-----------BRAY'S PATENT STONE…
BRAY'S PATENT STONE STILL. THE INVENTION OF A SWANSEA BOY. Weare pleased to observe that a "Swansea Boy,' Eray, F.C.S.. manager of the Broadmoor Chemical Company, Cinderford, and formerly a pupil of the late Dr. Wm. Morgan, public analyst at Swansea, and son of Mr. D. Bray of the Inla-d Revenue, Swansea, lias suc- ceeded in patenting an invention which is likely to be of oreat value to chemical manufacturers. The apparatus has been in constant use by the catentee for over 18 months, and has therefore been thoroughly tested before bringing it before the public. It consists of a square shaped vessel, the four sides, bottom, and coyer of which are constructed of suitable acid re-isting- s-oue, jointed with indiarubber. The wdiole is held together with iron bands securely bolted. In the cover are two holes, one in the centre for the reception of the still he-id, and the smaller hole nearer the side to receive the CONTINUOUS FEED APPA- RATUS which is a tube wit!, a funnel-shaped top for the inlet of a continuous supply of llutterial from the storing tank, and is so regulated that it runs into the still throng,i the self-feeding appa- ™tu* at the same rate as the uistirtate is con- densed I''V this means the liquid in the still is aenseu. therefore, when once kep,at the same ^"orvision, this also pre- -statted ie<im.e» i, vin<>- to cool from time to mil, c..

Ulie (Eambrwit. SWANSEA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1897. LAND AND lio(-SE PROSPECTS. As we have recently pointed out, there are indications, not very perceptible, it is true? of a welcome rise in the value of land and house property in Swansea and distric within the next few years. Of late house property has been at a painful discount in consequence of the iniudicous enterprise of speculative builders. Once these gentle- men started building they could not stop If they did the crash caine, and the story was either told in the Bankruptcy Court or in the office of the mortgagees' solicitors. But it could not continue thus for ever. The change for the better has already set in, and many houses that were empty six months or so ago are now tenanted. A strong local company has been formed for the development of the Coed Saeson Estate at Sketty on principles altogether new to this part of the country, and, as stated by us last week, a London syndicate has under, consideration a scheme for the opening up of the land between Bracelet and Langland Bays. The improvement in land and house property is more marked in and around Mumbles than anywhere else in this district t It is a matter for surprise that land does no at present attract more investors- fe new far-seeing men are buying real estate, know- ing probably that there will not be such a chance for years to come. That there will come a more quickened demand—if that demand has not set in already—for real property as an investment seems certain. Money is being made in many industries. This money will need employment. The company mania is 011 the whole dying down indeed, it would appear that history Is about to repeat itself in regard to limited liability concerns. Some years ago there was a great boom in public companies. People rushed wildly to put their money into any and every coucern. Then after a time came the reckoning. Investors made new resolutions, and turned their attention to land. There came a run and a rush in the land property market, with what result is known. It is not unlikely that we shall shortly see some- thin, of tlle same kind occur again. Land still has its attractions for men with money, ard agricultural prospects are improving. Fair rents can now be paid in many parts of the country, and at to-day's rents and prices land yields fair interest, considering the stability of the security. Considering all the circumstances the outlook for the owners and cultivators of land, agricultural and building, is more rosy and promising than it has been for some time past.
------.. FRENCH AND GERMAN…
FRENCH AND GERMAN EXPORTS. M. Maurice Schwob has published a work in Paris entitled Le Danger Allemam?. The writer does not touch on Alsace-Lorraine or swollen armaments. The German danger to which he calls the attention of his countrymen is an actuality, not a possibility, and he gives it startling prominence by a succinct comparison of French and German trade. He compares French and German exports to the United States from 1825 to 1895, and shows that since 1886 the exports of Germany have maintained a superior value to those of France. He takes special exports of home productions as a whole, and here Germany has taken the lead of France since 1877 and has increased it, the German trade for 1895 being over 4,100,000,000 francs while that of France was under 3,400,000,000 francs. He turns to the mercantile marine and finds that Germany owned 1,100,000 tons in 1876, which had increased to over 1,600.000 tons in 1894, whereas France had 1,000,000 tons in the former year, and only 900,000 tons in the latter. The comparison of steam tonnage shows still more to the advantage of Germany. It is the same with the export of sugars. That of France is decreasing, whilst that of Germany has advanced by strides since 1879. And so on through this book, M. Schwob unrolls a long trade record reaching all over the world, and displaying everywhere the commercial defeat of France and the triumphant industry of her German rival. This commercial and industrial expansion is the true basis of German power, the indax of the inherent energy of the nation. The process is going on independent of Imperial speeches, which neither harm nor aid it, and it cannot be counteracted by political alliances. It is the development of a strong people, and proceeds by a natural law above that of King or Kaiser. The only weapons that can be used against it are its own industry, energy, intelligence. And the danger threatens us 110 less than France. Unless we gird ourselves up to combat it with the arms above-named, the time may come when M. Schwob may point to his book and say, Dr te tabula yiarratur.
. MUMBLES OYSTERS.
MUMBLES OYSTERS. THEIR VALUE TO OLD AND YOUNG. ABSURDITY OF THE RECENT SCARE. The sensational statements made by a few gentlemen last week anent the Mumbles oyster perches have not yet been proved to contain the slightest foundation in fact. The Medical Officer of Health, Dr. W. Bevan, has publicly stated that the perches are absolutely free from contam- ination a committee of local experts have demonstrated beyond all doubt that it is almost impossible for the sewage deposited in the Sounds—four hundred yards away from the oyster beds—to be cariied lack more than forty yards by the currents, and a Govern- ment inspector has given it as his opinion, based upon practical knowledge, that the Mumbles perches rank among the best situated and purest in the kingdom. In the face of these facts it is difficult to understand the attitude adopted by the few gentlemen who started the scare. It would be dignified and magnanimous on their pirt were they to admit that they have made a uiistake) and thus help to undo the mischief they hive un- wittingly perpetrated, or make efforts to substan- tiate the allegations. A Government blue-book published a few months ago referred to the Mumbles perches and oysters in most favourable tirms, and went so far as to express the wish that other perches were so advantageously situated. For the past few years the oyster has b 2en alter- nately blessed and banned. The repeated visit- ations of the influenza. epidemic and the sjare as to the possibility of conveying typhoid germs have caused the bivalve to be both ordered and prohibited bydictors, with the result that the huge trade of which the oyster is the centre has been unsettled and uncertain. It would be but reverting to ancient history to tell of the exhaustive expaiiments conduced 0:1 behalf of the commission of inquiry to see whether the typhoid bacillus could live within an oyster, or how it was conclusively established by the mo-t learned experts, with all the forcing apparatus and "bell-broth" of a complete laborato^ that the conditions under which it was even possible' we so infinitely rjmote as to be practically Uon_ existent, and the bivalve was shown to be a. liafer article of food than most of the things in daily and unquestioned consumption Hut, to the great unscientific pubLc who understand not germ-growth, and to whom it conveys but little idea to be told that the typhoid bacilli introduced into oysters actua.ly decreased in strength and malignancy, an appeal to mere 0 jmnion-sense may be far more convincing. To permit se>vage in any furm to reach oyster beds is fatal to them as the spat is killed by the noxious flow ot drainage and other cLum eals as soon as touched by it. The gentlemen who are lesponsible for the Mumbles scare assert that sewage is deposited on the oyster perches. Anl yet the oysters bred thlrc are among the best, richest and most prolific in the kingdom. l'ue scire may do some gOJd. It may influence the Mumbles District Council to take prompt steps to ascertain whether it is necessary to extend the main sewer beyond the Inner aud into the Outer Sound, and whether the valve connected with the outlet is properly looked after. At present some sewage is occasionally seen in the water around the pier—a nuisancewhichshoutd certainiy not be allowed to exist at the com- mencement of next season. This is a phase of the question which the Council should take into consideration without delay, for tie sake of the district as a health and pleasure resort. The oyster industry at Mumbles is lut what it was years ago, for which tlie merchants and dredgers alone are to blame. What was once a very flourishing trade has sadly deteriorated n., the result of crass ignorance and avarice. Of late years it has improved a little, and under present conditions will continue to improve. Piolably very few are aware of the vast faith that the working-clai-s mother, particularly in Ljiidon, has in the nutritive qualities of the oyster for a sick infant who may be unable to retain milk upon its stomach and the chief dealers at Billingsgate have almost daily appeals made to them, which in their charity of heart they scarcely ever refuse if the request appears a genuine one, for just a couple of oysters 'cos baby's SJ bad." In many case.* it has proved exactly the easily diges'-el food required, and there is no question that many a little life has been saved in this way, even as those of older growth can often think gratefully of what the oyst.r has done for them in the limited dietary of the sick room. EMPHATIC DENIAL BY THE INSPECTOR. \t a meetlno- of the Glamorgan Sea F sheries f'fmmitie" held at Swansea 011 Tuesday under the presidency of Alderman Tutton, Inspector m-ide the following reference 111 his to the Mumbles Oyster Fisheries :—" I 1° '• loticed in the public Press that at a meeting f Y? "c.fnitarv Committee an assertion was made of tje I. j nem|,)evs that tiie outlet to the draiu- byo-ico *lbies discharged across the oyster beds' I mu-t mo-t emphatic illy deny this, as I am often 0111 he oyster beds and plantation*, and at i;- i,„vo T seen any sign ot sewage deposit. n^vT^be i Se current at that place. From I Lave „uoUt two hours' flood they set low water to aboiu' then the beds arc away slowly » thut^ts direct out towards Wackpill for a short time, then it sets dn-ectout through the sands and around the Mumble,, Head? Furthermore, the Oystermouth Local Board has provided a large tanK, sufficiently large to hold the whole ot the drainage and 24 hours' continuous ordinary rain. A valve is ojKjned and the whole discharged; and a;Mvlien the tide is ebbing one hour. About two.yoars ago the pipes in connection with the drainage Mere extended to the eastward about 300 feet. There was no complaint then and there should be none now, and it is quite unjustifiable."—The Chairman said the allegations came to him as a great surprise, but he ventured to doubt them. and said so at the last meeting of the Swan-ea County Council, and the words of the inspector quite confirmed the position he then took up. He was told by the keeper of one of the biggest fish shops in the town that he had never known a case of illness arising from eating Mumbles oysters or any ill effects.—Several other members having spoken in a similar strain, the report was adopted.

Human existence t* girt round v:ith mystery the narrow region oj^ our experience i-< a xmali island in the mid at of a boumllexs sea, n-kich at o>ice awes our feelings and stimulates our imagination by its castness and obscurity. T» add to the mystery, the domain of our earthly existence is not only an island in infinite siMct'. but also in infinite time.—J. S. MILL. We are not among those who believe Swansea to be the worst-governed town in the kingdom: that things are, which would not be tolerated in any other place, and that many of our public men are naught but time-servers, who place the interests of the ratepayers subservient to their own personal aggrandisement. Our ad- ministration is far from perfect, we must admit. It too frequently reveals weaknesses that ought to be remedied. But Swansea has enough sins of omission and commission to her credit without having them unjustifiably added to. What must strangers who read or hear half of what is written and said about the town just now imagine 1- That corruption and wrong-doing reign supreme here. That almost every public scheme is promoted with sordid private interests as the propelling power. That Swansea is a pocket edition of the Chicago of ten years ago; Swansea is nothing of the sort. But the town has suffered and is suffeiing now to a large extent as the result of this continual fouling of the nest. It was this that Mr. Monro, H.M. s Inspector of Schools, lecently deplored in a public speech. He administered a well-deserved rebuke to those who seem to find delight in decrying the tjwn and finding fault with almost everything done- The fouling of the nest continues, however, and the "enemy within the gate" have secured the services of outsiders who seize upon every opportunity to hold the town and port up to ridicule. Facts are distorted figures are manipulated with the ostensible object of making them convey what they do not; sinister suggestions are made upon every word and act of some of our public men-in fact, everything is done to misrepresent the town and to create unjust impressions about the way public business is transacted. In our schooldays we told that" Sticks and stones may break my bones, bat names will never hurt me. The adage is not so trutaful now as it probably was in the day, of its author. Throw mud and some of it is sure to stick. Some of it sticks to Swansea. It would be easy to remove had we only the-enemies outside the gates to deal with.

The standard of excellence has been showing a steady improvement during the past few years, and this year it has reached high water mark, a fact upon which Principal Salmon an 1 his excellent s,ta.ff are to be complimented. It will be learned with widespread regret that the Rev. W. Williams, the late pastor of Argyle Chapel, is lying seriously ill at his residence in Terrace-road. The venerable preacher attended the Mayor's vecpt'on on Tuesday in connection with the Presbyterian Conference, and was expected to preside at a communion service on Thursday morning. His sudden illness, how- ever, prevented him carrying out his intention, and so serious was his condition considered that Dr. Ebenezer Davies, his medical attendant, was immediately sent for. In the United States the nominal limit per shift in the tin-plate trade is 581. boxes, so that South Walians voluntarily load their trade with a tax of nearly 45 per cent on the output alone, and then expect to compete with the Americans, says the Ironmonger. The wages of the men in South Wales cannot be said to be other than handsome. They are in excess of those of the engineers who are now on strike, and. in particular, the rollerman could earn quite 17s. 6d. or even £1 a day if they did all they were able to do. It follows, there- fore, that if these men acccpted the reduction of 25 per cent off the 1874 list, and abolished their restrictive policy, they could still earn most liberal pay, and, what is more, help to preserve their trade in South Wales. The cost per box of 14 by 20 I.C. 108 lb?. Bessemer-steel plates, f.o.b. Swansea conies out at 9s. per box. The new United States duty is 6s. 6d. per box, so that the cost per box landed in America is about 15s. 10d.. whereas the American plates are sold at 14s. 2gd- per box. "Under such conditions," continues the Ironmonger, it needs no special gift of prevision to see that we are bound to lose our trade, not only with the United States, but also with other countries, unless the Welsh workers agree to reduced rates of wages and abolish the absurd restriction of the make per Shift." We regret to announce the death of Father Turner, O.S.B., of St. Anne's Priory, Edgeliiil. which took place at the Ramsgate Hospital on Sunday, the 19th inst. He was about 45 years of age, and during his career served as a priest at Swansea, where he was highly respected. Major-General Sir F. Grenfell, to coriect an instinctive fallacy, goes out to Kgypt next week not to supersede Sir Herbert Kitchener, but to take over the command of the British troops. Sir Herbert Kitchener feels naturally that, having gone so far, and gone so well, he ought to be permitted to play the Soudan game of re- conquest to the end. Wire-pulling and li interest" in Pall-mall are, however, so powerful that he distrusts London, and rightly. But General Grenfell, mo.t chivalrous of gentlemen, is not one of the Sirdar's enemies, which is the rough side of the euphemism for competitors. There has not been very much heard lately in regard to the purchase of the Portsmouth tram- ways by the Corporation, but tha.t does not mean that the matter is sleeping, and it is probable that ere long the Town Council will be asked to con- sider a very important report from the com- mittee. There is every inducement to go ahead with the project and push it forward, for the prospects of a handsome profit are very tempting when electrical traction can be introduced. The latest report to hand comes from Plymouth, where the Corporation have for some time past been working a section of the t.amway service, and that by no means the most productive of income, a.s the best paying portion is in the hands i of a private company. Yet the result oil the past year's working is that a profit of £ 1,000 is shown. and a scheme is now b >ing considered for intio- ducing half-penny farjs." says a South of England paper.

THE LATE R. H. HUTTON OF THE SPECTATOR." AN UNPUBLISHED LETTER. REMINISCENCES BY A GOWER GENTLEMAN. (Special to The Cambria.i.) Having about the year 1843 and the following year been resident as a boy with the Rev. Dr. Hutton, of Hamilton-place, London, who took for preparation a limited numbfir of students for the college and junior school, I became intimately acquainted with his family, including' the subject of these remarks, Mr. Richard Holt Hutton, then about 17 years old. When I first knew him, he hl1d but rccently entered the colle;{e. He had two biotUers older than himself, viz., Joseph Henry and John, both of whom resided in the country, al^o two unmarried sisters.

He wore black small clothes and gaiters and well became the type of a dein or archdeacon of the Established Church, j All the family were intimately friendly with monv who became, and are even now. prominent mpn of the day.

14 SOME PIERRE CLAIRE POEMS. FURTHER PRESS CRITICISMS. The demand for the above continues, and it will probably be found necessary to issue a second edition. Those who wi-h a copy of the first would do well to order at once. In the course of a very kindly reference to the late Mr. Gamwell and his works, the Daily Post says — Nlr. James Brown, the editor of The Cambrian, has been moved to collect and repro- duce in book-form, under the title cf "Some Pierre Claire' Poems. part of Mr. Gamwell's poetical work. To him it has obviously been a labour of love. The self-appointed task has been performed with care and good ta;te, ani the arrangement leaves nothing to be desired. The preface breathes the spirit of affection and loyalty which the journalist d^ad and gone was happy to be able to inspire, and the production, from the standpoint of both editor and printer. is creditable. For those contemporary with Mr. Gamwell before the saddest and most cruel of all afflictions overtook him, the p^ems must possess a special value, and the whole community will doubtless appreciate the motives which prompted their republication."
PARISH CHURCH CHANCEL.
PARISH CHURCH CHANCEL. INTERESTING LETTER FROM COL. MORGAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE CAMBRIAN." SIR,-X ow that the plaster has been taken off the interior walls of the old chancel of St. Mary's, many remains have been disclosed, which exceed in interest any anticipation of the mo-t sanguine antiquary, who foresaw, when that was done, that the chancel would reappear in its pristine proportions straight from the hand of its great architect. On the north side of the chancel, and illi- mediately adj uning the east wall, are the re- mains of a large credence table, which has been ribbed of its dressed stones, but the relieving arch and the recessed table remain. The east window is probably intact as built, and is a fair specimen of geometrical decorated style, though, perhaps, as a work of such a great architect as Bishop Gower, it is disappointing. There are remains of an ambrey on its southern side, but robbed of all dressed stone. From the east wall Mr. Glascodiiie picked out a considerable piece of glazed tiling- built into it: 1 no doubt part of the flooring of an earlier church than Cower s. On the south wil I, only one foot from the east end, were found the remains of a. three-light window, of which the whole of the east jamb, the sill and part of the west jam'), ¡Lull about two feet of the mullions are still intact. Further west is a deep recess lined with stone work to the height of two feet, evidently the remains of sedilia se..ts; both the window and the sedil a recess have been walled up for the insertion of the decorated wiudjw now existing which apparently (at some uncertain date) was removed from the former po-ition lower, and nearer the east wall, the tracery of the heal is fairly original, but the mullions are not only longer, but entirely of a later period, and in some place-i are little more than rubble cemented over. This window appears to b J an exact, replica uf a choir window at Mertori Ct),Iege, Oxford. (See Bloxham's Architecture). At what date it was removed to its new position is uncertain, but from tne mutilated appearance of the tracery, it had ev.dently existed many years bciol'w and yet it must have been done in an age when" they couiu ^opreciate the value of older work and preserved it. j The sediiia recess has al-o a hlstoi -No uouut it is part of the oiignal structure, and was plastered throughout then tne eastern portion was cut off too by the insertion of a pier to s-upport the j-unb of the window. This was also pla-tered on the inside, showing it was still used tor sedilia seats. Finally it was blocked up with rough masonry and pla-tered over p: obabh in the la;t century. Further west is a smaller* recess. doubtle-s a tjmb, but all the dressed stone has disappeared, lhiie are remains of deep red patches which can only be the result of paintiii"- it was wailed up at the same date as tiie other recess. I urtlier west again was found a small doorway leading to the tower. The dre,sed jambs and part of tne a:ch are intact. The remainder Df the arch was destroyed by an insertion of a monument early in the centuiy. The doorway appears to be of the same date as the church. Stiil further west is the beautiful two-light window of Bishop Gower, which of late years opened only into tile vC6try-a window built i.i the purest style of English architecture by 0:1e of its most famous expositors, and is alike worthy of both. In the north wall, ssine distance from the credence table, is a small doorway partially blocked up. It appears to be of'later date than the rest of the Church, and may be 16th century work. It is traditionally called the pne-ts door, and probably was the priests jntrance to the Gluve.'s Chapel. Further west is the recessed tomb, which toinieily contained an eliigy of 15th century work, and which was turned out into the churcii- yard when the lay rector's pew was made. It would appear that the canopy does nut correspond in style with the ag-e of the ettigy. The upper pait seems fairly good, but taking it all round, my own opinion is tiiat it is debased work, and was made for the reception of the 15th century effigy, which was renuved from the recess on the other side. j. When this recess was made they destroyed the lower ]> jrtion of a beautiiully decorated wlIldow. apparently of the same date as the Church. This appears always to have been a b.md window, as there are no signs of it externa. U, and was certainly plastered inside long before being walled up, and u-ed as a flue tor a stove Further west was discovered a doorway. The dres-ed stone work internally had disappeared, but externally it WHS intact and is apparently of the sune date as the Church, but has been only partially opened up Further west is the arch leadinsr to the Herbert Chapel evidently an insertion on the original plan. and at whatever time it was done, a window was de-troyed, ha f of which stiil remains over the eastern pier and which was doubtless similar to the one mentioned before. Further west. are disclosed the stairs leading to the roo iluft, and as :s so often tIe case, tl).)' now terminate some three feet above the present floor level. On the pi < stored walls of thi> staircase so long blocked up can be seen. now that they are opened, tae initials of many old Swansea men and boys whose names have been long since repeated in full on the s'ones in the Churchyard adjoining, as tuey generally vary fr-an 1772 to 1777. The chancel is in process of being pulled down. It will soon be a thing of the past. A few records in antiquarian journals will be all that will remain of what was once the priie of Church people in Swansea, and all memories ot the scenes enacted he e during many centuries disappear and are obliterated for ever. Its best epitaph is, in eastern parlance, It was. —Yours, etc., W. LL. MORGAN, Lt.-Colonel. 22nd September.

SWANSEA THROUGH "CAMBKIAN" SPECTACLES. (BY HISTORIC!S JUNIOR.) [ARTICLE XL.= CALYINISTIC METHODIST "'JUMPERS." EXTRAORDINARY "REVIVAL" SCENES. I am not so superstitious as to believe that something more than a c jincidence led me to turn over, in a week given up to Calvinistic Methodism -they call it Presbyterianism now-in our midst. the pages of The Cambrian containing narratives relating to the Calvinistic Methodist revival that took place between the years 182S and 1833. Let it be understood at the outset that I do not wish to offend the susceptibilities of anyone by using a possibly offensive term. I use the word "jumpers" as a name given to the affeated ones at the time, and as explaining nothing more than the callous and unsympathetic view of a revival which, however remarkable and questionable in its methods, was fiaught with great good in its results. I am concerned only with the little con- troversy that waged round local gatherings where the revival spirit burst into fantastic flames. It was a period when evangelical religion was beginning to make its hold upon the Principality when Welsh preachers, with an eloquence that has never cariied such effect in these educated days, stirred men and women to frenzied despair or delight. Not that the Welsh prea :hers en- couraged, as Huck. in his Theological Dictionary, says, the people to cry out, put themselves in violent agitation, and jump u..til they were quite exhausted. The probability is that preachers and people were alike infatuated, and t)e latter, by sheer weight of numbers, invariably fhouted uown tne former when once the reciprocal fervour was en evidence. The late Dr. Rees told us bow, when David Morris preached on the Day of Judgment, the people ran w.Idiv through the streets of Carmarthen under the impression that the Day had actually arrived how, when Williams of Wern preached, over 50 years ago. to a congregation in a burial grtuud, oil the Resurrection of the Dead, his climax made people imagine that the graves under their feet were delivering up their toll of humanity. It is the same influence that accounts for the remarkable scenes that took place in Swansea. Morriston. Neath, and the neighbourhood, when, in 1828 and 1829, the spirit of revival spread here. The general t. end of the services would be something like this Eloquent sermon interrupted by enthusiastic congregation; preacher clamoured down chapel doors closed and bolted turbulent proceedings carried on until midnight outpour- ing of frenzied people singing and shouting III the early hours of the morning, kc. The replica, you will say. of a public-house brawl 1 The most remarkable scenes were witnessed in Xeath, and a description of them is apt to excite levity. Of course, the revival was put down to religious fanaticism, and it must be said that it savoured very much of that to those who pre- ferred to tread the calm pathways of orthodoxy. The Welsh Calvinistic Me;bodists eschewed orthodoxy, and on Christmas Day, in the vear 1828, a body of men and women entered Neath "singing vociferously as they marched along,, hand in hand, and using divers rather portentous gesticulations in their progress." The party consisted of the revivalists from Llansamlet, who had marched over, in this fashion, to assist at th > opening of a new chapel belonging to the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists. One correspond- ent, Philemon," said he visited the chapel, but the pla?e had become such a Babel that he retreated in haste. He went there again after the regular evening service. "The preachers had withdrawn," he says, leaving their flock in a condition certainly vcy unlike meek and docile sheep who had been feeding in the green pastures of sound do-itriue." The only pastoral similitude the worthy "Philemon" could think of was a herd of ca'tle, stung by hornets, and hingi-ig and bellowing iu their agony. Clusters of men arid women, boys and girls, were leaping about the chapel, shouting, scream- ing, and s ligiug throwing their arms aloft like maniacs, and frequently einoraeing each other. Old men pranced round with a sort of minuet step amongst the excited people, cha-iting por- tions of hjmus in a peculiar recitative. Tne males in the galleries waved their shawls and hats and handkerchiefs to encourage the giddy old gentlemen, and marked minuet time by slapping the panels of the galleries. The whirling, infatuated ma-s converged to the coutre, where a large circle of lights, suspended frum the ceiling, was set a-tAirline;, o that the confusion of darknees was nearly ad fed to the confusion of minds. If this had been, the result may have been serious: as it was the candles i splashed grease-drops all over the place and kept whimsical unison with tiie dancers below them. whilst spectators came in. laughel hysterically, and went out again. This sort of tbing continued until midnight, when it w-ii given up in sheer exhaustion, and people poured out singing and shouting wildly. A corre-p indent, who witnessed the service [and called it "an assemblage of j linpers," describes how all this came about. When the pr-acher's voice reached a certain pitch, the congregation gradually took up a wild yell: the preacher continuing, the groans and gesticula- tions increased until the farce or •• tragi- comic entertainment finished with a hymn. Its effect was even more surprising there reigned "a horrid symphony of loud yelling ac -ompauied by wild movements of hands and feet." Whoever originated this enthusiasm, it did not take long to spread, and the meitings in Swansea, Morriston. and on this Christmas day, •■■•.•■a distinguished by the same "excesses of riot" The was Tlr; people evidently caught wIC from, each other, by the same animal or nervous susceptibil- ity which renders laughter, weeping and yawning infectious. At all ev. nts. t lie spectacle excited lztii,Iiier'Ilitv., anl in some asd religious emotion in others. Now, the local Calvinistic Methidists had for years eonducte i their services-and their Sunday Schools especially—with zeal and perseverance. But tuey now resorted to practices which had never been avowed It" a component part of their religiou- system. The Ijvely and sacred cause of the Christian religion," wrote a correspondent, "is reproached with the wild and uproarious scenes thus strangely mingled witl its celebra- tion." ChwarJ. teg 1" ciied out a few correspondents on the other side, and they quoted Cowper in justification :— What, is fanatic frenzy scorn d so much, And dreaded more than a contagious tou ;h I cn-ant it dang'rous and approve your fear, That fire is catching if 3 L'u draw too near But sage obsetvers oft mistake the flame, And gave true piety that odious name." No doubt some of those who agreed with .ó Orthodox" and "Philemon." felt greatly inclined to reply there was no mistaking the flame of the candles, twirling fantastically in momentary peril of extincLion, and shaking their smoke upwards—the spluttering symbol, it may be, of the human caudles that twirled, in peril equally momentary, of darkness. Cowper, however, was promptly thrown in the face of those who quoted him. and to reconcile the two standpoints of the invalided poet is a difficult matter Fdnatic frenzy—soberly defined, Is the false fire of an o erheated mind It views the truth with a distorted eye, And either warps or lays it useless by Tis narrow, selfish, arrogant, and draws Its sordid nourishment from man's applause And while, at heart, sin unreliuquisli'd lies. Presumes itself chief favourite of the skies' Yet the defence of this conduct was, to say the 1 v tll least, plausible. The most subduing emotions. the wildest demonstrations of alaim, sorrow, or joy, when produced by secular and temporal matters, were continually witnessed without dis.gjst or censure. These were warrantable, and the cause excused them. But there are subjects it is considered vulgar and absurd to be much affected by." was the precnant remark of the correspondent "C." And, after all, it does seem callous and worldly and sheer inhumanity-if the word may be used to express a pietty constant phase of human nature—that, even iu our time, men and women should drop a tear at tlie play-house, or shout frantically at a football match, while they listen with stolid indifference to things of vital* and everlasting consequent. Emotion at the iV-V house is often regarded, as purely human sym- pathy, whilst emotion, expressed in whatever manner m religion is set down at 0"CP fanaticism and unhealthy enthusiasm But does it not seem very much a matter of educa- tion r Vvith education will come the refine- ment, m rune cases out of tr.-n 1 i j- ] i c OI !cn. ot ah our facul- ties, and we look upon religion no longer with the superstitious zeal and enthusia-in of the masses, but with the cool calculation of culture- I h^- Preaching then indulged in was oidy calcu- lated, as the great Griffith Jones said, to convey vague and unperiect views to the minds of the poorer ciasse- utdess combined with catechism and methods of instruction. Withoutthatni- struction, all the religious emotions were swept into a strange, chaotic delignt when 3ree the truth manifested itself, especially in a_ nation more than ordinarily excitable.

It meant that religious fanaticism—until it cooled down—and chapel-brawls (disrespectfully so-called; replaced the drunken carousals, the cursing, the cruel and revengeful fighting in the dark streets, the disobedience to authority, the disrespect of men. Breakers of the Sabbath, scoffers at re- ligion, and street brawlers became sober, in- dustrious men, so that the public-house keeper complained that he did not sell enough beer to pay his expenses, since this revival of fantastic methods and beneficial results. The word" jumpers," then, is not one to be ashamed of. Rather than prompt a blush of shame it should recall, with pride, incidents that left a lasting impression for good wherever they occurred.
