--THE POST BAG.
THE POST BAG. ) Madame Patti has received a command to attend at Balmoral during her Majesty's approaching visit to the Highlands. Mr. David Davies, while on his holidays, is t-'Ting to emulate Mr. Gladstone luy sending his coraaiunieations on postcards. "WhaL time was it ?" was asked of a witness at the Neath County Police-court on Friday, i41 don't know," was the reply, for I had my working clothes on.' A very large number of people visited the Mumbles en Thursday, and Mumbles railway oliicials speak of it as far and away the beat Thursday during the present summer. A yeung man went into a chemist's shop at Landore yesterday. "Apenny worth of camphor, did you say ?" Yes. that's what I cam-phor" came the answer, He escaped. Mr. David Williams,of Resolven, frequently says:—" Just one word. At the meeting of the Neath District Council this week, he used several of these words; and they averaged about 720 syllables each. I Fifty years ago the present Duke of Beaufort was known as the Earl of Glamor- gan, his father the Marquess of Worcester, and his grandfather, the then Duke of Beau- fort, being living at the tnae. The following was tho address of a letter delivered to ;Sir. Charles Watson, of the Albion Dry DOCK, Swansea, yesterday :— Hr Steward K. C. Cemmetisen S4ip ■ Amphitrite' Kapta.11 Anderson Lûk Watson, Wales. The first letter we had from the Chief was addressed to the cashier. It did not contain a request for the dispatch of funds, and we are putting the reason down to the tact that he was unable to spend up on board ship. I Horses in the capacity of schoolmaster and pupil keeping school is a neveitv promised to frequenters of the New Theatre next week, as well as battle scenes, an original a four- horse aet," funny mokes, and frisky muies. I Just before the holidays the head-mistress of one of the Swansea Board Schools received the following note from the mother of a pupil:—"Piease do not woiep Mary for I being absent from school yesterday afterncen, as the baby was taken ill and needed her at home to do some Lerrands." Llaneliy furnished some of the sinews" of the Peninsular War. A large number of the cannon balls that carried death and destruc- tion into the French camp were made at the Furnace, a village near the tin-plate town. But the Furnace makes cannon balls no mere- The Rev. W, Prydderch, of Swansea, be- lieves with St. Paul that bodily exercise hatb its use. Preaching at Pyle recently the rev. gentleman delivered a splendid discourse, in which there was as much athletics as theology. One should net be surprised before long to see a football match played between Welsh Calvinistic Methodist preachers. The following lines lo a good wife are said to be inscribed in a cemetery near Swansea Aud in the heavers-lit, path ¡,he trod, Fair was the wile foreshelll IJ, AMary iu the House of God, A Martha in her own." The police officials at High-street head- quarters have in their possession a lovely specimen of the feline tribe which bears round its neck Unionist colours. It is said to have escaped from vague threats used against it in the Greenhili district. Last night a squad of 16reeraiis was beins; drilled by a very impatient sergeant. After 0 about an hour's hard work, the sergeant gave the order, "Stand at ease," and then began to complain, saying, "Why, you fetlowsare like a lot of dummies at a shilling a box." One of the recruits thereupon remarked, "I sup- pose there would be some sergeants among I them." Right turn Dismiss! I Mr. D. Bughes, a native of Llanelly, I occupies a responsible position in Bordeaux a* the secretary to the local tramways' company, We know this because the Chief met him there a few days ago, and tied him to his chariot wheel to act as guide, philosopher, and friend, in which capacities a pest-card assures us Mr. Hughos was a thorough success. I The lirst historic notice of Llanelly as a coal-producing district describes it as Llan- elthy, under date 1724, and that it drove a pretty good trade in coats." Mr Raby was one of tbe famous pioneers of the Llanelly district. He came from the North of England with a quarter of a million of money, and at one time was associated in coal werking with the late Mr Simons, of Merthyr. According to the Cambrian, this is what the friends of the Rev. John Davies, of Cadle. say of bin :—"You always know where you are with the Rev. John. If you met him in a dark and narrow lace he would not wait in ambuah and stab you in the back, as some would do. Oh! no, that would not be Mr, Davies. As soon as he heard you coming he would shout out, 'Now I have you, look to, and then he would jump about shouting and telling you what he was going to do. You can always fight fairly the Rev. John, but you can't fight some who hold up their hands in horror at his noise. Tho massacre of missionaries in China has stirred the wrath of Englishmen, but there is one in Swansea who cannot be serious even when confronted bv lhe recent horritlo occurrences. He recalls a dialogue that ensued between a boy and his mother when it was reported that a missionary had been I' eaten. Will the missionary go to heaven ?" asked the lad. "Oh yes, 1 hope 89," eaid his mother. Will the cannibal go tee ?" No" Well, bowil they manage it ?" was the poser which terminated the conversation. It was amusing on Thursday, after tho Brighton had left for 'Cembe, to see how the young bloods sought the most secluded and unfrequented roads back into town. One elaborately dressed youth who had specially designed hid apparel a la commodore, re- gardless of cost, was creeping stealthily I through a backlane. All ht once, seeing a well-known shipbroker approaching, he endeavoured to assume an air of extreme nonchalance, and in answer to a query put to him by the shipbroker declared that be was not one of the disappointed ones. There is a. man at Morriston who claims that he has never turned a Wegear away from his door without giving him something to eat, or a "copper." One day last wcok. however, he found it impossible to admit an hungry tramp into his household, as he was eutcr- taining some friends; so he sent word to » public-house near at hand to give the "gen- tleman of the road" all he required. Next day he called to settle the bill, which amounted to two shillings, the items beinS nine beerfl and a. cigar. This is not the same tramp as the one who called at the house porch of a philanthropist, who constantly kept a loaf of bread there for tbe hungry 'I' ones, and who after eating his iill lefi a penny on the table with a note "This is to cheese for the next cutler,"
SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1895.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1895. NOTES & COMMENTS Home politics have an entrancing interest for the bulk of the adult popula- tion of the United Kingdom, and accordingly the Premier's statement there- on, to which reference was made in this column yesterday, formed for them the principal feature of his speech on the Address. But, as the Pall Mall Gazette observes, far and away the most important part of his Lordship's contribu- tion to the debate was the serious warning which he gave the Sultan. The Sultan will make a grave and a calamitous mistake, jf. for the sake of maintaining a mere formal independence, hr the sake d lesisting a possible en- croachment on his normal prerogatives, he refuses to accept the assistance and to listen to the advice of the European Powers in extirpating from his dominions an anarchy and a weakness which no treaties and no sympathy will prevent from being fatal in the long run to the Empire over which he rules.' Words like these, coming from a statesman who helped to frame the Berlin Treaty, tan scarcely be disregarded even by Mahomet's representative on earth. If the Turk fails now to recog- nise that England can only remain his ally on condition that no longer shall the Balkan nationalities be firebrands ever threatening to set Europe in a blaze, then the blame for his own dissolution, and the carrying out of the bag and baggage" policy, will be upon his own head. He has had his chance; he has yet a way of escape left; and Lord Salisbury's earnest warning ought to rou^e him to take it or to prepare to be wiped out. The magnificent victory of Sir John Llewelyn was nut won by inactivity and apathy, and it is to be hoped the members of the Unionist party will not go back on the admirable work of organisation and registration carried out by Mr. Harry Morris. Doth householder and lodger should see that they are on the roll. The list3 of persons entitled to vote have been posted up in the customary places for some days past now, and it behoves everyone to search through them, and at once notify to the Unionist headquarters any error or omission. August 20th being the last day for ending in occupiers' and new lodgers' claims to the oversesrs.
