Mr. Mattock, Mr. Low, Mr. Mitchell, Mr Taylor, Mr. Templeton. and Messrs. Neale and Howard, hon. secretaries. After dinner letters of apology for absence were read from Messrs. E. R. Corbett, W. Turner, A. H. Trow, C. T. Whitmell, Colonel Turbervill, Ivor James, Hei ue. t Thompson, J. Pyke Thompson, — Gaskell, Alderman Rees, Alderman T. Jones (Newport), — Culley, J. Moore, — Dakyns (Government Geological Surrey), and Dr. Fiddian. The balance-sheet of the testimonial fund was also read; showing that a sum of JE200 clear remained to present to Mr. Storrie. The Chairman in the course of a very humorous address, which he characterised as a maiden speech, eulogised Mr. Storrie, and invited those present to drink his health. He also had pleasure in informing the company that the Marquess of Bute had allowed his name to be added to the fund for £ 21. (Applause.) Fur- ther, that Count Solmo, of the Strasburg University, and four officers of the Geological Survey, who came in contact with Mr. Storrie and recognised his worth, were also subscribers. He thought it should be known that the X200 now presented to Mr. Storrie did not quite represent the entire sum subscribed, there being a small outstanding balance, retained for an ulterior purpose for his benefit. If that purpose was not realised, the balance, whatever it might be, would be handed over to him. Mr. Atkinson said no one was more sensible of the great work and services of Mr. Storrie than himself. He had been a member of the Naturalists' Society since the commence- ment, and anyone looking through its Tran-. sactions could see what excellent work Mr Storrie had accomplished in connection with the society. Professor Huxley had said it would be worth £10,000 to the State to produce another Faraday, and they could with confidence call Mr.. Storrie their local Faraday. He simply echoed the spirit of the meeting when he wished their truest every possible prosperity and success. (Applause.) Mr. Evens concurred in what Mr. Atkinson had said, and eulogised the practical services of Mr. Storrie to the town of Cardiff. It-would be an inestimable loss to that county were Mr. Storrie to sever his connection with it. Professor Parker spoke feelingly of the invalu- able services Mr. Storrie had rendered to the biological section of the Naturalists2 Society. In fact, he had been to it a tower of strength, ever ready with his help and assistance. Mr. Storrie possessed the true scientific spirit, and was a genius in the highest and best sense of the word. Mr. Pettigrew had known Mr. Storrie for twenty years, and could speak to his marvellous botanical knowledge, which he had never known surpassed. His work on the flora of Cardiff would not suffer by comparison with any similar undertaking anywhere else. (Applause.), Mr. T. H. Thomas also warmly eulogised Mr. Storrie, and expressed his deep personal obliga- tions to him His knowledge of palaaontology. for instance, was most profound, and he could at once gauge the value of the roughest and most unpromising specimen. He was a genius, and possessed in the highest degree the faculty of taking pains. The toast having been honoured, Mr. Storrie, who, unfortunately, was far from well, replied in a few brief and well-chosen words, in which he said they had much exag- gerated his capacity, and that he was deeply grateful for all their kindness. He concluded by proposing the health of the chairman, whose reply brought the toast list to a close.
DISESTABLISHMENT.
DISESTABLISHMENT. THE APPOINTMENT OF THREE COMMISSIONERS. The Press Association learns that, owing to the illness of Mrs. Asquith, the Home Secretary has postponed the interview which the Welsh members, headed by Sir George Osborne Morgan, were to have had with him this (Friday) evening on the subject of the authority by whom the temporalities of the Welsh Church are to be administered after Disendowment. There is a conflict of opinion between the Government and the Liberal members for Welsh constituencies on the sub- ject, the former having nominated three Com- missioners, while the latter at a recent private meeting unanimously resolved in favour of a National Council. MB. S. T. EVANS'S INACCURACIES. WELSH PARISHES AND NONCON- FORMIST CHAPELS. The "South Wales Star" (Newport) says:- Mr. S. T. Evans, one of the Welsh Nationalist party who are doing their best to bring "Yr hen Fam" to ruin, speaking in Parliament on the Welsh Church Bill on Monday afternoon, is reported to have said that "there is no parish: in Wales which has not its Nonconformist (.'Impel service, either by a resident or itinerant! minister, nor was there a want of pastoral oare." This is on a par with the veracity of statements usually made by opponents of the Church. We would like our readers who have noticed the above statement to peruse the following list of parishes in Monmouthshire alone in not one of which is there said to be any chapel or place for public worship which is not in connection with the Church which it is sought to disestablish and disendow: Parishes in Monmouthshire alone without a Nonconformist chapel: Bettws, Bettws-newydd, Bryngwyn, Coedkernew, Cwmcarvan, Dinge- stow, Dixton, Ifton, Itton, Kemeys Com- mander, Kemevs Inferior, Llanarth, Llanbadoc, Llandegveth, Llanelen, Llanfihangel, Ponty- moile, Llanfoist, Llangattock Lingoed, Llan- g-attock-nigh- U sk, Llangattock vibon Avel, Llangeview, Llangovan, Langstone, Llangua, Llanhennock, I^lanllowell, Llansantffraed Llansoy, Llanthewy Skirrid, Llanthewy Vach, Llantillio Pertholey, Llantrissent, Llanvair Dis- coed, Llanvair Kilgeddin, Llanvihangel-juxta- Roggiett, Llainvihangel-yestern-Llewern, Llan- wpnarth Citra., Llanwern, Malpas, Mamhilad, Mitchel Troy, Monkswood Chapel.

At Llanarth we believe there is a small Roman Gatholio chapel, and at Penrhos a small Non- conformist chapwl which is seldom used unless all itinerant who loves to hear his own voice cares to turn UP. and then he is not sure of finding a Quorum. SUCCESSFUL MEETING AT KID- WELLY. On Tuesday evening a. successful meeting in defence of the Church in Wales was held at the Town-hall, Kidwelly, under the presi- dency of Mr. T. W. A. Evans, J.P., Rumsey House. There WM a very large and appre- ciative audience, the speakers being Mr. E. Amos, F.R.Hif>t.Soc.; organising secretary of the Church Defence Association; the Rev. W. H. Jones, curate-of St. Paul's Parish, Llanelly; and Mr. Byron Reed. The speeches oi each of these gentlemen- were listened to with great attention, aind a.t the end severa.1 questions were put by several opponents of* the Chtircli, and most satisfactorily alJswprerl- A resolution protesting against the Disestab- lishment Bill, believing that if passed it would be a g:eat injustice to religious interests m Wales, was proposed, seconded, and carried by a great majority. The vicar of Kidwelly (the Rev. D. D. JoTies. B. A.) and his curate (the Rev. Morgan Richards) were present oi. the platform.
LOCAL VETO BILt.
LOCAL VETO BILt. THE MEASURE 18. SAID TO BE ABANDONED. The "Yorkshire Post" says:—One absolutely Certain result of the Walworth ejection, writes our London correspondent-, is that nothing more will be heard of the Local Veto Bill. Glad- stonians believe, and, probably, rightly, that that ill-starred measure contributed more than any other Single cause to ensure the magnificent triumph which the Unionists achieved, and they are, consequently, not at all inclined t<^ sit down quietly while other seats are lost for the same reason. An informal intimation to this effect has been conveyed to headquarters, and it will be followed, if necessary, by more definite action. But, doubtless, the hint will be taken. Ministers are lwdt so entirely blind not to see that to persist with the Bill would be suicidal.

ROYAL FISH IN THE SEVERN. Two fine sturgeons have recently been taken from the River Severn, each of which nearly turned the seies at- Icwt. The first was.caught by Mv. D<twle, of Aylburton, in the Lydney district and the second by Mr. Millar's men, who were w«xkinor a. stunning net at Newnham.

Thomas, is the Shah of Welsh politics. He is, all alone, the executive of <ho South Wales Liberal Federation. In the May number ot 'Out and Home—the Suez Canal and,Eastern Journal," there is .an excellent portrait and sketch of Sir W illiam Thomas Lewis. Names don't count for much, after all. It was shown at Newport County-court on Thurs- day that in the building trade the term "shoddy" applies to a stone of superior, and not inferior, .quality. A Welsh preacher held forth with a grea hwyl on the, Passover last Sunday. Oh brethren, what a feast he exclaimed people who had not had a chop for years had a whole lamb to themselves." A member of the Swansea. County Council ia reported to have said at Wednesday's meeting: —'T mean to say, sir, what is goose—I mean what is soose for the gauce—that is gauce for the sander." Oh. thunder! A woman who applied to the committee of the Aberdare Industrial School to take out a little boy was asked to what religious denomina- tion she belonged. "Tlie same as my brother," was the exceedingly indefinite reply, "only he drinks and I don't." A Cardiganshire farmer, who is only on visiting acquaintance witrn the English lan- guage, writes to a Cardiff man: "I beg to enclosed a sample of extra white flarnel and another patron to make shirts into men and dress in to women," &0. It is a supposition amongst Welsh historians that i.ho famous author of the "Gododin," Areurin, the bard, who flo^rish^ in the sixth century, made his way in his old age to Glamorgan, and ended his days in the cottage of Cattwg, at Llancarvan. The Independents at Dowlais have resolved to revive the great "oymmanfa ganu," the last of which was conducted by the late "Eos Mor- bus." Mr. Harry Evans, A.R.C.O., has been chosen as conductor of the festival, which will be held on the first Monday in March. next In byegone days the post went to Dinas Mav ddwy.. only once. every fortnight. In consequence of this the vicar was kept in ignorance of the death of King William, and it is said he prayed for his Majesty for four- teen days after Queen Victoria ascended the throne. A member of the Cardigan Guardians gave notice that the board petition Parliament in favour of closing all public-houses on election days, and another member suggested an addition that all lawyers should be shut up therein; but a local editor wanted preachers locked up instead. On the golf links at Porthcawl one re^nt Wed- nesday there was a big burly golfer who is not accustomed to play with any great success, hut he managed to hit the ball high, but no great distance forward. "Johnny," said he to the caddie, that was a good stroke." Yes,- sir." was the reply; "I think it wo'ihl 110 if the hole was in H!1'1"!ll." French ironmasters have long enjoyed the advantage of getting thoroughly good, practical Welshmen in their employ. In one of the leading steelworks at Nantes a former work- man a.t the Waterloo Works, Maclien, is now the chief manager, and has well justified the selection made by two French gentlemen when on a visit by them to Monmouthshire. One of the last barbarous burials of suicides. after the old-fasl. ioned manner—tlie interment at night by torches, and a stake driven through nhe body—took place many years ago in close vicinity to the present Cyfarthfa Church, Mer' hyr, but it is doubtful if any of the throng of worshippers who attend t'here are aware that every time they do so they walk over the suicide's grave. Mr. D. Stephens, a nephew of the "tri biawd," >'s preparing an album of Brecon Memorial College. It will contain, among i."any other things, two chapters on "Pre- getlnvyr Cymru Fu and .Pregethwyr Cymru Fydd." In the latter the writer will deal with the problems of the day and the attitude which the rising Christian ministry in Wales must assume towards those problems in order to maintain the position of the Christian Church. A hundred years ago, at the Shrewsbury fair, it was the custom a..t nigh; for a gang of men to patrol the, town, unscrew all- tlitv knockers, remove and alter the .-ignlxjards, putting a. barber's pole oyer an ¡rOnm011ger'6 shop, and do other singular ruicl outrageous things. Some of these customs strayed mto Wales, and in the iron districts half a century ago young sparks.-were in the habit of transposing signs; putting a publican's occasionally over a chaps) door. The tall hat is not indigenous to Wales, but was first made after a Welsh model. Many years ago there was in use in Wales a kind of hat or cap made from green rushes called in some places "capau cornicyll," from Its rtsemblance to the crown of the pewit or the plover. Thirty and forty years ago the art of making these caps had not entirely dis- appeared, for country children often diverted the-iiLselv?s by "manufacturing" them and mas- querading in them. The stride in telegraphy is remarkable. A day or two ago a gentleman in Glamorgan had a cablegram from Africa which had only taken a couple of hours to transmit. Ninety years ago, according to old Welsh journal*, there was quite a ferm?nt in the Principality, caused by the annour cement that a. line of communication was to be established between Milford and London, nd that. although these places were 250 miles upart, "intelligence will be convoyed in three hours 1" It is the dream of Mr. T. P. O'Connor and his young men to run literature and journalism in single harness. Our Merthyr reporter is a convert, and he dresses up his police news as follows :—Elizabeth Sullivan, a woman of no importance, who, however, recognises the im. portance of being earnest—in the pursuit of an pyil life—was at Merthyr Police-court on Thursday fined 15s. and costs, or fourteen days, for drunkenness, and a similar sum for assault- ing Police-constable Mallett whilst in the exe- cution of his duty. "Dvfed" once discoursed to several millions at one and the same tUlle. J twas, during his ieceiio visit to the Ea.it. He and his party were on the top of one of the high peaks of the Lebanon, some six or seven thousand feei high. A storm swept down upon them, and they were obliged to lush for the nearest house. It was that of an Arab, who, fortu- nately, cared more for backsheesh than a dry skin, and he was bought out for the night, giving his "bed" to "Dyfed" and his party. Here the poet met the innumerable company already alluded to—only the poet, with a sly wink, tells us they were fleas! Dr. Wallace, one of the Scotch members of Parliament, is tired of Disestablishment talk. This is how he writes to Ute London "Star" :—■ "Mfc.ii groan audibly over it in the lobbies, and inwardly over it in the House.
