REVIEWS. In CASSELL'S MAGAZINE for November the two serials are brought to a close. An instructive article on The Art of Cameo Cutting should have many readers. The Gatherer" and "What to Wear" are excellent as usual. The GIRL'S OWN PAPER for November contains the commencement of an interesting article by Jamezi Mason on The Spirit of fun in literature and art." There are other instructive and amusing articles, and two new serials make a start. Autumn mantles form the prominent feature in MRS LEACH'S PRACTICAL FAMILY DRESSMAKER for November. Over fifty designs of the latest mantles, &c., are depicted in in its pages, besides the lesson in dressmaking, and useful information. In THE LADIES' TREASURY that most interesting serial, That Queer Fellow, Paul," is drawing to a happy conclusion. The miscellaneous reading is a most attractive feature of the TREASURY, which does not omit, however, to provide its readers with every possible information as to the late-t developments of capricious Dame Fashion. We have this MONTH, in tlj- SUNDAY AT HOME, the first part of a new volume. The characteristics which have secured for the magazine f-uch popularity in the past are maintained, and judging by the number before us the coming year promises well. The map, New Africa," is accompanied by graphic explana- tions showing the remarkable alterations that have taken place in the past twelvemonths. LITTLE FOLKS. This month's number is very attraclive. J he pictures are good, and the several eioritB continue to grow in interest. No child, surely, can dislike a magazine which contains a fairy story, well illustrated, which commences this way Once upon a timj there was a beautiful princess, and t Ii" lived in a palace within sight of the mountains, &e. p, XI t only do children revel in it, but adults are oftm to he seen enjoying the rich feast which Messrs Gassell and Co. prepare monthly for their guests. THE LEISURE HOUR for Novêmber has the opening Chapter of The Story of Francis Cluddie," by that fascinating writer, Stanley J. Weyman. An Incomplete Adventurer by Tiehe Hopkins, also cominei;cc-s. The Case of Amy Parker," die-cussing questions that afftrci the welfare of young women in shops and other >>hicas of business, will no doubt attract considerable attention. Amongst other articles is an interesting character sketch, "The Mont de ]Pii,i e' of Paris, the Great Government Pawnshop," by M. S. Van de Velde. The November number of the Boy's OWN PAPER, which is the first part of the thirteenth volume, hardly comes up to the usual standard. The commencement of a tale by that well-known writer, David Ker, does not compare at all favorably with some of his previous work. The gem of the volume is an arcadian story entit'ed "The tale of a pig." It is a tine piece of work, and the author might have put his name to it with perfect confidence. "George Freeman, sailor, exile, and first parson of Aurora Island," by Rev. A. Baker, promises well, and a school tale by Ascot t l. Hope is most amusing* THE QUIVER.—This month's number commences a new volume, and our readers who are desirous of taking in a new magazine for the year, will do well to remember the Quiver. Three serial stories by well- known writels are begun, and a host of well written and well illustrated articles are presented to the reader. Dr. Hopkins contributes a good tune to Sir John JBowring's fine hymn God is Lov« His mercy brightens All the path in which we rove. This month there is also a frontispiece entitled "A Daughter of sympathy," which is excellently printed in colors. The plate consists of a maiden's face, which is very fair to look upon. Messrs Cassell and Co. are the publishers. GOOD WORDS.—This number contains the last of Mr Gladstone's series of articles upon The Im- pregnable Rock of Holy Scripture." The Athenccum for October 25th states that before going north, Mr Gladstone revised and enlarged the articles, and they are now published in book form. In the current number, Mr Gladstone crosses swords with Professor Huxley, and the argumetiti are intensely interesting. Professor Flint, D.D., continues his papers, on Socialism, and deals especially with nationalisation of land. The last sentence sums up the article. Dr. Flint says The nationalisation of the land, then, is not demanded by justice, and would not be a solution of the social problem. Its nationalisation on socialistic principles would be contrary to justice, and incompatible with social prosperity." John Dennis contributes a useful paper, entitled A talk about Sir Walter Scot t." which will be read with profit, in view of the revival of interest in Scott's writings. "The Ascent of Cotopaxi," by Edward Whymper, is the subject of the first of a series of papers, and the account is thrilling. The serial stories, "Basil and Annette," and "The LaEt of the Fenwickes." are continued with increasing power. SUNDAY MAGAZINE.—Among the contents, special note must be made of the article by the Rev. B. G. John?, M.A., ent;t!ed Dew and rain, rivulet and river." which is interesting, and especially well illustrated. Archdeacon Farrar contributes an article on Dante," and although short for so great and important a subject, he manages to place a very clear outline of the poet's life and immortal work. The Archdeacon recommends to readers who have not Italian the prose translation of the Inferno by John Carlyle," and those, also, in prose of the Purgatorio," and Paradieo," by A. J. Butler. The translations by Cary and the Dean of Wells are also referred to. By way of grace to the feast the student is advised to read the essays by Dean Church (who is perhaps the greatest authority on Dante in the country), and Lowell as well as The shadow of Dante," by Maria Rosetti. Chariotte M. Calthorp writes on Milton, and her paper is one of a series. Ti e first one is very good. It would be very con- venient in the case of writers, if it were stated in the contents whether they are Mrp," Miss," Dr," Mr." or what the correct designation iil. At present it is misleading to the reader, and un- pleasing to the writer. Messrs Isbister and Co., are the publishers. The Christmas number wil?1,? will be ready with the December number, will consist of a story entitled The flight cf the shadow," by Geo. Macdonald. MACMILLAN", MAGAZINE.— This number contains no less than eleven articles, and with the space at our disposal we can do no more than briefly mention most of them. The serial" He fell among thieves" by Chris-tie Murray and Henry Herman is continued to Chapter VII. It is shaping into a good story. R. Hamilton Lang writes on "Cyprus after twelve years of British rule," and the impression left after reading it is that the result is that Cyprus has not gained much. Indeed, the leading Cypriotes who came over to this country to agitate, left the impression on Lord Knutsford's mind that the island was better off under the Turks. If this is the result of twelve yeare, how muat another island not so far away as Cyprus stand after many times twelve years ? The writer is not without hope, and points to a series of very sensible reforms which we hope will be adopted, and convert the Cypriotes to true gratitude which all Englishmen feel those nations should express, who have the advan- tage of being ruled from Downing-street. Cyril liansome reprints a lecture he delivered somewhere on "Chancer's Prologue." It is interesting, and whets the appenite for a larger feast of the great poet's writirgs. The poem upon "Autumn" by Richard Le Gallienne is tasteful, and some of the lines are very beautifully suggestive. The other articles are A Buddifct Shrine" by P. Hordern How the cholera came to Marshton by A Son of Marshes" "Love the Cotiquerer 11 by Alan Adair; '• Roman VectimigHa by N. Bodington Parkin the Saddler by A. G. Bradley and A Gallery of British Art by Mark Reid. THE EKGLISH ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE. The frontispiece is an engraving of the portraits of two cenilemen, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, now in the National Gallery. One is a musician and the other an artist, but the picture, of course, ¡ces by the absence of color. The composition is curious, and the reproduction is cleverly engraved by W. Biscombe Gardener. The first articles, for they are two on the same subject, deals with the famous Winchester College. The Earl of Selborne deals with the constitu- tion of the College of the governing tody, of which he is chairman, and then Frederick Gale an old Wykehamist, gives a very delightful account of his life at the College. The paper is admirably illustrated by Mr Harold Oakley, and will, no doubt be read with keen interest by those who are interested in the important subject of public schools. Mrs Jeune in her paper" L'hildn n's Happy Evenings," which is happily illustrated by H. S. Percy, describes an association beating the same name as the paper which has been formed in London to teach children how to play. It mav be thought that this was hardly necessary, but anyone who reads the paper will soon *ind out that it is rot so. On certain evening from 7.30 to 9.30, the children are entertained "in the Board Schools which they attend by a number of ladies, aud games, singing and other amusements are introduced to brighten their lives. Such a movement cannot but have the best wishes of all who love children, and if there be any that do not—but of course there are none. The sombre an J tragic story of Sonia," by Sidney Pickering, deals with the secret societies of Russia. It is well told, but very sad. Mr Ksily writes upon South Afiica in an interesting way, and Professor Percy F. Frankland deals with Microscopic laborers, and how they help us." In view of Professor Koch's wonderful discoveries in the realm of bacilli, many will read the paper with much profit. It is rather learned, but as everyone knows that saccharcmyces ellipsoidens is always present on the grape skin and produces the vinous fermenta. tion of the gi ave-juice, it seems hardly worth while putting it down. Perhaps it is well, however, to remind the general reader of this fact, because he hears au many things. A Royal Surgical Nurse is an account of Maria Joseph, wife of Karl Theodor ijuke in Bavaria.

GENERAL NEWS. I Mr Edward Miles, solicitor, committed suicide at Leicester on Tuesday by shooting himself. On Tuesday, at the Mansion House, London, a man named Bullock was fined £ 50 for having used his Dremises for betting purposes. Small-pox is increasingly prevalent in Spain. The official reports show a total of 1,933 cases, and 659 deaths in the capital during October. A woman named Guerin, who murdered her husband owing to his infidelity, has been acquitted by a Versailles jury amid applause from the people in court. On Friday, at Blisworth Station, a barrister and county councillor named Briggs was cut to pieces by an express train whilst he was in the act of crossing the line. At Maidstone, on Tuesday, two brothers named Matters, belonging to n lugger trading with Rotterdam, were sentenced to six months' hard labor for smuggling tobacco. A soldier of the 14th Bavarian Infantry Regiment who was on sentry duty at the gaol at Lichtenau, has been sentenced to forty-two days' arrest for not firing at a prisoner who rushed past him and escaped. A negro who had been arrested at Atlanta (Georgia) for assaulting women, was forcibly taken irom the custody of the police by an infuriated crowd, who carried him off to a neighbouring wood and riddled him with bullets. To escape illtreatment by her father, a girl in Westphalia jumped from her bedroom window. In her dying statement she made certain accusations against her larcnt and an elder sister, both of whom were arrested. The father afterwards committed suicide in prison. The London Military Exhibition, which closed on Saturday, has been a financial as well as a popular success. The cost of the buildings was £ 5,000. This has been paid off, and there remains a balance of £ 15,000 to go to the Church of Eng- land Soldiers' Institute." Fines ranging from five shillings to twenty shillings each were imposed upon a number of persons at the Southwark Police Court on Monday, for allowing their dogs to be at large unmuzzled. It was statell that hundreds of similar summonses were awaiting hearing. General Booth, speaking at Wood Green, London, on Monday night, on his new movement, said he had been inundated with letters on the subject from Royalty, bishops, Cabinet and ex- Cabinet Ministers, clergymen, and atheists. Arch- deacon Farrar had given him £50 towards the fund, and had promised to preach upon it in West- minster Abbey. About a quarter-past twelve on Sunday morning, a well-dressed young man hailed a Hansom cab in Trafalgar-square, London, and ordered the cabman to drive to Lupus-street, Piinlico. Hearing a re- port the cabman stopped, and found that his fare had fired two pistol shots into his head, and was believed to be dead before he could be taken to Westminster Hospital. A tarrible judicial error ha9 been committed at Warsaw. A sergeant in a regiment quartered there was found murdered. Three youn-, follows belonging to the volunteers who disappeared the same night were tried by eourt-martial and found guilty of the murder. They were shot within twenty-four hours. The next day a soldier gave himself up as the murderer. Exhorted by thousands of excited country people, the girl who claims to have witnessed a manifesta- tion of the Virgin Mary in a tree at Lutteuberg, has with her foster mother gone to Marburg to demand permission of the Archbishop for the devout to witness the miracle under the tree. At present seven gendarmes are posted around, and do not allow it to be approached. Miss Mildred Eleanor Eyles, a milliner's assistant, brought an actic l in the Queen's Bench Division on Monday, againtt Miss Burns, a dealer ia works of art, to recover damages for injuries sustained from the bite of a dog. The parties had been on friendly terms, and the bite was said to have occurred during a visit by the plaintiff to the defendant. Miss Eyles was awarded 950. A diminutive lad named Ernest George, who said he was fourteen years old, though he looked younger, was remanded at Bow-street, London, on Friday on a charge of stealing books, valued at JE2. The case derived interest from the circumstance that a number of "love letters" were read, ad- dressed to him by a girl with whom he had kept company and to whom he had made presents. In the Queen's Bench Division, Mr Farries, a City accountant, has recovered £ S5 from Mr Hill as damages in respect of expenses and loss incurred by reason of his having been induced to take a house at Forest-hill by a misrepresentation as to its sanitary condition. The plaintiff's family, after residing in the house, had been attacked with scarlatina and then with diphtheria, of which one of the children died. The whaling baique John Wiuthrop, Just arrived at San Francisco, reported that on September 23rd a large whale was sighted, and two boats were sent to capture it. As soon as the whale was struck by the harpoon it wrecked both the boats, killing three men, and breaking the legs of two others by striking them with its tail. Ten seamen were thrown into the sea, but were rescued by a third boat sent from the ship. The case for the Crown in the Tipperary con- spiracy trials was concluded on Monday, and the court adjourned for a week to permit of the pre- uaration of the defence. In the course of the pro- ceedings a remarkable incident occurred. Mr Patrick O'Brien, M.P., taking a photograph of a witness he was cross-examining, the magistrates held it to be contempt of court, and committed him to prison for seven days. On Saturday afternoon, a terrible accident occurred to a shipwright named Taylor, in Chatham Dockyard. He was walking upon the staging round a ship, and caught hold of a rope overhead to steady himself, apparently thinking it was fastened. This, however, was not the case, and the rope gave way, causing Taylor to overbalance himself. He fell into the dock head foremost, a distance of 40ft., and was killed on the spo. He was forty-three years of age. A shocking scene occurred at a bull fight in Mexico on Monday. In his attempt to kill a third bull an espada was tossed into the air by the infuriated beast, and was gored when he fell to the ground. He was carried from the arena apparently dead, but recovered later on, although it is believed his wounds will prove fatal. Owing to the bulls not fighting well the spectators became enraged and partially demolished the place. The mob only dispersed when it became tired. The population returns of France for 1889, just published, show 272,000 marriages, 4,678 divorces, 880,000 births, and 794,000 deaths. Compared with 1888, this is a diminution of 3,900 marriages, 30 divorces, 2.000 births, and 42,000 deaths. The marriage rate is 7'1 per 1.000, the lowest on record —except in 1870-and the diminution is observable all over France. The divorce rate is 61 per 10,000 couples, and the average length of the marriages dissolved has fallen from sixteen years to twelve. On the arrival at Queenstown, on Saturday morning, of the steamship Umbria, a strange in- cident was leported. Three days after leaving New York, a steerage passenger bad occasion to leave her little boy, named Frederick Knapp, aged four years, alone. When she returned, she dis- covered that he had drunk half a bottle of wine, and was in an unconscious state. The efforts of the surgeon to relieve the patient were unavailing, and the boy died from alcoholic coma. His body was buried at sea. Two miscreants, named respectively Caisson and Valzania, were sentenced at the Alpes Maritimes Assizes to two years' imprisonment each for com- mitting a dastardly outrage upon a little girl, aged twelve. The child had escaped from Valzania and was running across the fields, weeping bitterly, when she was met by the prisoner Caisson, who in- quired the cause of her tears. Instead, however, of endeavouring to console or assist her, this man behaved to her with the same brutality of which Valzania had been guilty. An American young woman, having engaged her- self to a resident of Vermont, received from him a sum of £ 55 to buy her trousseau and fl2 to pay her fare from Minneapolis, where she lived. She bought the trousseau, and married another man. The one who had paid for her clothes asked her to return his money. She wrote she had spent it, and offering to send him her clothes. This he declined, and sued her. The juilga held that the gift was conditional and for a specific purpose, and that the money must be returned. The ComteW de Paris had a narrow escape from being crushed under the wheels of a moving train. While standing on the platform at Platte- burg, U.S.A the train started, and the Comte made a spring for the ear, but missed the guard rail with one hand. He managed, however, to hold on with the other, and remained swinging between the train and the platform. Fortunately some bye- standers, sejng the dangerous position of the Comte, came to his assistance and got him upon the platform uninjured before the train stopped. In the Divorce Division on Friday a petition for divorce presented by Mrs Evelyn Beauclerk, sister of the Dowager Couiitess of Rossivn, came on for hearing. The case was somewhat peculiar so to the cruelty, inasmuch as there was no actual physical violence on the part of the respondent; but it was said that, having regard to the case of Kelly v. Kelly, the cruelty was of such a character as to justify the interposition of the Court. Eventually, Mr Justice Butt said he would lay all the papers before the Queen's Proctor, so that the question of cruelty might be argued. A farmer named Bouianger has been tried before the Evreux Assizes on the charge of bigamy. He married his first wife in 1885, at Coudre3, a village near Evreux, where he is still living, and the second at Louvries three years later. His former spouse, it appears, was of a shrewish disposition. The latter one, who appeared in Court, described Boulanger as a model husband. The defendant pleaded, in defence, that he was not aware a man could not marry two wives in France, and added that if he were acquitted he would continue to live with his second wife. The jury allowed his extra- ordinary plea, in defiance of the principle that DO- body can plead ignorance of the Jaw, and returned a verdict of acquittal.

WELSH NOTES. I At an informal meeting, on Tuesday, of Carnar- von Town Council, it was unanimously agreed to invite Mr Issard Davies to continue in the mayoralty a second year. Au order has been published that the borough of Welshpool shall be divided into Wards. An in- quiry will be ordered to determine the boundaries of the Wards, and to apportion the Councillors. Demonstrations of a hearty and extensive charac- ter have taken place at Bryngwran and its neigbour- liood in honor of the majority of Mr J. A. H. Platt, eldest son of Colonel Platt, 'of Plas Llechylched, and Gorddinog. On Monday night a man walked into the Royal Oak Hotel yard, Welshpool, and addressing an ostler, gave him a shilling, and said he had bought a horse in one of the stables belonging to Mr Ed- wards of the Green, Buttington. The ostler, sus- pecting nothing, allowed the man to have the horse, and nothing has been seen of either since. I Two miners employed at Llanerch Colliery, where six months ago lS9 miners were killed by a terribie explosion, were charged before the Pontypool magistrates with having pipes and matches in their pockets whilst working-in the mine. It is believed the recent disaster was caused through a naked light. The magistrates severely reprimanded the men, and sentenced them to seven days' imprison- ment with hard labor. On Tuesday night. fire was discovered in Man- chester House, a large drapery shop in Denbigh- street, Llanrwst. The tire-engine was soon on the spot, and an entrance was obtained through the shop door, where it seemed the fire chiefly raged. The current of air, however, sweut the flmes upstaiis. The fire brigade, captained by Mr D. Hugh Jones, soon got to work, and succeeded in extinguishing the fire in 45 minutes. There wai no one in the place at the time. Both the shop and stock were insured. A reply has been received to the request of the Cardiganshire joint police committee to the Home Secretary to state his grounds for the refusal to sanction the appointment of Police-sergeant Evans to the office of chief constable. In the Home Secretary's opinion the functions of chief constable for a county are so important that it would be im- possible to expect them to be satisfactorily dis- charged by a person directly promoted to the office from the rank of sergeant, especially in the same force. Saturday witnessed the extinction of the last four toilgates in North Wales, Anglesey being excepted, the trust having been extended until 1S92. The four gates abolished on Saturday were Bettws-y-Coed, Capel Curig, Pontwr, and Lonisa, which are on the coach route between Bangor and Bettws-y-Coed. The only tollgates now exist- ing in North Wales are those on the Anglesey section of the Shrewsbury and Holvhead turn- pike road and the Conway and Meuai Suspension Bridges. At Cardiff, on Tuesday, a meeting was held of the executive of the South Wales and Monmouth- shire Liberal Federation, when Mr Frank Edwards, Liberal candidate for Radnorshire, and four other gentlemen, were appointed to support the resolution to be submitted at the Sheffield meetings of the National Federation, declaring that Welsh disestab- lishlllent was entitled to the next place in the Liberal programme of legislation after Irish Home Rule. It was also resolved to appeal to all Welsh members to attend at Sheffield to support the proposal, and also to ask constituencies to send the full comple- ment of delegates. On Tuesday, Lord Powis gave a banquet to the whole of his tenantry, numbering nearly 400, at the Town Hall, Welshpool, to celebrate the mar- riage of the heir to the title, Mr George C. Herbert, with the Hon. Violet Lane-Fox, which recently tcok place. Lord Powis presided at the luncheon, and there were present a large number of guests from Pu'çis Castle in addition to the tenantry, in cluding Mr and Mrs George C. Herbert, the Dean of Hereford, Major-General W. H. Herbert, Major E. W. Herbert, &e. Mr T. Farmer of Winsbury, as the oldest tenant on the estate, presented Mr and Mrs Herbert with an address, a pair of silver candelabra, and a dozen and a half silver fish knives and forks, all bearing suitable inscriptions. The toast of Air and Mrs Herbert's health was drunk, and also that of the Earl of Powis. A public meeting was held at Llanrhaiadr-yn- Mochnant, on Saturday to consider the proposal to extend the Shropshire Railways from Llanymynech to Llangynog. The Rev. D. Jones, vicar, presided, and Sir Richard Green Price, Bart., chairman of the Shropshire Railway, explained the route which the railway would take, and the benefits to be derived by the district through which it would pass. Some previous projects had fallen through, but he thought a scheme backed up by a company which already bad a capital fully paid up of £300,000 could not fail to be successful. He thought there was no fear of any opposition from other com- panies. Many of the laoduwners were favorable to the scheme, and he expected no difficulty in getting an Act of Parliament passed and the line con- structed. On the motion of Dr. Kendrick Jones, seconded by Mr Llewelyn Jones, a resolution ap- proving of the scheme and promising support was carried. The usual ten days' notices of distraint have been served upon twenty-one tithepayers in the parishes of Meifod and Guilstield, Montgomeryshire, at the instance of the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, Oxford, and the Ven. Archdeacon Thomas, vicar of Meifod. In pursuance of the policy by which he has been enabled to surmount the difficulties of tithe collection, Major Godfrey, the chief con- stable of Montgomeryshire, has addressed a letter to the tithepayers, in which he says he notices in the list some of the farms visited in 1888, where the first practical proof of the principles he had always asserted was given, namely, that if men were treated like men, they would behave as such. Since then he had been constantly occupied in the business there had been no force present no ex- pense was thrown on the county, and there had not been a single disturbance, and the farmers bad always readily and willingly held out to him the hand of friendship, and had worked and labored to secure the peace and, if necessary, they had sur- rounded the collector to prevent foolish and irre- sponsible persons from doing things which were not in accordance with the traditions of the county. He goes on to appeal to them to adopt the same attitude again, to be content with a lawful protest against what they considered an injustice, and to show that they warred not against any man but against a system.

NORTH WALES MINERS' PERMANENT I RELIEF SOCIETY. A meeting of the Board of Management of this I Socitty was held on Monday at the Queen's Hotel. Chester, Mr N. li. Griffith (chairman of the Board) presiding. There were present Messrs David Davies (vice-chairman), T. H. Clayton, E. S. Clark, W. F. Butler, George Gatside, William Ellis, G. J. Findlay, Richard Jones, W. Bellip, Peter Jones, W. Andrews, W. Hughep, Isaac Thomas, W. Rees, D. Hughes, J. Fidler, Samuel Williams, Thomas Hughes, George H. Haswell (auditor), John Harrop and George L. Campbell (secretaries.) A large number cf reports from district visiting committees, and a number of special cases from the different agencies of the Society, were com ide red, aud the Beard then pro_II ceeded to discuss the paper read by Mr William Watson, secretary of the We"t Riding of Yorkshire Society, at the meeting held a fortnight ago with regard to the propceed scheme for making provision for aged miners. Aftjr considerable discussion, dur- ing which was expressed a general feeling that further time should be given for the consideration of the scheme before any definit9 resolutions were adopted, a committee was appointed to go into the question fully and report to the Board.

THE MARRIAGE OF SIR B. B. I ROBERTSON. [ THE PUBLIC REJOICINGS. I A meeting of the General Committee for the II parishes of Llangollen and Llantysili", was held on Monday night. The attendance, which was very larz- ,I included Messrs W. Coward (in the chair), Griffith Williams, W. G. Dodd, A. Horspool, John Rowlands. David Parry, Edward Williams, E. Lettsome, T. M.

Bympathising with the movement, and Mr J. C. Edwards wrote and promised a sub. scription of ?3 3, The reports of the collectors showed that nearly £40 had been collected, though ) large p JItions of the district had not been canvassed. —It was decided that tie school children and the people over sixty, of Llangollen, Glyndytrdwy, and Llantysilio, should be entertained at tea, and that I two floral arches should be erected at Hanty-'iHo. and j a double arch near the Mangollen Railway Station, a J committee being appointed for this purpose, with Mr J. S. Shaw as convener. On the previous Thursday evening, a well attended meeting of the tenants of the Pale estate was held at the National Schools, Llandderfel. It was resolved that those present should form themselves into a com- mittee, Mr E Jarrett, Plas-yn-Fardre, Llandriilo, being elected as chairman, Mr R. Ellis, Brynbwlan, as secretary, with Mr T. Jones, Brynmelyr, as treasurer. It was unanimously decided to present Sir Henry with a piece of silver plate, the selection of wehich was left over to the next meeting. Public r joicings on a large scale on their return home will take place at Lb.ndiilio, LlanJderfel, and Cynwyd. It is anticipated that Sir H. and Lady Robertson will drive through these places. Collectors for t!:e various districts were nominated.

BORDER NOTES. Mrs Robertson, of the County Arms Hotel, Birkenhead, has obtained a decree nisi in the Divorce Division for a dissolution of her marriage on the ground of her husband's cruelty and adultery. Eight men, employed as sausage-skin makers at the Wc odside Lairages, who had struck work, were charged at the Birkenhead Police Court with in- timidating a number of German workmen who had been imported to take their p'aces. The Stipendiary found the charges proved, and fines of JE5, 13, and £ 2, with costs, were imposed. Shortly after eleven o'clock on Friday night a fire broke out on the farm premises of Mr John Hassall, Stamford-heath, and although the Chester fire brigade were quickly on the spot and worked energetically to tubdue the flames, damage was done to the extent of about 9120, which is partially covered by insurance. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. The three o'clock express from Holvhead to Euston, known as the boat express, broke down at Sandycroft on Monday evening, aud arrived at Chester nearly forty minutes late. After leaving Saudycroft the locomotive was kept going until it got into the tunnel approaching Chester station, where it again stuck fast. A fresh engine took the train forward to Eusiuii. It was full of Irish passengers booked to the metropolis. At Shrewsbury, on Tuesday, Lucy Hughes, Shotatton, was charged with marrying Thomas Astley, a laborer, of Ruyton-xi-Towns, her husband, Andrew Hughes, being still alive. Mrs Hughes, who is about thirty years of age, has of late been separated from her husband and living with her mother, with whom also Astley has lodged. The husband lived only a mile away, and it is suggested that the prisoner must have been perfectly aware that the second marriage was illegal in consequence I of his being still aiive. The marriage took place at Trinity Church, Shrewsbury, on October 9th, and the prisoner was apprehended on the charge by I P.S. Gough on Monday. It was stated that Mrs Hughes has two children, both of whom are living with her.—Remanded. At a meeting of Wirral Highway Board on Mon- day, a letter was read from the solicitors to the executors of the late Mr Ephraim Tickle, of Bur- ton, announcing their intention to commence an action against the Board for damages and compen- sation for loss and injury sustained by the widow and family on accfunt of the death of Mr Tickle, which, it is alleged, was caused through the negligence of the Board's employes. The claimants allege that on the night of the 14th November, ISSO. Mr Tickle drove over a heap of stones on the road, overturning his trap, and sustaining injuries from which he afterwards died. The Board had already resisted the clai.n when it was pressed in Mr Tickle's lifetime, and it now decided to ailhere to that re- solution, although the chairman urged them to defer consideration of it. At a meeting of the Chester Board of Guardians a fortnight kgo, an amusing letter, it will be re- membered, was rea 1 from a widower named Bam- ford, residing near Connah's Quay, asking whether the Poor-law Authorities could recommend him some young woman who would be suitable for a wife. The Guardians took no notice of the letter, but it transpired at the meeting of the Board on Tuesday that a South Wales maiden, seeing the letter in the newspapers, had feut the following reply through the Master of the Workhouse :— 9, Jenkin-street, Aberdare, South Wales, Oct 22nd, ISilO Sir,-Having read your letter to tha Chester Board of Guardians co-d'iy, and knowing you are in want cf a sp.ue rib, I write to inform you that I am in want of a better htir. I am a spinster, aged 24, good looking, golden hair, forget-me-not eyes, tall, well-built, a good cyclist, well educated, thoroughly domesticated, and can play the piano, also or.-an, fond of children, and much valae a comfortable home. I think I should make a very loving wife to a lovable man. If you think I should suit you. please write to the above address, and I shall be very pleased to answer any further inquiries, as the sooner the match is mad a the better. Awaiting your reply, I remain, sir, yours obe(li- ently, L. LAMBERT. The Chairman of the Board of Guardians also received the following epistle of a kindred nature :— Sealand by Chester, Monday, 27ib, III W. I To the Chairman of the Board of Gwx:dlc.as. SIR.-I have tried to obtain the affections of some suit- able woman to become my wife, but I cannot find one. I will relate to you my experience. There is a lady living in the village of Saughall. I have tried to gain her affection", but have so far failed. She keeps a restaurant, and I think she ought to accept me, as I am a farmer in good cireum- I I next asked a young girl of ]8 summers. >he spurned me, and I have come to fxtremities. I have therefore applied to you, as I see by this week's pap-r there is an application. My experience is very good. I am six feet high, of ruddy complexion, and a nice moustache. Hoping you will favor me with a satisfactory reply,-I remain, yours respectiully, ISAAC SMITH. No notice was taken of the communications.

THE KENTISH TOWN MURDER. The remains of the late Mrs Hogg and her child, victims of the Kentish Town murder, were interred at Finchley Cemetery on Sunday morning. In spite of the heavy rain which fell, a large crowd gatheied, and made a demonstration SO hostile to Mr Hogg that had the police not been present in strong force the mourning coach would probably have been overturned. The further examination of Mary Eleanor Piercey, alias Wheeler. was resumed before Mr Cooke, at the Marvlebone Police Coui t, on Monday. A number of witnesses, including the husband of the deceased, were examined, but no new facts in connection with the case were elicited. Mr Gill, however, who prose- cuted for the Treasu.-y, said the evidence would point to the fact that the prisoner was the only person in the house at Priory-street at the time the murder was committed, and that she was the only person who murdered the woman and her child.

I A FLINTSHIRE MINING CASE. In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice, before Mr Justice Hawkins and Mr Justice Stephen, sitting as a divisional court, the case (f Foster v. the North Hendre Lead Mining Company came on for hearing. In this case, Mr C. Le Neve Foster, the inspector of mines under the Metalliferous Mines Regulation Act, sued the defendant company and their manager, Mr Ellis, before the justices of Flintshire, for rot providing "guides" in a working shaft in the mine, and for not having the bucket in which the men were lowered to. or raised from their work, covered over.—Mr Foster's evidence was to the effecc that he went to the mine on the 5h day of April, and went down a new shaft, which was without guides, ana the bucket was uncovered.—It was con- tended for defendants that the shaft was not a working" shaft within the meaning of the Act, because no ore hltd been got" from it, although it had been sunk in the duty of exploring for minerals. Under those circum&t.inces, it was said no offence had been committed. The magistrates adopted this view, and dismissed the summons, and Mr Foster appealed. Mr n. S. Wright was counsel for the appellant; Mr Banks represented the respondents.—Mr Justice Hawkins, in giving judgment for the appellant, allowing the appeal, said there was no doubt the object of this legislation was to afford protection to workmen who might be engaged in mining operations. These men had to co great depths into the bowels of the earth for the purpose of working the mine, which he construed to be either endeavouring to arrive at minerals or actually bring- ing the ore to the surface. Therefore he thought the moment a m-kn went into the shaft for the purpose of carrying on the mine, it became a "working shaft." If this were not eo, although protection might be afforded to men when the ore was found speedily, in cases where the exploration did not result in a q iic-k discovery of minerals, the men were left without pro- tection the whole of that time. He could not think that was the intention of the Legislature. Mr Justice Stephen concurred. The appeal was accordingly allowed, and the case remitted to the magistrates, together with the opinion of the Cuurt.

Mr Froude's memoir of Lord Beaconsiield contains some amusing things said by the noble lord. After the death of the Prince Imperial in Africa he said- A remarkable people the Zulus; they defeat our generals they convert our bishops, and they have 0 settled the fate of a great European dynasty." It is stated that Lord Derby was invited to become King of Greece, but he declined, and Lord Beaconsfield said that he preferred Kuowsley to the Parthenon, and Lancashire to the Attic plains." ACQUITTED —A popular young man was brought before a justice in Natal, charged with the oifence of kissing a young lady by force and against her will."

THE WASHINGTON STORY.-George Washington's father was one day showing an intimate friend certain recent improvements in his garden. As they approached t-lis historic cherry tree, which d:splayed its mangled stump in a remote corner, the visitor exclaimed, Ah, I told you that this kind of cherry would not grow in this situation. I observe that the action of the wind and rain in this open fcucit has killed it." Not so much the wind and the rain, I think, observed Washington, seni ir, easting a meaning glance at the embryo President, of the United States who had followed them to the spot, but principally its exposure to the mo and heir The abashed juvenile wished in his inmost heart that he had not con- fessed to chopping down the tree but as he ex- plained afterwards to a friend, "I was so hatchetatéd when he axed me that I forgot to adze sometiiing that would have justified my conduct." AMATEUR ACTING AT WYNKSTAY.—'The father of the late Sir Watkin Wiiliams Wynn was a great patron of the art, and so fond was he of plays that he built a theatre at Wynustay. On one occasion Austin, the uctor, tlun manager of Chester Theatre, was requested by Sir Watkin to sui>eunlend the getting up of a iavorits comedy, which was to be acted entireiy by amateurs, many of whom were noblemen and ladies of rank. A day was fixed for the performance, and, as a matter of course, a rehearsal was cailsd in tha morning. Sir Wat tin and Aui-t n wae at their p "t, making all preparation to give effect to the play. All was ready. Clear the stage," said Sir Watkin. "and call Lord A- His lordship's gone a shooting," exclaimed a servant. "Call Sir B. C then." "lie's gone a fishing, Sir Watkin." "Request Lady D- to come then." Her ladyship, and several others, are just gene out for a ride."

HUNTING THE RHINOCEROS. BY JIMMY BROWN. We ought always to be useful, and do good to every- body. I used to think that we ought always to improve our mindp, and I think so some now, though I have got into dreadful difficulties all through im- proving my mind. But I am not going to be dis- couraged. I tried tc; be useful the other day, and do good to the heathen in distant lands, and you wouldn't believe what trouble it made. There are some people who would never do good again if they got into the trouble that I got into; but the proverb says that if at firet you don't succeed, cry, cry again and there was lots of crying. I can tell you, over our rhinocerop, that we thought was going to do so much good. It all happened because Aunt Eliza was st lying at oar house. She had a Sunday-school one afternoon, and Tom McGinnis and I were the scholar', and phe told us about a boy that got up a panorama about the Pilgrim's Progress" all by himself, and let people see it for ten cents apiece, and made ten dollars, and sent it to the missionaries, and they took it and educa- ted morna hundred little heathens with it, and how nice it would be if you dear boys would go and do likewise and now we'll sing "Hold the Fort." Well, Tom and I thought about it, and we said we'd get up a menagerie, and we'd take turns playing ani- mals, and we'd let folks see it for ten cents apiece, and make a lot of money, and do ever so much good. We got a book full of pictures of animals, and we made skins out of cloth to go all over us, so that we'd look just like animals when we had them on. We had a lien's and a tiger's and a bear's and a rhinoceros's skin, besides a whole lot of others. As fast as we got the skins made, we hung them up in a corner of the barn where nobody wculd see them. The way we made them was to show the pictures to mother and to Aut.t Eliza, and they did the cutting out and the sew- ing, and Sue, she painted the stripes on the tiger, and the fancy touches on the other animals. Our rhinoceros was the best animal we had. The rhinoceros is a lovely animal when he's alive. He is almost as big as an elephant, and he has a skin that is so thick that you can't shoot a buIlt t through it unless y iu hie it in a place that is a littla > oftar than the other place?. He has a horn on the end of his nose. and he can toss a tiger with it till the tjger feels sick, and says he won't play any more. The rhinoceros lives in Africa, and he would toss most all the natives if it wasn't that they fasten an India-rubber ball on the end of his horn, so that when he tries to tots anybody, the horn doesn't hurt, and after a while the rhinoceros gets (iiscourageo, and says "Oh, well, what's the good anyhow? "and goes away into the forest. At least this is what Mr Travers says, but I don't believe it for the rhinoceros wouldn't stand still and let the natives put an India- rubber ball on his horn, and they wouldn't want to .vaste India-rubier balls that way when they could p'ay lawn tennis with them. Last Saturday afternoon we had our first grand con- soiidf.t-d exhibition of the greatest menagerie on eaith. We had two rows of chairs in the back yard, and all our fuiks and a!] Tom's folks came, and we took in a dollar a-id sixty cents at the door, which was the back gat. I was a bear, first of all, and growled so natural that everybody said it was really ftightfu1. Then it was Tom's turn to be an animal, and he was to be the raging ihincceros of Central Afici. I hdped to drel's him in the barn, and when he was dressed he looked beautiful. The rhinoceros's skin went all over him. and was tied together to that he couldn't get cut of it without help. His horn was made of wood painted white, and his eyes were two agates. Of course he couldn't see through them, but they looked nature, and as I was to lead him, he didn't need tl see. I had just got him outside the barn, and had begun to say, Ladies and gentlemen, this is the railing rhinoceros," when he gave the mc-t awful yeli you ever heard, and got up on his hind l-gs, and began to rush arcund as if he was crazy. He rushed against Aur.t Eiiza and upset her all over the McGinnis girls, and then lie banged up against the water-ban d and upsst that, and then he fell into the hot-bed, and broke all the glass. You never saw such an awful sight. The r! inocercs kel t yelling all the time, only nobody could understand what he aid, and pnlling at his head with his fore paws, and jumping up and down, and smashing ever, thing in his way, and I went after him just as if I was a Central African hunting a rhinoceros. I was almost frightened, and as for the folks, they ran int) the house, all cxcept. Aunt Eliza, who had to be cariied ir. I kept as close behind the rhinoceros as I could, begging him to be quiet, and tell me what was the matter. After a while he lay down on the ground, and I cut the strings of his skin, so that he could get bis head out and talk. He said he was'm* st dead. The wasps hadbuiltanes in one of his hind legs as it was hanging in the barn, a- d they had stung him uiitil they get tired. He said he'd never have anything more to do with the mena- gerie, and went home with his mother, and my mother said I must give him all the money because he had suffered so much. But, as I s:.i:1, I won't be discouraged, and will try to do good, and be useful to others the next time I see II a fair chance.-Ha¡'pe¡"s Young People.
