-r- ir- r-' LIFE AND SAYINGS OF THE REV. K ILSBY JONES. CHAPTER XIII. A SUMMING-UP OF KiLSEY. t1?O\V is Kiisby; as a man, to be diagnosed? Of the ?? thousand-and-one men who knew him, no doubt every one had marked impressions—and perhaps they all, more or less, differed, though their estimate of him was high. It is not an easy task to analyze a many-sided character like Kiisby. He produced different impressions upon people on the same occasions. To my mind, the true explanation of Kilsbv, as men knew him, loved him, or hated him, according- to their theological or political con- victions, was this: he was 6rst and last an honest Welsh mountaineer. He wao cradled among the hills and the pure bracing mountain air of Cambria, the birth-place and battle-ground of men eminent for their learning-, their eloquence, and their ndclity to truth. And no wonder that, daring- his peregrinations in the level land of the Saxon, he failed, like Noah's dove, to find rest for the sole of his foot until he returned to his fatherland. Sir Walter Scott has told us how, under all circumstances, his mind reverted to the grey hills and the wild border country in which he was born. I like (to quote his own words) "the very nakedness of the land it has something bold and stem and solitary about it. When I have been for some time in the rich scenery about Edinburgh, which is like ornamented garden-land, I begin fD v.ish back ;lg-riin aæon,; my own honest grey hills, and if I did not see the heather at least once a year I think I should die." These bold, stirring words rennet, with marvellous accuracy, Kilsby's mental condition. He loved, with a passion unknown to many, the beauty and the wildness of the grey hills of his native land. While a minister in England, his writings, lectures, and speeches betrayed a secret and indestructable longing for a return to the hills and dales of his dear old Gwalia. Being in all essentials a Welsh mountaineer, he had, without being, in the broad sense, a great man, m;iny wonderful gifts. He had the Scotch poet Burns' contempt for mere money, and with Burns could say:—' Is there for honest poverty ,\Yha hang's lus bead and a' that ? The coward slave, we pa-ss him by, And dare be poor for a' tl-mt." These burning- words of Scotland's poet, or the spirit cf them, had got into the very life-blood of Kilsby. And as to his politics, they had much of William TelFs wild daring and defiance about them. When he moved, thou- sands moved, and his words were the words of one born to lead and to inspire. Yet, despite these elements, there was much of the monk in KIlsby. And if occasion had arisen, considering his facility in saying good things, one can easily imagine him coining Luther's grand phrase concerning certain Romanists if the devils were as numerous as the slates on the roofs of the houses I would appear in Worms." When I come to look rcund the man, I arrive at the conclusion that his mind y:as very much influenced by Emerson and Channing, and that from this source came his supposed heterodoxy, so often hinted against him. I can conceive Kiisby, at his !Ir" r Ml length, declaiming those fine passages from Channing'A discourse on Spiritual Freedom: I call that mind free which jealously gTiards it;a Intellectual rights and powers, which calls no man master, which does not content itself with a passive or hereditary faith, which opens itself to light whenso- ever it may come, which receives new truth as an angel from heaven, which, whilst consulting others, inquires stiU more of the oracle within itself, and uses instructions from abroad not to supersede but to quicken and exalt its own energies. I call that mind free which seta no blinds to its love, which is not imprisoned in itself or in a sect. which recognizes in all human beings the image of God and the rights of his childrsu, which delights in virtue and sympathizes with suffering wherever they are seen, which conquers pride, anger, and sloth, and o:Sers itself up a willing victim to the cause of manldnd. I call that mind free which is not passively framed by outward. circumstances, which is not swept away by the torrent of events, which is not the croa.tuj'e of accidental impulse, but which benda events to its own improvement, and acts :hom an inward L-pring, from principles which it has deliberately espoused. I cll that mind free which protects itself against the usurpations of society, which doss not cower to human opinion, which feels itself accountable to a higher tribunal than man's, which respects a higher law than fashion, which respects itself too much to be the slave or tool of the many or the few. I call that mind free which, through confidence in God and in the power of virtue, has cast off all fear but that of wrong-doing, which no menace or peril c&n enthral, which is calm in the midst of tumults, and possesses itself though all else be lost. I can that mind free which resists the bondage of habit, which does not mechanically repeat itself and copy the past, which docs not live on its old virtues, which docs not ensja.ve itself to precise rules, but which forgets what is behind, listens for new and. higher monitions of conscience, and rejoices to ponr itself forth in fresh and higher exertions. I oall that mind free which is jealous of its own frp<*dom, wjueh I g'.1lOrds itself from being merged In others, which guards Its empire over It-self as nobler than the empire of the world. In nne, J call that mind free which, conscious of its affinity with God, and confiding in His promisea by Jesua CnT'st. devotes itself faith- fully to the unfolding of all its powers, which passes the bounds of time and death, which hopes to advance for ever, and which nnda inex- ha/sHble power, both for action and su'Sering, in the prosmct of immortality. This rough Welsh peasant will be known to posterity for his contempt for mere money and mere rank for his burning antipathy to the Tory party, because of its exclu- siveness. The land, he said, is the Lord's, and not the Tones' He will be remembered for his noble and suc- cessful eubrts to improve the education of his countrymen, and to place the Welsh race on a better footing to nght its more favoured neighbours. But, though he will be remem- bered as a Welshman, he will be known as a man who rose above mere nationality, believing that word to be a geo- graphical expression and accepting in the fullest sense of the word the dictum of Moses, that God had made out of one blood all the nations of the earth." He acted upon it. Professor Max MuUer, of Oxford, recently declared thai: he believed that every being, from the humblest type of Negro to the highest type of Greek, were all of one biood. Kilsby accepted this old dicLum of Moses and Muller as a scientific truth, and in that he stood side by side with Burns. Shakespeare, Tennyson, and many of the great men who have moved the world. Thus it was that KIIsby, though a Welshman by birth s.nd spirit, had no trace of bigotry in his system but, lil,e ever)' other mighty man, grew more generous with his age, and broad-minded with his experience. Of him it can be he added to the slory of his country, and to the lustre of his race. For ever sacred may his memory remain, and let no Welshman desecrate the spot where the bones of our hero and prophet have been buried, for he was a brave, and a pious man, and so, with re-e-mnt hands, j I place this tribute on his tomb.

They had come to storm WelLingtcn-street and right we.3 did they go about the business. The reason for the engagemn¿ ma,y as well be here explained.

FAMILY POISONED AT SWANSEA:…
FAMILY POISONED AT SWANSEA: J 4. 1 NINE PERSONS AFFECTED! BY DISEASED GOOSE. CEATH OF A SON OF THE REV. VIM. JAMES. ¡ Emrye JameR, a young Eon of the Rev. Wii&on. j James, the pastor of Ebenezer Chapel, died on j Friday morning under exceedingly painrut circumstancea. On Tuesday afternoon, i one of Mr. James' neighbours at W 000.- lands-terrace sent in for the children portion of a goose. The whole family of nve pajrtook of the food, and thev were shortly after,. wards taker. ilL Medical assistance was sum-. m<3ned. and four of the children recovered, bat < one of them, the youngest, died about four; on Friday morning. Death is certined as being! caused by ptomaines—bacilli genera-ted in tha, bMiy dtiring putrefaction and during inorbi<t- conditions prior to death. 1 It 8ee.ms thi-t next door to Mr James them; lived Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, and Miss Thomas, a sifter of Mrs. Jackson. On Saturday last MrsLj' .Jack&cn purchased a. goose, winch they had for dn!r)br en Sunday On Tuesday' evening Mrs. James vent in-vo Mr. Jackson's,,¡ and the latter said "I ha, :hc re''nains of a Eica. goose here, and if you &In't mind you may ha.w' it. Perhaps the children vould like it." Mm.. ¡ Jajt?cs accepted the oSer and took in two lega,; 'n'hich were subseq nenUy apportioned betweeto.' Elsie James, Edgaj James, Gladys James, 1&-im; James, Emrys Ja.mes., the latter a pretty nttta fellow of years, and the servant. Miriam Wil- iiajus. In the course of that mght, or early ilm the following mnming two children were ta-ksn i!l, Emrvs and his youngest sister being the nrs& t,t) comptain. The other children followed in ,neee,g,;on, and the tvrvatat wns so dl that nn Wednesda.y she had to be driven to her home at Rhyddings. Dr. John Evans was caUed ir- with Di. D. Evans, but although they successfull y treated four of the children, little Emrys was sa a-Secbed that he died on Friday. It is said jtha.t Miss WiUiams has also been unwell, and. that Mr. and Mrs. Jackson have also beec. a& fectecl. The death of the child has been certine4 as being due to poisoning by pt:oina.:pes, but < post mortem examination will be made, and tt)t inquest subsequently held. THE GOOSE. The case is rather a remarkable <me, and h« excited a good deal of interest amongst the medical gentlemen of the town. The gDCfe ift ntud to have presented a nae healthy appearance. and to have home no evidence of being tamted in any way. It is surmMpd that it had swallowed some 'poisonous matter before beins''killed. PTOMAINE POISONING NOT RARE. There seems to be same consideraLle doubt M to whether this case of ptomaine poisoning on Friday is the nrat fatal one in the district. In ,-orvrsa,,taon w'th a. "Leader" repre.-entatdve, DT. Kbenczer Davies, the medical onicer .1 heaJth, sa.id that he recollected a very severe casa in Swansea. sjme two years ago, but he could not tax his recollection a-s to whether or not it. eided ia.ra,!iy. In the course of a chaA with Dr. Ja-bes Thomas a "Leader" represent?- tivp gicaj?ed some very interesting facts concern* itig ptonLa.ine p?iso?nng. Dr. Thomas could not charge his memory with any fataJ caBe in Swaj).?ea, but he saJd t.h:),t pcomaine poisoning was by no means the rarity generally believed. Tho a'utei:css of the attack depGnded upon the condition of the subject and the number of ptomaines. In the general run 01 cases it set up acute so 1K'caee quickly purged from the system instead of laying for a time ajid becoming deadly. In somo other cases violent vomiting followed the partaking of the poisfon, and the system 'mm ridded in that manner, The poison was. of course, generated by the putridity of ine,.tt or fcsh, and it wa.9 more cfcen in tinned goods rather than other. Still, the worst ca.S8 he rr<*o!!cct<=d was some two years or so ago a<6 Bnrryport. There a whole family were badly poisoned by eating some brawn., and this waa not ol the tinned variety. Parent hetlca.Uy, Dr. Thomas said timt the most curious uung he knew in connection with ptomaines was the ea?y development in meat only a trine "gone." and its extreme rarity in hurg game. however "high the latter becajne. The prevention, as an- nounced by the doctor, was tha.t no tinned stuna or anything the least suspicious should be eaten cold, but should be thoroughly well bgiW OPENING OF THE INQUEST.

- THE BALLET GIRL" 4.-
THE BALLET GIRL" 4. APPEARS AT SWANSEA GRAND THEATRE. It by now must appear quite commonplace or to see recorded that. Miessrs.! Mcreil SKored another success a.t the Swan;;Mt Grind T?'?rs. The remark may by mis t'Jne appear trite and "nil worn. but iL is true, th i:õ week a;3.fI- Last! wo&k they were crowding the thea-tro with lovers of opera.. and this week they are stiil catering fcr tha sMdc class of patrons. There was an old idea that tbosa who admire malodra.ma cannot be induced to look ."ith Im'in.g cya upon any- thing lighter. Now the mana-gEmenc. here do not; desJ elerama-they give it to their patrons both ii good light opei'a ard roUicking farce is pre-j sented it will have an ail-round patronage. And' their judgment is being proved to be correct, as the gallery and pit at any opera, night will toil. ? And thess things are -i4ob merely tolerated, they? are received with the hu.\J:tlle;>s of applause that; shows real welcome. No ono couid mistake the warmth of the wel- come accorded thu "Bailt"t Girl." And it de-: served it a.U ajid a piece more, for those who like their paJa.te titillated by gocd honest fun. mere than ft. bit fareial, spic.cd nicely with set' to captn.tillg a.ir3. :;¡U} gt1,r-cish.ed with beautiful dancer, this is exactly the pie<*e bo a.pp:-eciate as a bill of iaj-e. The stci-y is, as should always .Ye the case in a musica.1 comedy, simple. In these things the audience sitould never ba in a stai.e of mystincation. Mr. Tauner knows ttiat, ar:d the playoe;rs a.ro as much in hi. coniidenco as tlie dftors right from the commencement of the piece, and they appreciate it all the more thoroughly. A ba.llet girl from the :FúlÜ:1i; Theatre, Psj'is, is beloved by Lord Cromarthy, j the son of the Earl of Kilb-eggan, an impe, cunious, fortune-banting Irish peer. They run! sway to get married at Kcerenberg'sn cr:, the! Rhine, where Nita Vanderkoop. the daughter! of an American Milj.iouu.ire. is masquerading as' a poor peasant girl. A destitute artist, Van Evt, M also rusticating there, and he, 01 coui'sa, faHs in love wnh. Nita.. The earl hears that Nita is in the village, &o arrives on the scene deter'; mined to win her and ten nulliocs. Equally, ol course, he misKLkcs Viciette (the ba.i'et girl) for N iLa, and declares his love for her in a funny way which hhe imagines to be a consent to he" marriage with tha son. There also inevitably tu.nm up Eugene Taradelle, director of the ,Folies, who oroci-s Violette back to Paris. He is on the "boom," insists on the earl carrying out his promise, or there shall be a suit for breach, nnda Vac- Eyt has painbed a picture that is all the rage, and secures him to turn out posters for the theatre. Eyt finds tht Nita. is an heiress, and, believing that she haR been playing with him, refnses to recognise her a.uy more, though the latter has evidently grown to love him. Of course, in Paris all this clears up. The earl con- sents to his son wedding Videos—so that he may have a chance with the heireas—but is, of course, frustrated by Van Eyt. Ici such a plot there are immense possibilities for good, honesty fun, and the author ha- made the mrjst of them, the piece simply teeming with laughter-provok- ing incidents. The musical numbers are musical. T f?- are full of brightness and sparkle, there not being a bar that is not marked by delicacy and insight of the motive of the librettist. The' beauty of this, too, is that those responsible for the representation are more thar merely capable ? —are able to pourtray their parts with an abandon of feeling that at times is almost witching To mention a few of the songs timt took the ?audim,ce by storm: "In America," Nn.a.: -I. Stitch in Time, Nita and Van Eyt.; "The Elopement," Violetta & Comarthy; "The Earl," the Earl; "Song and Dance," Violetbe; "My Home," .ac. Eyt; "A Broom," Vaji Eyt and Taradelle- These were oniy a i'ew of the num- brs that were deemed worthy of recall, the piece being studded with songs that tickle the public ear. The notica would be incomplete without msntion of the charming "Pas de Deux" danced by Violette and Mr. K W. Royce, jun., which fairly stormed the audience with its graceful- ness of evolution; and the charming terpsi- ciloreaLn efforts of the Denton and Bishop Quar- tet. All the parts were excelently sustained. Mr. Biaclnnore was Van Hyt. the Earl was pourtra.yed by Mr. Lacy, Croma.rthy was play e(i by Mr. Lindsav. Eugene was Mrsona.ted by: Mr. Porteous, Miss Violet Dene was the Violette.' and Miss Denuy ma.do the assumption of Nita., whi!e all the reat of the CL'sj'acters were in capabl,) hands. The piece was beautiifully staged and mounted, an.. its visit will this week nrove an undeniable success, The management surprised t.ha nrst night: patrons in a very nice ma,nner, occupants oij the circle and boxes being presented wi.- very! pretty bouquets of chrysa.ntbe'mcxna made up by Messrs. E. Paeons {m?. Co. t ?
