All the papers deal specially with the Carnarvon Eisteddfod,and unite in the opinion -bh -c that it was one of the most successful ever held. The presence of Royalty afforded no charm to the Radical press, although it is admitted that foreigners will thank more highly of the Eisteddfod in consequence of the visit of the Prince of Wales and the Princesses. The enthusiastic loyalty of the Welsh people is not relished. '"The people went to.,Bangor, Bethesda, and Rhyl instead of the Eisteddfod," says the "Werin," and the "Celt" explains:—"The people went mad over Royalty. If Jesus Christ bad come to the Eisteddfod very little preparation would be made for his reception, and our preachers, priests, and members of Parliament would not bend hailf so low before Him as they did to the heir to the British throne." Some of the papers display lamentable ignorance of the history of the Eisteddfod. One of them expresses a hope that the Royal visit wiill help to remove the prejudices of the aristocracy against it. There are persons now living who remember the time when the aristocracy were almost the sole patrons of the Eisteddfod., and when the presence of a isonconionmst minister on its platform was a rare occurrence. It. is only S'ince tÜe masses have taken interest-in tthe Eisteddfod that the preachers have found it convenient to patronise it. Some of the bards were preachers, but they were looked upon with suspicion by the leaders of the sects. it is not many years since. a. monthly meeting condemned the Eisteddfod, and advise* members not to attend it! Strong feeling is' shown against the aristocracy and the landlord class. The following is an extract from the leading article of one off the papers :—"The Prince of Wales fell into the hands of a class for which the Welsh people have no respect. He was surrounded by Conservatives, and his liost is a great Con- servative. It was difficult to welcome the Prince whilst in such company. Another of the company was the Duke of Westminster, on whose face JS25,000 might be read. Then, again, there were Sir Watkin Wynn .&nd Sir John Puleston., whose backs are a, thousand times more acceptable than their fronts." The "Cymro" is responsible for the following:—"We are now at liberty to mention what we heara from scores of persons before, during, and after the Eisteddfod, namely, that all this fuss had a political object, although they do not believe that the Prince knew of it." Certain incidents of the Eisteddfod are freely criticised. General regret is expressed at the misfortune attending the performance of the oratorio, "Dewi Sant," by Mr. D. Jenkins, Mus. Bac. The morning meeting was so extended that it was nearly eight o'clock before the musical performance com- menced, and portions of it had to De omitted. The success of South Waliams in the competitions is much dwelt upon, and the number of prizes won by members of tne Independent denomination is a surprise. Ine "Tarian" says:—"We are not sorry to see the province in which we live so successful —especially since our North Wales friends are so prone to boast that the genius of Wales dwells among them." Cymro'' describes the Eisteddfod as that of "Double S—South and Sentars." who won the chief prizes. The South Wales correspondent of the "Baner" says that the Independents have lost sight of their feet, and are as stiff as stakes. The appearance of the bards in their robes is voted a great improvement. Forty- eight robes were presented to them by Lord Mostyn, and a few other noblemen and gentle- men, but the fact is very scantily recorded. "LUwdden" is universally praised for his eloquent speech, and strong appeals are made in favour of the exclusive use of Welsh at the meetings and concerts. "Mabon" is praised as conductor, and the famuiar terms existing between him and the South Walians are noticed. Whenever anyone spoke on the platform the question, "Pwy'n yw e, 'Mabon'?" was often heard. The "Genedi" refers to the blunders committed by English papers over the Welsh language, and says I that the "South Wales JDaily News" was one of the chief sinners. DISESTABLISHMENT. LORD EOSBBERY'S PROMISE. The promise of Lord Rosebe.ry to place Welsh Disestablishment the first measure on the programme of. business next year has been accepted with gratitude and delight by the 'Radical Welsh press, with the sole exception of the "Celt," which has aliways shown a spirit of independence whilst deal- I ing with the Welsh members. The <Ks- appoiiitment over former measures, coupled with the determined attitude of Church de- fenders, had a depressing: effect upon 'he disestablishment party, who caught at imy- tthiiig. Even a straw flo,a,ting on the stream is eagerly clutched at, in order to escape drowning. The following extract from the "Baner" is typical of the s-e Intents of the other papers —"The announcement by bar George Osborne Morgan at the recent meet- ing of the Welsh, party cannot but delight the heart of every Welshman who is groan- ing under the tyranny of the 'Estrones,' because of the hope it contains that the insufferable nightmare will soon be removed. Some small Irish measures. will be pushed forward a-lorngside of it, but ours will be the most important. We have waited long, and in vain, for this promise—and it was given by the Prime Minister himself to Sir George Osborne Morgan. We were be- coming anxious, and some doubted. Had the four revolters anything to do with ,t? We think so, and they deserve our rhanks. We now breathe more freely than we have (Vme for some time." This is how the "CeLt" has it:—"Here we have another pro- mise. Mr. D. A. Thomas had given notice of a question abo,ut disestablishment, and the Government know that he is not a man to be trifled with, and a promise was made that the question would be dealt with next year. It ts., amusing to witness the childish attempt of the 'South Wales Daily News' to justify the Government and blame the four Welsh' members. It is to them we are indebted for the promise, and there will have to be more revolts before it is re- deemed." The London correspondent of the paper writes thus:—Have you heard the latest?' said a member of Parliament to me the other day. 'What is it?' soid I. 'Rose- bery is going" to tell the Wetlsh patry, through Osborne Morgan, that disestablishment will be the first Bill next, session.' And so it was. The Welsh party met, and Mr. Alfred Thomas proposed a vote of thanks to the Premier, but failed to get a seconder. Speak- ing for myself, I am not going to expose myself to disappointment by placing faith in this promise. There have been so many promises made already, and broken, that one's personal dignity forbids placing confidence in them." "Gwailia" says: "Not many days are past when the Welsh members threatened the Government unless disestablishment was. taken in hand imme- ddately, but the fate of the Bill has been suddenly settled for a year. Some persons say that it is an easy matter for big men to please the Welsh people. Notwithstand- ing our abuse of them in their absence, they have only to smile upon us and, we are cap- tured. It is evident that Lord Rosebery has studied our character well. He sent a message to Sir G. Osborne Morgan, and every hardened Radical bows the knee, and is overwhelmed with gratitude because the Prime Minister made a verbal promise." THE "GENINEN" EOS JULY. The "Geninen" for Judy contains a number of able articles upon a variety of interest- ing subjects. Professor Anwyl leads with a finished essay on "'The Study of W e;sh Literature." He says, very truly;-— Much is talked about Welsh literature, but few, there is reason tiO fear, study it." Mf., D. Samuel, M.A., gives interesting narrative of corpse candles and other premonitory 'is- telligenoa of deaths and funerals peculiar to the Diocese of St. David's. These appari- tions are only seen by a few, and very re- markable proofs are given of their genuine- ness. The Rev. Peter Williams has a,second chapter on Wales as a, nation. "The Place and Influence of Music in Public Worship is ably treated by "Eos Llechid." Mr. John Morgan (Cadnant) furnishes interesting ex- planations of names of places. in Anglesey, among which is Lla-nfairpwllg-vyngyllgertro- bwliltysiliogogogoch. PrincipaJ Owen has a, masterly article on Mr. Asquith's Bill for the Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Church in Wales. It is the most ex- haustive treatise that has appeared on the subject, written in a fair spirit, and ought to be read by every Welshman. It wou'd be difficult for a devout Christian to rise from its perusal and approve of Mr. Asquith's measure. Notices of deceased ministers of religioii-a, special feature of the "Geninen" —are given, among whom are Dr. John Thomas, of Liverpool; the Rev. Thomas Aubrey, "le-uan o Leyn," and Archdeacon Evans. The usual variety of poetical effu- sions and literary remains add much to the interest of the magazine. It speaks volumes for the love of the Welsh people for souad literature that such a venture as the "Gen- inen" should prove a commercial success.

STORY OF CANNIBALISM. A horrible story of enforced cannibalism is contained in a report made to the American Treasury Department by Captain Healey, of the steamer Bear, in connection with the rescue of a portion of the crew of the American schooner James Allen from Omnak Island, on June 14. She left San Francisco on April 14, and was wrecked off. Amalia, Island, Alaska, on May 11. There was no time to provision or water the boats, as the vessel sank within twenty minutes after striking the. reefs. The crew of 49 left in five boats, and at daybreak the next morning but three boats were in sight. Those made for Amalia Island, where they remained a few days, and then started for Uralaska, a distance of 270 miles. On the passage' one boat was swamped and four men were drowned; another boat became so leaky it had to be abandoned. One man died on the way. All the remaining men, 26 in number, were crowded into one boat. This boat stopped at Umnak Island, where, on the following day, three of the men died from exposure. After several futile attempts Captain Huntley, with a crew of six, left for TJnalaska, which they readied on June 12, and a vessel immediately set out for Umnak Island to rescue the remaining men. The condition in which he found the men is told by Captain Healey as follows: — "They were found in a terrible condition. One man, Gideon, had died June 7, and the rest were in a starving condition. Mussels were scarce and the birds wild, so the men sa,id. They had given up all hope of ever being rescued, and were completely demoralised. The body of the man who had died June 7 they had eaten entirely. They had even dug up the body of one of those who had died two weeks previously and had partially consumed it. The trunk lay just outside the Barabara with the arms and legs out off, and portions of the meat were in the pot outside the door. No attempt had been made to hunt or to attract attention from seaward. Not even a mark had been set upon the bluff behind them. When found they lay around the ire in a hut doing nothing, looking at each other, with the blood of their shipmates on their hands and faces, and bones strewn about them on the floor. Not until the boats had landed and the door of the house been forced open did they know that help was at hand.

'RI!Ð'INl The son of Mr. Morgan Lewis, coal tipper at Porbhcawl, among others, found on Mon- day night a large quantity of blank cartridges on the common after the last camp, and in firing these Mr. Lewis's son received the flash in his face, blackening it very much and taking away the skin of both sdes of the face. The boy's wounds were dressed by Dr. Alexander. THE GREAT REMEDY. GO X £ a S. FOR GOUT, RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA. LUMBAGO, NEURALGIA.

The fourth fire since June 16 occurred in Devonport Dockyard on Friday night. Flames were seen proceeding from the sawmills, but owing to prompt action the fire was quickly extinguished. The official inquiry into the cause of these repeated fires has sat for four days, but no decision has been arrived at.

Canon Hoare, who died the other day, four or five years ago became blind: but it did not depress him. With the aid of readers he calmly set to work to learn the Bible by kearfc, and actually succeeded, when nearly 30. m committing much of it to memory. Nor. was his blindness allowed to interfere with study or with preaching. His family and friends read to him for several hours every day. and his sermons were prepared with sF the care and preached with all the fire of former days. An application was made to the Westminster County-court judge on Thursday in the case of Loftns v. Moore for the variation of an order by which defendant was to pay £ 5 a month.

Legs and arms are not wanted every day.—His Honour reduced the amount of the order. On the arrival of a train at Lyons the other day it was found that a baby one month old, who had been put to sleep on the seat of a third- class carriage, had been accidentally suffocated by a passenger, who, in going to sleep, had placed his arm across the poor little mite. The mother, who appears herself to have fallen asleep, was in despair, and rushed out of the carriage shrieking with the dead body in her arms. The man who had been the cause of the deplorable accident, a commercial traveller, was placed under arrest and charged with man- slaughter. Fleet-street and Ludgate-hill were consider- ably perturbed by the spectacle of a young man propelling himself by a new and curious method. He slid along on what appeared to be gigantic roller skates constructed on the pneumatic prin- ciple. Instead of small wooden rollers his skates, if they may be so described, had each four great wheels with pneumatic tyres, and were as large as a good-sized dinner-plate. They were fastened to his feet with strong straps, and appeared both clumsy and uncomfortable. The pedestrian-skater managed, however, to get along with wonderful ease and rapidity, and his progress was watched with interest as he steered his way through the street traffic. In the Divorce Court on Friday afternoon Walter Wright, professional cricketer, Maid- stone, obtained a decree nisi for a divorce by reason of Mrs. Wright's adultery with co-re- spondents named Frost and Connolly.
