NOTES ON PASSING EVENTS. THE MANAGEMENT OF BRIDGEND ASYLUM. The lunatic asylum at Bridgend is an ex- pensive institution, and a strong feeling is abroad that the question of expenditure should be thoroughly investigated. Mr David Davies, of Aberdare, referring to the matter at a, meeting of the Merthyr Board of Guar- dians on Saturday, said that the cost of mailltainauce was Is 4id per head per week more in the Bridgend Asylum than it was in the Joint Counties' Asylum at Abergavenny. He said that this meant X300 a year to this board alone. He could not help thinking that there was extravagance somewhere, and he hoped that the chairman, as one of the visiting committee, would use his ;nfluence to secare a little greater economy. O
THE MARCFF OF EDUCATION IN…
THE MARCFF OF EDUCATION IN THIS DISTRICT. Those who habitually visit the several new colliery localities opened in the district of Pontypridd cannot help being im- pressed with the marked degree of progress which education has made amongst the lower orders of the people, and this is proved by the novel character of a variety of announce- ments which are here and there placed in the windows of dwelling houses, &c. Some of these announcements, considered classi- cally, orthographically, and caligraphically, are extremely amusing, and, to illustrate our remarks, we will quote a few. In one place, a cobbler, with an artistic genius well worthy of a "knight of the lapstone," announces, from the window of his domicile, his calling thus—"Bwt and shoo maker made to order; whimen tap at Is 3d men, at Is SM." In another place, we find the modest request of "Pies for logers," while at another is sallia forth the fact that—"Respekable yuig men taken here, and dun for." What te 'dun for" means is difficult to conjecttre, but we hope that young men are"bot "inn for" at that establishment in the more serous sense which is generally applied to the term. So much for the rare advantages of education. — O —■
WELSH MEMBERS IN PARLIAMENT.
WELSH MEMBERS IN PARLIAMENT. A certain London newspaper strmgly de- nounces the action (or rather the inaction) of the Welsh members in Parliament In the last issue of "Reynold's" the following com- ments were made:—"What a pity it is that there is not a little more backoone in the Welsh members Their claim for disestab- lishment is so strong that no Government eould resist it, if only the Welsh representa- tives put it forward with force, energy, and unity. Sir George Trevelyan has done admi- rable service in forcing this question to the front. It only remains for the Welsh mem- bers to follow the parliamentary tactics of Mr Parnell." We* heartily reciprocate the views of our English contemporary, and feel con- vinced that the Welsh nartv will greiudily acquire that degree of strength anjl influence which is necessary in order to assert itself in Parliament. there are at present not only Welsh members—Welsh in depth of sympa- thy as well as pride of nationality—repre- senting the majority of seats in the Princi- pality, but they have actually "crossed the frontier" over to English constituencies, and also the Clyde into Scotland. We understand that the newly-elected member for Newark is a Welshman, of the true Gladstonian type. Who then, in the face of these unmistakeable signs of the times, can fail to recognise the eventual universality of Welsh representation. -0--
THE CAERPHILLY EISTEDDFOD.
THE CAERPHILLY EISTEDDFOD. Of all the pleasant pleasant places for an enjoyable holiday on Whitmonday, commend to us Caerphilly, where, in the picturesque castle, an eisteddfod of a most interesting des- cription will be held. Four trains will run from Pontypridd to the ancient town on that day. The first (ordinary) will start at 8.35 a.m. at 10 o'clock a special will go, starting from Ferndale; at 10.40 there will be a special from Pontypridd, and those who remain may avail themselves of the ordinary tmin at 11.20. This ought to secure a large audience to hear the chief choral competition, for which several choirs have entered. The chair which the president will occupy on the occasion is one which was won at an eisteddfod held in the Fan 300 years ago -0--

RATE COLLECTION IN THE RHONDDA.
RATE COLLECTION IN THE RHONDDA. The suggestion reported in our last week's issue as having been briefly discussed at the Board of Guardians, as to the possibility of having all the local rates and taxes collected by one man, in order to save expense, did not receive very cordial approval from those who were intimately acquainted with the enormous work of collecting in the Rhondda Valley. Economy they believed in, but economy cou- pled with efficiency, and in view of this there can be no harm in glancing at <an outline of the work done by Mr Evan Llewellyn, the rate collector of the Ystradyfodwg Local Board, during the half-year. That officer presented his repott at the last meeting of the board, and was deservedly complimented upon his remarkable success. The total rate for the* half-year ended the 25th of March last was £6,839 12s. 5d. From this sum the fol- lowing allowances had to be made :—Vacan- cies, £ 101 lis 4d; irrecoverable from colliery bankruptcies, £178 Its. 4d and on account of poverty, 2s. 7d. When these deductions had been made, there remained for collection of the rate named only ze2 16s 3d of recover- able arrears. We think the figures are very striking. -0-
