SOUTH WALES SKETCHING I CLUB, 11 Visit to Hensol Castle. I I On Saturday last about 40 of the members of, the South Wales Art Society and Sketching. Club proceeded by brakes to Hensol Castle, starting from Cardiff shortly after n. Mr, Thompson had very kindly opened the picturesque, grounds to the society, and. given a. tine day, some good work would have been done. As it. happened, however, the weather proved most' unsuitable for sketching purposes, and very little was done in that direction. Despite the somewhat depressing atmospheric con- ditions a very agreeable day was spent. Among the company we noticed Mr and Mrs E.' Seward, Mr and Mrs Bruton, Mr and Mrs Meredith, Mr and Mrs Beaugeois, Mr C. T. Whitmell, H.M.I.S., Mr Coates, Mr J. P. Seddon, Mr W. Thomas, Mr Fisher, Miss Sant, and Mr J. A. Sant, hon. secretary. It only remains for us to state that the tea presided over and arranged for by Mrs Beaugeois and Miss Sant gave every satisfaction.

I During a late protracted session of the. Blue Light Tabernacle, the Rev Whangdoodle Baxter brought his umbrella down on the pulpit with a jolt that rattled all the sash in the window frames and exclaimed Ie Dere's- got to be less talkin' in dis room. I can't hear myself think." Upon this one of the coloured sisters arose and .id t n Brndder Baxter, I wishes ter call yer reten- tion tooele fac', dat it am de male members ob de congregasion who am doin' de talkin' Hit am, am it?" replied the Rev Whang- doodle, with a savage gleam in his eye I'se mighty glad of dat.

The cowboy left his cayuse at the door and sauntered, in his manly, open way up to the bar. "Got the dust?" asked the barkeeper, suspi- ciously, without a sign of fear. Got the dust 1 Who be you insultin. Guess you don't know me. I'm a he chicken of the great American hen bird of freedom, I am. When I scratch for worms the gravel flies. You hear me warble ?" • Yes.

"Must the talons of the noble chick rend the soil while his pmions beat the air, or will you pro- duce the beverage? Last call." Come, now, you git," said the barkeeper, as he came from behind the bar with a brass faucet in his hand. When the barkeeper got up off the floor one sleeve of his coat was gone and both boots-were off, while the others that were in the room were outside looking in the window. Say, neighbor," said the barkeeper, as he limped back behind the bar, "we've got three kinds of red liker and two of white. Which'll ye have ?" The cowboy drank his fire-water, and after he left the barkeeper remarked to one of his regular customers. Darned if that aint the first man I ever struck that could blow and fight both."

An Atlantic Liner in Peril I I THE CARGO ON FIRE. Thrilling Incidents. The Cunard steamer Servia arrived at Queens- town on Sunday morning, from New York, and reported that on the 11th inst. she sighted the Inman Liner City of Richmond, from New York, with signals of distress flying. The Servia bore down on her, and the captain of the City of Richmond reported that his cargo was on fire, and requested the Servia to stand by him. The Servia accordingly steamed slowly by the side of the City of Richmond until Browhead was sighted, on Sunday morning, when the Servia came on at full speed to Queenstown. The City of Richmond, coming along slowly, was off the harbour at mid- day. It appears that the City of Richmond had a large number of bales in the forehold, and these were found ignited in an unaccountable way at 12.30 a.m. on the 10th inst. in the midst of a strong gale. The heat was so great that the intermediate and steerage passengers had to be accommodated in the saloon, and it was found S advisable to signal the Cunard steamer Servia, which remained by her for three days,fearing that the fire might extend and that it might become necessa,r-y, to abandon her. A saloon passenger, who landed at Queenstown on Sunday, states that a lady passenger in the night was awakened by the intensity of the heat in her stateroom and by the fumes of smoke. She immediately called a steward, and informed him, aud the heat of fire was traced to the fore- hold. On the hatch being taken off, long tongues of flame shot up, and dense volumes of smoke also rose. The crew endeavoured to get at the burning bales of cotton, but the men were almost suffocated. Meanwhile, water was being poured on the burning mass. Captain Ledford, being now aware of the serious nature of the outbreak, ordered all the i passengers to be aroused and brought on deck. This was done without unduly alarming them, and in a short time the corridors were filled with groups of men and women, some of the latter praying and weeping. There was, however, no panic. On reaching deck the crew were found making preparations fer launching the boats, while the stewards were bringing up sufficient provisions to last each passenger six days. It was a fearful night, and the seas were sweeping across the deiks. The narrator, a Catholic clergyman, satd he believed if it had become necessary to leave the ship that night it would scarcely have been possible for the boats to have escaped being swamped. As soon as seven or eight burning bales had been thrown overboard, the hatchway was covered, and steam was injected among the cotton. The Jiunips were also kept going to get the water which was being poured on the fire out of the hold. The suspense that night was terrible, but the passengers bore up splendidly, being cheered by the encouraging words of the captain and officers that all would yet be well. It was not until 11.25 a.m. the next day that a vessel was sighted. In response to the signals of distress she bore down on the City of Richmond, and proved to be the British steamer Counsellor, bound to Liverpool from Now Orleans. The captain, it was thought, was dying of fever, but the officer in charge agreed to stand of fever, did so until the following night, when the Cunard steamer Servia hove in sight, and the Counsellor then left. Rockets were sent up and coloured fires burnt until the attention of the Servia was attracted. She came up, and did not leave the City of Richmond until after Browhead had been passed. The day aft r meeting the Servia the Inmab steamer vty of Paris, from Queenstown to Liverpool, came up, and after a consultation between the captains of the three steamers it was decided that the City of Paris should resume her voyage, and that the Servia should accompany the City of Richmond to the Irish coast. Meanwhile the intermediate and steerage passengers had been removed to the saloon and made comfortable. The passengers pay a high tribute. to the vigilance and energy of the captain, officers, and crew. To the captain and officers an address of praise and 'thanks wa? presented, and £ 80 were = ibed for distribution among the men who had particularly distinguished themselves, py the saloon passengers. The other passengers also raised a handsoms sum for the some object. The Irish coast was sighted at daylight on Sunday, and the steamer proceeded on her way to Liver- pool. During the forenoon the fire had not been 'extinguished, but no further danger was feared.

ODDFELLOWSHIP AT COWBRIDGE. On Saturday the members 'of the above lodge, which is affiliated with the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows, held their annual feast. On this oc- casion the festival was celebrated with more pro- minence than usual from the fact that the Mayor of Cow bridge (Mr Edward John), who is an active Oddfellow, had invited several gentlemen to deliver addresses to the members. The latter assembled in the morning at their lodge room, at the Royal Oak Inn, Cowbridge, and emerged therefrom-in processional orde? (wearing regalia), and, headed by the Cowbridge Town Band, marched to the parish church, where a short service was held, a suitable sermon being delivered by the Rev, D. Bowen, vicar. At the conclusion, the procession was re-formed and a visit paid to Llanblethian, and after a temporary halt at the Cross Inn the brethren returned to Cowbridge. Dinner was served in the Town- hall, and Mrs Williams, of the Royal Oak Inn, provided excellent and substantial fare. Flags were placed about the assembly-room,- and a fine scroll, bearing the word, Success to the Paradwys Lodge and the Mayor of Cowbndge," was placed immediately behind the crosstable. The Mayor of Cowbridge presided, and he was sup- ported on the right by Mr A. J. Williams, M.P., Alderman Thos. Rees, Alderman James (ex- mayor), Councillors Williams and Tilleyon the left by the Rev. D. Bowen (vicar of Cowbridge). Alderman Lewis Jenkins, Councillor Hal!, and the Town Clerk (Mr John Stockwood). Coun- cillors John Llewellyn, Morgan Morgan, David Thomas, John Hopkins, T. Thomas, Lewis Jenkins, Mr E. W. Miles (chairman of the Cow- bridge United School Board), and others were present as visitors.—Mr Arthur Williams, M.P., in submitting the toast of success to the lodge, spoke of the valuable work accomplished by friendly societies, and incidentally alluded to the circumstance that a great-great-uncle of his. Dr Price, of Tynton, Glamorgan, was the first to devise the system of a graduated scale of payments. (Applause.) He (Mr Wil- liams) thought they ought to be proud that a Glamorganshire man had wrought such useful work in the interests of the working and provident classes. (Applause.)—The Mayor =ed for the Oddfellows that they wem the pioneers of the graduated scale. It was perfectly correct that Dr. Price had furnished some statistics as a basis, which the Oddfellows had put into operation; and without such a system it would have been impossible to have amassed such a capital, or even carry on their noble work. The toast was heartily drunk. Other toasts followed.

THE PERSECUTION OF THE I I JEWS IN RUSSIA. Mr Isaac Tumpowsky, of Cardiff, who has wrltten several letters to our correspondence I column in reference to the persecution of the Jews in Russia, has been assiduously working with the view of enlisting the sympathies of local gentlemen in behalf of. "his suffering fellow-countrymen. Mr Tumpowsky .informs us that he haa been greatly encouraged :by the kindly expressions of sympathy that have reached him. Father Butler, on behalf of the i ROman Catholic clergy, including the Lord Bishop 'of Newport and Menevia, has taken -occasion teEay that he strongly sympathises with I the aims rtf the colonisation society; and that he would personally do his utmost to mitijpiote the: hard lot of the persecuted Jews in Russia.

The Tin-plate Trade. I THE STOP MONTH. I Mass Meetings of Workmen. I On Saturday the tin-plate workmen assembled in I mass meetings at Morriston and Crumlin demonstrated their antagonism to the proposed month's stoppage in the trade. At Crumlin the president of the Tin-plate Workmen's Union took part, -ahd at Morriston the principal speakero were MrD. Randell, M.P., Mabon, M.P., and Mr T. Phillips, general secretary of the Union. While the proceedings were taking place, the last boxes of tin-plates which will be shipped in anything like numbers for the next month or so were being placed at Swan- sea Docks on hoard the two fine liners, the Mississippi and the Michigan, which expect to deliver their cargoes in America just before the imposition of the | tariff; and now, whatever stocks are in America, they are reduced to nil at Swansea. On Friday the stocks were only 26,948 boxes, the smallest number that has been stored in the Prince of Wales Dock sheds since the development of the shipment of this commodity from Swansea. With the two cargoes already referred to, these stocks, low as they are, are probably exhausted. During the week, 69,459 boxes have been shipped, and 30,399 received from the works.. The object of the demonstrations held on Saturday is well known to readers of our columns. It was not to protest against any restriction of make, should the makers think a limitation necessary, but to protest against the way in which the employers have decided tó; bring this about. If it be necessary to reduce stocks by a month's make, this object can be accomplished, say the men's advocates, as it has been before, by, different means than by locking 25,000 work- people out for a month on a stretch; and, there- fore, it is that some of the workpeople think there is something mote in the action of the employers than appears on the surface, and that the next move may be, when the men have had a month's idleness, the striking of a blow at their Union and its power to maintain wages. The Morriston demonstration was not attended by so many people as were expected; still it was imposing and striking. There are many reasons why it was not greater, but the main one probably is that the weather was threatening most of the day, and that before and during the meeting there was a downfall of rain. There was enthusiasm enough amongst the demonstrators, as, meeting near the Landore Viaduct, they proceeded, headed by bands and banners, along the road to Morriston. irt starting there were about 2,000 present, composed of workmen from Llanelly and -the works at Cwmbwrla and Landore. The Cwmfelin men, who came down in good strength with the Brynhyfryd drum and fife band, had a standard with apictorial illustration of how masters and men stand now, the former with the money bags,, and the latter with the implements of labour. On the other side was "how they ought to be;" and here was illustrated a division of the spoil. The men from Morriston came dpwft to meet the visitors, and led the procession with their fine band, the tune to which a start was made being The Bogie Man Near Morriston the Neath District Tin-workers Union joined in with its banner bearing the motto "Let justice be done," and Clydach's contingent joined later on. By this time there were about 4,000 in the procession, and the greatest enthusiasm was displayed en route by the crowds which lined the roads. A long tramp brought the demonstrators to the place of meeting-a. field formed in the nature of an amphitheatre. Some little delay was unavoid- able before the meeting could commence because Mr David Randell, M.P., and Mr W. Abraham, M.P., who, after being at their places in the House of Commons till close on two o'clock that morning, had, in their sympathy with the demon- strators and their cause, journeyed down from London to take part in the proceedings. The honourable gentlemen were not much after time, and loud and continuous was the cheering with which their appearance was greeted. Mr Thomas Phillips, the secretary, was placed in the chair, and the hearty reception he received as he rose to open the proceedings was very significant. In a spirited speech in the vernacular, Mr Phillips placed his points em. phatically but moderately before his audience, eliciting cheer after cheer as he showed how easily the reduction of stocks might be accomplished by less violent means. Then came resolutions, three rolled into one, protesting against the course proposed. They were -formally proposed by the vice-president of the Union, and Mr Randell, in seconding, delivered anelquent and forcible Address, making, as will be seen in the report below, point after point on the side of the men. Mabon followed in support, urging the men, when the time came, not to exhibit such a lack of brotherly feeling towards the employers as they now did towards them. Mr David Morgan and Mr Isaac Evans, on the other hand, urged the men not to forget the treatment of the masters when they. again had the upper hand, and Mr Evans, allud- ing to the statement of a manufacturer that the wish of the makers was to get the price of coal down, promised that rather than this should occur as the result of the stop month, the colliers would work only three days a week.

CIVIC RECEPTION OF SIR. W. I GORDON-CUMMING. At a special meeting of the town council of Forres, held on Saturday forenoon, it was resolved to present an address to Sir W. Gordon-Gumming, congratulating him on his marriage, the document being signed by all the members and Mr R. Urquhart, jun., deputy-clerk. Thereafter the council proceeded to the railway station to meet the newly-married couple on their arrival from England, Provost Watson being arrayed in his robes of office. The town band headed the pro- cession, in which a great crowd joined. At the station the area in front of the platforms were crowded with persons, several thousands being present. The train reached Forres a quarter of an hour late. In the saloon Sir W. and Lady Gordon-Cumming were accompanied by Lord and Lady Middleton. Lord Middleton con- tinued his journey to his seat at Applecross, while Lady Middleton accompanied Sir William and Lady Gordon-Cumming on to the plat- form, where they were received by the town council amid a demonstration of cheers. After handshaking and the presentation of a lovely bouquet by a daughter of Mr W. D. Cruikshank, late manager of the Bank of Bengal, Provost Watson, addressing Sir William and his lady, welcomed them to the North, and gave ex- pression to the delight with which the people of Fones had heard of their marriage, and their determination to visit Sir William's ancestral estates. The deputy town clerk then read the address, which was enthusiastically received. Sir William Gordon-Cumming, who was ap- parently much affected at the reception accorded to him, said in reply: Mr Provost-and gentlemen, in thanking you on behalf of Lady Gordon-Cum- ming and myself for the exceptionally kind and cordial reception which you have given us to-day, I must say that I very deeply appreciate the kindly feeling which has been shown us on the part of our brother Scotsmen. It will be our duty, as well as our privilege, to reside here amongst those brother Scotsmen who have shown Nis so much kindness, and have joined in giving us their cordial welcome to-day. (Cheers.) On-the call of the Provost cheers were then S'ven for Sir William and Lady Gordon-Cumming. On the can of Colonel F. C. Mackenzie. cheers for Lady Middleton were also raised. The party were then conducted to their carriage, the horses unyoked, ropes attached, and the carriage drawn by the crowd along the street as far as St. citblerino 's, wbare a large arch had been erected with the inscription, "Forres gives a hearty welcome." The party appeared greatly impressed with the heartiness of the ovation.

The Murder of a Widow in France. I TRIAL OF THE PRISONERS. [ifSPECIAL TELKGBAM FHOM OCR CORESPONDENT. ] PARIS, Saturday. In January last Madame Meuanier Dessaigne, an aged widow lady, dwelling alone in a small house at Courveroie, a suburb of Paris, was murdered under circumstances of peculiar atrocity, and to-day, at the Seine assizes, judgment was passed on the miscreants, who, after a trial extending over three days, were convicted of the crime. The convicts,, all of whom present an unusually repulsive appearance, are an elderly woman of 54, her son, aged 19, and -three other youths whose ages range from 16 to 18. They followed no regular occupation, but lived on the proceeds of the robberies perpetrated from time to time by the younger prisoners under the direction of the woman Badand. Dia satisfied, however, with their acquisitions while pursuing the humbler methods of crime they resolved to try operations on a larger scale. One of the youths, named Dortj, had at one time been in the employment Qf a butcher, and had at that period of his career been accustomed to take meat to the house of the murdered lady. Madame Dessaigne used often to give him gratuites, and her liberality in 'this respect had produced in the fellow's mind the impression that his pat- roness was wealthy, or at lomt ell off. He now recalled these circumstances, ?nd suggested to his confederates that Madame Dessaigne would be a suitable victim. Other names were discussed by the party, but eventu- ally Dore's proposition was tepted, and the necessary plans were formed. On the evening of January 12th, three of the young men Borland, Dore, and Deville made their way into the house, their companion Chorin, who at the last moment hung back, being deputed to keep watch outside. They found the old lady sitting alone on the sofa by the fireside, reading a book. There was no one else in the house, for Madame Dessaigne's only servant was a char- woman who came in every day, and who had left for the night. Berland advanced into the room holding out a letter. His victim rose in some surprise to receive it, but no sooner had she taken it in her hand than the young ruffian struck her to the ground, and, throwing himself upon her, sought to silence her by attempting to tear out her tongue. Dore then joined in the attack upon the unfortunate, woman, striking her several times on the temples with a sharp instru- ment which penetrated to the brain. Leaving their victim in a dying condition on the floor the assassins proceeded to ransack the house, smash- ing the furniture, ripping up the mattresses, and leaving no spot unsearched for the rich booty they expected to find. Their hopes, however, were disappointed, for they succeeded in discovering only about twenty-three francs in money and some articles of jewellery of little value. While engaged in this task, and in refreshing themselves with the food which they found in the house, they were disturbed by the goans of the dying woman, who, in spite of .her fearful injuries, was still alive and conscious;; and, angered by the sound, they returned to her and finished their work with a callous brutality which baffles description. When the murder was at last completed, an hour and a quarter after it had been begun, the victims visage had been dis- figured almost beyond recognition. It is a strange fact that Madame Dessaigne's mother and sister both perished by the hands of assassins. It is also a peculiar coincidence that the book which the ill-fated woman was reading was afterwards found lying open at a passage in which a murder is described by the author. The prisoners were represented by the three most eminent counsel at the criminal bar of Paris,. Maitres Demange, Beconi, and Robert, the two last of whom defended the notorious Eyraud and Gabrielle Bompard some months ago. In spite of their advocacy all of the accused were con- victed. The woman Berland, her son, and Dore were all three sentenced to death; Deville was sentençed to penal servitude for life; and Chotin to 20 years penal servitude.

BUSINESS ENTERPRISE IN I I SOUTH WALES. Messrs Hicks and Co,, Cardiff. t The old-established firm of Hicks and Co., Limited, wholesale and retail chemists, 28, Duke- street, Cardiff, have just opened business-at 70. Queen-street, spacious and extensive premises, which they have purchased to supply the exigen- cies of an exceptionally prosperous and ever- increasing concern. As is well known-for the proprietors and the managing director, Mr W, T. Hicks, enjoy a wide reputation—this firm has "a very influential clientele of chemists and physicians in South Wales and Monmouthshire. Their wholesale connection enables them to purchase in the first markets, and direct "from the best manufacturers both in Eng- land and on the Continent, thus avoid- ing middle profits. But this, of course, entails considerable storage room, and hitherto the company have utilised commodious buildings 'in Womanby-street for this purpose. The, splendid accommodation provided at Queen- street, however, will enable the proprietory to group the wholesale and retail departments. Behind the shop is being built surgical instru- ment-rooms, and in the rear of these again will be the wholesale premises and laboratories. The whole buildings measure fully 144 feet in length. The front premises are strikingly light and roomy, and fitted with exquisite taste. The combination of a Wenbam light and a chandelier with coloured shade which illuminates the pre- mises in the evening is not the least of many exceedingly attractive features. The shop has been fitted by Bowling and Govier, London ;I whilst the architect in the reconstruction and adaptation of the premises is Mr J. P. Jones, Cardiff, Messrs Turner and Sons being the builders. It may be added that amongst the directors of the company are Dr Sheen, Cardiff,, aud Dr Naunton Davies, Cymmer.

"THE PROPOSED TOWN HALL FOR MERTHYR. A special meeting of the Merthyr Local Board of Health was held on Saturday to consider the question of a town han for Merthyr. Alderman ,mas Williams, J.P presided.-Mr E. P. Biddle referred to the probability of a town hall being so constructed as to bring in various rentals, which would make it a self- paying concern. They already had their offices on a site adjoining the piece of land that was proposed to be acquired. He moved—" That in the opinion of this board it is desirable, in the interests of the town, that active steps be taken without further delay to carry out the existing resolution to build a town-hall. "—Mr J. Plews seconded the resolution, remarking that the time had arrived'when some steps should be taken to make a change in regard to the existing state of things.—Mr D. E. Jones, Treharris, moved an amendment to the effect that a town-hall be not built, and that the site be disposed of. :He plough there was enough of debt in the parish without incurring, any more.—Mr H. W. Lewis supported Mr Biddle's motion.—The Chairman' thought, they were not justified in dealing with the matter that day, and regarded the rector's price for the portion of land wanted for the site as extravagant. He would be pleased if steps could be taken to ascertain the terms on which theN Market-square could be acquired, as they might be able to dispose of their present lease ad- vantageously. He moved as an amendment that the clerk put put himself in communication with the representatives of the Court estate, to ascer- tain the best terms upon which the board could acquire the square in front of the market. Mr Evan Jones, Dowlais, seconded, and Mr D. E. Jones, Treharm. supported the amendment, which was carried.

SUNDAY CLOSING ACT AT MERTHYR. At the Merthyr police-court, on Saturday- before Mr W. M. North and Mr W. Smyth- Martha Griffiths, landlady of the Masons' Arms, Caepantwyll, was summoned for keeping her house open f the sale of beer on the 7th inst. Mr John Plews appeared for the defence. --P.C. Griffith Williams, a young policeman, attired in private clothes visited the neighbourhood in company of P.G. Williams. He saw 15 men leave the premises, tod, entering the gully with two men, he' told them he was from Swansea, and paid 6d for beer, which was handed to all of them through the window-the landlady's daughter being in charge of the house at the time.—Mr Plews criticised the conduct of the new policeman, and in the result defendant was fined LS and costs, and her licence was endorsed.

PRESS COMMENTS. I I [FROM THE "OJSEBVEE. I All the weekly papers—whether they are the organs of the classes or of the masses-are, of course, much occupied with the baccarat case; and equally, of course, they all agree that the point of principal interest to the public is not the guilt or innocence of Sir William Gordon- Cumming, but the light which the evidence throws upon the favourite pastimes of the Prince of Wales. Alike from candid friends, whose candour is, in almost every instance, more con- spicuous than their friendliness, and from open enemies, who rejoice at having found a more plausiblo excuse than usual for reviling monarchical institutions, his Royal Highness encounters a storm of criticism. Perhaps the mildest comments offered are those of the Saturday Review No sane man," it says, wilnee any more harm in the Prince having, played the game;'as a game, than in the playing of sixpenny whist at a country parsonage, of loto for sweetmeats among children, or of cup-and- ball for nothing at all by a forced idler on a wet, morn- ing. All talk to the contrary is senseless, and generally insincere, cant, which is a disgrace either to the intellects or the honesty, or both, of the persons uttering it. But whether the Prince was wise to go, playing and to play baccarat, to the place where v4 actually played it, and whether, a scandal having arisen, he was wise, even in the joint interest of him- self and the person incriminated, to be a party to any bushing of it up, are different questions." The SpeqfLttor representing those serious middle- class Englishmen who neither know nor wish to know what cynicism means, speaks, although in somewhat more noble and professorial language, to pretty much the same effect. The Spectator can quite understand-all that is said in defence of the Prince of Wales :— "There is," it holds, "no position in the world so trying as that of an Heir-Apparent to a throne, with no real work to perform, 'barred out from his natural occupation, which is politics, and bored to siiftocation by ceremonial dutiesVrhich are not even stately, as reviews pre, and which, iVe venture to say. no man on earth ever regarded with any feeling milder than weary toleration. The position is intolerable, has ruined every Hanoverian male heir since the Act of Settlement, and has in our own time sent an heir of the little Dutch Throne to Paris, and an heir of the great Austrian Throne to suicide—but still, noblesse oblige, and there are compensations. A king should be on the serious side, and an avowed preference for the other irritates a people which gambles itself, and bets itself, and speculates itself, but all the same retains its admiration for a healthier and higher ideal, and does not want to be encouraged from abore in its own weak- nesses. Old Pepys was an old sinner, and no better, but he was an Englishman, and he could not abide the scene in Whitehall, which was very much what the average English mind, most unfairly, imagines the scene at Tranby Croft to have been like. The Speaker, as becomes an organ which caters for the Radicals, albeit of the philosophical rather than the violent sort, strikes a serenely practical note, and inquires whether the incident has not a bearing upon the question of Royal grants :— How," it asks, will the recent revelations affect the next attempt which is made to secure further parliamentary provision for the Royal Family ? Can it be supposed that it will lessen the difficulties of Ministers who already find it more than sufficiently diilicult to win popular Assent to measures of this kind ? It would be unfair," it adds, indicating the way ill which it expects the question to be answered, it would be unfair to hide from the Prince the fact that his first duty to himself, to the Crown, and to his country, is to take steps which will once more bring him into harmony with it. Of one thiqg he may rest assured. If he refuses to take these steps, and continues to pursue amusements which the healthy conscience of the community condemns, he will be recklessly playing for a higher stake than was over before risked on the gaming table. While the Anti-Jacobin is content to express in general terms its agreement with all the other Royal critics, declaring that It is only the screeching that we have any reason to be ashamed of. None of the rebukings and exhortings addressed to the Prince of Wales need any abatement, except in the violence of theirlanguage. Look to the spirit of them alone, and they are just. They are just, and they will not be unheeded. The comments of the penny weekly papers range from mild regret, and the expression of a hope that his Royal Highness may learn., lessons of wisdom from experience, to philippics. couched in the most unchastened language that a well- stocked vocabulary of vituperation can supply. The People, for example, the chosen penny- worth of the Conservative working man, rejoices that the Prince of Wales is one of those fortunate people whe can afford to take liberties with their reputation, It is the opinion of the People that The English people are profoundly attached to that constitutional monarchy which is the envy of other nations, and they expect, as they have a right to expect, that those who personify it shall have a duo sense of respect for their own exalted station. In the case of a prince less deservedly popular, on many grounds, than the Prince of Wales, this unfortunate business might have done incalculable harm. The comments of Lloyd's Weekly, the Weekly I Dispatch, the Weekly Times and Echo, and Reynold's Newspaper, organs representing various phases of Radicalism, furnish a graduated crescendo of indignation. Lloyd's Newspaper gives utterance to the bitter cry of the Radical gambler, who complains that. he and the Royal family are unequally treated by the law. The Weeily Dispatch demands in no uncertain voice the prosecution for conspiracy of all those who combined to hush the scandal up:— Will these people (it asks) be prosecuted for -con- piracy ? If not, why not ? Every day working men, in trying to improve the condition of their class, are seat t. gaol for the common- law offence of conspiracy, although from a moral point view their combinations are not only innocent but laudable. But the whole gang at Tranby Croft entered into a conspiracy, of which the criminal character is obvious on the face of it. They tried to hush up a crime and let a cheat loose on society. there to be one law for the poor and another for the rich ? Reynolds' Newspaper begins by tracing the scandal to its hidden source in the dissipations of the early Hanoverian kings From George 1. (it says) down to Queen Vietoria, excepting that of George III., the story of the lives of these monarchs is made up of lost, baseness, and cupidity. George III., the stupidest and most despotic of the lot, is said to have been a virtuous man but; his virtue loaded the country with live-sixths of the National Debt under which it now groans. A glorious race of kings, indeed, at whose shrine men in these days are to worship, and for whose interests they are to sacrifice their lives. And it concludes with the following peroration, which cannot fail to gladden the hearts of all true Republicans:- The clergy of the Established Church have carefully avoided,taking notice of the scandal. But the'Noncou- formiats are speaking out with no uncertain voice. In pulpit and platform thev are denouncing the conduct of the Heir-Apparent. While the Queen lives, how- ever, nothing will be done to interfere with the monarchical institution, but the scornf contempt, and indignation aroused by the revelations; at the Hih "Court. of the heir to the Queen will do much to strengthen the popular feeling that monarchy, is a costly, useless, and degrading form of Government. Dr Parker's Candid Criticisms. I At the City Temple, London, on^Sunday morn- ing, the Rev Dr Parker said:—"Not a man or woman- connected with the baccarat cige came out of it with the slightest honour- There may • be honour among thieves, but certainly there, is- no chivalry amongst gamblers. Without dis- puting this verdict, or defending the plaintiff, I cannot but feel that he was very meanly used, and not the least by those who ?used, 'chiefly responsible for the gambling and the so-called hospitality. Why all this bother about cheating and detail of te :ame, when the game itself is a fraud from begmnmg to end ? Such gambling adds no security to the throne. Long live the Queen!"

 ■ .I -41 inm, j. i, SOUTH WALES COAL TRADE. I Caerphilly Miners' Association. I The representatives of the Machen" Bedwas, and the Caerphilly Miners' -Association held their district meeting at the Goodrich Arms, Caer- philly, on Saturday evening, under the presidency of Mr Edward Jones (Rhos), the vice-chair being occupied by Mr Frank Tilley. The question of the regulation of trams which was referred to the various collieries for their consideration, was discussed, but inasmuch that the Cwmyglo Colliery workmen, Bedwas, had not replied, it was decided that the matter be left in abeyance until the next council meeting. The advisability of substituting Saturday for Monday, as the miners' monthly holiday was introduced. The request for a change had come from the employers side upon the Sliding Scale Committee, who complained that the original object in having a holiday was not carried out, but devoted to gambling, etc., with the result that the holiday was prolonged, and the output of the pits seriously affected.—A reso- luiion was submitted and earned to the effect that, on the whole, the miners' monthly holiday had proved beneficial to the workmen of the district, the request of the employers be not entertained, and that the holiday be held as here- tofore.—The advisability ot forming a federation of all trades and labour unions in South Wales and Monmouthshire was discussed, and it was then decided to join the federation should the miners' conference to be held at Cardiff on the 22nd inst., agree to the suggested, arrangement. Mr Lewis Miles gave a report of the late dispute at the Nixon's collieries, Moun- tain Ash, whiah had been under the considera- tion of the South Wales and Monmouth- shire Miners' Federation, and it was de- cided that the collieries in the Caerphilly district should financially support Nixon's men and send their subscriptions to the treasurer of the federation without delay. Mr Samuel R. Williams" was appointed to represent the associa- tion at the forthcoming miners conference at Car- diff. The delegates present were instructed to re- commend to their respective collieries to subscribe a6d levy per man (boys in proportion), so. as to be prepared to meet any financial calls. Meeting of Tynycoedcau Level Workmen. e ier t of the A special general meeting of the miner^s of the Tynycoedcau Colliery, Machen, was held on Saturday evening at the Goodrich Arms; Caer- hilly, under the presidency of Mr William -ichards, Hendredenny Hall, Aber Valley, for the purpose of considering the advisability of being regulated by the Slidmg-scale arrangement for the future, and joining the South Wales and Monmouthshire Workmen's Federation. It was decided to financially sup- port the sliding scale and join the tylinera"Fede- ration and arrangements were made to collect 6d per man monthly, commencing on the next pay day at the colliery.

SBtrsttwss ]Uibr £ SS £ S. TEST THEM FREE OF CHARGE. Write for samples of Frazer's Sulphur Tablets, and they will be sent you gratis and post free. Name the South Wales Daily News." Frazer's Sulphur Tablets are for internal use; they are pleasant to the taste and the safest and most efficacious medicine for all blood and skin diseases, eruptive disorders, as also for constipation and rheumatism. They are invaluable for the com- plexion; they free the pores of the skin from tainted and obstructive matters, and render harmless the itching, acrid, and burning elements discharged from the blood, which cause pimples, vesicles, eczema, &c. They allay feverish ferment, control the effervescence and putrescence in the blood caused, by warm weather, and by sudden and frequent changes of tem- perature. They are a valuable preventive medicine against infectious and contagious disorders. They are a Blood Germicide-i.e., destructive of disease germs in the blood. They keep open the pores of the skin from within, and render equable the temperature of the blood, and they therefore ward off colds, chills, and like symptoms. In like manner, persons pro- fusely exerting themselves at tennis, cricket, boating,, &c., may escape the danger of the subsequeut chill by taking one Tablet night and morning after the exer- tion. For workers and dwellers in a vitiated atmos- phere or air rendered tainted by trade exhalations, &c., frazer's Sulphur Tablets are of great service. They cannot, of course, undo the evil, Dut by keeping down the temperature of the blood, by allaying feverish' unrest, and by rendering the blood comparatively pure and antiseptic, they minimise the dangers of the evils we have named, and hold at bay a number of disorders and serious complaints which otherwise might enter the body by the gateway of impure blood. Whether as a preventive, palliative, or curative remedy Frazer's Sulphur Tablets are par excellence a family remedy. (?pil,I?en like them, and they are of the greatest service in correcting feverish and eruptive tendencies, and in regulating the natural functions. For women Frazer's Sulphur Tablets have the great added advantage that they gradually clear and beautify the complexion in the most healthful natural manner—viz., by tonic action on the blood and skin.
