MENAI SOCIETY OF NATURAL SCIENCE…
MENAI SOCIETY OF NATURAL SCIENCE AND LITERATURE- Mr J. J. Alexander, M,A., lectured before the members of the Menai Society on Ihursday even- ing, wlieu he aelected fur hi» subject Paroiy." The chair was taken by Di. Griffith Evaue, Tfie LKCIUBER said that 1 he subject he bad ohostndid not require ¡;r"lit literary cullure for its treatment, It involved a claea of literature which was simple and fairly popular, because it affords some amusement if not much instruction. The best examples ard of reoent date, all belonging to the present oeutury. Parody may be defined IIoS a humorous imitatiou of a serious writing, in whioh tbe form cf the original is pr"ervel, wnile the subject matter is changed. A travesty differs from a parody in varying ibe for. of the ongiual, while it retains the but j-ct matter- A burle.-ijue allowa great r freedom of treatment than a parody. The art of parojy has been much decried among literary people, because txcept in its fiuer lortns the wo, k 18 very easy aud JU wog 1D8t8oce8 weari- .ome Irom its eSlue.s. sometimes from it val- garity. Some quotations in defenoe of the art were given from D'lsraelt's Curiosities of Literature." Parodies may be divided into three classes accord- ing aa the model imitated is (1) a pirticolsr work, 12) the styio of an author as displayed iu a number of hia works, ,(3) a claaa of authors. They way otherwise be divided iuto three classes according as tbe motive 1.1 (1) to ridicole au autiior or claaa of authors or a particular work, (2) to treat of come person or thing or of some pa.ssiug eveLt, (3) to embody some amusing fancy of the parodist. L'he ojuditions lor a good parody are, the modrfl must be a well-known worD. or olasa of works ot a grave and serious nature; while tbe parody must be of a gay and humoroub uat Lire,, but sufficiently com- plete and coherent to be intelligible to a person who has not studied the original. It must imitate tne m,yielm vocabulary, »>ntax, metre, ud rbytbM, Tne phr?di.t mW al.o be oODvereaut With I he intHDIII Wl)rkiu of the author's miud, ani must La able to produce something sunilur sequence of ilea* A good parody is a pleaaant pieoe of literary criticism, reudered attractive by its bumour. The beat examples are to be found in the" It. jncted Addresses," the works of C. S. Calverlty aud Thackeray, and in the pages of Puuch."

In iflemoriaim—$h\ ftirflartig, .:i.:p. The sudden, yet not altogether unexpected death of Dr. John Richards, J.P., ex-mayor of Bangor, on Friday, removes from our midstakind, courteous and popular citizen, who for upwards of half a century was identified with ,aomt of the publio movements in the town, He was born at Carnarvon on the 18th Ootober, 1819, and consequently, at the time of his deoease, had entered upon his 73rd year. Adopting medicine as his profession, he proceeded to Saffron Wallen, Cambridgei, and thinking there was no plase like the old city of Bangor, where he first studied chemistry with the venerable Mr George James, he became a candidate for the poet of medical officer of the Dispensary out of which grew the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey Infirmary. Sucoeas, however, did not attend his application, but he became the locum tenens to a well known medical man in town, and upon the death of his employer he succeeded to his lucrative practice which he soon extended. In 1852 he became surgeon-ma jar of the Carnarvonshire Militia, whioh position hp relinquished as reoently as two years ago. In the battalion he always manifested the warmest interest, and a few years ago delivered a moBt interesting lecture on its formation and history before the members of the Menai Sooiety of Natural Science and Literature. A full report of tbat lecture appeared in OUT columns at tbe time. The late Dr. Richards, who was a M.R C.8. and a L.R.C.P. (Ireland) was a past presideutot the North Wales branob of the British Medioal Association, and apart from his presidential address, was an occasional contributor to the difcuessons of that association. When Bangor was incorporated in 1883 the deceased gentleman was elected as one of the six aldermen of the City Council, bis colleagues being Colonel Piatt (mayor), Mr Thomas Lewis, Gurtherwan; Mr Charles Pierce, the late Mr Meahaoh Roberts, and Mr William Francis Wil- liams. lie was also appointed returning officer of tne West Ward, and chairman of the Sanitary and Building Committee. Upon this committee he rendered invaluable service, his intimate acquaint- ance with the laws of sanitation largely aiding him in the disoharge of his onerous dities. When asked a few years ago to become the Mayor of tbe Borough, he declined, having reason to believe that his election would not be unanimous owing to the I t-frong political feeling which then existed in the Council. However, in November last year, Alder- man Richards was induced to ohange his mind, and shortly after assuming the position, not only gave an At Home at the George Hotel, but promised a contribution of £100 to the proposed infeotious hospital, whib, unhappily, be has not lived to see erected, but tenders for the building of which are uow being invited. He inaugurated the New Year with a dinner to the employees of the Corporation, the Fire Brigade, and the Police Faroe, and it was upon that occasion tbat he sketched the gradual growth of Bangor, the many improvements qhich had been effeoled by thd City Council and the diminution of the death-rate. The writer of this notice was one of the late Alderman Rit liards' guests upon that occasion, and he reoalls the hilarity which the Mayor provoked by remark- iug that some people had told him that they would rather die than pay an increased rate." Owing to bis prolonged illgess-we believe the last time he found hims-lf sufficiently well to attend a meeiing of the City Council was in March-he wad UUtble to attend to the dunes of his office, but he f und a willing and active substitute in the Deputy- Mayor (Major Hngh Savage), who now wears the robe and chain of office of "Chief Magistrate." Dr. Bichards, as we have said, filled other important oiffces in tlia town and county. He was a justice of the peace for Carnarvonshire, a governor "f Friars Grammar Sohool, hon. physician of the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey Infirmary, chairman of the North Wales Building Society, a governor of the University College of North Wales,local physician t) the Lomlou and North Western Railway Com- pany, in which he was largely interest* d ifnancially; and he was the family doctor to Lord PeBrhyn, Mr Ass-baton Hmrth, Mr Richard Davies (Lord-lieuten- ant of Anglesey), Colonel Plait, and other well- known county marmat- s. lie was also one of the trustees of the Penrhyn Hall. It hm already been sail that Dr. Richards had been all invalid for nearly a year, in fact, he took to his bed ell Good Fridav, but in the summer he was aide to take an outing in his brougham. Throughout his illness he received the assiduous attention of his Mater, MrM G ey Edwards, wife of the Rector of Llanfachraetb, bisnt-phew, Dr. H. Grey Edwards, and Dr. Richa d Joneg, the last named having been a pupil of his. Dr. Ricliards's death occurred suddenly. He was enjoying his dinner about three clock on Friday after- noon, had completed his first course and asked his valet, Air fclvan Evans, to whom he was mnoh articbed,if there was any pudding. Whilst hia wish was being complied with. tne doctor, who was uitting at a little table placed at the foot of his bed,was seized with a spastD at the heart.andin the hope ot obtaiuing relief leaut against the bed. After the lapse of ten minutes he heaved a sigh, and life was extiuct. Heart disease and dropsy were the oausee of deatb. The last phutograph taken of Dr. Riohards was one by Mr J. ^iokens about a month ago. He then, at the express wish of his relatives, assumed his mayoral robes, bat it is clear by the expression worn that he was a great sufferer. I THE FUNERAL. I I Symbols of sorrow were observable throughout Bangor on Tuesday, when the mortal remains of Dr. John Riohards, J.P., ex-Mayor of Bangor were conveyed to Glanadda and interred in the CJose- orated portion of the cemetery. The shops and plaois of busiuesa in the town were partially, and in mlidy instances wholly, closed duriug the passage of the prooessiou, and the blinds of many of the private houaes were drawn as a token of respect to the memory of the deoe.ased gentleman, who was esteemed by everybody who knew him. Flags were al,o flvin, hiLlf-ma..t high at the Public Library, the coastguards' ftation, &o., and despite the winterly weaiher wmcb prevailed tbe streets were thronged with spetktors, Bank-pi.co being inconveniently crowded before the departure of the cortegt from the deceaaeo's residenoe at ten minutes past two o'olock.

THE CITY COUNCIL CONDOLES WIrII THE LlTE ALDERMAN'd FAMILY. Before business was begun at the monthly meet- ing of the Bangor City C lunctl on Wednesday, the Mayor (Msjor Savage) rose and said :—Gentlemen, since our last meenug we have lost a very able friend of this Corporation in the person of Alder- man John Richatdn. He was a member wborn we all respeoted very much, one who paid great attention to the duties ot his office, and was one of the oldest, members of the Corporation and I am anre it is with a feeling of gteat regret that we have to pass a vote of condolenoe with hii fa oily. Tbe death of Dr. Riohards is a great loss to the tosn in more ways than one, aud eipecialiy as a mamber of tbe Sanitary Corainittee,of which he was chairman and in the work of which committee he took tiie deepest interest. There is no neccessity for me saying many words in proposing this vote to the berea7ed relatives, but I do it with very great regret; and lonly hope that his successor will pay as much attention to the inteteits of the town as Alderman Richards did. Councillor JOHN EVAN ROBEEIS, as one who had had a great deal to do W¡t1 the late Dr. Richards for many years, aod valued his services in connec- tion with different matters in the town, particularly in the work of the Council, desired to second the motion and to endorse every word that the Mayor had said. He felt certain that the town had lost a valuable friend-oue who had thoroughly at he..rt the interests of the city. He only hoped that others would as faithfully and ai anxiously do their duty as their friend Dr. Richards. The vote was agreed to amid solemn silence, and the Town Clerk (Mr R. H. Pritchard) was iustruJted to forward a resolution to tne faoaily of the deceased Alderman,embodying the sentiments of the Council. PULPIT REFERENCES. In the courae of his sarmou in the Cathedral on Sunday, the Rev. Canon Walter Thouias made the following remarks with reference to the death of Dr. Richards :-We should learn from these Sorigtures the great less In how to die in faith. From time to time the death of those whom we have known reminds us of tbe need to be ready. In the past week death has called away, after an illness of many months, anxiously watched, pUieutly borne, one who was much esteemed in his profession, most useful ia his life, honoured with the highest, civic appointments, in his oalliug a follower of Luke the beloved physician. His loss all will- mourn. But they will not sorrow as they that bave no hope. They will bear his body to its long home, believing and trusting that he died in the faith and fear of God. May his death, may eaoh death, may all the teaching of Holy Scripture contribute towards our preparation for the great advent of Christ to judgment.
THE WELSH NATIONAL NEWSPAPEE…
THE WELSH NATIONAL NEWSPAPEE COMPANY, THECONCERS IN THE MARKET. We reproduoe the following, whioh appeared in the Liverpool Cour er of Thursday, and having iustitutett inquiries, have reason to believe tbat the information is of an authentic character: Yesterday the majority of the shareholders of the Welsh National Newspaper Company, Limited, received with considerable surprise a circular, issued on Tuesday, convening an extraordinary meeting of the compauy on Dec. 17, for the pur- pose of adopting resolutions in favour of seliiug the copyright of the 1, Geneii," Werin," "North Wales Observer and Express" newspapers, to- gether with the printing offioe, furniture, book debts, &c., to Mr D, Lioyd George, M.P., upon terms and price already provisionally agreed upon. The cause of the proposed ohange is, so far, a matter of conjecture for the outside public. The oompany was formed about eight or nine years ago for the purpose of toqutun? the Geuedl :nd 11 Express" nwijpaprs, which were then published one at Carnarvon and the other at Bangor. A great flourish of trumpets was then made, and it was thought that it would sweep everything bafore it in Walus. The articles of association expressly stipulated that the direo torate should embrace members of each of the four Dissenting denominations in the Prlll- cipality. The majority of the directorate were well-known ministers of the Gospel, but of extreme Radical proclivities, while one was reputed to be eIther a deist or an atheist. The first editor resigned an important pastorate in South Wales to assume the editorial work, but his connection with tbe concern lasted only a few months. Since then the undertaking has passed through ever so mltnyebanges, but its liteiary control has been vested in a oertaiu degree in Mr W. J. Parry, ex president of the North Wales Quarrymen's Union, and chairman of The Carnarvonshire Joint Police Committee. Whether or not the concern is as flourishing as professed, it bas long heeu the opinion of people wno ought to know thtcaroarvon scarcely efforts a sufficient field for five Radical papers, aud not one Conservative organ, though the Conservatives are in a deoided majority in the town. Overtures have been from time to time made with a view to try to amalgamate the two Radioal news- paper concerns in Carnarvon, bat evidently without success. In the light of this notice, which will create considerable surprise in North Wales, it may be mentioned that the Cir, narvon and Denbigh Herald," one of the oldest and beot known papers in the Principality, recently spoke very straight about Mr Lloyd George's indin- oretione. Can it-be that the young member for 6hW Carnarvon Boroughs is aux<ou<i to make himself independent cf the Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald aud the Herald Cymiasg "? Or caa it be that the hon. member in this transaction ia mer ly an instrument wirb a view to auualgama- tioj)? in any event the ffair bodes anything but well for Welsh Kad c lism.

in the man% gem.nt of the Church schools. Why Church schools mere particularly than other denomination^! sch iols-stieb as the Catholics and Wes fyans ? No mention is ever made of the, schools, but still they are in exactly the same pits t,t)ii aA the Church ftehoo)f<. The reason is ohvio' s ami it demonstrates to a nicet. the hatred which the Nonconformists— only few of t'>e-n, thank goodness—bear towsrds t'ie < "hnrchpeople. The ChlIJc" schools receive the gratits for efficiency tr m th' Government, ar d that is all. Who is it thst bears all the other Íloldentll expenses w h eh a e necessary to carry on successf'u'lv the Cnnrch schools ? Ho the Non- ooufornrs's help t'iem w>th their subscriptionsP Nut they what right have they then toaeraaod thatthiy should huve a voi-e in conducting there I-CIM OS? NO riifht, whatever, only the desire to ou'-vote t' e Churohpeople, and to fill all the luer tive &I p,)iutments with their own nominees. 0 i v-- -ther h u(i, the Churohpeople pay a heavt S,-hoo, Ruar. rate, Ro.d are tiouud to pay it whstever its magnitude may be. But they are dotull more thin th it. They keep their own school* gmng as well. What is the result ? Thev piy for the education of their own chiliir- stni anb-oribe towards the eliucation of the children 01 Nonconformists as well. And with all this we are told by Ntriplitigs and bijlottp,1 famtics that ChlHCllrhopJe tike care that N mciuiforini-ts—good and pious souls as they are -ah il1 not have a voice in the manage- ment ot Church schools.

But there is another very peculiar thing connected with this incident which I should feel obliged if any ot your revlere ^ould solve tor me. As far as I nnbrsti'id Mr. Rueis is s,,pp, se;i to play for the We Hh an,l Koglish advices, ai d train not only the fcnubsh choir but th- WVsh choir, or sopp v a worth* a b,t tut., Now, to anyone who h is been in the hah t ot attending tile Welsh services at the m' her Cnurrh, he c mnot fail to notice tt-o v-st difference between the sinkingof the two choirs. I iio not fiii k that the Doctor ever puts iu an u peaisnce at the practices of the Wel-b choir. Why s this ? Is it because he dots nut speak our "tnsi.tifui" language ? Or is t ¡'eeus. th-t "\1 thJl,k, alHlhinl!"s good enough to- tie We sh people ?

It iS n, t at all improbable that had Dr. Rogers been a Conservative the neglect of the Weis,. jiorfon 01 the services in the C thedral would Ion* all" hive been tbrtwn in tiis teeth, and a lone -,i ,d pit.-otis p,(,ture drawn by the Radicals of the pa'tiant^ of the English to the Welsh.
