The town of Washington Courthouse, in Ohio, has beeu the scene of a somewhat unusual affray arising out of an intended lynching bee."

After the mob had been repulsed the negro—on whom, whilst the shooting was going on, a sentence of twenty year's penal servitude had been passed,—was re moved in safety to the penitentary. John William Whale, organist of Rayton Church, was charged on Fiidav, at Baschurch, near Shrewsbury, with biawling in church on September 2:ii-d and Whale summoned the Vicar, the W. B.

The latter were encountered by an evening train, but were knocked off the mecals by the guard iron. Tke driver said that if the train had been going f:,st it would probably ha\ e gone off the line. The prisoner, who seemed strange in his mind, told the constable he wanted tfl kill his father who, he said, had knocked him about. A serious obstruction of iron and wooden rails Iva, also, it was said, placed on the line on September 20th. A shocking fatality occurred on Thursday afternoon, on the <,>uantock Estate, near Bt<Jgewater, the residence of Mr E. J.

ABERYSTWYTH COLLEGE. MrT. F. Rober's, principal of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, writes: —" Perm t me to can st'ention to the effort which is now being made by the Council of this CoHege to secure the prompt fulfilment of the condition at ached to the promise of a grant of £ 10,000 generously made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in August last. I:4m ghul to say that of the £5,000 we are required to raise £ 2,781 17s. has been promised, as will b" seen by the list in another column. It will be o1 served that one sub- acriptiou of C500 is made conditionally upon the whole amount being obtained b. fore the close of the present year. The Council earnestly appeal to the supporters of the Co'.lege to help them to attain this end. snd thus to show that the generosity of the Government meets with a ready response on the part of the Welsh people. Promises of suhscriptioBS may be sent to the Registrar at the College, and the amounts paid either now or in the c ;urse of the conrng ytar.

WELSH MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT. Me srs Daniel Owen and Company, Cardiff, have published at 10s 6.1, a volume which is a credit to the firm ns regards printing, and genernl get up, The artist. Mr Will Morgan, has succeeded iu presenting excellent likenesses of the Welsh members. We have no doubt the volume will be worth more wh°n it is old, than now, v.hile it is new. The biographical sketches are by Mr Matchant Williams, and IHfJ so obviously ill tempered and unfair, that anybody who reads them feels that they are the ill-tempered productions of a disappointed man. Mr Marchant Williams seems to be for ever saying Look at these men look at them I am a much better fellow than any of thein, and here I am writing about them, when I ought to he written aboat." Mabon makes sacreligious i blunders Mr C. F. Egerton Allen may be as tin- attractive in private life as he is in public life Mr R.. D. Burnie cannot pretend that he s ever stirred by a real and deep-seated sympathy with the national aspirations of the Welsh pcple Mr W. Rees Davits would not no.v be in Parliament, had he not b en the son of Sir Williain DL v i,, s Mr Edwards was educated at Shrewsbury School and Jesus College, Oxford. He made no mark at either place, and it now seems that he is bent upon making no mark at St Stephens Mr T. E, Ellis's political career, as far as Wales is concerned, "haR been the grimmest of fiasco* Mr S. T. Evans is steeped in Philistinism," and his blunders are deplorable Mr Humphreys-Owen "in education as in other things is a short-sighted theorist, and concerns himself but little with the practical working of his views Major Jonea "would be one of the most effective orators in the House of Commons, if he had a good voice, a good presence, and a good delivery the Hon. George T. Kenyou "is a rara avis Mr J. Herbert Lewis "ia utterly wanting in attractiveness Mr T. P. Lewis's power as a speaker and politician has been for m'wy years on the wane;" Mr Lloyd-George has "made many conspicuous blunders, but his chief sin is that when a boy he went to the National School at Llan- ystumdwy Mr W. Fuller Maitland has uo merit of any kind. All he ever did was to win the seat in 1875 Colonel the Hon. F. C. Morgan is brave and "so upright, 80 mauly, so considerate, and, above all things, so honourable." thut our readers will naturally expjet that he, like Mr Kenyon, is a Tory; Sir George Osborne Morgan has never succeeded anywhere, and has had to be satisfied with a bironetcy Mr Lloyd Morgan" has never taken the faintest interest in auy Welsh national question Mr Pritchard Morgan ia too flippant to be impressive, too superficial to be really impressive Captain T. P. Price has been successful as a politician, in a small, very small way;" Sir Pryce Pryce-Jonea very small way;" Sir Pryce Pryce-Jonea ii a good Churchman—has built a Church at. his own expense. Bishops sometimes, and rectors often, sit at his table. Sir Pryce Pryce-Jcups is a Tory, and would be perfect if he were not in trade Mr David Randall has never actively con- cerned^ him-elf with any national enterprise— educational, social, or literary Mr William Rath bone is by birth, speech, and temperament an a!iei," whose "-wealth was counted to him for ri^hteousuess Sir Edward Reed is probably righTeousoes Sir Edward Reed is probably wholly out of sympathy with the national aspirations of the Welsh people;" Mr Bryn Roberts's "sympathies are narrow his views are circumscribed. He knows (nothing of Welsh history and nothing of Welsh literature Mr Herbert Roberts is as unfamiliar with the minor history of the Principality as he is with the language of the. people Mr Bowen Rowlands is not without his failings and shortcomings." He does not know Welsh, and is not in touch with the advanced section of the Welsh National Pc!rty Mr l Samuel Smith is advised to get to know something about Wales. The question is asked Why shoul I I Mr Smith represent a Welsh county in the Imperial 'I Parliament," and we may add while Mr Marchant Williams remains regretfully outside ? Mr Albert Spicer is described "as the father of a large family, and again the question is asked why he should represent a Welsh constituency Mr Abel Thomas might have been something worth'notice if he had taken to learning Welsh instead of saving lives in his youth. His chief !-in seems to be that he is in Parliament, and that his critic is outside Mr Alrrcd Thomas's first offence is that he is a Particular Baptist, and is of "uncertain habits of thought," whatever that may mean; Mr D. A. Thomas is accused of reconstructing his political views to m ike them more in accord with the people's Mr Warmington cuts a poor figure in the House of Commons Mr A. J. Williams might j have di'-ting'i'shed himself on the stage, in minor parts, if he had taken to play-acting in early life Mr Win. Wrilliams, "when he found that his political v;cws were not acceptable to the majority of the Glamorgan County Council voters he changed his views." There ate thirty-four members for Wales, and with the exception of the three Tories there is an ill- tempered, soured, envious, unhappy wipo at each of them. The volume is a valuable one as it is hut it might have been much more valuable if jj; n0 £ beeu for the strain of jealous disappointment which I runs through it. There is an imputation of meanness, dishonesty, and insincerity running through the notice1? which vitiates them as history, and reveals the writer's jealous and impotent rivalry. Messrs Daniel Oweu and Co. have hit upon a work which n ill doubtless be re-issued from time to time. A work of this kind should be written as impartially as it. is drawn. The artist has done his work without bias. Would that" e could say as much for the literary sketches. When the next edition is published I the literary matter should be unsparingly revised.
