GI&I"UDENING NOTES (By Mr. J. Muir, :Margam.) ABKRKANT GARDESS,-Abernant Hc)Us. grounds. and garden lie very close to Aberdaie. The entrance gate i9 on the border of the town, but onco inside the streets are lost sight of, and quite a pleasure park of grass and trees and shrubs art visible. In reaching the house one cannot but regret that such a fine mansion should not be fully- occupied and in the full height of prosperity, but, passing on to the garden, we find things being cared for and cultivated with much skill and perseverance. as in Mr. Comley they have a caretaker of the highest ability. The glass houses are Very numerous. Many of them require repairing, and they are not by any means in the best condition to secute per- fect results, but when the crops are seen inside it I is surprising how very good they are, and the trees bear an unmistakable indication of high-class future fertility. The vines wete bearing many clusters of well-finished fruit. Peaches were numerous and exira fine, and pine apples were abundant. Orchard house trees in pots were in capital condition, and although, for lack of suffi- cient labour, the place was not in what. is some. times termed" apple-pic order," the large amount of excellent produce to be seen ,i I everywhere was most creditable to Mr Comley, and, after all this is the true lest of a worthy and superior gardener. It is iin easy matter for ttiose with the very best ot appliances to make their crops perfect, but when these are deficient it is oi4y the skill of tlw culti- vafor tha.t can accomplish good and remunerative results, and this i well done at Abernant, FEUSDALE SHOW.—TO many, even in South Wales. Ferndale is little known. There is an ideit that it is some little, unimportant spot away up the mountains, a patch on the Khondda, a mis nomer, and a locality scant of vegetation-in short, a place where one might, look in vain for a flower and vegetable show; but all who saw the show there on August 24 would soon find out they had been labouring under II delusion,as the show in question was undoubtedly me of the finest I have seen this season, md the clean, practical manner in which JI9 produce was staged and shown in- licated that the exhibitors are uncom- monly well up in such matters, and the operations ,rid attentions of one and all of the officials would havo done credit to the workers of the largest and longest-establ.shed shows in the wholo country. I confess I was just curious to see how one of these real Valley shows was conducted, and I was agreeably surprised and charmed, and the most appropriate terms I can apply arc Excellent I First-rate The exhibits were staged in the spacious Board Schools, several of the lar"est rooms being filled, and the whole made a grand display. Vegetables were numerous, finely developed, very clean, and highly creditable. Plants, especially those that had been gi-own in windows, were staged in line condition, and flowers generally, inore particularly dahlias, pansies, carnations, and bouquets were exceed- ingly attractive. Inferior specimens were remark- nbly few, and the committee have every reason to feel proud of the grand results attending their labours. Their example ought to be followed in every p;Lrt of the kingdom. VTe-ws. D. Davis and Sons are noble supporters ot ho show, and many of the prizes are confined to heir workmen; but with such ain excellently .remised. Executive Committee the society ni»ht very well extend its operations to ft much wider circle with advantage to ail, as there need he no fear of the present exhibition being ousted to any extent by new exhibitors. That there is n keen appreciation of gardening in the district no ntio who saw the show in question can have the slightest doubt, and those who have fostered the taste for it have accoinplislied more good work than could huve been done in sny otliur direc- tion. GABDKNING UNOKB DIFFICULTIES -Many of those who cultivate gardens at Ferndalo do so under areat difficulties. The picturesque valley is very mountainous, and many of the gardens lie half- ei pendicular oil the sides of the hills. In visiting S >me of tiiem I had to hold on by the side of the boundary walls to keep on my feet, a.ud those who attend to such gardens must be exceedingly enthusiastic. The wonder i that anything grows ir. them, but with care and attention they produce linecroi>s,as the kidney beans, onions, potatoes, and other crops were quite at home and bearing aeavily. In fact, t!ley wers as s-ttiahtCtory ,18 wy cottage gardens I have seen this year, and the best of it is they set such a grand example to .,U w]lo can onlv secure gardens on hillsides. The idea in such cases is generally that it is useless to try &Lnd grow vegetables and flowers in such I »>.» inclinsd gardens at Ferndale ooMtion; but the intuitu .i tlia contrary, and there need bo point distinctly to the t-nnii j» oforiln hill sides could readily no doubt that many stern J bo converted into fertile gardens. STORING ONIONs,-Spring-sewn onions have, as a rule, done well this season. lave seen them much larger, but size is not everything »nd the bulbs of this year are medium w size, very firm, and well ripened, and if propet y harvested thev will be sure to keep souni or ,'ight or nine months. If left in the groun un^' ruin comes, they may begin to grow again, an spoiled. The best way is to pull them nil up. an I b(,st w;Ly is to p iiHow them to remain on the surface of the ground for a few days, and then move them under cover. It does not do to put them in a close place at first, and they should be kept, in a shed or some kind of open house until they are quite dry, when they should be divested of the loose skin and tops and stored put for the winter. BRITISH FERNS IN POTS.—Oh, says a writer in Garden Work, some may say, if they see a British fern in a pot,' you can get plenty like that at such a place,' and thoj regard the plant as it common weed, not good enough for pot culture. Nevertlle- let; some of the common British ferns are very attractive as pot plants, if properly planted and established. It seems to me that they are not so much in cultivation as pot plants simply because they cost so little. You may go into the country in summer ar.d take a fern from the hedgeside or the wood, without any need to ask what its price is, or to ask anyone's permission to take it. You are in the garden of Nature, at liberty to help yourself, and you can have a large one or a small one at the sa.me price. My object in writing this is to encourage amateurs or persons of little wealth to try a few of these bgsutitul plants, whether as greenhouse plants, or simply as 1 do myself, as window ornaments. All that is wanted is "window with little or no sun. Plant pro- perly, keep regularly moist, and the result will be a few fresh green plants, graceful and lovely, and ornaments that will be admired by all who see them. I should have been pleased if I could have said a little more in favour of these, my favourite plants; but I must not trespass too much on the valuable space of Garden Work. I hope, however, others more experienced in the study and cultivation of British ferns may be able to give some information." | INSECTS ON CINBRABIAS. Insects infest- 1 ing eineritriits may be destroyed by dipping I the plants in a solution of soft soap, mixing 2oi. with a gallon of water, and adding a quarter of a 9 pint of tobacco water. Place the plants in a very e cool, moist frame, or in a shaded plaoo out of I doors, but not under trees. f THE CULTIVATION or HYACINTHS U1 GI.AIHM.— Messrs. Webb's Bulb Catalogue for 1887 contains much useful information on bulb culture, and in reference to the above subject it is said were it not for the indisputable fact that hyacinths can be, and are, very successfully grown in water, it is a moot question whether the demand for tham would be lialf so great as it is at the present time. Of course, it mu-tt not. be understood that hyacinths can be grown so well in water as in pots, but owing to the great difficulty which dwellers in populous places experience in getting good soil to "0 grow their bulbs in, there i, it is popularly believed, no other way in which they can be grown so easily, so that those who have hyacinth glasses, and who would wish some little enjoyment from their possession, must of necessity have hyacinths too; and it may be advantageous here to state how to proceed in the water-cuiture, though preference must be given to the plan of growing them in cocoa-nut fibre refuse. It is of the first importance in this system of culture that suitable bulbs be obtained, and those who want, bulbs for glasses are strongly recommended to mention this circumstance when giving their orders, as only certain varieties are suitable for this particular purpose. Having taken the first step, and obtained the bulbs, next fill the glasses with clear rain water up to within half an inch or so of the base Of the bulb when it is placed on the top. The next pro- cedure is the simple one of placing the glasses in any cool dark room, cellar, or cupboard, so as to encourage the growth of its many roots us possible before the leaves begin to develop. From sixweeks to two months is nb..ut the time they should be kept in a dark place, and during that period the glasses should bo looked to occasionally for the purpose of supplying any deficiency of water through evaporation. As soon as the ghss gets well filled with roots, and the youna leaves ba-in to push through the crown of the bulbs, gradually bring them into the light. Ihe leaves will at fust be of a yellowish liue, ittid should not be fully exposed to the light until they have become quite green, when all the light that can be given them will be essential to their well doing. At this time the water in the glasses may be filled up to the baso of the bulb, and if a few small pieces of charcoal are placed in the glases it will be found of material assistance in keeping the water purr. and dean. Attention to these trifling details is really all that is required to have good spikes of livaciniiis bul, as tlte litter will require supports of some sort, it should be mentioned that the most simple and best is a wire support manufactured specially for the purpose.

Mr. Gladstone's Last Speech on the Irish Question. Important Letter from the Duke of Artfyli. The Duke of Argyll, writing to the Glasgow Herald of Tuesday, expresses the astonishment and pain with which he read Mr. Gladstone's last speech on the Iri.-h Question in the House of Commons. His Grace s .ys he ha.s applied to men of known chiracter and position, in some eases members of the Roman Catholic Church, with tne result I hat he now possesses facts concerning typical c ises which have not :.ppearod in print, all showing the tyranny exercised by he National League inTreiand oyer poor men in the ordinary business of life. This is going on all over Iral md, he adds, even in districts where we hear nothing of the secret tyrannies which are worked by the-e men m a community, and the scope given for envy, malice, and cove- tousness and all the vices is only too apparent. A Republican Journal on the Speech. TIIH Oeuiite on thy proclamation of the National League has been followed in Paris with great in- terest. Commenting on Mr. Gladstone's speech, the Rcpublique Fran^aife s-,tys It was Mr. Gladstone who opened the debate by a great, speech, the most brilliant uf those which were delivered, but, at the same tiiiie, the most void of seose. The Liberal journals themselves admit thev are somewhat disappointed. It is impossible' on reading the speech to imagine that it was delivered by an illustrious statesman. Were it not, for tho tone of authority pre- dominating it from beginning to end, it would sound lilce the lucubration of some young barris- ter How can n man who has had the honour of directing the affaiis of his country so long, and who may, perhaps, be called upon to take up the reins of' government again, trample under foot every notion of government by condoning with the proceeding* of tho National League, which appear most legitimate to liim nnii how dart; Iv justify Boycotting? Why, nothing appears n.ore natural, more common in his eyes. Do not the great ladies of the Primrose League agree together to give rlitsir OI'd"I' by preference to shopkeepers known for thuir Toryism ? Therefore, they piac- tice lioycotting! Such nrc the absurd analogies Mr. Gladstone is reduced t,.d Frankly, it is piti- able.

Proposed Fish Market for ) Cardiff. •'Pendragon," in the Evening Express of Tues- day says At the present time there is a large building in the very centre of Cardiff which is day says At the present time there is a large building in the very centre of Cardiff which is 1 nothing more nor K-.ss than a white elephant.' It was buiit, at a cost of £ 4.000, and was opened with a great flourish of trumpets. I refer to what used ta be tile Pubiie-hJt. Queen-street, and is now the Queen-siri-tst Arcade. I he work ol trans- formation was successfully earned out, and there was anotller flourish of uump"is; but agam c i»- appointment was the lot of the promoters, and the empty shops and generally torlorn appear- ance now presented by the auade have a depressing effect upon all wi,° by. And now for my proposition. v\e have for a long time heard complaints ol the want of a fish maiUei.

Granted, then, that a fish market is bound to be Started sooner or later in Cardiff, I would point out thai iL would be impossible to find a better abiding place than that afforded by the art a of the Queen- street Arcade. It IS in every way suited for the purpose, and at a small cost, the present shops and ofi)ceacouid be converted into an fine a fish market as one need desire.

After Dark at the Theatre Royal, Cardiff. After Dark," by Dion Boucicanlt, is ngnin )Ccup.) irig the hoards of the Cardiff Theatre this week, and, judging from the crowded appearance of the popular parts of the theatre on Nionda) evening. Mr. Fletcher should not have reason to regret, ihe re-engagement of this excellent drama. The plot will no.doubt be familiar to all theatre- goers. It is sensational to a degree, and yet is not of the too famili ir blood and thunder" order 'I'lirotiglintit Llie pi, ce t-utis a i-icli vein of I)oinour, never allowed to obtrude itself unduly, as is com- monlv the case, but which is alwavs in harmony wit h the characters and fituations of the play. The drama is enacted by a thoroughly competent, com- pany. The role of the heroine is in the excellent hands of Miss Agnes Knights, a young lady who fills the part to perfection. Gifted with a sweetly sympathetic voice, she pourtrays the eharaclur of the persecuted heroine with true artistic feeling, ;.nd throughout thoroughly enlists the sympathies of til., audience. The liRliter part of iJoie, a more fortune-favoured ludv, is also well taken by Miss Agnese Towers. Mr. (i, W Innes is quite at home in the part of the hero, manfully reyrets lus past, sins. arllj, aitled by his friend Gordon Chumhy, taken by Mr. Geoige Eiwar.is, coo.es out satfly and happily in the last act. The difficult character of Old Tom is equally well ucted by Mr. George W. Rathbone, who in the end, believing that. alter dark light will come," casts aside his dissolute habits and becomes a respectable member of society. Messrs. Charles Arnold and W. Fos- brooke, the two evil genii of the piece, also show true dramatic ability, whilst the minor characters are in good hands. The scenery is very realistic, and reflects credit on the stage management. After D;l.z-lc is a drama that should be seen by all persons, and no better opportunity rould be had of witnessing it than this week during its stay at the Theatre Royal.

The Bishop Ollivant Memorial I a, Llandaflk Arrival of the Statue at the Cathedral. Nearly five years have elal)sed since death took 1 away Bishop Ollivant, one of the most respected prelates ever connected with a Welsh bishopric. Before that lamentable event evidence of the general esteem in which his lordship was held had come in tangible and unmistakable form. By public subscription a splendid portrait of the bishop. which cost nearly L700, had been painted by a famous artist, and presented, and it now graces the wans of tlll Episcopal Palace of Llan. daff. When Bishop OUivant died, about the end of 1882. the general wish to preserve the memory of the estimable divine found expression in many ways throughout the diocese. Among those who actively promoted the movement were the Rev. W. Bruce, Bishop Lewis, Bishop Perry, and the Very Rev. Dean Vaughan. When the feeling of sympathy with the objects of the movement had crystallised officers were appointed, Mr. 0. n. Jones accepting the onerous post of secretary, and Mr. Evans (Brecon Bank) that of treasurer. It is un- necessary nuw to speak of the efforts put forth and the results accruing therefrom. Enough to say that the funds poured into the coffers of the promoters with a spontaneity that justified them in resolving upon the adoption of a memorial which, involving tho expenditure of about £ 1.000, was of a character eminently suited to worthily commemorate a life so nobly spent as that of the late bishop. Mr. H. H. Arm- stead, K.A., a sculptor of repute, was commis- sioned to execute a life-site emgy of the deceased nrelate, and Mr. Clarke, of Llandaff, to provide a tomb worthy of the statue. En p«ssa?it it may be stated that Mr. Armst^ui was the sculptor who executed the statue of Bishop Clowes wInch has been placed in Carlisle Cathedral; also the effigies of Archdeacon Mnore. Dean Howard, and the late Bishop of Winchester the memorial figure of Mi- Edmund Street, the architect, or New Law Courts, placed in the grand had and latterly that I in of Mr. I albot, jun., which is now in Margam Abbey. The statue of Bishop Oilivant. arrived in Caiuiff on Monday last, and since then workmen have being busily engaged in setting up and prepaiing the tomb upon which the foimer is to be placed. Apai-t frotxi the insciipUon which is to be cut, on the tomb, it is believed that all the work will be finished in a few days. DKSCR1PT10N OF THE FFFIGY AND TOMB The tomb 16 placed near thu first arch wiihin the sacrarium, in close juxta-position to that of Bi.-h p Marshal, oneof the earlier prdatcs of I he dillcesc. The effigy, full-sized, shows the late bishop in lull canonii-ais lying in a recumbent, position. The hands are reverently clasped in prayer, and the face wears a sweeily serene expression, the artist having apparent ly caught something of that kindh gentle look which was scarcely ever absent, from the countenance of Bit-hop Oiiivant. The tieal- meut of the stone has been exceedingly artistic, every lineament, in the face, every fold in the fiow- ling robes and fluffy ruffl-'S and sleeves has been most cunningly graven. A thing of beauty, toe, is the tomb, which, designed by the late Mr. Prichardt has been executed by Mr. Clarke. It is of fine Caen stone, and has been subjected to most. delicate chiselling. Twelve panels run ttong the sides, bearing the arms of the see Ind of the bislion, mid having dainty little lillara of serpentine marble. The moulding is diaste, and the embellihtnents of crockets and tusses have been excellently done. Altogether, tiis latest addition to the treasures of rare sculp- ttie preserved within the ancient Cathedral is a beautiful specimen of fine art, and will assuredly ccumiand attention from connoisseurs for many Yrs to come,

Mr. J. T. D. Llewelyn and the Swansea Primrose League. Demonstration at Penllergare. The Swansea Beaconsneld Habitation of the Primrose League had an outing to Penllergare on Silt urday afternoon, and, the weather being fine the members had the full enj-ymenr, of the Ilt beautiful wurroundings of Mr. Llewelyn's residence, Mr. and Mrs. Llewelyn doing everything in their power to entertain them. < Mr. J. T. D. LLEWELYN afterwords delivered an I address. He said iv^■thought the meeting. the < Primrose League should he as much for the pur- poses of pleasure in the summer as for bu-uness in the winter. li It. lie thought they should always hear in mind the aim and object of the league which was to organise, both in season and out. of season, so that when election times cattle round they would be found ready for the battle-tu sow at one time so that they might, reap at another. The great point was to hit hard against prejudice, and get people to see both sides fairly and tempe- ratelv, and what, they had mostly to depend upon WIIB education, for they were right, and they were, bouiid lo will. News lxittl iti-i-iveii IliaL day of a Conservative maj irity in ihe House of Com- mons, which was larger than lhey Imd anticipated. I They iiad at the in a 1 ot affairs a man of most marked points and abilities. E. il;td had to drive a team which hitherto had worked very well together, hut they must remember i italt, there were points which might dissolve the con- nectiwn between the Conservatives and the Liberal j Unionists — or, rather, the Radical Unionists,, for he drew ? distinction between them. tHeat, licar.) While there were many points in common between the Conservatives and Lord H irtington there were also between the Conserva- tives and Mr. Chamberlain. The latter had acted uo to the present in very good faith. Like Mr. Chamberlain, none of them liked coercion for its own sake, but law and order were bound to be maintained against the ^rhoritv individuals mieht set up in a country. Mr. Gladstone tiao had a hitter on—(laughter)-and that blister 4as Mr. Parneli Itwasilrawingprettyfiardandstrong.it that moment. The tilistet- was made up of loreign monev at his back and foreign dictation. Ihey knew' what the cotistituenciei said at the, la-t, dectiun, and although there had been indications ihat the Liberal Unionists did not carry the same .joihies as they had, the Couservatives still Held their own. and there was an increasing hut Ii in Lord Salisbury. But it was a most pitiful thing to see the obstruction which was being carried on in the House, an 0 ™ "c1 th« Liberal party had lent, themselves. Had i not been for this obstruction several Acts ot inestimable value would have been passed, such as the Technical Education Bill, which was to put B.itish people in it portion to compete with foreigners for the plums in the way of commercial situations in this country, and the Bill for regula- ting the incidence of the tithe renl-cliaige, which was greaily wanted, or they would have a revolution in Wales. In 92 ia>s o hush, this session more than liiilf were taken up by Irish questions, and the Irish members made! 900 soeeches, occupying three-quai teis of the whole time. Mr. Healy himself made 282 of those speeches, and the members for Northamp- ton 117 between them. Such ob3iruction was )L completely doing away with the usefulness ot t ie House of Comm ms. He believed the Unionists would continue to buck lip the Conservatives in such a way as to over-ride all opposition. It was said titere would' be a dissolution in the spring. He did not think sor;he thought it would be a sad thiner to do in the Governments excellent atidsecut-o posit ion, ittid with 11 majority which would be maintained to its full strength. In conclusion, Mr. Lleweiyn inveighed on t IIH ad- vantages to be gained from increased knowledge of politics, and exprestted the hope that there would be some good business meetings of the league during the winter. Mr. CHAHLES BATH, in moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Llewelyn for his excellent address, said there was only one thing left to be desired by that tiiat Ih", Speaker should be ap- pealing to them for their votes. If Mr. Llewelyn could only be btought to stand for Swansea, under the shadow of his old home. he had little fear of the result. The resolution was carried with acclamation.

"JJ.Y: The following letter, addressed by the writer to his brother, a large mereliant of Cardiff and a respected member of the Town Council of thut borough, is so graphic in its delineations of Ameri- can life and customs, and so full of practical and homely interest, that we make no apology for prp- senting it to our readers. The letter is dated from a town in the Siete of Colorado, and is as f. Hows I "DEAR —————. li is some time since I troubled you with a 11et.ter. and you may be p;e:Lsed to learn that I am arrived in Colorado all safe. I eti!bnrked on board the steamship Montreal on July 12, IniDiin Line, Liverpool, and arrived in New York—JeiseyCity— on Sunday morning, the 24th. After passing the Cus- toms, I stayed about Jersey City and Brooklyn a few hours, rrd at six p.m. took train by the Erie Railway to Chicago. New York State had bre:) visited with very heavy thunderstorms for some days previous, and that night a terrific storm broke out again. with such thunder and lightning as we rarely witness in tngland. We were rattling along at a great speed in the dark, when our train was slopped at a depdt by a telegram announcing a 'wash out' some 20 u.ili-s ahead of us, and about 200 miles from New York. Our train Jay there some hours, and when day broke crept on to the scene of the disaster. Owing to the con- tinuous rains, the mountain streams had swollen, and the culverting under the railway being totally inadequate for such an emergency, the railway packing had given way. The line was a double one, and runs bet ween t lie foot ci tiie mountain Hnd theSusquehanna River. A freight train frOITI Chicago to New York came to this w. ak place, and, strange to say, the luc<.motive passed on the metals, hut the couplings snapped, and 21 cars loaued with butter unil cheese went over the embankment. This was tlie scene which met out- gaze when we arrived there and alighted to witness it. About 200 Italians were employed in tlei-ring the wreck, a.id alter a total of eight hours' delay one line war- repaired, and wu went on to Ci icago, arriving there at nine 11.111. on Tu, s l,ty.

Tiie Yankees' comic papers urc filled with cai toons ridiculing England, I have a miserable pen und ink like water, so you must excuse me. I couid keep on six hours on wy impressions of America, but u.ust disist, hoping to resume the subject on some future occasion. The features of Ameiican landscape don't favourably compare with those of England. New York Stale is mountainous and piciuie-que. But. Indiana, Missouri, K msas, and Coloiado, as far as here, is one vast ijndy desert when compared to English soil. The soil is evidently sea sand, an i ) ou Can tra vel a hundred miles at a span and not see a stone as big as your hand. The house" are chiefly lauilt of boards, as it costs so much to transport stone such distances. Indian corn is indigenous to this light, sandy soil, which is of a snuff colour, the two feet at the surface being a tew shaoes darker. My route WaS far south of the Wheat Belt, and I have scarcely seen a field of wheat from New York here, and not one well-kept garden. JEveiyilnng is covered ill gardens by a dense growth of weeds. Tlie prairie has no good coat of I uri anywhere The sanii is oearlv always visible, aud the herbage is p.ickly and bitter. !a to thrive on it, but i-q-jirv ia,-ger acreage to wander over. A great deal of farm lands run to waste twenty- feet, of headland all around e;-c)i fiid is nev;r ploughed, as it h III to be kept f"r the horses to turn I t- rows of corn during its growth. Tlie cultivator is an implement consisting of four steel ep.ides, fixed, which loosen and turn up the soil between fixed, which loosen and turn up the soil between tlie corn while growing, which would otherwise tie choked with weeds, the chief of which is sun- flower, which grows git. and 10ft. bi¡,;h. Tlie cultivator is worked by one horse and gui ied like a plough. The coru is 3jft. and 4ft. from row to row, and the pLnts 1ft. apart. They vary in h jghi from 6tt. to 9ft., and bear one or two cO^s each. When the corn is consumed by hogs on the farm it is stacked in ruoe shocks on the field und us«d as wanted. Qorses and cattle eagerly eat the all ied le tves off the stalk. It is a plant ofluxmiant growth aud a gr066 feeder, with broad greeu leaves like ouiu u<*iies. "All the cultivated and uncultivateJInnd iainter- sected by roads 60ft. wide, dividing the land into perfect quures of a mile in eacn section—640 acres. These roads seem absurdly wide. No effort is made to repair the track. Rude wooden bridges cover the gutters. A count ry ride in a wagon or buggy is a caution, and it is impossible to follow the track in the dark. You cannot walk them- roads without gieat fatigue, owing to the sandy soil American- eeldom walk. The conveyance are all narrow-wheeled four-wheelers, and horse- are nearly always run in pair*. I was St ruck bv the magnificent inules used in Kansae City. They are used to pairs for all heavy work, and are troui tiTteen to seventeen hands. They wear out any horses in all heavy draught They run the tra. -cars, and woulu be splendid things to import for J at work in English towns. I aID told they can be bought cheap at Galveston, in the Gulf of Mexico, and can be, aiiipped to England a.t 308. freight. I believe there is money in it. What would your brother councillor, Hurley, say of it ? The railways in America. ale. of the most tem- porary character,and are not fenced on LIIO praii-le, and ntver in the towns and cities. The railway depdts are the resorts of loafers and thieves. You can buy a ticket fron). a broker, who always gets a bi out. of you. Fares vary often, and there is nothing straightforward about it. As a rule, they charge about threocenta a mile. It cost too nearly £ 10 railway fare from New York here; ocean fare, £ 7. I left Esther £20, and have about AW now. I hope next week to drop into a berth in Denver. I won't be particular, but will tnke onv- tkiinf at a sawmill vr manufaclory. This country WOD t compare with England for neatness and ponv fort, but therw is a rude plenty bete. No one lacks food. Good money is earned, but everything, except meat, is dear.

SPIRIT OF THE WELSH PRESS. By U Gwyliedydd." The eisteddfod having coma arid gone, the Welsh newspapers have returned to their more congenial subject of politics. They revel in the discussion of ideal nnd theoretical questions which c-innot be of practical advantage to those who read them. It. is but. seidotn that inattei-S affecting tmde and the maerial welfare of the people are noticed. The conduct of the pnpers being ex- clusively in the hands of ministers of reiigion accounts for this peculiarity of the Welsh press. The two papers published at Aberdare treat occasionall v, of the coal and tin indus- tries, a) nd the Carnarvon papers touch now and then upon the Plate woks; but the papers which protess to lead and direct the Welsh mind—the Baner, Gicyliedydd, Tyi, Goleuad, Celt and <Nertn—rarely mention these sublunary things The tithe question, disestablishment, and Home Ru!e are the subjects which absorb the attention I']:. ,1 r.' t 01 tile men or "lIgnt ana leamng" 01 uie weisn I;i-c,ss. I- Riiyfel y DtLwin," Penbleth y Llywod- raeth," Y Cyngrair Cenedlaetliol," 11 Yr Encilwyr Rhyddfrydol, and such subjects form the leading articles of this week. The sources of information upon which the articles are written are the London Daily News and ihe letters of the Irish correspon- dents of the Radical dailies of Liverpool and CardiC. THE SALISBURY GOVERNMENT. Most of the Radical papers have discovered that the present Government is in great straits and on tiie point of dissolution. rhe leaaing article of the Gwyliedydd is entitled "Cyfyngder y Lly wodraeth," and the editor discusses the proba- t)ilitv of a getier;il election %iiiiin :i, few montbs The Goleuad ivs the Government of LordSalisbury lias taken another downward step. The Tyst assmes its readers that "the present Government is fast coming to an end," acd the Celt "hears the tramp of the English Gladstonian members hastening to Ireland." The Turian i-e. peats the shibboleth in these stereotyped words:— One of the clearest signs of the times is that the present Government is hastening to its eud. Signs < f dissolution are seen on every hand. Even the Banw is enamoured of the Iriah blarney, for it says:— There is an old Greek proverb which states that tho-e whom the gods wish to destroy thev first in;,ke This is the fate of Lord Salisbury's Government. MK. CHAMBKBLAIN. The Home Rule and Gladstonian papers ara much exercised over Mr. Chamberlain, anct are ot opinion that he i going to follow Sir George Tre- velyan. But I fear they are counting their chic-kens before they are hutched. Tnis gentleman has been abused wholesale, and no words were found strong enough to condemn him. The Bauer says.— The question that is now asked about the Right Honourable Joseph Chamberlain is, W ill the wan- ilei-c,r retui ii ?

THK MINKS BLIM The Bantr condemns the action tiie Home Secretary in connection wiih the Mines bill. Mr. Matthews, it says, opposed every good proposal made by the labour members.

WF.LSH FUKACHIXG. The American J)iych contains a large amount of matter about Wales nnd I lie Welii, and i. pos. 1 sibly, batter nb'e to form correct opinions of our character and habits than those who have never lett the old country. The number of the I/iych for the llll. instant discusses the character of preachers and preaching in Wales in vigurous and le ti less language. It says Tl.e moral character ol the Welsh people does not s. "lnd so high as the number of its preacheis would lead us to expect; and it is only to ti small extent that the evils which i disgraced the country before the advent Hf Christianity, Protestantism,and Nonconformity have been removed. It is true that the Sundav School and tlie pulpit have broken up the dis- giaceful scenes that were foiineily met wit.1 at fairs, and ab 'i;-i>< d the Mubsnntau." The tem- (..eiance movem. ot ii due to them; but statistics sikow that 1 lie Welsh is the most unchaste ("anni- I wair") in the world. It is becoming general in every district of Wales to find that some scampi has gone to America to evtule the payment of his detus, or with the money of other people in his pocket. We omiend that, the puluit is respon- sible for this state of things. Tiie language used in the Welsh pulnit is worse than that of any country in Europe. Thee would be no ciiiatice tor preachers 111 England or America who did not speak good English. There is no excuse tor this defect in Wales. The language of the pulpit th -uld be such as could be transferred straight to tiie press. The preachers waste much of their time in unprofitable visithtio". and go ubout too much "for the benefit of their health!" We On not class the whole of the Welsh preacheis under the above category, we acknowledge that there are in conned ion with every denomination many worthy ministers who do their work nobly, but the num- ber of the culprits is so great that the character of Welsh preaching lias been disgraced by them. THK LATIC" IDiasrN." Several of the papers refer to the death of this clergyman. The following tribute from the Gwyliedydd will be read with pleasure by his friends and relatives:- We retain the most affectionate rewllrctions of him, and cannot allow the occasion of his demh to pass without placing one smalt flower on his grave. Ue was a local preacher with our con- nexion fur years. He printed the huryrawa at) Llanidloes, and worked upon it altorwards at bolgelley. He left us 30 years ago, when he wasj ordained by the lute Bishop of St .David's. He was a man of considerable ability, great industry, and carefulness; an evangt-licl preacher, and did not lose the respect of the Ci uich of his earlier QùYs —as has been the case wiih some. Gioalia says that "Idrisyn" v, as tlie author of many valuable works, besides sermons, pamphlets, &c., and that he obtained £ 50 a year in 1880 from lier Majesty's Civil List in recognition of his s. vices to literature.

Thequestion of the tithe agitation came before he association of the Calvinistic Methodists at Car- narvon last week in response to a message from the Vale of Clwyd monthly meeting. The" Corph" has always been shy of politics at ollicial meetings. In this instance the members could not evade it, and it is interesting to read the report of the discussion in the Goleuad. Drll, Thomas and Hughes and other leading lights of he denomination were present. A special com- mittee drew up the following resolution :— That this association expresses deep sympathy with the farmers in the distress they have had to bear for several years, and especially in the disagreeable misunderstandings about tithes, and hopes that the cause of the misunderstanding may l>e removed by applying titlies to national pur- ooses. In the meantime it rworuiuentia, in tlie inost serious manner, that, whatever the tempts* lion may be, Lite farmers will act in a mannar honourable to themselves and the religion which tliey profess.

Annual Meeting of the Llanelly Football Club. The annur) meeting of thp LlaneUy Football Club was held at the Athenaeum-hall on Piiu«y. Dr. H. C. Buckley was in the chair, and there wns a very large tittendnnee.-In opening the meetins Dr. Buckley said he was pleased to see sucii a large a'tendancei, as it proved that there was still a vaf-t amount of enthusiasm in Llane!lv touching the game of football; and this being the annual meet- ing jast before the commencement of the season, he felt assured that they were entering on a successful ti uie. They had one vprr imporrant matter to decide that night, viz., the election of a captain. In this matter he would ask them to throw aside evety personal feeling or mark of friendship, and vote f. the man whom they considered possessed tin; merits which would justify liitn in Deing placed in that position.—The statement of accounts tor the past season was then submitted to the meeting, and copies circulated among the members. From this s'atement it appeared that the receipts for i186687 were £ S90 Is. 8d" and the expenditure i £ 1.01513- 2id showing a d-ficit of L125 lis 61 — Mr. H. Evans proposed that the accounts as pre- sented 00 the balance-sheet be accepted, and thought their very best thanks were due to Mr. Wilkin* for the care he had taken in making them out.-Nir. J. A. Williams seconded, and it was unanimously carried.-The Chairman said the nex' business was to consider whether they shoul: enter for the South Wales Challenge Cup this season. It w,.iq, of course, a matter which the members themselves would have to decide, but for his part lie thought this com- petition gave a kind of fillip to foot.t)all.- Mr W. Wilkins knew very well that the competi- tion caused con.-iderable feeling; still he thought it would be wise to enter He concluded by making a proposition to that effect, which, when seconded. WHS unanimously carried.-A Vfte of thanks t) the officers tor the past yenr was carried with enlhuslasm.-The Chairman then introduced tile question of the evenitig-tl,.e election of captxin for the ensuing season.—The following were the nominations for the poQL :-i%lessrs. D. IL Bowen. W. Wilkins, J. G. Lewis, J. Howell, and F. N. Powell.—The Chairman announced that Messrs. F. N, Powell and J. Howell had willidiawn.- Mr. W. Wilkins said that he also wished to with- draw, nnd th:il his official careei- willi the club had closed. The secretaries had IH.d notics to the effect that he would not stand, but they had not mtidti it known.—Mr. Ci,iviii Henry said thnt hi had received the note. There were now only two names left, those of Messrs. D. H. Bowen and Mr. J E. Lewis. The mention of the former was received r- with loud applause.-A It.ei, some discussion a vote was taken, ana Mr D. H. Bowen was elected captain by an overwhelming majority. Mr. Bowen said that he hardly knew what to say. There were many reasons whv he should be glad that, he was elected captain. Some of his old friends hlld not been verv kind to him in the pke-t he hopeu they would not be so hard in the future. Last year he had done his best. They did not win the cup but it was not his fauit.-Nit-. J. G. Lewis was appoiuted vice- captain, Mr. Webb captain of the "A" tenm, a -td the captain of the second team will be appointed by the members themselves.

When the flag fell Morgan went, off with a rush, and headed his opponent, but it WHS clearly a waiting race, for there was no diminution of the uistatice between theau until running into the straight at the eighth lap, wnen Ace spurted past his opponent, held his position, and won by a yard amidst great enthusiasm, lime, 4uin, Usees.

The annual sports conducted under the auspices of t he athletic club were held on Monday on the j Liwynvpia Cricket Ground, and were a great success both in point of attendance and the quality of the events.

Hutchins, the champion of the world, failed, however, to make un appearance. The handicaps were advertised on the Sieffield principle, and every candidate knew his start prior to the day.
