It is, tjp'efufe, of great importance that all who am&v Appearance should bo careful to make iflt purchases only from such houses as Ie Style, -Fit, and Quality, combined ifttli economy, their leading features. Winter especially required that change in our attirs which is so -necessary for the due .protection, of our health and comfort. It is, therefore, of gr«fc importance that we should be supplied nim overcciats and other warm clcthing, not onJjj ait a moderate charge, but ao fashion- ahle and well made, as well as being selected fr. materials of modern dssign and durable chy&gter. To these important requisites Masses and Co'ijANt have especially de|ored their attention, and the reader may depeiid upon being supplied with all he re- quires at either of their establishments. Every persfer to whom economy is an obct should certainly inspect their stcfclf beford purchasing efeewhere. The position occupied by this firm in the markets as the largest buyers of clothing in Wales or the West of England enables them -fre- quently to secure goods at such prices as defy competition, it bemg an indisputable fact that the tradesman who Cl1 buy largest must; bny on more favourable terms than the f mailer buyer.

I IONDA Y" JANUABY 12, 1885. I SOUTH WALES NOTES. V r' THESE is bad news again altJ to the iiieasies. La3:" mondi it was cniefiy due to this" disease t.iat the Cardiff death-rate obtained such unenviable predominance, and now there is anuthcr epidemic to be faced in iloath. Canton, Grongetovvn, and other piace3 have passed through the ordeal, and at last the disease has broken out in another direction. So bad "does if seem to be that the medical officer, sit a special meeting on Satur- day, actually advised the temporary closing of ail the elementary schools. I am not an alarmist, and hardly think that matters are bad enough for that at present. That there is need of every possible vigilance is, however, clear, and that every child should be watched, and that constant visits should be paid to the hom&3 of the parents, is a DroEtramme which sn>uld bemOst- rigidlv fulfilled. I WITHOUT wishing to excite any unnecessary fear among parents, I may yet call attention to the fact that in Grangetown the rate of mortality' from measles alone was at ojie time as high as 60 per 1,000. Last week in Roath there were no lesa than fifteen deaths from the disease. These facts have to be faced, and they are eloquent to prove the necessity for the strictest care among all who have the charge ef children. To send a child to school from a house where there is conta- gious CiAsease. is simply shameful and cowardly.. Yef this is probably llOYl the disease has been spread. THAT the authorities are fully alivebu the necessity of inspection I aui glad to learn from the following communication which I have received from the chairman of the school board Doctor iPalae, as the medical olSter of.health, having drawn the attention of tho chairman of the scnoril board to the epidemic amongst the -children of the towa, it tiaa been arranged ior tiie staff of attendance officers, which will lie tempo- rariiy increased, t!»<U)Vote their whole attention to visiting the homes, so as to prevent the chilciraii from aliy infected homes attending tue schools." IT i3 pleasing to learn that the collection at workshops aaid works in aid of the infirmary, which is made on one Saturday in the year in Cardiff "and the district, has this year been the largest that hasbeen made since the movement started some years gince. The working men have given nearly S300 out of their wages. Some of the figures are sug- gestive. It is estimated that nearly 50,000 workmen contributeand that the separate donations averaged between 6d and 9c\ This is perhaps as much as their qariliu-A- jusb now will admit of. their giving. The present condition of the fund is satisfactory compared with that at one time, when the movement seemed in danger of languishing. The revival is due, no doubt, to the new energy introduced by the hon. secretaries, Messrs Lincoln and Lock, as well as to the assistance of the secretary of tllo infirinary, Mr Coleman. But the satisfactory feature of it all is the proof afforded that the, working men of Cardiff" are willing to give if they are only asked in the proper way. COULD any better means be adopted, so that even the present amount might be increased One of the local secretaries tried last year to start a weekly collection of one penny, and 'where this was carried out the effects were satisfactory. The chief difficulty lies with those employers who consider the collection irksome, and wilL not take the necessary trouble. This is a pity. Charity flows most readily when the pocket is fullest. and such a weekly collection would be just the means to give the greatest spirit to that of the working men. So far as I can understand, Saturday's de- cision of tke Cardiff Guardians in the matter of Dr Sheen's salary has created considerable dissatisfaction among the ratepayers. The doctor's salary for the union and the Ely Schools was Then, mainly because of distanc,- between his house and the schools, it was>thought better to have a separate medical officer for tho schools. At the same time It was considered that the increase of work ab the union should, b3 recognised by an increase in the salary., The first committee, therefore, proposed to take away the work of the schools and raise tho salary to B175. Dr. Sheen replied to this by offering to do the work of both for but this was not. agreed to, and the second committee (proposed to-give the doctor £2,00, To this, however, the board sad(I "no", ia emphatic terms, and the committee met again, with the result of Saturday's compromise. This really means that work to the amount of £ 26 a year is taken away, and an addi- tion made to the salary of about half its original amount. The majority that adopted r the resolution was smail,\and I stiould not be surprised if they heard of the subject agaia, and pretty sliarply., THE Newport Town Council on Tuesday will have another discussion on the subject c the | -prospect of getting separate representation. If public feeling in the town could arrange the matter it would be Soon settled, as it is considered a very great hardship that a thriving, prospering pMce like Newport,, with 40,000 inhabitants, shouIH have to loose its individuality and subside into compara- tive obscurity among the Monmouth District Boroughs." But unfortunately the 'feeling of the inhabitants wilt not be the deciding power. Much may be done, and I am &ure will be done, to agitata for the coveted prize. At the same time the public will be glad to know, in what direction precisely the Town Council intend; to move. For this reason tho debate, is eagerly awaited in the. town, and nothing short of very energetic pleasures will satisfy the public. I HAVE not yet seen the agenda for next Wednesday's meeting of the Swansea Town Council, but from what I can learn, it con- tains the welcome announcement that the reproach from which Swansea has for so long suffered, as being the worst lighted town in the kingdom, will soon be removed. After much difficulty, the corporation has succeeded- in bringing the gas company to their senses, and an rrangemeat has been entered into by lu-aus of which Bray's lamps will be introduced into the town. It is, of course, too much to expect that in'a town, which moves so slowly ill these matters as Swansea, that there will be an immediate improvement on a large scale, ,but it is intended at once ,to erect these brilliant lamps in some of ,the prin- cipal thoroughfares; and since these new lights will by comparison make the rushlights- which will remain in many streets appear ttill more, ridiculously inadequate, I have no doubt the ratepayers will soon insist on Bray's lamps beirlg erected in all but the' bye-streets'. For my part,I can't conceive why the corporation have allowed so iyjjch valuable time to be wasted in an endeavour to come to terms with,the gas company. It would have been much better if the corporation had—as, I be-ieve, they will still have to du-aken advantage of their compulsory powers, and purchased this profitable concern for the benefit of the ratepayers..

THE Nile expedition is making good progress, and if all continues to go well it is not un- likely that before the month is out Lord WOLSELEY will be able to shake hands with General GORDON. It seems now to be pretty clear that it is intend^ to reach GORDON by the desert route f*n Sorti to Shendy—Korti being at one end and Shendy at the other of the great horse-shoe bend of the 'Nile. The bulk of the forces of the MARDI lie between those two points *in the neighbourhood of Berber, sp that, unless he is bent on giving battle, the rescue inay I)e effected without any serious engage- ment. This may seem pdd, seeding that Khartoum is besieged; but the fact of the matter is the seige has never been of such, a character as to prevent General Gordon plying his steamers as far as Shendy, and tliishehas done pretty often, dealing out desttuc^n on the way. It is reported tlrat several of GORDON'S steamers ,are now at Shendy. Lord WOLSELEY sas if a steamer is att Sliendj1 when General STEWART reaches Met em meh, "lie will' communciate with General GORDON without delay." Metemmeh, it may be stated, is (tile opposite banof the Nile to Shendy, and it is expccted that General Stewart will arrive there on Thursday next, "taking the desert route via Gakdul, which is a present occupied by British troops. What if General GORDON, and those who wish to leave Khartoum with him, .-should be upon a steamer at Shendy on General STEWART'S arrival1 The rescue would be, effected—the object of thxDeditíoll wouhl be accomplished. It is just possiblwhat some such pleasant surprise may be ik store for us. Everything noiv depends upon the attitude of the MAHDI if he meafts tp fight, there will be bloodshed and. considerable delay, for it is stated that he -lias 5,000 troops in the vicinity of jMetemmeh, They at it is true, disheartened by failure and famine but they are brave and reck- less, aud if they mean to bar our way we tray be sure Lord WOLSELEY will not risk an encounter until our forces are more concentrated than they are at present. The fact that the MUDXK of DONGOLA has beeu requested to proceed to Merawi, which is fprtber up the Nile than Korti, would suggest that Lord WOLSELEY has a prospect of work for him in the way of negotiation or organisation. OSMAN DIGNA makes no sign, and would seem to have as much as he can do to hold his own against hostile tribesmen. He is like an extinct volcano and we trust to hear before long that the MAHDI has become as impotent and as harmless. I

THE announcement that as the.tesult of the I Treharris colliery accident two cases are to be brought against the company for damages under the Employers' Liability Act, will again draw- the attention of local miners to the advisability of joining the Miners' Permanent Fund. It appears that two of the men killed were members of the fund, and although they had only paid their first contribution, their .widows I ir Ivt will be entitled, to the full bene- fits* accruing from membership. Surely this fact will canso colliers in those districts in which tlie fund has not obtained a good footing to consider the matter. The Employers' Liability Act is doubtless a thoroughly good measure btit it is a difficult and costly -process to obtain averdictunder the Act, aP (t when obtained the CMe ca bo carried from court to court until ,j the patience and the means of the plaintiff are exhausted. For these reasons, except that the 'l\ ct caused the formation of the j Permanent Fund, it has been of little prac- tical benefit to the miner.

Mary, be just, and don't hate Cousin Tom because his other name happens to be La Place." r But no doubt it was a very perplexing thing to have two Cousin Toms; and so, about six months subsequently. Miss Mary contrived to obviate that inconvenience by allowing one of them to assume a nearer relationship and in spite of all her assertions to the contrary, she is Mrs Profes- sor La Place. For it is a solemn fact in this world, that when- ever a girl'says she never, never will do a thing, she.is pretty- sure to do it the first chance she gets; and Mary is no exception to tlm general rule.

FACTS AND FANCIES. -+. WHEN PAPA COMES HOME.—A well-known London alderman tells a stqyy at his own expense, 'about a small donkey he; ant to his country- house for the use qf tiie children. One of the little daughters, going out with the nurse to admire the animal in its paddock, sorely distressed when the donkey lifted up his voice and brayed dolefully. "Poor thing, poor thing!" exclaimed the sympathetic child. But, suddenly brightening up, plie turned to her nurse, and said, Oh, I am so glad Papa .will be here on Satur- day, and then it won't feel so lonesome." • ABOCT A SHM'BNT IN HUMAN SHAPE.—Mr, afterwards Baron, Piatt had a decidedly comic physiognomy, and took much delight in assuming Melancholy avrs. On one occasion, v^hen he was oefore Lord Lyndhurst, the judge said to him, Pray spare us that wife-and-twelve-children faict! But the woe-begone looks which had so little effect upon the judge served at times to impress tli,) jury and in a breach of promise case w Platt gfined for his client more damages than might otherwise have been awarded to her by winding up with the pathetic outburst—" And, gentleman, this serpent in human shape stole the heart of my unfortunate client whilst she returning from confirmation A SWEET REJIINDEK.— Some years ago, as the great Barnum was selling off his menagerie, he notified that when lot 20, a ferocious female Ben- gal tiger, was put up several bids came from a quiet ordinary-looking citizen dressed in deep moimiing, anything'but a showman in appear- ance, and finally the animal was knocked down to this stranger. After all was over, Barnum ap- proached him, and inquired what on earth he could want with such a quadruped. Waal, re- plied the puichaser, with a profound and sugges- tive sigh, "you see, professor, I, was a married man, and my wife died last week, and I miss her; so I've bought this tiger." Barnum silently pressed the wido wer's hand. A chord had been touched. The two men -understood each other, and no more was said. UNANSWERABLE QUESTIO..A. gentleman was passing the Institute of France, on the Quai Couti, the other day, accompanied by a little .English boy of tthe tender age of seven. Be- fore that building, consecrated to ,thc sog-es of Stance, is a fine feta'ue of the Re- public, which is represented as a woman. The child asked, what it was, and, Joeing told, said "Then it is she who now reigns in Franca. That is curious for I thought that no woman could reign here." Tha reply was, Yes, that is the law." Then, if so, why is there a Republic here ? The French seem to like changing their ntifcds," added the child.

The other was homely, and carried a big bag. A beautiful girl jumped up, and said to the grey- haired woman, Take my seat, madam I am 'jovtagqk than-you." Then every man in the tram rose and offered his place to theooautinll girl who only .smilsd sweatly, and. said, No, thank you I prefer to stand.

THEATEIOAX- MIXTOBE. — An actor of the-name of Bass, says a, writer in the Theatre, was the manager of a provincial theatre' in England on the boards of which Bdihurirl Kean once appeared ifir a' feiv nights. During his brief engagement Othello was performed three or four times, the rdle of the Mqor and his ancient being alter- nately assumed by the great tragedian and tho manager. One evening they had been dining to- gether, and the bottle had peen passed ,too freely. They got through the play however without theiv. ccaidicion being discovered by the audience until they came to the scene in the third act in which Othello seizes iago bv the throat and delivers the speech beginainr, Villain, be sure thou prove," &C. Kear., who orr this occasion was. the Othellrl" as he spoke, grasped Iago so, fiercely ti(at, being, sortsewha? unsteady on his l^gs,'he -fell, dragging his companion down with him. This accident coufused them both, and, when thojrrngaiaed tiieir feei,Aea»i, inatead of-.waiting for Ba s to continue the dialogue, himself uttered the''exclamation, "is it come to this?" which properly belongs to làg-o. Bas, who-was letter perfect '*■ in either part took the cue, and went «n with that of Othello. For a moment or two tha audience Were not a little puzzled by this inter- change of .characters but, as soon as the real facts of the ease dawned upon them, they appre- cnted to the. full tha absurdity ot- the situation, and the remainder of the scenes-usually ligteaed to in breathless silen.ee-vlas grP- with ifequent peals of laughter. Both actors were alike surprised and disgusted at, the merriment they caused. Kean in particular was in a tower- ing re ge. Anger in some measure sobered him. Still he had to suspicion of tha bliKider he had been guilty of, and when hs quitted -he sta^e ne made hiS way hastily to the greenrooin. As lie, enttrod the apartment, however, the reflection oi his bronzed visage and Moovisn garments ia a small mirror over the mantelpiece caught his eyo, and, turning to' his fellow-actor he abrupt y exclaimed, "By Heaven, Bass, lm Otnello!" Of course w are ? =' was tne response. Then wiiv the deuce did you "assume my cliaracter ?" was the aitgry query. -uscause you in the tist instance took mine, and" being as drurik as you were, I simply followed •your lead." Kean was about to make-a;-furious rejoinder'to this retort, -iwhan suddenly, tiie hi:iiaf)u'6u» side of-the incident striking fiuj, the .heavy iroWHJthich had gathered on. his brow re- laxed, and, buretirtg into a hearty tit of laughter, he-feud, Well, after all, I belieVe it was 4s. much my fault-as yours.. TInt I fancy we shall tin(I tlle. people in front in no very appreciative 'humour ujwiftg the remainder of tiie even'm# In this, however, Kean was mistaken.

YANKEE YARNS. I BIP VAN WTVTvT.ir. while Mi Josepli. Je fferso-a was once playing hip van Winkle at Chicago, he went to the tneatre very much exhausted by' a long day's fisnwg on the lake. When the curtain rose on tnetmrd aci, it ci.sc.osed' the white-haired Rip still deep HI his twenty years' nap. Five ten twenty minutes passed, and the did not waken. Tho audience began ^to get impatient and the prompter uneasy. The great actor doubtless knew what he was about, but this was carrying the "realistic" business too far. The fact was that all the time Jefferson was real-y sleeping the sleal) of tho j List, or rather of the fisherma-a who had sat eight hours in the sun .without getting a single bite. Finally the gallery became uproar- ious, and one of the "gods" wanted to know if there was going to ba "nineteen years more of tJ;is snooze business." At this point Jefferson began to snore. This decided the prompter, who opened a small trap beneath the stage and began io prod Rip from below. The much-travelled comedian began, to fumble in his pocket for an imaginary ticket, and muttered drowsily, Going right through, 'ductor." The audience was trans- fixed with amazement at this entirely new read: ing, when Jefferson sat up with it- loud shriek, and evidently in agony. The exasperated prompter had jabbed him with a pin. The play nt on then—with a rush. ■* A CALIFORNIAN BARGAIN. The other day one or Frisco's most esteemed young burglars was by some oversight arrested and fined for creating a disturbance. In default of the fine he was to stay in gaol thirty days. The prisoner was deeply humiliatef by this sen- tence, as "burbling" has been so dull recently- that he was not in funds. He sent, however, for a well-known Pine-street broker. "Mr R. said the burglar- they were oid college chums—" I want to make you a business proposition, Last month yOur house was entered and robbed of a fine breach-loader gun, a stem-winder watch, and a pair of diamond studs." Yes. Well?" Well, I took 'am; but you can't prove 'it. Now, if you will pay my present fine, l'n return you the gun or the watch—take your choice." I'll tell you what I'll do," suid the broker, after a second's reflection—" I'll do it for the gun and the studs." Couldn't possibly,' said the crowbar artist. I want the studs to wear at a dinner the boys are getting up. But I tell you what I will do. My dress vest buttons up pretty high I can get along with one stud so I'll let yon have the other. Now, what d'ye say?" "It's a go," said the broker, and he passed out and settled up. A BIG INVESTMENT. A New Yorker was seated in an office in Gunnson city one day not long ago, when a grisly-looking old man entered and asked if that was the place where they sold shares of the White Horse Silver Mine. Being assured that he was in the office of the company, he observed, I have heard the White Horse spoken of as being a likely mine." It certainly is. We took ten thousand Illilars' worth of ore out in one day." "Phew! She must be just old richness How many men have ye got to work?'' "Oh, about three, hundred Have ye, though ? Are the sheers going off purty lively ?" Shares are selling like hot Takes, and wo have only a few left. Every- body says the White Horse is a bi investment." What are sheers worth to-day ?" I will sell you at ninety-five, though I know they will be worth face-value to-morrow." "1,9 Yon don t really mean ninety five?" "I do," "Well, that's better. There's a hundred sheers which you sold my pard yesterday for twenty dollars. I went over to the mine, found nothing but a hole and a dead mule, and I told him I'd come up and get his money back or do some-shooting. I'm 'tarnal glad to find them sheers has riz from twenty to ninety-five. That will give my pard his money back, and buy me a winter outfit besides.Here's the sheers, and now let me see the colour of the money."

I There was a Detroiter among the trio of officials who passed over the route of the Butler Road to secure the right of way. In some cases farmers cheerfully signed od; in others money had to be used but in one case the "committee found a most determined oppositipn. The road would divide a widow's farmland she was independent, obstinate, and defiant. She knew that her haystacks and barns would be destroyed by sparks, her live stock run over by trains, and her slumbers disturbed by the rattle of trains, and she would not-lisfen to argument. In this emergency one of the committee said, Madam, do you know of any widow in this neigbourhood who would .be billing to board a gentleman connected with the construction of our road ? He is a widower, and prefers to board with a widow." "No, I don't .know as I do. Is he a nice man?" "Splendid man, :>:d has money iu the bank. We want him to locate psniianently at. this point, and are in hopes he will take a wife. it is unfortunate that-" "1 never did take boarders," she mused; "but-" "If you only could now, I'm sure you would not regret it. He is extremely fond of children, and would be like a father to your little ones." Perhaps I might accoinmo- dote you." "Ah, thanks! He would be here nexu week if this right-of-way matter was decided; but, as it is, he may not-" "Do you agree to pay damages if 'you burn my barn?" "Of course we do." And I'll probably get used to the noise?" "Ob, of course. In a week you won't minclit. Fact is, yuu'll sit np every night till midnight, anyhow, after the gentleman arrives." -"Oh no I shan't!
