In the course of discussion on Clause 6, which relates to the making of rules for carry- ing the Act into effect, Mr Picton moved an amendment providing "That no rule for the obtaining and choosing of assessors shsll ICCJUITG as a condition of any assessor's appointment that he shall be a member of any particular churcn or religious denomination." ihe amendment was opposed by the Attorney-General, and supported by Mr Waddy, Mr J.

VIEWS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS.
VIEWS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS. The Times saya :—A prominent member of the front Opposition bench is reported to have de- scribed the conduct of Mr Lloyd-George and his associates on Monday as "the most contemptible and shameless exhibition of obstruction" he bad ever seen, and to have added that "the Irish obstruction, even in its worst days, was never equal to it." Meanwhile the irr. concilables are encouraged to continue their resistance to the passage of the Bill by the following telegram re- ceived on Monday night from a meeting of the South Walei Federation "Four hundred delegates Liberal Federation meeting send warmest congratulations to four Welsh members and Philipps for splendid stand on Discipline Bill." Mr L!oyd George, on Monday night, handed in another batch of amendments. The London Daily News says :—The Bill is a very simple one, and provides a more expeditious process than now exists for removing from their benefices Criminal or immoral clergymen. Mr Gladstone, as a Churchman rather than as a politician, takes a warm interest in the measure, and sat yesterday for five hours to assist the Government in passing it. He protested strongly, as ho has protested before, against the obstructive procedure of three members—one from Scotland and two from Wales. The Scottish people have no conceivable interest in the Bill. The Welsh, as a nation of Nonconformists, might be expected to regard it with indifference. Mr Samuel Evans and Mr Lloyd George are both men of great Parliamentary capacity. It seems a. pity that they should waste their talents and energios by proposing minute amendments and making dilatory motions which cannot possibly be carried, and havo absolutely no general interest or importance. Such tactics will do more to hinder than to further the case for Disestablishment, if they have any effect upon it at all. But for Liberals to take this opportunity of thwarting and resisting Mr Gladstone is surely suicidal. The whple of Mr Gladstone's unrivalled authority and influence with the cows try will be required to ensure the triumph of Liberal principles at the forthcoming elections. The proceedings of the Standing Committee will soon be forgotten. But at this particular moment they are being cited by the enemies of the Liberal party to prove that Mr Gladstone's power over hill followersisonthedecline. The inference is absurd enough. Thefacts from which it is drawn willgive pain to thousands of Liberals quite as staunch as Mr Evans or Mr George, who care no more for the Clergy Discipline Bill than for the gravamina of Convocation.
THE REPRESENTATION OF BRECONSHIRE.
THE REPRESENTATION OF BRECONSHIRE. On Monday evening Mr T. Wood, of Gwerny- fed Park (the Conservative candidate for Brecon- shire), attended a public meeting at the Brecon Board Schools, Llanfaes, and delivered an ad- dress. The chair was taken by Col. John Morgan (Mayor of Brecon), and there were present on the platform Mr T. Wood, the Hon. Mrs Wood, Rev Rees Price (vicar of St. David's), and Mr Rees Williams, Llyswen House, Brecon. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the meeting, alluded to the fact that Mr Wood s grandfather repre- sented the county of Brecon for 40 years in Par- liament, and was instrumental in removing the duty off salt. He asked them to use their utmost endeavours in returning Mr Wood at the forth- coming election. (Cheers.) Mr WOOD, who was received with cheers, said ho was there that night because he was told that Llanfaes was a very important part of the good old borough of Brecon. He had also been told there were to be found there a few Tones- (laughter)- and even if there should also be a few Liberals he thought it was right and proper that before the general election the electors of Llan- faes should have an opportunity of hearing the candidate who sought their suffrages trying to explain—however humbly—his views. (Hear, hear.) They stood, as they knew, on the verge of a general election, and the Government which they entrusted with power in 1886 was nearly completing its term of office. The dissolution might come in July or October, but he believed it would be in July. Politicians, like other men, must be judged by their fruit, and the Conserva- tive party could appeal with confid- ence to the course of legislation undertaken by them during the past five years. Speaking on the Irish question, Mr Wood argued that Mr Balfour had brought happiness, content- ment, prosperity, and freedom to a land which had hitherto been dominated by factions. A resolution supporting the policy of Lord Salisbury's Government was passed, on the motion of Mr T. Butcher, seconded by Mr John Williams.—A vote of thanks having been ac- corded to the chairman, the meeting closed with cheers for Mr Wood, the chairman, and others.
TORIES AND THE BALLOT.
TORIES AND THE BALLOT. ExtraordinaryTactics in South Glamorgan The aversion of the Conservatives to the Ballot Act is notorious, and since the passage of that great measure of reform by Mr Gladstone, every device that a perverted ingenuity can conceive has been utilised to anticipate the secrets of the ballot-box. Happily, these devices havo for the most part ignominiously failed. One of the most barefaced attempts to violate the secrecy of the ballot is that to which the South Glamorgan Con- servative Association have committed themselves. Mr D. Lloyd Lougher has sutely permitted his zeal to outrun his discretion in issuing such a circular as the following:— South Glamorgan Conservative Association. 21, Castle Arcade Chambers, Cardiff, May 12th, 1892. Dear Sir,—Acting for the above Association, and in furtherance of the candidature of Sir Morgan Morgan, who is the unanimous choice of the Conservatives and Liberal Unionists of this division, I respectfully beg to solicit your vote and interest on his behalf at the next general election, and to request you to be good enough to let me know at your earliest convenience on the enclosed form of reply whether we may count upon your kind assistance. "In making this request, neither the Associa- tion nor I have the slightest desire to infringe the secrecy of the ballot, but it would materially assist us if we could ascertain beforehand the approximate amount of support which the present Government and ourselves are jikely to receive from those whom it may not be possible to call upon personally when the contest is actually in progress.—Faithfully yours, D. LLOYD LOUGHEB, Organising Agent. What does Sir Morgan Morgan think of this ? We pause for a reply.
ALLEGED PERJURY AT CARDIFF
ALLEGED PERJURY AT CARDIFF A young man named Edward Scott was charged on remand—before the Stipendiary (Mr T. W. Lewis) and Dr Paine-at the Cardiff police-court on Monday, with having committed wilful and corrupt perjury in the evidence he gave upon the hearing of the case in which Mary Thomas, was the complainant, and Mary W. Morisco, the defendant, dealt with on Friday last.—Acting-Sergeant Lewis gave evidence that ho was present on the occasion in question, and heard the evidence given by the prisoner. The latter, in reply to the stipendiary, said he had no solicitor to defend him.-Actmg- Sergeant Lewis deposed to the whole of the evidence given by the prisoner, who merely pointed out one correction, which the witness admitted the prisoner had made when under cross examination. — Annie Prescott nsxt gave evidence. The prisoner had stated in his evidence that he was standing in Cecil-street on the opposite pavement when Mr Morisco knocked at the door of a cer- tain house occupied by Miss Thomas, and that he hend some one say, Who's there?" Annie Prescott, in her evidence, said that at tho time Mr Morisco knocked at the door of this house the prisoner and Mrs Morisco were watching him through the window of twitness's house opposite, and that seeing Mr Morisco enter the house across tho way, both Mrs Morisco and the pri- soner ran out of the room. In reply to the prisoner, witness said she watched him go to the doorway. Mr Morisco had entered and then come back to Mrs Morisco. Witness said that from her room window it was impossible to see anyone cc upstairs in Mrs Thomas's Mary Williams said that on April the 8th Mrs Prescott and the prisoner came to her house. She went on to say that she was certain the prisoner was not standing on the pavement when Mr Morisco entered Miss Thomas's house. At this juncture the Stipendiary, addressing tha prisoner, said it was quite clear to the bench that on the hearing of the information on Friday he had deliberately and corruptly sworn to that which was untrue, but that was not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the law in respect of perjury. The false oath must have reference to some matter material to the issue, and it appeared to them that the particular matter he swore to was not than material to the issue. He would point cut, however, that the I prisoner only escaped on a mere technicality, and that he had had a very narrow escape. Had he been committed for trial he would have rendered himself liable to a penalty of seven years' penal servitude. Prisoner was then discharged.

= ALLEGED BURGLARY IN THE RHONDDA. At Ystrad police-court on Monday, two tramps, named David Hughes and Thomas Davies, were brought up in custody charged with having burglariously entered the dwelling- house of John Jenkins, at Rees-streot, Treorky. Prosecutor deposed that when he got out of bed on Sunday morning he found the back door open and the upper sash of the kitchen window raised. A coat, a hat, a basket, and a quantity of food were missing, while a pair of boots and a handker- chief belonging to a lodger had also disappeared. P.S. W. Brown, Treorky, said that having re- ceived information of the burglary, three con- stables and himself searched the district, and found the prisoners asleep in a field under a hay- rick. Several of the stolen articles were found I upon them, and the remainder in the prisoners were committed for trial at the Assizes.

LLANERCH EXPLOSION TRUST FUND.
LLANERCH EXPLOSION TRUST FUND. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the above fund was held at Newport Town Hall on Wednesday, Mr M. Mordey, J.P., one of the trustees, presiding. There was a good attend- ance, including Messrs J. Daniel, D. Jones, C. D. Phillips, W. P. James, W. Lewis, D. S. Davis, Louis Tylor, G. L. Campbell, R. W. Ken- nard, &c.—The Chairman, in announcing tha business, said it would be in the memory of gentlemen present that at the last executive meeting the draft of a trust deed was submitted. It was then thought advisable that Mr Colborne, solicitor, should go through the draft again and make certain alterations in conjunction with Mr Simons, the solicitor to the Miners' Provident Fund. The trustees had met representatives from the Miners' Permanent Fund, and discussed one or two points, which they ultimately agreed to. Mr Colborne then gave a, resume of the alterations made in the trust deed, the first of which was caused in the trustees by the death of Mr Worton and the appointraent of Mr R. W. Kennard, Abcrgavenny, in his stead. Mr T. Goldsworthy also took the place of Mr David Williams, who retired. The total amount received, including interest, was £29,771 7s 4d. and the expenditure, with money handed to the Permanent Fund and the sum handed to the Abersychan Com- mittee for immediate wants, to £5,5Có 4s Id. 24,OOO had been invested in Newport Corpora- tion Bonds at 3% per cent. The principal altera- tion in the deed was as to limiting the power of the executive committee in the payment of moneys to the widows and orphans, and Mr Campbell objected to this, and said that in all other similar cases the committee had discretion to increase the allowance whenever an excep- tional case arose.—Mr Tylor suggested that the words not exceeding should be inserted, so to make the clause elastic.—The Chair- man said that the clause was rendered stringent at the suggestion of Mr Simons. He did not agree with it, and he did not think it could be legally assented to. The principal meeting agreed to the clause that such extra allowance should be granted by the Management Committee as they in their discretion might think proper, and he did not think they had any right to alter that. (Hear, hear.) The trustees never attempted to alter that, and he regarded it simply as a suggestion of Mr Simons.—Mr Tylor moved that the clause limiting the amount absolutely be erased, and Mr Campbell seconded the motion. — The trust deed, as amended, was afterwards agreed to.—The Chairman afterwards made a statement as to the fund, and said that widows would receive 7s per week; with a. child, 9s 3d two, 113 6d three, 13s 9d four, 16s five, 13s 3d and six, 20s 6d. The Permanent Miners' Fund scale allowed widows 5s per week, and children 2s 6d, and in accordance with the Lianerch scheme, the Per- manent Fund was paid half the amount they distributed, and it was also augmented so as to brine: the total allowance up to the above scale. Mr F. A. Smith, secretary, was granted an allow- ance of S40 per annum. The statistics showed that there were originally 259 persons on the fund, but that of these 35 had died or been dis- qualified, leaving 224. Of these 61 were widows, and the remainder orphans and dependents.
CARDIFF'S TEMPORARY HOSPITAL.
CARDIFF'S TEMPORARY HOSPITAL. Outbuildings Wanted. A meeting; of the Cardiff Health andtPort Sani. tary Authority was held on Tuesday at the Town- hall. Aid. Jacobs presided, and the other mem- bers present were the Mayor (Aid. T. Rees), and Councillors Andrews, Brain, M. Morgan, Owen, Hughes, James, and Munn.—The subject of the temporary sanitorium came up for consideration. —The Chairman mentioned that the building would be ready for occupation in the second week of June but in consequence of the inability of the Corporation to obtain permission to build the structure in connection with the old hospital at the Docks, it was found necessary to put up the temporary building near the pro- posed permanent institution. In consequence of this change of site, considerable outlay had been incurred in raising the foundations above tide level,and the provision of certain outbuildings hadbecomo necessary, involving an additional ex- penditure of between £300 and £400. What was required were a laundry, washhousa, coal stores, disinfectant-room, and a mortuary.— The Mayor: How is it these things did not occur to us in the fiist instance ?—The Chairman Because we did not reckon on that site as the site of the temporary hospital.—The Mayor Have yon thes*. adjuncts in the case of the permanent hospital ?—The Chairman Yes, but the medical officer will tell you it is undesirable that a common laundry should be used, whereby small-pox may be carried mto the fever hospital. In subsequent discussion, it was pointed out that the Local Government Board refused to sanction a small-pox ward to be included in the plans for the permanent Sani- torium, the omission of which ward reduced the cost of the building by £2,000. In thv uiean- time the necessity was shown of providing an institution of a temporary nature to receive infectious cases while the fever hospital, or sanitorium, was being erected and so that this temporary building might hereafter be utilised as a permanent ward for the isolated treatment of small-pox, the chapman and medical officer of health (Dr Walford) asked the committee to authorise the suggested outbuildings. While the sanitorium is being put up — and it" is expected that a period of two years will thus be occupied—the temporary hospital will be used only for the reception of infectious diseases, and not of small-pox case3, which will be treated at the Docks hospital as heretofore.—On the motion of Councillor Brain, who objected to the new small-pox ward being called a. temporary" hospital, seeing that it would last a score of years at least, it was agreed to proceed with the outbuildings indicated, Coun- cillor Andrews seconding the proposition.
THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.
THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. Tuesday (says a Windsor correspondent) being the 73rd anniversary of the Queen's birthday, the event was celebrated in the Royal borough with th«, customary honours. The bells ati St. George s Chapel, Windsor Castle, and St. Johns Church were rung, and salutes were fired in the Long Walk and at Fort Belvedere. Many of the houses were gaily decorated with bunting, and in the evening the Royal tradesmen, presided over by the Mayor, dined together to celebrate the event. ■

AFFAIRS OF A CARDIFF SHIP.…
AFFAIRS OF A CARDIFF SHIP. OWNER. At Newport Town-hall on Tuesday, before the Registrar (Mr H. J. Davis), Carl Hermann Wilhelm Grasdorff, steam ship owner, broker, and coal exporter, carrying on busi- ness at Bute Docks, Cardiff, and Dock- street, Newport, appeared to undergo his adjourned public examination.—Mr G. Il. Llewellyn (Official Receiver) stated that tho examination had been adjourned to enable the bankrupt to file statements of his transactions with his different bankers, and to account for a deficiency of several thousand pounds. The order had been partially complied with bankrupt explained that he did not receive the pass-book from the Middlesex Banking Company until the previous day.—Mr Hornby, who appeared for the principal creditors, accepted the statements, and proceeded to cross-examine bankrupt upon his dealings with Trenniger and Co., financial agents, London, and others. The bankrupt said he did not know why several accounts of transactions with Trenniger and Co. were missing. His ledger showed a balance in his favour with Trenniger and Co. of £3,200. Trenniger's account, however, showed an overdraft, and bankrupt admitted that there was a difference between his ledger and Trenniger's correct account of nearly £5,000. Questioned as to his transactions with the Middlesex Banking Company, Limited, bank- rupt said that he bad not seen his pass book, and only knew how he stood from information from Varty and Co., who really constituted the Middlesex Bank. He did not know why Varty and Co. dishonoured his cheques, but all cheques dishonoured were dishonoured within the few days prior to his illness and the filing of the petition. Bankrupt's ledger showed that Varty and Co. held a balance in his favour of £1,000, whilst the pass book showed an adverse balance of J6910. Examined as to the deficiency account, the bankrupt stated that £1,562 bad been included in the total of £2,400, particulars of which he had formerly filed. As to the profits from the management of the 8.3. Pensher, he had received nothing, and there was from £350 to £4-00 due to him. He had lost £430 in connection with the Economic Fuel Co., Ltd., of London, but the company vras wound up in two years, and that was the reason why he did not include it 111 his liabilities. The cost of the Cardiff offices amounted to £900 per annum, but he did not consider this an exor- bitant amount when it was remembered that managing clerks in other similar offices got £300 to JMOO a year. Bankrupt had not taken into account the £2,000 he had when he went to Car- diff, but he had not stated that e had £2,000. He had £1,890 worth of shares in the Werfa at the time, but he was not aware what his liabilities then were. He had not taken iuto account those shares when filing the deficiency statement.—Mr Hornby Then there would still be a deficiency of £2,900 unex- plained?—Bankrupt: Yes, if I had it at the time, but I had not then taken into account my liabilities.—In answer to Mr Digby Powell, solicitor for the bankrupt, the latter stated that in his statement he had accounted for every penny of the deficiency, with the exception of £738, which he set down as having been given to needy relations and oharitable purposes. The examination was afterwards closed.
A SINGULAR CASE AT CARDIFF
A SINGULAR CASE AT CARDIFF At the Cardiff police-court on Tuesday— before the Stipendiary, Mr T. W. Lewis—an elderly man of respectable appearance, named Samuel Eldicott, was charged on bail with stealing 50 bricks, value 4s, the property of T. Gough, buildsr, from Newman- street, on the 16th hat. — Mr Gough gave evidence that on the 16th mst., from information received, he went to Newman-street and counted a number of bricks, finding there were fifty miss- ing. Acting on the same information he then went to the prisoner's house, and found 50 bricks similar to those missing, piled up in a cowshed at the back of the premises. In reply to the prisoner, witness said he had never missed the bricks until he had counted them on receipt of the information that some of them had been stolen. They were part of a consignment of 1,500 which had come by rail, not a single one of which had up to that time been used on the buildings.—Sophia Short, a servant in the employ of the prisoner, said she had been in his employ for the last ten months and that on the 16th instant she went for a drive with him in a cart. It was about half-past nine at night. They drove to Newman-street, near Roath Park, to the rear of the new buildings in question, and here he got out of the cart and took a number of bricks from a pile that were laying there. She then left him to go to her own home, and afterwards gave information to the pohce. In reply to the pri- soner, who appeared to be so ill that he bad to be accommodated with a chair in the dock. witness admitted having "fallen out" with the prisoner's daughter, and also admitted that be had been under medical attendance for some time. She was quite sure that he took her for a drive on the 16th, and it wasn't true that she had on that day had a drop too much.—Police-constable Davies stated that he arrested the prisoner at bis house, 27, Richards-terrace, and that in reply to the charge he said, I have nothing to say until I get before the magistrates." The prisoner was unable to walk,and v/as brought to the police- station in a cab. The prisoner now pleaded not guilty, but afterwards said he would leave it in the Stipendiary's hands to be tried at once, and called as his witness Annie Slattery. The latter, how- ever, made no appearance, though the prisoner's daughter appeared to give evidence on behalf of her father, say in c that Slattery's mistress was ill and couldn't come.—The Stipendiary But she must come to give her evidence.—The prisoner said he wished her to be called to prove tha.t he was ill at the time, and the case was adjourned. Later on the witness Slattery attended the court, and in repiy to the prisoner she stated that on the 16th inst., the day on which it was alleged he had stolen the bricks, the prisoner was ill in bed. At a quarter-past nine at night the prisoner was in bed with several poultices on him. The pony was also in th3 stable when she left the house that evening. Inspector Heyward said there nothing against the prisoner previously. The Stipendiary said he was quite satisfied that the prisoner was guilty of the offence with which he was charged, "but taking into consideration that he had hitherto borne a good character, and that his state of health was such as to make him wholly unfit to undergo penal discipline, he would bn bound over in £10 to come up for judgment when called upon, which meant that if he was brought thero again he would probably get three months im- prisonment with bard labour for his offence.
--LONDON COLLEGE OF MUSIC.
LONDON COLLEGE OF MUSIC. Cardiff Centre. On Monday, in the Town-hall, Cardiff, Sir Morgan Morgan distributed the certificates gained at the recent examination by pupils of the re- spective teachers in Cardiff and neighbourhood in connection with the London College of Music. There were 105 pupils examined, a.nd of these 80 gained certificates Sir MORGAN MOKGAN said it gave him very much pleasure to be present to distribute the prizes which, he believed, had been gained after very keen competition. The College of Music had been established not only as a means of providing a good musical education but as an examining body for young students. It extended even as far as our colonies, and had centres in Wales, Scotland, England, and Ireland. In the past it had done very useful work, and had increased marvellously, especially within the last two years. In 1838 there were on tho books of the college 378 students more than in 1887 in 1889 there were 826; in 1890, 1,091; in 1891, 1,691; and in 1892, 8,000. In Cardiff there was a very large centre, it being tha ahief centre of work; and much of the credit for the great progress made there in mnsical matters, in recent years, was due to this college. He thought he had said enough to show that the work in which Mr Atkins had taken a very active part had prospered in the past, and that they might expect still greater progress in the future. The certificates having been presented cordial voue of thanks was passed to Sir Morgan Morgan.
A MODERN BULL-FIGHT.
A MODERN BULL-FIGHT. ^-t the close of the performance at the recent bull fight at Palermo, the Syndic having per- mitted the spectacle, many a bloody scene ensued, horses were disembowelled, and the bull itself was only killed after two attempts. Tlie indignation of the public led to the permission for carrying on the spwetaele in all its Spanish horror being withdrawn. At the second corrida, although it was only a mock bull fight and no blood was drawn, not a single lady was present the disapprobation of the fair sex being thus plainly shown.
" THE LADIES' FRIEND."
THE LADIES' FRIEND." Hundreds of ladies who have been unable to attend to their duties owing to periodical sick- nesses, have found Warner's "SAFE" Cure the real friend in need. Being a purely vegetable compound, and containing all the elements of safety as well as power, it has become universally popular. During the winter and spring especially, it is a certain preventatIve agamst the iiumevong kidney and liver disorders which are incident to these seasons. "10, Park-road, Southboro', near Ttmbridge Wells, February, 1891.—It is with much pleasure that I write to inform you of the immense good your medicine has done me, when all previous doctoring had failed in relieving me. It was in July last when I wrote to you, and my case wa.s diagnose as Female Weakness. As I stated at that time, to be freed from the sinking feeling to which I was subject would indeed be a pleasure as life was a burden to me.' My strength seemed to have gone, and I suffered from flushes of heat and shortness of breath. After taking four bottles of Warner's SAFJC CUKE I am happy to say I feel quite fit for my domestie duty although it seemed I could not live very long unless something was done for me. The heat flushes have entirely left me, my breathing is normal, and, altogether, I have regained my former health and strength, and can con- scientiously say that I owe my present condition to Warner's SAFK Cure. I shall certainly make known my experience with your Medicine to ladies who may be suffering m a similar manner, as I consider it the Ladies' Friend. (Miss)S. E. SPILLER." LEIGH, July 7th, 1888.—Eight months ago my dear wife was prostrated with severe pains in her back. Nothing seemed to do her any good till I bought a bottle of Warner's "SAFE" CUBE, and I am very thankful to say that after taking a few bottles she has entirely recovered. JOHN TILDSLKT,
BY A LADY JOURNALIST.
BY A LADY JOURNALIST. A Cool Dress for Warmer Days Is really becoming quite necessary, in spite of the fact that we hardly dare to put away all our furs. I think this year those good people who rigidly adhere to a certain day on which (to leave off fires and warm clothes will have been rather sorry for themselves," for rarely have we had so capricious a season and many who on principle were wearing thin attire must have been very little short of downright miserable. Though we are promised a very wet month for June, I suppose we are sure to have some warm days, and for these we must prepare light dresses. This pretty little costume may be made in any of the various thin printed woollen textures (the original of this was a pale green Pompadour, with a sprinkling of pink flowrets over it. But you could have any other similarly figured material, and make it up in this most simple style, The collar and sash are of black satin, silk, or velvet, and the ends of the latter are graduated in their width to the hem of the skirt I am sure you cannot fail to like the manner in which the lace is draped across both the back and the front of the bodice. It should be cream lace, or, at any rate, not quite white, as it gives it a richer look. I may remind you that with any of these flowered dresses, not with a green ground, such as white printed over with posies of violets, or any other blossoms on a very pale-tinted ground, for example, cream salmon, pink, or lightest fawn, sash and collar, as well as the lowest part of the sleeves, look extremely effective in moss green velvet, silk, or satin. I commend this little frock to you as a thoroughly useful model. It is, I think, getting to be quite a long time since I gave you A New Tea-Gown. The original of this was, I confess, made in rich and beautiful materials, but I am going to show you how easily you may reproduce it at quite a fling cost, and with very nearly quite as good an effect. And now, at the risk of appearing monotonous, I am obliged to revert to lacs, for everything is in& Ide of or trimmed with it, and the imitations are really more worn than the real points, which few of us possess in any large quantity. Suppose you get one of the pretty printed woollen fabrics tha.t I have mentioned above wherewith to make the sides, you will see that a very small quantity is wanted, as they are little more than straight pieces, slightly shaped into the figure at the sides. The front is of pale coral pink, for which a thin alpaca, or even sateen, is good enough, as it has to be shrouded from neck to feet iu cream lace. The sleeves are made in puffs of the same pink, and veiled with lace, a frill of which finishes each and hangs deeper at the back of the elbow. The principal feature is the curious kind of Swiss belt made of black silk in front that holds the full under-dress in to the waist, and is composed of black ribbon caught up to a rosette at the back of the neck ruffles. Just from underneath this pretty arrangement issues the folds of the Watteau back, which, like the front, is of cream lace (by the piece) over the pink sa.teen. A jabote frill completes the ruffles at the neck, and, I think you will agree with me, a very pretty and inexpensive tea gown. A Dainty Lampshade is a thing that those housewives who like to see their dinner and drawing-room tables pretty are always on the look-out for. Here is one which I think you will acknowledge is novel, and I hope pretty. It can bo easily made at home, for it only consists of little penny-a-yard ribbons in three different colours. At the end of each it sewn a round bead or button, which jusfc u a heavy enough little weignt to keep it down straight. Bows of the mixed riobons are sewn round at the upper and lower edges as o. kind of trimming. Of course, everything depends on the taste displayed in the choice of colours. They should be chosen carefully, and not of very dark tints, out only of those through which the light of a lamp shines easily, and with good effect. So far for my illhstrations. Now, I want to tell you of An Unshrinkable Fabric, Of which I have received some most faseinating patterne. (I like patterns, don't you ? They are go nice to look through and examine, and ona conjures up in one's "poor weak, womanly mind such endless possibilities of how they would appear made up.) You were so kind as to be much pleased by what I said of the Irish friezes some little while ago for winter wear, will you equally trust my taste and recommendation of these pretty Scotch winceys? I am delighted with them for summer wear. They just fill up a gap between such thin stuffs as grenadines, veil- ings, and those still softer crepous and bareges— and flannel. At lawn tennis parties and river picnics I have often pitied the young men and maidens who look (but do not seem to feel) so cool in their white flannels, which, except for their colours, are often as wintry and thick as our cold weather serges. Now this is exactly what the winoeys I am writing to you about are not-they are woolly enough for you to be unable to catch cold in them, and theyare thin, enough to be no weight or heat to you. The width of them varies from thirty to thirty-two inches, and their prices from one shilling and eightpence a yard to half-a-crown. The makers, whose names I will tell you if you write for them, will send you a parcel, post free, if you get as much as a pound's worth of the material. I can imagine nothing nicer for children's wear, nor, indeed, any "grown ups," than these winceys. I have before me various shades-a grey, a greyish blue, a salmon-pink, a sky-blue, and two shades of red, a deep ruby, and a cardinal. There is also an invisible green, but best. and most beauti- ful of all, is the white, which, like the rest, drapes in soft, picturesque folds, but has lovely cream reflections therein. This, I am assured, does not change—nor yellow—in washing. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." Will you try it 1 The Use and Abuse of Disinfectants Is a subject on which I am led to write to you after tho recent letter of a correspondent whose house had been visited by that most terrible scourge—scarlet fever. In talking of illness, especially infectious illness, one thinks much of disinfectants, and it is very curious what a blind faith most people have in disinfectants, and still more remarkable the reckless and promiscuous way m which they employ them. I write often on these matters, therefore please forgive me if I seem to repeat myself. A bad smell arises perhaps not exactly in a part of the house where any of the usnal sanitary arrangements are located. It may be outside in a back yard or court where the children play. Usually disin- fectants are at once thrown down, and the odour exchanged, or rather overpowered, by the rank scents of carbolic acid or of the still more sickening chloride of lime. The rain comes, and neutralises if it does not wash away the antidote, and the smell rises up in triumph after its temporary envelopment. I say "envelopment" advisedly, for th -1 bad odour was there all the time, though the disinfectant out- scented it and covered it up. I wish as I have said elsewhere in my little book on The Art of Washing" that I could impress upon people generally the fatal fallacy of covering up mischief, and the fact that this of many evils is not cured (and indeed is any other ?) by being ignored. On the contrary, do not be surprised if sore throats, headaches, and other premonitory syroptons of blood poisoning, whether repre-sented hereafter by typhoid fever, diphtheria, diarrhoea, cholera or dysentery appear in the household in spite of your deodo- risers. Make use of the nose that nature h;1s bestowed upon you in more or less developed pro- portions, and like a good honnd take up this scent till you run your offensive quarry to earth, and having once found it, never rest till it is got rid of. No matter m what form it may present itself, whether as a mass of putrifying vegetables or animal matter, which, instead'ef burning, some careless person has thrown to rot in some rarely, cleared dust bin, or the pipe of a sink hopelessly blocked with grease, tea leaves, &c.,Ior a stoppage or leakage in your drain-pipes, hunt it down, and be assured that the cost of its removal or remedy will never be so great as the bill you will have to pay the doctor, chemist, and possibly the under- taker. This is the result of allowing yourself to be lulled into a sense of false security by a lavish distribution of disinfectants. A Usefui Present. For those young people whose birthdays fall in the tennis season, there is no more handy gift than a bag to hold racket, shoes, and balls if necessary (as some players prefer their own balls). The inner foundation of such bafts should be of some exceedingly strong material, such as tick- ing, or American cloth, and then the ornamental outside material over, and'a'brown holland lining inside it. The outside I leave to the taste of my readers, as there are so many varieties of suitable fancy work. BUSY BEE. Rules for Correspondence.

AN ARCHDEACON ON THE CHURCH…
AN ARCHDEACON ON THE CHURCH IN WALES. A Remarkable Proposal. Archdeacon Sinclair has contributed to the jReview of the Churches a remarkable article on the present position of the Establishment in Wales —There is no use (writes the Archdeacon) in attempting to minimise the undoubtedly strong feeling which exists amongst the Nonconformists in Wales for the disestablishment and disendow- ment of the ancient organisation of Christianity in that country, as settled a-new at the time of the Reformation. There are some 27 consti- tuencies where a majority in favour of these forcible measures against three where the iu2,- jority is the other way Is there no remedy for this religious disunion except that one half of tho population should inflict on the other half what would be felt as an in- tolerable injustice ? The ideal course would be for the Welsh Bishops, who, say what anybody may, are really the representatives of the ancient organisation, to confer with the leaders of the Nonconforming- communions, and to receive lawful authority to reorganise Welsh Christianity once more, after the precedent of the Re- formation, so as to unite these earnest Christian people yet again into a harmonious religious community. As I said before, the Welsh Non- conformists hold all the main doctrines of Christianity, and room might easily be made for their specific for-a of local government. The bishops and leaders in this ideal scheme would be guided by the wishes of the people as they were at the time of the Reformation. But that is entirely got out of the region of possibility. I only mention the proposition in order to put h aside. The feelings and traditions on boti sides are far too strong. Failing that, it should consider it wise on the part of our sl I rules in Church and State to make the Welsh Church a separate province, in the same position as the province of York. It is quite likely that the ancient organisation in Wales might take developments and adap- tations which would ba suited to the Celtic Welsh character, and not at all to tha English. The Scotch have a Church of their own, notwithstanding the Union with England and the differences of race and character between Walsh and English are greater than the differences between the English and the majority of Scots. The Welsh would feel more interest in the ancient organisation if it was wholly Welsh and indigenous than they do when it is everywhere asserted that the Welsh Church is the same as the English, one and indissoluble. It is mere pedantry to insist on exactly the same ecclesiastical forms as best suited alike to all nationalities. We are beginning to drop that pedantry in the colonies, and this is an oppor- tnnity nob to be despised for dropping it m Wales. Welsh nationality IS snfficiently marked to have its own Province, its own ecclesiastical ideas, its own customs and adaptations.
ACCIDENT TO DR RiCHARDS, RISCA.
ACCIDENT TO DR RiCHARDS, RISCA. On Monday morning an accident of a serious nature, and which, it is feared, will end fatally, occurred to Dr Richards, of Risca. The doctor, who was riding a rather spirited horse, was out visiting his patients at Ynysddu. The animal becoming restive, he was thrown on the highroad. It was uot until an hour-ar.d-a-half afterwards II that the doctor was found lying on the road, bleeding profusely from a, wound on the top of I his head. When picked up he was still uncon- scious. He was promptly removed to his resid- p ence at Risca, when Dr Instance was at once called in.
,CHILDREN'S HOUR AND IORDER…
CHILDREN'S HOUR AND ORDER OF THE ROUND TABLE. COLUMN FOR BOYS AND G!RLS. By Maggie Symington. Between the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower, Omes a pansa in a day's occupations, That is known as the Children's Hour. —Lengfelhw. I My Chickens, there was once poet who mado one of the loveliest books you ever saw. I say made it, because he did more than write the poetry in it, as I will tell you. Why am I thinking of this book to-day is, because the verses in it are all Songs of Spring, about curly lambs, and frisking children, about the" merry, merry sparrow," and the blossom on the trees," about flocks of sheep, birds flying I up and down, daisies peeping, &c. There is one about an ant that lost its way in the dark grass and was found by a kind glow-worm with his lantern and there is a nurse's song, and a cradle song, and many about lambs. My happy songs," the poet calls them. It is a little more than a hundred years ago since the book was made. The poet was a poor nitn he lived in plain lodgings, and dressed very piainlv, so he could not pay the publishers to print his songs, although he wanted very badly to see them in print, jjjust as you and I do when we make verse.3, H" puzzled over this question, and at last, one nig it, when he was asleep, a drearn- plan came into his head. Next morning his good wife Kate, who was alway ready to help him in everything, went out with the last naif- crown they had in the world to buy the things ho wanted. He drew the words, pictures, and borders on small copper-plates with a liquid, the name of which he would never tell, then used au acid to eat away all tho white parts, so that the outlines were left raised. He printed off tha pages from these plates in any colours he wished, making his own ink with water colours mixed with giuo- The letters of the songs were gênemlly rod, then he filled up the outlines with delicate, bright colours, giving the p;¡;es a very beautiful appearance. His wife, Kate, bound the books with her own busy bands. This book was called Songs of Inno- I cence," and the poet's name was William. Blake. I have picked out one of the songs from this old book for you. It is called A Song About a Lamb. Little Lamb, who made thee ? Dost thou know who made thee ? Gave thee life and bade thee feed By the stream and o'er the mead Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing, woolly, bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making ail the vales rejoice ? Little Lamb, who made thee ? Dost thou know who made thee ? Little Lamb, I'll tell thee Little Lamb, I'll tell thee He is called by thy name. For He calls Himself a lamb. He is meek, and H • is mild, He became a little child. I a child, and thon a lamb, We are called by His name. Little Lamb, God bless thee Little Lamb, God bless thee A Very Important Month. May is this to our little French cousins, and if you had been brought up to the age of twelve years in the big city of Paris you would be pre- paring for -your first Communion. Until children have partaken of this they are con- sidered morally irresponsible for anything they may do. "E;,erywiiei-e at this season," says a resident, "in carriage, cab, tramcar, or even on foot, one comes across white muslin clad maidens of 12 years or more, small boys in all the; glory of ft brand new black suit with white glory of a brand new black suit with white armlet fringed with silver, or gold. These youngsters step out manfully, conscious of their new-born importance iu the world." You littl- lasses will like to know bow a French girl is dressed for her first Communion. Her frock is always of plain white book muslin, with or with- out fine tucks round the hem. The body is made with narrow pleats from neck to waist, and con- fined there with a sash tied in a big bow. Some- times thore is a little tucker of lace, but not often, as the greatest simplicity is considered the best taste. A smali tulle cap, forming a net at the back, into which the hair is rolled, frames the face with a soft niching, finished off with rosettes of white satin. A veil of muslin is folded and fixed on tho head with two pearl pins. Kid, silk, or cotton gloves, and white k:d boots. On her wrist she must carry a silken satehel to hold her handkerchief and prayer-book, Pride Goes Before a Fall. Tiiio true story is sent me by a Damsel Con- tributor ;— Has it ever struck you how true that old say- ing is? I wish to relate a trifling incident in winch a very little pride had a very great fall— a cruelly disproportionate fall. Going to bed rather lace one night, I discovered that no water vvas ready for my cold bath in the morning, and with the usual help-myself-and-gel-what-I-want- with the usual help-myself-and-gel-what-I-want- without-any-delay feeling I snatched up a jug and spod downstairs to fetch it. Coming along tho landing with the full jug in my hands, the tiniost grain of pride in the world insinuated itself into my heart. How nice it is to be inde- pendent, and get what you want without troubling other people,' I thought. Some folks are so helpless, they might almost be born with- out any bands and feet of their own. How glad I am not to be like that.' With these pleasant reflections T smirked with satisfaction. I hummed a tune, I trod on air—alas air is hardly the substance to sustain a heavy human being. It substance to sustain a heavy human being. It did not sustain me. I was just mounting the stairs when slip went my foot, craioh went the jug, splash went the water, and there I lay, soaked to th? skin, gasping with surprise, prostrate, amid a thousand atoms of pot jug, whil» the horrid water went streaming down into the hall. You can imagine the rest. How the family rushed upstairs, tucked up their petticoats, and waded through the flood to my rescue, how they mopped up the water, and collected fragments of that wicked pot jug, and what little sympathy they gave me when they found I was not killed. But whether that fall was a natural consequence, or a special dispensa- tion of Providence, I find it hard to say."— N ESSIE WATSOS, D.C. Amateur Journalism. I have favoured with a peep at "Bri- tannia," tiie organ of the Southern Amateurs' League, through the kind courtesy of one of my Kingb ts, who is one of its co-editors. I must not call it a MS. publication, although this espe- cial number comes under that class, because it is announced that the next will appsar in print This journal is very spiritedly conducted by two boys—E. A. Runcle and W. H. Crassweiler. There is an article on amateur journalism for recruits, by one of the editors, which has beon I printed in a pamphlet, and is cold for distribu- tiou; it gives, very concisely, particulars of various literary societivjs. Editor No. 2 writes a nice little on "The advantages of short- hand," as well as u-strong sensational story of a youth who found gold in a bird's nest, and met with startling adventures. I have no doubt my young friends would be glad to obtain a few more subscribers and contributors, and therefore re- commend any of you who have literary tastes, and would like to join a league of this kind, to write to W. II. Crassweiler, Britaunia Office, Southsea. Hants. I have also received a copy of the Southern Reporter, a pioneer amateur newspaper, a single sheet, printed. This is also conducted by two boys, one of whom is co-editor of the Bruannia. It is quite startling to find in this an ably written leader, a Lancashire Letter, by Our Biackburn Correspondent," a London Letter, News from the North, by Our Manchester Special," &c. Our young folks are proving themselves both capable and enterprising. My Basket in the Corner.

THOJIAS W. CROSS says: "I should be very glad if you will send me little Alfonso when you get him." I have "got him," and a good many of him, enough to supply the whole Round Table almost, thanks to two big readers, and one little one, who have kindly sent me a large supply of stamps, about which I will tell you more next week. I hope the Round Table remembered that the 17th of May was the sixth birthday of his Majesty Don Alfonso XIIL of Spain. I received nice little letters of thanks from all the recipients of the Egg Prizes, which seem to have given much pleasure and satisfaction. Want of space prevents their publication. Many thanks to the little people mentioned below for welcome letten. :-Anuie Mali a, C. Arthur T. de C. Ellis, Frank R. Hartley, Ernest A. Sampson, E. F. Deacon, P. Roberts, 1. M.

Knights and Esquires must pledge themselves to strive to be brave, true, and honest to be courteous and obliging; defenders of all weak children and dumb animals, and helpers of those who need to refrain from bad language and to say a few kind words or do a kind action every day of their lives. Damsels and Thimblemaids must try to be true, sweet, and helpful, modest, and gentle to be good, and to do good never to listen to a wrong thing, or repeat one to be kind to dumb animals; and to say a few kind words, or do a kind deed every day of their lives. Any little people willing to try and keep these vows will be heartily welcomed to the Round Table by me. Please enclose a penny postage stamp when asking to be admitted, for trans- mission of the big blue and gold certificate given to all who join. If six stamps be sent, a Book of the Order, Song of the Round Table, and Illu- minated Card with the vows, will be sent with certificate.

DRUNKEN SAILORS AT BARRY.
DRUNKEN SAILORS AT BARRY. A Barmaid Stabbed. On Tuesday, shortly before three p.m., I five sailors in an intoxicated condition entered the Royal Hotel, Cadoxton, Barry, and upon I being met with a refusal to be supplied with drink became very riotous, a most disorderly scene occuring in the bar. One of the hotel employees, a driver, endeavoured to quell the disturbance, but was violently set upon by the drunken rabble. JMISS Mil ward, one of the barmaids, pluckily went to bis assistance, The men first of all knocked the hotel servant down, and one of them pulled out a knife and stabbed Miss Milward in the arm. They then made their escape, but an exciting chase occurred through the town. Three of the men were apprehended by townsmen, and detained at the hotel. Acting-Sergeant Davies arrested the other two men at the lower part of the town, but experienced the greatest difficulty in conveying them to the local police-station. They kicked and stiuggled violently, and one of them bit the officer badly on the leg. With the assistance of several civilians they were forced into a greengrocer's shop until the arrival of additional police. Police constables Ley- shon and Williams eventually arrived, and the two ruffians were lodged in the branch station at Main-street. It required the assistance of five constables to convey the gang to the Barry Dock police cells. At the time of telegraphing they had refused to give their names. The cut on the young lady's arm is a deep one, but nothing very serious is apprehended. The event has caused the g-reatesc excitement in the town. Our correspondent, writing late on Tuesday, states that the names of the five men arrested on a charge of stabbing a barmaid at Cadoxton. are Peter Thomas, Daniel O'Connell, William Carr, Alien Maclane, and Thomas Rocke, all of whom are firemen supposed to belong to Liver- pool, and who were lodging with Mr Richard Burnett, at Kolme-street, Cadoxton. Miss Sarah Milward, the barmaid, received an incised wound on the right arm three inches long, which was sewn during the afternoon by Drs O'Donnell and Livingstone. She was subsequently conveyed in a trap to the Barry Dock police-station, where she identified the prisoner Carr as the man who stabbed her. Carr is said to have kicked and bit Acting-Sergeant Davies. Davies says he was also assaulted by O'Connell, the latter also assaulting the hotel servant, Nicholson, who first attemubed to eject the prisoners from the hotel. The five prisoners will be brought before the Barry Dock magistrates on Thursday. The plucky conduct of Constables Davies and Leyshon in the affair is much commented upon in the district, but it is felt that the police force in the neighbourhood needs to be increased, owing to the frequent brawls amongst the seafaring population.
A WELSHMAN MURDERED IN CHILI.
A WELSHMAN MURDERED IN CHILI. A letter was received in Chester on Sunday conveying the intelligence that Edward Blash- field Jones, landscape gardener, who went from that city to Victoria in Chili, some years ago, has been murdered by robbers. On the night of March 11th, three men rode to his house and attacked him with axes and slung shot. His skull was fractured and his shoulders broken, and he died almost instantaneously. The robbers also did serious injury to his son, and thin ran- sacked the dwelling.
