The Man about Town.
The Man about Town. A hush, a pause in the feverish struggle one day of truce, a momentary laying aside of arms, that is what Bank Holiday means to us. I have forgotten even the question of morality whilst seeking rest in some remote little spot where they are so out of the world that I find they had never heard of Whitsuntide except as a date in the church calendar and as an occasion for that most delightful of literary feasts, the Athanaskn Creed. It was not in Wales, and yet it was a town which once made Wales tremble. It was a Capital all to itself, with a grey old Castle And a nohle Collegiate Church, and a fierce race of inhabitants used to giving and getting blows. The Lord of the Marches gave to this small spot his presence and court; from here was Wales controlled and kept in order-this is a clear bait to Celtomaniacs—and here you can to-day sniif romance in the very air, and breathe it with expanding lungs through the swell of uplands and the dip of valley which carry the glorious foliage of luxuriant trees till they nestle in the arms of mysterious hills which hold faint watch on the horizon. Cardiff, too, was great then, and became a seat of Government. But it was here that the martial soul of the Lords Marchers kept tumultuous court. Many a time in the stormy days of Welsh romance messengers, quickly galloping over the winding roads that lead into the stubborn heart of the Principality, brought tiding of an angry rising, and there was much clatter and sound of horns and mustering of soldiers and horses and arms and hauberks and helmets were got ready, and away rode my Lord of Pembroke to the scene of riot nay, as often as not came back, not by any means at a minuet step, but ragged and des- ported,with his !ittlearmyone,and the Celtic foe at his heels. The very country seems to scent the battle afar it is accustomed to the blood of warriors. Its earth is rich with mangled corpses, and many a brave army has laid the ground for noble elms and oaks which have grown proudly forth and looked heroic and half human in theit pride of limb and glory of rich leaf. As one sits on the rising hit! and looks down upon the ruined keep, still imperious and defiant of decay, and on the glorious old church, cathedral-like and blazoned with mavveltous glass, one feels thankful that Bank Holiday does come round, and that it is an open door, left for a moment by a lazy sentinel, through which we can> like imprisoned children, rush forth to sniff the country air once more, to feel the ftee rttr blowing on our cheeks and the grass yielding beneath our feet ) I must not Ml "<'0 it is, bacauso it would bo a which no just man would dream of doing. The I I town is so disdainful of Whit-Monday that it refuses to keep the day for pleasure, but opens its shops and its markets dnd will not be coerced. It is not till Tuesday that it, takes a tardy holiday so that it may not even in its pleasures touch the garments of I the vulgar and sordid who rejoice by almanack, and make merry according to Act of Parliament, Perhaps it has a right I thus to hold itself sacred. When a Church feels within her the pressure of stone that masons dead these eight hundred years have lain, she may rightly hold her tower with stiff and haughty pride to the sky. There are houses here which dato back to the Plantagenets not to mention a glorious old Inn all wood-panelled and with gorgeous carved mantel-pieces, so timber-framed so as to be one of the chief glories of the West of England. Shall I add; too, a charming hostel called the Bull," whereat one may drink and be not ashamed, and where my Lady Bounteous with courteous hand and gentle grace, handeth the cup so that it becomes as nectar which even the Olympian Gods could never purchase ? Here, I say, there is an old room filled with panels of Lords of the Marches, stolen, I fear, from the castle, but inspiring to look at. Where else is such a town, where else such glorious country, where else such halting places of romance ? There are none elsewhere, at all, that I can hear of. To name the town would be a -desecration. It is impiety. I had rather set my friends a thinking, and if they hit it right, let them whisper it softly to themselves and tell no man. There is more I would fain say, but I shudder lest I -,court detection. There are groat writers who have lived here, and you (JIm never rtlwolutely rely on the ignorance of your readers. One cannot even study Shakespeare now and feel one is on virgin ground. Only tho other day I was assured by a man at Cardiff that he had read I Measure for Measure, and once at a wayside inn I came across two cyclists who, without change of colour or any appearance of embarrassment, laid claim to having got through Pope's "Essay on Man." One really had begun to think that with the ample provision made for the multitude in the shape of excellent penny ptipers, where much general information can be gleaned of' our great men. The classics were left to to the select spirits" as a private park, so to speak, or opeu space to which they ¡I I aione had the key. I am aware that the three writers I am going I to refer to are scarcely to be feared. They are certainly never read. Who ever heard of anyone who had got through Paradise I Lost'?" Hudibras is tsuroly sacrod. I have only once come acros.s a being who- lay claim to having read it, and even lie, I discovered, had done so simply to enjoy the notes of the Rev. John Milford, who edited it a long time ago for the Aldine edition. The notes were so magnificently puerile, so audaciously commonplace, and so uniquely unnecessary that my friend read the text so as to enjoy them to the fullest extent. I imagine ho only rewards Butler as being a useful predecessor and John the Baptist to the Rev. Milford. *• Here, then, let me say, without further delay a distinct rhyme, by the ( way I cannot help it if one has a musical style it gets into the habit of running into verse by some sort of in- tuition, just as a hunter harnessed to a cart always makes for the nearest hedge and wants to jump it-it was. I repeat, at this spot that three great men spent part of their lives and wrote part of their works. They are a glorious trio. First comes John Milton, who produced his Comus" in I the old Castle—I quake lest this may give away the name to two or, perhaps, three of my readers—and himself wrote that charm- ing pastoral in one of the sombre rooms that overlook the valley of the North. How glorious to have been there in person and given an exclusive report and how the dramatic critic of these days, having left his sword and his helmet and his coat of mail in the cloak-room and sat down with a clatter and a ringing of spurs, like a scullery dresser of pots and pans, would have scowled at the programme and frightened the poor author in the wings by a promise of a slashing notice in the "Jousts and Tournaments Weekly Intelli- gence." It was a good performance, how- ever, and the poem has, in a manner, sur- vived. That is to say, it is embalmed in our literature, if not in our minds. Next comes poor old Samuel Butler, who made mince- meat of all the enemies of the True Faith and the King, and caused the Universe to laugh and the Great and Little Bears to wag their tails for very merriment, and then was left to starve by an ungrateful and pro- fligate monarch. Hudibras! What a won- derful treasury of sparkling wit and biting satire Is there such another in the world? Here it was that Butler wrote it; aye, and sighed many a time as he looked towards London and thought how many idle and dissolute ne'er-do-weils was being pampered by their royal master, whilst he, the greatest man in England, was left to the mockery of idle state in a nobleman's train Ah but I must not say. Then there was Baxter, who wrote Saint's Rest." T do not know much about either, but I understand that Saint's Rest is great because written by Baxter, and Baxter great because he wrote Saint's Rest." The work has certainly given many sinners sleep J <. I can say no more I roll back into the routine of daily life, with a grumble and a groan. Let us forget flowery mead and noble aspect, and only look with wistful eye to that Parvenu of August, who, after all, is I not such an ill fellow, and when one is safely past Whit-Monday

THROUGH LEAGUES OF SNOW.
THROUGH LEAGUES OF SNOW. Adventures in the Pamirs. Arduous Journey by Russian Explorers, M. Swen K I. ed mo, the well-known traveller, arrived on the 18th M:\rch at the Russian niilitarf-y post on the Pamirs. The journey from New Marghilan, the chief town of the province of Ferghan?. (according to a Renter telegram'; occupied 24- day?, and was rendered extremely arduous owing to the thickly-lyiug snow which completely hid the road3, and in many places had accumulated in deep drifts. It ivnsonly by ceaselc3s labour that the travellers forced their way through the masses of snow which blocked their p-.th, and which did not begin to disappear until after they had crossed the Kixil Arta l)as. On one occasion M. Kedine narrowly escaped with his life. With one companion he had fallen behind the rest of the expedition, ar.d the two lost all trnce of their party. After searching foi them all day and night they hrippdy came up with them oil the following day, after haying suffered severely from hunger and thirst. Thanks to tliK good offices of ilaron Vrovsky, C- o-;ernor-Genet-.ii of Turkestan, the expedition was received every- where with great hospitality by the Khirgis tribes. M. Khedine describes the scenery of the districts traversed by him as being as interesting and varied us ic was magnificent and imposing.

ADVENTURES OF EB EN EZER LOBB.
ADVENTURES OF EB EN EZER LOBB. A Memorable Voyage. At last the day dawned which I had s<_■>, apu t for my gigantic enterprise, the Discovery of Wes- ton. At eight o'clock in the morning I and the com- panions of my voyage attended a special service at St. Mary's Clitirel), Bute-street. There were iivo of us, myself, Gwynne-Browne, Arlunydd, the Poisoner, and lreddy. My own wish was to have the consecration servicG held at the Breth- ren's Room, Richmond-road,but t-} wynne-Browne, who is a strong Churchman, took offence, and declined to conse uuless it was held m an Established buildinsr. We walked up the aislp in solemn procession. First came Freddy, carrying an incegse-boat then Arlunydd, bearing the banner alluded to in my laht, with the red lion resting his paw On the season ticket then Gwynne-Browne, carrying ),al-ii b.-aikeliu-u; a-id tik,- Leiit lilies. Finally C,'l fl-IBZ E it LOBS, clad in in wlute sittyilte, witli a brass lu\!o encircling bis manly head, and holding in one hand the mystic emblem of his position as Admiral of the Bristol Channel Fleet. [I had drawn a weird and beautiful picture of this striking figure, but owing to my old enemy, the Artist, having deliberately gone away for his Whitsuntide holidays, it is postponed till next Tuesday.—E. L.] [This is ,t deliberate error. I have not gone away. Mr LOBB has probably gone himself.— AUTIST.] After the service was over, with a touching benediction on our enterprise by Father Jones, we issued from the church, and marched in the same order down Bute-street, accompanied by an escort of police. The escort was one in number, and said he had instructions to move us on if I attempted to stop and address the multitude. We arrived at the Pier Head punctually at the hour arranged with Messrs Pid-,v-rds and Rob—rtson. Between UM and the pontoon, how- ever, extendtid a. long line of railway trucks, filled with coal, apparently on their way to or from the Bute Dock". Tins was the cause of serious delay, so much so that I began to fear that the steamer would start off and try to discover Weston without me. The worst of it was that the trucks would neither go on nor stop still. The momanb we tried to creep under them there would be a whistle and a rattle and a crash, and all the trucks would be«m to move. Then when we drew Ivick to let tiheir) pass, they at once came to a dead stop. If we started to the rear to get round them, the eugine immediately began bnoking, and the whole train roiled along beside us and then if we turned back and tried to get round in front, the engine promptly changed its mind and started forward, and dodged us ngaiii. When we were thus reduced to the verge of dsspair, we were saved by the timely interven- tion of the S-cr-tary of the Cii-mb-r. of C-wm-ree, who had come down to see me start. He went up to the cord trucks and pronounced a magic word, which sounded like harry," when instantly the engine shrieked loudly, and the hideous nightmare fled awaj7. Having escaped this danger, we rushed across the line and immediately found our path again intercepted by a geutleinan with bushy eyebrows and severe countenance, who exclaimed— "Iioitrpsnce each fur going on to the pontoon WIKU I exclaimed, aghast. "Fourpo:-ce each One shilling and eightpersce! Monstrous I refuse to pay it." The gentleman assumed a milder tone. "It is all right," he said. ''I only want you to pay it as a mere matter of form. I shall return to you at least I shall use my best endeavours to return it to you, if I can get it out of Messrs Edw-rds and Rob-rt- son instead." Nonsense I retorted roughly. "That isn b good enough. You don't catch EBKNEZER LOBB with chalf." At the mention of my name his face fell, and his manner instantly changed. "I beg your pardon, he said, I really made a mistake. I mistook you for an alderman. Well, pass on this time, but—" We waited to hear 110 more, but hastened past him, and reached the pontoon in tho nick of time. As some of my readers may not know what the pontoon is like, I wili describe it. It is a broad and spaciom; landing stage, I constructed of mahogany, and inlaid with edar and sandal wood at a fubuious cost. The approach is by a gently sloping incline of rich mosaic, bordered by balustrades of ivory, and catpeted witu the choicest weu;; of the Axmioster looms. The pontoon itself is surrounded by a beautiful wall of Carrara marble, picked out with panels Oil which are painted exquisite views of Cardiff Castle, Caf tie (Joch, and other charming scenes. of cl-iik-isoii velvet prevent any draught from the somewhat exposed situation of the pontoon, and the floor, of mother-of-pearl and ebony, shines with a sjwtless cleanliness which makes it a temptation to sit down and eat one's dinner off it. Priceless rugs of bear, ermine, nnd other skins are scattered about, to remove the danger of slipping on the polished surface. However, I must not dwell on the luxurious and almost sensuous splendours of the pontoon, which nearly tempted me to remain there, and not discover Weston at all. I was surprised and flattered at the numbor of people who had assembled On board the Stolia to do me honour, and to share the perils and pri va- tions of my voyage. There cannot have been leas than two or three hundred, and they included swarms of bewitching young lid; and many quite young children. As I strode up the gangway, attended by my faithful companions, a band on board struck up See the Conquering Hero Comes. Weigh the tnetior I shouted as Isteppr-d on the hurricane deck, "'bout ship, and pnt your helm Those directions were promptly obeyed by the willing crew, and we were soon off the mud- bank, and speeding down the Cut under easy canvas at the rate of about 15 knots an hour. A row of steain-tugs was drawn up on the mud at one side, and the crews manned the funnels as we pasted, and gave three hearty cheers. I have already said that there was a band on bo.*».-d. It was composed of exiles, natives of the land which exports lead pencils and royal princes into all the quarters of the globe, the land of culture and lager beer, of sausages and scientific criticism. As I g,,izad upon the fair-haired, iJ!ue- eyed children of the Fatherland, and listened to their dreamy melodies, my heart expanded with sentiment, and I blessed them unawares. Later on I bestowed on them a more substantial token of in j'sympathy, in the shape of a penny, which I dropped into a hheli handed round by one of thetn—possibly a Serene Highness in his own country. I will say nothing sc to the select and splendid company on board. The presence of a high public officer, whose functions are not wholly unconnected tvith cases of temporary insanity on the part of erring individuals, was, I am con- vinced, a purely fortuitous circumstance, and was in no way due to any unworthy distrust of me or my motiives on the p.irt of the proprietors of the boat. As we 11 eared the entrance to Penarth Dock the look-oat uttered a warning cry- Ship ahead 1" I sprang forward, and beheld bearing down at full speed upon our larboard bow, with the evident intention of boarding us. a rival steam- ship, which bore the name Kate upon her I paddle-box.

His resignation is good, but his alleged reasons are not fhtttering to the independence and honesty of the officials. The Y/eslmiyister Gazelle zays W e need hardly ay we join in the universal regret expressed that an old and well-tried servant of the Liberal party should be compelled to retire from office under circumstances so painful. Nevertheless, there was no option, and we are glad Mr Mundella has bowed to the inevitable.
OPENING OF THE ROATH PARK,I…
OPENING OF THE ROATH PARK, I CARDIFF. Letter from the Cardiff Amateur Bowing Club. More Memorial Trees. At to-day s meeting of the Cardiff Parks Com- mittee, Mr Wheatley (the town-clerk) submitted a draft, copy of the address to be presented to the young Earl of Dumfries upon the occasion of his opeuing tho Roath Park. Certain alterations were made in the wording of the address in order to make it clear to any person reading it that the earl's father, Lord Bute, had given the corporation nearly the whole of the land for the purpose of this park, namely 103 out out of 126 acres. It was resolved that when com- pleted the address should be framed in preference toO having it arranged ill book form. Councillor White also submitted few simile drawings of the gold key which is to be presented to the young Earl by Mr Allan, the contractor, and which was unanimously approved. A letter was received from the secretary of the Cardiff Amateur Row- ing Club containing the following resolution :— The committee of this club is of opinion that private boats and boats of properly-constituted .)et, l y-ce,iist: tu,,e(i clubs should be allowed on the Roath Park, and restrictions as to the kind of bozits employed should not bo enforced in these cases and that copies of this resolution should b", sent to the parks committee of the Cardiff County Council." —Tho Chairman pointed out that they had dealt with this matter already, and that the committee had unan:mousiy decided that no boats of this character should be allowed to piy on the lake, as they considered it was a monopoly, and they ought not to have any such thing in connection with the park lake.—A letter was received from the Amalgamated Society cf Railway Servants, saying that at theirbranch d on Sunday it was decided to accept the invitation of he mayor to take part in the demonstration on the occasion of the opening of the Roath Park 0:1 the 20th of June next.—The clerk stated that this wrts the only answer the town clerk had received in response to the advertisements which had been inserted in the local press.—It was resolved that handbills should be got out shortly before the opening ceremony inviting all societies and friends to join in the tletyionstration.-Oii the suggestion of Councillor White, it was further resolved that three additional memorial trees be planted by the property-owners, viz., Lord Tredegar, Mr G. L. Clarke, and Mr Jackson, or their representatives, in recognition of the gifts of land madu by them towards the construction of the park.

" Dismasted & Helpless."
Dismasted & Helpless." Unparalleled Hurricane Experiences. SliiTing' Tale of lite Ssa. A ntirrr.ig ta!o of the sea is twit told liy WK marine. of tho Glasgow ship Palgrave, which sailed from London for Philadelphia on 22nd April and arrived at Qneenstown yesterday. From >;tat"lIlünLs made by those on board to a Renter representative, it appears that when 350 miles t,) the south-west of the Fastnet on 30th April a ter rific hurricane from the east-ward was encountered, and continued from 10 -).iii. on that dayjuntil mid- night on the following day. The wind and sea were such as Capiain Jones and his orew had never previously experienced. The vessel being in ballast was entirely at the mercy of the sea. Owing to the frightful rolling of the ship the steel masts gave way, all coming down with the exception of the lower foremast, the irizen lower mast, the jigger lower mast and topmast, and the bowsprit. The crew, who numbered 38 men, all providentially escaped from injury. The main bulwark was completely cut down by the falling s pars. The bridge deck-house was smashed ill, and a large hole was made in the main deck by one of the yards falling end on. ALL THE BOATS were smashed or lost with the exception of one lifeboat. On 2nd May the weather abated, and the crew set to work to clear the decks of wreck age and to fix jury spars. They were enabled to set several fore and aft saIlS and some ligbt sai l s and sorre liglit square sails. The day following proved favour- a ble, and the ship came along at between three and four knots. On Sunday evening the Galley Head was made, and Capt. Jones wired from there to Queenstown for tugs. Two of the Clyde Shipping Company's boats came to render assis- tance, but asked such a large sum that the master did not employ them, and came on under canvass, anchoring off Queenstown at five o'clock yester- day morning. Tiie Paigrave is now being towed into harbour from her anchorage for a moaerate fignre. It is expected that she will he towed rom her, to Port Glasgow, where she is owned by Messrs Hamilton, to undergo repairs.
America's Great Coal Strike.
America's Great Coal Strike. Wales Comes to the Rescue of the Railway Companies. NEW YOUK, Monday.—The strike of ooal- miners in variou. parts of the United States is beginning to produce the feared but inevitable effects. The railway companies whose systems lie through the mining districts and whose traffic is usually largely made up of coal carrying me, of course, seriously troubled by the situation, but tho scarcity of engine fuel is being severely feit by railway companies generally, and the arrival of large consignments of steam coal orders from South Wales and Nova Scotia i-; now anxiously awaited. Orders for further sup- plies have been sent to Wales, and to this extent, therefore, the American strikers are the solo sufferers, while at the same time the importation of Br,ti,¡1 c'J.-d oP,:1I3 up many possibilities from a commercial standpoint. At Cleveland, on Monday, the National Miners' Convention was opened, and although the prevailing circumstances in the trade are calculated to depress men wiio contend that they have been reduced to a sta.ndpoint verging 01: starvation, a remarkable cheerful and defiant spirit was evinced all round. Indeed, so far as Monday's proceedings afford any indication, the sentiment of the delegates is largely in favour of the continuance of the strike, which bas already wrought so much injury to thousands of families and to the trade of the country.Central Newt.

The stipulited time having elapsed, the second envelope was opened, and a third was found with the words, To be opened a year after my death." At the end ol the year a fourth envelope was discovered which was to be opened two years after the death of the deceased. This continued for five years, and when at length, in 1894-, the actual will was read it was found to be as eccentric in its dispositions as in the directions attaching to its opening. The testator bequeathed half of his fortune to such one of his heirs as has the greatest number of children. The rest of his money he directed to be placed in a bank, and at the end of a hundred years dis- tributed with the accumulated interest among the descendants of the testator. The heirs ot the deceased, however, have taken proceedings to test the legality of the will on the ground that M. Zalesky was not in sound disposing mind.
