I am not, a mexiber ofjthe I.O.G T., and consequently have a w.eahness for a glass of beer at railway sta- tion refreshment rooms when I am out. I have had that at nearly all th-e refreshment rooms on the Cam- "brian railway, and at the Manchester and Milford End Oraiarthen and Cardigan refreshment rooms. The only exception I can "make is the Aberystwyth refreshment rooms. I have had a glass of beer in V-oth the first and second class department, and must say that I haveTrpver paid more than twopence-the ordinary price. It is a scandalous thing that a man should be allowed to make gross misrepresentations ■«ncontradiflted. Intending tourists coming into "Wales secing the paragraph to which I refer would have tneimpression that exorbitant prices are ehireed,-and shun Aberystwyth and neiarbbourhood. There is one thing, that largely circulated, paper is 3iot Ukelv to get into their hands if they live sixty miles off. Observe the mystery that hangs about the whole of such paragraphs. The name of the place is not mentioned. For what reason ? This question I leave youiro answer. FRIENDS OF A TOWN. When we hear of a man continually prating that lie is a friend of a town we expect to see some ocular demonstration proving that he is. Can a man be called the friend of a town when he goes far j nway to purchase, say for example, articles of clothing-, using a railway free pass in travelling? mow IT'S DONE. A shsrt time ago I advocated a brid-e over the -railway at Now I want one under. Aiiof,i--r week or two and I shall want balloons or something else to cross with. Strange that tnough I invent tales of horror, &,i., I can't get what I want done ■ THE SUMMER SEA SOU* I told you I should begin with the arrival of the first visitors. The bit I had last week was only a preliminary rub. I shall soon wax eloquent, and discover unheard of nuisances, &c., &c., &e. ANOTUV.R LAW SUIT. There is likely to be another law-suit in a week or two in which the corporation will figure. This is the question involving the Ystrad Meurig Quarry. If the council lese there will be a pretty little bill. If they win so much the worse for their opponents. The case for the council seems very good and their chances of winning se-em clear as day. WISEACRES. Even in quiet little Aberystwyth there are not a lew wispacres. I will just give you a specimen of one. No matter what subject is startea he knows jnoie on it than any one else. He never goes to church or chapel because there is not a good parson in the town. 'He knows more than any of them, and could preach a better s-ermon if they would only try lim. No matter what project is set on foot, if he -was rot the originator he mentioned it to somebody -who told it to a friend, who told it to another, and lie told it to somebody -else long long ago. Go where -von will he always has the same stale tales which he heard someone else tell long- ago, and which are worn out by constant repetition. He is familiar with all the classics—so -he- says—but pump him dry and he IJDOW? nothing. He 'has been everywhere and knows everything. But analyse him. There is not one original idea in his empty skull. He has read a sort uf smattering on a few subjects. He hears others speak,and taking his cue from it puts in a word here and there when he is free from detection, and having heard all each has to -say he knows mora about it than any other twenty. He is very sharp—in his own estimation. 'He goes on for a time all right until people begin tp see through him—it takes some little time-at first he seems a marvel, and you are astonished at what'he says, until you remember +11at another person said the same things long before He may -float about for several years. but eventually all are so completely disgusted with him and his small talk that he is taken no notice of whatever. And so we go en. :He never wakes to find out that "he is an arrant fool and a bigger rogue, until others "have made the diEcoverYNr bin:, and then lile is non eSt' GFXTLEMAXir CONDUCT. Gentlemen, if you are gentlemen be gentlemen, and Temember that if you have seen an entertainment 'before there are others at 'chat same entertainment -who have neror seen it, and who wish to erijey what they see. I do aot know whothe gentlemen were that made such a disturbance in xhe Queen's Assembly jRooms, on Monday night, dating the performance of the "Christmas-Carol" or I should feel tempted to -ptil,lisb their names. Their conduct was most un- fjentlemanly, and savoured somewhat of a good drink of something hot and strong, which had had the effect of arousing their noisy faculties. PUNCTUALITY. After all, the boasted punctuality of the Town Council meetings, when the new postal arrangements -should oome into effect, has ended in smoke. For some time the Mayor attended with praiseworthy precision to the time of meeting, but seeing that he ■was the only member present hetias dropped,getting there early. The meetings of the C- ouncil are some- tbing likan auctioneer's sale, called for nearlyan hour before the meeting takes p}a.-ce. It would be far better to say eleven and meet at eleven, than-ten and meet aft eleven. I-eat style d doing business "iooks bad and is a bad precedent for the towns- people. WORKHOUSE ROW.

BLODWEN: A WELSH OPERA.
BLODWEN: A WELSH OPERA. DR. JOSEPH PARRY'S NEW WELSH OPERA. Dr. Joseph Parry, the gifted author of the above opera, has in this instance entered a department of musical art which has hitherto been entirely avoided by Welsh composers. It is a matter for some sur- prise that the Principality, which is so rich in other kinds of music, should have been until now com- pletely destitute of operatic writing. A musical people, such as the Welsh unquestionably are, capable of appreciating and developing this kind of dramatic music, mightreasollably have been expected to produce something in this line sooner. Dr. Parry and the late lamented poet of Llanbrynmair were, m an eminent degree, happy in their choice of a theme. Nothing could be more appropriate than that the first Welsh opera should be composed to a subject endowed with national characteristics, and a more fitting subject could hardly have been chosen for elaboration than an interesting incident in Welsh history in the reign of King Honry Bolingbroke in the 14th century. The characters in the opera are— Bloclto,ern (the title role). daughter of Rhys Gwyn, a. Welsh warrior, sut-posed to have fallen in battle Ellen, daughter of Lady Maelor Lady Maelor, of Maelor Castle; Sir Hywel Ðdu, the Knight of Snowdon Castle; The Messenger of Lady Maolor; Arthur o'r Benvyn, a Welsh warrior lolo, a bard Rhys Givyn, Montes, Soldiers, Huntsmen, Castle. "keepers, &c., &c. The opera consists of 41 numbers, divided into three acts, which are sub-divided into two scenes each. The opening scene is laid in the castle of Maelor, which has for some time been the scene of great activity and unusual preparations. It is the eve of the marriage of Ellen to Arthur o'r Benvyn. Lady Maelor is intently viewing the numerous bridal presents which have been bestowed upon her happy child. The arrival of Sir Hywel Ddu and his fair adopted Bwchuf:1i on a visit to Maelor is impatiently awaited. Suddenly the messenger announces their arrival, upon which Lady Maelor greets them in a neat seiig, and the attendants in the distance are heard manifesting their regard for Arthur and Ellen in a prettily written chorus to the following words On the wall, above the chamber Where sweet Ellen sleeps at night, Let 11 make a heart of lilies, Interspersed with ruses bright; Let us blerul in onrige blossems Names of two that will be one; And withpu that sacred figure Fix the blended names anon. The bard, followed by a retinue of well. wishers, then enters the apartment, and Arthur and Ellen receive the homage of those assembled. In the second scene the locality is unchanged. The nuptials of Ellen-and Arthur have been consumma- ted In the festive hall, where gaiety an. reigned supreme, they are surrounded by devotea friends. In this scene_ occurs a beautifu^_ g waltz—an exquisite piece of writing 'TJ,a think, is certain to attain immense popularity. I he time is well marked by all the parts in succession, while the melody is at once both catching and effec- tive. To return to the plot. The sun of evening, fast approaching the horizon, poured in its golden good upon the assembled guests, whose mirth had already reached its climax, when a number of Plan- tagenet soldiers present themselves outside the ramparts, and demand the keys f the castle. Little heed was, however, paid to Henry's henchmen by the imperious Lady Maelor, who bade them return with this, her scornful reply- Go and tell youi- haughty sovereign That the freeborn sons of Wales, Sheltered by their loftv mountains, Treat Iris threats as idle tales Look upon the wavinp: crayon On'the tower plantt d high, It will lead ogaill tovicilry A. it. did in days gone by. A firm and spirited little chorus to the above lines, supposed to Too sung by the castle attendants, brmgs the first act to a close. The opening scene of the second act is laidm front of Maelor Castle. On the lawn, in the grey of morn, while the hunters are preparing for the chase, lolo enters, and from the appearance of the heavens pre- phesies that troubles are impending. SirHywell Ddu, who does not join the hunters, in a subdued tone sings the following1 ditty to Bladwen- My Blodwen is blithe as the morning, And chaste as the rays of the sun. She needs not the spurious adorning Which other vain dalusels IJut on; The pines on the mountain may perish, The flowers may droop on the plain, But this fond assurance I cherish. The titect aaectiun will flourih My Blodwen shall BU.dwen for ever remain. From an adjacent arbour Blodwen overhears the sentiments of love exprossed by the smitten knight, and eventually a scene of mutual declaration of aSoetion taflea place. The preparation for the chase are abruptly terminated by the appearance of the messenger upon the scene. Verifying the predictions of Ialo, he declares that King Henry's legions are marching upon :the fatherland, and concludes, by uttering, in the name of the Prince, a call to arms in defence of home and country. Sir Howell and Arthur cheer one another in a duet of martial music, He fouows:- The martial spirit, which of old Defied-the Roman legions, Though Ions allay'd is taking hold Of dll the mountain regions The call to arms is promptly greeted With fervent shouts, where'er repeated; Around tur Prince the warriors rally- A countless thrcng From hill and valley:— A-countlese throng. Following this we have a capital soldier's -chorea with the genuine ring about it, written for two tenors and two basses. It is a composition full of spirit and enthusiasm, coupled with an expression of faith in the interposition of Divine Providence in behalf-of right against might, and is arranged with signal ability. The scene, on the eve of departure to the field of battle, is rendered pathetic and effective by the introduction of an air expressive of Ellen's grief at parting from her husband. Blodwen, who is also overwhelmed with sorrow, following the example -set by Ellen, fastens a favour upon the example -set by Ellen, fastens a favour upon the breast of her betrothed, repeating as she does so the song already sang by Ellen. This scene, which is one of the beat a,rranged;inthe work, terminates with a chorus of Welsh soldiers. In the-next scene a messenger from the field of battle arrives with discouraging news of the dire conflict. Although Arthur and Sir Hjitmll have distinguished themselves by their valour, there are but faint hotpes that victory will crown their efforts. A further elaboration of tnis.episode terminates the second act. It might be accepted as a proof that the libretto and music have been skilfully treated when we find the interest gradually increasing with the develope- ment of the Ifiot, and culminating in the concluding ,act. There is no anti-climax—the interest of the libretto is not permitted to flag, and the effect the sausic is kept unbroken throughout; and the eaimax is appropriately withheld until the conclusion of the last act is approaching. But to return to the tfeeme. Arthur, mortally-wounded, has been conveyed isaeJt to the castle, where lie lies under the tender care of his youthful spouse. Calm, and even joyful, m the midst of agony, :he 'breathes the song he sang to his devoted Ellen when he departed for the fray; and while the last words of the song are yet on his lips, he draws hiaexpirmg breath. Then comes a solemn funeral chorus of appropriate ic wedded to appropriate words. Blodwen, anxious for the fate of Sir ihywell, in a song invokes the passing breeze to carry her some tidings of her absent lover. The words -of this song are exqaisitive in their tenderness and appropriateness, and-it is only want of space that preclude them from this notice. The mingled anxiety and sense of abject loneliness on the part of Blodwen develop into intense anguish Qa being in- formed by Iolo that the Welsh have been van- quished, acad that Sir Hywell Ddu has been made jwisoner. # The scene has changed "-—it is a dismal cell m Chester Cattle, in which the gaHaxt knight of Ssoowdon Caatle lies incarcerated. Blodwm; Lady Maelor, and Lolo have had permission to visit him on the eve of execution. The condemned Sir Hywell, singing his faiewell song to Blad-wen, returns to her the favour, once of pearly whiteness, but now dis- coloured with the gore of the fallen. While the knight imparts the last kiss upon the lips of the bethrothed, violent knocking is heard at the nmfcstvo prison doors. A stranger, of imposing mien, enters excitedly, and demands to be shewn to Sir HyiveCs cell. Iolo meanwhile geeks to know the stranger's name, who, to the astonishment of all, ia found to be no other than Rhys Gwyn (Blod'it'e.n:,S father), who was supposed to have been slain 20 yesu-s previous J to this. A scene of inexpressible joy follows this happy dlscovery-Blodwen rushes into her father's arms, and he in turn embraces her with paternal affection; Iolo and Lady Maelor stand bySa blank aatonishment, and the unhappy knight watches the scere with the utmost bewilderment. It is only when the first blnah of excitement has ^anewhat abated that R^V* Gu-yn has time to oomnumieate the joyous tidings of which he is the bearer. The king had died, and to mark the mournful day, ifc had been decreed that all prisoners should receive free pardon! The prisoners are liberated—the prison doors are thrown wide open—the excited multitude rush in with shouts of joy; and the opera terminates with a spirited jugal chorus, into which the pred omi- nant strains of a popular Welsh march have been skilfully and effectively introduced. Such, briefly, are the salient points of the pioneer Welsh opera. It would manifestly be impossible to crowd into the limited space at our command any. thing like an adequate description of the stirring points with which the libretto teems, based, as it has been, upon an eventful era in the history of the oft- repeated efforts of the Welsh to retain their indepen- dence. The words, written originally in Welsh verse by the late Mynyddog, have been rendered into English by Professor Rowlands, M,A., and we are glad to be able to bear testimony to the skilful manner in which he has achieved a somewhat difficult task. The opera, which will soon be pub- lished in a volume, is thus furnished with Welsh and English words, which cannot but greatly enhance the value of the work, and enlarge the circle of those likely to peruse it. The music is of moderately difficult character, and has been carefully written. It is, unquestionably, by far the most important work hitherto composed by Dr. Parry, and is, more- over, one calculated to reflect great credit on its talented author. Having heard the majority of the choruses rendered by the Representative Choir, under the conduetorship of the composer, we venture to affirm that they do not lack the requisite elements of permanent popularity. "Blodwen" will form part of the programme of the Welsh Representative Choir's forthcoming concerts at Aberdare, Ponty- pridd, Cardiff, Newport, Bristol, London, and Cam- bridge. It is also to be performed by Dr. Parry's own choir at Aberystwyth, at the desire of the local Masonic Lodge, and under the patronage of the leading families of the county of Cardigan.

TREGARON.
TREGARON. —Tregaron has not gone in for clean roads yet. It is most remarkable that after the least possible fall of ruin the streets and roads at this village are one mass of mud—thick clogging mud -almost strong enough to pull tiie soles off the un lucky pedestrians boots. Tregaron has, however taken on the whole, improved somewhat the last few months. I HE I^RIDGE.—We would call the actention of the police officials to the crowd of loungers which constantly assembles on the bridge oGn market and fair days to the no small inconvenience of pedes- trians who have to get through by force if they wish to reach the other side.

A WORD FOR DUMB ANIMALS.
A WORD FOR DUMB ANIMALS. The following- lines are written with the intention of allaying, if possible, the cruelty which pervades in the summer season, not only in this but other watering places. The sentiment is excellent—Kind- ness to dumb animals-and we commend their perusal and careful consideration to every one who has an animal of any kind. Much, as we have frequently proved, Gan be done by kindness to clumb animals, who have feelings as have human beings, and little can be done by cruelty. Let those who have donkeys and ponies and who frequently treat them with that harshness they do not deserve during the summer months, take the hints given in the fol- lowing lines "The man of mercy to his beast is kind, But brutal actions shew a brutal mind, Remember He who made thee, made the brute, Who gave thee spefich and rea80n, formed him inute3 He can't complain, but God's al! seeing eye Bnholds thy cruelty, He hears his cry. He was designed thy servant, not thy drudge, And, know, that his Creator is thy Judge." I plead the cause of all the brute creation In this, our land, or any other nation. The noble animal the horse, we see The victim of his master's cruelty. The patient ass endures, and makes no noise. Though often treated ill by men and boys;. They seem to think that donkeys cannot feel, Perchance are made of iron or of steel. The lower animals are made to obey, By torture, cruelty, and iron sway. But is that Christian-like to treat them M? Could we not manage them without a blow 7. Think you that God, who made them to be used, Is pleased to see his creatures so abused 1 No Seaich the Scriptures, and you there will find, The man of mercy to his bea>t is kind They, who are merciful are blest indeed, And shall have mercy in their hour of need, Try kindness then, and by that trial prove, That nothing sooner wins the creatures lûve. They willingly obey their master's vcice And all the brute creation may rejoiee, If but their masters can be made to see That naught is gained by needless cruelty.

--------------NORTH CARDIGANSHIRE…
NORTH CARDIGANSHIRE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of this society was held last Saturday, at the Aberystwyth Board School-room. The muster was a fair one, and the business was conducted in a lively and interesting manner. The treasurer's report shewed a balance in hand of iSi 10s. lO.jd., which was thought to be highly satis- factory. The following officers were re-elected, viz., Mr Prosser, Taliasin, chairman; Mr Adams, Penllwyn, vice-chairman; Mr Ivory, Penrhyncoch, secretary; Mr Eemp, Talybont, treasurer; and it was resolved that thenceforth the society's year should terminate on the 31st December. The most interesting feature of the meeting was a discussion concerning the use I and abstso of copy books. For the most part those present (declared themselves emphatically against the use of cpy books in teaching writing to the lower classes c £ public elementary schools, the use of exercise books and the black board being considered preferable, as each teacher has some thirty or forty pupils to instruct at the same time. Owing mainly to irregulatiLfcy of attendance, the use of copy books ■interferes wifJl the thorough efficiency of the black- board lesson. Young children require to see how the writing is done; to see the i-esult of the action is not nearly suffiLeient. The ruled exercise book and the blxck board can be used together most ad- vantageously, as the "employment of them enables the teacher to induce that magic influence which is felt whea. prompt united action follows the decision of a, single mind. The use of copy books tends to destroy tie unity of the class, and induces desultori- nees.
