AN ODIMISTS VIEW OF THE NAVY. 13m THOMAS BUASSKY ON 1118 DEFENCE. Sir Thomas Brassey, M.P., addiessed a great Liberal meeting at l'iytuouth on Thursday night in aid of the candidature of Lord Korington for the Tavistock Division. In so doiny he remarked tnat any Government winch eiiould neglect the navy would forfeit, and deservedly so, the confi- dence of the country. In order to respond to the challenge the Conservatives had thrywu out, it was nece»sary to make some comparisons. From the accesslOD of the present Adluinistralion to office ths insufficiency of ironclad construction had been urged against it. We were enormously superior to France in hrst-class vessels we were slightly superior to her in vessels of the second cla* and in the old class vessels, which were of great practical value, we stood admirably. Russia possessed ouly oue vessel of the first class, and, wiui tile CXCepl101I of Italy, little was Ueitrg done by oilier countries.

A SPANISH VENDETTA. 5ESPERATE FAMILY QUARKKL. The Madrid correspondent of the J'tlit Murttil- lait relates a striking instance of the intensity of family quarrels in Spain. About a year ago a gipsy named Moralis was assassinated at Zerza, in the province of C'aceies, by one of his comrades niinied SlIm, The latter was in due course tried and condemned to death, but his execution did not satisfy the vengeance of the victim's family. Tiiere had been ill-feeling between the two families for three years, but there had been no open quarrel until the murder of Moralis. Soon after tho execution of the murderer, which took place last month, the two families met on their return from a fair near the town of Caceres. They had their mules and cattle with them. There were about ftfty un each side, in- cluding women and children. A rugular pitched battle ensued, revolvers, knives, and sticks being freely used by the men, while tho women eiti- ployed their nails with considerable effect, and the children threw stones indiscriminately. Tho result of the struggle was that the heads of the two families were both killed, two of the women, and several of the children. There were ten or twelve wounded, aud the bodies of the dead were horribly mutilated. It the mounted police had not interrupted the fight there would have been many more lives lost. Several of the mules were killed, and the baggage of the two families was strewn about in such disorder that the road for nearly half a mile looked all If a large army had beaten a retreat along it.

[FAILURE OF TEMPERANCE I LEGISLATION IN AMERICA. PHENOMENAL INCREASE IN THE I CONSUMPTION OF DRINK. FUTILE PROHIBITION EFFORTS. In the Times of Thursday Mr. William Tallack, of the Howard Association, contributes • litter giving some most remarkable figurtt showing that, notwithstanding the stupendous efforts of American Prohibitionists, the consumption of drink in the United States is rapidly increasing. He says :—- There have recently appeared In certain American journals several stattmenta highly Instructive from a social point of view, which do not seem to have been noticed in this country, but of which a brief account may be useful to English readers as tending to illustrate some causes of failure and success iu the promotion of temperance. The first of these is an almost dospairing I appeal unto Ca^ar,' or, in other words, to the American people, from the Executive Committee 0: the Pro. hibition Piirty-fin organisation whoM aims are similar to those of the United Kingdom Alliance for the Total Suppression of the Liquor Traffic. The American Prohibitionists, in their appeal, point out that while during recont years three of the United States-nainely, Maine, lows, and Kansaa-have succeeded in placing prohibition in their State Constitutions, yet simultaneously there has been going on throughout tho country as a whvlo a terrible and most disheartening increas0 in the consumption of intoxicating liquors. It is estimated that, as shown by the official report of the United States Bureau of Statistics, the home consumption of distilled liquors has rilen In tho eight years, 1876 to 1883 inclusive, from 59 million gallons to 78 millions, malt liquors from 308 million to 501 millions, and wines from 20 millions to 26 millions. The averages during these years show that while the population lias increased 12 per cent. the consumption of spirits has increased more than 27 per cent, and of wines by 12 per cent., while that of malt liquors lias grown by ooors than 51 per cent. This unsatisfactory result Ims occurred in spite of extensive and most strenuous prohibition efforts, and notwithstanding the existenco of virtually universal suffrage. This indicates the important lesson that no mere extension of suffrage, nor efforts to enforce sobriety by law, can be expected to avail on either side of the Atlantic, except or until by moral suasion and similar influence the great body of the people have been brought to see the necessity for self-denial or self-control in this direction. Even the success of prohibition in such States as Maine h: only been rendered practicable through a most persevering prelimi- nary education of public opinion. And in proportion as the continuance of Buch moral suasion has anywhere been relaxed the actual observance of prohibition has also become imperilled."

A large numher of persons connected with the Baptist body mot ut breakfast at Cannon-street Hotel, London, on Thursday, tho object of the meeting being to recognise the help which the llaptist Mission on the Congo hud received from Mr, Henry StAnley during liis operations on the Congo. Mr, Joseph Tritton occupied the chair. An ad- dress to Mr. Stanley having been read and presented, Nlr. Stinley addressed tiie meeting, ile confessed to having in early lit.II,undar.toad missionaries. His ioeas on the subject till he saw Livingstone were of a legendary diameter. But then lie had recognised what a type of noble physical And p¡ritual manhood A good missionary and good man could be Ever since he had, thinking of Livingstone's friendly manner and the int.m.. e"rnestn"s' of h,. language, entert3lned I. a high opinion of missionaries. His crude idea of a missionary was that of a man who, with only a bible in hi. hand, was able, by the magic of his eloquence, to convnrt at once tens and hundreds of thousands of pagans; and he had gone on ex- pecting to see such a wonder; but he never lmd seen it and, therefore, lie had begun to believe that missionaries were either luzy, indifferent, or incapable. Hut when lie saw how Livingstone went to work hu knew how a missionary OU¡,t to do hia business, and what un egregious mistake he hild committed. Ue had se?n the young missionaries on the Cougo— Mr. Comber anil his friends—and if lie or they had Illllnir""ted I\IIY capacity for converting the natives by tens of thousands at once, he should have felt it his duty to bribe theiu torn the service of the eodely to join hi. own staff, because, with .uch capacity 01 conversion, it would bo a matter of en?v L!iiicul;itioii to know the hour when Ilia whole oï Africa might lie converted to the faitii and be taught how to behave themselves.

CARDIFF PTTTMROSI'J HABITATION. SPEECH BY MR. HARDEN. THE LEAGUE AND THE RADICAL CAUCUS. A meeting of the Cardiff Habitation of the Primrose League was held at the ConMrTatife Club, Custom House-street, Cardiff, ou Thursday evening, when an address was delivered by Mr. Harben, the Conservative candi- date for Cardiff. Mr. F. E. Stacey (Llan. dough Castle) occupied the chair, and, thanks to the organising efforts of Mr. T. L. Leak (Rating Councillor), there was a very large atten- dance. Amongst those present, beeldee Mr. □urbon, were:—Alderman M'Connochle, Councillors W, J. Trounce, Trayet, Morgan, Waring, Carey, and Loughor, Mr. Jonas Watson, Dr. Paine, Mr. H. F. L.

Mr. SUCEY, in opening the meeting, remarked that, although the organisation of the league only commenced on theStliof April, they had already enrolled 130 inembers, and he believed they were increasing daily. They had met that nijflit tor a twofold object-to transact tho ordinary business of the Cardiff Habitation, and also to hear an addre.. from one who, he felt certain. would be that night and in the future a most welcome visitor. Ho was unwilling to enlarge upon abstract politi- cal references—becauje denunciations of the present Government, their IICls, thuir deeds, snd their miulit, were becoming so frequent and universal among every Kection and branch of society that ha could not help thinking that, so far as tliey were concerned, the Nemesis of Kate would not IOllg be delayed.

It would delight him to think that in that retributive process he be. lieved to be in store for our present rulers the Primrose League should everywhere tiike an active shnre, and thereby fulfil the chief purpose of its creation, to cherish, maintain, and preserve for our great nation's liberty and mlvliti-n ,Il those :t i:8n :1' ;r7'Cia:li): 1&1\I:d the character of lhe gret Lord ileauon field. (Ap- plause.; It might be asked —What were the real purposes of the Primrose League 'i What were the elements of it. ?..Po.iti.. ? He o.ld tell them In a fw words. 'fhe principal aim of the Primrose League was to establish throughout the British Empire an organisation having for its object the maintenance of religion, tUH main- tenance of the estates of tho 1'011111, and of the Imperial ascendancy of the British Empire. These were truly noble and patriotic aspirations. Upon these could be built a solid and glorious foundation whereon to rear a superstructure of strength to fortify their beloved country against .11 its enemie.?. both within and wit hout the national encampment. Some said the days of sentiment were gone,and that the stern age of materialism had usui-ed its place, lie could hll'vIatu:e: proposition WIldcï.: good in the presence of a Habitation of the league. They all knew the primrose to be an emblem of spring, and it was within reach or reasonable conjecture that the illustrious states- man whose name they commemorated, and by virtue of whose existence they existed as a political body, in regarding that simple Sower with so much affiction. luiglkt have allowed his thoughts to dIVell not infrequently upon all the associa- tions by which spring had evor been surrounded. It might have been that Lord Usucmntield, through his poetic and imaginative mind, had looked upon the primrose as a tvpo of Kogland's future ?1.8perity, and that ft it once became rooted in the heart. of RII her loyal sons it might, indeed, become the Frimitim IVrij—the symlmt of it n. season of spring, when the political w^rld should emerge once more from the winter of discontent. And ns the Sabinos of old, in times of great national danger, vowed to their gods a rrr 6Vicru»i, a now spring, if they would avert tho peril, so this simple flower might become the harbinger, as it were, of a season of brighter h ipes and expectations. (Applause.) blr. llAaimx, who was received with loud applause, sail] the question lie should d,:¡1 with that night was -jA tho Tiimrose l.ei^ iu'r" It wa, he &lid, an org"ni8Ation for t,"u p.)ws. It first purpose wu In cherish Iho memoy of oue of England's greatest statesmen, and its second to disseminate principles which tliey hclii dear. (Applause.) In the first place it had been called, the primrose because he whom they loved lovod j it' It might he Mid th it tint was a ine, ot. of sentiment, and sO It ,.s but .11 life tint was worth H..inr was made up of wnti- ineiit. Chivalry, honour, iifloction, love, anil religious feeling weru ell sentiments, Pure love of country, he said, w". a senthneol, and he urged those present never to be afraid of their sentiments when they were in tho right. Speaking of the objects nt "the 1"I\:¡,ue, ho Iicl it was intended by Its mpans to bring about u"¡¡al,I, sation in the party. IWfure 1330 the Conserv itlve party treated organisation as a ,?ylh, a n"r", and a d? ? ..ion they thought I hey were going to live for ever as a party, and they neglected Lord lVaeonslicld's advice to organise. This neglect prepared tho way for their defeat and for the humiliation "r ICnglanri which hd .Inc. taken pi ico in consequence of that defeat. Tiit-y I JI[,o i;?'eJe.fd t::tv'le;IIjll I nothing to do with It. What thé Conservative party should do was this Take wluit was yooJ out of the Caucus und avoid what was bad. (Ap- plause.) There were bad things in the Caucus with which they should have nothing lo do. it, :Iu:e! spurious 1;;IIu(:fo.Y.'I\ w?s. humiliating to the candidate. He instance the case of Mr. Talbot, the father of the House of Commons, and said, for his part, if lie had a voto, he would give it to Mr. Talbot. iHear. hear.) That 1 ,entleml\ll was now being humiliated hy having n series of question* put to him which a very tyro in politics should be ashamed to answer, (Hear, hear.) These questions were put to him because of the Cauous. They wele determined 10 haveacut and dried politician. They destroyed the independence of their repre- sentatives, or rather, not representatives, but delegates. L'nless Mr. Talbot, or anyone else, did the particular tilings the Caucus required, tliey were determined lie should not go to Parliament, withoutthinkinll nf services rendered to the State in put times. It wits ns If II nointipi- ng wire- pullen had some marionettes hrrnto ihpnt which they could make daneo nt their pleasure, anti a Kadicul member was simply a linrionutte In the hands of the Caucus. That he was dghl. In say ing it manufactured spurious public opinion was proved by the cases t Mr. Marriott at Brighton, Mr, Forster and Mr, Go.chen, with whose Indetwn. denco of thought the Caucus wished to Interfere, and took U.em to task for daring tn oppose the Government.

The Ipl\guA, he said, was an unpaid organisation, and it admitted the ladies into Its ranks. Ho thought this latter il good tiling, for lie believed women should be associated In this sort of work. He advised them lo keep up full and complete communication with tho head orgnniMtion in London, for upon their unity would depend their success. lie then weot on to deal with general P.I.t' -.p,?,ed the pnsh ion ,( England abroad now with what it was when Ull) present Government went into power. In 1830 we were, he said, at peace and in harmony wiiii the world, and there was not a single Power with whom we were in conflict. At that time our name was honoured and respectcd through- out the civilised world. At that time tiie Concert of Europe was absolutely perfect. What was it,. Concert of Europe at lhe present time 'i H. .C:'¡d17i'eto"I'1)I" i,I.t.I:J i tlian a German band. (Laughter.} Bef"re all .as perfect harmony; now every in.trument played its own tune to its ewn tinie. (Laughter .1?y .pllause.) At that time we were at peace with "II the world. It might be urged that such was the case now. But ii they had peace how had they obtained it? By simply turning their Ll.er .1??.k .d thanking tho fr'e.i who smote theui. (.pphlue.) If that was pe.ice it was one tlml he would not put up with at Ihe hands of a neighbour. (Applause.! Going on to dual with the Afghan question, he said that their Lite leader had been partially hounded from oltice because lie wanted to establish what was sneered Fit as a scienti fie. frontier. They would only be too thankful now to receive one-half of that which might then have been got without injuring the susceptibilities of Hussia aud without any ex. pense to tiiis country. Having alluded to the Candalwr Kailwav,which had been condemned and destroyed by the present Government, and which had afterwards commenced Its reconstruction under circumstance* ten times more disadvan- tageous to this country, he condemned if.?u.. of the Government in Egypt, and cited the case of .tJBo:4:Å:i :}t; jltsil":I;a-: of their bad judgment and III inevit.ble disgrace. Turning to home affairs, he said he had a strong suspicion that tiie Intermediate Education Bill for Wales had been introduced simply all an elec- tioneering dodge to make the people of Wales think how very good the Liberals bad been to them, and how muoh they would be likely to do for them at some future time. (Laughter.) In conclusion, he suld it rested with them as brethren of the Primrose League there and in every place to see that, the people were properly educated In what they believed to be the true and just principles thatsliould guide their lictioas,and by their lielp, and the help of the people, to return to Parliament men who would maintain those principle* upon which the honour and integrity of tliecountrv depended.

Mr. Joilm WATSON seconded the resolution, 10 doing so be Mid Conservatism was not a sluggish influence. It did not show itself in cutting down and pulling up, but In weeding out what was not good In the institutions of the country. (Apo plause.) The CHstaxAM then put the resolution to the meeting, and it wa* carried with enthusiasm. Mr. HABMN, In acknowledging the vote, re* marked that if the League had no power it would not have met with the ridicule It hd (AppbuM.) Dr. PAIMB then moved a vota of thanks to the chairman. This was secouded by Alderman M'CONHOCMS and carried unanimously.

CO.N S Ii 11V A TI VE MEETING AT DlUTOX FERRY. THE WAR. OF THE PEACE-AT-ANY-PHICE PARTY. CONSERVATISM AND THE WORKINU CLASSES. SPEECII BY biR. BROADNIEAD. A well-attended puhlio meeting of Conservatives was held at the National Schoolrooms, Briton Ferry, on Thursday evening. There was a large attendance, notwithstanding the extremely wet weather which prevailed, and the proceedings throughout were of a most enthusiastic nature. The chair was occupied by hiv. Tom Williams, solicitor, who, oil rising to introduce Mr. J. B. Broadinead, of I ondoti, the principal speaker, met with a very enthusiastic reception.—After a few introductory remarks by the chairman, Mr. Broadmead addressed the audience lit great length Upon" Peace, Retrenchment, and Reform." He euiid that out of 29 wars whICh had taken place during the last 50 ymra 23 had been commenced by a Liberal Ministry, so that they could scarcely lay claim to the title of the prtv of pe;ic ft was true they had been in office f?r a longer period than the Conservatives, but the wars they had declared had been altogether disproportionate to their tenure of office. The speaker dealt in a trenchant manner with the vacillating and disastrous policy of the Government in the udan, severely criticising their procrastination in sending troops to the rescue of Gordon, and their treachery in d"erl i08 the friendly tribes and leaving them to the tender mercv of their enemies. His allusion to the railway which commenced nowhere and ended nowhere evoked considerable mirth, He .,d that few thin.; tended to discredit thi. country in the eyes of the world more trftle in pOl; ;r:he O.,nn:d in m,: Transvaal. After having been beaten in three bat! lei they concluded an ignominious peace wilh the Boers. (Cheerl) Referring to the Anglo. Ru.sian CH,?i,, Mr. Broadmead said that the Russians would never hlive adopted the attitude they had were it not for the fact flint they knew full well that by doiDg so they would he able to squeezo something out of the Liberal Ministry. Everything-Hussiii wanted had been conceded, ami instead of taking precautionary Inensures to pie. vent tlieadvn" if Russia they had undeme what the Conservatives had done in this p.t, .-I after a deal ,f empty bi.-?t?r had give..11 round. The "p""ker then dealt with the subject of retrenchment, comparing 'he vXnenditure of both partieq, and produced statistics .howing that the xpend,t U'. )f the Liberals had largely ex- =d:,Ir,eootI:r,i:: hl I I I statements that th. Conservatives had been opposed to reform. Tliey were the friends of true reform, 811<1 it was the Con. servatives who had first extended household suffrage. They fought against an incomplete measure of retorin during the last session, and succeeded In getting a fair and equitable redistri- bution of seats. (Cheers.) The speaker quoted an extract from the speech of Nlr. Macdonahl, to the effect tlint they had succeeded in gelling more from the Coii?ervatives for the woiking classes thin the Liberals ever wnulti have granted. I :,erle 'IIIt!;II:rLl¡:no::ve h:vionr:P; I useful, practical measures pi?.t?d by tUn Conserva- tives for thu be??fit, .( tha working 1'I"a'8, He said the Conservatives were anxious to preserve all that Was good in our institutions and to lop off all the useless branches. If tliey wished to preserve the grenlnes. of England tliey inust do so by adapting the Constitution to the changed oon- dition of things, and not by pulling down anil '?:lIt everything li.li,IAtelf' The speaker .at d,,?. ainidst loud cheers. The Rev. D. LewIs, vicar of Bviion Ferry, in proposing hoor'1 YO'e of thanks, ?ri ti,!i ?.. the' h'tnie and foreign policrof the Government, un" asked the electors not to be too ready to promise tneir votes to the Ridicals, who were I/olng about stumping the ouiitiy and promising everything that was asked of litem, it mattered not how revo- lutionary, impracticable, or monstrous. He di.1 not agree with the discussion of politics by clergymen or ministers of the Gospel, nnd W is verv grieved to find that in the Hiionddi Liberal Three Hundred there were no less than 29 minister*. Hø thought they would he uoing more good II, studying Ih ph,itu1 wants of their ('fIn ::r('R':1 t iOfl. The motion was seconded by slir. T. BBADLEY, atidcirried witli acclamation. l'on the motion of blr. J. C. Vrt-rARJftMTRs. an enthusiastic vote nf thnnlts was pnssed to the chairmall for so ably presiding.

CONCEALMENT OF BIRTH AT Olt[TO-, FFIlt-i, ATTEMPTED DISPOSAL OF TUbi OliY, Considerable Excitement prevailed in Briton Perry and the neighbourhood un Thursday after- noon upon 11.8 becoming known that the dead body of a child had been discovered by the pollee In a cemetery at Giant's Grave, under circum- stances which lelld to the suspicion that foul play has been pmetined, It appears that a young woman named Hannah Marshall was some- time ago observed to be t"nte, and certain rumours having reached the ears of tbe police, Sergeant Protheroe on Tbunday morning proceeded to Giant's Grave Cemetery, and there exhumed the body of a child, which was after- wards discovered to have been given birth to by the woman Marshall. It appears that the puta- tive father of the child is a very close relation of the girl, and it was not deem" 1 desirable that the public should become ai juainted with the circumstance. The child \val, therefore, d*. posited In a wheelbarrow, and, having been thickly covered over with allies, was conveyed to a place of concealment at Giant's Grave. The body lias been viewed by Dr. Symn, who pronounces it to be tliat of a full-grown child. The girl has not yet been apprehended, but the police are b-'sily investigating the clais, an d a post-mortem examina- tion will be held this (Friday) morning, when startling disclosures are anticipated. The parties being well-known in Briton Perry, the affair has given rise to considerable excitement, and is now the chief topic of conversation amongst the inhabitants.

I CURRENT AGRICULTURAL TOPICS. [Bl "AcBIOOU" or Till' FIELD."I The stock entries for the Pr( it Royal Show in July next are stated to 613. ngainat 1,687 nt Shrewsbury list year I n the horse departments there are 438 anima's entered, which is an increase on list year, the Shrewsbury entries being 407. The cattle entered number 530, a considerable de- crease, for tli? Shrewsbury entries, were 579. Per- haps it may be said that this is attributable to the unusually large exhibits made last year by the Hereford breeders, but this Is not the only cause. The Council of tiie Royal Agricultural Society has only itself to thank for it in some measure, having made serious curtailments in the prita-lut, which have deterred many breeders from making entries who woulil otherwise havo done so Stieep are entered to the number of 433, another decrease, 490 liaving been entered for Shrewsbury. Pig., too, are slightly less, the difference being 203 against 211. The totality of stock entries is also less than that of York, for which show horses, cattle, sheep, and pigs were entered to the number of 1,685. It must be admitted, however, that the three previous exhibitions, at Reading, Derby, and Carlisle, had each of them a less number of stock entries, they being 1.467, 1,229. and 1,501. The West of Englsnd cattle breeders have been treated rather cavalierly by the Council of the Royal Agricultural Society, who naturally feel almost as much hurt in consequence as the breeders of Shire horses do at the manner in which they havo been slighted. Devon cattle in the paat were on a level with Shorthorna and Herefnrds, and had seven classes last year at Siuewsbury; in the Preston prize list there are only five. Tiiere is actually no class for Devon cows over three years old, which will prevent many of the best females ot this breed from being exhibited. Among these will be Mr. Alfred C. Skinner's beautiful Moss Hose 8th, and Mr. J. Howse's grand cow Daisy 4th, the loss of which must be accounted a grave one to any show. They were, probably, belter thtin any of the Devon heifere that appeared at the Somerset Agricultural Society's Show at Taunton. Some Devon breeders are so thoroughly disgusted at the curtailment of the prite list for Devons that they refuse to eend any to Preston. No bull calved before 1880 can find a place for the sole of its foot anywhere, and in this respect Devon, Shorthorn, Hereford, and all other breeders are treated precisely alike. Not so, however, in re- spect to the number of the Bull Classes, for the Shorthorn and Hereford ones are four, and those for Devon bulls only two, those calved in 1880 and the three following years being grouped all together. It may be pleaded that the Devon breeders are treated no worse in this respect than tlnse of the seven other breeds of Sussex, Welsh, Red Polled, Jersey, Polled Angus, Galloway, and Ayrshire, but this is no excuse whatever. Such revolutionary tactics are utterly uncalled for considering the flourish- ing stuls of the society's funds. The claims of Devon cattle are quite as good to receive th. very highest appreciation from a society terming itaeif National 81 Leicester and Southdown sheep. Not only were they alike famous before the more popular breeds of the present day were heard of, but will probably always soar high above tbem on the score of quality. Thu. the beef of a Devon ox or steer selis reaoily for a penny it pounif before tliat of the Shorthorn, and Devon cattle have acknowledged superiority over their more fortunate competitors in two othur primary respects, being more robust and hardy, and having the capacity of living well oil poor hillsides where Shorthorns und He refolds would slurve. When this is fully c"nli,tered, it seems strange tiie Western Rubies" should not h. more popular with the Americans, n hardy consti- tution being so very essential for prairie anJ ranclie existence. Returning to the point ot their negluct by the Koyal Agricultural (Society's Council, the plea will no doubt be urged that tho breeds are favoured most which are numerously kept in that part of the kingdom where the society goes, but this ought not to opertite against such a breed as the North Devon, ag. inst which the only objection ever mised has been that it is too small-honed and diminutive in stature, a good fault surely in times when meat consumera Insist more fl?Ir on high quility and small joints. The H iwfant sale of the herd of the lato Sir Curtis Sampson was, like the great Hindiip one of the preceding week, disappointing in prices. Still, lhe chill on the spirits of bidders was not quite so great. The DuchNIge8 realised very similar rites to Sir Henry Allsopp's, Mr. Herbert Leney buying t he gtie?L-prie?d for 610 guineas, which wus Grand Ouch., 391h, Three of the olhp", were bought f'lrCiiiadaandlhe United Slates Sir John Uopo civin^ 500 gui?.q for Duchp. of Rnwfant and 2?O gu",eRe for her calf, and Ir, J.
