"Richard Cameron, when he first saw tin enemy advancing, gathered the men around bimJ and, as was the wont of the Roundheads ana the Covenanters, they joined together in ) prayer. Cameron was the one minister there aivd it was for him to find the words. The prayei was brief: there was no time for a multitude 04 words. Three times he cried: Lord, span the green, and take the rine and when the prayer was ended, he looked to his brother, saying: Michael, come let us fght it out to the last; for this is the day that I have longe4 for, and the death that I have prayed for, Gft die fighting agaiiiist our Lord's enemies; and" is the day that wo will get the crown.' Turninf to the others, he cried: Be encouraged, al< of you, to fight it out valiantly; for all of vaQ that shall fall this day, I see heaven's grtel cast wide open to receive them.' Then Cameroi went to his death. He fonght as in the battle of the Lord.

LOCAL JOTTINGS.
LOCAL JOTTINGS. A Bra Repairing Job, I ThackB in a kurge measure to the "grip' of hw business shown by Mr. Edward Towers, the enterprising naanager of the Central hli- gineering Company, ship repairing in Swansea, is in a state of exceptional activity just now. in the Central Dry Dock there is undergoing extensive repairs the Turret Court; alongside the quay at the (Jut there is the Daimeny, also a heavy job; at the V illiera a steam sand-pumper is being repaired, and in other of the docks the Central Company hare a stair at work. The Turret Court is a particu- larly heavy job, which has kept a ooupJe of tnnxfcred men employed for the past three weeks and which is lifaely to keep them at it for three weeks to come. She is a compara- tively new ship, so constructed that slie can carry a heavy deadweight on a small register, and having bad! ybumped her bottom on a voyage to Canada has been compelled to have a number of plates taken out and replaced. All the big firms from Cardiff to Belfast ten- dered for the work, but it was secured by Mr. Towere, who, thanks to the satisfactory method in which the bol "-e piece-work system now works, is getting through the contract with gratifying dispatch. Imjwrtant Call for a Young Swansea Man. The Baptists of Swansea will learn with satis- faction that the ReT. W. Owen, of Swansea, has received, and has responded to a can from, the mambesrs of the Baptist Chapel at Qneen's Park, Manchester, to undertake the pastorate of the church there. Qneen's Park is one of the most prosperous of the Baptist causes in Cottonopolis, In ootmeefcion with it there are fine buildings free from debt, a Sunday School with 600 aftmulants, and other institutions of a flourishing character, i Mr. Owen is only in hie 28th year, and it may be taken as a testimonial to his worth as a brilliant, preacherand a kindly pastor, that since he vacated his last pastorate at Manchester a few months ago, he has received no fewer than foar offers to retwm to the ady. I Fraud by a Colliery Clerk. John Edwin Bacon, senior clerk in the office of Messrs. Nixon's NavigatiDu Company ,Cardiff was brought before the Local magistrates on Wednes- day charged with obtaining by false pretences, a banker's cheque and order for the payment of £ 149 It. lid, the money of his employers. The i acetised, who is described as of gantktaanly ap- pearance and bearing, carried a gold watch ohaiu and held his head beat during the proceedings, j It was stated that he had been in the same am- pLoy for seventeen or eighteen yearn, and that his irregularities had extended over more than half that period. The total mm he is alleged to hare obtained by frtUld is jBl,30fl. A remand was granted for a week, defendant being bound over in his own recognizances of L2^ and two sureties of £1,000 each. I Spleaditi- Concsrt at ibe Attrart HalL With a. kjadness of heart and readiness to assort, the distressed, that does them infinite credit, Mr. Donald Lotfc (organist of Trinity Church, Swansea) and Mons. Maurice Goud- Bm, who for mafty years was a 'oelLoist in 51r Ubaries Halle's renowned bond, organised and brought to a successlul issue at the Minor Albert fha.D, on Tuesday evening, a splendid chamber concert, the proceeds of which were devoted to the fund for the alleviation of tlw unemployed at Mornston. Mr. Lott, whose ability Swansea ooncert-goers have had only a small cppoo-ttmity of ganging, for he is a new ccmer, acted as pianoforte soloist, and acquitted himseif in ftii admirable rammer, his mastery of touch and execi&Uori being moh as we are seldom privileged to hear. The oello is admitted to be the most human of all instruments in its tone, and it is not stretching a. point to say tfettf ~wer wns music so htmiany intense extracted from it as by Mons. Good- man. Perhaps the best criterion of his $kill was contained in the ovation he ruoedved at the conclusion of his performawes, for a I more critical than a oo. audience it would be difficult to find. Another artiste who scored a great success was Mr. Ricbujd Thomas, of Liianeiiy, his rendering of "Good company" being one of the evening's best things. Miss Mary 'lhomas, of Morrisfcon, appealed under trying circumstances—as a substitute for Mra. Horatio VYatkins; difficult because she had to replace so excellent a singebnt she wan th3 audience immediately in "Angus Mao- donaki," which she followed up with Tosta's Goodbye, another magnificent effort,

THE HEALTH OF THE iINDIAN…
THE HEALTH OF THE INDIAN TROOPS. Ltrd George Hamilton's Careful T reatmenll of a Delicate Subject. j How the Gov8mm;nt Propose to Dea! with I the Appalling Increas of Disease. ) A copy of a dispatch to the Government of India is issued with the Parliamentary papers tcHia.Y4 It is by Lord George Hamilton, and Qeals with the measures to be adopted for cheok- tag venereal disease among the British troops in Irdia His lordship refers to the increasing pre- valence and intensity of this contagious disease, and says Her Majesty's Government cannot ac in the continuance of this state of things. Common humanity no less than duty to the large body of British troops in India, requires that remedial measures should at once be adopted to restrain the prevalence of venereal disease. Hig I-ordship points out that in any measures whch may be adopted, there must be nothing which must be represented as an encouragement of vice. There1 must be no provision of women for soldier.- use; no registration of prostitutes; no compul- sory or periodical examination of women; and picstitates must ncrt be allowed to reside in regi- mental bazaars. Hjer Majesty's Government, however, consider that the rules applicable to cholera, small-pox, typhoid fever, diphtheria, etc., should be applied also to venereal diseass. Her Majesty's Government do not share the view that the examination of women under these rules is compulsory, but if there is any compulsion, it is PlecisPly of the same kind as that which has bean accepted as neoessary, and in force without any objection in the caae of diphtheria and typhoid fever. Women should not be obliged to attend hospital, but, as an alternative, they should be required to leave the cantonment. Her Majesty's Government also approve the employ- ment of female hospital assistants in the examina- tion and treatment of women.

I "About the year 1877, two Englishmen, strano gers to one another, the one a middle-^ged, the other a young man, occupied a post cart on their way to Kimberley. It was before the railway was built, and they were several days together Englishmen are naturally reserved and stiff to strangers, and between these two conversation was not promoted by the fact that the younger man k3pt diligently studying hie Prayer-book. The elder man's curiosity waf roused, hut being of a very reserved nature ht- said nothing. A couple of days had passed, vhen, his curiosity at last ovarcoming his re- serve, he asked the younger man what he was reading. The Thirty-nine Articles,' was the eplv. This broke the ice, and the two got to unow each other. The older man was Charles Warren, on his way up to make the boundavv for the Free State; tha younger man was the iiamond-digger, Cecil Rhodes, on his way back from Oxford to Kimberley for the Long Vaca- tion, and he was characteristically using his time in the post-cart, before he plunged again into the midst of diamonds and finance, in learning ihe Thirty-nine Articles for his next examina- ion at Oxford.

The uccess that attended his warlike expeditions; ppeared to the tribes of the Sahara a more lersuasive argument than all his preaching, td they very soon came forward voluntarily to mbrace a faith that secured such brilliant uccesses to the arms of its adherents. The first ffort of the Imam Samudu (these are the words )f a Mohammedan chronicler) was a town tamed Fulindiyah. Following the Book and the ,aw and the Traditions, he sent messengers to he king of that town, Sindidu by name, in- iting him to submit to his government, aban- on the worship of idols and worship one God, Ie Exalted, the True, Whose service is profit- ble to His people in this world and in the ext; but they refused to submit. Then he rposed a tribute upon them, as the Qurlaii ommands on this subject; but they persisted a their blindness and deafness. The Imam then rtllectfd a small force of about 500 men, brave nd valiant, for the Jihad, and be fought gainst the town, and the Lord helped him gainst them and gave him the victory over lein, and he pursued them with his horses until hey sahmitted.

The books ind note were lying on his table when Maryon ame in to dress for dinner. He had never een her handwriting before, but he instinctively ooognised it as hers as soon as his eye fell ipon it. He stood for a few seconds with the nvelope unopened in his hand, regarding it vith admiration. It was as distinctly cbarac- eristic as was Daphne herself. His lips re- laxed into a half smile as be noticed the tracing >t his name. In imagination he could see the nand, every line and curve of which he knew Hy heart, forming the letters with firm decision, until the inscription seamed to smile up under his gaze, like a living echo from the lips he longed to hear breathe forth his name. He had beguiled himself before with fancying the exact intonation that her voice would talce in pro- nouncing it. Then, with a laugh at his own sxpense, he checked the impulse that would have carried the written paper to his lips, and oroke open the eovelopo instead. The few, brAeC, jarefully-chosun words revealed more to him t/ian Daphne had dreamt of. They spoke ,o him of restraint in expression.

'I've had time to get over it, Denny; a man can't wear the willow all his life.' 'You old humbug,' said Denny, but let me go. Phroso, it is true-true that I can come to you now.'
