NODIADAU CYMREIG. Gan "MORIEN," (PARHAD). Fel y dywedwyd yr wythno3 ddiweddaf, swniodd y drwms, a gwyddid mai arwydd oedd hyny fod y brenin Mtesa yn eistedd ar ei orsedd, "Yr oeddwn," medd Mr. Stanley, II er Ebrill 5ed wedi cael deg o ymweliadau a Mtesa, ao wedi deoh- reu son wrtho am Gristionogaeth. Brysiais yn awr i'w neuadd orseddog i eistedd i lawr. Yr oeddwn wedi peuderfynu, os byddai modd, i'w wneyd yn Gristion, ac yr oeddwn yn ymaflyd yn mhob digwyddiad a fedrwn i'w gyfeirio i'r cyfeiriad hwnw. Nid oeddwn wedi son wrtho am bynciau duwinyddol, ond ynunig cyfeirio ei feddwl at ostyngeiddrwydd Mab Duw, ac efe yn gyfoethog yn dyfod yn dlawd er mwyn dynoliaeth yn gyffredinol, duon a gwynion. Ac iddo, pan mewn cyffelyb- iaeth dyn peohadurus, gael ymaflyd ynof a cliael ei groeshoelio gan ddynion drwg. AJ, er hyny, pan oedd yn dioddef ar y groea, iddo ofyo i'w Dad i faddeu iddynt. Dangosais iddo y gwahaniaeth rhwng yr wn y mae y dynion gwyn yn ei addoli a'r hwn a addolir gan y Mahometaniaid Arabaidd. Dysgodd yr Arglwydd fee u, meddwn, i nigaru bawb ein gilydd; ond dysgodd Mahomed ei fod yn rhinweddol lladd y pagan a'r hwn ni chred yn Mahomed. A gadewais i Mtesa a'i benaethiaid i benderfynu pa un o'r ddau oedd y cymmeriad rhagoraf. Adroddais wrthynt hanes crefydd o Adda i lawr hyd Mahomed, a decbreuais gyfieithu y J)eg Gorchymyn, a ohyfieithodd Idi, ysgrifenydd y brenhin, hwy i'r Kigandaeg. Es at y gwaith gyda brwd- frydedd, a dywedid hyny maes o law wrth Mtesa a'i brif weinidogion, ac yr oeddynt yn ymddangos wedi eu llenwi a ohywreinrwydd i wybod rhagor, fel mai ychydig o ddim arall a wneid. Daeth y Senedd i fod yn le i ymdrin a'r ddeddf foesol a chrefydd. Cyn i'r oyfarfod a Mtesa ynddo ar ei orsedd ddyfod i ben, hysbysodd Mtesa y oawswn gyfarfod a. dyn gwyn fel fy hunan y diwrnod canlynol. Y mae, ebe Mtesa, yn dyfod o Cairo oddiwrth Gordon. Da iawn ebwn, bydd yn dda genyf ei gyfarfod. Ao os ydyw mewn gwirionedd yn ddyn g\vyn, dichon yr aroaaf gyda ohwi dri neu bedwar diwmod yn rhagor. Daeth y dyn gwyn fel ei gelwid, ganol dydd dranoeth gyda llawer o nrysg a mawredd a chwythu mewn udgyrn, swn pa rai a glywid dros yr holl ddinas. An- fonodd Mtesa negesydd i'm oyrchu i'r Senedd- dy. Es i'r lie drwy fynedfa ddirgelaidd. Yr oedd Mtesa a'i holl fawrion yno yn barod. Yr oedd Mtesa yn gynhyrfiol yr olwg arno a'i lygaid ef ao hefyd eiddo ei fawrion yn danllyd eu gwedd. Pa beth a wnaf, gofyn odd Mtesa, i'w roeaawu ? Atebais, gosodwch eioh milwyr yn ddwy reng bob ochr i'r heol yn arwain tua'r fynedfa, a phan ddaw gwnewch i'r milwyr fldyrohafu eu drylliau. Rhagorol! ebe Mtesa. Yma bloaddiodd y brenin, I Gwna frye Tori, tithan, Chambarango, ac hefyd Sakebolo, gwnewoh frys I Ffurfiwch y milwyr yn rhengm un bob oohr i'r heol.' Yna trodd ataf, a gofynodd, A gawn ni danio y drylliau, Stamlee ?' Na,' ebwn yn d1, Ties eioh bod ohwi yn ysgwyd llaw ag ef, a-ohan ei fod yn filwr bydded i'r gwarohodlu danio dros ben pawb. Yr oedd gwedd gyn- hyrfiol Mtesa yn gwneyd i mi feddwl fod peth fcebyg wedi digwydd cyn i mi fy hunan lanio yno, a bod Tori, y I J acL- of all trade,' vno, wedi cael ei holi yn fanwl am y dull priodol i'm derbyn. # 44 Am ddau o'r gloch yr oedd yr wybr yn ddidartb," medd y dyn gwyn diweddaf yn ei adroddiad o'r hyn a gymeiodd le ar ei dderbyniad. "Daeth cenad oddiwrth Mtesa yn dywedyd fod y breuin yn barod i'm derbyn. Yr oedd fy Arabiaid o'r Soudan yn edrych yn brydferth yn eu cotiau cochion au Hodr- au gwynion. Gosoaais fy hun on blaen, seiniodd yr udgyrn, a rhuai y drums pan ger- ddem ar hyd dramwyfa yn agos i ganllath o led ac yn arwain tuag at balasdy Mtesa. Pan es i'r buarth bu mwstwr dychrynllyd. Yr oedd mil o offerynau yn seinio, a phob un yn wahanol ei sain i'r lleill! Cododd gwar- chodlu Mtesa eu drylliau. Pan ddes i'w golwg yr oedd Mtesa yn sefy 11 ar drothwy y fyneda. Bowiais iddo. Estynodd allan ei law; ymaflais ynddi gan ei gwasgu. Yn union oanfyddais ddyn gwyn, wedi llosgi ei groen yn yr haul, yn sefvll ar asvry law Mtesa. Meddyliais mai Cameron ydoedd. Edrych- asom ar y naill^a'r llall, heb yngan gair wrth ein gilydd. Aeth Mtesa i'r neuadd nesaf a ni yn ei ganlyn ef. Yr oedd y lie tua 60 troadfedd o hyd a 15 o led. I lawr drwy y oanol yr oedd dwy reng o byat yn dal i fyny y nen, gan fel hyn ranu yr ystafell yn ddwy fvnedfa. Y tuhwnt i'r lie hwn y mae yr orseddfa. Eisteddodd Mtesa ar ei orsedd. Cadair ydoedd hi. Gorphwysai ei draed ar glystog; &0 yr oedd y cwbl yn gorwedd ar croen llewpart, ac o dan hwnw y mae oarpet. 0 flaen y brenin y mae dant mawr hirfain elephant wedi ei bolisho. Gerllaw y mae dau flvchaid o betbau awynyddiaeth. Un bob ochr i'r orsedd safai dau o filwyr a'a gwaew- ffyn yn eu dwylaw. Ar y llawr ger traed Mtesa y mae ei brif weinidog a'i ddau reporter. Y mae Mtesa yn edrych yn urdd- asol, ac y mae natur wedi rhoddi iddo olwg fawreddog. Y mae ei wisg yn hardd, ac yn gynwyeedig o glogyn gwyn wedi ei ymylo a ohooh hosanau, esgidiau, gwasgod ddur wedi ei haddurno ag aur brodiedig, a phenwisg a. llafn o arian ami. Wrth ei ochr yr oedd cleddyf a'i garn o ifori—rhodd o Zanzibar. Dangosais fy rhoddion, Braidd y oymerodd Mtesa arno ei fod yn eu gweled; urddas yn gomedd iddo ddangos cywrein- rwydd. Edrychais ar y dyn gwyn a eisteddai ar law aawy y brenin, a gofynaiø, l A wyf yn oael yr anrhydedd o siarad a. Mr. Cameron F' Na/ ebe y dyn gwyn, 1 fy enw i yw Mr. Stanley.' Myfi: Fy enw i yw M. Linant, aelod o ymgyrchfa Gordon-Pasha.' Ym- grymasom yn ostyngedig y naill i'r llall. Yr oedd cyfarfod a Mr. Stanley yn y lie hwn yn peri syndod aruthrol i mi. Nid oeddwn yn breuddwydio am dano, ao ynmethu dirnad amean ei daitb. YmAdawais â'r brenin, yr hwn oedd wedi bod yn difyru ei hun trwy wneyd iddynt gadgyrohu a seinio yn eu hydgyrn. Ysgydwais law a. Mr. Stanley, gan ei wahodd i giniaw. Nid oeddwn wedi bod yn fy mhabell fwy na phum' mynyd pan ddaeth Mr. Stanley i mewn ar fy ol." Yna a y dyn oddiwrth Gordon Pasha i adrodd am yr ymweliad personol uchod. Yn nesaf gwna Mr. Stanley adrodd. "Nid oeddwn-i-ond gwesiywr fy hun yn mhalas Mtesa; felly ni wnaethum i ond bowio fy bun pan ddaeth y Ffrengwr o flaen Mtesa, Yr oedd yn hyfrydwch i mi ei gyfarfod, ao yn fwy felly pan gefais allan ei fod yn ddyn dymunol i'r eithaf. Yr oedd yn ymddwyn at y dynion o dano fel cadben milwrol, ac yn eu rhaoleiddio yn oil y dull milwrol. Yr oeddwn inau yn eu trafod fel cyd-deithyddion. Clywais bethau anny- munol yn cael ei sisial am dano gan ei ddynion. Gosododd wylwyr wrth byrth y fynedfa at ei lety i rwystro pawb ond cenadon Mtesa i ddyfod yn agos iddo. Ar y llaw arall, yr oedd y brodorion yn llenwi y lie oddeutufy nby i, oherwydd yr oedd yn hoff genyf dynu y brodorion i ymddyddan a nvi. Yr oedd yo amlwg fy mod oherwydd hyn wedi gwneyd fy hun yn ffafryn gyda'r werin. Cesglais drwy I yr ymddyddan ddigon o ddefnyddiau i lenwi dwy gyfrol. M. Linant a minau a dreuliasom lawer o oriau dyddorol yn nghymdeithas ein gilydd. Am ei fod wedi cychwyn o Cairo cyn i mi gychwyno o Zanzibar, nid oedd yn feddianol ar un newydd Ewropiaidd diweddaraoh nad oedd genyf fi yn barod, eto yr oedd ei gymdeithas yn peri i mi deimlo fy mod yn mwynhau bywyd gwareiddiol. Yr oedd ei fwyd o ddull Ffrainc. Yr oedd kidney beans, ac olive oil, potiau o gig wedi ei sylweddoli; pates de foie gras; sausages, Bologna; sar- dines, biscuits, Maresilles; siwgwr gwyn, coffee, cocoa, a the. Nid oedd y brawd wedi meddwl am fanna yn yr anial; ond fel i dyn call, yr oedd wedi myned a digon o 'gig' gydag ef o'r Aipht. Yn ychwanegol rhoddodd Mtesa laeth, cig eidion, a chig mynod, ffrwythau, wyau, pytatws, tomatoes, blawd, &c., iddo. Yr oeddym yn mwynhau iechyd rhagoroJ, ac yn medru gwneyd cyfiawnder a'r bwyd a osodid ger ein brom. Rhyfeddai Mtesa ein bod yn gwybod yr un hanesion, er fod un wedi dyfod o ogleddbarth y byd a'r Ila][ o'r de-ddwyrain; ie, ein bod hefyd yn siarad yr un iaith ac yn defnyddio yr un geiriau. Siaradem am yr un grafydd ger bron Mtesa. Yn ffodus, Protestant o Ffrainc oedd M. Linant. (rw barhau.)
LITERARY LEAVES. '

LITERARY LEAVES. A second edition of Mr. J. M. Barrie's highly praised novel" The Little Minister" has already been called for. Copies will be ready this week. The English edition of Bonvalot's Travels in Thibet" is in a forward stnte of preparation, and will be shortly published by Messrs. Caasell and Co. in two volumes, under the title of "Across Tkibet." Judy Almanac for 1892 (3d.) is, as over, bright and refreshing. It should be taken after a dose of "Zadkiel" or Old Moore." The illustrations are admirable. A complete one-volume story/entitled Wyhola: The Rose of Corve Dale," by Evelyn Everett Green, author of "Dorothy's Vocation," &c., is the piece de resistance in the Qutver annua), 11 Christmas Arrows," to which the Kev. P. B. Power and the Dean of Ripon also furnish seasonable papers. The Boy's and Girl's Companion (one penny monthly) can be highly commended to the notice of those in search of good and wholesome reading for the young. It is cheap, but never trashy. The programme for the new volume now about to commence is full of promise. MESSRS. CASSELL and Co. have issued the first monthly part (3d.) of "The History of Don Quixote," illustrated by Gustave Dor6. In effect the issue is an edition de luxe, and at three-pence a month is a marvel of cheapness. The Princess (Id. weekly) is making headway rapidly, and bids fair to create a position for itself in the ranks of journals devoted to the interests of the fair sex. It is well edited, well printed, and well illustrated. So popular have become the Princess competitions that fully three pages are weekly devoted to them. The Leisure Hcur (6d. monthly) is content to go on its way rejoicing without the inevitable Christ- mas number. The December issue contains many good things. Amongst them are illustrated articles on "The Land of the Corsairs," "The Goodwin Sands," and "The Horse World of London." "Second Thoughts: A Medley of Opinion and Criticism is a decidedly interesting feature. L. T. Mtado has written a new serial story entitled. Out of Fashion," which win be com- menced in the December part of Cassell's Family Magazine, forming the first part of a new volume. The same number will contain the first instal- ments of two other serial stories, entitled Y ou'Jl Love Me Yet," by Frances Has well, and Had He Known," a story of the New Zealand gold thirst. The author of How to Be Happy Though Married will furnish a paper In Praise of the Early Worm"; A Trip to Jupiter's Moonlet is the subject of another illustrated contribution and Mr. J. F. Sullivan provides drawings for n complete story, entitled "The Woes of Mrs. Caractacus Brown." The Lady specially recognises Christmas in tho issue of a double number (6d.), which is rGpleto with matter of manifold interest to all Indies. The contents include two long complete stories, one for the young and one for children of older growth and innumerable articles on seasonable drasa and fashion cookery and decoration, together with two pieces of music. The article?, whether illus- trative of stories, articles, or fashions, are of the highest order. The Christmas number of \He&rtk and Home is more tlianworth the modest sixpence at which it is priced, if only for tho really admirable coloured supplement, "Off They Go," illustrative of a toboggan slid?, by Davidson Knowles, The pro- duction of the periodical itself is, too, worthy of tbe highest praise, botb as regards letterpress and illustrations. The contents include a complete story, entitled, The Glory of Woman," by the latest success in the world of fiction-Mr. Barry Pain a fairy play by Mrs. Oscar Bjringer; two fairy tales for children Christmas cheer hy Mrs. Beeton-that great authority upon the culinary art—and Christmas fashiong and novelties, with coloured supplement; The Girl's Own Paper (6d. monthly) and the special Christmas number (6d.), to which the title e' of Love Light has been given, appear simul- taneously. To the ordinary issue there is a charming coloured frontispiece, Golden Sum- mer," from a painting by the late Kate Greenaway. Tlve Ven. Archdeacon Wilson offers some Plain Words to Schoolgirls." Miss Helen Zimmern has an article, How French Girls are Em- ployed," and there are other articles on floral decoration specially apropos to the season, out- door games, and complete and continued stories. "LoveLight" is complete in itself, the contents having more or less special reference to Christmas- tide. There are articles on Christ mas cookery and presents; a musical allegory, "Old Daddy Cliristwas"; Christmas poems, and complete stories.

PORTRAIT GALLERY. By "CLUB BITE," THE DIVORCE COURT. A considerable amount of interest attaches in aristocratic circles to the Russell matrimo- nial suit, which is down for hearing in the Law Courts this week. The Countess Russell, is the petitioner, praying for a judicial separation from Earl Russell on the ground of alleged cruelty, whioh he, in his answer, I THE COUNTESS RUSSELL. denies. Earl Russell, who is but 26 years of age, is the grandson of the great Karl Russell, whom he succeeded in 1878. There is no issue by the marriage, the heir presumptive being the brother of the present earl, the Hon. n. A. W. Russell.

A BELOVEITAMBASSADOR. Despite the faot that the proud privilege of proclaiming Victoria Empress of India devolved upon the late Lord Lytton during his Viceroyalty, it would be far from the fact to say that during his tenure of offioe in our Eastern Empire he was a brilliant success, Owen Meredith" could never break his bizarre habits (into the stiff formalities and caste of Anglo-Indian routine. In a man he was a quioker discoverer of brains than rank, and in a woman personal oharms and culture were invariably more rapidly recognised than social status. Thus, into the starch and buck- ram of Viceregal life the late earl endeavoured to import a certain poetic licence and literary bohemianism which came very nearly causing a scandal during Lord Lytton's reign. LORD LYTTON. I As ambassador at Paris, however, Lord Lytton was weloomed with general acclama- tion, He oame to the volatile French in curious contrast to his predecessor, the heavy, decorous Lord Lyons, who was always likened by the Parisians to the extraeum carms of John Bull. II Owen Meredith was a Parisian to his finger-tips, To the last he was ready to write a French sonnet upon a fan, or in an album, for was he not something more than a diplomatist, and as a writer of verse excelled by few in polished and tuneful rhythm ? As the head of the English Embassy he was emphatically the right man in the right place. In devoted attention to the sterner and more tedious duties of his offioe he fell short of none of his predecessors; in the graceful discharge of its more ornamental functions he excelled almost all of them. Vivacious, brilliant, way- ward, exceedingly and elaborately oourteous, and almost theatrioally chivalrous in his de- meanour to ladies, no wonder that Lord Lytton became the idol of Paria during his life, and will long live in its cherished recol- leotion after death.

LORD LYTTON'S SUCCESSOR. Rumour, with its many tongues, is already busy speculating as to Lord Lytton's suc- cessor. Paris is held in the diplomatio service to be the blue ribbon of Embassies, so that we may be sure that Lord Salisbury will not be without hourly reminders that the post is vacant, and that your humble and obedient servant 11 is not altogether without qualifica- tions for such an exhalted position. At one time it was whispered that Lord Dufferin would be recalled from Rome and ordered to present his credentials to the Presi- dent of the Frenoh Republic. Then Sir Philip SIB EDWARD MALET. Currie came into the running; and, lastly, Sir Edward Malet was heralded as the certain winner. Lord Dufferin, it is understood, does not desire to remain an Ambassador after next year, when he will have qualified him- self ft* » pewioo, Berlin beipg nowadays the most important Ambassadorship next to Paris, and perhaps its equal in diplomatic significance, if not in largeness of the yearly screw," all eyes are turned to the capital of the Kaiser to witness Sir Edward Malet's return and his speedy installation in the late Lord Lytton's post. Sir Edward, who has repre- sented Great Britain in Berlin for a little over seven years, is held to be one of the most experienced and tactful diplomatists in the | English service.

Who, in these days of cheap and entertaining literature, has not beguiled a dull hour away by reading with interest the truly remarkable Btory of Sinbad the Sailor, from that wonderful collec- tion of Oriental romances, the Arabian Nights and who but the most bard-hearted has not sympathised with the adventurous Sinbad in the many difficulties be had to contend with in his voyages, and more especially in the trouble that fell upon him when, in a moment of generosity, he took upon his shoulders the troublesome Old Man of the Sea. All attempts to get rid of his unwelcome companion were futile until the discovery of a peculiar kind of fruit put in the hands of the wearied Sinbad, a weapon by which he was able to free himself from the clutches of his tormentor, and once more regain his liberty. What the Old Man of the Sea was to the unfortunate Sinbad, so is Sciatica, Rheumatism, or Lumbago to thousands of suffering people ab the present day. Try how they will, they cannot shake off their troubles and yet within their reach is a remedy which has brought relief and happiness Co thousands of similar sufferers, who are now enjoying the benefits of good health. Sequah's "Prairie Flower," when taken internally, in conjunction with the outward use of Sequah's Oil, always produces satisfactory results. Sold everywhere. Price 2s. per bottle.

CADBUKT'B COCOA.-—" A Cocoa possessing valu- abl e fl.8Sh-formiOg_qu :¡.lities, and iIDPJI'tiag treJ}gt.h aud able flesh-forming qualities, and imparting strength ana staling pov;er,JlwtlJ, Leg Stories for the New Yeaiv THE "WEEKLY MAIL" PROGRAMME. THRILLING NEW TALE, ENTITLED TEMPLES TOWE," A Story of the Days of Dick TLirpini WILL BE COMMENCED IN THE WEEKLY MAIL FOR JANUARY 2ND, 1892. Tales of the desperate doings of highway- men have always had a great attraction for English readers. Very many of them, however. had jar better have been left unprinted, so mis- chievous has been their teaching, and so muck harm have they consequently done, especially e. the young The author of "Templestowe" has, on the contrary, portrayed the adventuroua career of Dick Turpin in a way that, though the interest of the reader will be awakened in the very first chapter and fully maintained unto the last, not even the most hair brained of youtlis will feel the least desire to step into the outlaw'e jack-boots, don his crape visor, and; mounted upon "bonnie Black Bess," cry "Stand and deliver!" to travellers upon the Queen's highway, for the narrative will dis- close how at least two-thirds of the spoil obtained by such gentry went into the pocket8 of Jew fences, who charged 300 per cent. for bartering stolen jewellery which the highway- men could not otherwise turn into money, and who were generally ready to betray their customers into the bargain when they fancied that it would pay them better to do so, whilst professional tluof-taJrers of tfaeJoaaUno Wilda class always knew where to by their hands, upon them, and only allowed them to remain free in order that the rewards offered for their arrest should grow and grow with every fresh crime they committed, and so make them cach succeeding week better worth the catching. The new story will place before the reader continuous stirring scenes such as were the ordinary incidents of men's daily lives si century and a half ago. The perils of the road and of the wayside inn, with the despe- rate deeds of highwaymen and of footpadfj will be depicted in a strikingly realistic man- ner, such as cannot fail to enchain the atten-, tion, for we who live in the era of the express train and of that greatest of thief-catchem, the electric telegraph, can hardly realise the dangers and adventures which attended upon travelling in those apparently rather than roally far off times. But most attractive elements will be intro- duced into the narrative other than the doings of Dick Turpin and Tom King, and the tragic crime of Eugene Aram, the village school- master and profound scholar, who has been immortalised alike by Balwer Lytton and by Tom Hood; for a thrilling and most romantic mvstery, closely connected vrith famous old historic naarioa and family in the Noith ol England, will form the central incident around wbich most of the exciting events ol the romance will revolve; whilst a pure and lender love story wiil afford a pleasing diver- sity from tbe more tragic and startling inci- dents of the tale. We will only add that a healthy, stimulating, and moral tone will run through the entire not, rative, and that nothing which is base, mean, or cruel will be held up for the admiration of the reader.
