FRIDAY, JA>"U5Y 1, 1897. LOKD PBIKHYN'S MILITA ISM. We do not know how -tch Tjord Penrliy-n cares about public opiin. Probably, lie cares a great deal moreian he would like to confess. 'Anyhow, ft comments of the daily papers, both Conseative and Liberal, upon the correspoiidencerith the Boaxd of Trade, which was publish on Monday, can- not have proved pi easatntiding to his lord- ship. So far as we have en, he has had no defender except the egir-ous special corre- spondent of the "Times,Ylio appears to be the sel'f-.same special piear as tried to make the worse appear the bgr reason in con- nection with the liandSomniission. This absurd scribe excepted, the press of Eng- laiid-even the milk-aild^ter "Mercury"—. is unanimous in telling >d Penrhyn some wholesome truths. That-e age of feudalism is past, that warkingm; cannot be dealt with on the principles a court martial, that dismissing (otherwisjalled indefinitely suspending) 71 11egotia-toiapp:»inted by the men was a sort of hitti below the belt, that extreme sticklers fo:he rights of pro- perty such as Lord Cla.carde in Ireland and Lord So in e'body els e Wales, are the worst enemies of their n order and the chief promoters of Coaninkm—these and cognate truths are vigour&ly commended to Lord Penrhyn's attentiorEven the "Times" mail, with hesitating unity, which is most becoming and pretty, bi-ds his view that Lord Penrhyn was not se when, by an in- sulting circumlocution, j- refused' the men their own interpreter a note-taker. Now, when the "Times" 5pee correspondent says that a landlord has aoi unwisely, the oc- dinary publicist might excused for using harder words. But it Uld be quite super- fluous; and we, at anyite, have no desire to create unnecessary itation. It is far more useful work to i%te what appears to be a way out of the åDock. It appears to us, after careful perusal of the further instalment ».he official corre- spondence published this tilling, that Lord Penrhy.n entertains, one olvo erroneous be- liefs, as to distinct iiiatie-of fact. In re- spect to these erroneous >fs, the men, we are afraid, have not takeoiifficient pains to disabuse his lordship's iot. In his letter of the 29th December to SCourtenay Boyle, Lord Penrhyn points out t: since the strike commenced, he has received no communica- tion whatever from his late employees. Now, since that date, the men have published a thick pamphlet, setting out their whole case, and in (particular replying to the "reasons'' given by Lord Penrhyn for suspending the committee. If that pamphlet, or its con- tents, was net communicated to Lord Pen- rhyn, somebody must have tblundered griev- ously. T'he reply of the men, as given in the pamphlet, to Lord Penrhyn's "reasons" appear to be most conclusive. Take the point that the committee interfered with the man- agement of the quarry ¡by ordering the two men, subsequently discharged, to disobey the summons to the manager's office. The men's reply is that the two men acted, not by di- rection of the committee, but in accordance with a general vote of the men and that, so far as the committee were concerned, they had expressed regret in a letter to Mr Young. Then, as regards the threat to strike in March, the men's reply is that the object of the committee was to postpone a strike to as distent a date as possible, in the hope that meanwhile the grievances would be redressed. It is imost significant that thirteen galleries voted for an immediate ",trike, though the majority were willing to postpone hostilities till March. There are other equally cogent answers on minor points, and we trust the men a leaders will see the wisdom of forward- ing the whole document forthwith to Lord Penrhyn. Though his lordship's courtesy did not lead him to send a copy of his "rea- sons" for suspending the leaders to the men direct, the men need not let his courtesy be the measure and pattern of theirs. The State as conciliator has failed in this case. The turn of the Church has obviously come. What says the Bishop of Bangor?
OUK LOSS.
OUK LOSS. The deatii of Dr Herber Evans is a na- tional loss. It will be felt as such in the re motest recesses of our hills. In Carnarvon, where the great preacher spent the major part of his public life, the feeling of sorrow is general and deep. To those living in the town, and knowing its ancient history, it does not seem- very iprobable that in scores of Welsh country districts Carnarvon is known merely as the town where "Herber" used to -ive. But, without any doubt, that is the fact. The time has not yet come to estimate with accuracy his attainments and achieve- ments. It cannot be claimed, perhaps, that he was a grealt scholar, i iithie Dryasdust meaning of that word. Nor can it be claimed that he was a profound original thinker. But he possessed a broad, vigor- ous, espajisive, and tenacious mind, capable of assimilating and reproducing every fact and every fancy that bore on the things in which he was interested—the weighty themes of political progress, social reform, and re- ligious development. His devotion to his life-work was absolute, and his industry was prodigious. 'His influence on Wales during the past quarter of a century waa unrivalled. Having no peer in his own (lay-at least since the death of Dr Owen Thomas—he probably leaves no one who can be expected to fill his place. "He was a man. Take him for all in all, We shall not look upon his like again."

The choice of a suooessiar to the late Rev Dr' John Morris in the iprinieipalship of Brecon Memorial College is being much dis- cussed in Welsh Congregational circles. It is not. impossible thvt Professor David Row- lands (DL-xv- Mon), who has for many years been vice-piiVicipal, will be promoted to the vacant place, though several other names are mentioned. There was a, very interesting sequel the other day to a lecture delivered at Johannes- burg by the Rev J. W. Rogers. The lecturer had been telling the UiCanders at the Wes- leyan Church in that city all he knew about the "Princes of Welsh Pulpit Oratory," and as one of the results a sum of £300 was sub- scri'bed in the hall there and then for the erection of a new Wesleyan church in the suburbs. It was considered uwlucky for anybody to S0 a girl first on New Year's Day, though, in some localities, it is customary for women to endeavour to see a man first, and men to see a woman. Those Who desire to get their wishes realised during the year should be the to go to the w-er] for a pitcher of water immediately after sunrise on New Yeails morning. It its regarded as fortunate to com- mence any new work on New Year's Day. It has been decided to hold a Welsh service again next St. David's Eve, at St. Paul's Catihtdral, iti London, and Mr Wil- liam Davies, late of Oxford, and formerly of Rhosllanerchrugog, has (been appointed to conduct the Welsh choir ait the service. The anthem "Felly carodd Duw y 'byd," by Mr William Davies, is to be .sung, and the fol- lowing congregational tunes:-Gicesweii, Liar ngoiedmor, Sandion, Joatana,, and Bryn- hyfryd. Several persons were prosecuted at Cardiff Police Court, oil Monday, for selling beer by retail without a license.—Charles Lewis, who had been previously convicted, was fined :cioo.-Oiie defendant, charged with illegal- ly selling beer in the Broadway Liberal Club, was fined £ 50.—Another member of the. dull was mulcted in a like amount, and it was &taic.I on the authority of the head-constable that the practice of taking liquor from the prevailed to an enormous- extent in Cardiff. The Rev David Wynne Jones has resigned his charge of Hi'injant and] Llanajyiiag churches. The Rev R. W. Hughes, minister of the Preswylfa, Llanberis, ha,SJ accepted an invlt,LL-ioi-i to become the mmmter of the Rh vd-dklu Church. The Rev Owen Parry, of P.G., has xeeeived a "unanimous call to undertake the pastoral change of Beffliesda, Cemaes; and the Rev D. Morgan. Davies, B.A., of Colwyn Bay, has accepted an in- vitation to undertake the charge of the Clare- -ni(-r.it Church, Shrewsbury. Early laist week, the Rev Canon Wood EdKvards, vicar of Ruaibon, was taken ill with a heart seizure, andi tihough Dr Dobbie, of Chester, and Dr R. Williams, of Wrexham, were constantly in attendance,, the Canon's condition became so serious that all the family were summoned ta his bedside. We are to say that the 'latest bulletin is much more favourable, and that his present condition is deem evil so saltisfaictorfy that the member's: of the family, who were called to the Vicarage- owing to his illness, hajve all left. The Canon's brother, the Bishop of St. Asaph, has visited him twice during his illness. The art of writing an English englyn is evidently not so modern as many people sup- pose, for the existence of the fallowing stan- j za shows that it dates back at least to the golden age of cock-fighting: — A cock of a stock like steel—with his head As hard as an anvil; Unparalleled in periJ- A sour heart and a sure heel. Alliteration's artful a,id was also recently made usle of by an enterprising tailor in an English town in praise of his goods Tfha suit (is a fEtltile beau}ty—the best Yet bought for the money Never can there better he A suit withip- the city. A writer in the "S'choollmistress," who has been spending Christmas at Capel Curig, far away in the mountain fastnesses of Snow- donia, is in ecstacies with tlie beauty of the district. Ca-pe., Curig 'has long been known as a perfect paradise for artists. From the early days when David Cox "discovered" the valley of the GLlugwy there has hardly been a single Academy show but what contained a mcre or less faithful representation of some part of Capet Curig scenery. The stepping stones with the beautiful fringe of e birch trees, the Cynffig falls with their lichen- grown rocks, the twin birch trees growing by Tanybwloh pool, and, above all, the mighty Snowdon, with the rustic bridge in the foreground, have been painted over and over again. 'Twas here that B. W. Leader, A.R.A., and Clarence Wliaite made their fortunes, and within the Jam, few years many wel-known Slpots of Capel Curig have been adorning the walls of provincial art galleries by such artists as David Bates, of Worces- ter Turner, of Derby; John Finnie, of Liverpool; ,Bilbie, of Nottingham; aind many others. Charles Leland, "Hans Breitman," use to tell an amusing story about an English ar- tist's experience in Wales. The late Sir John Millais and a new associate of the Rcyal Academy were, in company with Le- land, talking about autumn arrangements, when the young artist expressed a desire to go to Wales, but remarked that tourists were always interrupting by asking directions as to the way to various places. "You need not lie troubled on that account," said Millais, "if you learn a few simple words of Wei-li." "What are they?" asked the young artist. "When tourists interrupt, shake your head, and sav, deliberately, 'Dim Saesneg!' (No English), the effect is magical," replied Mil- lais. Diligently, and for several weeks, the artist continued to iriemorjise the word*. Early in the autumn, the artist started for Bettwsveoed, but long previously the Welsh password had become to the Englishman, as it were, his own mother tongue. For a few days after his arrival in Wales, the art:st was quite "alone in his glory." But the in- flux of numerous tourists brought trout le- some interruptions. "Which is the nearest way to BettWiiycoed asked an American-. who was doing Wales. The artist, solemn- ly shading his head, deliberately replied Damn Sassy Xig." "What d've say?' de- manded the angry American whereupon the artist deliberate^ repeated the offence.. a~? T*e a —y°n Britisher—do you/ If you repeat it, I'll thrash you yithin an men of your miserable existence 1" Had it not been for the timely interposition of a lady who had a slight knowledge of Welsh doubtless the American would have carried his threat into effect. The lady expfned that the objcctionaKe expression was tip in-- nocein perveTsion of very civil and sinple Welsh words. 1 MOTilQHKHIRiEl JiLGI- • 1x119 ell owing genteemen iave been aiided TO rhe commission of the p?ae<* for Denbighshire Mr Benjamin Danes, 1 osc-otaee, Rhosllmerchrugog and Mi E.

FLINT AND DENBIGH HUNT.—The Flintshire and Denbighshire Hounds met at Downing on Sauurlay, when there was a large and fasiiioaiaible company.

AGRICULTURAL RATING APPEALS UN ST.

The Inland P.evenue Commissioners disagreed with the union assessment committee asi to whether certain park-land was agricultural land within the meaning *of the Act and en-, titled to the reuef of rates" A,Ilo,Ave,cl under it. The assessment, committee scheduled sevei-al. parks of this description under the Act., and the Inland F¡elv811.we¡ Autjiiloiifitieis appealed againsn tho deoiision at the several petty sessional courts, hur. unaiblc to sustain their appesls. In view at the cases being taken to a higher court, the St. Asaph As- sessment Committee obtained power to ap- pear as respondents at quaver siessic-ns', but as the appeals have been dropped there will be no necessity to carry the matter further. The assessment committee contend that by their action they have secured about JE75 per annum for five years to the union from the Government. MERIONETHSHIRE!

Dur- ing the first of these 25 lifeboa.ts were launchcd, resulting in the saving of 24 lives and the landing of eight other persons from. vessels in distress, as a precautionary measure while during the second gale men- tioned, 17 lifeboats were launched, resulting also in the saving of 24 lives, and the landing of 39 other persons from vessels in dangerous positions. An enormous amount of damage was done, particularly on the west coast, to the lifeboa houses, stages, slipways, etc., during these two gales. The tide which ac- companied the gale of the 8th October was alleged to have been the highest, in many places, on record. Only one lifeboatman lost his liffc on service during the year, and that from an accident not in any way due to the lifeboat. The details o.f the services rendered by the lifeboats during the year include the following :—Schooner of Carnarvon, rendered assistance smack "Christiana," of Cardigan, 2; "Anne and Betsv," of Aber- porth, landed 2 "Ailbatross," of Aberporth, lahded 2; ketch "Clara, of Milford, as- sisted to save vessel and 3 kei-ell "Sage," of Carnarvon, landed 3; Ibsirque "Minde," of Farsund, 11; trawler "Hadassah," of Aber- ystwyth, saved vessel; schooner "Mouse," of Cardigan, landed 3; schooner "Ocean Belle, of Beaumaris, 3; ketch "Progress, of Aber- ystwyth. landed 3. The list, of services rin- eludes the saving of 312 lives and much vaCu- able property, 20 vessels having been rescued froim total or partial loss, besides which scores of fishingboats returning from the fleets would have been unaible to make the har- bours, and would probably have been wrecked, had it not been for the important assistance of the fifeboats. Altogether the boats were launched for service 341 times during the year, and the crews of lifeboats also assembled on 49 other occasions in readiness to go off in the boats should their services be required.
