Y Waith gyntaf y clywais enw Morgan Pela- gius oedd pan oeddwn yn grotyn, gan y diweddar wr anwjl Morgan Howells, swydd *ynwy. Credais wrth yr hyn a ddyvvedodd Morgan am dano ei fod yn ddyn drwg iawn, ond yr wyf wedi oael byw i wybod yn well am dano ac i'w edmygu yn fawr. lii heresi oedd dywedyd fod plant bach yn dduwiol pan eu genid, ac mai eiddo y cyfryw rai yw teyrnas fcefoedd, pa un a fyddent wedi cael ei bedyddio neu beidio. Mewn pechod y bejchiogodd fy mam arnaf ebai gwrihwyneb- wyr Pelagius. Ie," oedd yr atebiad, dy fam oedd mewn peohod, ao nid tydi pan J'th anwyd." Yr oedd Eglwys lthofain, yn foreu iawn, wedi myned i edrych ar fedydd fel math o "conjuro" ag oedd yn gosod pawb ei gweinyddid arno yn ddiogel 'kag y cythr&ul! Ac yr oedd yn ofynol cael priest i osod y nod a'i fys ar dalcen pob on ag oedd wedi ei olchi.

Yr oedd holl Qjxnru, yn enwedig y deheudir, wedi myned i'r un golygixdsu duwinyddol ag yntau. Yn ddiddadl daeth dau esgob yma o gymanfa Ffr&inc, sef Garmon a Bleiddyn, i bregethu yn erbyn golygi&dau Morgan Pelagius, ond yr oedd ef wedi marw, ao felly yr oedd ei gau- lynwyr heb eu blaenor dewr a dysgedig.

Yr oedd yr haul yn ngolwg y Derwyddon yn analygydd o ddoniau, neu hanfodion Duw Dad.

She is not yet twenty, but she played Mrs. Brown in "Dr. Bill" (on lou:) nearlv two years age, and she has played several other lead- ing parts in pr vincinl companies. She is a charmingly graceful girl of a bright, sunny tem- perament, and she is a great favourite with ner associates. Just now she is booked for a long tour, which began a short time since at Portsmouth. Mis Kate Belmie, the young reciter, who makes a speciality or shorr, "smart" recitations, which appear to meet the pubiic taste just now, is a daughter of the late Emil Behnke, the well-known autho- rity on voice production, and she is the protége of Dr. Lennox Brown, an old friend of her father's. For many yens (says the Morning Leader) she has taught hur fathel's system of voice training, Lotll with and for him and now she and her mother are carrying on the work. Miss Behnke studied bineing in Frank- Miss KATE BLIUNKE. I fort, as well a-s with Mr. Sims Reoves4 and she has also done a good deal of acting. Miss Emmdioc Qiford, who attracts so interest- mss E, OSFOBD. ing an attention every evening at the Lyric Tbeatro, is a charming singer nnd dancer (snys the Morning Leader). Her garb as viell as her art in this instance at- tracts the artistic eye. It i a most delightful costume of heliotrope soft 6ilk, with flowing sleeves of purple zouavo. The skirt is short and burdered with purple and gold, and her hair floats loosely down from beneath a dainty little head-dress of the same hues. She is a pupil of Mr. Edwin Holland's, and has studied elocution ith Mr. Allen Beaumont. She made her debut at the Globe Theatre as lIfargaret Plant genet in "Richard III," under the manage- ment of Mr. Richard Mansfield, but her first ap- pearance in light opera was at the Prince of Wales's in "Maid Marian," and she has remained in Mr. Horace Sedgei's company ever since. We give liere a portrait of the Princess Victoria Euiulanf, daugh- ter of the Q'teen of Hawaii (which we re- produce from the Daily Graphic), The young Princess is not so beauti- ful as journalists lmvc averred her to be; but "he is charmingly frank, has a pair of round, darlr, laughing eye?, and re- joices in a mnss of wavy hair. She was sent to school in Noitnamptor.- shire lit Harrowden Hall,nearIVolliti-borou.-h —because her mother had head the establishment commended by a lady ia theSandvt ichlsles.

We re-produco from the Daily Graphic a portrait BARON VON 13LEICH, BOEt liB. of the late Biiron Bleichroeder, the emi- nent banker of Berlin, and one of the confi- dants of Prince Bis- marck. Baron von Bleichroeder was British Consul-General in Ber- lin. The brilliant enter- tainments he gave in this capacity during the holding of tho Berlin Congress in 1878 will long be remem- bered. His palace in he Thiergarten quarter was the favourite rendezvous of the Pleni- potentiaries, and almost L very day slIch men as Lord Beaconsfield, Count Andrassy, Count Shou- valofT. tind Prince Gortchakoff might be met in his salons. The Right Hon. Robert William Duff, M.P. for Banff-hitp. for whOFe portrait we are indebted to the I;ail Mall Gazette, has been appointed Goverror of New South Wales. Mr. Duff lias represented Banffshire since 1861. He is one of the oldest of the Sotch members, and is a retired commandcr. He retired from the Navv on succeeding to his uncle's estates, and to the family seat in Pai- liament in the year 1861, when he also changed his name from Aber- cromby to that which lie now bears. He is a great sportsman, and is 57 years of age. MA. A. w. DUFF. I The late Mr. John Pettie, R.A., was bornin 1839 XHE LATE PhTilE, H A. and has thus died at the comparatively enrly age of 54. His youthful work exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy won him such distinction in the metropolis that an A.R.A. was bestowed upon him before he had reached the age of 27. When Lindseer died in 1873 tho vacant seat in tlie Academy became Mr. Pettie's. The Royal Aca- domician pictures are well known in the form of eogrtkving, liis Scene in the Trmple Gardens" being perhaps his most popular work. WR are indebted to the Morning Leader for our portrait. Mr. C lningsuv Disraeli, M.P.. the nephew and .1 heir of tho E>irl or Beaconsfield, attained his majority on Saturday, t he usual period for coming of age having in his case, bv a special clause in his unc!o's will, been ex- tended to his 26th birth- day. His father, Ralph Disraeli, was a brother of Lord beaconsfield, and second eon of Isaac Disraeli, the author of Curiosities of Lite- raturo" On Saturday Mr. Disraeli (wlose portrait we re-produce from the Morning) became the owner of the historic mansion of Hughenden, in Buckiiiiglianiiiiire, with jta jBtale of 2,000 acres MB. c.

He was educated at University College, and in 1879 gained the Trevelyan Goodall Scholarship, which provided for his art education for three years at the Slade School (under M. Legros). In 1881 he also gained a Slade Scholarship of B50 for three years, and in tha same year sent his first picture to the Academy, which was hung on the line, and purchased by the Queen. Since that time he has been a constant exhibitor. The Right Rev. George Howard Wilkinson, whom the Church electors of the Diocese of St. Andrew s have just chosen succes- sor to the late Bishop Wordsworth, was formerly Bishop of Truro. He re- signed that see in 1891 owing to continued ill- health, after holding it for seven years. Before that Dr. Wilkinson. who took orders in 1857, was well known as the V.cir of S*. Pater's, Eaton-Square. The bishop (says the Daily Graphic) is the author of a veiy large number of devotional works of wide circulation. NEW BISHOP OF ST. ANDHTW'S.

A BISHOP KIDNAPPED BY HiS PEOPLE. *-• A Reutet's telegram from rirnova says that on the occasion of the anniversary of Prince Ferdi- nand's birthday on Sunday last Mgr. Clement, the Metropolitan, delivered an address at the Cathe- dral there, in which he recommended the people to oppose the Government, as far as lay in their power. This advice, however, met with a very unfavourable reception from the congregation a: well as from the rest of the population, and a depu- tation was sent to request Mgr. Clement to refrain in future from inciting the people against th9 existing regime. The Metropolitan thereupon ad- dressed the crowds which had meanwhile col- lected in front of the episcopal residence, and declared that lie should continue in the same course. He was then forcibly se zed and conveyed in a carriage to the Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in tie Balkitns. The keys of his residence were handed to the Prefect, and a telegram was despatched to M. Stambuloff signed by seyeral members of the Sobranjo and by the Mayors of Tirnova and other towns, the inhabitants of which had taken part in the removal of the Metropolitan, requesting the Government to regard his removal as an accomplished fact, since the people declined to submit to a bishop who bad always ignored the true interests of Bulgaria.

CURIOUS CLAIM BY A LONDON LADY. The cii izens of Toronto have been somewhat asto- nished by a claim which has just been made by an English lady to the whole of the land on which the city is built. Tiie claimant is a Mrs- J. H. Pi'.kington, of North Kensington, and the demand she has made through the city solicitor is based upon the alleged receipt by her father-in-law, Lieu- tenant Pilkiugton, from George III., of three grants of land in Ontario in return for services rendered in the exploration of the interior i f Africa. The city of Toronto is now b'.iilt upon one of these grants, and the claim is for the wholo of the ground rents. The laud value of the city is over 83,000,000 dollars, so that, should the claim bo made out, which is not unnaturally regarded as extremely doubtful, the inberijance would be a highly valuable one. Or e of the islands in Lake Simcoe is, by the way, named Pilkington I-Iand, in honour of an officer in the Royal Engineers who served in Canada.

OUR PARIS LETTER. I PARIS, FEBRUARY 28. COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE. Swift explained that the absence of bliss in matrimony was due to young lovers giving more attention to making nets than to making cages. In France they make neither one nor the other. Where the wedlock is between honest families the young lady, if she pos- sesses a fortune or dot, has no occasion to either fish or snare for a husband; she knows that her Barkis will be provided for her, and guaranteed willin' in advance. If she has no fortune, she resorts to no artifices to entrap a husband, knowing fall well that would be love's labour lost the purchase-money for the husband must be planked down. As a rule, courtship in France succeeds, does not precede, matrimony. GENEALOGY AND SPECULATION. The number of lame ducks and shady people in Paris is large; and as they have to live by their wits, marrying and giving in marriage, more or less under difficulties, is a profession they fall back upon. It is rumoured to pay better than bill broking and wine mer- chanling. "A prince can make a belted knight, a marquess, duke, and a' that," but there are genealogists on the run, who will, for a modest fee, fabricate a family tree for you dating back as distant as you please, and connecting with any nobility selected-" the blood of all the Howards" included. With these parchments a self-conferred title of baron or count, good appearance, a speculative tailor, plausible manners to talk the head off a dog, and an effrontery that nothing can abash, the possessor can have no insur- mountable difficulty in wriggling himself into the confidence of a wealthy tradesman, with an heiress daughter to marry and to ennoble. The swindler compromises the poor girl and dictates his own conditions, to be either I bought off or make an honest woman of hi& victim, All he wants is money. ADVENTURESSES. Unlike the male prototype, the adventuress is more cabin'd, cribb'd, and oonfin'd; differ- ing from certain photographers, she cannot I operate alone, as she would thus come within the orbit of demi-mondianism, and so liable to be pounced upon by philanthropic police- men and the authorities. She is run by a syndicate composed of a loaned heavy father, a severe mamma, and a regu- lated supply of relatives to represent the Army, Navy, and Administrative Services. That syndicate is known by the commoner name of a matrimonial agency. The young lady is simply the decoy duck trained to im- personate an orphan with a fortune of at least one million francs, or a girl who has com- mitted a fredaine, but can screen the blemish with a dowry, or she may turn up as a buxom widow emerged from the disconsolate stage, or a divorcee with an undamaged fortune, though impaled to a battered virtue. She can only rake in rogues and idiots. She may be conducting half a dozen agency affections simultaneously, but she must have tact to keep the six Richmonds apart till she has plucked them seriatim of their last feathers, reducing them to silence by the threat of revealing their letters. Naturally she in time becomes a licensed prostitute, and finally expires in prison. MATRIMONIAL AGENCIES. The matrimonial agencies of Paris, from the moral and social point of view, do not supply a long-fejt want. There are some men in such desperate circumstances that they would marry a great grandmother, a mere oblivion," provided she has money. And there are stranded womeB of means, with an Erebus and Terror past, who desire only the right of a husband's name to mantle their mixing in even equivocal circles. These agencies, like the professional fortune-tellers, may be regarded as on the side of the police. They afford a few hours' employment to 1, supers" to represent social and titled dignities, either to veneer an imposture or to decorate table d'hote. Under the Second Empire the matrimonial agent Foy enioyed a good reputation. His beat those marriages made in Heaven," in a fewer num- ber resulting in separation. He died enormously wealthy, had a palatial country house at St. Cloud, and since the invasion called the Obus Mansion," from an un- exploded shell lodged half way in the facade over the hall door. He had carriages and powdered livery men. He was serious, his office was closed against borrowed plumes and the globe-trotter knave- An authentic noble, though penniless, could have his title "manured," as was the term employed at the Court of Louis XIV., by wedding a rich trader's daughter, and the latter's fortune had to be deposited either in cash, scrip, or legal deeds in the Bank of France, to be dealt with after the payment of Foy's fee, and the cele- bration of the marriage as stipulated. M. JULES FERRY. Truly only the unexpected arrives in Francs. Jules Ferry, President of the Senate, with the cdds in his favour to succeed M.Carnot! And at the moment, too, when he was viewed to be as dead and buried by the weight of ten years' unpopularity as an Egyptian King of the Third Dynasty. Only a veritable genius could have planned the oampaign to induce President Le Royer to resign to make room for M. Ferry. The latter is a man of undaunted courage, capacity, reso- lution, and grit, and in shunting him aside the dissident Republicans made a blunder; they decline to pardon him because, in reply to the national demand for Colonial expan- sion, he took over Tonkin, but he secured them Tunisia, which proved more costly than I anyone expected; the Parisians keep a milk- tooth for him because, as mayor of the capital during the siege, he compelled citizens to consume, instead of white rolls, dough-nuts," composed of sawdust, bone meal, sand, and a sprinkling of flour; the Monarchists detest him because! he secularised national education and expelled the unlicensed religious orders. Aud now! the resurreotionist emerges from his political; sepulchre to witness the battlefield of public life strewn with bis killed or wounded rivals and adversaries. Messrs. de Freycinet and Floquet, his competitors for the Presidency 1 of the Republic, gone; M. Clemenceau, the slaughterer of Ministries, pliyed out; M.j Rouvier a political incurable, aud M. Brisson a failure, not having taken his tide when at the flood. Free from even the suspicion of, Panamaism, M. Ferry takes the lead of the j new political departure; he will suit fcbej wishes of the country that likes to feel itsftlf governed by a vigorous hand and a definite. policy. His "here we are again will make politics red hot; it is sufficient to canse Rochefoi t to disappear by spontaneous com- bustion. STREET CHRISTENING. The times seem to be favourable to re- habilitation. Thus the municipal council in its annual baptisings of the streets of Paris has at last given the name "Gambetta" to the moiety of an avenue; later the entire avenue may be called after him, following the precedent for Victor Hugo. If conciliation zephyrs continue to blow, even Thiers him- self may be immortalised on a street plaque, The Government intends exercising its veto on the proposed appellations, Delesoluze, Felix Pyat, Blanqui, &c., notorious Commu- nists; such honours would be only re-calling the souvenirs of the Civil War that the amnesty intended to be in the bosom of the deep ocean buried." To call a blind alley after Ferti, the executed Community was even too much for the council; they declined t entertain that denomination. Is it not tin for the municipality to endow a ohair in tb College of France to expound the science Orismology," the college teaches alreatV 35 It Ologies." what signifies one more f REAL DRAMAS.
