It is now thcught that the War Office has abandoned the desitm of uniting the Cameronian Highlanders with the Scots Guatds. TRUTH says A speecti delivered by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Salford at a temper an meeting at Ashton-under-Lyne was so sensible and moderate that Itleserves notice The Bishop suggested that whilst Strang beers should be taxed, the sale of light beers not above a certain minimum strength should be encouragod by being freed from duty. This is a doctrine that I have always preached. It is indeed a. pity that more temperance reformers are not as reasonable and as practical as the BUlhop of Salford." A large measure of the success of the Golden Sun- light Ale may be attributed to the fact that it is brewed on these lines, and will compare in,vour. ably with the ordinary high coloured, strong, heady ales. It is brewed from malt prepared from tho finest Herefordshire barley, and most delicately flavoured with hops, called" Wo r'sters,5 but really grown in the rich fertile valleys of Herefordshire. Messrs Watkins and Son, of tho Hereford Brewery, aro the only brewers of this famous ale, and it is sold by over 200 agentsiu the Norta, South, East, and West of the British Isles.

THE EMPIRE. A pecial effort has been made by the man ,ag ment of this hall to interest and amuse to. ;ir patrons during The orchesf ,ra. have been preparing for the occasion, and oj i-n the performance with a taking overture, er.t ,iv led "Empire Echoes," which lias been speiii ally arranged by Air W. Burgess, the faleuted con- ductor. As may be ga,ttieivd from the title bt is a pot pourri of the most popular melodies I the season. Aliss Polly Cnsick sings of the wrc'a gs of Ireland v. itii as much suocews as of yore, and Will Gilbert," the negro comedian, w screams of laughter by his iniwtable stump oration. Me-srs .Marco and Athol also give a novel and interusting perforat lanqe, entitled the Lizard's Nest and the jopical singer St. Clair hits oue or two things to say in verse which enlist at once the sympathy of his audience. The chief item of the proi3 amme however, is the masquerade han, in w];) ich the Fixer and his team play a prominent part, and in which the ladies of the ballet make thei) debut. The latter introduce a new dance, which affords ample opportunity fir the display of some picturesque Chinese costumes. Son»< extra o dinary feats o equilibrium are perf01 nied by Mr Edward E.arle, and the vocal cc imedians (Messrs 0 Connor and Trayimr)! thro* a good ileal of apprecia1)le energy into the two < character songs they contribute. The entertaini nent, on the whole, is one that will commend itself to Christmas pleasure seekers. I

THE PHILHARMONIC. Though Mr Sheridan, the genial 11 mnager of the S. Alary .street Hall, will not open his special Christmas Show until next week, thi; Philhar- monic will, doubtless, meet with extensive patronage during the remainder of the present company's stay The bill is of a v.f':Ied character —just th" show for holiday-makers, and the artistes, taken together, are a lot dniicvdt to beat, when it is considered that the cream of the music- hall talent, engaged in tbe legitim at4) business, finds its way into the many pantomimes through- out the country. Oeeanus, the cle-vei- scientific swimmer, who created so gdod an impression last week, gives a novel eittertaiiiiii eiii and the shooting feats of Miami should not be; missed- they are the best sePIl in this district for years. Professor Bali vard's iensorama is superior to the class of lanterns usually seen in such places. Beaumont and Alitciiell sdve a. series of refined and original sketches. Miss Kal.e McCoy and Aliss Maggie Spiers, the Flirt," vocalists, con- tribute not a little to the attractiveness of the programme and with Mr J. P Gill, vocalist and dancer, and Air Harry Sinclair make up a most enjoyable evening.
