LLAKTWIT-MAJ OR JOTTINGS. The Conservatives of Llantwit-Major gent to Bridgend for the Unionist Balaam to curse the Liberals, and. lo he blessed them. The look of despair that was so strongly depicted on the face of the occupants of the platform will never be forgotten by those that were present on that aus- j picious occasion. Mr. Forrester, as a Liberal of many years' standing, if gone astray on Home Rule, could not stand the barefaced assertions of the Jubilee Knight that the Liberals never did any good deed. I am afraid that Sir Morgan, if he means to get the support of the dissentient Liberals in this division, must steer another course. But it is passing strauge to thinking men. how gentle-, men of Mr. Forrester's intelligence can dream of supporting a Tory of the old school, as Sir Morgan is wdl known to lie. It does seem a contradiction of self to hear a man boldly assert on a Conserva- tive platform that he has been a Liberal, is still a Liberal. and will die a Liberal, and still occupy the position of hon. sec. to an association pledged to support a man who is opposed to one man one vote, opposed to Disestablishment, and opposed to every niea-ure of reform and one who boldly asserts that the Liberals are the worst financiers, the most miserable legislators, and have always spoiled everything they touched. The spectacle of a renegade Liberal, like our rcspectcd townsman, standing on a platform and asking the electors to support Sir Morgan because he had faith in him. was enough to make angels ^-e. p. It was told us by one speaker that Sir Morgan assisted Mr. Price to enter the Cardiff County Council. If Mr. Price is grateful for favours received, he must not expect the Liberals of Llantwit to follow him in giving a bad name to the good old cause of Liberalism. The Liberals of this district prefer the collective opinion of the burgesses of the East Ward, Cardiff, to the indi- vidual opinion of any single person, charm he ever so wisely or so well and they are not likely to vote for i man rejected by those who lived near him. had tried him. and had found him wanting when placed in the balance of public opinion. Sir Morgan' appeal to the prejudices of Noncon- ) formists was in his worst taste. Fancy the repre- sentative of the Church party, who refuse equal religious and political freedom to Nonconformists, asking them to assist the Tory party to oppress Ireland because it may comc to pass that the majority of the Irish Parliament may be Catholics. What Sir Morgan said in effect amounted to this You. Nonconformists, whom we have oppressed for ages, whose dead we refuse to bury because when living they would not. conform to our rites and ceremonies, please give us now your support, so that we can continue to oppress your fellow- countrymen hi Ireland because they will not see eye to eye with us on religious matters. What charity those people must have who would be led away with such a cry. and how devoid of the spirit of the Master they profess to follow. PELAOirs.

A Lost Diamond. Charles Michaelstone, a member of the Hebrew persuasion, residing at Coiran, applied to the magistrates torn. summons. He said that at halfpast twelve on the previous Tuesday he went to put a square of glass in a window at 34. Ascot-st reet. Peuarth. After he had finished the work one of 1 he daughters of the occupier asked to see his diamond, and he showed U her. The mother then asked him to go into the parlour to have a glass of beer. He did so, and seeing h:s daughter pass by. he went out and spoke'to her. On returning for bis diamond no one knew anything at all about it. They were having dinner, and on his pressing for the diamond. tht,. son-m-law took off his coat and wanted to light him.—Inspector King said he had sent ,'a I constable flown. but nothing could be discovered. -The Bench granted a summons on defendant I' producing the name of the daughter who he said he thought had stolen it.—The diamond was worth 12s. 6d.

Harriet-street. Cogan. said that on the previous Thursday night she missed the apron referred to from the clothes line. The wind was blowing very hard at the time. and probably blew it into defendant's garden—Henry Ernest Lawny, assistant to Mr. Bowmash. pawn- broker. 56. Pill-street. Cogan. stated that defendant pledged the article for 9d. on Monday evening.— Sergeant Sanson, who arrested the defendant, said she denied having stolen it. — Defendant now stated that she found the apron lying by her back floor on the Friday morning, and she had not thought there was any barm in pawning it.—The Bench bound her over in the sum of ClO to come up tor judgment when called upon.

Smuocs CHAIitiK AGAINST RAILous. Hcslin. Frank Parr, and Thomas Smith, all firemen, were charged with stealing a quantity of seamen's clothing and various articles from the Peuarth Dock Hotel, on Wednesday last.—Tom Smythe. a ship assistant in the employ of Mr. Williams, outfitter, Peuarth. on the day in question took two parcel- of clothing to the hotel for a seaman named Newman, and gave them in charge of the barmaid. Heslin said his name was Newman, and with the other defendants he took them away.— Lilly Cummings. the Iwrmaid. gave similar evidence, but denied that the last witness had told her that they were for a man named Newman. Heslin took the tparcels off his shoulder, and put them on the counter. Smythe then leaving.- Heslin Were we drunk .'—Witness No. I think you were sober. — Heslin: I drank a bottle of whisky before I left the ship.—William Jones. assistant to Mr. Phillips. pawnbroker. Cardiff and '&n Penarth. said a seaman named Newman bought, the clothes referred to at the Cardiff shop 11 on the 10th of March, and paid AI5 for them. Newman returned the following day, and stated that he had not received the clothes. They had to be replaced. Witness identified the articles produced as being some of the goods sold to Newman.—Thomas Perkins, assistant to Mr. Blaiberg, pawnbroker. Bute-terrace. Cardiff, said that Smythe cam" to the shop on the previous Wednesday, ur. l pledged the pair of sea boots produced. Mr. Blaiberg asked him if they were his own. and he brought in Parr to say that thev were. The sum of 8s. was advanced on them. John Elias said he was at the station when the prisoners were brought there. Smythe said. Yes. it has gone so far. we have taken the clothes, and I have pawned the boots at Blaiberg's in Cardiff, and received 8s. for them. A quantity of the clothes is hidden in a coil of rope in the forepeak of the steamship Earl of Dumfries." Witaess. in company with Sergeant Sanson, went aboard the vessel and found the articles produced. —Police constable Sanson gave corroborative evidence. He said that Smythe, in reply to the charge, said. I suppose this is an assize job Heslin was wearing the stolen belt, and one of the singlets produced. Other articles were found in two of the prisoners' bags on board the vessel. The three defendants now pleaded guilty, but attributed the cause of the whole affair to a boat- swain who was drinking with them. They were sentenced each to a month's imprisonment with hard labour.

OBSTBrcTixo- the Footway. Martin was charged by rolice-constable Headen with obstructing the footway at Maughan-street. Penarth. on February 28th.

Defendant eventually ran away, his wife throwing stones after him.— For the defence Martin called his son John, who denied the whole of the unstable'a statement.— pefeudant was filled 58., and 5s. costs.

RESULT OF THE POLLING. RESULT OF THE POLLING. SENSIBLE DECISION OF THE INHABITANTS. On the 9th of January this year, at the cus- tomary monthly meeting of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board. County Councillor J. C. Mcggitt in- troduced the question of the desirability of adopting the Public Libraries' Acts in the. Barry Local Board district. At it subsequent meeting a petition was I presented from a number of leading inhabitants I nravin"- that, a public meeting should be called to consider a question which was of such paramount importance to the district, Aecordmgly.a large and influential meeting, representati ve of the whole district, was held at the Cadoxton Board Schools, under the presidency of Dr. P J. ODounell a leading member of the local authority, when the moetinf bv an overwhelming majority recorded an unmistakable decision in favour of the establish- ment of a public library. As explained, however. by the Clerk of the Local Board. Mr. J. A. Hughes, it' was necessary in any case to test the feeling of the inhabitants of the distiict by polling. Ac- cordingly, on Monday week last, the 9th instant, votin(r papers were distributed, collected on the following Thursday, and counted on Friday at the Local Board Offices. Vere-street. Cadoxton. Mr. J. A. Hughes was the presiding officer. The result, which will be regarded as eminently satisfactory by the bulk of the inhabitants of the district, was as follows For the adoption of the Acts 392 Against 87 Majority. 305 There were 197 spoiled votes, caused principally by the omission of the voter's name. The arrange- ments for counting the votes were well carried 11 out. and a word of thanks is due to the presiding officer.

SPECIAL SERVICE. ST MARY'S CATIIOJJICi MISSION, CADOXTOX. The feast of Saint Patrick, the Apostle of the Irish race, was kept with much solemnity. Some hundreds of beautiful oleograph likenesses of the saint were got some time before, as well as a large number of the sa'nt's life by the Very Rev. Arthur Ryall, of Thurles, so that the congregation was well prepared to celebrate the feast in a worthy maimev. The altar was specially pre- pared. and a large number received Holy Com- munion. In the sermon the leading incidents of his life were touched upon. special stress being laid on the famous scene on the hill of Tara, A.n. 433, before King Laeghaire. ArdrTgh of Erin. and on Crough Patrick, where, at the end of 40 days' fasting and prayer the memorable and holy contest took place between St, Patrick and the angel, re-calling to mind the wrestling of Jacob and the angel. It, is Shrovetide when he goes up to his lonely mountain of prayer. It will be Eastertide when he comes down. He goes up there, that in that high solitude he may fast and pray for Erin. It is the culmination of his life- struggle his crowning victory over the foul spirits that were striving with him for the land he loved. His arms for the fight are prayer and penance, the strong cry and tears" with which his Master, in His dark hour of dereliction, con- quered for all mankind. Patrick asked much for the land of his adoption, and at last his prayer was answered, for we are told that the angel came and said to him. Your prayer has succeeded. Patrick's joy was full. The incident is beautiiully told in Aubrey de Vere's pure verse :— That tlion c-oughtcat Shall lack not consummation. Many it race, Shrivelling in sunshine of its prosperous years, Shall cease from faith, and shamed, though shameless, sink, Back to its native clay but over thine nod shall the shadow of His hand extend, And through the night of centuries teach to her J 11 woe that song which, when the nations wake, Shall Mnuid their glad deliverance. His struggle over, Patrick, at the angel's word, knelt and blessed the land for which he had prayed. Every poisonous presence fled before that potent benediction, and his hermit's bell. as he descended from the mount that Easter evening, proclaimed the new birth of a Christian Ireland. His was the victory of confident persevering prayer, and that great lesson, far more than the miracles that accompanied it. has through the ages fixed the eyes of Christians on Crough Patrick, and on him who there strove with the only sword and the only breast-plate that could in such a battle prevail. Saint Erin tells us what sort of a man St. Patrick was :—" A just man indeed was this. with purity of nature like the patriarchs a true pilgrim. like Abraham gentle and forgiving. like Moses a praiseworthy psalmist, like David an emulator of wisdom, like Solomon a chosen vessel for proclaiming the truth, like the Apostle Paul a man full of grace and knowledge of the Holy Ghost, like the beloved John a l'air flower garden to the children of grace a fruitful vine branch a flashing fire, with force and warmth of heat to the sons of life. for instituting and illustrating charity a lion in strength and power, a dove in gentleness and humility a serpent in wisdom and cunning to do good gentle, humble. merciful to the sons of life—dark. un- gentle to the sons of death a servant of labour and service of Christ a king in dignity and power for binding and loosening, for liberating and convicting, for killing and giving life Though great his honour here, greater honour will be his in the day when judgment will be given on the fruits of his work. Il'ere. standing out clearly recognisable amid so much that time has dimmed, is the personality to which the eyes and hearts of the Irish race have ever fondly turned. He is strong and tender strong, terribly strong, against wrong-doers: and. above all. as a father is against those who would do his children wrong. He is tender, too tender to the dwellers in that land which he first trod as an apostle—the land of Britain. Bat, above all. he is tender to his own. who call him father, who cherish his traditions, and cling lovingly to the land which he made to be an Island of Saints, and which, through much sorrow, he has kept, faithful until now. May that love remain until the day on which, according to the promise on the mount, he shall be told to count his flock on the right hand of the Judge. Thus, therefore, saith the Lord, 1 So long as the sea girdeth this isle, so long thy name shall hang in splendour o'er it like the stars of God." During the service the follow- ing hymns were sung, •• Hafil Glorious St. Patrick." and "All Praise to St. Patrick."—Coin.
