The results obtained in English History. English Grammar, Geography. Literature, and Scripture History are ex- tremely gratifying. In French, the work on the whole was very satisfactory, considering the short time that most of the pupils have been learning the language. They showed a fall' knowled;e of the grammar, and all seemed to be weil :¡,ble to unrlerstan(l the easier forms of conversational phrases. The trans- iatioll was carefully prepared an,] well known. In Al'ithmt'tic, the results were on the whole very crewt" aMe. The paJ?ers were exceedingly neat, and the sums cle.n-ly and distinctly worked out. The accuracy of the work is more commendable, as the larger number of <jll'stil1us were selected from text books not nsed by the pupils. Several of the classes were examined IJiva !lQce, and we are glad to say that a8 a rule the pupihl showed by their really perception of the drift of the questions, and their ready answers, that they had studied their subjects inteliigently. Ta.king the chool a. a wh')l, we are satif'.e,l that good y;nrk ha,¡ been done ,luring the yea.r, ::iTlII a sound fomulation aid for the future. We heartily congratulate Miss Buck and her aS8istant teachers on the successful i:>Slle of this year's ,"xamination. JOHN MORRIS, Memorial CoHege. Brecon. D. ROWLANDS, Memorial College, Brecon. W. S.

SA TURDA Y, JULY 2, 1881.
SA TURDA Y, JULY 2, 1881. LOCAL. THE CARMFF LETTER CARRIERS AND STAMPERS. THE petition of the Cardiff letter carriers and stampers, and which was forwarded on Tues- day to the POSTMASTER-GENERAL, reveals a state of things which ought to have been re- medied long ago. The petitioners simply ask for justice, and nothing more. They have a real grievance, and naturally wish to have it remedied. They state that the letter carriers and stampers of less important towns than Cardiff, in England and Wales, are in receipt of wages ranging to 25s a week, whilst the wages at Cardiff are only from 15s, rising by Is a week until 20s is reached. They also show plainly enough that their work is of the most arduous description, there being only 17 letter- carriers and two stampers to a population of between 80,000 and 100,000 persons, besides the floating population, which they truly characterise as being second only to Liver- pool that the area of Cardiff is 11 miles; and that they work for 9g hours a day, during 2 which the letter-carriers walk on an average 20 miles. With regard to the wages of less important towns than Cardiff being 25 per cent. more than the sum given at Cardiff, the petitioners have certainly a just ground of complaint. The work done for the small wages quoted further enhances their claim but when we are also informed that recently there has been added to their duties the extra work involved in another delivery- making in all four per day-the petitioners having received no corresponding increase in wages, we really cannot see how the Posr- MASTER-GENERAL can do otherwise than grant the petition of a body of men who deserve every consideration, their petition being simply that they may be placed in a similar position to the letter-carriers of Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham, Bradford, and Manchester. The Cardiff postmen are proverbial for their civility and readiness to oblige the public and the trouble taken by them to deliver letters, <&c., to people who have changed their address is especially deserving of favourable mention. We trust, therefore, that their prayer will be speedily granted. LOCAL RAILWAYMEN AND THE NINE HOURS' MOVEMENT. THE railwaymen of this district are not behind in taking part in the nine hours' movement. A meeting of the Cardiff Com- mittee was held on Monday evening, when a discussion of the objects of the movement took place and as evidence that the com- mittee are fully alive to the importance of the subject, it was decided that meetings of the committee shall be held every fortnight. The desirability of having a public meeting at Cardiff for the purpose of obtaining the sympathy of the public in the movement was discussed, and will be further considered at the next meeting. We do not think it is necessary to hold a meeting to ob- tain the sympathy of the public, for the simple and all-sumcient reason that the public sympathy appears to be everywhere in favour of the men and their just claims. But notwithstanding that the objects of the promoters of the nine hours' movement have been ventilated, discussed, and fairly reported in the press in the metro- polis and various parts of the country, yet the subject has, it must be confessed, not received the same amount of consideration in this district. For this reason-to enable the public of South Wales and Monmouth- shire to fully understand the aims of those who wish to shorten the long hours of rail- way men, we trust the Cardiff Committee will decide on the proposed public meeting, and invite delegates from other towns in South Wales. QUACK DOCTORS IN WALES. THE author of "British Goblins has shown how strongly implanted in the minds of Welsh people, even in the present so-called enlightened age, are the old superstitions respecting ghosts, fairies, witches, fortune- tellers, and "wise men." There is no doubt that the extent to which quack doctors and itinerant professors of the medical art are em- ployed now-a-days by country people is owing in a great measure to the belief that they possess occult powers outside and beyond their bare medical and surgical knowledge. Only in this way can we account for the strange fact that in many cases when a thoroughly qualined doctor is doing his best for his patient, and expecting certain results to follow the course of treatment which he has adopted, he is completely nonplussed by the unaccountable turn his patient .takes. On Monday afternoon, at an inquest held on a haulier, who died in consequence of blood poisoning, a case of this preference for quack treatment was brought to light. The de- ceased man Md crushed his thumb in the colliery, and mortification setting in resulted in his death. Deceased's widow said that no one but the regular doctor had attended him, but her next door neighbour proved that a local quack had been called in, and that he had been attending deceased a week before he died. Why deceased's widow should seek to hide the fact of a quack having been called in it is dimcult to imagine but although many people secretly believe in the power and ability of such impostors, very few are ready to openly avow their belief, which ought to show them that their faith is wrongly placed. CHAPEL BUILDING IN WALES. A few weeks ago we made a few remarks on chapel building and chapel debts, combatting the opinion that if chapels cannot be erected free from debt at the outset, they ought not to be built at all. At the laying of the foundation stone of a new Independent chapel, at LIangennech. Dr. THOMAS, of Liverpool, referred to the subject, and said that some might complain of the building as being too grand, but they should bear in mind that it was the house of GoD, and no- thing .was too grand and beautiful for Him. But though it was GoD's building, it was built for the convenience of the people, and they would have to pay for it. This they would be able to do very easily if they had willing hearts. An old custom was to build a chapel, and leave the following generation to pay for it. He hoped they wer3 not going to do that. They might say it was now a bad time to build; that was true. But when he saw the money daily waisted, he felt that if this was diverted into the right channel it would be very easy to pay for the building. It cannot be said that the Welsh people are close-nsted where their chapels are concerned, although, as Dr. THOMAS re- marked, more might be done if people were more in earnest about spiritual things. TYPHOID FEVER AT EBBW VALE. ALTHOUGH the summer weather has so far not been hot, we are informed that typhoid fever is raging to an alarming extent in the lower part of the Ebbw valley, known aa Victoria. The disease prevails in connection with some fami- lies to the extent of four or iive being down ? at the same time. There is a rumour that I in order to prevent the contagion spreading amongst the children, the authorities contemplate closing the board schools in the district for a time. The sanitary condition of the place is far from being what it ought to be. Overcrowding, to an unreason- able extent, is indulged in by many families, and is doubtless to a great degree the cause of the extent to which the fever prevails. Once typhoid obtains a lodgment in a place where the dwellings ef tho poor are close together, over- crow ded, and undraincd, it is exceedingly II dimcult to prevent the spreading of the con- ta.glull, and oftentimes months elapse before it is finally got rid of. The sanitary autho- j ritioi! of Victoria iiidc;t at once put au L'.nd to the ovei'crc.wding, and to the other evils ex- ¡Hti1)[ in the fever-sttickeu viHagc. Should the weather become very hot, as there is I reasonable probability it will shortly, the rey may become epidemic, unless the most strenuous exertions are made by the authorities, and seconded by the inhabitants, to put the village in a thoroughly sanitary I state. THE JEWS AND THE SABBATH. AT the Aberdare police-court on Tuesday, the question of the Jews and their obser- vance of their Sabbath came before the court. It appeared that in consequence of the absence of a necessary witness—a Jew— a case of stealing a shirt had to be remanded from Saturday last till Tuesday. On appear- ing on Tuesday, the Jewish witness was asked to explain his absence on the Satur- day, and he said that was the Jewish Sab- bath, and that Jews were forbidden to travel on that day. The Stipendiary said that was all nonsense j he did not think their religion went so far as that. That was a work of necessity, and work of that kind was allowed by all religions. Mr RHYS, also a magistrate, declared tliat the witness ought to obey the law of the country in which he resided, the Stipendiary winding up his admonition by expressing Ins belief that the Jewish religion would have excused him. With all deference to the Stipendiary and to Mr R. H. Rnva, we believe that the strict letter of the Jewisli law would not excuse him. The strict Jew of the present day is even more scrupulous on the subject of the Sabbath than were the Jews in MosES' time, when a Sabbath breaker was stoned for gathering sticks. Besides, in this land of religious liberty, the Stipendiary and his brother magistrates would far better have upheld the laws of this country had they respected the scruples of the Jew wit- ness. It is Mo< in accordance with modern English ideas to take a man to task because he tries to fulnl the dictates of his conscience in religious matters.
. GENERAL.
GENERAL. THE CHANNEL TUNNEL. THE alarmists are, as usual, very active in the propagation of their ideas respecting the dangers to Great Britain by making the new tunnel from Dover to Calais. It is pointed out that if an enemy obtained possession of the British end of the tunnel he could entrench himself and bring over any number of troops to invade this country. France is the only country which could do such a tiling, and it is not usual for civilized nations to act as brigands, and come like a thief in the night. There is a preliminary exchange of views, which would give this country time to swamp the tunnel, and make it impossible for even a water rat to swim through it The making of a couple of forts at the entrance to the tunnel on the British side would enectually guard us from any kind of sur- prise. Besides, it that whatever advantages the tunnel might give to France would also be secured by us. We could send troops through the tunnel and invade France supposing we were a nation of brigands, and intended to conquer France by a c01¿p-dc-main. It is, however, well to look at the disadvan- tages of the scheme, but there is no occasion for the. absurd representations which have appeared respecting it in the Times. The making of the Mont Cents tunnel has not added to the dangers of Italy, where it is not possible to inundate it with water as in the case of the one which is being made from Dover to Calais. THE PATENT LAWS. THERE is no piece of injustice enacted in this country in total defiance of the laws of pro- gress which can equal that of the Patent Laws. We boast of our intelligence, and rouse the country about the wrongs of some remote race witli which we have little or no concern, wliile we tax the genius of our in- ventors in such a way as almost to prohibit improvements in mechanical science. We declare in favour of free trade, and yet do not carry out free trade in genius. No man can patent a thing, however useful, unless lie can pay the preliminary nne of .6120. The Americans are declared to be an inven- tive race, and yet they are not more inventive than ourselves, but they allow their people to take out patents at about one-twentieth of the cost which is necessary in Great Britain. If a man could take out a patent for a nominal sum, like entering a book at Stationers' Hall, we should beneiit as much as the Americana by the inventive genius of our people. Mr ANDEBSON has done a useful thing by bringing this subject before the House of Commons in the shape of a Bill, which, however, in conseo nence of the state of business there, it will be impos- sible to pass this session. If a patent could be taken out for 5s, and a small percentage of prouts levied, say 1 per cent., a larger sum would accrue than by the present pro- cess. Sir HENRY BESSEMER cleared JB120,000 a year for 14 years by his patent, and 1 per cent. would have produced £16,800, and many other valuable patents would return nearly as much. We hope the reform of the Patent Laws will be carried out immediately there is a reasonable opportunity for doing so. THEATRICAL SPECULATIONS. IT has been truly said that a fortune can be more easily made and lost in connection with theatres and newspapers than almost any other class of speculation. Mr IpviNG is just about to purchase the freehold of the Lyceum Theatre at a coat of £120,000, the whole of which has been made in a, few years' successful lesseeship of that theatre. The late Mr BpAHAM lost £60,000 in a short time in the management of the St. James's Theatre, the well-earned rewards of a mar- vellous voice united to some genius in the composition of music. Mr BouciCAULT has made and lost several large fortunes in the course of his chequered career. Messrs JAMES and THORNE made, it is reputed, as much as j6120,000 during the nve years' run of "Our Boys," but have had nothing but misfortune since that piece ceased to draw. Mr BucKSTONE cleared £25,000 by "Our American Cousin," m connection with the engagement ef Mr SoTHERN, but the hat had to go round in his favour when he was on his death-bed. Such are the vicissitudes of theatrical management. In the last cen- tury, GARRicK retired to Hampton Court with a fortune of £200,000, while in the present century MACREADY sought the seclu- sion of Sherborne Park with a fortune esti- mated at not much less than that sum. When ELLisoN produced Black-eyed Susan," he found it to be a sort of El Dorado or mine of gold, and besides paying Mr T. P. CooKE JE120 per week, he banked J350,000, bought a house, and sent hia two sons out to India as cadets out of the proceeds, while DouGLAs JEBROLD received a paltry jCIO for writing the piece
. FOREIGN.
FOREIGN. RUSSIAN FINANCE. ALTHOUGH the national debt of Russia amounted at the beginning of 1880 to 489 millions, which seems small when compared with the 790 millions of Great Britain, it must be borne in mind that we have a much richer population to tax than Russia, and that we have no secret debt like that un- fortunate country. There has only been a, surplus in the national balance-sheet of Russia nve times in 66 years, and sometimes the deficit has amounted to a large sum. In 1848 it amounted to 10 millions; in 1854 to 20 millions in 1855 to 42 millions; and in 1856 to 43 millions. This makes the enor- mous sum of 115 millions in four years. It is well for a people who hold Russian stocks to know these tilings. A secret debt is a feature in nnance which is dangerous to the welfare of any country. At any moment the whole scheme of Russian nuance may be laid bare, and the hollowness of all Russian securities exposed. All this rottenness has come about through the huge military expenditure of the State. General IcNATlEFF has wisely resolved to reduce the expenditure to the large extent of from 150 to 200 million roubles, and if that be not another scheme to throw dust in the eyes of foreign bondholders, it will be some guarantee that the "bloated arma- ments" of Russia have been condemned, and that the internal condition of the country will at last have some chance of being de- veloped. It is evident that the present state of things cannot last, and that sooner or later the long-promised reform must take place, or the whole empire will fall to pieces. FRENCH EXPORTS. Ir has been thought that during the last few years France withstood the pressure of declining trade better than any other country, but from the returns just isaued such does not appear to be the case. The value of silks exported declined from £17,512,000 in 1872 to :B10,516,000 in 1878 cotton manu- factures declined in the same period from .62,758,000 to £2,260,000; while woollen manufactures fell oif from £4,088,000 to JB5,588,000; there was thus a loss of :C8,194,000 in those three articles in six y(;tr.'3. Notwithstanding this to French commerce, for wliicli we can qlÙY express regret, We c&nuot allow French t.a,tesmeu to recoup their losses at the expense of thit country. We must insist upon oat goods nnding an entry to France upon the easist terms possible. The heavy taxation of European States makes it impera- tive that statesmen should obtain the best terms for those whom they represent; but if there is any attempt at overreaching, it M bcLtjr for each nation to proceed on its own lines, and not be tied down by commercial treaties. Our coal, iron, and shipping wi!i always given us a certain advantage, and if agriculture can be stimulated by improved appliances, and some of the burdens taken o9 the tenant, we have no doubt that that impor- tant industry will also be able to hold its own against foreign competition. If we had given the same attention to the rearing of cattle and sheep as we have to horses, we should have been at the head of all nations in that respect. As for crops, we are at the mercy of the climate, and no legislation can altet that. PHOTOGRAPHY AND FORGERY. THE French police are exhibiting great ingenuity in the detection of forgery by means of photography. There is a depart- ment in connexion with the Paris Prefecture where artists are employed to take copies of suspected documents on a giant scale, so that every peculiarity of the forger's handwriting is brought out in an enlarged form, and every characteristic is pourtrayed in a colossal manner. We have hitherto employed experta like M. CHABOT and Mr NETHERCHFT to detect crime in connexion with forgery, but it is well known that they have blundered in many instances, and it is probable that good men have been punished. The Paris plan has every advantage over our system. What is hardly apparent to the naked eye is exhi- bited by the enlarged process so as to put the question almost beyond doubt. Another lesson may be learned from the French in connection with photography. When a contractor applies for his money he has to produce a photograph of the building up to date, so that those who are responsible for the structure may be satisned that the representations of the contractor as to the actual amount of work done are accurate in every respect. Thus the discoveries of science are made useful in a manner which M. DAGUERRE and Mr TALBOT probably never dreamt of. In large contracts the benent of the French method will at once strike every person, while the process of taking enlarged copies of alleged forged do- cuments for the purpose of comparing them with the handwriting of suspected forgera will require no amount of illustration in order to convince the impartial.
----EXPERIMENTAL AGRICULTURE.
EXPERIMENTAL AGRICULTURE. IN a recent issue we referred to tlie Fifth Annual Report of the Proceedings of the Aberdeenshire Agricultural Association, lately published, and promised to make further observations upon it. We now re- turn to the subject. The importance of knowing the precise composition of the soil, and especially of manures put Into land In. which turnips are to be reared, is one of the results of Mr jAMiESON's experiments. We are informed that that chemise haa certainly extracted from dinerent ex- periments with regard to tumipa some most important results. Among othera he has confirmed the opinion that fungua —which produces nnger-and-toe disease— can cause disease in healthy plants. This will naturally suggest, then, the necessity of removing the diseased plants, if possible, so as to give those that are healthy a chance of escape. But of much more consequence is the discovery that sulphur supplied in disolved manures either predisposes healthy plants to the fungoid attacks, or, at all events, aggravates the attacks after they have come on. The account which Mr JAMIESOX givea of his researches on this subject arc ot the utmost value to farmers. On tlie 28th page of the Report he enters into a somewhat minute description of the nuger-and-too disease among turnips. It cannot fail to be a great boon to farmera if tills fatal disease can be successfully grappled with. It is so far gratifying, then, to learn, on the authority of an expert lika Mr JAMIENON, that not only may a satisfac. tory explanation of the disease be given, but that lie is in a position to suggest a remedy. He maintains indeed that what is called tha "nnger-and-toe'' disease is not, strictly speaking, a, disease at all, but ia only the harking back" of the plant to its original or uncultivated form. Every one knows that the nnely formed bulb of a bell-shaped turnip is not natural, is not original, but only the result of cultivation. Domestication and cultiva- tion have a wonderful innuence upon plants and animals in tlie way of developing them, and when these innuences are withdrawn nature re-asserta her claim, and drags the creature back to its first estate. DARWIN haa shown this very clearly with respect to dinerent varieties of pigeons and othet familiar animals, and we may add that hia reseauehes go far to show how much even the knowledge necessary for a farmer de- pends upon the discoveries of science. The aim of the agriculturist ought, therefore, to be to keep his roots, and in fact, all hia crops from reverting to the original state, and becoming mere weeds. The diseased turnip so-called is often in reality only a plant which, owing to some innuence which haa prevented it from absorbing sumcient nourishment, or checked its development, has fallen back towards the condition of a weed. The farmer has a double task to engage his attention. He haa, on the one hand, to make use of the forces of nature with a view to bring on his crops, while, on the other hand, he has to war against nature, which tends to carry the fruits of his industry back to their primitive forms, and to rob him of his profits. Everything admits of improve- ment. It is ridiculous to argue that nature, left to herself, will perfect her own work. Nature unassisted, or without the direction of reason, brings everything on in a wild state. It ia man's duty to reacue the children of nature from the savage tutorage of their parent, and to place them, so to speak, at school, ajid thus educate or develope them into forms of much greater loveliness, and much greater value than they could possibly have become if left entirely to the care o< nature. All this, however, only serves to prova what we insisted upon in a.previous article, th< necessity of looking to science and discovery more than has yet been done for improve- ment in husbandry, and for m&king agricul- ture keep pace with manufactures and all other industries. The farmer seems to over< lock the fact that there aje pent-up energiet which even he may yet turn to good account, so as to make fanning not only pay, but become a source of immense wealth. The tendency of our times is to apeak somewhat despairingly of the future of farming, but we may be in error in doing ao. We are inclined to think that farming ia still in the state of infancy. It has not yet had fair play. What the ancients did is done yet, and, of course, with precisely the same results. What haft wrought miracles in all other industries? Nothing but enterprise goaded on by neces- sity. When farming ceases altogether to p&y, necessity will prove herself to be, as heretofore, the mother of invention. We have gone a little way towards proving what the agriculturist may expect when science begins to shed its bright and search- ing light upon his toil and its results. Fat we cannot very well go, for the simple reason that the path has not yet been much trodden upon. In fact, it can scarcely be said to have been made. We have limited our remarks mainly to experiments tried upon the turnip, but even this useful root may have more said about it. Strictly speaking, the turnip is not a root, but a bulb developed by cultivation upon the root. A neglected or feeble turnip is lacking in thit bulb. It goes all away into root again, or into mere" finger-and-toes." But even the bulb is not always the same. Some methods of treatment tend to convert it into water, while others make it more solid. The value of two turnips equal in size may, therefore, diSer consider- ably. Few things arc more deceptive than tunuL'a). Though they may be grown
