IfiMjer the title Haphazard Personalities," Mr. Obazles Lanman is preparing1 his personal remini- scences of Henry W. Lonwfeilow, Washington Irving, r» £ Horaoe Greeley, John Howard Payne, ur. 15. McOlellan, and other noted Americans. Alnong coming books is Mr. W. S. Rockstro'a "General History of Music." It will deal with the subject from the infancy of the Greek drama to the present period. Messrs. Lonxmans hope to publish next autumn the firat volume of A History of the Great Civil War," by Mr. S. R. Gardiner. The volume will bring the nar- rative down to November 23, 1G44. the day of the Km,! a return to Oxford after the secud battle of Newbury and the relief of Dmmington Castle. A number of tho ''Queer Stories of Truth are to be republished in a series of shilling volumes. Many of them wt-Tn written by well-known authors now dead, such as Mr. E. C. Grenville Murray and Mr. Hugh Conway. The first volume, which will contain 13 stories by Mr. E. C. Grenville Murrny, will be issued eatly next month by Measrs. Sonnenschein and Co. Mr. Hubert E. H. Jerninpbam is engaged on a volume of reminiscences—" Recollections of an Attache." A year ago a great ainouncof manuscript material tn connection with the late Joseph Severn was placed in the hands of Mr. William Sharp. Besides three autobiographical narratives, win ten a.t different times, ft manuscript portion of the 4i Adomus," with m tes, manuscripts 'of general literary and artistic interest, atid fievnial volumes of diaries, there are many letters of the Keats ptrrid, including unpublished correspon- dence by Leigh Hunt, Armitage Brown, and others of the circle. Inuring his long life, and owiiig to his consular position in Rome and other circumstances, there were few eiainem men—from Keats and Scott and Wordsworth down to y..ung contemporary writers and attiets-witti whom Severn did not come in contact, and with many celebrated personages he kept up a constant correspondence. The manusci ipt material having been sifted and edited, Mr. Sharp is now engaged on these memoirs, which in due time will be issued in two volumes, with portraits, etch- ings, and other illustrative matter. The antiquity of many of the Sanskrit manuscripts is m doubt. But the Reverend B. Ha e Worthain allots that of the Satakas of Bhartrihari to either the i ^u°r secon<^ century of our era. Bhartiihari was a celebrated poet aad grammarian of his day but, dis- gusted with the world as he found it, he resigned his position and bfcame an ascetic. Mr. Wortham has made a translation of the Satakas or, Centuries of Many of the maxims in the book have a Biblical ring and beauty ot expression, as may be read in the following extract from the 103 Si oka Wha', is most profitable?

Staying at home.— What is royalty ? Command." Messrs. Triibner and Co. are the publishers. The Prince of Wales, as president of the Health Inhibition, has presented to the British Museum the collection of 600 books in Chinese, being trans- lations of ijuropean works into that language, which was exhibited by the Chinese Government at South Kensington last year. The collection is of interest M shewing the branches of European knowledge the Chinese people are now becoming familiar. Translations of the Bibie into different dialects abound, as do also translations of general religious works, such as "The P lgrim's Progress," &c. ;but, in addition to these, the collection includes Chinese versions of many standard works on the various branches of science, history, and interna- tional law. Messrs. Burns and Oates will publish presently a!D^ Laughter," by one who standi aghast at the sight 60 gloomy-looking faces in merry Old England, and v. no aborts that to hundreds and Jbhousanas met with in the hignways and byways joy w,balaughter seem unknown powers in the recreation and preservation of dear self, M. Zola's novels do not at the first glance suggest elaborate workmanship but it appears that the novelist is a mo,t laborious workman. He writes his manuscript himself. From this the printers compose what are called placards"—large pages with four columns of text. These are revised and sent to the author, who begins to correct. He fills the wide margin all round with hundreds of marks and ietters; ink lines cut through the text, thin threads run cross way a attd diagonally, entwining like a 'spider's web a sentence scriblled in open apagfcl &na scarcely a line passes unaltered in some Vay. For an expression repeated in Eve or six pages a syuonym is introduced whole phrases are re- jyyleUea, sentences are condensed into two or three p words, aud even half columns are ruthlessly cutout. The story is then printed, but the process of altera- tion is still unfinished. M. Zola now perceives in his work a thousand things wuich escaped him before, and he begins anew to correct. He makes ravages in the text, refining aud touching up the periods, reconstructing whole pages and sprinkling column after column with alterations. At last comes the day when the final proof is returned for press and the tiew woik is ready. M.ZJa will never more with- draw anything from it. M Zola's last romance ;s now appearing as a feuideton. He hopes to have completed it before the month closes. When the library of the late Mr. James Crossley came to be sold in 1884, not only a considerable frag- ment of the autobiography of iioger North, author of "The Lives of the Nor hs," but a large mass of bis correspondenoe was found to have been in Mr. Crosftley s possession for many years, and the more valuable portions were purchased by the Trus- tees of the British Museum at tho sale. The auto- biography is almost a necessary appendix to the writer's Jivetf of his brothers, and the correspondence will be found to be of uiiusual interest. It covers a period of more than CO years—from 1(170 to 1703 —during which time events of supreme importance Were occurinp while at the same time they are years extiemely barreu in \vli.tt may lIe called our domestic sources of 'nioimatiou.

A BITTER SECRET.
A BITTER SECRET. BY THE AUTHOR OF "A VAIN TKIUMPH," "THa HIGHEST BIDDER," "TwENTY STRAWS," aTI. CHAPTER IV. Continued All this sounded very feasible, and quite satisfied he Earl, evidently; but somehow it did not satisfy 't. John, who rather prided himself on his per- picacity, when, four days later, as he was strolling n the lames with a cigar between his lips, a buxom ;irl (if about thirteen suddenly stopped him, and isked him the way to Yoxford Castle. St. John was invariably courteous to those below )im, and he answered at once, "I ant going back here now you can follow lIIe if you like." The girl iicsitated, and looked up at him rather ivisifully. Do you know Lady Gwendolyn, sir? Very well. I am a relation of hers." Her face brightened at once. "Then perhap you wouldn't mind giving her this letter, sir .Mother wanted her to have it at once and the ser- vants wouldn't, perhaps, take any notice of what i said." Who is your mother? inquired St. John, wlu had a shrewd suspicion of the truth. Mrs. Broughton, sir, who was nurse to her lady- ship when she was little." Oh, I have heard of Mrs. Broughton but ] thought you were ill." No, sir, I am not ill," she answered, laying un- conscious emphasis on the personal pronoun. Thelo she looked frightened, as if she feared she had com- mitted herself in some way, and added in a sharp breath, "Leastways. not just now. I used to be- very ailing when I was younger." "But now you are old," lie said, smiling, "you are quite strong." "Yes, sir," she answered brightly. Mother say? f can go to service soon and her ladyship has pro- mised I shall come to the castle and one of these days, if I get on well, perhaps I may be her lady- ship's maid." Why not ? You would like to wait upon Lady Gwendolyn, I am sure." Indeed, sir, I should, she is so kind and thoughtful. Mother says she was always like that, even when she was quite a little girl." St. John longed beyond words to question the girl further, for he felt positive in his own mind that the letter he held came from this, lover of Lady Gwendolyn's, whom he hated with a deadly hatred. She was so simple, she would certainly have be- trayed her secret if lie had pressed her at all hard but somehow he could not take snch a mean advan- tage of his kinswoman, and preferred to be ignorant rather than gain his knowledge in a dishonourable way. But he promised himself a little triumph presently over Lady Gwendolyn, who had been icily civil to him, and no more since their quarrel: and with this in view lie could afford to forego the other. He slipped a sovereign into the girl's hand, and told her to hurry home, and she might trust him to deliver the letter as quickly as possible. "Oh, thank you, sir, you are very kind," she said, beaming with delight. I shall keep this towards my clothes when I come to live at the Castle." She curtseyed, and laughed, laughed and curtseyed, and then went dancing off, wheeling round at the turning of the lane to make a last smiling obeisance ere she disappeared and then St, John took his way back to the Castle, almost trembling with his eagerness to confront Lady Gwendolyn, now that lie had proofs of her de- ception. He found her in the pretty morning-room where he had passed so many pleasant hours. She was leaning on a couch as he entered, her eyes closed and as she did not open them on hearing his step he had time to note the change in her appearance the last few days had wrought. Her face was perfectly colourless, her eyes had deep shadows beneath them, and her lips were drawn tightly together as with a person who is keeping anxious watch over herself.. and dares not relax guard for a single second. When lie sp*>Ke her name she started up wildly, and her hand went t9 her heart, as she said, panting, Oh, it is yOU, St, John How you .11 frightened Me!" Didn't you hear me come in, tlieii ?''t "I heard something; but I was uoztilg at the time, and could not be sure of my own impression, I but," shiirplv, "what have you tliei-c- "A letter your old nurse's daughter has just given nit, replied St. John, with deliberation. lie watched her keenly while he was speaking, and her lips went white, her bosom heaved as she Stretched I out her hand. "You will be glad to hear," he added quietly, that the girl is quit* well," and conld never have been so seriously indisposed as you feared, for, she doesn't seem to remember anything about it." With this parting shot; St. John smiled scorn- fully, and walked out. He was so angry with her, that lie made up his mind then and there he would think of her no more, for she was utterly unworthy* of an honest man's affection. But he forgot that it was no longer in his power to cast her out of his heart-for to a person of his steadfast nature to love once was to love always. lie was debating all these things in his mind when he heard a step behind him, and felt a timid touch upon his arm. Wheeling sharply about, he found himself face to face with Lady Gwendolyn. St. John," said she, with a shame-facad air, I I have come to ask you a great favour." Never had he seen her look more beautiful, and he had hard work to sttiel himself against her, as he answered grimly, You have another uupleasant piece of work for me to do, I suppose." No; iu this case I only want you to practise what you advocate, and keop silence," liI see," he replied, with, quick comprehension. I am not to tell Lord Yoxford that your nurse's daughter is quite well, and has never been ill," if you please," and she clasped her hands im- ploringly. if you only knew what a kindness you would do me, you would not hesitate for a mo- ment. Oh, St John, do be kind to me —— For once ? he put in, mindful that she herself had made this addition on a former occasion. 1 don't say that, for you were very good to me before and oil passionately, "no poor creature ever needed kiudness more—for my heart is just breaking." Slu- did not cry, it seemed as if she had shed so many tears she had none left; but there was some- thing more pathetic still in her self-restraint, and the way she twined her nervous fingers in and out. s;;e w inse manners had, as a rule, such dignified, high-bre i repose. IVr haps you don't understand all you are ask- ing, lie said, at last. "By acceding to your lequost I become associated with your de- ceptions Iud I am so sincerely attached to your father, i caa't bear to wrerg him." 1 have not asked you to tell him a falsehood. St. J hii. I simply beg you not to mention to him that you ';ave j-cen my nurse's daughter to-day. Ii wi 1 not qu- -tion you, so that silence won't he diifc- cult; al¡,' niter all, why should you speak of o thing if i d s n t concern you? You would havi: to volunt v- e information I ask you to conceal. and that ^ou^< surely be a great liberty. You :or;4et ihat I am so insolent, it would Lo only-nam; al To: me to take liberties." "Y(,u 1 didn't mean that, St. John. You are always, severely literal when you are angry. After ad, it i ha\e spoken has ily tn you sometimes, I have I.. vor been ically harsh; and if you search your eoui-cie-Jice I tniukyou will find you have occa- sionally b«en very imrsh to me." "u:¡;, y >u have deserved it." P- 'U h but then what gives you the right to judge \11" •• t ■ in., kinswoman —your father is like my own f.isj> -.<;i;d 1 see y turunningyourneck into a iioi'f' utii hOi.i'my peace?" rtty tiot. You wouldn't mind if i did come to grief." "You know better than that, Gwendfdyn, he answered, reproachfully. There is no living crea. ture in whose fate I feel so much interest as yours and I would sacrifice my own life gladly to save you from sorrow and disgrace," How can I believe that when you refuse to do me such a small kindness? "I did you a kindness before, Gwendolyn, and you have scarcely been civil to me since," Because you were wantonly cruel. You tooli the rose I prized in order to have the pleasure ol stamping it under foot. Like the dog in the man- ger, you would not let me have it, though you die not want it yourself." Pardon me, I did want it myself. "In order to destroy it?" In order to destroy it." "Just because I valued it, I suppose? It was your reason for valuing it that I object ed to." You don't know the reason, St. John. II I should be a fool if I didn't guess." (To be Continued).

Pontypridd County Court.
Pontypridd County Court. Friday and Saturday.—Before His Honour Judge Gwilym Williams. JHorgan v. Williams.—This was an action to recover a sum of JB25 16s 5d balance claimed to he due to the plaintiff for building a sbcp and Loue f< r the defendant. The writ waa isaned for 1:6:6 7s 3d. Defendant had paid iitocoutt 453(5 lus lOd and dispated his liability to pay any tnoie, and be counter-claimed for a considerable Hnm for pena ties. The case had been commenced in the High Court, and had afterwards been trausfoimd to the County Court to try the issae. Mr Rhy* (Messrs Walter H. Morgan and Rbya), appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr W. Grover (Messrs Grover ;H.d Grover) for the defendant. It appeared that thø plaintiff had recently filfd his petition in jank- ruptcy, on which a receiving order had bc"n made but he had not been adjudged a bankrupt. Mr Grover therefore contended thit the action could not be proceeded with without joining in the official receiver, or giving security for costs. A case was, however, cited by Mr Rhys, in which this point had been expressly decided, and it had been decided to proceed under the Bankruptcy only. His Honour, therefore, decided to proceed in the action, and in tha result found judgment for plaintiff for .e18 18s lOd, and for the defen- dant on the counter claim fer J56 15a, which sum h- d been admitted by the plaintiff as due in his pleadings. Charles Richards, v. Reus Williams.—Plaintiff is an accountant at Pontypridd, and defendant is a painter there. The defendant had employed the plaintit to make out bis accounts a"d keep bis books, and plaintiff claimed the sum of over X20 as being due to him in respect of this work. The defendant, however, alleged he had a claim against the plaintiff for £ 23, and it had been arranged at a previous Court that all the accounts should be referred to Mr E. H. Howard, who now found his award for j610 in favour of plaintiff, without giving the defendant anything on the coanter-elaim. On the application of Mr Rhys, His Honour directed judgment to be entered for this amount with costs. Re Seymour, deceased.—This was an action for the administration of the estate of William Sey- mour, deceased, on the grounds of the embarrassed financial condition of the executory appointed by his will and for a receiver to be appointed. Mr Rhys appeared in support of the application, and Mr Rosset opposed it. The usual administration plea was raised and the receiver prayed for was appointed. Alexander v. Hoicells —TTowells claimant.—This was an interpleader ir whi T the son of the defen- dant was claimant. it appeared that the goods had been sold to him by ju jlic auction and pos session had been immediately transferred, and after the sale his father bad gone to live in the North of England. His Honour came to the conclusion that the action was a bona fide one and gave judgment for the claimant with costs. Mr Rhys appeared for the claimant. Jenkins v. Oven.—This action was brought to recover the sum of Y,6 17s, being money remitted by plaintiff to defendant to pay certain people, which he bad omitted to do. From the facta it appeared that in the month of December, 1882, an execution was levied on a mare belonging to the plaintiff out of the Cardigan County Court, and defeBda.nt, who had become snrety for the plaintiff thereupon wrote plaintiff requesting him to forward him the sum of £3 ao as to avoid his own goods being levied on which plaintiff did. Defen- dant, however, wrate back te say that he bad been too late to prevent the mare being sold, and offering to return the .63. Plaintiff, however, said that be need not return the £ 3, but that he would send him another Y.3 17s in order that he might pay the debt which was owing to another party by plaintiff, and plaietiff accordingly did so, but defendant never paid this debt and now denied having ever received it. His Honour gave judgment for plaiDtiff with fall amount for costs. Mr Rhys appeared for plaintiff.
THE MONMOUTHSHIRE AND SOUTH…
THE MONMOUTHSHIRE AND SOUTH WALES SLIDING-SCALE COMMITTEE. REDUCTION OF WAGES. 4. meeting of the Sliding-Scale Joint Committee was held on Monday at the Angel Hotel, Cardiff. Sir Wm. Thomas Lewis presided, and Mr William Abraham, M.P., occupied the vice-chair. There were also present:—For the owners, Messrs Edward Jones, Archibald Hood, and Edward Martin and for the workmen, Messrs D. Morgan, D. Edwards, Isaac Evans, John Morgan and John Jenkins; arid the joint secretaries, Messrs W. G. Dalziel, and J. W. Jones.—The committee pro- ceeded to reeeive the official report of the joint acountants, Messrs J. C. Kirk and Charles E. Parsons, on the result of their audit of the coal- owners' books for the feur months ending Decem- ber 31, 1885. The result arrived at was that the wages payable to the workmen in the Monmouth- shire and.South Wales Associated Collieries should be 71 per cent. above the standard rate of Decem- ber, 1879, being a reduction of 2t per cent, as and from the 1st of March, 1886. The committee also discussed the subject of the Cwmbach (Abernant) Colliery dispute. This matter was deputed for settlement to Mr A. Hood for the owners, and Mr David Morgan for the workmen. We understand that that there is a fair prospect of a settlement. Mr Ivor Morgan, Penygraig, the patentee of a new means of coal-getting by a screw arrangement was introduced to the meeting, and exhibited his appliance. Tbecommittee were interested in th« exhibition, and, by permission of Messrs A. Hood and Edward P. Martin, the machine will be tested at the Glamorgan Company's and the Dowlais Company's collieries.
