Ttft country ViVacs vers spreads .-[Tncklv n"»."J ¡be villagers hnve "o"pr!:v p'onJy of time on th ir ^pds to demote to other people's atTaira, any unex- incident is sure to create something of a Hpnsation. Daft Liza had, of course, told her story fl&aft to one acquaintance and then to another, and by means or other, (probably through a curicus «t*4i=»rvant taking a peep at Mr. Spence's corre- spondence,) it had become known in Kildenny that on Saturday morning an inspection of the unpopular jtranger's premises was to be made. Archie MacAllister found his mother and sisters discussing the matter when he went down to break- fast, for the news had reached Miiiholme through the medium of the bakers boy. I think 111 go down to the rastle, and see what is going on," said Archie, with the feeling that he was almost a hypocrite in not saying inore. Leslie gave him a keen look, and her brother's eyes dropped on his plate. When he left the home he found that his sister was Waiting for him near the f-ariVn gate. Yen hare something to do with this search at the castle." she said. I know what daft Liza told you, and I bel'eve yon have been speaking to Mr. Spence. And 1 think it is very unfa r of ycu not to tell me anything about it." And throwing her brother an indignant look, Leslie ran away. Archie followed her for a few steps, and then abandoned the pursuit. I see. The doctor must have been telling her what Li/a saw. I think he might have had more sense than speak of it," he said too himself. When he reached the castle, he found a mis- cellaneous gathering at the lar^e wooden door which had been erected at the old gateway. A dozen oo1s were there, and half-a-docpn idle young men, as well as Dr. Gardiner and Mr. Symington, who were wait- ing for Mr. Spence before they sought, admission. Prominent in the thronsr was Andrew Gem mill, the beadle. He favoured his old master's son with a side- long nod as he came up. saying, Guid-day. Maister Archie. Are you going to be in this senseless ploy, too?" I wonder that a dou^e nai like yon should meddle with it, Andrew, seeing that it's so senseless," responded Archie. Weel. a public man lilre me has to be a' gaits, ye see and as John Thampson s no at hame, it behoved me to be on the spot to mainteen order.—Hand aff 0' that tree, ye young ne er-do-weel he added to a youngster who was beginning to climb a tree with a view to being able to look over the high paling. "Confound it all l" muttered Archie to himself: they are making as much fuss about it as if we were at a picnic. Of course no one will be found in the castle; and the only result of it all will be that the German will have been thoroughly put on his guard." His reflections were cut ?hort by the arrival of Mr. Spence, who shook hands with the minister, the doctor and our hero. Are you responsible for all this clatter, Archie ?" he said m a low tone. Indeed I am not," said Archie indignantly. There was neither bell nor knocker at the door but Andrew made a hammeringwith his stick which soon brought the big gamekeeper to open it. It seemed as if the master of the castle had kept himself imformed of what was going on outside fcr he immediately appeared at the portal to receive his visitors. Good morning, sir," he said to Mr. Spence, who courteously acknowledged the salutation. I confess I did not. expect you to brins so laree a retinue." "These people are not here by my authority," said the justice, reddening as he spoke. Andrew, i wish you would keep all these boys at a distance," ha added. chap lo This direction the beadle promptly obeyed by entering the gateway him elf, immediately after Mr. Spence's party, and shutting the heavy door in the face of the crowd. Mr. Brandt and his principal visitor went first, the minister followed them. and Archie and his friend Dr. Gardiner blought up the rear. "I trust, Mr. Brandt. you will not suppose that this annoyance originated with me,' sa d Mr. Spence, rather stiy. I beard that there were unpleasant and injurious rumours afloat, and I tljou.ht it weil to o i er you an opportunity of silencing them but if I had foreseen-" Say no more, sir," said the German, with a wave of his hand; I think I understand the source of these malicious reports—a young man whom my gamekeeper had to chastise for some impertinence but it is of no consequence. As we are here, I had better show you and your friends over the pro- mises." Meanwhile, Archie had been saying to Gardiner in a low tone, Do you remember how often we used to come here in the old days, Tom ? I know tha tilaee as well as I know my own bedroom. One thing 1 feel pretty sure of—I shall be able to make certain that no one is concealed about the place. I shall have a look at the vault under the gateway before I go, if possible." It was a gloomy but interesting pile of buildings that presented itself to the eyes of the party all they walked up the short approach. In front of them was the ancient wall. It was quite broken and roofless, the blue sky being visible through the upper windows, which were curtaiLed by grasses and stray plants. On the left, on the side nearest to the castle path and farthest from the river, was the keep, which was still in a state of fairiy gocd pre- servation. To this part of the building Mr. Brandt led his visitors and taking them through a doorway in the ruined wall, he brought them mto what had been the courtyard of the castle. The wall on the further side was quite broken down; and through the gaps in it Archie could see a detached building of red brick, which had not been there when he was a boy. M That is my laboratory," said the German, point- jng to it with his stick. We will visit it before we have finished our inspection. The part I use as a house is the keep. My sister is not at home just 11.t- pr^er.t," he added, Archie thought, with a sinister v. ¡" o "if she had been here, I have no doubt sh^ ouuiJ have been happy to receive you, gentlemen.1' With these words Mr. Brandt conducted the party to the lowest floor of the xeep, which was furnished as a sitting-room. On their way they passed the kitchen, 3tore-rooms, and scullery, which were part of the ancient bu tiding, and had been rendered habit- able by a little planking and plaster. Into all these rooms Mr. Spence and his fnends glanced in passing. The only person visible in them was a big, coarse- lookingGerman woman. with a sullen expreSSlon of lace. Mr. Symington addressed a few common-place words to her, bnt she only mut.ered something in German by way of reply. The sitting-room, a comfortably furnished apart- fnent, was empty; and leaving it the German pro- ceeded to climb a winding turret-etair, which led to the floor above. This is my sister's bedroom," he said, throwing a door. The others hung back; but Mr. Brandt tilently motioned them to enter. There was neither closet nor cupboard in the room —-no recess in which any one could possibly have been concealed. Even the door of the wardrobe, which was tilled with dark-coloured dresses, stood cpen. The servant's bedroom is above," said the pro- fessor, leading the way upstairs; my own adjoins the laboratory." Really, this is quite unnecessary, Mr. Erandt, aid Mr. Spence, stopping short on the stairs. We iave no wish to look into that room." The minister murmured something by way of acquiescence, andA-rchie began to fear that the part of the house which it was most necessary they should «M would pass unvisited. But the German, saying— I prefer that you should make a thorough inspec- tion of the place,* tramped steadily upwards; and the others, of course, followed him. The bedroom th ey now eiit-ered was plainly furnished; and, like the room below, it was quite empty. The windows were furnished v> i; h heavy shutters, in which round holes had been cut to admit the light; and the professor explained to Mr. ;pence that the wind was 80 strong at that height ia the autumn and winter months that if the window had not been protected in that way it would have been blown in long before. Descending the turret-stairs, Mr. Brandt now took Mr. Spence and his companions to the laboratory. It was a larger bunding than they had expected to see and it was at once evident that if the rest of the establishment was furnished and kept up with a due regard for economy, no expense had been spared in providing the means of study. The new building was divided into three parts. In the first apartment were furnaces, crucibles, electric machines, ai'd masses of metal which Archie took for enormous magnets. There were also rows upon rows of cabinets contain- ing specimens, and shelves which supported glass- stoppered bottles of all shapes and sues. The second room was smaller. It was filled with philosophical instruments many of them preserved from dust or injury by glass cases) and books. The third room was beyond the study. It was very simply fitted up as a bedroom for the professor. A r*nall door in the further wail gave access to the grf 1 castV 35 v.- jxr. crpence 0:ItI'ill: C(]1:!Iprum:r.:rs pa3sea enrougn ït;e whole building; and Archie,■as he went slowly through the set of rooms, paid particular attention to see that there was no corncr or recess where any one rould be hidden. There was nothing of the kind. The laboratory was as hare of any hiding-place", any secret chambers, vaults, ordark cornel's, as awaiting- room at a railway-station. By the way," exclaimed the professor, when they were once more in the open air, there is an empty room above the servant's bedroom which I have over- looked. I should be glad if you will visit it." I "atly refuse to climb those stairs again," said Mr Spence, looking round for something to sit down •<>n. You will come, then. I hope," said the German "dressing the minister. Mr. Symington accepted lie invitation, and Archie, uninvited, accompanied M'n. The empty room proved to be indeed empty, riven over to dust, rats, and cobwebs. It did not hold so much as a packing-case. There was but one --¡¡rrow window, and by giancing out of it., Archie saw "1 a moment that they had reached the highest point o" the tower. On regaining the court-yard Mr. Brandt said: We may as weU have a look at my sister's s immer-honse. the only building of any kin'd which w hare net seen," and he led the way to the other side of the laboratory. Archie, however, hung behind the others, and as soon as he was left alone he ran down the gras^- grown court-yard till he reached the end farthest i fVon the keep. Here he reached the ancient gate- way of the castle-yard—a ruined archway, which had in bye-gone days supported a catehouse. The sides of the broken arch were walls of considerable width, and the young man well remembered that in one of them there was a passage which led to an under- ground vault. This passage he now expected to find closed by a door, but it was not so. It was open, and the vault beyond was empty. From the appearance of the grot1:1d-nrm, and covered with dust nnd fragments of lime, Archie was convinced that the soil had not been disturbed. Indeed, he had no r'ason to think that the German so much as knew of this opening, and he had only paid it a visit to have the satisfac- tion of knowing that no corner of the old castle had escaped observation. Having completed bis inspection, Archie hastened a*"ter the others, and found them in a smati, tastefully furnished summer-house, which was overlooked by the windows of the laboratory. There was a bit of lawn, bevond which was the screen of bushes through which Archie had once glanced. I do hope. gentlemen," the professor was saying in an impressive manner, as Archie made his appear- ance-" I do hare thnt yon win do your best to dis- countenance the absurd and malicious reports which j have been spread abroad concerning me, and that! henceforth I may be allowed to pursue my researches undisturbed." Each member of the party (MacAllister excepted" murmured an assent to this and they all began to move towards the castle. Archie, who was again Rt the rear of the little procession, stopped to admire an immense bed of mignonette, which lav under the wall of the keep, the fragrance of which filled the air. As he looked at it he remembered with a pang a morsel of mignonette which he still treasured, though she who had given it to him was lost to him forever. Mignonette had been Ada's favourite flower, he remembered well Was it po-sible that this German professor, or his sister, had similar tastes ? It must have been some one who had a strong liking for the flower that had sown so much of it in one spot. Somehow, the sii ht and scent of the delicate yet plain-looking blossoms brought Ada vividly before the young man's mind. Stooping, almost mechanically, to gather a sprig of the fower, his eye wa2 caught by a morsel of colour at a little distance, half hidden by the clustering flowers. He took another step along the grass and picked it up. A bit of pale blue ribbon sewn into a knot! A simple thing, truly: but how did it come there ? Archie felt certain that neither the German's sister nor his middle aged, lumpish servant had ever worn it. But be had no time to pause and retlect at that moment. Gathering a bit of of the mignonette. Archie slipred it and the morsel a" blue ribbon into his pocket, and hastened af'er his companions. (To he continued.') chap 16

HXGING FESTIVAL" AT SWANSEA.
HXGING FESTIVAL" AT SWANSEA. Yv'ELSH INDEPENDENTS' FIRST CYMANFA, The lirst annual sing ng cymanfa of the com- bined Welsh Independent Churches of Cadie,Zoar, Ebenezer, Keion, Canaan, and Sketty was com- menced at Capel Scion. High-street, Swansea, this (Monday) morning. The bniiding was filled in every available space, IHE galleries being reserved for the choir of children F'or whom the meeiinewas especially held. Itwas f)i! !.Y natural that Dr. Parry whose close connection -Mth Congregational sing- ing in Swansea as ORII^I-: at jibenezer Welsh In- dependent Chapel lor years renders him a most familiar and DISTINGUISHED figure as leader of cymanfoedd in the district. It may be interest- ing to know that the eminent musician during the time be was connected with Ebenezer com- posed no less than 2(0 Congregational hymn tunes, in which work he was greatly encouraged by the never-to-be-ior- gotten Dr. Fees, the pastor of the church. The Rev. W. Gibbon, pastor of Chapel Seion, con- ducted the morning meeting in his characteristic good spirit; Miss M, A. Jones, Ebenezer, presid- ing at the organ. The children's voices were heard to distinct advantage in Dr. Parry's sweetly- composed tnne, Pwy sydd yn y I;ef yn byw," the sublime pathos being excellently imparted to the rendering. The other piece, which com- pletely captivated the congregation was •'Plant y Tonau,' a composition by Mr. D. W. Lewis, Brynaman. It was repeated with thrilling effeet time alter time, the congrega- t.on joinging in the hwylusfeelings of the singers. The other tunes sung were UMoliant, Ai dilator tenyt ein colli ni from "Telyn yr Ysgol Sul" (Dr. Parry), "Plant Jerusalem," and Canaf i'r Arglwydd." During the proceedings the children recited the 96th Psalm, together with the first and second chapters from a Sunday-school book, entitled "Fam a'i plentyn." Mr. J. Williams, Waunwen, delivered a very earnest address to the children upon the theme of Christ's eare for their welfare, AFTERNOON MEETING. Dr. Parry looked quite a familiar figure in the pulpit at Ebenezer when he led; the combined choirs of adult and children's voices, which filled the gallery to its utmost capacity, and must have numbered about 600 in all. The Rev. J. Davies, Cadle, made a very capable conductor of the meeting. The building was crowded to excess, a large number failing to gain admission. The tune St. Austin was the first on the programme, and the rendering of this to the words "Hyfryd lais efengyl hedd" was very spirited and effective. The appealing tune Wynn- stay," to the words Mae F anwylyd oil yn hawdd- gar," evinced the exquisite taste of the conductor to a very full extent, the words "Pwyfelefe?" being rendered with an indescribable amount of pathetic feeling, and the congregation was greatly moved there'>y. Sandon, Brvmau Canann, Hhyl, and Ardudwy, ull great favourites among Welsh choristers, were ai, o given in each case with marvellous effect. A chant tllne-" Danaeg y Mab Afradlon,"—was also finely given, before the ever fresh Bryniau Cassia" was commenced. In this the audience were all moved, and joined with great hwyl, (Specially in the part L;0 rjwanfeidrol gariad i gofio am danaf ft." and it was repeated again and again. In the course of the meeting the Rev. D. O. liees, of Sketty, delivered an address apropros to the fostering of singing as a phase of public worship. This would only be reviving the order or former times, since singing was next to sacrifice as the chief attraction in religious gatherings in the Temple of Jerusalem. Neither sufficient time or opportunity was afforded far the preparation of Congregational hymns at the present time, but their hope lay in the fact that they took such an active interest in the cymanfa which he hoped would increase in its influence, and have the desired effect in improving the sing- ing iu their various churches,
SVORTTFA^^A:- TOIES-
SVORTTFA^^A:- TOIES- [BY THE OLD UK.] The Glamorganshire Golf Club played a match against Weston on Saturday, when the South Walians inflicted a most crushing defeat on the Weston men by 2Y holes to seven. The Llanelly Football Club Sports will be held on Saturday next (under A.A.A. andN.CIU. rules), when the events will include one mile, 120 jards, and quarter-mile flat races, and one, two, and three mile bicycle races. The second practice match of the Swansea Eleven did not prove a very interesting affair. The cricket was better than that of the previous week, but the wintry yvind nipped all enthusiasm and caused the fielders to do sprints to keep up the circulation. A try, Charles," shouted one spectator to Coke as he raced in his sweet old way aiter the ball, and thac jocular remark brought up visions of football which would have been much appropriate in the weather. Simpson again exhibited pretty and attractive cricket, his strokes, especially his late cuts, being exceptionally line. He is only a youngster yet, and should develop into a really good bat. His 35 was scored very cleanly, and it seemed hard lines that when he had got set he should have had to bow to the umpire's decision respecting the proper place for his leg. Bancroft and Letcher were also in form, the former knocking spots" off the besriing for about half-an-hour. when he fell to a rather foolish stroke. O'Leary was the most successful trandier for the youngsters, the rev. father's medium tIMe breakers from rcmnd the wicket bothering the batsmen tremendously. Shepherd fielded -?RE41, and effected two brilliant catches. The spectators imagined that the second teamers would walk in procession to and from the wickets, but were agreeably surprised. Shepherd and Griffiths played the trundling with confidence, and at seven o'clock they had registered 68 for three wickets. They thus made a very creditable draw.
PITH N D ~POINT, .
PITH N D ~POINT, The Yosemite Valley (California) stage coach was on Saturday attacked by masked robbers. One of tbe robbers was shot, but a lady passenger was killed. The spindle makers' strike at Dukinfield has term.nated by the employers conceding the demands of the operatives with reference to apprentices. It is understood that counsel representing the Anti-gambling League will apply to the Northamp- ton borough magistrates on Wednesday for a sum- mons against Messrs. Trail, les ees of the race- course, for permitting betting within the enclosures. There is no mn ferial change to-day (Monday) in the situation of the London cabmen's strike. The masters still hold firm, whilst the strikers on the other hand are as confident as ever of success. It has been arranged lor a deputation of masters to wait upon the Home Secretary to-day (Monday), to ascertain the right hon. gentleman's opinion as to the legality of labels which the Cabmen's Union insist upon having posted upon the windows of cabs going out. It is understood that the men will also interview Mr. Asquith during the afternoon.

A SWANSEA BOY AT EI0. o'
A SWANSEA BOY AT EI0. o LIVELY EXPERIENCES DURING THE BRAZILIAN WAR. HOW THE REBEL ADMIRAL ESCAPED. 3 A Swansea lad, named Walter Thomas, the son of Mr. David Thomas, of Convent-terrace, Swan- sea, has been having some lively experiences since he left Swansea on his last voyage. He has been in the thick of the yellow fever epidemic at Rio. and, like nearly all the members of the crew of the British steamship Severn, of which he is the fourth officer, was laid np for a considerable time in the hospital of the Far West. He is not yet out of his teens, and the attack was one of excep- tional severity; in fact, he believes that he owes his life to the tender nursing of A FRENCH SISTER OF MERCY. She took pity on the poor English boy and nursed him with all the loving tenderness of a mother. Thomas says the sisters were angels in human form. Men and women were constantly dying around him, constant processions of funerals passed the hospital day and night, dead bodies were everywhere, and business was at a standstill. As soon as a person died he was hustled off to the dead house and burried later in a bed of quick- lime. The captain of the Severn, the first engineer, and the cabin bov, all died of the yellow fever. First officer Reid, who thereupon became captain, was formerly cadet on board H.M.S. Temeraire. and was badly wounded at Tel-el-Kebir. The crew of the Severn, which is NOW at Baltimore, tell some CURIOUS STORIES of Admiral Mello. The insurgent admiral was at Rio at the same time as young Thomas, and escaped capture by the Brazilian Government through using the disguise of & priest. The Holy Fathers abound in Rio, and, attired in a cowl and gown, Mello walked the streets unrecognised though a large reward was offered for his capture. When the insurrection was at its height in February, a crowd of persons, including many Government officials, assembled on the quay to watch the insurgent warship Aquidaban lying at anehor at the entrance to the harbour, A man DRESSED AS A PRIEST hurried through the crowd, and, addressing the captain of a steam launch, begged to be conveyed to the Aquidaban. He said that a brother priest had gone thither to attend to a dying sailor, but had been detained by the scoundrel Mello. Admiring what they deemed to be the courage of the p. test, the crowd urged the captain to con- sent, which he naturally did. When the launch was some distance from the pier, the supposed priest leaped up, threw aside his cowl, gown, and crueifix, jerked a pair of glistening revolvers from his i.ip-pockets, and stood up in the boat in full view of all on the pier, clad in the gold-laced, dazzling uniform of the insurgent admiral. He was the rebel admiral, Mello, and, as the captain of the launch was unarmed, he compelled him to complete the trip to the warship.
ACTION FOR SLANDER AT LLANELLY.,…
ACTION FOR SLANDER AT LLANELLY., TWO DEACONS IMPLICATED. £100 DAMAGES CLAIMED. At a special sitting of the Llanelly County Court on Saturday, before his Honour Judge Bishop and a special jury of five persons, an action which has caused much excitement locally was heard in which Thomas Samuel, living at Ty-isha-terrace, a deacon at Zion Chapel, Llan- elly, sought to recover damages from William Williams, a deacon at Capel Newydd of the same place, amounting to £100. The members of the jury sworn were a.s follows: —Thomas Hugh, Dock Hotel; John Clement, Greenfield-terrace; Charles Cole, Market-street; Georga F. Blake, New-road; Arthur J. Burns, Greenfield Villas.—Mr. C. H. Downe, of Cardiff, barrister, (instructed by Mr. D. H. Williams, solicitor, Llanelly) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Arthur Lewis, barrister (instructed by Messrs. Johnson and Stead, solicitors, Llanelly) defended. In the course of his formal opening, Mr. Downe said the action, on account of its undesirable char- acter, would have better been settled out of court. The slander uttered was most repulsive in itsnature, and besides was socially damning in its effect, and it was chiefly in order to clear his character and hold up his head among his friends, his neighbours, and in the eyes of his employer that plaintiff brought the present action. The slander was uttered in September last, when all the parties concerned were at the back of their premises, and the words used of a filthy description cast an im- putation of A disgraceful nature upon plaintiff. The slanderous statement uttered was so uttered to the person who ought last to bo singled out, in this world for that R purpose, viz., his own daughter. The plaintiff was I between 55 and 60 years of age and a.s, there- fore, entitled to the respect, reveri ■ ce and love, of his own daughter, in whom the laa er would most likely rankle until he would .o to the grave unless they were cleared beyolhA suspicion, After putting in a plan of the loqus in quo, Mr. Downe quoted the words used in the presence of a number of witnesses. The first thing that hap- pened was that Mrs. Williams, when she came out began to imitate the way in which she alleged, Mrs, Matthews (defendant's daughter) walked and behaved whilst at her brother-in-law's funeral. Then a man named Ambrose, observing Williams, the defendant, there said, That's a nice sort of deacon for you; he will be praying at Capel Newydd to-morrow," or something of that sort. Defendant thereupon turned to Mrs. Matthews, towards whom he had just previously thrown an empty tin, saidh" If I am a deacon—or" big man," as it would be more literally translated — in Capel Newydd, I am not like your' father." Then followed an imputation that plaintiff was foul from a sexual disorder. The plaintiff had hitherto lived a blameless life, and his character was irreproachable. If those words were allowed to be spread abroad uncontra- dicted and disproved the consequence would be that he would go down to the grave with this still hanging en the head of himself and those of the future members of his family. Elizabeth Matthews, the plaintiff's daughter, the first witness called, hove out the words used in the opening statement :of counsel. She thought the imputation implied by the words were of a reprehensible, immoral, disgraceful character. In cross-examination by Mr. Arthur Lewis, witness admitted that they had repeated quarrels at the back of the house, owing, she stated, to a previous allegation made in respect of her hus- band. She denied that she had used similar epithets in return. The next witness called was a man named John Jones. He attested to the statement made by the defendant. The latter used disgraceful language and wanted to quarrel with witness, but ulti- mately went away like a dog with his tail off," (Laughter.) Ellen Jones corroborated. Thomas Samuel, the plaintiff, was then called, and said that immediately he heard of the slander he put the casein thefiands of his solicitor, who had written for an apology at once, but no reply was received. Mr. Arthur Lewis then rose to address the court for he defence, but he had not proceeded far before the court rose. The case was adjourned until to-day (Monday).

-------.-----..--SWANSEA BOARD…
SWANSEA BOARD OF GUARDIANS. FORTS KSHTLY MEETING. THIS DAY. The usual fortnightly meeting of the Swansea Board of Guardians was held this (Monday) morn- ing at the Workhouse, under the presidency of Sir John Llewelyn, There was a large attendance, the following being presentMiss AL E. Brock, Revs. O. T. Sneliing and Dr. Gomer Lewis, Coun- cillors J. Griffiths, E. R. Diniel, Messrs. P. Jenkins, R. Harries,E. C. Preece, Jno. Lewis, P. Rogers, W. Sims. D. Jones Powell, W. J. Rees, I Edw. Roberts, Seymour Arthurs, W. P. Wearne, Richard Jenkins, Llewelyn Davies, C.C., David Owen, Jno. Davies.and \V. Evans. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed nern. cow. THE PAUPER'S BURIAL. The CHAIRMAN stated that Mr. Williams, the undertaker, was in attendance, and wished to make a statement to the Board. As he (the speaker) hsd been absent he would ask Mr. Daniel to preside when Mr. Williams entered. The Rev. O. T. SPELLING said he was afraid that in investigating the case a fortnight before the Board did not come very well out of the matter. Mr. Williams was admitted. Mr. DANIEL (addresiiug the undertaker) You had an order from Mr. He waon to bury a certain body, and you didn t carry out your order until you had had the latter 10 dajt s. Mr. WILLIAMS: "I beg pardon, the letter was kept here for seven chys." Continuing, the speaker said that it was usual for the bodies to remain at the Workhouse for seven dxye. I Rev. O. T. SNELLING Horrible"! Mr. DANIEL explained thrt the undertaker was notified of the death on the day following the death of the man, and subsequently Canon Smith had drawn attention to the fact that the body had ron ained in the workhouse for seven da;, a. In He como. c ot further discussion it was stated that the man died on the 24th and was buried on the 31st, The undertaker urged that the reason that the body was left as long as it was was a general one. At the present time he had a similar case, in which a body wail being interred seven days after death. Mr. WILLIAM* There has never been a proper time laid down. If you make a stipulation of that kind we will stick to ir. Therefore if I have gone a little bit out of the way, the fault s not with me, but with the Board. Mr. DANIEL: Isthece anything else lhatyou wish to say ? Mr. WILLIAMB: Yes, I saw a nasty slur in the paper respecting tho coffins made by me. They are all made of i inch elm wood, and "have always been turned out satisfactorily. Rev. O. T. SNKLLING: The charge made was not a formal one. Mr. JONES PowBLL The coffins are not good enough for the time that the bodies remain here. The undertaker further explained that if anv proof as to the excellence of the coffins was needed they need only refer to the Workhouse officials who saw them. It was subsequently determined that in future the bodies be taken away within five days of the death. FINANCE COMMITTEE. The adoption of the minutes of this committee was moved by Mr. Edward Roberts, who said that the balance in the bank at present was £ 1,119 7a., but they had bills due which would make it neces- 'sary for them to overdraw to the extent of £788 3s. The minutes were adopted. GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE, THE POOR RELIEF. A considerable discussion arose respecting a proposal that the Guardians do meet to administer relief weekly instead of fortnightly. In the course of some cogent remarks the Rev. O. T. Sneliing urged that it was a crying shame that many of the poor people in the town had to wait for relief so long a time. Of course the whole work of the Board must be altered in November next, but were these poor people to suiter for another six months.—Mr. Llewelyn Davies, C.C., moved an amendment, but subsequently it was with- drawn, it being suggested that as the great bulk I of the relief case's come from the town, there was no need for the country guardians to come in. The chairman, in acquiescing with this sugges- tion, paid a high compliment to the work done by the vice-chairman with respect to the supervision ef the relieving officer's booKs. It was subsequently decided that the committee of the whole Board meet every other wee\ (alter- nately with the Board meetings;, to administer relief. Miss M. Lewis, Sea View-terrace, was appointed nurse at the Workhouse at a salary of £18 a year. This was all the business of importance.

I SUNDAY SERVICES. .
SUNDAY SERVICES. MUSICAL SERVICE AT CHRIST CHURCH, SWANSEA. The musical service held at Christ Church on Sunday afternoon proved in all respects success- ful. More than ordinary interest attached to the event because of the presence of Miss Martin and Mr. John Ridding, of Turner's Opera Company and those whe had foregone the pleasure of an afternoon walk were more than compensated. MR. rendering or "A nu, arm, ye brave! "Juchs Maccabeus," and of Jude's B holdl slam! at the doorwas perfect both in style and power. He was in fine voice, and the most er tical coi;K: not but have been delighted It may perhaps be N little late in the day, but the Swansea MUSK Soeietv might with advantage seriously cohh d the advisability of engaging him for the po mance of "Elijah" in November. Mr. Ridd.' should certainly be a. success in I:, title role of the oratorio referred t. Miss Martin possesses a powerful co. tralto voice, which she displayed ro advanti. in Sullivan's "God shall wipe awity all tears, air- in the solo part of the anthem, LI Oh that I had wings," Smieton. it may be of interest to note that Miss Martin has been twice on tour with Sims Reeves, and has sung 13 times at the Crystal Palace. Mr. G. H. Crews sang with taste Sullivan's Refrain my voice from weeping," and I Mr. J. F. Fricker, A.C.O., played two organ solos which were much appreciated. The Rev. Eli Clarke delivered an appropriate address, basing his remarks upon the titles of the musical select ons which had been rendered. At the evening service Mr. Ridding -iang Faure's Les Rameux," and Slaughter's "God so loved the world, both offorts reaching a high standard of perfection. The sing- ing of the choir, under the conductorship of Mr. G. Ii. Crews, at both services was excellent. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHAPEL. The anniversary services at the Tabernacle Baptist Chapel were held on Sunday, the Rev. B. D. Davies (York-place), preaching in the morning, and the pastor, the Rev. W. J. John, in the even- In the afternoon the Rev. James Owen (Mount Pleasant) preached to a large and attentive audience. Taking as his text the words "that the I man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works," the rev. gentleman said that true manliness was to be attained only by godliness. Thomas Carlyle had said in the evening o his days that the older he grow the more came back to him the old sentence in the catechism, that man's chicf end was to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever. But what did man make his chief en ? What were the life goals? They were to summed up in the word "self." But to be a true man of God one must recognise the fact that the spiritual interests were supreme. The recognit.on of this fact was not fanaticism or asceticism ll8 some men said on the contrary the poverty of our life was teaause we had lost sight of its supremacy. Turning to speak of the second part of his text the speaker pointed to the fact that the man of God would give proof of his faith by doing good wonts. But people were too prone to believe that good works were necessarily great works. The cup of cold water to the poor beggar was quite as precious in the Lord's sight as the alabaster box of precious ointment. Let them therefore not despise tho doing of small acts of kindness and deeds of love. True manliness was true godliness, for godliness was no mere foolish sentiment for the aged and the suffering, but it was for the strong, and robust, and active as well as for the weak. They must remember what Hugh Stowell Brown used to sav, and when they "put off the old man" not to put on the old woman." It was by vigorous and active work for the Master that spiritual life was fostered. If they would ba real and truo men, therefore, let them put cn the whole armour of God; let them open the dcors that the King of Glory might come in. THE PRESIDENT OF THE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE IN SWANSEA. The President of the Wesleyan Conference, the Rev. J. H. Pope, renowned throughout the land for his brilliant oratory and theological prowess, paid a visit to Swansea yesterday, when he preached, morning and evening at Wesley Chapel. A large congregation assembled at the morning service, and heard a splendid discourse, For nearly an hour the rev. gentleman held his audience entranced, whilst he drew beautiful spiritual lessons from Zebedee's appeal to Christ, and the I answer of the Master as recorded in the 20th chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel. One supreme thought, the nreaeher said, occupied the attention of Christ,AI D t IC disciples as they journeyed to J er u- salem—the '.bought of the Kingdom which Jesus should rule. Christ kne w that hishourhaU come, the disciples knew that the lime rvas approaching when Christ's claim to the kingdom could not be much longc-r postponed. They looked upon the kingdom as a kingdom on earth-a kingdom of heaven en earth -a regeneration when the Son of Man would cnthroned a reformation of manners, morals, and methods-a. complete trans- formation, with all the glory and splendour of Solomon, and the grace and piety of Da', id re- kindled. The answer of Christ to ZeLed ee showed I the disciples that they did not realty understand tho process to be passed through before they attained the qualification to sit on His right or left hand; they wondered what it was to drink of His cup and to be baptised with the bap- tism with which He was baptised. W. at was it that constituted greatneess in the Kingdom of Christ ? Heaven was a state derived from disposition. When thechildren of (Jod walked into the presence and laid their crowns as a tribute at His footstool, would not the vision of Jesus contribute a richer and grander joy to some than to others. It would be the heaven of heav( ns to some who in this world of toil and struggle had been following Christ very closely, had been tread- ing in His footsteps, to whom no service was too hard and no sacrifice too heavy; to them the sight of Jesus would be a much richer reward than it would be to others who had followed Christ afar off, in a hesitating and halting way, who had grudged any service or sacrifice, and who showed very little fervour and a littleness of devotion. Tbev should look upon each hour as seed-time for the harvest of eternity.—A collection was taken on behalf of the chapel funds. EVENING SERVICE. The same distinguished divine occupied ti e pulpit at the evening service, and delivered another excellent sermon to a congregation which filled the commodious edifice in every available place. Based upon the words in Phillipians i., 3: the rev, pentlemau's exegesis was lucidly set forth. The lessons were the first day, the second (or present) day in the life of the human soul, and she third day—.Clhrist's day—or the day of judgment. Examples ol those whoha.J experienced the blessed first day of religious vitality were Lydia, and the soothsaying slave-girl from whom the devils were at last cast out, and the jailer of the prison wherein Paul was confine.! IN Phillipi. 1\0 man • hadkuown the roal first day of this life until it hr.d become his eternal destiny. Religion was not a mere conventionalism, but was of the heart, uud the first day of a believer was not the day of his baptism but the day when his soul would be born of Christ. When the life had been lived upto the present day the past should not be revet TJD to. It would be the proclamation of spiritual baiikiu^TCY to do this. The Chris- tian's hope t'.as in the future. The world was having its day now, and Christ was watching and waiting for the time when all H s enemies would be made his footstool; and because he now lhes with the Father, the Christian would live amid the iustra a.nd brightness of his eternal singing at each of the services was particularly .ood. Mr. Clutterbuck presided at the organ with his cliai-acteristic efficiency. HALF-YEARLY SERVICES AT BETHANIA. Yes'erdav (Sunday) the half-yearly services vere held at Bethania (Calvinistic Methodist) h;i,pel, Morriston. The officiating preachers ere the Rev. Daniel Phillips (Llwvnhendy), and i. Williams (Brvnsiencyn, Anglesea.) In the after- ioon it was found desirable to hold the ■*ERvices at Tabernacle Congregational Chapel, kindly lent for the occasion, but here, as in Bethania, a. large Bumber were unable to gain admission, the sacred edificd being literally crammed. Madame Row- lands beautifully satilr With verduro clad," from Ilaydn s Creation.' Mr. Evan Evans also sang "Now heaven in FULLEST glory shone in a mbov impressive manner at the evening service, and very powerful sermons were delivered by both rev. gentlemen. Special efforts were made to liquidate the chapel debt. Aconsigiinient of tho VERY FINEST NEW ee.
