RHUDDLAN. HANES YR HEN BOBL A R HEN BETHAU YN RHYL. Y XLII. Benod o banes yr hen Bobol a ben bethau yn Rhyl —Mi ddaeth Tom and Charlie, fel y byddid yn en galw, i Rhyl o Loegr nid wyf yn cofio enw y lie chwaith, er i mi glywed. Yn V Royal Hotel yr oeddynt yn arfer aros, hefo Mr Fielding. Yr achos i mi son am y dieithriaid byn yw am mai yn anaml, drwy drugaredd, y croniclir hanes o'r fath. Dan frawd osddynt, ac 'rwyf yn eu cofio yn dda: dya go fawr oedd Tom, ac nn bycban oedd Charlie. Y mae yn Rhyl yn awr yn byw amryw, yn hen bobol, oeddynt yn Rhuddlan yn blant, fel finau, yr adeg yr wyf yn son am dano, ac maent yn cofio yn dda am danynt. Dynion y pres mawr y byddem yn en galw. Is id wyf yn gwybod yr achos iddynt ddyfod o a gwlad i'r Rhyl, os nad iddynt gael mwy o ryddid i ddinystrio eu hnnain, druain o honynt! i r oedd ] ganddynt gerbyd a march o'r fath oreu, ac yr oeddynt wedi cymmeryd at fachgen i nn o'r enw Burns, oedd yn catiw shop yna mi fydde y bacbgen bwn yn fath o pet i'w canlyn i bob man. Yr oeddwn i yn arfer myn'd i'r un ysgol, ac mi aeth yn fall out hefo ni'n dan un diwrnod, ac yn fattle yn y diwedd; mi fase yn well iddo fod yn llonydd o lawer. Ond beth wnaeth y gwalch ond tynu ei gyllell ataf, canys Gwyddet oedd os cafodd hi cynt mi gafodd hi wed'yn, yn siwr i chwi, achos yr oedd y Cymro wedi ei faga yn galetach o lawer. Maddeued y darllenydd am bynyna o hunan. Mi glywais Mr Vaughan y Batbs yn dweyd fod Burns wedi marw yn yr America: nid wyf yn cofio faint fa y ddau-Tom a Charlie-yn lladd eu hunain. Byddent yn aifer a dreifio i Rhuddlan, ac i'r Black Inn, braidd bob dydd ond dydd Sul (chware teg iddynt, ac felly yn gwneud cywilydd i lawer sydd yna yn awr). Mi fyddafiyn gresynu lawer nos Sabboth wrth weled yr anifeiliaid, druain, wedi eu daros- twns? i oferedd mi fyddaf yn raeddwl y bydd o-an lawer un yna syfrif mawr i roi am faeddu yr anifail, druan; y tuchan, a'r chwythu, a chrafu y byddant with dreio dyfod i fynu yr alltyma. Y dydd o'r blaen yr oedd yma rai yn hel at y gymdeitbas sydd yn edrych ar ol yr anifeiliaid; y mae yn amser i rhyw gymdeithas edrych ar eu bol ar y Sabboth hefyd. Pa bryd y daw ein teyrnas yn ddigon moesol, a'n Seneddwyr yn ddigon Cristionogol i drefnu cyfraith na bydd dim cerbyd nac anifail i fyn'd allan beb fod gwir angen am hyny. Pa bryd y daw y dydd hwnw jydd mewn adiespidi y bydd ar ffrwynau y meirch sancteiddrwydd i'r Arglwydd ? Y mae yn anhebyg iawn yn y dyddiau hyn y mae arn$ £ ofn fod yna lawer yn hocio yn ol a blaen hefo en cerbydaa ar y Sabboth i demtio pobol i dori y Sabbotb, dan yr e^gus eu Lod yn myned i'r Cathedrai, neu i Bod. eiw^d,|an.

Y peth m&»? ein tyb ni fel plant mewn perthynas a hwy oedd ea tiod yn rhanu pres i ni; y mae yn eithaf tebyg ein bod yo gwybod yr adeg y byddai Tom a Charlie yn y Black, a dyna He y byddai torf o honom yn aros nes clywed y ff enestr yn agor, ac yn llygadrythu am Y pl^t yn liawn o .ddj^saa, afi ambell i geiniog ytf «<* 'RWV{ Pe yn gweled y pres W y pl&iau fa disgyn arnom fel baid o wenyn, on kefe golyg gaoddypt, a dyna lie y byddent hwythau Ø" .foà4, yD 4a Va ehwerthin am ein penan yn ymdrabaeu- f baw, ae yn colli amryw o honynt befyd yn y baw. a'r dyn fydde yn glanhau y street yn d'od o hyd i lot o'r pres yn y diwedd.

Mi allwn enwi amryw bethau eraill mewn cysylltiad a'r gwyr byu yn Rhuddlan, ond gwell tewi. Nid wyf yn cofio am faint o amser y buont yn Kbyl, ond yr wyf yn cofio iddynt farw mewn rhyw gymaint o oriau i'w gilydd, a chael eu claddu hefo'u gilydd yr un diwrnod yr wyf yn cofio y diwrnod yn dda. Y mae yn debyg nad oeidym ni fel plant yn gallu sylweddoli yr amgylchiad, ond cyn belled a'n bod ni yn jjolli y pres fyddtm yn arfer gael ganddynt. Maent wedi eu claddu tu ol i'r Eglwys yma bu'm wrth eu bedd y dydd o'r blaen y mae cist o geryg nadd cadflrn arnynt. Yr achos i mi fyn'd at eu bedd oedd fel y gsllwn rhoi yr banes uchod yn lied gywir; oud y mae yr hanes yn aneglur try fod y gareg wedi magu baw, ond yr oeddwn yn casgta mai yn June, 1841, y cymeroad yr am- gylchiad le. Nid yw ond fel doe genyf, er fod dros driugain mlynedd. Ni chlywais eu bod wedi cymetyd dim gwenwyn, i fyned fel hyn mor agos i'w gilydd, ond y gvenwyn oedd yo y ddiod yr oeddynt yn ei yfed, sef alcohol. Yr oedd y ddau fel pe buasent wedi gwneud a'u gilydd ddiofryd- betb i ddifa eu hunain cyn yr amser. Y mae, onid oes, rvw adnod fechan, Na fydd ry annuw. iol ac na fydd ffol: a phaham y byddit farw (yn dy amser ?" Ni fuaswn yn son gair am y dynion hyn oni ba'i fy mod yn ofni y gall fod yn mhlith darlleawyr hyn o banes rhywrai yn chware a'r wiber, sef y ddiod feddwol. Cofier mai ei diwcdd fydd—"Hi a fr&th fel y sarph, ac a biga fel neidr." Nid oeddwn yn meddwl dweyd gfcir yn rhagor am Tom a Charlie, ond wrth gop am danynt wrth un oedd yn eu cofio yn dda, dywedai wrthyf eu bod wedi gorcbymyn ar fod i'r ceffyl hardd gael ei saetho ar ol iddynt farw. Y mae ryw air yn dweyd mai fel y bydd dyn fyw y bydd efe marw; a dyma fel yr oedd rhai'n—wedi gwas. trflffn yn en bywyd, ac yn eu diwedd yn gwastraffu wrtb ladd yr anifail, drhan -vo jchwanegu pechod at bechod. A heddyw wed'yn, dyma fi yn digwydd son wrth un sydd dipyn yn bya na mi, a oedd o vn en cofio. Ydwyf. yn dda," meddai. "vr oeddwn yn bogyn yn y Black ar y pryd, ac an diwrnod, wrth dd'od a'r catal o'r holm i'w godro, a pban oeddwn gyferbjn a'r Blaek dyna lie yr oedd torf o blant, a Tom a Charlie yn llucbio pres iddynt; dyna fi i'w canol, er fy mod yn droed- noeth, ac mi gefais un darn a ffwrdd a fi ar ol y catal. ac erbyn edrych yr oedd fy Dhraed. yn gwaedu, a threfn fawr arnynt. Pan yn ou golchi dyma fi yn myn'd i 'ncl y ddime, ac er fy syndod, beth oedd bi ond sofren; a phwy ddaeth beibio ond y barmaid, a dyma bi ya gofyn beth oedd bwnw? Dyna fi yn dweyd wrthi fy mod wedi cael sofren ond yn mben tipyn dyna hi yn gofyo am y sofren ac yn rhoi i mi haner coron yn ei tie. fod arnyot eisiau y sofren, ac felly fu. Ond pwy ddaetb beibio ond fy meistr, Mr Morris, a dyna fynte pn gofyn beth oedd arnai, a finau yn deyd pobpeth wrtho dyma fo i'r ty at y barmaid, ac yn holi yDghylch y sofren, a mi fetbodd a dal yr arboliad-fod arnynt eisio y sofren, a dyna Mr Morris a'r sofren i mi, ap yn deyd am i mi gadw yr haner cjron befyd mi 'roedd yn dda i mi eu cael er mwyn i mi gael esgidiau am fy nhraed, a phetbau eraill hefyd." Y mae llawer yn ycbwaneg a allesid ddweyd am Tom a Charlie, ond mae hyn ene yn ddigon rwan. Y mae yn debyg nad oes yn y Rbyl yn awr ddim ond ychydig yo cofio Robert a. Neli Lewis, dau hen gymeriad hynod yr oes or blaen, ac yn enwedig Neli. Mewn ryw gaban o dy isel yr oeddynt yn byw, yn ymyllle yr oedd Major Penn yn byw, ocd a ailadeiladwyd yn fwy ar ol hyny, fel y gwelir yn awr. Clywais ddpyd fod gan Neli lawer o blant wedi bod, ond dau wyf fi yn gofio yn fyw-mab a merch. Bob oedd enw y mab, ond mae wedi marw er ys talm. Y cof cyntaf sydd genyf am Neli Lewis yw ei bod yn myned heibio ein ty hefo throl a phastart m al, yn cario o Rhyl i Ddinbych dyma'r traffic oedd y dyddiau hyny rbwng Dinbyeh a Rhyl, oedd trol a phastart mul. Mor wahanol yn awr, onide ? Nid wyf yn siwr a oedd Neli yn myned yn amlach na thair gwaith yn yr wythnos, a chofier mai N eli fydde yu myned hefo y drol bob tywydd. Yr wyf wedi gweled miloedd lawer o ferched yn ystod fy oes, ond ni welais o bonynt yr un tebyg i Neli Lewis; oni ba'i fod ganddi blant (er ei bod yn gwisgo dillad merch) ni fuasid yn credu mai merch oedd hi. Yn un peth yr oedd ganddi lais fel dyn a dyna beth arall, 'doedd hi ddim ond dynes digon slender o'r olwg arni, ond wedi ei gwneud o ddefnydd hollol wahanol i'r hyn welais i yr oes hoo-a waeth heb son am yr oes ddoliaidd hoo.-(I barhau). 0 Y.—Yn y benod ddiweddaf y mae dau gam- gymeriad wedi digwydd yr wyf braidd yn sicr mai ar y cysodydd y mae y bai hefyd. Y mae rbyw debygolrwydd rhwng Llandudno a Llan- drindod, a chofier mai yr olaf oedd-sef llyn Llandrindod-i fod. Yr wyf ytwfni fod gwahan- iaeth dirfawr rhwng y ddau le ar y Sabboth y gwall arall oedd, mai deuddeg acer a ddywedais, ao nid deugain, sef y lie y saif y llyn arno.

Liberalism & Nonconformity in Wales THE REV. E. LLOYD JONES' VIEWS. In the current number of ^"Young Wales" the Rev. E Lloyd Jones, late of Rhyl, a well-known Liberal and Nonconformist, gives some interesting impressions of the present state of Liberalism and Nonconformity in Wales. Mr Jones is.of! opinion that politically Wales is less vigorous now than formely, and this he attributes very largely to the influx of a class of Englishmen, who, while they were making their wealth in England we £ j thnsiastic Dissenters and Radicals, but whose change of country has involved them in a change. o creed, political and religious. Holding that ult mately the foes of Disestablishment are not intel- lectual but social, Mr Jones remarks that were not the Church a vestibule into good people would never dream of making it a door into the kingdom of heaven He has no doubt that when the time comes sufficient enthusiasm can be L1_1_ hnt- created in favour of Welsh ^8estaDUSn"lc"> he confesses that nothing his discouraged him s muoh as the constant requests, before he speaks at political meetings, to say nothing in refer«^ to Disestablsshment. This spirit he meets with not among the people themselves, but among tneir leaders, the class of people who are on the verge of becoming magistrates. As to Disestablishment Mr Jones holds strongly that Disestablishment for Wales must not be mixed up with Disestablish- ment in general. There must be no thought of aiving up Welsh Disestablishment as a distinctive Welsh question for the whole case for Liberalism and nationalism in Wales if summed up in the demand for Disestablishment. Mr Jones expressed regret that the subject of Home Rule for Wales has go e back. In this he thinks that Wales has been untrue to her Liberalism arnd,^10°c0n^rmlty- Much ot the alienation of Welsh Noncon- formists from Home Rule has been caused, he thinks, by the loyalty of the Irish Catholic to the principles of his own Church, He should not be penalised for loyalty to principles which are as dear to him as Nonconformists' principles are dear to them. On the Education Bill Mr jonei thinks the Nonconformists made a grave mietk when thay abandoned the policy of the (i agetilar platform," the only policy consistent with the principles andhistorical position of Nonconformity. ^Onoe," he says, "we admit that it Is right to accept publis Riooey for any religious objecta whatsoever, we hW3 54wn founder the branch upon which Nonconformist pripciples hang. feel when trying to defend the attitude af the Liberal party towards the Education Bill, almost powerless to rebut the objectiona of Tories and Churchmen whilst we have Wesleyan and British schools receiving money form the State, which either directly or indirectly supports their deno- minational creeds.

Bibby's Quarterly." Christmas numbap exhibits all the freshness 86ud variety which invariabty ipark this publication. The usual space is, of course, devoted to the agricultural portion, in which the articles are thoroughly practical, and are from the pens of writers who understand the sublet they are treating of. "Dairy Notes" form useful and profitable reading, a,nd The Mash Tub and the Milk Pail is full of valuable l.intg and informa- tion, The writer combats the theory tfcatit ^s t#e breed of the cow that influences the quality of the milk and not tho irod on which she is fed. He asserts that there is pot the l3aQow' of a doubt that watery food produces watery mjlk, I Vyintpr Care of Dairy Cows" well repay3 reading, and "Cheddar Chesse Making" is a capital contribu- tion. Indeed the articles relating to the farm are just those from which an agriculturist can most valuable information as to the treatment of his stock. The Literary Supplement is made £ s seasonable as possible, and opens wjth a striking portrait of the Marchioness of Headfort. The coloured illustrations are also excellent, that of "Richard n. resigning the crown to Bolingbroke" showing what the printer's art has attained to. Very pretty also, and well they daierva framing, are two reproductions of A J Elsey's "Here he comes," and "A Touch of Nature." The tone of them is soft and effective. There is so much that is good in the Quarterly" that it should have a phenomenal circulation. The editor de. egrves complimenting on his Christmas production

Artisans' Dwellings. TO THE EDITOR OF THE RHYL JOURNAL. SIR,—May I crave a brief space in your valuable paper to explain the slight mist ike I made at the recent gncjniry on the above subject as to the number of the houses y To post mpself up in the matter I called at the Council office a few days before the enquiry but un- fortunately f r me the clerk was absent, his deputy was engaged, and no one else could give me the least inform- ation. I therefore walked to the property via Grange Road and over the fields,as I dislike Vale Road and never go through it if I can possibly avoid it. Arrived in front of the block of stone buildings, which I found in a ruined and disgraceful condition, I proceeded to count the number of liousei. In the block I made five, and found two red brick houses adjoining. Examining the block I found that two were complete or entire houses,each having a passage right through from front to back. Three were merely tenements,'having only one entrance and one exit. They are are popularly known in Birmingham and other large cities where they exist in great numbers as Salt Boxes." I naturally concluded that the back of the pro- perty was a repetition of the front, but this I discovered subsequently was not [so, there being only two Salt Boxes" at the back instead of three. This reduced the number of houses in the block to seven, instead of eight as I counted them in the first instance. Adding ihe two red brick cottages further on in Victoria road,brought up the number in each case-ten in mine and nineaccording to fact, I completely lost sight of the two houses in Vale road, which I learned subsequently belonged to the ladies who owned the stone block and which wer3 includ- ed in the proposed purchase by the Council, making the correct total e'even. There was nothing whatever to indicate that they were in the purchase, as they were superior houses and gcould not (be considered in- sanitary in the least degree. What caused the Council to arrange to purchase them I can't imagine, as they do not enter into their scheme of improvement, and there is nothing in their rentals to tempt their purchase. One produces 4s lOd per week and the other 5s, these rents covering all rates and taxes. I understood one witness to say that the rents were 5s 6d each,'but this is incorrect. Both are in a very bad condition and require a good sum of money to be spent on them to put them in good order. It will be see a from this explanation that under the circumstances it was not an easy matter to arrive at the exact number of the houses, and I may remind all who were present at the enquiry that the Inspector, clever as he is, and assisted as I presume he was by the Clerk and his staff, was unable to count them, and only arrived at the correct number after a conference of some minutes' duration with the collector of the rents, Mr Wallis.-Yours faithfully, WILLIAM SILVESTER.

HOLYWELL. A Fussy Council. Sitting at the Holywell County Court on Tues- day, Sir Horatio Lloyd heard a case in which the Holywell Rural District Council sued Edward Williams, builder, Dyserth, for f5 damages for abstracting water from a pool vested in them and situate on the roadside at Caerwys. The case for the Council, as presented by Mr F Llewelyn Jones, was that the pool was used for watering the horses and cattle of the parishioners, and that the defendant, having made a contract to build some houses, abstracted large quantities of water for building operations, to the detriment of the parishioners, the pool being very low at the time. His Honour thought the District Council tright find something better to do than bring up such a trumpery case, and adjourned the case till the next court, and the Council to decide whether they desired to go further with the case. 0

XJ1L ijAUXao w* — There is a subject, Mr Editor, which is -t, the to be an exceedingly interesting one amongb feminine portion of society, to wit, the serv. 1 problem and it forms ground for many long anu confidential chats between mistresses. The discus- sion on the iniquities and shortcomings of Sarah Ann have given place in some degree to those on the impossibilities of finding Sarah Anns to find fault with For some years past it has been grow- ing more and more difficult for the average middle- class housekeeper to obtain suitable and reliable help, for in these emancipated days there are so many ways of earning a living possible to sensible, practical girls, that it is really no wonder that domestic service, with its present social stigma, and its restrictions, is growing less and less popu- lar. .¡, It is rather curious, in face of all the outcry as to the scarcity of competent helps," to read of a society for promoting the emigration of desirable young woman servants to Africa, and, more than that, providing a sort of training school for them, about 500 girls being sent out in as many months I have often wondered that training schools f 0; inexperienced girls were not more in evidence, for it is a fact that many a bright young girl dtifts into a wrong life for lack of a helping harJfj at a crucial period. But why this organised drawing of our most likely girls out of the cour,trv ? There are places in plenty for them in old England, and after all—" east or west, home is oest." There is a tendency nowadays to cultivate what is called the day servant," and some ladies advo- cate the system very strongly. But it seems to me there are very great objections to the plan in most cases. The girl is required to be steady, and to have her own home or a relative's home close at hand, for the usual wages will nothing like cover the expenses of lodging and partial board. Besides, there is the djacqisfort of going and coming in all feathers, on ^.he girls part, and on the mistress' side, the absence of her helper at busy periods, &c, the only advantage being the liberty the girl has after her stated hotlyq oj serviQ^ I rather fancy, sir, that if the "Golden Rule were put into real practice, muoh of the present difficulty would disappear like magic, for there would be a give-and-take" on both sides which would take away the sting of service. In many homes the servant is looked upon as an inferior being, whose aches, pains, and sorrows are her own affair (as long as she does her daily drudging). She ocoupies an isolated position, and is to some extent a prisoner in her kitchen. Alter this by taking a real and kindly interest in her, make a point o giving her an hour's freedom at least per day, and it will become an easier thing to obtain a help and to keep her, too. Qf pour^ej thera ard some black sheep to be reckoned with, but my own experience has been that when girls are treated considerately, there is not much difficulty in the matter. Besid s it is perhaps a wholesome discipline for over- exacting matrons to encounter some "gaps in the household staff, for practical work proves the tiring nature of it, and perhaps more sympathy and a truer understanding will result. Let us hope, however, that all our eligible lasses Wql no'. ¡ be vprrjpted by the g°Vden ofjers of service abroad, but will remember in time that increased wages mean increased expenditure in all ways.

DENBIGH. Warning to Workmen. At the Denbigh Borough Police Court Peter Roberts, stonemason, was summoned by George Henry Marshall, of West Smethwick, Birming- ham, contractor for the new County School buildings at Denbigh, for leaving his employment contrary to the terms of an agreement entered into by him. Mr Marshall also claimed from the defendant the sum of jM 4s. Id. as damages. Mr Moseley appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr J. B. Marston, Mold, for the detendant.-The evidence for the plaintiff was that on July 14 several bankermen in the employ of the plaintiff claimed an increase of wages, and threatened to strike work unless a concession was granted. The plain- tiff agreed to an advance of a halfpenny per hour on condition that the men signed an agree- ment to remain in his employment until the whole of the stonemasonry and dressings com- prised in his contract for the school was completed. Amongst those who signed this ageeement was the defendant. On the 26th of August the de- fendant packed his tools, gave the plaintiff an hour's notice, and left.—The defendant gave evidence to the effect the when he signed the agreement he did not know what was in it. He did not read it, because he had not got his spec- tacles at the time, neither was it read to him by the plaintiff. The latter told him distinctly at the time that the signing of the agreement was simply a matter of form.—The magistrates found for the plaintiff, assessed the damages at E2 14s 8d and allowed an advocate's fee of 10s.
