Returns from Astrakhan, Saratoff, Samara, Tsariizin, and other places in Southern Russia show a continued increase in the mortality from cholera. lu some districts of Persia also the cholera is rag ng. There are in England something like 20,000,000 feitile acres lying idle. And yet, says the Horticultural Times, we import food products to the extent of .2130,000,000, half of which could be produced at home. Sentence has been delivered in th3 trial for con. spiracy at Sofia, four of the prisoners being con- demned to death, and others to terms of imprison- ment ranging from three to fifteen years, while six were acquitted. Both Ema and Vesuvius still continue in eruption, and great damage has been done in the neighbourbood of both volcanoes. Professor Palmieri attributes the eruption of Vesuvius to a connection with Etna. A di-tressing sequel to a labour dispute is re- ported from Southern Hungary, where a band of 180 reapers who had struck were fired upon by gendarmes, twelve v. omen and children being killed and many wounded.

The parties were married in 1884, at Toxteth-park, Liverpool, and the respon- dent's conduct was most cruel. The adultery was committed with his cousin, who was formerly a barmaid at a Walsall hotel. The Ameer of Afghanistan has written to the Governor General of India in regard to the insur- rection of the Hazaras, stating that he refuses to accept the dictation of the Government of India, as he is engaged in the legitimate operation of quelling a rebellion in his own territoiy and assuring its tranquility. A shocking accident occurred in the Duke of Sutherland's estate yard at Trentham. A. engine-driver employed there got his arm broke in the machinery, and Thomas James tempo- rarily teok his place. Jajaos was showing another workman how the accident occurred when he was himself dragged into the machinery and mangled beyond recognition. SOMETHING NEW I-Persons suffering from nerv- 0..8 weakness, depression, loss of energy, &c., may learn of a really bona-fide r-medy; thoroughly rp- liable and cheap, upon sending two stamps to Mr Herbert, 8, Shepherd's Place, Kennington Bark, London, S.E. c480 A malignant faver has broken out in Kilkenny Gaol, and two prisoners have died. At the Assizes Sir Peter O'Brien and Chief Baron Palles refused to hear criminal cases, declaring that on no account would they sentence any prisoner convicted to confinement in a pest house. Pri- soners whose sentences have expired are not allowed to leave gaol for fear of spreading the contagion. Sergeant.Major Davidson, 1st Aberdeen Ar- tillery, was accidentally killed in the Government camp at Barry, near Dundee. A strong gale prevailed, and as the large caeee tent showed signs of giving way Davidson and several others were sent to take down the canvas. A pole snapped, striking Davidson a tremendons blow on the bead. He was rendered unconscious, and died two hours afterwards. The remains of the Rev. Dr. John Thomas, the esteemed Congregationalist minister of Nether- field Road Tabernacle, Liverpool, were on Wed- nesday interred in Anfield Cemetery in the pre. sence of a large and representative gathering. At the funeral service in the Tabernacle prior to the interment eloquent tributes to the deceased were paid by the Rev. Dr. Hugh Jones, the Rev. Dr. Roberta (Wrexham), and Mr J. CaTvell Williams, M.P. The committee of the Liberation Society has passed a resolution deeply deploring the death of Dr. Thomas. An accident oacurred at the Cwm pit, Mertbyr, by which two colliers named James Havard (45), of Cefn, and William James, of Cefn Isha, were killed. A third man named Lewis was injured severely. The men, with others, were walking along the main roadway, when a fell of rock took place, and instantaneously killed the two fiist- named. At the time it was not known who was really under the roofing, and a young man named Havard, who helped to remove the debris, was horrified to find the body of his father. Several other men were near at the time of the accident, and had remarkable escapes. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS are admirably adapted for euring diseases incidental to females. At different periods of life women are subject to complaints whieh require a peculiar medicine; and it is now an indisputable fact that there is none so suitable for complaints of this nature as Holloway's Pilla. For all the debilitating disorders incidental to the sex, and in every contingency perilous to the life and health of woman—youthful or aged, married or single—this great regulator and renovator of the secretive organs and the nervous system is an immediate cure. Their purifying qualities render them invaluable to females at all ages. They are searching and cleansing, yet invigorating; a few doses will speedily remove every species of irregu- larity in the system, and thereby establish health on a sound and firm basis. NOT ANOTHBB BAILOR DISASTER.—The three aeronauts of the balloon Jupiter, picked up at Devizes, who had been given up as lost, have ar- rived safe and sound at Oamaret, near Brest, on board a fishing-boat. The aeronauts state that the balloon no sooner rose at Havre than it was driven by a violent wind in the direction of Cape La Hev £ It had no guidf-rope, and its anchor grapplings proved powerless against the heavy tide. All the moorings gave way, and the balloon rose rapidly, the occupants meanwhile sending off a rocket of distress. Although the signal was noticed by several fishing boats, it was found im. possible to succour the aeronauts owing to a storm. The balloon drifted rapidly downwards until it reached the water, and the car bounded among the crests of the waves, the occupants having the greatest difficulty in righting them- selves. Now and again they heard the voices of fishermen, who were seeking to rescue them, but as the soundbgradually died away in the dis auce they reeolvaerco face the howling tempests as best they could. After clinging to the ropes with desperate courage they were picked up at day- break in an almost lifeless condition.

WILLIAMS, WO, BROAD Sr., WELSHPOOL, JULY, 1892. Another dear familiar face We miss as our way we pursue, Beloved by all who knew her worth- A sister kind and true. I 1 hear them say that she is deadf But the maiden is asleep," Ye mourners then be comforted, And sigh not ye who weep. A greeting kind for old and young, for rich and poor had she, A-friendly word, which will ne't:r be heard Till we meet in eternity. When worn with pain and sickness, still She was tubniinsive, mild, Content to wait her Father's will, A patient loving child. And now she has gone to her Home above, And a golden crown has won, So teach us. dear Father, Thy name to love, And to pray Thy will be done. GIPSY. WHEN I GO BACK TO WALES. When I go back to Wales my boys- Fair Gwalia, land of song, What, many recollections sweet Will round my mem'ry throng The merry games I used to play, The songs I used to sing- Oh how those happy days of youth Still to my mem'ry cling. Choruii- When I go back to Wales, my boys, When I go back to Wales. 0, how my heart will then rejoice, When I go back to Wales. I long to hear the blackbird sing His songs of days gone by I long to hear the merry lark A-warbling in the sky Once more to hear th nightingale, Her sweet, melodious strain— While Fancy would translate each note— A welcome home again. When I go back to Wales, my boys, The land I love so well: The land where many a hero true With brave Llewelyn fell; Th(.ugh lies between that land and me The dark blue rolling main, There is a magnet in its soil That draws me back again. Jlong to see the old. old cot, That stood below the mill- I wonder if the ivy green la growing 'round it still! Methinks I see my mother's form, There waiting at the door, Her heavenly face with smiles aglow, To greet me home ouoe more. May God protect thee, Gwalia wen," And bless thy children still Refulgent beam His heavenly smiles Upon thy ev'ry hill; Oh! may the mem ries grand of old Aye, cluster round thy name- Like Snowdon, mountain prince of Wales, Immortal be thy fame!

♦ The Review of the Churches.-Ariyone who has read any of Archdeacon Farrar's works, or heard him speak, need not to te told that he is straight- forward and outspoken, but we think he is more than usually so in this month's number when writing on The Progress of the Churches." He apeafes thus concerning candidates for Oisdersi Of the last set of candidates for orders fifty- eight per cent were graduates of Cambridge or oxford. What prospect lies before a multitude of tbese highly-educated young men ? I fear a very poor one, so far as earthly prosperity is concerned. If their motives are absolutely pure and saintly; If natural views of preferment and promotion enter but little into the objects which induce fhain to enter their ministry; if they are pre- pared for the possibility of liv«s of labour, ob- scurity, precarious incDme, and general self- eAcrifice,—happy are they. Such an absence of Aspectatioas, which, when they exist, must be often doomed to disappointment, may save their fires frrm being blighted by the anguish of hope deferred, and from the bit ternesa of ekims un- recognised and service ill-requited. I hope I am not too pertinacious in raising an alarm on this head At the last meeting of Convocation we were again told the old sad story that tithe has fclleu twenty-five per cent, and that glebe hat fallen one-third in value; that 400 of J. he clergy are receiving less than £ 50 a year; 3,500 less than AIOO 7,000 less than than £ 130; and 7,000 in- cumbents and eurates receiving less than B300 a -mar In other words we are informed tbat out of (b6 26 000 clergy no less than 17,900 are receiving fore than XSOO a year. Now everyone knows that fur a clergyman to attempt the maintainance of a household and the education of sons on £ 300 a year is a hopeless task. If any try the experi- ment the iron will surely enter into their souls. Bat. besides, it is arithmetically certain that thousands of these young priests and deacons will never attain to anything like £ 300 a year. They will have to remain curates all their lives, with ever diminishing chances of even securing a evracy as years pass by. Indeed, h.w the ordi- zary curate succeeds to any living perplexes me anncb. Our system of patronage is the most hap- hazard in the world. If a man has no private ln- toreat his promotion becomes the merest matter of chance. The bishops of large dioceses do not even know their curates by name, and if a rector writes to urge the claims of a curate on their notice, or on the notice of any patron, he gets the perfectly true answer that the applications are endless and the •ongestion heart-breaking. Facing those words is an Faiibaira, Principal of Mansfield College, Oxford, who has risen without any patronage, through Aheer force of character, and extraordinary ahUity,, to the highest position in his own denomination. Mr F. H. Stead has written a capital sketch of his fife, three excellent views of Mansfield College I accompany the sketch. The pith and substance if the most noteworthy articles which appeared during the month are given us. "Pages tor preachers" are full of helpful thoughts and eng. «e»tions. Then we have Dr Alexander Whyte s #erm<ra on The Vanity Fair of a General Hleo- tton," preached in Free St. George s Hall, Edin- burgh, Sunday evening, June 26th. A great amount of information ie compressed into small apace in Missionary Progress and Problems." Report for 1891 of the Society for Promoting the Employment of Additional Curates. Aft early copy of the above report has been sent us in order, wo suppose, that we may draw the atten. tion of our read-rs to the state of the funds of the Home Missions of the Church of England. The ry is for more money, and that seems strange too, coming flOm a church possessing such enor. mous wealth, and patronised by some ef the rich- est people in the werld. Looking over the lalance sheet the salaries of secretaries, clerks, district and diocesan secretaries, and expenses of ditto* together with other expenses, swallow some 5 19s 2d. A few curates could be main. tained on that sum, mostly spent unnecessarily. If the salaries of the Archbishops and Bishops were reduced to £ 1,000 a year, and the salaries Of %Lll rectors which ,re a £ 1,000 a year and above were reduced to YWo or 2300 a year, and the rest distributed to the hard-working curates and the •clergy who really do the work of the Church, it would be more after the mind of Christ. The following extract will show what this Society aims to do: While the Society's financial year dates from January let, to December 31st, ita grant year dates from Lady-day to Lady-day. Of the 1.131 grants voted for the year entliu Lady.day, 1892, one or two were not takpn up, others were resigned by the Incumbents, or were withdrawn the remainder, 1097 have been renewed, and 62 new grants added, making a total of 1,159. The net result involves an increased charge on the Society's liabilities of more than.91,200 annually, jacking* a total amount voted fco Lady-day, 1893, of £ 84,057.

THE POLITICAL WORLD.
THE POLITICAL WORLD. By a majority of four Sir John Swinburne has been defeated in the Lichfield Division of Staffordshire, the Liberal majority being thus reduced to forty-two. By far the most sensational aftermath" of the < election will be the action for slander and libel which Mr Gatty is bringing against his successful rival, Mr Farqtharson, M.P. The most extra- ordinary personal charges were made against Mr Gatty, and that gentleman is certainly sparing no effort to secure the fullest investigation of them. He has laid the damages at £ 5,00u, and there will be some lively passages in Mr Farquharson's cross-examination. The Journal des Debats, referring to the result of the elections in Great Britain, says :—" The fall of Lord Salisbury will cause no regret in France. We are aware that the Liberals have declared that they will not change the foreign policy of the British Government, but there are different methods of carrying it out, and we be- lieve that Mr Gladstone will come into office with an initial feeling of goodwill towards us which was never entertained by his predecessors." The Daily Chronicle says Wales has gone back to 1885, and the old gibe that she could send her Tory members to Parliament in a gig has been literally fulfilled. She has been swept by the tide of Radicalism-agrarian. social, and religious- from one end to the other. It is doubtful even whether the two Conservatives who have been run in by flukes would survive another assault. Disestablishment and the nationalisation of the Church rents are the two things for which Wales is likely to press Mr Gladstone in the coming Parliament. The Star says: Wales has finished her elections with a splendid Liberal gain. Colonel Cornwallis West, the strongest Liberal Unionist in the Principality and a landlord, hasbeendefeated in West Denbighsbire by a majority of two thousand three hundred and thirty-three. According to the new Tory doctrine, the opinions of these couple of rorie3 should outweigh the views of all the Liberals. The Tories tell us that the views of the Irish members on Irish qu stions are of no account, and should not influence the Imperial Parliament. As Wales and Scotland are precisely in the same pwition-returning a majority of Nationalists and dome Rulers-tbeir verdict should also be nullified. The view of the majority should only prevail when that majority happens to be Tory fhat is the new Tory doctrine. Lord Arthur Hill's manifesto to the Unionists of Great Britain and Ireland, though a somewhat feeble draument, is significant of much. As coming from one of the whips of the Conservative party, it can be interpreted in one way only: it is a distinct and unequivocal announcement of the determination of Lord Salisbury and his supporters to flout the decision which the constituencies have pronounced in the recent election. "The recent elections," saya Lord Arthur HU1, H were merely preliminary skirmishes to the great battle of the Constitution which must be fought shortly"; and he appeals accordingly to all Unionists to look after the registration of Unionist voters, and make ready for the next General Election, which, it appearf, Lord Salisbury is resolved to force upon the country at the earliest possible moment. The various sections ef the Liberal majority are now forewarned of the tactics which their opponents mean to use against them. It is strange that so little prominence has been given to the remarkable speech recently made by Sir Edward Jenkinson in Staffordshire. Sir Edward Jenkinson was the gentleman who was taken from India co assist Lord Spencer in stamp- ing out crime in Ireland and in discovering the association between it and the extreme section of the Irish party. Sir Edward Jenkinson went first to Scotland-yard and then proceeded to Ire- land. He was a very able man, and made a very interesting and prolonged investigation, in the course of which he employed a small army of spies. The other day he gave his account of the whole matter. He said that be associated himself completely with Lord Spencer, Sir George Trevelyan, Sir Robert Hamilton, and other Irish officials, in the belief that nothing but self-govern- ment could cure the evils of Irish society. On the question of connection with crime. Sir Edward returned a verdict of complete acquittal of Mr Parnell and his friends. Mr Parnell, he knew, had done all in his power to put down out- rages. and his spies had reported to him that the Irish leader's second voyage to America was under- taken chiefly with the objeet of staying the hands of the dyaamiters. Sir Edward also said he attached the greatest value to Mr Davitt's anti- outrage erusades throughout the length and breadth of Ireland. Sir Edward added that he went to Ireland without the smallest political predilection, but that, like most Englishmen, he thought it was necessary to put down crime with a strong hand. In other words he went uut a Coercionist and came back a Home Ruler. THE PREMIER DECIDES TO MEET PARLIAMENT. —Prior to the dissolution, the Cabinet had decided to offer their voluntary resignation only in the event of the majority against them in the House of Commons being decisive and overwhelming, irrespective of the Irish members. The Glad- stonian preponderance has not reached the figures then conditionally fixed, and, moreover, Ministers, so far as their opinions can yet be gathered, do not regard the majority against them as sufficiently solid or cohesive to call upon them to surrender office without a debate and vote in Parliament. It is, therefore, still understood that the present Ministry will meet Parliament and present a Queen's Speech, the discussion of which will be seized by the Opposition as their opportunity for moving a vote of want of confidence. HOW THE GALLANT LITTLE PRINCIPALITY HAS ANSWERED CHAMBERLAIN.—Under this heading a London paper says Mr Joseph Chamberlain has received his answer from Wales, and it is com- plete. There is not a single Liberal Unionist returned for the Principality, Ool. Cornwallis West being rejected by the tremeadons majority of 2,333. There are only two Tory members of Parlament for the whole of Wales, oae for the Denbigh Boroughs and one for the Montgomery Boroughs, and the latter seat was literally thrown away by the absence of a separate Liberal organisation for the boroughs. Mr Chamberlain tested his power in Wales by making Cardigan- shire the place where one of his feeble followers was put up against Mr Bowen Rowlands. Mr Chamberlain himself came down to Highmead, the residence of Colonel Davies-Evans, the Tory Lord-Lieutenant of the oounty, and made a great speech, in whieh he talked the rubbish the country has since been made so familar with about injustice to Ulster Nonconformist s. Mr Chamber- lain's nominee in Cardiganshire was beaten by a majority of 1971, although the Liberal majority against the late Mr David Davies, Liberal Unionist, was only nine. Wales has purged her- self from all doubtful Liberals, and is in eameat for Irish Home Bule and Welsh Disestablishment as she was never in earnest before. Sir John Poleeton hag not only failed to turn out Mr Lloyd- Gecrge, but has helped to give the popular member for the Carnarvon Boroughs a greater majority. Twenty-eight of the thirty Welsh members are pledged to the disestablishment of the Church of England in Wales, and Wales looks to the present Liberal majority for speedy justice. the Church of England in Wales, and Wales looks to the present Liberal majority for speedy justice.

) SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST…
) SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST THE TORIES. I Reference has been made in many new spapers to alleged wholesale bribery and corruption by some Tory and Unionist candidates, but the most outspoken paper is the London Star, which has the following :— The indecency of the Unionists' suggestions for nulli- fying their decisive defeat is praiseworthy compared with the revolting and uncompromising shameleasness of the methods they adopted to pre7ent their defeat from being more decisive than it is. We refer, of course, to the wholesale and unblushing bribery and intimidation which Unionists have been practising in the constituencies. It is not too much to say that the practices to which the Tories have had recourse in the election now ending recall, in many cases, the very worst days of corruption in the period before the Corrupt Practices Act became law. Needless to say, there has been full employment of all the subtler arts of intimidation which Sir Henry James had in his mind when he declared that you cannot schedule smiles." Every shift of social patronage has beei. exhausted on behalf of the cultured and moral party. But the cultured and moral party has not stopped here. It has, with the most lavish expenditure of money and diligence, brought into requisition on the grandest scale all the grosser forms of undisguised corruption. From scores of constituer.cies we hear one and the same tale. Bribes of money have been distriDuted with little concealment among voters, and the distribution has been conducted upon an organia d plan worthy of the worst period of ifepublic^n Rome. Beer has flowed fast and free. Constituencies on polling days have reeled and hiccoughed their bestial a!iegiance to the intellectual and constitutional party. Landlords and employers have, where bribery- failed, descended to the vilest methods of intimiddtic n, and some even of the most reputable members of the Unionist party have sailed into a haven of a majority in a golden ship of splendid corruption, riding over merry waves of strung beer. Shall the Tories be permitted with i-npunity to have avoided worse defeat by muddling the brains, greasing the paling or coercing the wills of electors? 'ihe practices which have been empioyed are notorious and avowed. There is no blinking the fact and we have no inten- tion of miucing our words. The Tories procured a Special Commission to inquire into Parnellism and Crime." With a thousand times more reason would a Commission now be appointed to inquire into Toryism and Treating." In a subsequent article in the Star, the following appears :—The Ulobe, after carefully pointing our that its attention had been directed to the subject by letters which unfortunately are too long for publi- cation in our columns," said that it was harrl to think that "even the most hardened and habitual reader of The Star could have swallowed without question the accusations which it levelled yesterday against the Unionist party." The criticism is characteristic. The whole point of our contention was that the accusations, which were certainly formidable and clear, was one which in the public interest demanded questioning, and that such questioning would best be conducted by an impartial and quasi-legal appointed ad hoc. It is such investigation that the whole sordid business ought to receive, and that we earnestly and emphatically demand. The Globe, em- ploying the method which it thinks becoming to it, suggests that The Star is lying, or, at best, knows nothing of what it speaks about. Not less amiable is the alternative suggestion that we should denounce the transgressors seriatim. Let the most hardened and habitual reader of The Star" observe what this invitation comes to. We have stated that a whole- sale system of bribery, by means of strong liquor and hard cash, has been vigorously put into operation by the Unionist party in the recent elections. In reply we are urged by the Tories to pursue in the public interest a path fraught with countless libel actions against ourselves. We decline to accept the invitation. The tale of corruption is too long, the corrupted area is too wide, to permit the charges that we have brought against the Tory party adequately to be sifted in a series of dis. coignected and local suits. What is wanted and what, with reiterated emphasis, we ask for, is a special tribunal, publicly constituted and publicly respon- sible, that shall enter upon a careful and, so far as may be, exhaustive investigation of the gross and alarming abuses of which we have complained. The character of such a Commission must be judicial, sot political. 4,
IDEFEATED AND DISGRACED.
DEFEATED AND DISGRACED. The Welsh correspondent of the Mercury writes: In addressing his constituents after the election, Mr Bryn Roberts struck what I regard as the most serious element in the recent Unionist campaign in Wales. Referring te Mr Humphreys's candidature and the efforts of Nonconformist Tories, Mr Roberts said, They sent out their candidates with a permis- sion to profess Liberal principles, but with an under- standing between them that &11 this was to be a hypocrisy." This is a serious charge; hot how can it be disproved? Mr Humphreys in public meeting declared himself in favoar of universal Sunday •losing; Mr Bryn Roberts never committed himself to such a policy; yet we find that the licensed victuallers sent out a aircalar in favour of Mr Humphreys. Beyond this, Mr Humphreys, though professing to be the farners' friend and an advocate of a Land Bill, was supported by all tke large land- owners of the constituency. I am also informed that Mr Humphreys expressed his readiness to vote for the abolition of tithes,if such measure would benefit the farmers. Yet he was assisted by all the parsons, and was practically the Church candidate. All this is difficult to understand, and Mr Bryn Roberts's explanation is certainly one solution. To be all things to all men in public was a favourite Unionist dodge. The fight was not fought fairly. The Unionist candidate, though professedly the friend of farmer, Nonconformist, and temperance advocate, was really supported by landlord, parson, and publican. It ia highly satisfactory that trickery has not suc- ceeded. Wales has not been taken in. The Tory party, with their Unionist allies, have not only been defeated, but also disgraced.
