TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1697, NOTES & COMMENTS The Triple Scheme was itiha subject of another heated discussion in tba Council Chambep on Monday; and in it the "Daily Plost" and its editor were acwrded undue prominence. A full report of the proceedings appears in this issue. So much was sakl that more will have to be said; but the aaying Tf it, in consequence of the absence of the editor of the "Post" m Norway, must be postponed. This much, however, may be asserted here fearlessly and defiantly, that when aU things axe written, it will be found that the "Post" has been incorruptible, and that a. straightforward simple statement of the facts will sweep aside all the inuendoei which, chagrin may invent We stand to gain by a dissdctuxi erf the ciTcnmstauoes; and have only the interests of the oomxounHy ts oor juidek

-+- The speech delivered by Mr. Oven Owen, chief inspector of Wekh Intermediate Schools, a.t the last meeting of the Glamorgan Governing Body, contained several remarks which it would be well for all who feei concerned in those inataftations to bear in mind. Mr. Owen laid proper emphaBis Oil the teaching of foreagn. laBgnages and on manual training, two branches of the highest importance to a sea- port town like Swansea, which is also tLe Welsh mBtarfuxgietal capital. In the past. Swansea young men have been outran in the race simply because they had no practical knowledge of French, German, and Spanish, three of the leading languages of Europe; and also because they Jaoked proper technical train-1 ing, soch. learning, for instance, as German youths are given. But the difficulty lay in getting properly equipped teachers, who had a practical knowledge of foreign laaguagws, and had received a thorough manual training them-1 selves. In these present circumstances Inter- mediate School authorities may not be able to provide foreign, teajchers, but they might assist Englishmen, and Welshmen to go abroad ftxr some time, to acquire that knowledge which they cannot find at hoioe. This was Mr. Owen's advice, and it is perfectly sound and eminently practical, and lot us nope that Swansea may profit by it.

A oanskteraJble crop of bathing fatalities has oocnrradi during the last couple of Jays, which accentuate once more the necessity of observing caution, especially in the choice of places for pursuing the most pleasant of summer pastimes. Most of the cases were those of boys, who seem to have fallen a piey to their own rasfrncss and ventttreooxneoiesE^ in going beyond their depth. In a country like ours, where so many opportunities are got to learn swimming, it is astonishing how few, com- paratively speaking, acquire that simple but very useful art. Indeed, we venture to think thai everybody, where cirdumstanoes allow, should be taught swimming as a part of his education- In all our large towns nowadays thero are public baths which are within reach cf the poorest members of the community, and in small towns and villages there generally a. stream or a neighbouring pond at which boys could be taught to, swim.

0 A "Celt" contributor advises his readers to have nothing to do with the word "Noncon- formist," on the ground that it is a negative word. "It does not tell us what we are, but what we are not." Neither does be counsel the usage of the phrase "the Sects," as ap- plied to Nonconformists. The latest he would ask them to adopt is the tide Free Churches."

I Mx. Gee is agsan on the war path. The "calj to aims" in regard to the Government Aid Groat Bill h''s fallen flat, for there is no response. But that does not deter Mr. Gee from making aaotho? rousing eifort. That the danger which caJ!s for such an otiort is very great id evident from the following pointed questions which precede the leading article in last Wednesday's isfiie of the "Bauer": — "C"ha.in.s, or Freedom? Slavish subjection ot Rebellion?" Fortunately, the ordinary Welsh .reader is well accustomed to such militant lan- 1 JI.. IP f guage, and treats it metaphorieally, otherwise I the issue might have been serious. Appar- ently, Nom»>uloriaity is doomed, because the rising generation will have to attend Churcn and Papal schools, and Mr. Gee calls upon his co-religionists to establish "Protestant schools" in every district where there are no I Board schools. "They are essential to the life I of our Protestantism and Nonconformity, and ¡ essential too, for hastening the Disestablish- I ¡ riie.'it. and Disendowment of 'the a.lien' in onr I country." Mr. Gee is quite logical in his de- mand. _n_-+- I

The Tliirteen Hundredth Anniversary nf the baptism of Ethelbert !y Augustine was oamni-Muoraiecl x^ecently. and a special value attaches on that account to the ai tide by the I Bishop of Stepney on "Augnstine and the I Roman Claims'' winch appears in the June number of the "National Church." The Bishop shows that, while we must thank God for the impulse given to the conversion of England by Pope Gregory, Augustine, and I their missionary band, yet as a geographical and historical fact the Italian mission pro- duced comparatively small results outside Kent. The real teaching work was done by the Scotic school, working from lona and I Lindisfarne as centres, and far the greater pan of the English were brought round to j Christ by their means. As for the British Church, which the Eng- lish had driven out to the west, it held its own there through the times of the English conversion, and in Walts it lives still, but it cannot, in his opinion, be credited with work done for the conversion of England. While the hard work was done in detail by the Soots, the work of blending and organising the whole was done by the Greek Theodore. He brought the unwieldy dioceses and the divided counsels into go much order that in his time as many bishoprics were in existence as there were at. the beginning of the reign of Henry VTTT Of the three grea.t benefactors of the English Church, Theodore stands first, and Augustine and fafis school may divide the remaining honours with Aldan and his school. The Bishop goes on to say that the claims of the modem Romans are so peremptory and so strange that it would be scarcely courteous to them to pass thein by in silence. To show the dependence of the English (church on Rome, Pope Leo XIII. some years ago called attention to "the speciaJ worship always paid by the English to tho Prince of the Apostlea I as 'Primary Patron' of their kingdom." Car- dinal Vaughan and the fourteen. Roman bishops in England have advanced proofa of this in the "Tablet." They say that "the second monastery at Canterbury was dedicated to St. Peter himself." History tells that it was in fact dedicated to St. Pa.ul and St. An- drew. The truth is that the more closely the early history is looked into, the more clearly it is seen that the "Church of the English," as Pope Gregory called us—just aa he caJIed his own Church the "Reman Church" and the Gallican Church the "Church of Gaul"—was from the first meant to be a national, Catholic j' Church, independent in its government, its action, and ita development.
1*"-'...... SHARKS IN SWANSEA…
SHARKS IN SWANSEA BAY. A CAUTION TO SNAKES AND BATHERS. This is not merely a fisherman's yarn, but sJso a serious report, brought to the "Daily Poot" office by a local seagoing man on whom w-e can depend. At the end of last week the pilot-boatVivian caught an eight-foot can- ger when fishing near the Mumbles Head, and in accordance with custom the ugly customer was gutted and then slung over the side so that it might be washed. When it was being hauled aboard it was found that a blue-nosed shark, about ten feet in length, had seized the conger, half the length of which was down the aharks's throat, while the teeth of the latter were firmly fixed in the fleshy and grisly- bone of the conger. The fishermen had hauled both some distance out of Lae water when the struggles of the shark enabled it to achieve its object, and it got away with half of the conger m its gullet. The thickness of the conger had no doubt prevented the shark from effectively griping its prey. The fishermen say that the dorsal fins of several sharks have been recently j observed off the Mumbles Head. f A survey haa been made of the Swedish brigantine Magnus, on board of which an explosion occurred last Thursday, when the vessel was just below Lundy Island, and it has been found necessary to discharge part of the cargo. Afterwards another survey will be made.
. THE POOR PIT HORSE.I
THE POOR PIT HORSE. I REVOLTING CASE OF CRUELTY. ABERGWYNFI OWNER SENT TO GAOL. At the Abera.von Police Court? on Monday, Win. Jenkins, the owner, and Gomer Lewis, an employee at the Tre Shenkyn Coal Pit, Abergwynfi, were charged with cruelty to a. horse. William Jones, an inspector of the Royal. Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, deposed of visiting the pit on the 27th of May, where he sa.w Jenkins and Jones, who informed him that they had one horse working underground. On examining the animal he found several large wounds with a large quantity of matter cozing out of them. The animal was ;tJtogether in a frightful state. The collar had worn away, and the marks of its straw stuffing were visible upon the woundw. In answer to a question Jones replied that it had been bad for three weeks or a month, and he had been driving it by day, and it was driven by the owner's sou at night time as well. The horse also worked on Sunday. It was the worst case he had ever seen. lie did not think that the poor creature had had its collar off tor days, as it was simply saturated with matter, and the smell of it was quite overpowering. On being shown the stable ho found that there was no bedding there—nothing but the bare stones for the poor creature to lay on. The Bench, in delivering sentence, com- mented upon the awful cruelty, and sect Jen- kins. the owner, to hard labour for 14 days, but Jonas, being a youngster and a-n employee, was dismissed with a severe caution.

I Dr. Gomer Lewis has another leotaN cullbd from America. It is "Abraham Lin- coln. The esteemed D. D. didn1: go to the ¡ World s Fair for nothing. It is said that by working during the stop week and playing during :118 Jubilee Week Momsrton tinplaters show ir.- z loyally to tiw Queun than to their Union. During this hot weather the captain of the S',8. Oliver drives his engine by the hefli obtained from the rays of the sun focussd by the glaiss-front of the compass. The Rev. E. W. Bolney, of Sketty, seeBSct bent upon making his presence feit on tbø new Cockett school board. He wanted know a few things at Monday's meeting-, The production of "The Fancy Dress Bail". at the Empire reminds one of poor old Davis, who scored so heavily when it was • much less unpretentious item tmder the of "The Masquerade Ball." The oft-repeated query at Morriston yester- day was, "W here are the water-carts?" After a few dozen pedestrians had been, blinded, and a. few dozen school children converted into Aggers, the water-spouter perambulated the town. 'I Where a woman gets twopence-halfpenny j for making a shirt, and a Chinaman gets five- | pence for washing it, we call a one-aided j I place-that is to say, it is Melbourne. A |j Swansea ivan, who has just come from there, -:1 tells this one-sided yarn. The discussion which began in the Swansea Council Chamber on Monday, suggesting the nobbling of the press," and the importation of "palm oil, "is by no means ended. There'll be a trifle more to be said when the editor of the "Post" returns from his holidays. Councillor Spring may not be a Demos- thenes, but to give him his due, he does hiJI best to make the Swansea parks appear as attractive as possible. He may be seen by those who get up so early as seven o'clock ill the morning, in one or other of the open spaces of the town. The night policeman, could unfold many an interesting yarn concerning who and what he sees roaming about the streets in the wee sma' hours of the morning. A gliropS8 of Swansea. at midnight was given at the police-court on Monday, and there were many in Court who were observed to blush. A Swansea lodger suggests a way by which landladies ought to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee. It is that they present no bills for the week and thus give the poor lodgers » chance of recovering a position of that which they have lost by confiscation. It is said that one good lady has already decided upon this course. The proceedings at Monday's committed remind one of the old story of the parrot aod the monkey. The owner of the two, on re- turning home after leaving them loose to- gether was met by the bird, plucked be,re, except a single tail feather, and in the JIlaSt mournful accents it exclaimed, Oh! we baf8 had a —— of a time." This is the wtiadom of a Swansea 1a.d1 moralist. She calls it "lady gardening. -# Make your beds early in the morning; W" buttons oil your husband's shirts: do not rake up any grievances; protect the young and tender branches of your faihiiy; plant » smile of good temper in your *aoe; carefully root out all angry feelings, and expect a good crop of happiness. A Uanelly cricketer who has hitherto recognized as the "demon bowler came o¡; ia all the glory of a full-pledged Jar -3..1&0 in a recent match, and knocked .op the top score of his side. In boasting of hffing he* come set," he remarked I covld see ti* ball as big as a moon after ùfA, -mg for abott' a quarter of an hour." In the next match be was out for a duck," and when asked, 111' said there was more moonshine than BMCO about it then. A funny story is told of a mendicant who lately, by the aid of a second-hand pick aod safety-lamp, posed as a Welsh miner, something or other—probably an inherent dis- like of work—had wafted into South London on a begging expedition. He did a litUg sing" ang to attract intention, and the rained on him freely. After a while he another mendicant and adjourned to a neigh* bouring tavern. "You seem to be on a g- lay," said the second man. "Rather. how do you get along when the people as* you questions?" "Easy enough, I siIDp!1 say, 'Jim Sassenach I'M "Jim Who is he?" "Oh. it ain't a man at all, it simply the Wehh for deaf and dumb." In the ease of one Welshman, at any rat^ a penny whistle has led to fame. When M** Frederic Griffiths was quite a little boy Swansea he played upon a tin whistle so that a friend presented him with a piccolo and he took lessons from a local musician* It was with this instrument that the lad too his first prize at the National Eisteddfod was at Merthyr—and ar, the Cardiff Eisted fod iu 1883, be won the prize for the J:>e81í performance on any orchestral Mr. Joseph Bennett was the adjudicator, anal he urged the flautist to go to the R°J Academy. He went 'there, and then to ^>arT' and on his return to London he caught eye of Mr. August Manns, and now he ran** among the musical celebrities. Bill Banter," who is an old Swansea man, has been gaining experience as a cycliS f and to-day the" Western Mail" treats his troubles thus:—"If pedestrians on road round Pyle will pick up some odd 9' a couple of knee-joints, half a chin, an u1' whole elbow, we would esteem it a favo Ii if they are consigned to ibis oince witn delay. These odds and ends and corners the human frame belong to Bill of the "Evening Express." He was cj"0' down the hill to the west of e dead of the night, and charged a large pto in the middle of the road. When he re-g^11^^ consciousness he collected the remains o machine, and, with the hind wheel iu his i lilvC and the rest slung round his nec»v. u Oddfellow's regali3., he trudged the five to Port Talbot, with only the stars to his plight." the v* icgX That was a. decided slap which toe of of Llaagvfelacli gave to a certain c 3S^ejj. lecturers the <r';h<;r evening.
