Dear Sir,—I am a poor hand at expressing my feel- ings, but I should like to thank you. Your Lozengea have done wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of Tracheotomy' (the same as the late lfimperor of Germany, and, unlike him, thank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could pt)ssibly have had a more violent cough: it was so bad at times that it quite exhausted me, The mucus, which was very copious and hard, has been softened, and I have been able to set rid of it with- out difficulty .—I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL." UTrEULY UNRIVALLED.2 u The above speaks for itself. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Seatiug's Cough Ixizenges is understated. The operation was a speeially severe one, and was perfonned by the specialist, Dr. H. T. Butlin, of Bt. Bartholomew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means of relief is the use of these Lozenges. Ho successful are they that one affords imme- diate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is intense. w EIGHT IN GOLD. Under date Sept. 8, J891, Mr. Hill writes" I should long since have been dead but for your Lozenges-they are mrrtk their weight in gold.

NOTES, (By "OBSERVER") CARDIFF, TUESDAY MORNING. 1 To-day is the great day of All Saints, the day of re-union amongst the loyal hearts and true alike of the present and of the past, the day of solemn memories and high and holy resolves-and the day of the Cardiff municipal election. To some people, doubt- less, the latter is vastly the most important, for hath not wisdom uttered her voice and spoken, saying, There is no acoomvting for tastes ? Still, though the Church may not recognise it or the canon make men- tion of it, the election is a very serious matter. The burgesses of our great town—and who amongst us is not really proud of it ?—have to-day the opportu- I nity of making or of marring the council. They have the power of returning to the municipal board men of sense and probity, men of judgment aud understanding, or of putting into office people who, put to my genial friend tó Spinnaker's" test, would simply be weighed in the balances and found want- ing. This surely is a great occasion, and I trust every burgess will rise to it. Let us, whatever we do, refrain from giving our suffrages to quacks. Be a man Liberal or fory I care not so he be honest, and a real downwright honest workingman I admire as much as one of them. But who are these who for the first time loom above the horizon P Social Reformers, Progressive Men, Fabians, Meddlers,Pretenders—in other words, Quacks. Of such let us beware. These people know a great deal more than their business; they are itching to meddle m other people's affairs, some of them possibly to stiok their hands into other people's pockets. To-day witnesses the operation of the thin end of the wedge, and if the good people of Cardiff are foolish enough to give quaokdom a lift then the Lord beip us in the future, that's all! I am speaking now specially to -ray working: men readers, and I would ask them to be- very very carefnl how they record their* suffrages. It is the working man's special weakness to be gulled and quacked. Any'; loud-mouthed and pretentious spooter can5 hook him in, and the poor fellow has to smart for it afterwards. Friends, be careful, to-day, and whatever yoa do, froare quaeksl I saw several fellows very much the worsen for drink this morning. Was it, I wonder4 the remnant of last night's booze, or a kind of preparation for to-day's aronioipal festi- vities ? The Rev. Canon Body, of Durham Cathedral^ preaches at St. Saviour's, East Moors, this evening in connection with the dedication festival. Will my readers who appreciate a good discourse make a note ? You young musical mashers at the Dock., take note. One of your number, who has just invested in a wife, has proved himself par txcdlmee a cautious man. Before leaving town for his honeymoon, I learn that be took the precaution to transfer from his own snug little cottage at Roath to his father-in-law's keeping, the whole of the wedding presents and his own peculiar treasures, including a genuine Strad." A couple of day after the departure of the happy pair, a bobby noticed a pane of glass broken in the temporarily deserted cottage, and, pursuing his investigations further, be found thieves had been on the prowl; but, thanks to our friend's forethought, though they had toiled all night yet had they caught nothing! # Frequenters of the central reading-room will note its temporary removal to premises in Wharton-street. The large room now tenanted is about the size of the proposed new public reading-room, and Cardiffians can judge for themselves whether (as some think) it is too large. Not one whit, in my judg- ment. A competent authority assures me that St. John's will become the centre of a clientele of visitors such aa the grand old fane has never known before, for the purpose of admiring Mr. Gascombe John's admirable reredos. I stand in Bale-street, grim andsUrn, The railway passes o'er me, And underneath tlia giddy throng Behind me and beforo me. So low and cunning in the build, A modern death-trap, I, sirs,— I've many a soul from tram-car tipped Into the By-and-bye, sirs. Some blame the Corporation, some The Railway—how they babMe But still I get my pound of flesh Out of the grumbling rabble; And still with many a sudden thwack I waft 'em o'er the river— For men may shout, contrive, and spout, But I stick there for ever!

ALLEGED ROBBERY AT CARDIFF, At Cardiff Police-cobrt this morning (before Mr. T. W. Lewis, stipendiary, and Alderman Jacobs) William Millward was brought up charged with stealing a. book of discharges from the person of James Grant, a fireman, in Trelillian-terrac.. on the 31st inst.-Prosecutor said he was in Tresillian- terrace, when prisoner and another unknown man came up to him and knocked him down, taking out of his pocket a book of discharges and about 20s. in silver and gold.-James Powell, an errand boy, mid he saw prisoner searching prosecutor's pockets. He then ran for a policeman.— Police-constable Diamond said bo was called oa the scene by the lallt witness. The officer arrested prisoner, but found nothing on his person, the proaeculoj himself being in possession of the dis- charge book. Prosecutor was very drunk.—The Magistrates sent prisoner for trial at the next assizes, and ordered the witness, James Powell, to receive 10s. from the poor box in recognition of his services.

INDIGNANT PARISHIONERS. Protest Against the Statements of their Vicar. An indignation meeting of the parishioners of Sheriff Hales, Salop, was held on Monday night to protest against certain remarks made from the pulpit by the vicar, the Rev. A.

One resolution prayed the bishop to use his influence in bringing about a change in the incumbency. Another called upon the vicar to withdravl in the pulpit his offensive remarks. The meeting closed with load-cheers for the duke and duchess.

DISTRICT NEWS. CARDIFF. A SUPERB PK?IOHE.—There is now on view at the Cabinet of Fine Arts, in the Castle Arcade, a superb picture painted by Frederick Goodall, R A., entitled Andromeda." The work, both in con- ception and execution, fully maintains the repu- tation of this clever artist. Upon a rock in the foreground, rising obliquelv from the set, and bncked by a range of lofty mountains, is chained the daughter of the Ethiopian King, Cepheue, there to be devoured by a sea monllter-the punishment meted out by Neptune to Cassiopeia for her motherly boast that Andromeda was more beautiful thau tbe Nereides. The anatomy of the figure is pe-rfect. and the flesh tints are so true to nature that it is difficult to realise the creation under notice is but a counterfeit presentment, of life. It is in the upper part of the body, however, the genius of the painter is most apparent. With outstretched hands and eyes beaming with expectancy and love it is clear that Andromeda hns just caught eight of the victorious Perseus, in whom she recognises her deliverer. There is not a tinge of sadness in the face, and the tender blush and parted lip show how carefuny the artist has thought out his subject. On refe- rence to an advertisement which appears in another column of this paper it will be seen that the picture will be on view for a short period, and art lovers in this district should avail themselves the opportunity of viewing this work of art.

THE CANTON WARD HA,NDICA,P. •' THE FAVOURITE WINS WITH HIS HANDS DOWN.

The Morning Papers. ow_ THE AMERICAN ELECTIONS. The old distinction between Democrat and Re- publican has almost disappeared. It has been dwindling with occasional and spasmodic revivals ever since the war. State rights and Federal tights are now settled entirely by the legal tri- bunals. But the sort of legislation which has been prompted by the M'Ktnley Tariff can be appreciated without difficulty by men of all parties, and men of none. The money accumu- lated by unnece?Siry taxation is being spent for purposes which are disgraceful to a civilised com- munity. Pension Bills have created claim ageuls," ind claim agents boldly announce that, "soldiersor officers dishonourably discharged or dismissed from the service can now get pensions." If Mr. Clovelaud is electe they wiil be able to get pensions no longer. —Daily News. THE LIBERATOR SCANDAL. There it one aspect of these revelations to which we desire to give the greatest possible prominence, it is this: the money invested in the Liberator Building Society—presumably by small investors, for that is the claas of people who use this" poor man's lank" has been employed almost entirely in one or two enormous specu- lative jnterprlses. Had he suspected that he was helping to finance J. W. Hobbs and Co,, it is certain that the small investor would have fled in horror, yet this is what his money vas really doing. Whether there have been aoj wilful deceivt rs or not the processes of civil laV are now determining, and we shall be surprised if the criminal law is not called in to assist; tut that there have been large numbers of deceived is clear enough, and, as seems to be always .he case in our present social economics, the sufferers have been thosn who least deserve and can least afford to lose.- Chronicle. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. Mr. Wlliam Bush. who was on Monday fined ie5 for tvisting off the tail of the skeleton of a rhinocens at the Natural History Museum, averred that he had thus misconducted liiin.seif for purp.s'js of scientific research. The repre- sentatioi is not absolutely incredible. Children who hare pulled their parents' watches to pieces it the hope of solving the mystery of their tickling will understand the frame of mind which nay have prompted the experiment. What precise point in anntomy Mr. Bush expiicted to settle ty his experiment one cannot, indeed, easily determine. If he wished to clear up any mysterycotmected with the osteolgy of the rhino- ceros,om can only regret that he did not experiment upon a living animal instead of a dead one, though it the same time one cannot but approve of the p udential considerations which actuated him in hs choice of a subject. His punishment -»:1(, no J"lr. IJIITO CV WPWN nuraeron-i ptrons who think that the rule "You are requested not to touch the specimens" is better hououred in the breach than in the observance.

If the 3stitnates of the probable capital require- ments 0: the company are even approximately trustworthy, the most pressing financial diffi- culties ol the undertaking may be looked upon as now surmounted, and Manchester will have its ship canal and will boast itself to be a W pert. But it is at a heavy prico that this advantage will be secured. The three mi) ions of money first advanced or promised by the Manchester Corporation were obtained by the compmy on the faith of estimates which have since proied to be incorrect. If the facts of the case had tieen known, the corporation would have itdopteda different course, unci if it bad agreed to advance the money would have taken more effective tteps to secure itself against prospective loss. The thing, however, was done somewlwt in the dark, ind the corporation having gone so far in giving financial help, now finds itself com- pelled to go further, and to back up its own previous mistake. The policy of allowing the original loan of three millions was <t good deal canvassed in Parliament when the corporation applied for leave to raise the money but the work of the canal had already made such progress, and the impossibility of its completion without Substantial help from outside was so clear, that the requisite permission was given. It it had been refused, tho undertaking would have had to be abandoned and every farthing of the outlay upon it would have boen lost. The outlook is now more hopeful. The company is in smooth water, and whether it finishes its work, as it expects to do, by the end of next year, or puts off the completion to some unnamed later date, its absolute failure is no longer to be feared.— Times. ova PRISON POPULATION. According to the latest returns available for comparison, the prison population of the country is considerably lower than that of most others, and is relatively only one-third as great as in Italy. This discrepancy may perhaps be accounted for by Dr. Loinbzoso's discovery that the skulls of Italian criminals have 10 per cent. loss than the ordinary capacity, though the explanation hardly accords with the fact that Dr. Bordier found the reverse to be the case in France, where the prison population in proportion to the total population is nearly twice as large as our own. But whether, and to what extent, we are superior to other races in the mutter of crime is of little moment in view of the evidence which the judicial statis- tics nfford that serious offences against the law' and the numbers of the class from which the offenders are drawn, are steadily and surely diminishing. The improvement has been going on with almost unbroken progress during the past twenty years, and is no doubt attributable to a variety of caust's. The excellent police system established by Sir Robert Peel, tlie increased facilities for prevention or detection of crime«!§airni8hed by rapid means of communication between centre and centre, the beneficent effects of a system of national educa- tion extending to the most remote village in the most distant county, and the gradual diminution of intemperance amongst all classes of the com- munity, have doubtless all contributed in some measure to a result which, whatever may have been its causes, is in every point of view satisfac- tory and full of hope for the future.-Morning Post.

SUPERSTITIOUS RAILWAYMAN. A Haunted Engine. "There are on nearly every railroad locomotives that are known as Jonahs," said Henry E. Archer, who has spent twenty years in -lie service of the Illinois Central, to a St. Louis Globe Democrat man. "Some years ago all engine on an Illinois rtlsd blew up, cutting the fireman's hllad off with a segment of boiler iron. The engine was re-built and made as good as new, but no engineer could be found to run it mere than one trip. It wss soon whispered about that it was haunted; that the headless fireman had an unplea- sant habit of appearing on the tender with pick and shovel and insisting on firing up. One night an engineer and his fireman dpserted the locomotive when out on a run, and the conductor attempted to bring the train in. He was not afraid of ghosts; not ho But he side-tracked at the first opportunity and waited until daylight before Completing the run. He told me that the ghost was no joke that every time the furnace door was thrown open the headless apparition entered the cab, bearing a shadowy scoop of coal. For a month the engine laid in the shop. Then an engineer, who was compelled either to take it. out or lose his place, mounted it. Before it had run a^dozen miles it went through a culvert, wrecked the train, and killed nine people. It was never rebuilt."

LOCAL SPORT. Hancock again to the Fore.-—Be>i One of the Fastest Amateur Sprinters in England.—The Cardiff Team to Meet Swansea,—Arthur GouJd has a Bad" Accident.—The Roath Harriers.—Glou- cester Make Special Preparations for the Newport Match.—The Cardiff Rangers Make an ExplanaHono Moat people will know that Hancock, whe, rendered such valuable, service to the United i Hospital en Monday, is a brother of the famous Invincible; F. E. Hancock, who brought Car- diff to such a high positien in the football world •a few years back. Apparently ability to play football is like wooden legs—it runs in the blood. A fact, however, that many who witnessed •Monday's match may not be aware of is that Bell, • Ihe hospitals wing tliree-quarter, ia one of the fastest men in England at the present day, as only a short time ago be ran second for the cbamptoa- ship. No wonder that my Swansea correspondent thought be required a lot of stopping when he once got under weigh. The only change that will take place in the "Cardiff team that meet Swansea oa Saturday next will be the absence of Bland from the pack, bis place being filled by W. Davies, whilst R. B. Sweet. Escott and Selwyn-Biggs will resume their old position behind the scrum. There's going to' be some fun on the St. Helen's Field 00 the last day of this very good week, and I would advise every one to go and see it. > I. Says a writer in a Newport contemporary *— Those who saw Arthur Gould go through the second half of the Newport-Penarth match with merely a slight limp, and in such a plucky and dashing manner, will be sorry to hear that the injury to his leg is much more serious than he or anyone else anticipated at the time. The sprain to the muscles of the left thigh has turned out so badly that medicalussistance has been requisitioned tlieorder being given to stay indoors and the dictum expressed that play will be impossible for close on a. month. But Arthur has such a vital tempera* ment that I hope to see him cantering about the green sward long before that period is over. It is a. great pity that he should be laid up just when he is feeling in even better trim than ever before. I hope his absence will stir the players to fully realise what is expected of them and not to neglect the slightest point that will tell in their favour. The credit of the club must be main- tained at any price." By the way, this will account for the inability of Mr. Gould to refeieA in the Cardiff match yesterday, but thai Bouchet was an efficient substitute everyone will admit. The Roath (Cardiff) Harriers held a most suc- cessful run from the Junction Hotel, Walnut Tree^ on Saturday last. Leaving there at 4.15, E. M. Griffiths laid trail over splendid country, passing Castle Coch, Rheubina, Greenmeadow, Tynycoed Farm, and the Heath, to the Roath Park, where near Fairoak Farm, ten novices lined up for II three-quarter mile race in for captain's and vice- captain's prizes, which was wou by T. H. Evans, who was a good first; J. Powell Jones was second, Russell and Syd Jones being third aud fourth. The fixtures for November are as follow:— Saturday, Nov. 5.-Paoer chase, from head- quarters; 3.30 p.m. Hares—Messrs. Cirr and Evans.

Keepings on Saturday last when piaying against Manuingh im.he being unfortunate enough to break his collatbooe. It wiU probably be some considerable time before he is again seen in the Hnlifax ranks. An Aberavon correspondent, writing anent my notes deprecating the parting of the two Neath halves in the forthcoming Western district tri-il match, says:— Dear Sir,— I read with no little amount of sur- prise in your issue of the Western Mail for Fri day last respecting the separation ol the Neatl' half-backs in the above trialwntch. I take it that the object in view of bavins a trial mat-bis not only to assist the committee in making t heir choice, but also to give an opportunity to the vark-us players to show up to such an advantage that might qualify them to be chosen for the Mast w. West match, and, further, for International honours. How, therefore, can it be expected that two halves, who Have never hid the opportunity of playing together, will play to any belter advan- tage than two who for ye.irs have been in the habit of playing with each other, aud, therefore, must know each other's play, as in the case of the two Neath halves? If the brothers James were separaied would they be any improvement on their former play ? I tentureto think that tha faying, "United we stand, divided we fall," would prove true in this case. It is to be hoped, however, that tho match committee will re-consider their rash decision and play the Neath htives, either for the Probables or Possibles (most certainly for the former, in my opinion), and I should prognosticate, without hesitation, that their reputation will even surpass that which they so deservedly attained at Man- chester in the county match.—Thanking you in anticipation, I am, &c^ ABBKAVONITK. The Gloucester Selection Committee chose the team to play against Newport on Thursday evening, and twenty men are now in strict train- ing for the big match to be played on the Marsh on the 5th of November. The back division will consist of Gougfe, back; Bagwell, Jackson, Taylor, and James, three-quarters; and George and Bali halves; but it. is in the pack that the difficulty is experienced, and notice will be taken of the way the men chosen acquit themselves during training before the final eight are selected- There is much emulation among the men for a position in the team, and every man may be depended on to do his level best to secure a place in what promises to be the strongest team yet turned out for the Westerners. --r- Dear Sir,—In reply to" Welsh Athlete's note, ia this morning's Western Mail, re Rangers v.grange town match, on Saturday last, I think, in justice to the Rangers' Club (who have been, I think, lather severely dealt with by the so-called football cor- respondents), to offer a Httle explanation on the matter. In the first place, the referee was a mem< ber of the Canton Football Club, and selected bj the Grargetown plajers, and our club have nlwayi abided by the decision of referees, whoever they might be. As the teams playing ut the Sophia Gardens field have not the same privilege of play- ing in a roped enclosure as our premier clubs, there is no possible chance of keeping the specta- tors off the field of play, and I was nnt aware that urangetown had been 80 fortunate as to l.av8 any. thing different to ourselves, as I have seen the spectators a dozen or more yards on the ground, I don't know why they should object to the try that the rangers scored, which was fully six yaniu inside of the touch line, and was allowed by the referee, as the obstruction, if any, Was caused by the followers of their team. Perhups the re..(;On of their wrath is caused by too much betting, which, I am sorry to say, is very prevalent, amongst local teams, and my advice to the Grange team is to imitate our premier teams, and takcTa defeat hke gentlemen, and not reckon theii matches won before they are played, "!1, by the report of the match in Monday's issue, your reporter plainly asserts that the rangers were till better team. By inserting these few remarks YOt will greatly encourage a team which has risen tin aided to one of the foremost of local clubs, atx which has been the means of supplying out premier teams with a fair share of their men.—i am, &c., D.
