An Impostor at Kidwelly.  N -k NLW I THE CHINESE MISSIONARY 1? A NEW ROLE. WANTS TO BUY A FARM AND IS AX INSPECTOR, OF LOCOMOTIVES. At KiCt\H:lly TO'H1 Han on TU8Sd,'(, Thos. At I Jones t-aaed about 30) was brought up in cus- tody and charged before Messrs. l), 0 Anthony (Mayor) and George E. Bowen, with obtaining food and lodgings by false pretences. Mr and Mrs Thomas, Green, Xantygro, said that prisoner came to their house on the evening of the 27th of May, and asked for lodgings, saying he had come to examine the engine (Mr. 'Yo Young'), They agreed to give him lodgings, and he said the Company I would pay all, and that he would require to stay about a week. He came into the liou se about, 9.15 p.m., and stayed all next day. When lie left lie said he was going to meet his mate It was on the understanding that the Company was going to pay that they took him in. He had no clothes or luggage with him when he came. I Mr Thomas Hall, Pac-beley, manager of the A.Y. Silica Brickworks, said: I did not em- ploy the defendant at all, neither was lie em- ployed by Mr. Young. He has never been in the employ of the Company, and he had no authority whatever to tell anybody that the Company would pay for his lodgings. Mrs Owen and her son, Penymynydd, Kid- welly, gave evidence, and said that defendant came to them on May 27th at about 7.30 p.m. He asked for loggings, and said he was com- ing about the engine They agreed to give him lodgings, and he had supper that night and breakfast next day. He said the Com- pany would pay all his expenses, and would pay 20s. a week for his board and lodgings. He left next morning, saying he was going to the Brickworks. He sai(-l his wa-z? J). W. Nay smith, and he wrote on a piece of ?I)aDer, ?k-Ilich he gave her, this name, accom- panied by the mystic letters, I'a. Ea. --Nl. Eng., 38 Oxford Street, Edinburgh, Scotland" He also said he had a box with clothes at Kidwelly Station. P.C. P. J. Da vies gave evidence of arrest, I and stated that when charged the defendant replied that lie had fold them all a lot of lies, and he said it was quite right that he was guilty. He did not know what made I him do it, but he was very sorry now. Supt. Roger's said that some two years ago prisoner had been convicted at Llanelly of stealing a tin box of clothes, and had been sent to gaol for three months. He had also passed at the time in several places as a Chinese missionary, and in that guise had obtained food and lodgings at several place- I' Prisoner pleaded guilty to all the charges, and pleaded for leniency. The Mayor severely admonished, him, and defendant promised to mend his ways in the future. He was sentenced to one month's im- prisonment.

HARBOURLIGHTS. The Whitsuntide holidays have slackened I trade, but there is every prospect of a fair a I -0- la dealing with timber, the quay space available at the North Dock is of great ser- vice for teitiporary storage. -0-- In th? )lder sailing-ghip days the ï8ssels I discharged at about th? pace as that at which timber could be conveniently received into the yards, but with a steamboat things are the 3- ,,tr d s, b?.it N\-itli i. different. With her heavier standing charges she cannot afford leisurely discharging, or loadiilg, and will only be found where she can count 'upon despatch. — n — With boats oi such size as cannot, as yet, count upon an outward return cargo of c-oal from Llanelly, the call for despatch is still i- mine urgent. So far, fortunately, the equipment of the North Dock for giving such despatch has proved excellent. There itS apparently, uo fault to be found with it.. If it only had a chance of working regularly to its full capacity, the half-yearly balance- sheet of the Trust would soon take on a more favourable complexion. I -0- I There is no reason \\hy it should not, gran- ted only the slightly deepened channel out- side, and for carrying this out the consent of the, B"ard of Trade is still being awaited.

The Doom of a World. f I (By a Banker.) Our lovely satellite, though a dead world, is yet most beautiful in death. Hanging full- orbed and resplendent in the canopied dome of the midnight sky, shedding a silvery light I over the landscape, or illumining the rippling I wavelets of the ocean with a lustrous "angels' pathway extending from far out on the I horizon to the shore itself, where it swirls and splashes as though formed of liquid silver, the queen of the night with her calm and placid splendour is ever supremely at- tractive and most lovely. But when examined through a powerful jj telescope it is seen that ehe is but the wreck of a world; that though at. one time the scene of Nature's mightiest energies, a very holocaust of ferment and fire, yet now she is but a cold and. lifeless mass; inert and ex- tinct. But in that far-of f epoch her entire surface-at any rate, the whole of the one hemisphere which is visible from the earth- I was studded with huge, live, volcanoes. Not puny earth-rents like Vesuvius, or Etlla, or Kratkatoa, but towering and stupendous mountains, many with craters three hundred or more miles in circumference, and with a depth so prodigious that probably one crater such as Schickard could contain every vol- cano on this earth. I And what a lurid spectacle must she have presented, especially at new moon, when viewed from the earth. Each one of those innumerable and gigantic caldrons oi fire belching forth cataracts and whirlwinds of; livid flame high up into the ether; Imge-i masses of incandescent rock ejected from the interior and hurled even over those lofty ¡ parapets into the adjacent plain, where they ¡ now lie; stupendous columns of fiery SHl 0 ko j mounting high up into the air; whsl-e-the- en- j tire burning orb must have appeared like a j doomed world condemned to a fiery. ruin; in all dtractions .hundreds of square miles of glowing incandescent gases and sheets of i flame perpetually vomited forth., a wild hypo- j canst of fiery and convulsive turmoil. But at that time this earth was not ready j for the. hahitiltion of man, though possibly j in that far off aeon, the first, or the second, j day" of creation, the. gradual extinction of j the lunar fires may have taken place. And then [It length, when the beauties of our tor- j restial globe were perfected, and its beauti- I ful satellite, no longer a globe of raging fire, j but a lovely illuminator of the night, man is created And, alas, no sooner created than a j faHen rebel! But happily for us the Son of God in infinite mercy and love, hy, on the cross of shame, Himself bearing the punish- ment, has satisfied the demands of Justice. on behalf of repentant mortals, and has pro- vided a means of escape from the conse- j quence both of that. If all, and of committed • transgressions. j — 1
