.THE PRINCE OF B ALKISTAN.
THE PRINCE OF B ALKISTAN. K STORY OF THE ATTEMPTS ON THE LIFE OF A PRINCE. By Mr. ALLEN UPWARD, CHAPTER VIII (Continued). After it short delay, due to the &#oessity far the Chief to descend, and forage for him- self ia the elisor pal kitchens f(.1' what he wanted, the welcome light gleamed upoa Verriter from below, and the Chief crept up, bearing a lighted candle in one hand!. Ver- liter eagerly snatched anothei from him, lit it at the first, and led) the way into the centre of the mysterious room. The hidden chamber appeared) to be con- tracted immediately under the roof of the palace, and ovej the apartment which came above the prelate's bedroom. It was more than fifteen paces in one direction by about twelve in the other, but the ceiling was DO- vhere higher than a tall man's head, and at one side it sloped down to within a couple of feet ->f the flooring. This was of plain planking, the room being absolutely devoid Df oanameirtal furniture of any kind. What it did contain, however, was. enough to occupy the keenest attention of th; pa: ( who had penetrated to its recesses. They looked round for the first moment almost with awe. It seemed as if this hid- ing-place must have been constructed/ when the edifice itself was put up, and might have contained the secrets of successive occupiers of the see of Sufarest. In the dark days of Poitariari rule, and through the troubles of rebellion and foreiga war, who could say to what purposes this dark alcove might not have beM turnea? Thfse thoughts passed rapidly through their minds as tliey gazed around. The trap door through which t'hey bad ascended was situated in one corner of the room. Save just in its vicinity the entire length of the four walls was lined with sacks, standing as high as the roof permitted, while He the middle of the room rose an imposing object, concealed under a heavy black pall, but assuming beneath the folds of this cover- ing the unmistakable outlines of a human ft»rm Naturally their first impulse was to dis- wrer what was hidden beneath the cloth. Each seized a corner, and lifted it back, dis- closing ? sight which caused them both a shock, amounting in the case of the Balkiard to positive consternation. It was as if they beheld Stefan himself, miraculously escaped from his imprisonment, and lying asleep or ill death at their feet A moment,s scrutiny enabled Verriter to See that what they were looking at was a waxen image, wrought to a marvellous like- ness of the living man, and quite sufficient to deceive those best- acquainted with the Metropolitan's features in the obscurity of the climber. Whether this extraprdinarv object had been placed there with the view i of terrifying any intruder who should suc- ceed! in finding his way in, or whether it was there merely for purposes of concealment, rl had been designed to serve other objects being placed in the original'? bed while was occupied elsewhere, th€ detective and his companion had no means of ascertaining. They took ih<; precaution of searching the figure, which was only formed of wax so far as tha head, bust, and hands were concerned, the remainder being of hollow india-rubber. the remainder being of hollow india-rubber. But they found nothing, and the white robe in which it was wrapped was examined equally without result. It was now time to deal with the sacks I which iiy round the walls. Here a fresh I difficulty met them. Every sack was tied closely 8Jt the mouth, and sealed by the Bishop's signet. To break open the racks I would therefore be to warn him of their 1 proceedings, a contingency which Verriter knew that Prince Rodolph was particularly MHdoua to avoid. It was therefore necessary before gioing further to obtain the means of •BBEterfeiting the seal. They held a brief discussion, and came to the conclusion of abandoning the search for | the moment, till further preparations could j be made. The tallow of the candles fur- | nisbed an easy means of obtaining an im- pression of the seals, and this secured they descended the ladder together, emerged into the oratory, and restored the altar to its former position. Then, replacing the articles I of religious use, they came away from the room and from the palace. At the gate they renewed the injunction to the sentinel to allow no one to pass. The I Chief of Police thei hastened to a, gold- smith's to obtain the required signet, whil 3 Verriter, who now felt confident that some t, important documents would be unearthed, ? sought out a. photographer's, and procured ¡ the necessary apparatus for enabling him to mean undeniable copies of papers which fke did not wish to carry away. The object f m his view, as in that of his employer's, was to secure the weapons which they de- j air&d against their enemy, without, putting him on his guard by allowing him to know of their success. The fear that daylight might be gone be- fore he was in a position to use the camera induced the detective to provide himself with the mean? of dispensing with the assistance of the sun. A long experience- of difficult and delicate investigations, some of them net inferior in gravity to this, had left his mind well stored with every device ror overcoming obstacles such as the present. He was aware that likenesses had been obtained of the in- teriors of Egyptian tombs and monuments by means of what is called the magnesian 1 light. A preparation containing magnesium and! chlorate of potash is used, the required quantity being ignited after the sensitised plate has been put into position and exposed. The compound flares up for a couple of seconds, affording a light only inferior to the Øu.n:8 in brilliancy; the plate, which was previously surrounded in darkness, instantly records the illuminated objects within range, and! retains the image after the light has expired. From the nega- tive thus obtained, prints can be taken in the ordinary way. i. Well acquainted with this process, Ver- riter provided himself with the necessary •materials, and hastened back to the palace. Here he was met by the impatient Chief, whe had given orders for the instant exe- cration of the duplicate seal, directing it to be sent after him as soon as completed. It need not be added that the goldsmith had received instructions of the most stringent ■character as to the preservation of secrecy in conrection with his task. ¡ Re-entering the palace, they made the entrance door fast with lock? and bolts, and Dnimed up to the siecret chamber. This time they brought a plentiful supply of candles, and had the attic thoroughly illumi- nated. With almost feverish excitement they laid hands upon the first of the fortv ror fifty sacks, and) dragged) it into the middle of the floor. j As they did so the t.wo men looked up at j«ach other with a simultaneous expression of f strpr se. T'>e sac*v was extremely hea rv, land as they moved it it gave forth a metallic f sound. The suspicions roused in their minds '< were quickly proved correct as Verriter boldTy broke off the seal, and tearing1 open the mouth of the sack disclosed a shining mass of gold coin* to view. "So this is what the old fox keeps un iherehe exriaimed. "Jnst imagine hoard- ing up monev like this instead of deposit- ing it in Pi bank and making a handsome income from it." "Ah, but yon must remember our banks a.re not quite so safe as yours," replied the Balkiard. "Besides, people here have been so aocustoined to live under a erovemment that seized people's wealth at its pleasure that tbev don't ca.re to have it known hov," much they possess. Xo doubt this is some secret fund—" Here the Tslishma.n interrupt0/! him. "By George, von're hit it' This money has come from Tartarr. Let- us see if it is theiir coina-ae." 'B1it an inspection that the of more than none eountrv vras; T'epvesented in [ t*ie hoar'T, the ^reat bulk heinr from th-? PoTtarw mint. Kvidentlv if this strpiJr had come from the quarter suflrcested br th* detective the senders ofiit !km$twen cunning enough to disenise the fact. Considering it useless to dive further into the sack's contents, Verriter oropos^d ths.t they should restore it to its place. But the Chief of Police, seemed to have other views. He glanced doubtfully at his compaii'Lon's face, and then observed in a whisper— al- though no human being could have heard him if he had chosen to shoi:+— i "It a. pity that no me shoiiV! have! j «i*y benefit this. I think that those j who have found! the treasure are entitled to —eh?" and he slowly closed one eytj. But the Islis.hma.n, whether because hs was mora righteous, or merely more rich, than hia tempter, sternly shook his head, and turned away from the booty. This did r.ot prevent the Balkiard from quietly filling his pockets at odd moments when he thought he was unobserved. And the foreigner was wise etough not to protest actively against what he rightly judged to 00 a custom of the country, in which its inhabitants would see little to reprehend. The next sack was then opened, and ap- peared full to the bitm of silver. The third sack contained gold again, and after that came three more silver ones. Altogether the room contained no less than eleven sacks of gold and three times as many of silver. It was impossible to suppose* that the whole of this vast mass of coin had been forthcoming from the exchequer of Tartary. The Islish detective concluded that the hoard must be the accumulated: wealth of the Erslkiar.1 Church, scraped together during centuries, and concealed from the avaricious eyes of the grasping Portarians. Tlie majority of the coins being inscribed with Portarian charac- ters, totally unlike any with which he was acquainted, the detective could form no esti- mate of their various ages. At length the seal? were all broken, and the contents of every sack laid bare. Then, the excitement of the strange find being abated, the explorers began to recollect that their original search was for papers, and that not a line had been discovered. "There is no help for it," said Verriter, who was the first to wake up to the remem- brance of his mission; "we must empty each of these sacb* in turn, and see if there is anything at the hottom." "Is that necessary? Think of the labour of moving this immense quantity of metal," remonstrated the Chief. "No matter. I must be in a position to say that I have exhausted every means of dis- covery, before I go back and tell his High- less that there is nothing to be found." The other had to submit, and between them they commenced their arduous task. The first sack was laid flat upon the floor, aDd its contents scooped: and pushed and finally Shaken out on to the planks, forming a precious shining heap of not less than twenty thousand pieces of £ old. All this was then laboriously put back, and the sack returned to its upright position. Then its neighbour was similarly treated, and a pile of silver rose upon the floor. But when they got close to the bottom of this sack a new surprise awaited them, in the shape of a hard lump which refused) to be shaken out. A glow of expectation lit the faces of the two as they quickly stripped back the sack- ing, and came upon a stout leather bag, which had lair completely hidden beneath the rest of the sack's contents. The bag was sealed, like the sacks had been, but they snatched it open in an iu- stant. They were fairly astonished1 by the sight which met their eyes. The bag was full of a conglomeration of the most valuable gems. Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeraids, some of them of unusual bigness, were mingled with a quantity of pearls, some- what discoloured with age and neglect, and large numbers of stones such as topazes and amethysts, which have now become nearly valueless. "Well." exclaimed Verriter, "I don't won- der at the pains our friend Stefan takes to hide all this. Why even an American rail- way director might like to cany off this little bag. He i? a smart man, too, to hide it under the silver, where a robber would be less likely to come at it. I have made a rule nevei to enrich myself at the expense of professional rectitude, but I can't resist taking just a souvenir from this collection. And he calmly selected an antique cameo set with brilliants, and placed it in his pocket. The cameo was in the shape of a brooch or large stud, used by the BaJkiard bishops as part of their ecclesiastical uniform, and worn at the reck. This sacrilege was viewed with secret in- dignation by the Chief of Police, but the contents of his pockets forbade any strong remonstrance, and he merely remarked— "WeU, in our country we look upon ainy money that may come into our hands as a sort of legitimate perquisite, but I confess that I should not venture to appropriate an article belonging to the Church-" Rat-tat-tat-a-tat-ta t t ta-tat, tat, tat, TAT! CHAPTER IX. THE KHAN OF TARTARY. The two men, standing alone beside a mass of anoient treasure, in 8 secret attic lit only by the flame? of a few candles, started as the sound of loud knocking was borne upon the ears, and re-called them to the fact that they were in the midst of a busy capital, in the nineteenth century, with the flood of He rushing all around them. Each equally afraid to trust the cthe.' alone in the neighbourhood of so much wealth, they came down from the chamber together, and went in company to open the. outer door. Two persons were waiting on the steps of the pailace, under the guard of the sentry. The first was the goldsmith, who had come in person to discharge his commission, and who put a small box, containing the counter- feit seal, in the hands of the Chief of Police. Tlie other was a monk whose dresj! proclaimed him to belong to the monastery of St. George. in which Monsignor Stefan was at that moment confined. He bowed respectfully to the head of the Balkiard police, whom he appeared to recognise, and then waited till the jeweller had departed. "What is it that you want?" the Chief then asked him. "Can I have a word with you in private?" said the monk, eastinsr a suspicious look at the Islish detective. Mr. Verriter. it should be mentioned, had disencumbered himself of his monk's dress while engaged in his ex- plorations upstairs, and had neglected to resume -'t. He therefore appeared in his second shell, that is to say, in the jacket of an Eastrian police officer. He was quick to answer the monk's request. "The Qhief of Police and I am jointly responsible hiere," he midi, with decision "and whatever you have to say must be sa.; çJi to both." 'f'h1" monk was <Ji-concerted for an instant. But he quickly rallied, and went on: "It does not matter. Onlv as my mission is a purely religious one I thought it better to communicate it to a member of the faith. I come from our revered Metropolitan, at present suffering imprisonment. His Grace is anxious to enjoy the oonsolafr'ons of religion, and as the roughness with which he wax removed did not permit him to take aw?v his sacramental vessels he has sent me to fetch the chalice and ciborium on his private altar." The detective listened with deepening at- tention to this speech, and frowred to him- self, as was his habit when anvthin? puzzled him. Not for a moment did he put faiith in the story of Stefan's relitr-'ous cravines. For what purpose, then, could he require these articles? Se«in<? that he hesitated, and thit th* Chief maintained a purely neutral attitude, th" monk added: "If you s».re in anv difficulty as to what articles I refer to. I may sav that I know the way to his oratory, and can find them for mvself. T know that he would prefer that they should not be touched by secular hands." Tli is piece of diplomacv overshot the mark. If V erriter had suspec+ed before, he now felt certain that some important object was roncea.Ied beneath th?« arparentlv trivial request. He had alreadv examined the two vessels in oue«tion without, finding anvthinf. He now dete'Tnined to make a second and more thorough scrutiny. Ba.psshmff the frown from his brow he smiled pleasantIv at the. monk, and replied— "Our -*n«trurations ar° to p'Vitv no one to enter this building, and to allow no+hin" to be removed from it. But no doubt ♦hes" orders were not intended to nortl^* to a triffinsr matter of this kind. especr'a.lJv as it. is an affm'r of relitrion. Vou h»d better to M. Kirkchulov, and he will no doubt order the vessels to be eiven up to vou." The messer.gei did not take kindly to this susreestion. "Surely that i? rn.ikjm? an unnecessary fu«R. he uj'Qred. 'You will run no risk bv letting me have these vessels, and T will not; c.vm«: in«id? myself, if that is forbidden." Then, dropping his voice, he added—"His iiTicf- will consider you.' granting his re- quest a vejy srrait favour and he ha-' en- trusted me with a substantial mark of his gratitude." To the. astoxiishmens of the Chief his com- rade di<#. not exhibit any righteous indigna- tion this time. On the contrary, he allowed a slv expression to creep over his features. "Well," he said, "I suppose we must see if we can't find them. But suspicion will be roused if you are seen waiting here. Go for i short walk, and return in half an hour." "That is right," TH"—*tha monk. "You ■hall hav« the Bishop's present the moment I rocedve the vessels." And he turned and glided away. As soon as they had fastened the door after him the Cliief began- "What do you——" The other cut him short. "It is all right," he said; "I wished to give him. the impression that we were friendly to Stefan, and I will be responsible for the approval of his Highness. Now you go up and re-seal all the sacks, while I put up these things in a parcel." Overjoyed at this order, which he regarded as practically a, free permission to help him- self, the Chief sped upstairs, without stop- ping to inquire the reason for this sudden change in the detective's plans. Left to himself, Verriter at once proceeded to the oratory, where he picked up the ciborium and opened it. Their was nothing inside except the wafer already referred to. which he was careful not to injure. Ha tapped the bottom with hi& fingers, and also the lid. Then he placed the lower part in a level position, and measured it5 reptll from ortsid". Applying this measurement to the inside his suspicious of a false bottom were removed. But the same process when applied to the cover produced a di$<*r-rnt result, tOO outward height being one and a half inches, while inside it was less than one. A close scrutiny next revealed that the lid was bordered all round the edge by a fine ornamental beading, such as might serve to conceal a line of division. Catching hold of the heading with the finger nails of one hand, the detective grasped a species of but- ton on the top with the finger a.nd thumb of the other, and! sought to turn it round in the expectation of discovering a screw- action. But at the first wrench the thing ca-me apart in his hands. The outer lid simply fitted down on the inner one, like the top of a tin mustard-box. As he drew them asunder twc thin pieces of paper flut- tered to the ground. "By GodL Bishop. I have you now!" muttered the gratified detective, as he stooped and seized the papers. Their ceutent- realised his wildest antici- pations. One was a small unmounted photograph of Simski, the assassin, on the back of which were the follo 'wing words, in French— "To the friends of the Khan in Balkistan: Receive the subject. Simski Simskivitch, and assist him in all his enterprises. He is religious, and can be trusted. "1. TATAROFF." The other document was not Ie,s im- portant, from a political point of view. It consisted of an autograph letter, in Tartar, from the Khan himself, and ran as follows: "To our trusty friend and beloved brother in the faith of the Holy Trinity, Stefan, Bishop of Sufarest, and Metropolian of Balkistan: "We desire to convey to you our hearty thanks for you; exertions on our behalf, and to assure you that as soon as the politi cal affairs of Balkistan permit us to effect the happy union of the Churches, we shall take the first opportunity of confiding to you the spiritual government of our empire. "NICHOLAS III." Hardly giving himself time to reflect on the magnitude of his discovery, the detective t hurriedly put together his photographic ap- paratus. and, as it was now quite dark, pre- pared the magnesian light. He placed each writing in front by turns, ignited the chemi- cals. and had the satisfaction of securing a capital negative in each case. He then re- versed the note signed by Tataroff, and re- photographed the assassin's countenance This done he replaced the two documents with hands that actually shook with ex- citement, put the cover together again, re- placed it on the ciborium, and was in the act of making it and the cup into a parcel WlJieI. he heard the monk's knock at the door. He ran down; and put the package into the messenger's hands. As he did so a thrill of relief passed over the monk, who at once thruist a note, worth JB100 English money, into his hand, and rushed away at full speed. Verriter ckuckled quietly as he watched his retreating figure. "Fool!" lie muttered to himself, "but for your mad attempt to save your secret it would be undiscovered at this hour." He hastened back to the scene of opera- tions and carefully concealed his precious negatives about his person, reserving the task of printing from them to a more con- venient opportunity. He had just time to clear up the last trace of his proceedings before the Chief of Police emerged from the foot of the ladder. having sealed up the last sack, and restored everything to its place overhead.

A PUBLIC FOUNTAIN.
A PUBLIC FOUNTAIN. BfR. ALFRED THOMAS'S GIFT TO PONTYPRIDD. The design of the public fountain to be erected in Penuel-square, Pontypridd, at the cost of Mr. Alfred Thomas, M.P., is, as will be perceived from our sketch herewith, of a bold Early character, gilted in with ancient British oniament, such as may be found at Llantwit, Margiam, Llandough, and several places in the county. The structure will stand 16ft. high to the top of the lamp, and the base covers an area of 10ft. in diameter. The base and steps will be of local stone, and the upper portion of Portland. The lamp and dragon on the top will be in bronze. The water jets will also be of bronze, being a con- ventional form of the leek. The four faces of the structure will vary in ornament. The water will be carried off from the stone roof by means of goats' heads at each angle. The mottoes out on its bowls are "Duw a digon," "Ei ddwfr fydd sicr," "Dawn Duw," &c. The whole conception of tlj £ design is thoroughly Welsh in character, and shows much thought on the part of1 tlie architect, Mr. C. B. Fowler, of 27, High-street, Cardiff. The cost will be about JB250.

Gas Explosion at Pontypool. A startling incident occurred at Pontypool Town-hall on Thursday evening. The care- taker, noticing an escape of gas, proceeded to ascertain the cause, and for that purpose took a light under the platform, when an a'arming explosion tookplace. The roof was damaged, and also the roofs of the entrance hall, reading- room, and comntittee-room below. No one was hurt. A performance proposed to be.given in the.hall had to be postponed.

The Welsh Church,
The Welsh Church, CARRYING ON THE FIGHT ON THE BILL. Mr. S. T. Evans Leads the Attack with Able Special Pleading, and Mr. Matthews Replies. l FROM OUB SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. I HOUSE OF COMMONS, Friday. In the pale grey light of day rejected through the stained glass windows of the Gothic pile was the debate on the Welsh Bill resumed. Interest had waned conside- rably since the preceding evening, and it was not to be expected that any large number of members would put in an appearance. The various galleries were fairly full, but when Sir Richard Temple rose to resume his interrupted speech barely a score of repre- sentatives could be observed. Sir Richard was, however, not disturbed by this fact. He has faced the Bengal tiger with equani- mity, and, though an empty house has a depressing effect, it does not hold such terrors as the Indian jungle. Personally, he is the "mildest-mannered man" who ever scuttled ship or cut a throat," but to listen to him for a period would create the impression that he was quite a tire-eater—a mistake entirely, as the bevies of ladies whom he daily pilots round the lobbies would be only too pleased to testify. He commenced by telling the Home Secretary, who, by the way, was far away,, that he was in the habit of giving hard knocks. He must not be surprised :f lie got knocked in return. And. with this intention, lie began to label the Bill "monstrously illo- gical," "unreasonable," and "unrighteous," and glared indignantly at the Welsh mem- bers who dared to jeer at his earnest con- victions. Mr. S. T. Eva-us was quite joyous when he rose just after. "Sam" is nothing Y lot a fighter, and, standing on the floor of the House, he commenced an attack on Sir Richard which reused that gentleman to move uneasily. Like the Home Secretary, the member for Mid-Glamorgan has a he faculty for getting up a case, and, though he delivered it with so much correctness and ability that he kept a House interested for over an hour, the impression was left that he had been speaking from a well-prepared brief, and with no real zeal for the objects which the Bill proposes. The Welsh mem- bers present were simply delighted at the facts and figures which Mr. Evans had accu- mulated. They cheered frequently, and gave him quite an ovation when he sat down. He certainly deserved it at their hands, for vp to that time no Welsh member had spoken so ably or brilliantly on their behalf. One youthful enthusiast in the gallery, at the close of the member for Mid-Glamorgan's affecting peroration, ingenuously clapped his hands. He was promptly ejected, and will, no doubt, be now one of Mr. Evans's most bitter opponents. The big guns of the day were disappoint- ing. Ex-Home Secretary Matthews was earnest and emphatic, but indistinct, and Sir George Trevelyan was prosy and preachy. The best that can be said of the Secretarv for Scotland's effort was that it laid no claim to eloquence. The Welsh members, who fled at the hammer-like logic of the Conservative member for East Birmingham, returned on flfc rising of Sir George, but, willing though they were, they could not get up much enthusiasm for him. Whether it was his prosiness or his painfully ludicrous attempts at Welsh pronunciation it is difficult to say, but it was in a rapidly- thiinniing House that he brought his speech to a close. Mr. J. G. Talbot, who started with the laudable object of not wearying the House, soon fell away from grace, and, like his two predecessors, was rewarded with an ac- companiment of yawns and a punctuation of coughs. With but few exceptions the Church party, up to the present, have fallen into the sad mistake of dealing with this question with bated breath and lowering voice. They might, for all statements to the contrary, be pronouncing the Church's requiem. It is to be hoped that next week, when the debate is resumed, they will alter their tone. Ministerialists have provided them with fine material for defence, and they should be able to use it spiritedly and successfully. Sir George Osborne Morgan's speech calls for little comment. It was a wonderful soporific.
CARDIFF COLLEGE.
CARDIFF COLLEGE. LIST OF SELECTED CANDIDATES FOR THE BEGISTBARSHIP. A meeting of the council of the University College, Cardiff, was held on Friday to consider applications for the registrarship vacated by Mr. Ivor James. A very large number of can- didates, probably numbering some hundreds, had applied for the poet, and out of these the council selected the followingColonel Ingram, Newport; Mr. Charles Owen, Bristol Mr. Gwyn Morris, Ciardiff; Mr. Daniel Rees, Manchester; Mr. Beriah G. Evans, Cardiff; the Rev. J. A. Jenkins, Cardiff; Mr. J. J. Jackson, inspector of schools; and Professor Selby, University College, Cardiff. Mr. Gwyn Morris is a former student at the Cardiff Col- lege, and was, in fact, the first entered on the roll. Mr. Charles Owen is another old student; Mr. Daniel Rees made a good show in the running for the registrarship of the Welsh University, to which Mr. Ivor James has been appointed; Mr. Benah Evans is the organiser of the Cymru Fydd League; while the Rev. J. A. Jenkins is the pastor of Richmond-road Congregational Church, Cardiff; and Professor Selby is a member of the professorial staff of the Caidiff College. The meeting at which the final selection will be made is fixed for next Friday.

In reply to a deputation from the County Councils of Gloucestershire, Berkshire, and \v iitf.li ire asking the Board of Trade to support a Bill vesting in public trust the Thames and Severn Canal, in order that traffic upon it may be developed and high railway rates avoided, Sir Courtenay Boyle, on behalf of the Board of Trade, promised to do everything possible to assist in tho resuscitation of this waterway, and to overcome the objections of the Local Government Board.
Swansea Chamber of Commerce.
Swansea Chamber of Commerce. The monthly meeting of the Swansea Cham- ber of Commerce was held on Friday, Mr. J. R. Leaver presiding.—Gratification was expressed at the opening of the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway, and the hope expressed that it Would prove of great advantage to the community. With respect to a petition forwarded by the Mercantile Marine Service condemning the new Board of Trade regulations respecting the screening of ships' side lights at sea, a resolu- tion was passed that it would be highly in- judicious, and productive of serious danger to life and property at sea, to enforoe the regula- tion until the question had been again fully and impartially discussed.

Cardiff's Representation
Cardiff's Representation THE RECENT ELECTION OF THE THOUSAND. Ten of the Biff-Raff Struck Off the List of Representatives in the Splott Ward. Quite a flurry has been paused this week a.mongst Liberals of the Splott Ward, Cardiff, by the summoning of a. meeting of the Ward Liberal Association for the "election of mem- bers on the Thousand." Splott Ward Liberals at a general meeting assembled had already, some time ago, contributed their quota to the heterogenous collection of items yclept the Thousand, and the question naturally arose, why should the ward associa- tion be asked to do w'hat the general body of Radicals already done? Amongst the knowing ones the tip went round that the 90 odd gentlemen selected by the general meeting included individuals who were not acceptable to the wire-pullers of the party, and this suggestion, contrary as it is to all the ideals of a free democracy, appears to have "hit the blot" completely. The meeting of the associa- tion. was held at the Splott Board School on Friday evening, when there-was a fair atten- dance. The chairman, Mr. William Roberts, was supported by Councillors. Shackell and Comley, and Mr. G. H. Davies, hon. secretary. The Chairman commenced the pro- ceedings by calling upon the secretary to read the minutes of the last meeting of the ward Liberals, but before Mr. G. H. Davies could respond Mr. A. H. Williams rose, and, ad- dressing the chairman, said he would) like to know how it was that several of those selected on the Thousand had not received circulars inviting their attendance at the recently-held meeting of the Thousand. Two other gentlemen immediately repeated the question, and named, amongst others, Mr. W. H. Johnsosn, as one who had not received intimation of the meeting. The Chairman, naturally, seemed considerably taken aback at this unexpected attack, but, pulling himself together, he boldly acknowledged that Mr. Johnson, whom he deemed "a Conservative in disguise," was obnoxious to the Radicil leaders. Mr. G. H. Davies (hon. sec), evi- dently thinking that his chairman was, to use a vulgar, but none the less appropriate, phrase, "giving the game away," told the meeting that the omission must have been a mistake on the part of Mr. Hall. "Then," said Councillor Comley, "I want to know "what you mean by telling me that Mr. Hall had struck off ten of the names of those elected upon the Thousand?" This was a poser, and the secretary naturally evinced a desire to fence the question, but repeated calls for an explanation finally obliged him to admit that Councillor Comley was cor- rect, and that he had told him that Mr. Hall had struck off ten of the names sub- mitted to him, but only because they had exceeded the number 63, tQ which numbvr the ward was limited. Of course, this ex- planation was not sufficient to silence the malcontents, many of whom expressed the opinion that Mr. Hall had greatly exceeded hi^rights in so acting, and that, if cue num- ber had been exceeded, he (Mr. Hall) ought to have referred the matter back to the ward. The Chairman, with the utmost sang-froid, stopped the discussion by declaring that the election of representatives on the Thousand had not been satisfactory. Everybody had nominated anybody, with the result that, to use the chairman's own words, "a lot of riff- raff" had been elected. He proposed that the election be performed de novo. But Mr. Roberts soon found he was going a kittle too far, for he was reminded in very forcible language by several members of the audience that, even if that meeting desired to act in that way, they had no.power to do as he proposed, and, besides, they did not wish to so act. The election (they contended) had been made by s general meeting rf the Liberals of the ward, and the association had no right to alter tht-ir decision. The chairman, beaten at every point, retired from the attack, and thus the pretty little plot of the wire-pullers at head- quarters was frustrated. The meeting, having decided that action such as was proposed was beyond their province, went further, and rejected another proposal by Mr. R. N. Hall, to the effect that they should elect a paid local secretary, and then forthwith dissolved.

IGathered from Gwalia I *
Gathered from Gwalia NOTES AND NEWS OF THE PRINCIPALITY. A Column of Gossip of Persons and Places of Interest and Instruction. The Rev. J. R. Buckley, B.D., has been appointed rural dean of the Llandaff Upper Deanery (South-Western Division). The Rev. John Francis Rees, vicar of Aber- tillery, has been appointed rector of Llangyn- hafal—patron, the Bishop of Llandaff. The House of Commons is being inundated with crowds of unfamiliar Cymric place-names ia. petitions against the Disestablishent Bill. The Royal Commission on Agricultural De- pression have deferred decision respecting the re-opening before that Commission of questions affccting land tenure in Wales. Principal Herber Evans, who, owing to the state of his health, has had to cancel several engagements, is now much better, and able to perform his professional duties. Among the occupants of the Distinguished Strangers' Gallery while Mr. Asquith was moving the second reading of the Welsh Church Bill on Thursday was Dr. PercivaJ, the new Bishop of Hereford. "Well," said a skipper at one of the Port Talbot hotels on Thursday, after swallowing the contents of his glass, "the bottle is empty. You see, it does not take me long to make a bottle of whisky look silly." "You are right," returned a commercial, "and it will not take the whisky long to return the compli- ment." In commemoration of the Rev. Father P. P. Smythe's silver jubilee in the priesthood, his friends have had a bell over half a ton in weight (with tongue and fittings, 14cwt.) cast for St. Mary's Catholic Church, Carmarthen, by the Messrs. Carr, Smethwick, whose family have been in the bell-founding trade since 1446. Bishop Hedley will officiate at the blessing of the new bell on Easter Thursday. A young man from Pembrokeshire had a job in Briton Ferry attending masons. He wanted a job for his brother, and wrote him as follows:—"Dear Jack come up to Briton Ferry at once don't stop for this letter a splendid job you have only to carry bricks and mortar up the ladder all day the other men do the work your brother Dai eighteen bob a week when you work." A petition against Disestablishment has (says the "Welshman") been sent up from Carmar- then during the past few days, with nearly 3,000 signatures attached. One old gentleman of 92, who was formerly shortsighted, but is now able to read the smallest print, signed it without using glasses, although his brother, who is a stripling of only 84, had to resort to the use of spectacles when appending his name to the document. The Whitchuroh Parish Council is dqing well. Several footpaths have; been improved, old bridges are about to be repaired, and next week a proposal—the adoption of the Free Libraries Act—to elevate the young minds of the villagers, will be considered. Decisive action to confine the present burial ground to ratepayers, and not allow the same to be used by outsiders from all parts of the globe, would be eminently desirable. The late lord of Margam had an extra- ordinary memory. Said he' one day to the late Mr. W. P. Marendaz, "How are you related^ to the old Marendaz that I used to know?" 'Grandson," was the reply. "I thought so." added Mr. Tttinot, "for you are very much like him. It was to an old tenant at Port laibot that the late father of the House of Commons once remarked that he "never forgot anything." i( The Welah wc*d for Disestablishment (is "Dadsefydliad," which, a« everyone who is acquainted with the force of Welsh oretixes must acknowledge, erroneously expresses the meaning of the English term. The "di," or "dis," in the English word suggests the idea of separation, whereas "dad in the quasi-Welsh equivalent, would lead one to suppose that there existed a fact or all event in law csilled an "establishment," and it was new going to be reversed. The Celt and the Gael are found more widely scattered than those of any other nation. It is stated that Scotsmen have turned up as Egyptian authorities and as dispensers of jus- tice in Turkey. Similarly, Wales, in all parts of the globe, have come to the front, and the latest discovery made from old documents is that the first Governor of Pennsylvania was a Welshman, one Thomas Lloyd, who came from some little holding named Dolobran, near Meifod, in Montgomeryshire. Points of deta-il on which Welsh Radicals object to the Disestablishment Bill, namely, the immediate operation of disendowment, the use of cathedrals, and the exemption of lay impro- prietors, will be considered at the National Con- vention to be held at Aberystwith, under the presidency of Sir George Osborne Morgan, during the Easter holidays, when the party may also be expected to indicate whether the money taken from the Church ought to be de- voted to local purposes, as Ministers suggest, or to national objects, as some Liberals would prefer. It is a common habit in Wales for working men to be better known by their nick-names than their proper names, and tlie same habit has long circulated even in the higher circles. When Lord Justice James was at the Bar, and Jameses were numerous, he was known as "Fat James," to distinguish him from the rest. His knowledge of ecclesiastical law was re- ported to have been greater than even that of Lord Penzance. The "Liverpool Mercury" once described him as a Welshman by descent, a Scotsman by education, and an Englishman by long residence. Edmund Morgan died in North Wales in 1817 at the age of 113 years of age, as duly certified. When he was over 111 years of age our old contemporary, "The Cambrian," devoted a lengthy notice to him, in which the following occurred:—"He never lost a tooth; can crack nuts, and eat the harvest Oread in the house. ills hearing is perfect, and his sight equallv so. Can read small print without spectacles, and walks to church, three miles distant, every Sunday. Stands foft. high, is very erect vaiks well without a stick, and when he likes can fuddle more ale, glass for glass, than his t'.vo young sons, who are not muot above 80!" "he greatest master of the cy.nghaneddiort— or, at least, one of the greatest masters—was "Dewi Wvn o Eifion." When he was only nine) ears old lie had mastered all the angles and comers and literal enigmas of Dafvdd ap Ednnvnd. Being annoyed cne day when in school at Pwllheli 1 y a young Carnarvon yokel of the niame of Richard Morris, "Dewi"—who was then jm-t turned ten—composed the follow- ing tuchangerdd: — Die Morus fradus ddi-fri—hen ohwanen Yn chwennych drygioni; Y gwar cam a'r garrau ci, Y grigwd fe haeddai'i grogi. Morris was demolished, and it is supposed went and drowned himself. Bishops in the old days saw strange sights and endured hardships in their visitations. "Thos. Bangor" writes in 1739 giving a graphic picture of a trip in Merionethshire. "I set out on my journey," he writes, "with my chancellor, my chaplain, friends, and ser- vants. and in a wild country, morass and moun- tain. dined out of my own wallet. We had our music however a harper drew near, a man and woman stood near him singing wildly, a little child came and played with the bottom of the harp. a woman in a silk night-cap, a boy with crutches, a girl carding wool in the chimney and rockinsr a cradle with naked feet, made up a sketch fit for Hogarth." And the good bishop with his surroundings had, he states, a sharper appetite than his knife. Dr. Dale (says the "Christian Common- wealth") on several occasions gave proofs of the sympathetic interest which he took in the affairs of his Welsh neighbours; he always showed great admiration of the Welsh charac- ter, and took much interest in the' religious life of the Principality. It was rumoured that Dr. Dale had acquired a competent know- led ere of the Welsh language, but this he denied, with the characteristic comment that "a very little time spent in the examination of a Welsh grammar was sufficient to convince any presumptuous Saxon that the difficulties of the language are too formidable to be mas- tered without a large amount of strenuous labour. It was not the kind of business to be taken in hand on the rainy mornings of a htiday." -r:

MORTIMER'S CROUP, COUGH IjL?JLAND…
MORTIMER'S CROUP, COUGH jL?JL AND WHOOPING COUGH MIXTURE. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: CROUP is a disease which mostly attacks young children, and thcte wh) have once had it ere more susceptible of it than befo e; but this gradually wears off as they grow older. It sometimes terminates fatally thm tweuty-foui hours, although when death happens it more ccmmcnly occurs on the foL-rth or tifth day. It commences usually with a slight cough, hoarseness, ina gneez.n?. as in a coulmon cold, but booU succeeds a peculiar phrilluesg ami singing of the voice as it the round were "er,t thiough a' brazen tube; then comes the dreadful and distrt^ing hard singiug, and cruwng ough, net unlike the barking or a dog. WheL this is attended with difficulty of breathing the case calls for imme- diate attention and most active treatment. In this stage persons generally begin to get aiaimed; but as it comes on mostly in the middle of the night it ofte). proves fatal, because of the delay occasioned by waiting until the morning without medical aid. The Proprietor, having found nis CROUP MIXTURE so efficacious in his own faai'ly, and being blessed as a means of restoring his children repeatedly from this appalling disease, he thinks it his duty to parents to give it a greater publicity. He has 1 ad already the heartfelt gratitude of nuny mothers for being the means of restoring their children that were once given up. While we hear of so many deaths from Croup, what a comfort it must be to hare such a remedy ready at hand. What love can that mother have towards her child that will not procu e for herself what has been such a blessing to others, wten it can be obtaii-ed at such a trifling amount. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. In Croup, a good teaspoonful ;s to be taken imme- diately, and repeated every haif-hour until the child vomits (sperates as an efu ttlc), and if the symptoms will not abate in a few houis it should be given in the same way, and a flannel dipped in Spirits of Camphor applied to the throat, and w-tted often. In Whooping Cough, at tlia commencement, a tea- spoonful every half-hour until the th:kl vomits (oloCrates as an emetic), and a. teaspoonful continued two or three tunes a day. In Coughs, Colds, or Sore Throats, a teaspoonful two or three times a day. PATRONISED BY THE PUBLIC FOR OVER 60 TEAKS. The following are a fer, zom among THOUSANDS OF (JENUUst TESTIMONIALS.

Dear Sir,—Our children frequently suffer from attacks of Oroup, and we have always found Morti- mer's Mixture a sure and sate remedy. My wife says she would not f6r anything be without it in the house. Having had experience of its beneficial effects upon our children, we gladly take every oppor- tunity of rejoaimciiding it! to our friends. Yours very truly, J.

I have found this preparation so very effective in cases ot Crc.up and severe Colds that, d. r.ng the (old cea on especially, I always like to have a supply at hand. Wherever there are children at all subject to Croup' it is invaluable. 1 firmly believe that it has on mon; than one occasion fa, cd the nves of seme of my children. I am by no means a believer in, or an advocate of, tha lindiscrurinate use of patent Meli- cines, but my experience of Mutimer's Croup Mix- ture has been such- that I feel impelled, from a sense of duty to Ubcr parents, to send you this voluntary tentitfjcny.
