An Unusual Legacy. .
An Unusual Legacy. It bad teen for some months a mooted question in the little village of Glendale who would fall heir to Aunt Martha Mar vale's taoaey when she died. There were her two nieces, the nearest of kin, in the first place. One, Miss Bertha Marvale. an amiable young lady, who was im- mensely proper and feapeotable, and had been very dutiful in heV attendance upon her! invalid aunt. The other, a wee bit of a maiden, with sonny eyes and short dancing carls, who taught achool for her own and her mother's support, and did not seem to mind it at all, she was always so bright and winsome. She had done nothing in particular for her aunt except to make sunshine in the prim old rooms by occasional visits, and in a saucy, inveigling sort of way to get herself very much liked by the eccentric old lady; it was very hard to see upon what grounds Miss Dot May borne based her expectation, so the neighbours said. And now the good, queer Miss Martha Marvale was dead and buried with due solemnity and proper gloom. Soon it would be known who was the fortunate possessor of her fabulous wealth—for "fabulous" it had become, under the busy tongues of interested friends and acquain- tances. To be sure, she had never made a display of riches, and no one in Glendale had ever seen her money except in quite meagre sums. But she was known to have been quite miserly in her habits, and no doubt had large amounts stowed away in odd corners. The lawyer sat at the head of the room rattling the important dooument ominously. Miss Marvale sat in the high-backed chair, looking pale, melancholy, and severe in her new and fashionable mourning dress. Mr. Peter Horace, a gentleman who never in his life had evinced a liking for anything but money unless he met Miss Marvale, sat atten- tively near. Dot Mayburne, in doleful black, reclined in the uncompromising recesses of the big, stiff old sofa, with a sadness in her pretty face that appealed to every tender heart in her pre- sence. Willard Hayes, a young and penniless physician, and her most devoted admirer, supported her—figuratively speaking,of course —on her. left. The deacons of the church sat in decorous silence, and one or two oldest inhabitants" occupied the spare corners of the room. The reading began. After the usual preliminaries it was found that all of Martha Marvale's real estate, money, and personal property were left unconditionally to her "beloved niece, Dorothea Mayburne, excepting a few insignificant legacies to church and friends. To Bertha Mervale, in consideration of affectionate attention, she willed her favourite footstool. Its many dear associa- tions, the fact that she had seen it for years the support of her aunt's wearied feet, would endear it to her, and as she had often ex- pressed a pious cont3mpt for carnal wealth ahe would prize it above all earthly dross. The whole fortune was not a munificent one, after all, and even Dot was not a rich woman, and she could only open her blue eyes in wonder while Willard Hayes smiled brightly upon her and whispered his congratulations. Miss Marvale's face was busied in her black- edged handkerchief, and no one could tell how she was affected. Mr. Horace's face was a picture of blank dismay. The deacons lo -ked glum and said not a word. Everybody seemed inclined to get out of the way with as little ceremony as possible, and soon the cousins were left alone. I hope, Cousin Bertha, yon will always make this house your home," Dot began, timidly. You know this is as great a sur- prise to me as to you, and, while I am glad of abomeand comforts for mamma, I do not want you to be poor or homeless. Can't we all live together ? No, we can't all live together," snapped bertha, coming out from behind her pocket handkerchief. "You are a little underhand jheat, and I wouldn't accept charity from you if I were starving and it is not necessary, as I am engaged, and Mr. Horace is amply able to see that I do not oome to want." Dot retired, overcome by the stupendous intelligence, as Miss Marvell intended she should be. I am sure I congratulate you," she mur- mured, and I hope if you ever need a friend you will not hesitate Bother your friendship!" exclaimed the itate lady, rising; I think we can dispense with each other's company, and as I cannot ask you to leave your own house I will take the liberty of retiring myself." That evening the will was discussed over a hundred tea tables, and many queries, won- derings, and I told you so's" passed to and fro. What the old lady had seen to admire in Dot so much, what had become of all the wealth she was supposed to have owned, why she had left a paltry old ottoman to Bertha, who had been so faithful, and so forth, were all dntifullv discussed, and left as unsatis- factorily disposed of as before. In a little meagre private office down town Mr. Peter Horace sat, with his head resting dejectedly in his hands and a general air of forlorn despondency in his attitude. He had for forty yeanpovoo himself, his money, and his single blessedness more than anything else on earth. If ever a woman had stirred the region under his shirt front where bis heart is supposed to beat it was pretty, saucy, gay little Dot Mayburne. And yet he had delibe- rately engaged himself to marry a plain, prim, elderly maiden, who possessed nothing in the world more valuable than a worn-out foot- stool. What a donkey he had been! And how had it come about ? Why was not Bertha Marvale the heiress, as he had calculated upon? The old lady's money seemed not entirely accounted for, either. Bertha had Jived in the house for years, and he bad deemed her a person of great good sense yet the must have bungled in her management somehow. v Then he borrowed deeper in his out- stretched arms, and thought it all over again. Suddenly a bright idea struok him. Did not people invariably, in stories and romances, who had queer old legacies left them, knock them to pieces sooner or later by accident or in a fit of ill-temper and find them stuffed full of gold pieces ? This was certainly the solution of the eccentric gift, and also accounted for the missing wealth which everybody seemed so sure existed somewhere. He sprang up and paced the room in a sprightly manner quite at variance with his former moody de- meanour. I will play the disinterested lover," he laid: "I will swear to be true, come weal or come woe, and thus gain the ap- probation of the entire community. I'll marry the poor, disinherited; Bertha Marvale, and at the very first dawning of matrimonial in- felicity I'll kick that beastly footstool viciously across the door. Then won't I be istonished to see the papers and gold roll out? Won't I claap, my tearful companion in my arms, magnanimously forgive her, and calmly take possession of her fortune ? What t looky idea of mine that was!" Miss Marvale was deeply gratified at being assured of her lover's devotion and disin- terestedness, and her spirits aud dignitary tose in proportion. Indeed, she carried ber- self in the presence of her unpretending cousin as though she were the heiress and Dot the insignificant possessor of a footstool. She claimed the right to remain in the house which had been her home so long till she should be married from it, and, as far as appearances went, might as well have been the mistress of Marvale Mansion. Mr. Horace rented a pretentious house, and furnished it completely, referring with beau- tiful deference to his betrothed's taste in everything. ft Be sure and bring your footstool," be said, playfully, "and we will dedicate a whole oorner to it. I would not keep house with- out it for the world." And Miss Marvale thought this very delicate in him, as it might naturally be supposed the stool would be a disagreeable object. They w«*re married, and the wedding was the ff event of the season." Dot was not invited, but she was busily engaged else- where, and did not mind the neglect; and, when Bertha left the old house to enter her brand new home, Dot and her happy husband, Willard Hayes, moved in. For weaks everything went on smoothly. Mrs. Horace carried herself with a great deal of dignity, as became the newly- wedded wife of a well-to-do money-lender and the mistress of a handsome new residence. Indeed, the fashionable people of the place paid her more attention than they did the real heiress, who was so little like a wealthy matron that the fact was almost forgotten. Mr. Horace bore his happiness quietly and contained himself with patience. Perhaps he was a little irritable in the privacy of the domestic circle, but he was only preparing for the grand moment when it would be appro- priate to "kick that beastly stool clear across the room." To be sure, he might have sug- gested to his wife that they examine the stool and see if it contained anything of value; but she would perhaps laugh at his whim, and would not allow it to be spoiled, and when the wealth was found she might suspeot him of knowing something about it and of marry- ing her for it; and, as he rather preferred peace to unnecessary squabbling, he wished the discovery to come about accidentally. At last one evening he found it standing direotly in his way. Bertha, looking appre- hensively at her husband's stern countenance, hastened to remove tt, but he was too quiok for her. A well-applied and forcible kiek sent it dancing aoross the room, where it was shattered against the marble fireplace. Mr. Horace eagerly sprang to the spot, where Bertha regretfully followed him. He did not look at it in amazement, as he bad often pictured himself doing, but the amazement was very genuine. He grasped each piece and shook it fiercely; he tore everything apart that could be torn apart with furious baste. Alas in vain! At his feet lay a heap of broken mahogany, torn purple velvet and dusty horsehair—nothing more—nothing less. What do you mean ? What did you expect to find ?" asked Bertha, with trembling lips. Your aunt's legacy. I've been fooled— trapped—I wont stand it! What have you done among you with all her money ? She couldn't have oarried it with her ? Peter Horaoe was angry enough as he strode up and down the room to have demolished forty ottomans, and Bertha went into hysterics on the sofa. It was a dreadful blow to her vanity to think that she had not been married for herself alone after all; they bad a terrible ecene, but finally a sort of reconciliation was patched up. Both were too respectable to let the world know of their disappointment, and they agreed to keep the fate of her aunt's legacy a secret. Bertha owned that the old lady had given her 500dols. before she died, telling her she was not as rich as had been supposed, and that was probably all she would ever receive from her,—Exchange.
THE PROVIDENT ASSOCIATION…
THE PROVIDENT ASSOCIATION OF LONDON. One Possible Test Case Settled. M rs, Derby Gets Her Money Back. On the 28th of July last we gave publicity to the circumstances in the case of Mrs. Derby, a widow, of 23, Jeddo-street, Newport. In August of 1889 she was induced by one of the Agents of the Provident Association to accept a bond for £250. Her subscription book showed that the amount of subscription was to be 10s. 10d., to be paid monthly. She paid 10s. lad. on the 26th of August, made a second pay- ment of a like nmount on the 4t.h of Sep- tember. and on October 1 of the same year she paid the third monthly premium before the agent handed to her the bond. Upon exami. nation this was found to be for j6500, at a pre- mium of Bl la. 8d. per month. Mrs. Derby could not pay this amount, and in consequence of her failure to do so lost her £1 12s. 6d., which was forfeited because Mrs. Derby could not pay on a larger bond than she had undertaken to accept. The subscription book and bond placed these facts beyond question. In referring to the matter in July we observed that, in all probability the case would be selected to test the power of tpe Provi- dent Association to refuse, to return money ob- tained in such a manner. The following letter, received from Mrs. Derby on Tuesday, supplies t,he sequel, viz. TO THE EDITOR. SIB,—I beg to inform you that the money I paid to the Provident Association of London has been re paid to me, and I sincerely thank you for being the means of getting tor me the 32". 6d. I enclose for your inspection Baron Profumo's letter.—I am, &c-, JANE DERBY. 23, Jeddo-street, Newport, Aug. 29.

Dear Madam,—Mr. Green has forwarded me your letter, and has also communicated to me the result of the interview be has had with you. He is satisfied that thin is a case In which it would be just that the company should return the £ 112«. 6d. which you have paid.

For three years the Provident Association retained this poor woman's money, and it was not until the prospect of an action opened out that the association realised the justice of returning the subscriptions.
THE QUEEN'S BOUNTY FOR A WELSH…
THE QUEEN'S BOUNTY FOR A WELSH LITTERATEUR. A Pension for Mr. Tudor Evans. Our Gallery representative telegraphsIt will be of inteiest to many people in Cardiff and South Wales who are concerned in the matter to know that one of the very last official aets of Mr. Balfour in his capacity as First Lord of the Treasury was to recommend a grant of £100 a year from the Royal Bounty Fund to Mr. Tudor Evans, of your city. Mr. Balfour was'approached by Mr. Kenyon, M.P., in the matter, and, indeed, it was, undoubtedly, through thaj gentleman's earnest representations that the First Lord made the recommendation.
PERJURY IN A WELSH POLICE-COURT.
PERJURY IN A WELSH POLICE- COURT. At the conclusion of a case at Rhyl Petty Sessions on Tuesday the presiding magistrate (Dr. W. T. Girdlestone) said gross perjury had been committed. As they did not know which side was guilty of it, they dismissed all the summonses. Be had before heard perjury in that court, but tlia perjury committed that day was about the grossest he ever heard. He only wished some steps could be taken to teach people affected as the parties in that case were tho meaning of the word truth." There were some who did not seem to understand the meaning of it at all. Mr. Alun Llovd (one of the advocates concerned in the case) said he heartily concurred. mmmmmm

truth says:—" A speech delivered by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Salford at a temperance meeting at Ashton-under-Lyne was so sensible and moderate that it deserves notice. The Bisliop suggested that, whilst strong beers should be taxed, the tale of light beers not above a certain minimum strength should be encouraged by being freed from duty. This is a doctrine that 1 have always preached. It is, indeed, a pity that more temperance reformers are not as reasonable and as practical as the Bishop of Salford." A large measure of the success of the Golden Sunlight Ale may be attributed to the fact that it is brewed on these lines, and will compare favourably with the ordinary high- coloured, strong, heady ales. It is brewed from malt prepared from the finest Herefordshire bar- ley, and IlIOst delicately tiavouredwittt hops, called Wor'»ters," but, really grown in tile rich. ferule valleys of Herefordshire. Messrs.

Cuttings and Comments. A telegraph line, which will be nearly 2,000 miles long, is being laid from Calcutta to Madras. Mr. Tyssen-Amherst takes on his elevation to the peerage the title of Lord Amherst of Hackney. The loss caused hy a remarkable rainfall in West Scotland is very great. Cornfields are submerged, haystacks destroyed, and sheep and lambs drowned. In some districts the hedgetops only are visible. Sir Andrew Lusk is the oldest alderman of the City of London. He is 82. The youngest mem- bers—each 43 years of age—are the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Newton, aud Mr. Alderman Dimsdale. Mr. Frederic Harrison is anxious to know II How to drive Home Rule home." In view of the shattered and debilitated condition of the patient it might be well, suggests the Evening News and Pest, to call an ambulance. One of the first parishes in Lincolnshire to put the Small Holdings Bill into operation is that of Horbling, near Billingborough, where it has been decided to offer 27 acres of arable and pasture land to the labourers. Though Parsees are noted for their great in- telligence the majority of them pin their faith to astrology, and will consult the stars, their con- junctions and appositions, before engaging in any important undertaking. When ber Majesty is sesn approaching in the Royal yacht all her Majesty's ships present are to dress with flags rainbow fashion, and are to be ready to fire a Royal salute." This is a new order, promulgated at Portsmouth, The Act repealing a section of the Eastbourne Improvement Act, 1885, prohibiting any proces- sion from passing through that town accompanied by instrumental music "or other disturbing noise," comes into full force to-day. Our victory at the polls was greatly due to the organising ability of Mr. Schnadhorst. If Mr. Cyril Flower received a barony for his services to the party, the least that ought to be offered to Mr. Schnadhorst is a dukedom. In any case, his ser- vices ought to be recognised. This is the opinion of Truth. The Accountant states that a new industry has been invented by a clever girl. She calls herself an accountant and auditor for large households. She finds plenty of employment in looking after the business of a few families of large expendi- tures, whose beads have no taste for the work. Mrs. Bernard Beere is not, as stated yesterday, back in town. When yesterday's Australian mail left she was playing at the Princess's Theatre, Bendigo, the gold-field on which Lord Salisbury "biked bis damper" and "boiled bis shirt" in 1852. Volunteer marksmen will be interested in the information that the magpie is doomed. The fact is that the advisers to the War Office have distinctly pionounced against it. When the magpie disappears the face of the target will once more be provided with the old 12in. bulls- eye and the 24in. centre, in place of the present three divisions in the same space. Undoubtedly we owe very much to the inven- tion of railways, but is not 239 lives rather a heavy tribute to pay for their usefulness in the course of three months? There was something, after all (meditates the Globe), in the protest of the old stage coachman, when he was reminded that even coaches were liable to be upset. "If a coach upsets," he said," why, there you are. But if a train upsets, where are you ? Lady Milnes Gaskell tells some funny stories of clerical life in one of the September monthlies Here is a specimen :—" Some years ago a clergy- man who bad been offered the living wrote down for information about the quality of the drinking water, and the answer came back that uo infor- mation could be given, as the oldest inhabitant was ignorant of its taste.' This was a typical parish, with bad cottages, agricultural prosperity, and wholesale drunkenness." The Indian Princes have taken to the idea of having their portraits done by an English artist, and Mr. S. E. Waller is the painter selected. Mr. Waller will presently set out to make a trip for the purpose of carrying out tbe commissions. The idea is one of more than usual interest to English artists, as it opens almost a new field for work and one which, thinks the Fall Mall Gazette if the fashion develops, promises to be a rich one. It has been proposed to do away with the Morgue, that most gruesome attraction of eight- seers in Paris. Not more than 40 badies are recognised every year on its dalles, and they are recognised by friends and relatives who have gone there for the purpose of seeking someone who is missing. Recognitions by chance visitors do not amount to more than two or three in a year, so that there is but little excuse for the continuance of a painful and repulsive exhibition, wbicb serves no purpose, and can have none but an ill effect on the public. Some of the Transvaal papers oeem to have but a very poor opinion of Mr. Stanley's achieve- ments. It would be easy," says one of them, "for President Kruger to name a thousand burghers who would have gone as far for half tbe price as did Mr. Stanley. There are, indeed, many Boers who have done as much as Mr. Stanley has done, and more, in the way of Afncan exploration, whose names are unknown, and who themselves think nothing of their different treks. The extraordinary success of Mr. Stanley in attaining world-wide renown is an excellent proof of what advertising can do." We need not wonder at the cry of "America for the Americans" which is raised sometimes in the United States when we look at the etat civil of Chicago. According to statistics which our consul has just seut over, that great ° American town contains remarkably few Americans. Out of 1,200,000 people over 900,000 are of alien birth. The Chicago Irish number Dearly as many as the native-born inhabitants; while the Germans out- number them by nearly 100,000. There are even 10,000 Russians in Chicago—probably a greater proportion than is to be found in any other city in the world outside Russia.—St. James's Gazette. The success of the London printers at the recent county council election in compelling candidates to be careful that all their printing was done in Union offices is small (says the Pall Mall Gazette) compared with that which tbe New York Typo- graphical Society has achieved over Mr. Whitelaw Reid and the Tribune. It would have been diffi- cult to find a more vigorous opponent of Trades Unionism than the ex-American Minister at Paris was before he became a figure in national politics and began running for the Presidency. He could not have conceded more than he has done, or done more of what Americans call "eating crow," if be had been a candidate for the Presidency itself. The death of the Earl of Eglinton re-calls to the Pall Mall Gazette the fact that it was his father who organised the celebrated tournament at Eglinton Castle in 1839. The gathering was an attempt to re-produce on a large scale the chivalrous forms and ceremonies of ancient days. Unfortunately, the weather marred the display and on the second day it was suspended. All the arrangements were made in gorgeous style, and the cost was very great. 'It WIIS in this tourna- ment that the alleged deterioration of the race was shown to be non-existent. Old armour was used, and in many cases the wearers were unable to clothe themselves in it until it had been enlarged, which showed that their physique, at all events, was superior to that of the knights of the days of old. Eight or ten years ago, Mr. D. Christie Murray writes to the Bt, James's Gazette, I was sitting in the Savage Club in the company of four distin- guished men of letters. One was the editor of a London daily, and he was talking rather too humbly, as I thought, about his own career. "I do not suppose," be said, that any man in my present position has experienced in London the privations I knew when I first came here. I went hungry for three days, twenty years back, artl for three nights I slept in the Park." One of the party turned to me. "You cap (hat, Christie?" I answered, "Four nights on the Embankment. Four days hungry." My left-hand neighbour was a poet, and he chimed iu laconically, "Five." In effect, it proved that there was not one of us who had not slept in that Hotel of the Beautiful Star which is always open to everybody.

PROFESSOR HUXLEY ON TRACT…
PROFESSOR HUXLEY ON TRACT DISTRIBUTORS. The Exciting Scene at Barmouth. This week's Goleuad (the Welsh Calvinistio Methodist organ) contains a characteristic letter to the editor from Professor Huxley, who, together with bis family, is now staying ot Bur- mouth. One day last week Mr. D. M. Drysdale, of Liverpool, who is also staying at Barmouth, went up to Professor Huxley and offered him a tract, which the professor accepted. Next came the inevitable qucstion. Have you had your soul saved ji" at which the professor became indignant, and tore the tract into bits, at the some time declaring that that, was his own business, after which he walked a way. A correspondent called the attention of Professor Huxley to the Goleuad's report of the incident, hence the letter from Pro- cessor Huxley, in which he declares that the report is correct• Corsygedol Hotel, Barmouth, Aug. 28th, 1892. Dear Bir,-Just after I arrived here. ten days ago, [ was standing in the street, when a man, whom I i) • d never seen before, swaggered op to me and thrust some paper or other illto any hand. I should probablv huve taken him for a hotel toat if he hat not followed up this proceerling bv the inquiry, Have you got your soul saved?" I have sufficient respect for genuine religion to be revolted by blasphemous impertinences, so I answered somewhat sternly, •• That is my busi- ness." and concluding the paper to be a tract, a form of literature I do not affect, I tore it up and threw it away. On reflection I do not see what other course I could properly have taken.—I am, yours faithfully. T. H. HUXLHY.
MR. CHAMBERLAIN AND DISESTABLISHMENT.
MR. CHAMBERLAIN AND DISES- TABLISHMENT. Interesting Correspondence. The English Churchman publishes correspon- dence on the subject of English disestablishment between Mr. Chamberlain and the Rev. W. T MacCormick, vicar of St. Matthew's, Brighton, The latter asks Mr. Chamberlain whether there is any probability of an early Bill being brought in for the disestablishment and disendowment of the English Church. Many evangelical Protestants have long felt that matters have been getting worse in the Church of England. The late Lincoln judgment seems to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. &Mr. Chamberlain replies I am not aware of any intention by any party of bringing in a Bill for the disestablishment and disendow- ment of the English Church. It seems to be accepted by the Giadstenians that the question is first to be raised in connection with the Church in Wales, then with the Church in Scotland, and that the English Church is to be reserved to the last. I doubt very much whether any private member has the information or the ability sufficient to make a complete and practical proposal for the settlement of such a gigantic and complicated question. Personally I have always thought and hoped that disestablishment in England would be carried with the majority of Churchmen, who would see that religion would be the gainer by the separation of the Church from all connection with the State. The action of the High Church party now tends to bring about this result, but I do not myself think that the matter is yet ripe for settlement.
SIR E. J. REED AND THEI GOVERNMENT.
SIR E. J. REED AND THE GOVERNMENT. Truth says It is to be regretted, in the public interests, that Sir Edward Reed is not the repre- sentative of the Navy in the House of Commons. He thoroughly understands naval matters, and. if full power had been entrusted to him, we should not have ships built at large cost which are too slow to be of real service, with engines in them which usually go wrong when put to any serious test. I should say that it is no exaggeration to say that two millions are annually fooled away by the incapacity of the Admiralty. The idea which seems to pervade the mind of officials is that, provided a certain sum is expended per annum in building ships, it does not signify one jot whether the ships wóuld be serviceable in case of a war or the reverse. If only we can show that we possess a large number of vessels, it is thought by these sages that foreign nation* will tremble, without taking the trouble to inquire what their fighting value may be.

MR. HAYDN PARRY'S OPERA. Letter From Madame Patti. On Wednesday morning Mr. Haydn Parry, who is staying at Newport, received the following letter from Madame Patti Craig-y-Nos Castle, Ystradgynlais, "Swansea Valley, South Wales, It August 28, 1892.

DEATH OF MR. MOlliSON, OF…
DEATH OF MR. MOlliSON, OF SWANSEA. We have with deep regret to record the death of Mr. A. R. Molliaon, of Swansea, which occurred at his residence in Terrace-road on Monday evening. The deceased about three weeks ago had a seizure while in London, but he recovered sufficiently to be brought home. Here he seemed to be gaining strength till Monday, when he had another seizure from which he did not. rally. Mr. Mollison was a distinguished inventor. He was early in life appointed one of the principals of Donaldson's Hospital, Edinburgh, where the speciality is the education of the deaf and dumb; in the capacity of a teacher of the deaf and dumb he came to Swansea, where he has resided a large number of years. He always showed a devotion to science and invention, and eventually he became science master at Swansea uiider the South Kensington authorities. One of the inventions for which he will be best known i* Molhson's Electric Lighter," which has a world- wide reputation; but this is only one of many which owe their origin to his inventive genius. Besides being a clever mechanic he was an ardent astronomer, and a kind and genial friend, and his pleasant face and happy conversation—in which he excelled-will be much missed in the town of Swansea.
