Gentlemen,—Some ten years ago my wife became ame with ulcerated legs.

After being in this state for etwixt five and six years, I determined to try you; Blood Mixture as a last resource, as she at that time appeared to be at death's door and had to be put to bed, having no use in her legs and I a.m thankful to say, a.fter taking 13 of your small bottles she experienced a perfect cure. This is now four years ago since the cure was effected, and there is no sign of the complaint returning. t may add that it had cost us scores of pounds trying one remedy after another previous to takfng your invaluable medicine, for which I return vou my sincere thanks.—I am. gentlemen, yours grate- fully, c.s.

Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow.

CARDIFF. AN UNWARRANTED ASSAULT. — Timothy Adams, 19, was chargsd on remand at the Cardiff Borough Police-court on Monday— before the stipendiary magistrate—with cutting and wounding Ellen Wallace on the thumb with a knife in Stanley-street. on the 30th ulfc. Ac- cording to the evidence of prosecutrix it appeared that prisoner found a woman named Sullivan quarrelhng with his mother, and ran at the first- named woman with a penknife. Wallace, who was standing by at the time, attampted to avert the blow and received a severe out in her thumb, for winch she was attended by the house-surgeon of the infirmary.—Accused was committed to take his trial at the ensuing quarter sessions. OBSTRUCTING THE POMCK.—YYtn. Sambers was fined £5 costs, or go to gaol for six weeks, for obstructing and assaulting P.C. George Evans in Bute-street on the 17th June. The officer had another man in custody, but to the inter- ference of Satnbers he escaped. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT.—Frederick Price was ent to prison for six weeks for an unprovoked assault 011 a stranger iiatned Clara Thomas. This lady said she was quietly walking down Green-street on Saturday afternoon, when the prisoner walked up and deliberately struck her in the face. He would have repeated tho blow had not she held up her basket to defend herself.

NEWPORT. A MIDNIGHT SCENE.—At the Newport Town- hall, on Monday—before Messrs T. P. Wansbrough and T. Cordey, magistrates— Fred Jewell, carpenter, 11, Raglan-street, was charged with being drunk and assaulting I Jenny Ponsonby. Shortly before midnight on Saturday Mrs Ponsonby, who is the wife of Mr A. H. Ponsonby, hairdresser, 31, Commercial-road, was passing down the street when she was accosted I and insulted by Jewell. Mrs Ponsonby returned to the shop and told her husband of what had occurred. Mr Ponsonby then went and taxed Jewell with the insulting conduct. Jewell denied the assault, and put him- self in a fighting attitude. The men closed together and several friends on each side inter- fered, and a general disturbance took place.—Mr G. H. Llewellyn for the defence, sought to show that his client bad only wished Mri3 Ponsonby good night," and that Mr Ponsonby first struck him.-P.C. Colborne, who apprehended Jewell, stated that he was drunk, but this was also denied.—The witness called for tho defence stated that he was walking in front of Jewell, and did not hellr what first took place between Jewell and Mrs Ponsonby; he heard Jewell say :—" I did not insult you, nv'am."—The Bench fined Jewell 40s, or one month's imprisonmant as the alternati v 1>. A FIREMAN'S STORY.—J. Fisher, a fireman, appeared to explain why his wife and children had been allowed to become chargeable to the New- port Union.—Mr G. H. Llewellyu, solicitor, now told the fireman's story. It appeared that Fisher returned from a voyage about five weeks ago, and went to his former abode in Duckpool-road only to find that his wife had removed and that the house was inhabited by other folks. Fisher was unable to discover the whereabouts of his family, and acquainted the police of his loss, Afterwards Fisher met his wife in the street. when she told him that she preferred her mother's lodger to hnn, and since then Fisher had not con- tributed towards the support of his family but prior to that he was allowing her 24s per week be was qjite willing to support his children. The wife now appeared, and it was stated that she had moved to Rudney-streek. She now stated that her husband had left her on three previous occasions. The magistrates told the wife that they were afraid that she was not conducting herself properly. To this the wife made no response. The Bench made an order for payment of the money, with costs, JB2 6s in all.

PENARTH. DRUNK AND DISORDERLY.—Jeremiah Lynch, a fireman, liviug at Penarth, was sent to prison for 14 days' hard labour without the option of a fine at Penarth Police-court on Monday for being drunk and disorderly in April, 1892. ASSALTING THE POLICE.-Mary Ann Nichol- son and Thomas Burnett were charged with assaulting Police-constable Shillum in the execution of his duty. It appears that the female was in Holton-road drunk and using filthy language on Saturday night, and the officer tried to put a stop to such conduct, when she increased the row, and kicked the officer three times in the leg. P.C. Williams assisted in taking the woman to the police-station, and on the way they were accosted by Burnett, who rushed on and took hold of Williams by the arm and said, That woman belongs to me you shall not take her." He also used abusive language, and both were safely lodged ab the police-cell.—Defendants were fined 5s and costs each.

CARMARTHEN. MORE ZKAL THAN DISCRETION.—At the Car. marthen Borough Police-court, on Monday, the presiding magistrate, Mr C. W. Jones, stated that the zeal of P.C. Davies, No. 4, had outrun his discretion in his rightful endeavour to detect Sunday drinking at the Saddlers' Arms on Sun- day, the 11th inst. John Griffiths, St. Catherine- street, and David Jones, Wood-row, were, it is true, found in the public-house by Davies and another policeman, but the explanation that the men went, t9\õbe inn solely to talk over business I matters with a young fellow who was mashing the landlady," who, by tho way, had not invited the defendants to the house. The charge ot being present on licensed premises was dismissed and after an able defence by Mr H. Brunei White, solicitor, the oharge- against Ann Williams for keeping her licensed premises pen for the sale of intaxicating drinks also fell through. ANOTHER RAID BY THE POLICE.—On the same day the police made a raid upon the premises of Mary Thomas, Union-hall, and two independent summonses wera issued, one for whisky-drinking and the other of beer-imbibing, both, it was alleged, having been taken within half-an-hour. Mr Acton Evans, sohcitor, applied for an adjournment, owing to the absence of witnesses, and the request was acceded to.

SWANSEA. ALLEGED ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.—At the Swansea Police-court on Monday, Clias. Morel), a hawker, aid to hail from Belfast, was charged with robblJ) with violence, from the person of Harry Davies, Is 8d, a muffler, and a tobacco- pouch, m Graig-place, on the 10th of March. —I roaecutor, who is au Artillery Volunteer, said he was going home late on the night in question when some men followed him, knocked him down, and rendered him unconscious. On coming round he saw prisoner standing over him with his tobacco-pouch in his hand, and in an attitude of striking him. When arrested prosecutor's muraor was found in his possession.—Prisoner was remanded for a week.

SIR JOHN PULESTON AND DU. HERBER EVANS. A correspondent having written to Sir J. H. Puleston, Bart., drawing his attention to tho recently published letter from the Rev. Dr. Herber Evans on the evils arising from the Church Establishment in Wales, has received a reply, in the course of which Sir John says :— Yes, I have read the letter of the Rev. Dr. Herber Evans. I can hardly be expected, as you seem to think, to concur in nl) he say. I certainly have not discovered that 'the land- owners arc becoming more and more embittered against Nonconformists.' On the contrary, my personal belief is that there is no such feeling of bitterness, and I believe further, that the evidence to be given before tho Land Com- mission (which I am glad has been appointed) will not show that Nonconformists weeded out from positions, farms, homes, &c.' Certainly the evidence so far given has not shown it. As a rule our opponents class landed proprietors as among the Church leaders,' and 1 cannot well see Church leaders mislead the landed proprietors and that I admit that the landed proprietors in Wales are Church leaders, many of them bein Nonconformists. Dr. Herber Evans says the Nonconformists detest the Romish teaching of many of our clergy in Wales,'but it is impossible to forge I; that, this statement notwithstanding, the Weisli Nonconformist ministers, including Dr. Herber Evans, unite in the support of the Romau Catholic bishops and priests in Ireland, and in bitter opposition to the practically unanimous prayers of Irish Protestants of every name. Against the Nonconformist ministers of Wales I have never raised my voice, and I have often dwelt on what we owe to the godly men amongss them who have done~so much for religious work in the Principaiity; and for Dr. Herber Evans personally I have every respect. He is to be honoured, too, for the fact that at the last election he was able to advocate the cause of his own party without resorting to personal attacks. There is one point in Dr. Evans's letter which should be specially noted. He says, They (the landowners) think, and are taught by the clergy, that once Disestablishment is carried, the land must go next.' Surely it is not the clergy, but the leaders of Dr. Herber Evans's own party, who are the authority for this plan of campaign. I am glad, however, to infer thM so distinguished a member of that party as Dr. Herber iivans dissociates himself from this new I phase of spoliation."

YSTRAD. THE ALLEGED FRAUB BY A COLLIER.—At the Ystrad Police-court on Monday—before Mr Ignatius Williams and Mr T. P. Jenkins—Howell 1?rancis, collier, employed at the Cambrian Col- nery.Clydach Vale,wascharged with alteringapay ticket to obtain money belonging to the company Mr Spowart (Messrs Morgan, Rhys, and Bruce), Pontypridd, defended. Tho particulars of the case have already appeared. — The learned stipendiary remarked that although the bonch WMe inclined to believo that the prisoner had altered the document, they were r.f opinion that a jury would not convict.

A BIG FEE FOR A CONDUCTOR. According to the German papers Herr Moltl, who was expected here this year to direct the German operas—a duty which has uow been under- taken by Herr Emil Steinbach-hils accepted the post of conductor of the Boston Symphony Orcnestra. It is reported that the salary to be paid is £3,000 for the season of about six months, a far higher fee of course than any conductor is likely to receive in Germany. The Boston con- ductoiVmp. which some years since was held by Mr Heuschftl, was offered first to Dr nicbter,and afterwards to Herr Wemgartner, of Berlin, but both were prevented by their engagements from accepting.

Mon Evans, &c., &c, MAINTENANCE OF LUNATIC (Expense.s).-The heir or next-of-kin of the lunatic ought to have taken the task of burying hev, but we think you are clearly entitled to a reasonable snm out of her estate. The question of maintenance is different. W 6 presume that you received the income of the deceased what- ever it was, while you kept her, ami you will have to show that you spent more than that on neces- saries before you can recover anything. PLEDGE (Appias).—it seems hard to say that where a person pawns watch which lie has on the hire pur. chase system, the pawnbroker is responsible for the watch throughout irs future existence. The ri<*ht of the owner is to his watch simply, and if the pawn- broker has parted with it again in a lawful way by sale, the owner must go on to the person who has now acquired the watch. Of course if the pawn- broker has any balance iu hand, after repaying lii-n. self loan and interest, that balance beloiWs to the owner of the watch, bat the pawnbroker sSouid not part with it without :\n indemnity, ys otherwise the owner might take this money and still go on after his watch. THE LAW'S DELAY (Griffith).-It is certainly rather un. accountable that your solicitor should have kept. you waiting for two years for his account, as th one tiling to which tho lavv*;i delay does not usually ex- tend is the collection of the law's fees. You ask "if he can demand interest on the sum you owe him. We answer that there are 110 known limits to what a practitioner can demand, but we do not think he will. He certainly will not get it. Keally, your anxiety to discharge your debt is very praiseworthy besides being very rare.andit may weilhave wrought a miracle in the solicitor's breast, inducing him to forego his demand altogether. GUARANTEE (Alleged Constant Reader).—A guarantor who has signed a guarantee with a clause reserving tho right to withdraw when he pleases may. withdraw at any moment by notice to the creditor to whom he gave the guarantee. But, of course, he remains liable for the debt outstanding at the time when he so withdraws, though not tor debts subsequently incurred. We do not understand vou when you first say A made an assignment," then later on the assignment not having been com- pleted." The two statements are contradictory, but the law, as above stated, is not altered bv incunrlcte assignment-

THE LAND QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—I have read with much interest the valu- able leading article that appears in your issue of Saturday unoer the title cf The Next Move." It is, indeed, becoming increasingly evident day by day that the evils arising from the existing system cf land ownership in England cannot much longer be ignored. The great increase in the population, and its transfer from the rural districts into our large towns, and the decay of our agricultural industries, are all proof of the necessity of a change in the present system. The principle of land nationalisation is, I fully believe, correct. That which is necessary for human existence should not be within the absolute control of private individuals. As well may the landowner control the air we breathe as the ground upoa which we tread, for one is as indis- pensable as the other. But land nationalisation is too big a thing to touch, at any rate, except under gradual measures leading up to that object, and based upon the same principle. But land municipalization is practical, and if adopted under full and adequate powers would go very far towards removing the evils from which we are now suffering. Such powers would be the affording to local elected bodies, such as the corporations in towns and the county councils in the country, the absolute and undoubted right to obtain land as and when they might deein fit, paying for the tame such a price M might- be determined by arbitration or by land courts estab, lished for the purpose. It is .&sy to shew the value and far-reaching effects that would follow the acquisition of such powers by tho bodies indicated. For example, I have heard cf a town admirably fitted for the establishment cf cloth manufactories. Tho people all want them, but the available sites are all held by two land- owners, and neither will let or sell for the pur- pose. Thus the cloth manufactories caunot be put up, notwithstanding that there are parties with ample means quite ready to establish them. But if the corporation of that town possessed the powers I have named, the promoters of the manufactories would simply have to go to them and offer a fair and adequate rent for the site required, and the corporation would have it in their power to go to the landowner and say, We want that piece of land," and he would be obliged to sell, recoiving, however, what an impartial tribunal would decide to be a fair value. The same remarks apply te the extensicn of towns. A wise corporation would purchase the land round the town they represent, if they saw that it was likely to be built upon, and the enhanced rental would accrue to the people, and not, as now, to landowners, who have, perhaps, neither toiled nor spun nor laid out one penny themselves upon land that the labour aud outlay of others have alone made valuable. Again, a road is required to ituoh from place to place. It may, indeed, be partly made, but on reaching the land of some one of the petty tyrants who hold it, he says, "you must go no further," and the road stops and thousands are incon- venienced through tho caprice of one indi- vidual. I am not writing of a supposititious case. I fancy a properly-elected county council, with the powers I have named, would soon make shurt work of such a gentleman. He would get what might be his due, and the people would get their road. But I need not go on reciting examples. A little thought will show any one how wide and iar-reaching would be the etfecbs of the measure I have alluded to; but the powers granted must be full and uncontined within the lines indic&ted. They would dispense with the necessity and vase expense of obtaining Acts of Parliament, and would be the means of securing land for small allotment?, so greatly needed in many of our rural distriots. Such powers would break the neck of land monopoly, and be a great advance in the desired direction.—I am, &c., C. H. PERKINS. Swansea, 17th June, 1893.

JOHN PENRY AND THE BAPTISTS OF OLCHON. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—"History" says. J. Howells I do not know." It is well that "History" is conscious that there is one thing he does not know. Taking compassion on the historical ignorance of History," permit me to inform him that John Howells was the pastor of Olchon Baptist Church 15 years, and that in 1886 lie published a book entitled, The History of the Old Baptist I Church at Olchon," in which he siate?, "There is good reason to believe that a Baptist church existed at Olchon at a very early date. Accord- ing to the traditions of the place the church there is 500 years old. Tombstones have been dug up in the burial-ground belonging to the church bearing date 1387. How long the church had been then in existence there are no rocJords to testify. Sir John Oidcastle lived 111 the neighbourhood, and worshipped with the Baptists as early as the year 1391. ("Bishop r.f Bala, page 11.) There were many Baptists in Olchon in Queen Mary'3 reign. Some of them endured painful imprisonment. Some passed to heaven through the fire." "Names of ministers of Olchon Church Mr John Penry died 1593, "John Penry, M.A.. who laboured, suffered, and died, testifymg to the truth as it is in Jesus." Joshua Thomas, "History of Welsh Baptists," p. 134. The Rev. Joshua Thomas, the indefatigable author of "The History of Baptists in Wale?," was the settled minister of the church at Olchon from 1756 to 175,t I have endeavoured to crack this nut for "History," who says he has many more, and some of them are very hard." See- ing the sample nut I have cracked for History" is so very bad, I must now leave him to crack the remainder of his" very hard" nuts himself, as I fear, after they are cracked, thoy will prove to be equally valueless.

JOHN PENRY-HISTORY UNH1S- TORICAL. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—A writer who calls himself History in your issue of last Saturday, for some purpose or other, makes several references to me as the writer of an article whioh appeared in Seren GQmer in 1855. In this the writer, though calling himself "History," is quite unhistorical. I am not the Rev. E. Roberts, late of Bethel, Monmouth am not the writer of the article he refers to neither have I any recollection of having ever heard of it. Whether the said article is correct in calling the Baptist Church, formed by Roger Williams in America, the second Baptist Church in the British Empire," I have no time at present to ascertain but "History" is completely unhistOl-ical if lIe means to convey tho idea that there were no Bap- tists in the British Empire long before the period he refers to for true history proves that Ana- baptists were subjected to severe persecution, and that several lawswereenacted against them many years before that date. The controversy whether John Penry was a Baptist or not I leave between History and Mr B. Davies, of Pontypridd," to decide. But to say that he belonged to the Indepondants is unhistorical, for the sufficient reason that that body had no existence at the time. Some of the principles held by that de- nomination were believed and taught by indi- viduafs in early times hut the author of Laws Relating to Religious Liberty and Public Worship," page 28, himself an ad vocateof Congregationalism, says:—" About the year 1530 arose one Roberts Brown, who became the enunciator of tho&e principles, the founder of a new sect." This was 42 years after Roger Williams formed the first Baptist Church in America, and, as it is be- lieved, the second in the British Empire." "History" seems to believe that anahaptisl meatlis one who does not baptise children," or is not in favour of infant baptism." But here again he is at fault. The definition given by the best lexicographers is, "Anabaptist, from the Greek ana, and baptiuin, to baptise;" abaptisfer, again, one who baptises on a profession of faith those who had been previously baptised in in- fancy. Whatever may be said of Tegai, Mr Spurgeon was an anabaptist in the true house of the wo d. History" says that "Spurgeon was a free communionist." This is not strictly true history. Free communion Baptists receive to communion members cf other denominations for any length of time, but Mr Spurgeon only received them two or three times. If they did not become Baptists m the meantime, they had to seek communion elsewhere. It pains me to find "History" writing so 1 slightingly of baptism ia the postscript to hit letter. Here are his words: "So particular about | water—about trifles. Our Jives are too short to quarrel about water." If this is so, why not coase from the practice of baptism ? History must know that Baptists administer the ordin- ance to fewer numbers than any other denomina- tion except the Quakers. Baptists only admit accredited believers to baptism other denomina- t'ons administer it to all the children of believers others to all nations, and never decline to baptise any children brought to them for that purpose. John was divinely sent to baptise, and Christian baptism was instituted by Christ himself after all power was given to Him; and yet "History" dares to call it trifles. Surely to call it so is extreme presumption if not stark blasphemv.—I am, &e., EDWARD ROBERTS. Pontypridd, June 19th, 1895.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. [FROM MARK LANE EXPRESS."] In the South of England wheat is a thin, short plant, extremely forward as regards development of the ear, but already showing loss of colour in the fiag. In East Anglia the good farming of much land has its reward this seasou, and a considerable area of^wheat land is of excellent pro- mise. This is especially the case where, in the neighbourhood of the broads and fens, water is not scarce, and also where in the spring the crops were top-dressed with suitable manure. Many fields so placed and treated should be ripe for the sickle in a month. In Scotland, too, the wheat is wonderfully forward and promising, and is now in full ear as far north as Aberdeen, but of the rest of the country, the Midlands, the West, and the holdings of poorer and Jess capable farmers in the East and South (probably two-thirds of the I whole acreage) 110 good words can be said. The strain of the season has already been too much for the plant, and a full yield is not possible. The above remarks apply to grain only. The straw will 1 be short and brittle everywhere. We hear that several thousands of acres were sown with barley I within the present month, an almost unprece- dented occurrence, hut due to a good local rainfall in the last week of May. Spring corn is very irregular all over England. Peas and barley are less uniformly discouraging than oats and beans. It is probable that oats will be a big yield in Scotland and in parts of the Feus. With regard to trade, Engiih wheats have nol; changed in price, but foreign declined sixpence. This week, however, opens firmer. The spring corn trade has shown out of thirty leading markets seventeen dearer for barley, nineteen for oats. bean. and peas, and sixteen for maize. :r_

A WEALTHY PEDLAR, David Jenkins died very suddenly at the Swansea Castle, Water-street, Carmarthen, 011 Sunday evening. Fiftcsn of his 60 summers had ueen spent in America, and when he returned to his native country, he for a long period went from parish to parish with tapeil and ribbons and a variety of other inexpensive articles. He was It well-known pedlar for Carmarthenshire," and few people dreamt that he could lay elaim to any. thing beyond the small profits accruing from the sale of his miscellaneous wares. However, after his demise, which was due to heart disease, notes of hand, which will realise £400, and a post-office savings' bank book representing £70 to his credit, were iound among his possessions. He was never married, but he has relatives at Talog, near Carmarthen, who, being pooriy circumstanced, may divide what David anticipated to enjoy in his old age. The deceased was attended 80me six times by Dr. Bowsu Jone", Carmarthen, prior to his death, and consequently there will be no inquest.

AMUSING DIVORCE CASE. In the Divorce Court on Saturday Justice Barnes resumed the hearing of the case of Towns- hend v. Townsiiend, which was a petition by Mrs Susannah Townshend for a dissolution of her marriage on the grounds of the cruelty and adultery of her huuand, Frederick Townshend, a dock foreman at the London Docks, and living atDulwich. The respondent denied the charges. -011 behalf ot the petitioner it was stated that her husband bad pinched her, knocked her down, tiirown books at her, and had held a razor at her neck, threaten- ing to murder her. She also stated that one night in Juue, 1892, her husband came home smelling strongly ci scent, and, in reply to her questions, he said he had been to an opium traffic meeting in Exeter HaJJ, and had washed his hands with scented soap, She, however, dis- covered a card in his pocket on which was the nddress of no lady in Dulw\oh. Inquiries were instituted, with the result that the respondent was seen seated on a sofa in a house in Barry-road, Dulwich, with .his ann von'.id a young lady's Waist. The petitioner's father accused the respon- dent or miscouduct, and the latter replied that he must have been in drink at the time.—A private detective deposed that he had seen the respondent to go into the house alluded to. Wit- ness afterwards looked through the front room window by climbing upon the railings, and saw tbe respondent and a lady seated on a sofa. Tlie respondent had his arms round the lady's waist. —The respondent denied that he had ever ill-used his wife, or that ho had committed adultery. He said his wife had so many fads. and wanted to be both master and mistress of the house, that lie had to assert his rights, with the result that there were several little quarrels, but nothing more. He admitted that he had been in the house of woman at Barry-road. Dulwich but nothing improper took place. His wife used to object to the shape of his feet—(laughter)—and his hair was never cut to her satisfaction. She had also objected to his upper lip. (Laughter.)—In cross-examination, tlw respondent said that according to Professor Fowlor, who had examined both his and his wife's head, his wife had very strong imaginations, and always looked at things at the darkest side. Witness there- fore put her evidence down as imagina- tion. The phrenologist had told him (respond&nt) that he had faults, but not trany. and that the principal fault was that he did not think enough of himself. (Laughter.) If he did not clean the knives when the servant was away his wife would get aDry. (Laughter.) If he did not agra. with her idea of the sermon preached at church there would be a row. (Laughter.)—ChristianMcVeigh said she wa. now living with Miss Salmon. In October, 1892, she and Misa Salmon met the respondent at Dulwich. He went home with her, but stayed only a tew minutes. He did net tms- conduot himself with her.—In cross-examination witness admitted that gentlemen had visited her, and immoral relations had taken place.—The case was adjourned.

ACTOR'S SUPERSTITIONS. Actors are the most superstitious of people, says an American contemporary. You can scarcely enter a single dressing-room without finding a horseshoe 111 a, most prominent position, and as the actor moves to and fro, so will he carry this lucky symbol with him. He wears talismans, which, of course, are hidden from view but iu the matter ot stage supersu- tutions it would be hard to beat that which is in vogue at every theatre during the rehearsal of a play, be it new or old. The last three or four words of a now production are never spoken during the period of the rehearsal of the piece most frequently they are never written by the author. The soperstitution of the theatrical world is that it would be certain to bring bad j luck to the piece if the last words wero pro- nounced on the stage before the first night. Bui as the play must have an end and it should be known to all present that it is at au end. the actor or uctress entrusted with the laat lines usually add a word or two of their own. Some- times it ends m this fashion :—" And now fare- well. All is happily settled. I can now return home and weicome."

I THE WELSH PRESS. [BT RHYDYCHEINWR."] THE IRISH PARTY. Disunion seems to be the bane of the Celt. The recent little storm in the Irish party is much regretted on all sides. The London corres- pondent of the JBaner says "Of all the un- fortunate parties in the world the Irish party is the most unfortunate. Seven times, yea, seven times seven some rock of offence (generally created by the party itself) has arisen to check the fruition of their hopes. We need not go back to the Phcenix Park murders, or even in the later period to the fall of Mr Parnell to justify this statement. Twice at least during this Session has the Parliamentary parly, and through it, the Irish cause, received a severe blow. The one and the other camefrom their own camp. Through the villainous hatred of one who was formerly a colleague, Mr Michael Davitt, one of tlif, most honest and the most pure politicians which Ireland has ever seeu, was unseated. Now a blow has been dealt at Mr Sexton, who is not only one of the leading speakers in the House of Commons, but who is also one of the few mem- bers who have thoroughly mastered the details of the Home Rule Bili, and especially the financial I' sections of it." Eynon" (the Rev. T. Eynon Davies, Glasgow) will henceforth act 4s the Parliamentary correspondent of the Celt, and his column "Above the Clock" receives the placo of honour in that paper. "Eynon," although he will presumably not: aliandon the important pastorship he holds in Glasgow, is peculiarly well qualified to write weekly jottings on politics. He resided for inany years in London, as mimster f one of the leading Congregational churches there, and has always paid special attention to polities. His style is crisp, racy, and vigorous. This is what lie says of the litlte disagreement in the Irish party Just now tho Irish house is house divided against itself. Like the 'foolish Galatians,' disunion has been their curse and that of the Welsh. At last He;dv and Sexton's old quarrel has developed into a regular muddle (wedi myned yn ilraed vioch o r diivedd). The cloud has been hanging for years, and has broken at last, Mr Sexton is the most eloquent of the Irish members, and there are not halt-a-dozen people in the House who can command a hearing as he can. Healy, too, is a tremendously able creature, and he knows hew to deal with Joseph Chamberlain better than anybody. There is much rejoicing in the Tory camp, but it will be short-lived, for order will soon be restored in the Irish ranks." "CISIHU" AND "CYMRU'R PLANT." With thO" present number the fourth volume of Mr Owen Edwards' popular magazine CDtnes to an end. The periodical is constantly gathering strength, energy, and variety M it goes on. The editor, in his preface to this last volume, writes: "I shall attempt to make the fifth volume, which will begin with t.he next number, fresher, richer, and more interesting than the first four volumes. I have resolved to nJake it, in letter- press aud illustrations, such a one as need not blush m the presence of the periodicals of other nations. All our proBts, and perhaps more, will be spent on the illustrations. Some day I and those who help me will be paid for our hard work, but up to the present I have spent much more than I have gained.

In this number Mr Edwards tell-, the story of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, whom Professor Freeman describes as the hist British chief whose namo was really terrible to Si-.xoii ears." After a triumphant career this Welsh prince feil by the treachery of his own men in 1063. Mr Edward Edward", the editor's brother (who is notv history lecturer at Aberystwyth College), describes the career of a more modern Welsh hero, a hero who is too little known to his compatriots—Robert Owen, the philanthropist and commuuist. The late Mr J. C, Edwards' (of Seaccmbe) concluding article on t, Gwilym U;r¡¡ethog" appears in the same number, whIle two tunes are contributed by another Edwards—the Rev. Ellis Edwards, M.A., Y Bala. The editor's speech betrayeth hint in two anonymous contributions—that on Joseph Harris (Govier) and Seren Gomer, of which Ualedfryn sanr,- Ernes a roes o ddiwrnod Mawr eiddawn an Gymru i ddod," y and that on "Y Gerddi Blnog," the home of Archdeacon Edmund Prys, the translator of the Psalms into Welsh. The latter article well brings out Mr Edwards' characteristics of style. lie writes of tho emotions produced by mountains and cascades, not, as Mocatilay said of Burke in the style ot a Parliamentary report, but in the most fervid and brilliant language of romance. He is emphatically what Ceinog describes as Mab y Mynydd," a son of the mouuta n. In all his writings, moreover, one can trace a con- stant effort te. make himself intelligible to the meanest capacity. He love to daz-,Ie, but abov" everything he is anxious to be understood. In this he pre-eminently succeeds, and that for many reasons. For one thing he seldom meddles with abstruse problems. He does not, like J) Quincey, for instance, delight to match his tn. genuity against difficulties he does 110 choose a subject because it has baffled everybody else his pleasure is to do brilliantly what everybody can do in a manner. He writes short descriptive sketches of visits to tile-liomes of great Welshmen i the-se are so perspicuous and clear that they seem to be the work of one who can write only in thf) simplest language but it is their perspicuity and clearness that is their charm.—Cyw.ru'r Plant is an edition ei Cymru in miniature, and is now specially meant for children in elementary schùoJ which take up tho study of Welsh. The story of Grulfydd ap Llewelyn is told with even more Fmmiicity than in Cyrnn 1; tales from the Mab nogion are given in modern Welsh stories of birds, flowers, and herot-sare related and that peculiarly charming Welsh air, "Yy Eneth Jdalt" has been arranged for four voices by the ninsical editor.

THE CHURCHES. Mr W. Glasnant Jones, ot Gwynfryn ^School, has received a unanimous call to the pastorate 01 Pwll Congregational Church, near Llanelly. The following changes have occurred in tht Congregational churches:—The Rev. E. B. Mahon, of Yorkshire College, has entered upon the charge of Skene-street Church, Aberdeen j the Rev. Evans, of Bangor College, bar become pastor of Salem Church, Merthyr; the Rev. Kenneth Mackenzie, of Kirkwall, N.B., has accepted the charge of Tintwistle Church, Manchester; the Rev. E.
