Rhyl Journal

IN a country chapel in Ireland, where there were but few seats, during a sermon three ladies entered for shelter. They were well known and respected in the district, and the priest, on recognising them, ordered Three chairs for the three Protestant ladies." The congregation, who understood him to say" cheers," set up three hearty cheers, much to the dismay of the young ladies. However, on the mistake being discovered, the young ladies were provided with chairs. MANY years ago, when a Berwick election petition was being heard before a Committee ol the House of Commons, considerable amusement was caused by the difficulties of the South-countrj members to make out the Berwick dialect. Well,' said counsel to a witness, where did —— go V He went wi' we," replied the native of the ancient burgh. we ?'" repeated the puzzled Chairman what is we T Well," came the reply, "he went wi' we—he went wi' hUll." Huz But who is "'Hus is cried the Borderer, indignant that his tongue should be so little understood. THE definition of "wedding" in the fashion vocabulary means a grand crises of clothes; bride," a peg on which finery of all kinds if hung bridegroom," a sober, black object follow- ing the bride, of no account in particular, and yet without whom there would be no fuss, and the fun could not go oa. A MAN from the country went into a second- hand store in Detroit, and asked the proprietor to show him a spring overcoat. Certainly ve are just putting down de brices on shbring shtock." Suddenly there was a terrific hammering and a general hubbub in the rear room. For Heaven's Bake, what's that ?" asked the customer. Oh, don't get vrightened. Dot's only my son, Isaac, knocking down de brice on shbring goots," said the proprietor. WHAT'S this newspaper article about the late John Smith 2" inquired old Mr. Badger. Is he our John 1" "Guess he is." Well, well! He allers was slower 'n molasses in January. He never was on time in all his life, and they used to say he wasn't to his own weddin' till the day after the ceremony, and now the day after he's dead they call him the 'late John Smith.' It beats all how those newspapers do learn so much about a person!" A WITTY CLOWN, by name Durow, has just been compelled to leave St. Petersburg for carrying jokes too far. He was giving a performance with a pig trained to various feats. At the man's com- mand the animal took up from the ground a num- ber of Russian coins, including imperials and small silver and copper coins. When, however, some rouble notes were thrown down the pig refused to pick them up, even though whipped. Great amuso- ment was caused by this discriminating act, and it was intensified as a voice cried from the gallery to the clown: "You blockhead, if the Finance Minister could not raise the paper rouble in four months, bow can you expect a pig to do it 2" Though a favourite with St. Petersburg audiences, the clown received orders to leave the city the fol- lowing day. Go and see Quinn, the great comedian, said a physician to a hypochondriacal patient, and have a laugh." "Alas! sir, I am he," said the poor man sad':T. he asked, in that style which a big brother assumes when patronizing a little sister— "Marion, do you know that the earth turns round 1" "Of tos I does," answered Marion, resenting the imputation of ignorance; that's the reason I tumbles out of bed." A MAN was telling of a fight he saw in the street, when a big fellow picked up a stick to knock another's brains out, whereupon he rushed in between them to save the intended victim. At this point a little shaver, who had been listening intently, proudly exclaimed He couldn't knock any brains out of you, could he, father ?" A DOCTOR of divinity was once giving his class some instructions about preaching in suoh a way as to gain attention and approbation Young gentle- men," said he, it's all contained in a nutshell. When you go to preach n the city, take your best coat; when you go to preach in the country, take your best sermon." A POMI'OUS young lawyer, in addressing an old judge, said If your honour please, it is written in the book of nature that the eternal law At what page ?" exclaimed the judge, interrupting him—"at what page r' The pompous young lawyer was visibly embarrassed. SHE was cosily intrenched upon his shoulder, and they were very, very happy. "George," she whispered, and he bent his head to listen, "do you know what I would do if your love for me should cool?" "Would you die, dear?" he asked pas- sionately. N >, George; I would bring a suit for breach of promise."

MARRIED LIFE IN JAPAN The wife is but little better than the servant of the husband, and the ties of marriage and divorce are here so loose that he can dispense with her at pleasure. Marriage in Japan is not attended with the solemnity and religious ceremony of the English wedding. It is a civil contract, and the negotia- tions for it go on, as a rule, through the parents. The young man and woman have no preliminary courtship, and the seeing one another for one or two times is the only chance they have of deciding whether there is any compatibility of tempera- ment. When Yum Yum has arrived at the age of fifteen or sixteen, her parents instruct one of their friends or a professional match-maker to look about for a good husband for her. If they have decided upon the young man, they mention his name, and it is the duty of the friend to speak to the parents of the prospective bridegroom and arrange the matter. The go-between is called a Neka- dachip. He appears in every Japanese mar- riage, and it would be entirely improper for either the bridegroom or the parents to arrange a match without him. He has charge ot everything relating to the marriage. He brings the young people together, generally at a tea-house, where both families meet to have a party for the occasion, and it is at this meeting that the two often see each other for the first time, If, as iik the case of "The Mikado," Yum Yum falls in love at first sight with her Nanki-Poo, it is all right. The two giggle and laugh, and examine each other, and a few days later, the match being agreed upon, presents pass between the two parties, and the acceptance of these presents is understood as an agreement that the marriage is to take place. The presents consist of five tubs of sake or rice wine, of five articles of food, two rolls of silk, and a silken girdle. This is, of course, among the better classes. The lower and poorer send a less amount and a poorer quality. The ceremony proper is made up of the drinking of sake and the eating of a dinner together in the presence of the two families. The bride comes to the groom's house to be married, and she brings along presents for him and her prospective parents- in-law. She appears upon the scene in a dress of white, which, however, she changes before the ceremony for one of oolours, which is a present to her from the groom. The groom also gets a present of a gown from her, and puts this on. At tbot drinking of the wine the bride gets the first cup. &nd there is an almost incessant drinking throughout the ceremony. After marriage the bride or the wife is, swallowed up, as it were, in the family of hei husband. Booki on the duties of woman urge her to be subservient to her parents-in-law, and in times past she was expected to communicate with her own parents chiefly by messenger, and not to visit them by any means frequently. The chief book on woman training in Japanese literature is the" Onna Daigaku," which is taught to all Japanese girls, and on which I am told they base their conduct. It is founded on the principle that woman is much the inferior of man, and that she is naturally prone to evil. It says that nine women out of ten are suffering from mental disorders of intellect, angei and resentment, evil speakiag, jealousy, and lack of intellect. The wife should, therefore, depend upon her husband's instructions in all things, and she is subservient to her father in a like degree before marriage. She has, says this book, no right to show jealousy, and if her husband is guilty of im., proprieties she should gently reprove him. She should go to no place without her husband's per- mission, and a husband has the right to bring a concubine into the house if he will. The result oi this is that concubinage prevails here to a large ex. tent, and the men of Japan have a low moral stand- ard in regard to women. The husband has almost absolute control over his wife by the law of divorce and he can get rid of her if he will on sevr J different grounds. If his wife has reached the ago of 80 and is childless, he can divorce her. If/she talks too much the law allows him to send her vway: if she is guilty of theft, if she is addicted to jr AÙOUSY or if she is disobedient to her parents-in-lavt she is liable to divorce, and if she commits adultery she is of course divorced. With such custr,ms it ja no wonder that the number of divorces In Japan is larger than than those of Indiana in i palmiest days gjiiboral divqece suits..

RHYL DISTRICT. FRIENDS of the Bible Society will notice from our advertising columns that the annual meeting of the local auxiliary will be held on Tuesday next. The chair will be taken by the Rev. Thos. Richardson, M.A., vicar of Rhyl. EFFORTS are being made to form ajlocal ama. tenr dramatic club, with the view of giving per- formances at the pier pavilion and elsewhere. HARVEST THANKSGIVING V. FOOTBALL CLUB.—The ngnal amount of irritation is again visible. Why cannot both parties sink their differences and combine to use Lawrence's Corn Cure. THE STJMMFE GAEDENS.—The public perform- ances at the Palace are now over, bat the Gardens continue to be opened daily. Mr Roebuck, who at the end of this month ceases to act as lessee, is deserving of much praise for bringing down many excellent companies during the past season, and for keeping going a round of varird entertain- ments, and that at considerable personal expense. I We understand that Mr C. Herman, who supplied I the entertainments at the Pier Pavilion during the summer, will be the new lessee of the Gardens, and he doubtless will provide some entertainments at the Palace during the ensning season. SINGULAR DISCGVEBY OF LEAD.—The other day as Mr Lewis Morgan, solicitor, was inspecting some lead belongiug to Mrs. Morgan, Mordon, at Llanfairtalhaiarn, with the view of leasing the minerals to the Abergele Copper Ore Company, he directed some workmen to dig soil from a bank to fill up an old pit. They at once pro- ceeded to do so, when, singular to say, they acci- dentally struck a vein of lead, a few inches from the surface of the ground. By digging further it was observed that the vein was increasing in thickness The samples taken from it proved to be lexcellcnt specimens of the ore, which being near the surface can be worked at a minimum cost. "No BREAKFAST, NO MAN," is an old saying, but those who cannot make a hearty morning meal, will find CADBURY'S COCOA. an absolutely pure and refined beverage-com ortiog, exhilarating, and sustaining. BALL.—We beg to remind our readers of the ball which is to take place at the Westminster Hotel this evening (Friday), the proceeds of which will be devoted towards establishing an Accident and Emergency Ward in connection with the Royal Alexandra Hospital. The following ladies and gentlemen have kindly consented to act as patrons Duke and Duchess of Westmin- ster, Mrs Williams Wynn, Cefn; Mrs Rowley Conwy, Bodrbyddan; Mrs Girdlestone, Sedgley House Mrs Llewelyn Lloyd, Ty'n Rhyl; Colonel Mainwaring, Galltfaanan; Dr. Tumour, Grove House. Tickets can be obtained from Mr Trehearn, Wellington Road, Dr. Eyton Lloyd, or Mr Strtchan. WELCOME TO A MINISTER.—On Wednesday afternoon a series of interesting assemblies were held in the English Wesleyan Chapel. The first was the quarterly meeting, when the Rev. J. Judge, the new pastor, recently arrived from Gloucester, met his officers for the first time. This was followed by a substantial tea in the schoolroom, when several ladies of the congrega- tion presided ever well-laden tables, at which a large number of Wesleyan Methodists and friends sat down. In the evening a meeting was held at the same Iplace to welcome the new minister, at which he and memberz of the chapel had an op- portunity of exchanging opinions. Mr Commis- sioner Gunner, circuit steward, occupied the chair. Addresses, full of cordial welcome to the new pastor, were delivered by the Chairman, Messrs. J. Y. Strachan, Jos. Williams, G. R. Lawrence, T. Elliott, J. Mudd, T. & S. Amos, J. Maltby, &c. The Rev. Mr Judge replied at some length, and reciprocrated the kind words to which expression had been given. He also gave an outline of what should be their course of action as a church, his observations frequently receiving the marks of cordial approval.. FUNERAL.—On Monday the remains of Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, 13, Queen Street, were interred in the cemetery. Deceased was highly respeeted and one of the oldest inhabitanss, having resided 50 years at Rhyl. Several Congregational minis- ters officiated at the funeral. Deceased was the mother of Mr Commissioner Abel Jones, and mother-in-law to Mr Commissioner Uichd. Jones. CHOIR TRIP.—On Monday the choirs of the Churches in this town had their annual trip, Chester being chhosen this year. About 80 were booked with an early train. At Chester the par- ties separated, and we believe that all who had been able to join greatly enjoyed themselver in exploring the historic city and its picturesque suburbs. ON Monday evening Mr B. Littler gave a sup- per to the employees of Mr J. Simon Roberts, at Denbigh, upon the completion of some buildings there for the donor, who also presented Mr Roberts with a goldlwatch, and Mr James Hughes, the architect, with a valuable album." BETHEL VALE ROAT»—SALK OF WOBK.—We are requested to draw the attention of our readers to the change of date of the opening of this Sale of Work. It is to be opened next Wednesday by Mr Taylor, and on Thursday by the Mayor of Pwllheli, and not on Thursday and Friday as originally arranged. From the advertisement in another column it will be seen that a very at. tractive programme is arranged, and that a most interesting evening may be enjoyed. The Hand Loom will be an entirely novel sight for most of our readers. It will be in full work, showing the manner of weaving Shawls, &c. We wish the friends every success in their undertaking. Miss A. M. Hughes (Telynores Menai) made a distinct mark at the Llandudno concerts She is now the youngest harpist in Wales, being 12 years of age. At the late Pwllheli Eisteddfod she gained the first prize for harp playing. She is now a pupil of Madame Frost. She will appear also in Welsh costume. RE H. EANSHAWE, COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER, ETC RHYL. -This debtor's adjourned examin- ation took place at Bangor on Thursday, Mr E. Roberts (Rhyl) appearing for Mr R V. Wild- blood the petitioning creditor. In the summary of the statement of affairs, the liabilities were re- turned at JE314 4s. 7d., and the deficiency at .£ 172 9s. 4d. Pressure by one of the creditors was the alleged cause ot failure. In the absence of the official receiver (Mr LI. Jones) this and other examinations were conducted by the assis- tant official receiver (Mr Hugh Roberts). The debtor's examination was closed, subject to the signing of the notes.. ST. THOMAS'S CHXJBCH.—16th Sunday after Trinity, October 6. Hymn 562, St. Micahel; Hymn, 408, Trust; Hymn 437, Cheltenham Hymn 459, St. Flavian; Hymn Dr, Raphial. Orjanist—Mr F. Wriglev. The Organist will be glad to welcome any visitor that will assist in the choir. THE BLACK DOCTOR" AGAIN IN LTTMBO.— Frederick Denison, a coloured man, well known in the district as the black doctor," was on Wednesday remanded at Holywell on a charge of having stolen a brush, a woollen shirt, collar, necktie, waistcoat and a knife, the property of Peter Jones, butcher, Bagillt. The prisoner, who was apprehended at Abergele by Police-constable Taaffe, has only recently been liberated from Ruthin gaol, where he had been detained on a charge of obtaining an umbrella from a Rhyl shopkeeper under false pretences. UNEW COMPANIES.—The Abergele Copper Ore Company, Limited, has been registered with a capital of £15,000, in £1 shares, to work a mine in the parish of Llansannan. The subscribers are all strangers to the locality and their shares amount to nearly the third of the capital.— The colliery business of the late Mr. Joseph Evans, Haydock, has been converted into the Richard Evans & Co, Limited," with a capital of £700,000 in £10 shares. The subscribers are—Miss Ruth Evans, T. Drayton Grimke, Major-General F. S. Stanton, W. H. Evans, H. L. Squires, Mrs R. D. Clements Smith, and T. E. Ellis, the gentlemen named being the first directors, receiving jEiOO per annum each as remuneration. SPONGES.—Hatwood, the Hairdresser, has a splen- did stock of Sponges, which are now being sold at excep- tionally low prices. The large sizes are suitable for the bath, and the price only One Shilling each. The smaller sizes, suitable for toilet purposes, at 9d., 6d., and 3d.. according to size. May be obtained at either the High Street or Queen Street Establishment. WELSH GOLD MINES.—It is stated that some Manchester gentlemen have formed a company and have purchase 1 Hughes's gold mine, situated on the north-east side of Moel Famau, Flintshire. The purchase money is £20,000. His Honour Judge Horatio Lloyd has appoin- ted Mr. R. S. Chamber, ain, solicitor, Llandudno, registrar of the Conway County Court. A FALSE POLITICAL RUMOUB.—There is no foundation whatever for the rumour that the Hon. G. T, Kenyon, M. P., will not again contest the Denbigh Boroughs. DBVNKINNESS AND IMPUDENCE.—On Monday evening P.c. J. A. Jones' attention was drawn to the objectionable conduct of a man in Brighton Road, who was in a drunken condition and be- having impudently towards residents who refused to purchase some small wares he was offering. The constable also came in for a considerable amount of "cheek." The man was taken into custody, and gave the name of Robert Williams, Henllan Street, Denbigh. On the following day Messrs. Wynne and Perks committed him for seven days in default of the payment of a fine. MARK MASON BY.The name of Mr F. Hord- ley was last week omitted from the list of Grand Lodge Officials. Mr Hordley is tue P.G.M. Stan- dard Bearer. MANY of our readers ARC feeling worn out with the hard work of the season. What they need in a bottle of Lawrences' Crown Tonic. It cares every kind of weak- en. CLOSE OF THE SUMMER SEASON.—Monday, September 30th, may be considered as the last day of the summer season, for on that date the tourist and excursion arrangements of the railway com- panies came to a termination, after a four months' duration. Notwithstanding the counter.attrac. tion of the Paris Exhibition, from which so much opposition was apprehended, all watering places seem to have done well. Rhyl in particular has been very extensively patronised, and more people have visited the town this past summer than in any previous year. Much of the success which our lodging-house keepers enjoyed was due to the exceptionally fine weather which prevailed so long. During the last days of September, however, it was somewhat boisterous, and the wind and rain doubtless drove several out of the town sooner than they intended leaving. Yet those who care to scrutinize our list of visitors, which contains only the names collected this week, will find that there is remaining in the town a large num- ber of persons from various distant parts of the country. We trust that many of them may pro. long their residence over the winter, or some part of that period. Those who can do so will discover that Rhyl is by no means a dull and cold place in the winter-time. The fact is that temperature at the seaside; in the winter is much higher than it is in inland districts, whilst the rainfall at Rhyl is very much below the average. It has been demonstrated over and over again that seekers after health could not do better than come here to reside. There are scores of persons residing in the town who are living proofs of that fact. ENTEETAINMENTS. —On Saturday evening the last performance under the management of Mr Roebuck was given at the Palace, when there was a goodly attendance. Messsrs. Gilding and Jones' Band on the same night performed for the last time on the promenade, the storm which pre. vailed prevented many being present to listen to Auld Lang Syne." On Monday evening Mr Simcock, the courteous Secretary of the Pier Com- pany, took his benefit at the Pavilion, when an entertaining programme was sustained by several professionals and amateurs. During the coming months various entertainments will be arranged for at the town hall and elsewhere. IN the chancel of Flint church a Gothic altar- tomb of marble has been erected in memory of Messrs J. and R. Muspratt, the latter being the father of Mr. J L. Muspratt, J.P., Rbyl. IMPORTANT TO VISITORS.—Visitors requiring Wines, Spirits, Bottled Ales, Stoat, Cider, and Mineral Waters should go to J. H. Ellis, Wine and Spirit Merchant, 11 and 12, Water Street, Rhyl. Sole Agent for Jacob's Pilsener Lager Beer, and Anglo-Bavarian Ales in Casks and Bottles. Full Price Lis's on application to J. H. Ellis, Wine Merchant. &c., 11 and 12. Water-st., Rhyl CONSERVATIVE CLUB.—Thejannual meeting of the above has been fixed for Wednesday the 9th inst., when the balance sheet .for the past year will be produced and the election of officers for the coming year proceeded with. THE PBESS—Yr Haul (The Welsh Church Monthly) contains a pleasing variety of articles in its October number, and generally it compares very favourably with publications of a similar character issued in the English language. We note that in it is republished a full and idiomatic translation of our Bishop's address at the recent, conference, and respecting which a leading Church paper has said that a note of sober confidence and sincerity was the chief one of this address. Dr. Edwards is undoubtedly the right man in his place, and it is to him, as the youngest among the bishops, that the Churchmen will look to lead the forward policy in Wales. There is every reason for expecting that his career will be a pattern career of a Bishop serving under the new order of things." The same number contains a short biographical sketch of John Evans y Clochydd," Rhuddlan. THE death is recorded of Dr Davies, of Caerwys, who was a eon of the renowned Rev. Samuel Davies, Wesleyan Minister. Deceased also was a preacher in the connexion, and a well-known public advocate of Conservatism. THE TBAINS.—Our readers travelling by rail would do well to note that the extra summer ser- vice of trains is now discontinued, and that there are alterations in the times on which others are due. FRUITLESS inquiries have been made by the police in this and other towns for a Liverpool lady who is missing after taking a journey for the North Wales coast. The Rev. W. Rees Williams, Vicar of Gyffylliog, will preach at St. Thomas's on Wednesday, the 16th day of October, after evening prayers at 7 p m., when there will be an offertory for the Church of England Zenana Missionary Society. BICYCLES AND TRICYCLES.—Strange but true, why do Rhyl people go out of town to get Cycles, when I can supply them with a better machine at a lower figure. I have seen 3 cycles come the town; lately which cannot hold a candle to my North Wales Safety, they will not last as long, easily, nor bring near such a price secondhand. If you want good stuft get a machine from a high class maker, and as I claim to represent none but the best firm come to me. Connah the North Wales Cycle Agent. AN ABSOLUTELY PURE COCOA.—A refined and com- forting beverage for the most exac'ing is found in Cadbury's Cocoa—the automatic machinery employed in its manufacture obviates the necessity for its being once touched by the human hand. CADBURY'S COCOA is absolutely pure.
