'tf hig $I na SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1891, "^HE^WEEK'S NEWST (lr)oom Thursday, December Si-d, to Tuesday, December 8th, 1891, inclusive.) Thirty-four persons were killed in a railway accident on the North Western Railway of India. India. On Friday the Russell matrimonial suit terminated in a verdict for Earl Russell with costs. In the Court of Appeal on Tuesday the insu- rance company with which Mr. Maybrick, who was poisoned by his wife, insured his life I were ordered to pay the sum insured to the assignees and executors, but the assignees of Mrs. Maybrick oould receive nothing. It is said that Mr. John Redmond (Parnel- lite) will not be opposed for Waterford. The Bishop of Gibraltar has at last deter- mined to consecrate a place of worship in Monte Carlo. It is feared that nearly eighty persons have perished in an explosion of fire-damp at a St. Etienne colliery in France. Charles Fiddler, brickmaker, of Notting- ham, yesterday committed suicide after murdering his wife. A lieutenant in the Royal Naval Reserve at Bombay has just succeeded in making a parachute descent from a height of 11,400ft. A sanguinary affair has just taken place at Cantin between two families of Alsatians who had for some time been on very bad terms. His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence and Avondale is engaged to be married to her Serene Highness Princess Victoria Mary of Teck. The Aberdeen magistrates on Tuesday decided that they could not officially attend the open- ing of a local industrial exhibition by Sir Charles Dilke. The dead body of an old lady has been found in her house in Paris under circum- stances which show that she was burned to death. There has been a recurrence of the terrible earthquakes in Japan, and it is reported that nearly 400,000 additional people have been rendered homeless. Earl Russell is threatened with an action, in which damages are laid at £ 10,000, unless he retracts the allegations made against Miss Williams in the recent matrimonial suit. The llotne Secretary has commuted the death sentence passed at Durham Assizes upon William Wood for the murder of his paramour. The bank of Messrs. Bantrie, Dawnay, and Curzon, of Colchester, suspended payment on Tuesday, but the firm olaim to be able to pay all liabilities in full. Sir Arthur Cowell Stepuey, the member for the Carmarthen Boroughs, has written to the executive of the Llanelly Liberal Club announcing his adherence to the Liberal Unionists. A great sensation has been oaused in Paris by the murder of the aged Baroness Dellard in broad daylight in a house in a frequented street of Paris. Twelve boats were being towed down the Hudson on Friday night when they were struck by a squall and sank, and twenty out of the 50 men on board were drowned. A coms^mication has been issued from the office of the general manager of the Great Western Jiailway to the effect that from January 1 next all uniform servants in the employ of the company will be paid for Sun- day work in addition to their ordinary labour the other days of the week. Revelations have, it is said, just been made to the authorities at Boulogne, according to which Mr. M, 'Neill, the English journalist who met with his death while on a visit to France, was treacherously murdered. The accused persons will probably be arrested immediately.
IT RE-CALLS THE BLIZZARD.

IT RE-CALLS THE BLIZZARD. In March, 1888, the great bl zz ird in America almost extinguished the city of New York. The like of it was never before seen. The snow com- pletely stopped all lo.-al traffic. Not. a liordo or a wheel could move. All the telegraph lines leading into the city were prostrated, and f r two or three days the people of B )st oii and New Yoik com- municated with each other by way of London by means of the Atlantic Cibles. Thus tnessagts intended for persons three hundred miles distant were sent six thousand miles, crossing the ocean twice. An incident which re-calls this experience to the writer's mind happened a short time ago here in England. Suppose we let the gentleman in- terested tell his own story. He says" I have suffered more or less from indigestion and dysp-psia all my life. I had a bad taste in the mouth, pain after eating, a poor appetite, and sour stomach. My tongue was coated, and my mouth constantly filled with a watery fluid. No matter what I ate, however light, it disagreed with me and gave me pain. I bad fulness of the cheat and pain at my side, with a miserable, low, dull feeling. From time to time I consulted a doctor, who gavo me medicines, but they did very little good. The doctor said that the coating of my stomach was disordered and the mucous membrane was inflamed. In 1877 I received a pamphlet from New York tolling of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and of the extraordinary cures it had effected so I procured a supply, and after taking the first I felt better, and by the time I had taken four bottles more I was completely cured, and have been in good health, as regards the indigestion, ever since. Having studied the practice of herbs for many years, I was in the habit of treating people for erysipelas and other complaints, and was fre- quently consulted by people in the district. So, after my remarkable cure, I was so impressed with the merits of Seigel's Syrup that I procured a large supply of the medicinp, and recommended it to all who were suffering, and people came from far and near for it. I may mention that on a Sunday my house was besieged by miners from Coal Pit Heath and others from a distance. On every hand I heard nothing but the loudest praise and of the cures it effected, and the fame of this medicine was spread throughout tha West of England with no other advertising than one party tollinganotlier of tue benefit they had derived from this wonderful medicine. I wish everyone to know of thi", and if by publishing this state- ment it will help others who may be suffering as I was it will afford me pleasure." • The letter from which the foregoing is an ex- tract is signed Moses Godwin, Old Sodbury (Sod- bury), Glos, aud is dated April 9th, 1891. He is a farmer. The reader will notice that while the head- quarters for the sale of Mother Seigel's Syrup is universally known to bo in London, by a strange chance Mr. Godwin's first information concerning it came from America, three thousand miles away, which re-calls the incident of the American blizzard above narrated, and also shows that the fame and usefulness of this medicine extends to all civilised countries. Mr. Benjamin Edgerton, grocer and provision dealer, Plat Lane, Whixalf, Whitchurch, Salop, says: While living with Mr. Roberts, Fens Wood Farm, I first began to feel a dull heavy weight at my side, and noticed a bad taste in the mouth, with foul stomach and uncomfortable feeling after eat- ing. I had no appetite, and when I sat down to the table I could not touch the food. I had a good deal of pain and noise in the head, and could not sleep for it. I was not fit for heavy work, and could only do light jobs about the fnrm. After cutting a hedge I would go quite faint, and had to ait down, and felt so much depressed I could hnve cried. Having always been such a strong man, I tcok it bidly to be reduced to such a weak state. I took all kinds of physic and saw a doctor, but his medicine only eased me for a bit, and then I was worse than before. I went on in this way for over a year, when a servant that came to live at Mr. Robeits told me of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Syrup. She had heard a gentleman talking about it in the railway carriage,' and he praised it so much that I thoaght I would try it. After I had taken two bottles my food did me good, and I gained strength, and by persevering with the syrup I soon got as strong as ever, and have never ailed anything since." Lc501

OUR LAWYER. Conducted by a Barrister-at-Law. Legal questions must be stated fully and clearly, and a full co/ry must be sent of an,11 document on which advice is sought. All communications must be endorsed "LKGAL," per Editor, WEEKLY MAIL," Cardiff. "NllOJ SgtR (T,,tfYrs Well).-Evei-y attempt made to get the Post Office authorities to accept the popular interpretation of a compound word like" bJack- taggers has hitherto failed, and we do not think you will be successful if you attempt to get the matter altered. Further, we imagine that the Post Office people could make out a strung case in favour of black- taggers being rejiar led as t" 0 words, taggers being the article and black the adjective qualifying it. SEDUCTION.—"M.E." (Merthyr) may bring an action to recover damages for the seduction of her daughter. The action would have to be brought in the High Court, and could not ba managed without the aid o! a solicitor. She had belter call upon some solicitor and try what is the best arrangement she can tnake with him as to costs. We never give estimates of costs. OLAUI FOR WAGKS.J, W." (Cardiff) can only get four months' wages in full. As to the remainder ue will have to take a divide lid like the otlter creditur. DEBTOR AND ORElJl1'OR. Sufferer" is advised that although it is unusual to threaten all action, r to sue, before the delivery of a bill, there is nothing ilU gal in so doing nor is there any Ifgil objection to a creditor dunning his debtor in the street. We advise him to sue the man who g..t his new overcoat aad lelt an old one in the place ot I1. SBTTLKMENT ON WIFE. Chalcrlal" (Roath) is advised that if he gives his money and furniture to his wife and is made bankrupt within two years after she will have to give up both money and furniture for the benefit of his creditors. If he should become bankrupt after two, but within ten, years after such gift, it will be set aside for the benefit, of his creditors, unless his wife succeeds in proving that at the date of the gift he was perfectly solvent, without taking such money and furniture into account. PURCHASK OF Houitt.—"VV. R. M." (Cardiff) has pur- chased a h use, and is dissatisfied with it because the kitchen chimney is an incurable smoker. He cannot compel the person from whom he bought the house to take it back again on that account, nor can he compel him to make any alteration to the chimney. In attempting to remedy the evil the vetlllor has done more than he could legally have been compelled to do. ERROR IN SUM-mo,s. Greek Meets Greek" (B-tirv) is advised that the judge would not permit the defendant to evade payment of what is due just because the county-court clerk has, in error, sent out the sum- mons hs for goods sold and delivered, instead of for lent. Oil the judge's attention being drawn to the error he would simply order the summons to be amended by striking out the words goods sold and delivered," and insertiug "rent." The defeudant would gain nothing bv taking such an objection. INTESTACY.—"Tyro" (Cowbriuge) is advised that the widow is the only person who is entitled to take out letters of idEiiifiistratiori and it is absolutely neces- sary llmt she should do so. the is entitled to one- third of the net personal estate for her own absolute use and benefit. The children are enl itled to have the remaining two-tlurds divided equally among them. The widow will be entitled to expend the shares of the children in and about their maintenance, education, and advancement ill life. NOTICE 10 QUIT. W. B. G." (Pontypridd) is advised that, a notice to quit may be served at any hour before midnight of the relit day from which it is intended to run. It is quite a mistake to think It must be served before twelve at noon. It (loe3 not matter whether the notice lis pushed under the door or sent by post, so long as it reachls the hands of the tenant. Notice from the agent is quite sufficient. Rent cannot be rai-ed bv notice without the consent Of the tenant. If his landlord compels him to leave the house he cannot, sue forcompensatioll 011 account of the injury to his business. CONSTRUCTION or WiiL.—" R. W.' (Pontnrdawe) is advised that C. D has only a life interest in testator's house and residuary estate. He may sell the lease, but if he does the money must ba invested, and he must take the interest only. After his de<,th the residuary estate and the proceeds of the sale of the lease will be divisible 1 etween E. F. aud G. n. in equal shares. NATURALISATION.—" Poland" will I e able to get a c rtificate of naturalisation on taking the necessary oath of allegiance and making the declarations re- quired under the Naturalisation of Aliens Act. The necessary forms can be obtained from the Home lic Secretary, Whitehall, London. He will probably save himself much trouble and some little delay if he employs a solicitor to prepare his papers. EX!Lcu,j,oRslrll,. Ap Gwaiia" (Pontardawe) is advised that if the bill for nursing the widow of the testator has been paid out of the money which accrued due to her in her lifetime under the will, the children among wh"m the testator's property was to be divided on the death of the widow have no right to complain. If, however, it has been paid out of that portion of the testator's estate which was to have been divided among them they ceitainly have a riaht to object. The widow was entitleil to tne income during her life, and it the executor has p«ll1 more than tliat to her or on her account the excess must come out of his own pocket. TRACTION Mall" (LlanvrtfhI) is advised that it has been decided that a tricycle which is capable of be ng propelled hy the feet, [ the rider or hy stram as an auxiliary or by steam alone is within the definition of a locomotive. We are of opinion that the tricycle or vehicle he is thinking of using would probably be held to come withiu the same definition, and that any person using it would have to comply with all the regulations in force as to the use of locomotive engines on highways. BOOK ON TRUST AND TRUSTEES.—Abercumbie (Fish- guard) wants to know the name and price of a recent work on the duti IS and powers of trustees. We always feel some unwillingness to recommend any book oil a legal subject for use by a correspondent, because we know that when a person who has had no legal train- ing, and, therefore, call have no knowledge of the ele- mentary principles of the taw, riads a law book and attempts to guide himself by it, he will probably g,t himself in s >me difficulty, and find, in the eud, that, he has been pursuing a very mistaken and expensive course. That a littla knowledge is a dangerous thing" is the conclusion come to by most men who utr.empt to transact their legal business by the aid of a book, without t*king the advice of a qualified man. Underbill's Law of Trusts and Trustees is an excel- lent work, written in such a manner as to be easily understood. The price is 15s., and Messrs. Butter- worth, of Fleet-street, London, are the publishers. Although we give him this information, we certainly do not advise him to attempt to be his own guide in legal matters. ILLEGAL LOTTERIES.—" W. H." (Cardiff) appears to possess the mistaken notion that. because he has had a ticket in a lottery and been unsuccessful he ought to be able to recover compensation from some person. In this he is quite mistaken. The proceeding be has ,been concerned in was an illegal one, and the land- lord of the public-house where the raffle wal held and the other persons concerned in carrying it out might be prosecuted, but be will never get his shilling back. ILLEGAL DISMISSAL.—"One of the Grieved" (Peny- graig), who has been summarily dismissed by his employer, does not tell us the circumstances which led to his dismissal, and, therefore, we are unable to form an opinion as to whether his dismissal was justifiable or not. If he waS guilty of oonduct such as would justify his employer in discharging him with- out, notice he cannot recover wages in lieu of notice or the wages for the month of his service during the course of which he was discharged. Under nocir- cumstances can he recover compensation for loss of board and lodging. If his employer was not legally- justified in discharging him, an action may be brought in the county-court to recover all wages due at the time of the discharge and a sum equal to one month's wages in lieu of notice. PATENTING INVENTION. J, H." (Merlhvr Tydfil) will be wise to employ a patent agent to take out his patent. A it experienced patent agent understands so much better than an amateur can how to frame the deacriytion of an invention (caiied the specification) so as to guard against imitat ions and infringements that the fees generally paid for his sesviees are usually well-spent money. The forms of application for pro- tection can be bought at the Post-office at Cardiff and ronny otheroft.be principal towns. He may either get complete or provisional protection at the first. The dutv payable on filing a complete specification at the first is 24, and the protection lasts for four years. On applying for provisional protection a fee of JE1 is payable, aud the protection lasts for nine months. If provisional protection be obtained a further fee of tS (making up the amount charged if complete protection lIe required in the first place) must be paid within the nine months, and the invention will then be protected for four years from the date of the first grant. We always advise intending patentees to apply in the first place for provisional protection, because then, if the applicant decides that his invention is not worth spending more on, he is at, no great loss. LiNDLOBAND TKNANT.—" Bob (Cardiff) is advised that if he lets a house at a certain annnal rental, no matter how it is to be paid, the tenancy is a yearly one, and can only be put an end to bybalf a year's notice to quit, to expire at the same time of tbe year as the tenancy commenced. If it is desired to make the tenancy a quarterly one, or for any shorter term, the rent for that term, and not an annual rent, should be quoted. All disputes may be avoided by making an express agreement as to notice. HUSBAND AND WIFB. Welshman (Bristol) is advised that the debt which was incurred by his wife before her marriage with hin. cannot be recovered againsthim. He must appear ard defend the action. He is certainly not liable, and from what he states we very much doubt whether the creditor could get judgment against his wife if he sued her. COSTS OF ACTION.—" J. E. J." (London) appears to have been drawn into certain legal proceedings by some very wily people. The preliminary correspondence clearly shows that he joined in the proceedinga with- out having any guarantee that his liability should not exceed a certain fixed amount. The amount, men- tioned in the correspondence was only an estimate, and that estimate happens to have been exceeded, as estimates of the cost of legal proceedings often are. He and his co-plaintiffs are each jointly and severally liable for the costs of the firm of solicitors they em- ploy but his liability under ths head only extends to such costs as were incurred before the 5th of May, when his letter of withdrawal would be delivered. As to the coats of the other side, he is liable for the costs up to the time of his name being struck out. of the pro- ceedings. But was it ever struck out? If his solici- tors did not withdraw his name from the proceedings, he is liable for the whole of the costs of the other ljitle but he would have a right of action against his own solicitors for damages for negligencp, i' be was compelled to pay any costs incurred after the date when his name ought to have been withdrawn from the proceedings. BILL OF SALU Inquire," (Pontypridd) is advised that if the bill of sale comprised praeticaly the whole of thr debtor's assets, and placed him in such a position that If the bill of sale holder bad taken possession he would have been unable to carry on his business, the creditors will be entitled to have it set aside if a bankruptcy petition be presented by or against the debtor withiu three calendar months after the date on which^it was given. LAND-TAX,—" W T. B." (Dinas Cross) can ascertain whether he is being charged with more than his pro- portion of the Land-tax if he adopts the following course :-The whole country is portioned out into a certain number of divisions for Land-tax purposes, and each (liv sioii has a certain amount to raise each year. He must inquire from the Collector, Surveyor, or Clerk to the Commissioner of Taxes the exact extent of the Land-tax Division in which his property is situate and the annual amount payable by the division. Then he must ascertain from the overseers of the poor for the various parishes in the division the assessed Value of property in the division for Poor-Uty purposes. When these particulars have been obtained, it will lie easy to c lculate what is payable in respect of his property. For example, if the division is called upon to pay a sum of £500 for Lmd-tax, aud the total r,f the annual vallIe of all property in the division for Poor-law purposes is £ 0 000, then each person liable ought to pay tax at the rate of 6d. in the iC on his Poor-iate asst ssment. This tax is the mostunjusfc find unequal one ever imposed in this country. The anomalies of the tax are so extraordinary, and the in- justice so obvious. that it is a matter for wonder that an entire change in the system has not been brought about long ago. As at first levied, it was a tax of oue- fifth of the rental of all lands in the kingdom. At tha present time it is as high as .36. in the 2 in a few places, and as low as rd, in others. The manner in which this arises is as follows, viz. -I;ach county pays tax upon a fixed capital sum, and is divided into districts, ealh of which pays upon a fixsd share of the capital sum paid upon b/ the county, and each 1"00- owner bears his proportion, not of the L\nd-!ax of the whole kingdom, but simply of the division in which his property is situate. The sums payable by each county and division were fixed in the reig:. of William and Mary, and remain unaltered. It will be seen, then, that in those counties and districts where property has immensely increased in value the owners are paying at an absurdly low rate, while owners of property in counties where the value has remaiuad almost stationary, or increased ouly slightly, are paying far more than their fair share of a tax which was intended to be an equal burden on all the hinds in the kingdom.

And the face grew peaked and eerie, And the large eyes strange and bright; And they said-too late-" He is weary! He shall rest for, at lea.t to-night!" But. at dawn when the birds were waking, As they watched in the silent room, With the sound of a strained cord breaking, A something snapped in the gloom.

The great ¡,;rtJen earth, that had been fair and sweet, Seemed but a to h the I fe I thought fI plete With joy grew iaely for a vanisi-ed May Forgotten sore vs resurrected lay Like ghastly skeletons about my feet. Above me stretched the silent suffering sky, Dumb with vnst anguish for departed suns, That brutal Time to nothingness had hurled.

Three little maidens, in im ocent glee, Tripped over the downs in the morning And a fr. sh wiud came from the green, alad sej, Where their father was tailing so cheoily, All thoughts of the danger scorning. And they laughed aloud as the bri-k bretzi blew All their golden tresses behind them- Ay, they laughed aloud, for right well they knew That at noon the old fisher bark wits due, And, awaiting her, dad should find thou. Three iittio maidens, in earl ow and pilÏn, Crept over the downs in the gloaming Alas, they had waited, and waited in vain, For the bravest of luggers that e'er sailed the main Had ended for ever its roaming. Three liitle maidens, all joyous and bright.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT AN INDIAN FUNERAL. There was very nearly a caie of premature cremation in Kulu a few days back (says a Lahore paper). A Hindoo had to all appearance died, but, as it was getting late, his relatives delaye-I burn- ing the corpse until next morning- As the corpse was being carried to the riverside to burn it suddenly sat bolt upright on tha bier, demanded its clothes, and^ wanted to know where it was being carried, the bearers, believing thaft an evil spirit had re-animated the body, dropped it, and fled panic-struck. In fact, the whole funeral procession resolved itself into aa impromptu cross-country scurry that was nafc included m the original programme. The sup- posed c^'P^e 1 i&t succeeded in unwinding itself, and walked eff home in search of its raiment; tMl mourners, whr> had looked on from a safe distance, at last began to think there might have been some mistake, and followed. Much to their horror, the resuscitated corpse refused to have anything more to do with them, a.nd then and there renounced Hindooiam and all its works, antf- declaring itself Mahommedan in future, walked off to make its formal profession of IsPam.
