"Eontrou gtomapouttcuce. I
Eontrou gtomapouttcuce. Society has been considerably excitod by the an- nouncement of the approaching marriage of Lord Brassey. The noble iord is iiity-thrfe, aud his pro- spective bride thirty-two. It is nearly two years since Lady Brassey died, and Lord Brassey is so much devoted to family and dojntijtic life that it is net surprising that he should marr* a second time. The Bishop of Salisbury now always retains at the palace tha prasuuca oi some three or four un- beneficed clergJrnoll who life abia to go out at a. momeut's notice to a pariah where the vicar is taken ill or where a mission is to be preached-iu iact at this very moment the historic parish of George Herbert at JjreuierUn, to which the new rector has not bcou inducted, is being served by a clergyman from the palace, about tiVO miles distant. The Bishop has also tLo seivices of a barrister, who acts as his private secteiary and legal adviaar in the diocese. Sir Guyer Huntor's committee on the London -water question is going to visit. Glasgow and Man- chester, t'J inspect the waterworks ill those towns., It wiil take no evidence, but will invite one or two prominent officials from each place to iavour them with their views, after the vacation. The next point to which the committee will direct attention is the adequacy of the present supply. Souio strong evi- dence, lhear, is likely to be given by experts, show- ing that in a very law years, owing to the enormous growth of London population, the present supply most be inadequate. 4t A marked improvement in the state of Ireland, 130, far as agrarian cniue is eoueerucd, is shown by the official returns for the quarter which ended ou tho 30th of ladt month. Not a single case of murder or manslaughter was reported, iiiere were four in- stances, all in Munster, of tiring' at the person, three of aggravated assault, three of assault endangering life, oue of assault on the police, teu of iucendiary fires, one of burglary, lour d cattla stealing, three of killing or maiming cattle, sixty-three of intimi- dation (mainly by Luren tClJilJg letters or notices), fifteen of injury to property, and fourteen of firing iuto dwellings. *.i The 2ud Grenadior Guaids are not so cheerful this -week as they wore last. Somebody told them that they irere auout to be de»pa!h».d to Natal, and they wero ready to bear their punishment, glndiy. They ■welcomed a change which whidJ. would give thema,sou. voyage and a taste oi tiouth African lite. Dut they are not so cheerful on learning thai limy are to bo despatched to tho Bermudas. These isiauutj are not exactly at- tractive to inea who havtJ in nd in the very heart of London. Aa the largest island is only 11 miles long aDd contaius only 9,000 acres, and there are no hills, aud the population numbers leBS than 16,000, more than h-ilf of whom are scattered, and the chiof: town is small, our crack corps is not happy at the prospect of spending throe years on areof. Had they been despatched to Natal, the Guards would not have been punished. Sent to Bermudus, they will feel the sentenco passed upon them as though it were ode of banishment. 9 Sir F. Burton appears to have acquired an old muster for the National Gaiiai y at a remarkably low price. One of the works put up to auction at Christie's was doseribed as a (Jorreggio—the head og of a woman—which, it was said, had beea cutj from the wall of a chapel at Parma. On tho hack of the picture, however, there was pasted a letter eigned by Benjamin West, written in Kswmim Street, stating that it was taken from the dilapidated fragments of a small room painted by Co i reg; jio in the old palace in the garden at Pairna, which was pulled down when West .was on his way from Rome in 1703. Tiiis was the small head in fi-e ';co which tha iiarl of Mulgrave bought in the sale of Mr. GrevilVs collection in 1820 for £ 91 iOa., and it now eold for only X5 5s. A veri- table Correggio at this figure ccmpouaates foe some of the very costly purchases which have of late been the vogue. But perhaps its condition duea not warrant a highor price. « It is a sign of the decadence of season when wo find a paper like the Sjpcstator tutting from politics to discuss in a philosophical spirit the new stylo of shaking hands. It i3 not new, of course, except in the newspupers and the surprise is that it has not come up ior discussion before. The old style of uhak- ing hands, with smart people, is quite out. AVhea two members of this claes, or of the far more numerous class that imitates them, meet eaoh other, they go through a ceremony which certainly bears a laint resemblance to that ofshaklug hands, but is in all real essentials absolutely different. The lady lilts her elbow as high as a tight sleeve will pormit her, and dangles a littlo hand before her face, carefully keeping the wrist as stiff and as high as possible, while she allows the fingers to droop down. The man contrives to Hit his eibow a little higher, aud, by a dexterous turu r f the wrist, touchys her ringers—that is ail. That is the whole ceremony L ut. it is a ceremony that requires a good deal of practice, and the only question wcrthfttiKtug is whether it is werth all the tronbia that: it invuivea. **•' Sir Richard who has just died in Paris, has Appeared inaction, uuvler moro or less transparent di^guisOM, moio than once, lie was Thackeray's Marquis of fcteyne, and Mr, Disraeli satirised hrn iii loa youthful novels severely, but also more kindly in the lust work that, fell trom his pen. bir Il'iciuud luhmiie.l many of the abilities and all the urt cutbuMMUiis of tho old iUarquij oi Hertlord. tie w..s constiiuif.d tLe hoir of that famous voluptuary, IHlÚ added enormously to the cdloctiouli wtiii.ii hi* lathbr made. Sir Richard, however, was not a voluptuary, but a philanthropist. In politics a CouKervutivo, lIe sat for some time in i'u:Ir liioat, bat jn.ue no figure there, which is not fin: pi icing, an 110 preferred Paii* to London. To London, it is true, I o practically gave the Bethnal Green Museum, by exhibiting his art trea- sures in tbe Last End. But ho supplied Paris with diinkiiig louutniua aud pure spring water, and while ha lived there was always ready with his charities to Lugiisti residents, lie had the inagniiiceuco of bis laihor, with more Ihuu his gentleness and none of Lis vices. Sir Richard manied a i<'r iicii lady, but i believe had no issue. His baronet y therefore die.) wnb hnn, and it is not yet known what becomes of his enormous wealth. « Although Lord George Hamilton has settled tho coudiiiuu-of-iUe-navy question for several years to como, lie ims yet to remove tho grievances of an iIn- portaut branch of the service. The engineer officers complain that they aro paid at a lower rate aud | racked below Other ;oliiccrs in the serviue..Fo! twbuty yea;3 past every attempt made by the' engineers to better thoir position has been repressed1 by thiJ executive officers of tho fleet. It ia a con- tiuuatiou of the struggle between sail and stenm. I bailing is extinct, but officers trained under the sail j are apt to look upou engineers as if they were part of the ship's machinery. The engineers compiain I of their classification "with but after." This; humorously inapt iden is one of the triumphs of de- paitmoutai circumlocution. An engineer officer' classed as lieutenant has to rank after all the execa- tive lieutenants of similar classification. he haai tho rank but not its privilege. It happens some- timeo that an eugiuoor lieutenant of several years' standing has to take rank behind an executive lieutenant who has not been on shipboard five minutes. The engineers want this illusory classifi- cation dono away with. They wish either to be officers ia reality, or not at, all. *• Tho satisfaction which every Londouor has fait at having obtained Homo Ruie ior his city comes to be -very much qualilied when he has to consider tha cost of it. The County Council's new Money Bill, backed by Mr. Jackson and the Chancellor of tha exchequer, has been delivered. It gives new borrow- ing powers amouuting to £ 1,226,000. Of the specjfic pu.posea for which the sum is authorised, £ 50,000 is to be spent on tlio lire brigade, £ 45,000 ou parks aud open spaces, 18,000 on bridges, JE2,500 for tho old artizaus' dwellings scheme, X20,000 for buildiug houses under the recent Acts, and £ 15,000 for pro- viding common lodging houses. A large proportion is given for stieut improvements. Money is to be raised for the Strand improve- ment, though it is understood that it is for the time abandoned. A memorandum issued with the Bill reveals to the Londouor the Bad fact that whereaa in lcol his rating was 5-88 penoo in tho riound. in lc>l;l it ia ponce iu tho pound, aud ou a much higher rateable value. Since 1888 it has been going up about 2d. in the pound per year with al- arming regularity. Against this, however, a deduo- tion of 2*59d. has to be aeoounted for the absorption of the old county rate and part of the contribution to the maintenance of iudoor paupers.

THE BELGIAN FETES.
THE BELGIAN FETES. The 25th anniversary of King Leopold's accession has been celebrated with great rejoicing. At nine o'clock salvos of the artillery of the Civil Guards announced the commencement of the anniversary. Shortly afterwards a procession, of rifiemeu passed through the streets with musi", aud flairs. They were welcomed on the Grande Place by the Burgo- master and the Aldermen, and all onterod the Town Hall, where tha prizes were presented to tho suc- cessful competitors in the annual shooting matches. Meanwhile, in tha Palace du Cinquautenaire another distribution of prizes, in the name of the Govern- ment took place, to those who have distinguished themselves by feats of courage andactsofself-abnega tion. Another cortege started at eleven o'clock from the Boulevard Anspach to the Grande Place. An International festival of Musical Societies commenced at two o'clock, iu various public places L, in the presence of crowded audiences. The town was very lively; nor were the outskirts leas so" especially near the Canal of Villebrock where Inter- national rowing and yachting matches took place. For these races the Directors of the Grand Hotel andj the city had offered valuable challenge cups. On: the part of the Government andj tho Municipal authorities the solemnities of the day comrueuced at two o'clock with a l'e Dcum by Peter Btmoit, thE I greatest Belgian composer, in the Cathedral of Ste.1 Galude. The King and Queen and all the meuiberf ot the Royal family were present, and were loudly! cheered on their way to and from the church.! Ou leaving the Cathedral, they proceeded to the Palace Square, whore, at four o'clock, addressee df congratulation and thanks were presented tc his Majesty by the members of both Houses oil Parliamant, in the presence of, and in the i.ame of the great State Institution, and by the Judges and Magistrates. A platform, with nearly three thousand seats, was erected there by M. Satuayu, a work of great decorative art, which cost! seventy thousand francs. A series of national songs: and a cantata composed by M. Alfred Tilman, on the hymn of Atoino Clasje, "Union and Father- laud," were executed by the principal Choral Socie- ties and military bauds of the city. The piesentationi of the address to the Kiog followed the concert. It! was contained in a gold box, richly decorated with precious stones and and enamels. The box, which is worth twenty-five thousands francs, was sub- scribed for privately by tho members of the Cham- bers; it weighs four kilogrammes, and is a remarkabla piece of Belgian art. The King, on receiving this proof of respect and gratitude from tho representatives of his people, spoke in a few hearty words in tho spirit of the oath he took twenty-live years ago. He said, ua he had ever had but one aspiration—namoiy, tho promotion of thapublio welfare and prosperity— he would continue to use his best efforts to make Belgium happy and wealthy.—At night in the Flourish and l'arc Theatres public performances wore given at the expense of the Government to the lower classes and afterwards a grand military retraite aux flambeaux" took plaeu with the &id of all the bands of tho garrisou and the Civic Guards. On the Place du Congres, the Place des Nations, and tha Place de la Bourse splendid dis-1 plays of fireworks took place. From eight o'clock until late in the night concerts were giveu in the different squares, and opeu-uir fetes, with dancing and fireworks, had been organised iu twelve or thir- teen parts of the city by the communal authorities. The steeple of the Town Hall was illuminated with Bengal fire, with remarkable effect.

FITOPOSKD CONFERENCE FOR NORTH…
FITOPOSKD CONFERENCE FOR NORTH AND SOUTH ^YALSS. The following motion, by Mr. Acland, wos also carried un(lnimously That the Conference of the Joint Education Committees of North Wales respectfully suggests to each of the joint, com- mittees of South Wales the desirability of holding a conference at Shrewsbury or elsewhere, as determined, of all the joint committees of Wales, to consider such matters as the adminis- tration of the Belton and other charities available for the whole of Wales, the formation of a central education goyerning body,t and other: matters affecting the interests of the Principality in reference to intermediate education,—It was agreed that the joint conference should be held at Shrewsbury, if possible, on September 20th and if that date did not suit the South Wales committee, then September 23rd, or a date late in October, to be fixed by the hon. sec. THE GOVERNING- BODIES. The discussion on the constitution of the governing bodies, local and county, were re- sumed. The principle of minority voting was approved of in general, but the manner in which the principle could be carried out was referred to the consideration of the Horvell's School committee. It was resolved also that there should be, both on the local and county com- mittees, particularly on the former, a substan- tial representation of women. The subject of the representation of thethead-masters of inter- mediate schools on these governing bodies was adjourned. WELSH COLLRGES AND THE LONDON UNIVERSITY. Principal Reichel proposed, and it was seconded by Mr. J. Marshall Dugdale, and re- solved, That, in the interests of those students who will hereafter pass from the intermediate schools to the university colleges, this conference deprecates the adoption of any scheme for the re-modelling of the University of London which may deprive the Welsh colleges of a position of absolute equality with the colleges constituted in London which they at present enjoy in rela- tion to that university. FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNING BODIES. The question of the respective functions of local and county governing bodies was next considered. The following subjects were thought masters for the local committees :—(1) the pro- vision of buildings, subject to the approval of the county committees (21 that where possible the county committees should grant a small annual sum for maintenance of buildings, with- out detriment to the sufficiency of scholarships and the efficiency of staff; that. as a rule, such grants should be made on condition of an equal amount being raised in the district; (3) that the holidays and arrangements for boarders and registered lodging-houses, if any, be left to the local committee; (4) that the curriculum be left to the local 'committee, subject to assent. of the county committee; (5) that fees for extra subjects, if any. be lixed by local committee; ((5) that the entrance examination for religious instruction, if any, shall be under the control ot the local committee, subject to the provisions of any scheme (7) that the scholarships from local subscriptions, and control of endowments given to schools after date of adoption of scheme, be left to the local committee. It was resolved that a balance sheet be presented by the local committee to the county committee annually. The question of the appointment of uné'Jr masters, whether by the local body or by e head-master, was, after some discussion, adorned. The follow- ing matters were thougfit V'. come within the functions of county committees: (1) Control and rate of Government grant tuition being subject to expression of opinion by local committee (3) number of assistant, teachers at school, and aggregate sum of their payment: (4) examination and inspection ot schools; (•>) scholarships derived from public funds; (li) travelling teachers (7) the question as to the appointment and dismissal of a head-muster, i whether it should be by county or local body, was, after some consideration, adjourned.

The question whether fees should be graduated by the condition in life of the parents was dis- cussed and adjourned. It was a'so resoivcd That as a rule the fee charges should be entirely inclusive, and should embrace all sub jects in the curriculum; that some reduction should be made when several children frem one I family attended a school, and that children should not be admitted under ten years of age, and pist that age they must pass the fifth standard or an equivalent examination.

PWLLHELI COUNTY COURT.
PWLLHELI COUNTY COURT. D. OWEX PRICR V. MARY EVANS. AT the last sitting ot the above court the above fease, which is of some interest to trustees and executors, was heard and determined :-It was an action brought by one of the executors and trustees under the will of John Evans, late of Brvntii'ion, Criccieth, master mariner, against bis widow to recover a personal debt due to the plaintiff from the deceased. The claim was in respect of goods supplied by Price to the defen- dant's husband and to the defendant after his death. Mr. Price hrd proved the will and allowed the defendant to sell the furniture which had been specifically bequeathed to her, thus disposing of the whole of the available assets wherewith to pay pressing claims, and had allo-sed the defendant to receive the rents of certain freehold and leasehold properties situate at Criccieth. It did not transpire why Mr. Price did not retain the debt due to himself out of the proceeds of the sale of the furniture, or why he did not exercise his riuht, as trustee to retain hi-3 debt out of the rents of the property. How- ever, after waiting some time he entered an action against the defendant as residu- ary legatee for payment of tbe amount due t.o him from the testator. The part of the claim against the defendant personally was paid into court, thus leaving the only question viz., whether the defendant under the above cir- cumstances was liable. — The plaintiff was called and examined by Mr. W, George. Mr.#J. T. Howells (Messrs. Ivor Parry and Howelis) appeared for the defendant.—The plaintiff.upon cross-examination, admitted that be had proved the wiil,and that there was a direction in it to the executors to pay the debts of the deceased. Mr. Howells thereupon contended that the only per- sons who could be sued fer the debts of the deceased were the executors of the will thfttit was tbe plaintiff's fault in allowing the defendant to have the proceeds of the sale of the furniture before deducting tbedeWs that they still had a right to receive the rents of the property and thus recoup the amount claimed and that they could not now takn an advantage of their own negligence — Judgment in favour of the defendant. | A marriage has been arranged, and will take

r THE GRENADIER GUARDS.
r THE GRENADIER GUARDS. THE SEIFTEKCLS OP THIS COL'I'.T-LIALAJAL, The statement published some days ago as to ihe command of the 2nd Battalion of the Greuadier Guards, aud since contradicted by Colonel Maitland, was confirmed on Monday morning on the parade of the battalion at Wellington Barracks, wlieu Col. the Hon. H. F. Eaton, of the 3rd Battalion Grenadier Guurds, tcok command of the 2nd Battalion, vice Colonel Maitland. The latter was not on parade. The adjutant was also changed. Lieutenant Lloyd, from the 3rd Battalion, taking Lieutenant Murray's place. The men were equipped in heavy marching order with the Slade equipment, and wearing forage caps instead of their bearskins. The Duke of Cambridge arrived to inspect them, accompanied by Lord Wolseley, General Sir Philip Smith, and other staff officers. After the inspection and inarch past the Duke had the meu formed in square, and the sentences upon tha selected to be tried by court-martial were read out, three men being sentenced to two years' imprison- ment and two others to eighteen month lit imprison- ment, while a fourth still awaits trial. Two of tho priscne. s on hearing their sentences aro said to have torn oil their medals and thrown them across tho parade ground, an action which caused considerable sensation, So far as can bi3 ascertained no other demonstrations occurred. The Duke then, in stern- est tones, addressed the men, and, although his remarks were biief, they were directly to tha point. He said that disobedience of orders was disgraceful, und ho was ashamed of the regiment whose uniform he wore. He had been connected with them for 25 years, and such a thing bad never happened iu any of the Guards' battalions, and he hoped it might never occur again. The address was received in silence, but when the men bad separated there were some comments among them upon the harsh tone of tho Commander-in-Chief, and upon the severe sentences upon their comrades. The men seem now to have settled down, and there is an evident desire to make the best of their departure on foreign service, especially as their new tolonelis very popular among them. Colonel Eaton was all day at the barracks, preparing for the march, and Colonel Maitland also looked in in the ailerneon, and took leave of some friends. It is said he demanded a court-martial, but was told ho had simply been suspended iu the command of his regiment. Crowds of friends and relatives of the soldiers loitered round the barracks all day, and a number of girls were allowed within the gates to see their loveie. Only a few of the men wore t-een outside the barracks, as they were busily occupied preparing for their departure. The uni- forms include white helmets and puggarees. Tunics of light led serge wore served out, and also sea-kita for the voyage. A portion of tha reghnoutai bag- gage wus tent in vui.8 to Yictoiia Station, and in the afternoon the companies at outlying stations were brought in and served with new outfits. Con- siderable excitement prevailed in the locality of the barracks during tho departure, which took place early on Tuesday morning.

Thomas, Mr. Pryce Jones, Councillor Richard Jones, &c. The Chairman said that owing to the absence of the late Bishop of Bangor, he had been called rather unexpectedly to the chair. However, lie was very happy to find that on this occasion a distinguished visitor had come forward to -give them the benefit of his wisdom and experience. They very much regretted rhe absence ot the late Lord Bishop, who was always with then on the prize-day if it was at all possible for him to attend. His kind!y face was always welcomed among them and also the words of wisdom which he spoke (cheers). The Head Master (Mr. S. D. Orme), at the outset, said be was sure that they all regretted the absence of the lute Lord Bishop. Bishop Lloyd, his successor, had hoped to be piesent but was unable to attend. Mr. Orme then proceeded to make a statement as to the general work of the school during the past year. Seven boys were sent in for the local examinations last Christmas, when one took honours, four passed, and two failed. The number of boys attending the school was pretty much the same as tor the last ten years. Now that the Intermediate Education Bill for Wales had been passed, it was to be hoped that the school would benefit by that measure, which gave the County Councils vast initiatory powers, and would extend secondary education amongst a class who bad hitherto not enjoyed it—(hear, hear)—and contribute to a more general diffusion of knowledge. If the joint committees, who were meeting in confer- ence that day, decided upou two higher-grade schools for Xorth Wales. then Beaumaris, he thought had a claim-far stronger than that of the populous town of Bangor. As regarded the teaching of Greek, he thought it should not be taught to boys who were intended for trade, nor that such boys should proceed too far in Latin. There was no doubt that these higher grade schools would attract a greater number of Non- conformists who were intended for the ministry, and, therefore, it was proper and essential thit Greek should form part of the curriculum, There was an unfortunate impression in some parts of the country that, in their administra- tion, thes:! higher grade schools were t")0 "Churchy;" but the evidence, taken before Lord Aberdare's Departmental Commission clearly demonstrated that such was not the case. It ought not to be so, and. speaking personally, he did not believe that it was. It was by the merest chance that he found whether his boys were Church or Nonconformists. Such a fact. he thought, ought to be understood throughout the country because any contrary opinion would, of course, have a deterrent effect (cheers). After the examiner, Mr. F. C. Wace. M.A„ late fellow lecturer of St. John's College, Cambridge, and one of the examiners for Oxford II and Cambridge School Examination Board, had rea-l his report, the Lord Chief Justice presented the certificates and prizes as follows:—Cam- bridge local examination certificates Mi-redyth, who passed with honours; Webster Griffith, III; Orme, I; Varian. Prizes for Christmas, 18S9: Roberts, I Peacoke, Bradshaw, and Williams, II. MidsummeT, 1890: Form VI., Lewis, classics J and mathematics; form V., Roberts, I, classics; form IV, Marcbant, Latin and French form HI., Davidson, I.; II., Williams, IL; I., Davidson, II. Mathematics, set 1., Owen. II.; set I! Gardner. Divinity: Meredyth. Natural science: Owen. II. The Lord Chief Justice then delivered an excellent address. He said he should like to begin with a quotation from Bos wall's Life of Dr. Johnson," and the quotation had occurred to him in consequence ot what the head-master had said with regard to the spread of education —that, in the words of Prince Bismarck, it led people to think of things which did not belong to that station of life to which they had been called, and therefore that. it was bad that they should be educated. Well, Dr. Johnson was once asked whether he did not. think it was a bad thing to educate ? Sir," he replied, 1 should consider that if you were to dress up one rustic in a plush waistcoat it is possible that you might make him proud of his position and cause him to consider himself above his fellows but if you dress out all rustics in red plush waistcoats they would cense to think they were above their fellows" (cheers). And it was the same with education. The wider they extended education, the less the distinction became; and therefore, for his part, he said God speed every kind of education, which was healthy, rational, and reasonable, and the more there was of it the better would it be for England and Wales and every country which lent itself to the system (hear, hear). When asked to attend on the prize day at the school, he was very reluctant about accepting the invitation, partly because such gatherings were not in his line, and partly because having said all he had to say over and over again, he had nothing new -that he could speak about. But he had acceded to the request because, since he was a boy himself, he couid never bear of a school or think of a collection of boys without manifesting a spirit of the greatest interest. Dr. Arnold, who was the greatest schoolmaster of his time, had said that he would be too old or would have lost interest in his profession, or would have become unfitted for it if he took a boy from the hands of his parents i without a feeling of emotion. And he felt that Dr. Arnold said that with the best possible 1 reason. To such as himself belonged the past; men of his age had made what they r-ould of their time. Some, perhaps, had not d)-le the best they could, but it was too late now ro look back, iiiid they must meet their Judge hereafrer, t.) receive from Him according to what they had done liere. For the young he saw present there was fhe future, and it was their own fault if they did not make that future and if they-even the least endowed of them—did not make the world better for having lived in it. This was a goal which every boy mi^ht reach, and every boy might, in this and that direction. leave the world better because he had lived in it (hear, hear). One thing he should say to the scholars was, attend with all your hearts to the studies of the place. That, seemed a very common observation to make. Bur in every place, in every profession, and in every rank there was a great deal to do—the use of which at the time, and certainly the pleasure of which at the time, escaped us altogether. If they pursued their studies and did their duty, whether in school, college, or profession—if they gained nothing else, they would gain the inestimable advantage in future life of the art and faculty of application, without which nothing grpat was done in this world, but with wh ch tire humblest could do somethicg. lie had hitherto given the highest unselfish reason for a strict application to studies, but there was also the commonsense and seitish res.s;n. He did not know whether in this school saying by heart was much insisted upon. Perhaps in old days it Wfi" to,) much insisted upon. But let him say this: If things which they liked and cared for were com- mitted to memory esrly in life -at a time when the memory indelibly retained that which it received—the delight, comfort, and advantage in after-life would be inestimable. As long as passages would be valuable, let them learn them, and make them their own, for the time would come when they would find the practical advantage of them (applause). Another piece of "commin-place" advice he would give was that which was given him by a distinguished tutor of his, "Never waste time; never employ a serious hour upon the pursuit of a second rata book. If you are in earnest, seriously reading, always read the best." He would not say any- thing about Latin and Greek. To him they had been an infinite delight, but he quite understood that it was not quite possible for everybody to be brought up on a course of Latin and Greek, and nothing else. But there were in our language books which, if properly read, must be of the greatest value in life. There was Shakespere, for instance. He had known one able advocate of his time who practically knew no law, but whose knowledge cf Shakespere gave him a force of language and power of imagination which proved oi enormous value to him in addressing juries, and sometimes in addressing judges, too (laughter). Another great writer, the study of whom the scholars would never regret, was Wordsworth. One other great man he wished to refer to was Lord Bacon, who, in reference to the studies of reading, bad said Reading maketh a full man, cont'ere:.ce ready man, writing an exact man, and, therefore, if a man confer little he need have pleasant wit, if he write little he need have good memory, and if he read little he has need of much cunning to seem to know that he doth not" (hear, hear). His Lordship next remarked upon the immense advantage of the study of good books. It was y said that a man may be known by the company he keeps, and what was true of good men was still true of good books. There was hardly a time—in sorrow, sickness, misfortune, distress, or perhaps in discredit when we did not find the company of good books—the thoughts they had put into us, the principles they had instilled, and the imaginative and beautiful pictures they had left-a uelight, an instruction, and a comfort They would nerve them for those duties—honest, earnest, and hardworking duties —which no man fit to be man couid escape (applause). Duty was the great thing in life. Pleasure did not come and would not come unless it came as the result. of duty honourably done. The young he saw before him wele at a time of life when the temptations which surrounded them were great and peculiar. Let them not believe people who told them that temptations could nut be over- come. All temptations might be overcome if they were only striven against in the right way. He was now an old man, and had no desire lo deceive them. He spoke from experience when he told them that he knew that the purity of a young man, the goodness of a young man, migh t be—with difficulty at first [ei-haps—preserved at school and college as weil as eisewnere. And, depend, upon it, in preparing themselves lor that time which hli meu came to, there was nothing that would it them for it better than the counsel of good men and the company of good books (loud applause). Sir Llewelyn Turner proposed a cordial vote of thanks to the Lord Chief Justice for the admirable address to which they had all just listened. It was difficult for him and difficult for any man to follow so great a master of the English language as he to .whom they had been listening. It was a great honour to the school to have the presence of his lordship, and they owed him a debt of gratitude for the manner in which he had discharged that duty (cheers). Colonel West seconded the vjte, which was enthusiastically passed. The Lord Chief Justice having briefly acknow- ledged the compliment, the proceedings closed with a similar compliment to the examine (Mr. Wace), proposed by the Rev. R. H. Williams (an oid pupil), and seconded by the Iligh Sheriff. The Rev. T. Lloyd Kylliu purpose! a vote Gf thanks to tho chairman, Mr. Hugh Thomas, in seconding, congratulated the chairman, as representing the feoffees, upon the progress of their gatherings. When he hrst entered the school, he had the honour of gaining his first prize, but they Ltd no Lord Chief Justice -¡- then to distribute the prizes. The management of the school had greatly changed since. His J father gothis children ^ducnted free; now his (Mr. Thomas's) children's father—(laughter)— 1 had to payior tiie education of his children But he saw a bright future when, by the advantages of the Intermediate Education Act. parent? would get assistance towards the education of their children. The motion was passed unanimously.
jIORE BLUSTER AT LLAXRWST.
jIORE BLUSTER AT LLAXRWST. MEETING OF SANITARY AUTHORITY. THE monthly meeting of the above authority was held on Tuesday. Present: Messrs. E. Jones Williams t chairman), J. Evans Jones and William Williams (vice-chairmen), the Rev. J. Gower, Messrs. John Jones (Felin Ucha), Morris Morris, and H. "rieree (clerk). Mr D. Hugh Jones, the surveyor, submitted a. list of the stopcocks that were inaccessible and defective. Ot the former ihe"e were 17.—The chairman referred to a resolution passed regard- ing the above, viz., that the proprietors would not be expected to reconstruct the stop- cocks, providing that no obstruction is placed in the way of their inspection.—The authority confirmed that resolution. Two places were reported to be without stopcjcks and 68 were defective.—It was decided that notices be served in all such cases. The business at the sanitary authority was not important, it being chiefly concerned with. the granting of carriage l-c/nses. A special case came under consideration when the Chairman (Mr. E. Jones Williams) said This is a delieate case, and I hope the reporters will favour us by takiag no notice of it.—Senior Reporter (Car- narvon Herald): Certainly. Mr. Chairman, we all of us accede to your request.—The Rev. J. Gower, rector of Trefriw I don't think thatour chairman should ask this as a favour of the reporters. When he says a thing is not to be reported, it should not be reported.-The Reporter Mr. Chairman, I am sure all of us, as reporters, will accede to your request as chair- man, but we will not listen to Mr. Gower, who is not chairman, but an ordinary member of-this meeting. We are ready to comply with a. respectful request such as you have made.—Mr. Gower: But when the chairman says you are not to report, you are not to report.-The Reporter 1 cont end that Mr. Gower is only an ordinary member at this meeting, and that he has no more right to dictate to reporters thaii has any other member. It is high time Mr. Gower should know his position in this board.— Mr. John Jones, felin Ucha, who at the previous. board mov.-d the exclusion of English reporters: Now, I hope we are not going to have another quarrel. I have had quite enough of it.—The chairman: So have I; let us have an end of. For goodness sake, let us stop these quarrels.- The Chairman then very courteously asked the reporters to correct what was reported of last meeting, viz., it was not Mr. Jobn Evans Jones, Trefriw, who seconded the proposition that a certain letter should not be read, but Mr. Evan H Jghes, Egiwysbach.
