---------I THE GROWING TROUBLES…
THE GROWING TROUBLES OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE. THE CzAR of Russia, who, when a young man, was looked upon as one of the hand- somest of his time, is reputedly the saddest man of mature years in Europe at this moment. And his troubles grow at the heart of the Empire as well as at its ex- tremities. On the first day of the new year, he attended the principal cathedral of the Russian capital, in commemora- tion of the crossing of the Balkans by his troops this time twelvemonth. No doubt, the CZAR is proud of his soldiers, and whatever some men may think of th« cause for which they fought, no one can deny them bravery of the first order, in facing the I Balkans amid snow and frost of the most severe character. It had, indeed, become a military axiom in the Wellingtonian military school that Generals Frost and Snow were the Turks' best allies in winter; that they were practically unconquerable, and that an invading army which attempted to cross the Balkan Passes in the depth of winter was simply seeking destruction. The Russian soldiery have disproved all that, and no candid man now denies to them all the qualities of endurance, courage, and patience which the best soldiers of Central Europe can claim. At the moment the CZAR was giving thanks for the victory of his soldiery, and, as one might expect, invoking blessings on the Russian Empire at the advent of a new year, the startling news was being telegraphed that the Mahomedan Tartars of Kazan had re- volted, from an impression that Russia was forcibly seeking to make them Chris- tians. According to REUTER'S agency the authorities of the Kazan district had pro- posed to attach bells to the mosques lo guide travellers home in view of the preva- lent snowstorms. Simultaneously, instruc- tions had been issued to the Russian priests warning them against the daDger of christen- 0 ing children either in hot or cold water. Instructions were also sent, it appears, to the Mullahs (or Tartar priests), who thought it was intended to christen Tartar children. The writer of these instructions from the Chancellery was beaten almost to death, and the Mullahs harangued the Tartars. Before order was restored, 200 individuals were castigated in presence of the troops. It was a religious feeling similar to this which gave rise to the Indian mutiny and the combination of circumstances narrated as coming into play simultaneously in the Kazan district, indicates, to our mind, more than accident Holy Russia has a weakness for conversion at the point of the bayonet, as in Poland, which men of the present generation am not lilrplv tfyrnai But, as if the Kaaan incident was not enough of trouble from without, at the beginning of the year, yet another was added to it. It was intimated at St. Petersburg, on New Year's Day. that a.n insurrection had broken out among the recently-annexed Adjarts, originating in their refusal to pay the tenth part of their crops to the Russians, on the ground that they have ulready paid it to the Turks. The result of this was that a member of the Medilis and GRILA AGA., assistant of TCHERIF Bey, were killed. The poor people of the annexed districts were clearly within their rights in objecting to pay their taxes twice over; and, although the military force of Russia has crushed them for the moment, they are not likely to remain quiescent if an opportunity offered itself. In this sense, every new Mahomedan conquest is a possible danger to Russia for supposing a Nihilist insurrection to become dangerous at the heart of the Empire, disaffection would then become easy at the extremities. Every day adds to the possibility of Nihilism becoming quickened with the fires of tho first French revolution. The students- the emissaries either of intelligence or of discontent in all countries-aro being treated with a severity which is incompre- hensible even for Russia. What is really noteworthy is the fact, that it is not the students of one College or University, or of one department of university-tuition, that are in revolt. The students of a veterinary institute at Charkoff originated the recent movement; and they have been followed by the medical, the technological, the legal, and all other students in St. Petersburg. To the complaints of the Russian students that they are unjustly and unfairly treated, the answer takes the shape of arrests and im- prisonment. The CZAR himself, reputedly. humane, is understood to have declared that the young men must be taught the lesson of obedience and hence hundreds have been deported to Siberia. Proverbially, if the sore is not dressed, the wound will ..remain open; and if no remedy is sought, the BtudenW grievance will remain. In this there is much danger, especially as the Nihilist propaganda is vigorous and vigilant. It seems to have a press of its own and to be able to use the post-office as it chooses. One who al located in St. I\jtersbu.„, aid who has watched the Niftifttfc movement grow,t declares that secret printing presses exist in Sc. Petersburg, Moscow, aad OJCG- S: a have existed for three years. Nay more, the Nihilist Junta must liave a secret service of messengers and bill-stickers; for manifestoes and proclamations era I gent round at irracular intervals to the newspaper offices, at well as placarded on the walls of public edifices, aad the hoard- ings of houses in process of constructions. As the St. Petersburg guardians of the police are supposed to be extremely vigilant, the presumption not unnaturally is, that even among the ranks of the police, there must be pro-Nihilist sympathisers. The English reader is apt to ask-What does Nihilism niom ? Its meaning varies, no donbt, with individuals. Some contend for the destruc- tion of the wealthy classes in Russia, and the equal distribution of property. These are irre- concilablea, and perhaps count for less than the more practical agitators who demand three specific reforms, in the shape of free- dom for the press, guarantees against arbi- tary arrest, and the creation of a represent- ative legislative assembly. The great diffi- culty is the creation of a Parliament, for the CZAR is not willing to limit his power, which, at present is absolute. Then the Russian nobility are not willing to enfran- chise the masses. If therefore, a free par- liament is dangerous to the powers that be in Russia, a free press is equally so, while the right of arbitary arrest is about the only thing left to the police. Trial by jury, is practically in abeyance. Russia is, conse- quently, in the position of a country under a muzzle. There is not even the semblance of an arrangement between the hostile powers. The Russian administratorr appear determined to keep the present system in operation, without concession of any kind, for in the oflicial mind a little concession is equal to Jetting in the streamlet which, may grow to a flood. Russia, therefore, is in a most unenviable condition, within and without. If pressure arises at the heart and extremities co-equally, no one can predict the resnlt. It has been hitherto thought that the CZAR'S headship of the Greek Church threw a species of sanctity over him, but that apparently counts for little with the more daring secLion of the Nihilists, who cry out for the sweep- ing aside of the Romanoff dynasty. That, however, is a result which, in any case, we do not expect. The CZAIt has certainly the confidence of the Russian army, and, as he dispenses the favours of his Church, it may be taken for certain that he will have the undivided support of the priesthood of the Greek Church. Nothing but con- cession can save Russia from the fires and bloodshed of revolution. Eng- lish newspaper-readers will admit that things are being carried to an extreme length in Russia, when the police and gendarmes are permitted to enter factories at any time for the purpose of searching the premises, and making personal arrests if they think well to do so. This kind of terrorism has been operating for nearly four months. The effect, as may be imagined, is to make the humbler classes antagonistic to the police." Add to these the pronounced Nihilists, the discontented students, and the disappointed Panslavists, and we have a pretty kettle of fish hi reality.
--------ABERDARE LOCAL BOARD…
ABERDARE LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. Thursday, the usual bi-monthly meeting of this board was attended by Messrs R. A. Iihvs 1 (chairman), D, E. Williams, Evan Thomas, W. Ihoraas, 1). Davws (Canon-street), D. Davies (Canton House) D. E. Williams, 1). P. Davies, u LI. financial committee in its report recommended that before any article abovfe the value of £ 1 be purchased, the prices of several tradesmen be obtained. The report was adopted, and the recommendation agreed to.— i ? lnsPec.t«r of Nuisances reported that there La been no fresh case of scarlet of typhoid fever fortnight, and no deaths. The district was now free of either.—(The Chairman JtleAr, heir.)-The Inspector further reported that ,Alr l,ewiti Williams', Mill-street, Trecynon, house at iSo. 47, Mill-street, occupied by Mary Williams, lier three daughters, and two children, was unfit for human habitation. The attention of the medical officer was called to the house.- -The Chairman said lie wised to call the im spectors attention to a nuisance in the Taff Vale railway station at Aberdare, On Monday morn- ing last he was going by train, and being ct, the station rather early he went into the waiting room. No sooner had he t down than he perceived a most abominable swell-it was something hideous. He asked if there was a door there leading to some other place, and was told there was. He presumed the closets were in a most abominable ..t.a-h to oivp. anyone the seeda of tvnhnid if he sat there for ten minutes. He went out im- mediately, and he would swear he did not »et the smell out of his nostrils for five minutes. Hecon- sidereu it WM most disgr;scefut"% the company to alio A- then- waiting room to be such a stato. — lhe Bo.i.d agreed, aud the insDector waa immediately despatched to see to the removal of the nuisance. The Surveyor reported that owing to the severe frost there had been a large number of lamps out at night reoeatiy. He added that an abatement would be claimed from Uie Gas Corapany.-The Chairman said there had been 'a- tremendous escape of gas near the schools in Mill-street. It was alto stated that the pipes had ex- ploded there close to, but beneath, the meter under the gas lautl,Tiie Chair- man said it would be in their recollectioa tlirt that day fortnight a notice was signed for the pur- pose of being served upon Mr Morgan Williams' representatives as to obtaining the land in High- street for the High-street improvement. The notice w., served, and in a day or two afterwards they received a notice from their solicitor, Mr Morris, of Cardiff, givin, notice that they required it to take the whole of the premises, and that they fixed the price at £3,000 if they elected to go to arbitration. He considered this was a monstrous claim, and an attempt to get rid of the property, He told Mr Gery to write at once to Mr Morgan, and inform him that he felt it to be his duty to ask the board to pass a renolu- tion that in the event of their persisting in their claim they would only carry the improvement so far as tboe premises. He begged to move "that in consequence of the demand made for the property, that thev do not proceed with the improvements, °?r-n-SO M t!ie property referred to. Mr D.E. Williams seconded the proposition. Mr Evan Thomas Then the improvement will be aban- doned ? The Chairman Yes, uuon the property; it will only be earned on up to it. Then I think they will see the folly of what they ask. I had hoped to c'lrry out the whole, but that portion must be abandoned. I would not be madl enough to advise the board to agree to each a claim.—In reply to Mr Thomas, the Chairman said there could be no objection to state the amount they had offered for the strip of land they required. It was EM. By carrying out the improvement he was sure it would inere-i-se the value of the two houses by B15 or 220 a year. He thought they had better proceed and make the improve- ment as soon as the final arrangements for the other portions of the property had been completed, and abandon the other portion. The board generally agreed that the claim was exorbitant, and the proposition of the Chairman was agreed to.—The Chairman said the next matter was the filling up of the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr Roberts.—Mr D. E. Williams proposed that Mr John Williams be elected, a proposition which was seconded by Mr D. P. Davies. Agreed to utuuuiuously. The contract between the board and Messrs Hill and Dunn, for the canying out of the Abernant-road improvement, was laid on the table, swid the seal affixed thereto. Soniq ether business was disposed of and the board broke tip.
DUFFRYN AND GRAIG SCHOTT BOARD.
DUFFRYN AND GRAIG SCHOTT BOARD. To the B&Uqr of the SOUTH WALKS DATLY SIB,'—I have something more to say fei ''f 'njji to the above school board, if you will kindiy me a little space. Some time ago your wjre informed by Mr Wade, the clerk, that had consulted Mr Stratton, who gave hild rA understand that he had obtained the opinio* oounsel as to the validity of the election ot tember lltli, 1878, by only two members. We however, still in the dark as to how the represented to him. A,' Since then I have been challenged to show illegality of the proceedings, and I thought tbl best thing I might do would ha to obtain opinion of counsel, which I am hbppf t > say I have done. At the same »* I must say that I had no doubt in niy mind as to the illegality of the alleged elecjjj before I took this course. The opinion of who have spoken to me on the question, and others (not a few) who have written to amongst them clerics of school boards, is tha* whole proceeding was irregular and illegal* order to »how that I have not presented a sided case to counsel, I will here quote two ot < letters which I submitted to them, namely tj»a the clerk to the Education Department, and a*" my own [Copy.] 107R. l~th September, Sir,—On receipt of your letter of the j ultimo, desiring that my board proceed to hi > the vacancies caused by the disqualificationJ* Robert Nurse and the resignation of Mr Phillips, I convened a speeial meeting .J members for the 24th ult. for that purpose, B"1 none of the members attended. I subsequently convened a special meeting Saturday, the 7th inst,, at which only two wool bers—Messrs Stratton and Jones—attended, c° seqnently no business was done, there not a quorum present. I afterwards duly conve*T another special meeting for Wednesday, the 1*. inst., at which Mr Stratton, the vice-chairing Mr Jones, and Mr Morgan (being all the existial members), were present. Mr Stratton was in tlo chair. Before the minutes of the last mse ijj fould be read, a discussion took place between members present aa to filling up the vacancies^ being suggested that one Churchman and one V* senter should be proposed, when Mr stated that, as one of the parsons intended to<■ proposed to fill up the vacancies was a man, he would retire from the meeting, and *• he would not vote unless two Nonconformists proposed, and he thereupon left the meeting. }■ other two members, considering that the ineeti k was duly constituted, determined to proceed the business for which the meeting was convene^ The minutes of the last meeting wero then re and signed by the chairman, and a resolution? that Mr Edward Davies, of Bassaleg. solic,1^ and Mr Thomas Jones, of Pontnewydd v ajjrj- Bassaleg, farmer, be appointed as members of1 j board to fill up the vacancies, was proposed carried. Having regard to Rule 1, paragraph I of the 3rd schedule to the EducatJ « Act, 1870, and paragraph (F) of the jj schedule to the Act of 1873, 1 shall be ? "2 to have the opinion of the Education 5 as to_ the validity of the resolution passed at Jj meeting of my board above referred to, and a^S directions the Department may think proper pf give for my guidance in the matter. yot, Nvl. observe there was the proper constituted quortit at the commencement of the meeting, but vvile the resolution was passed only two members we" present. (Signed) WM. WADE, Clerk. i The Secretary, Education Department." I rCopv.1 ft Duffryn and Graig School Board, ■ Bassaleg, Newport, Mon., Sept. 20th, 187 B8aleg, Nioii., Sept. 20th, 181 Sir,—I beg to say that I am a member of above School Board, and have been since 5 formation in 1874, when three Nonconform"- were returned with a large majority, InJuR 4 1877, the present board was formed witl- out a contest, when it was mutually distinctly understood that a majority ft Nonconformists should constitute the bos Early this year Mr Thomas, clerk in Holy order one of the inembers, resigned, and Air Jones. j' present vicar of Bassaleg, wa3 elected in fL stead, who was proposed and secouued by Nonconformist members. Subsequently, Nurse and Phillips (two Nonconformist Illern were disqualified, ,which was made known to Education Department, and an order wasrecei to fill the vacancies. On the 11th meeting of the board was summoned by the ci to fill the vacancies. I efttered the room at » appointed time, and before the minutes of » last meeting were iead and confirmed, I felt I my duty to withdraw on account of the Prese. members insisting upon having a inaiority Churchmen, and thereby breaking an arrang ment come to at the last triennial electio> I informed them I should do so. To-day I ^earnrn. upon inquiry that after I withdrew the two bers, Messrs Stratton and Jones, had the min"~° read and confirmad, and afterwards proceeded the election of members, I respectfully wis.h ask whether it was competent for two membe being less than a quorum, to proceed in the ner state! above?—(.Signed)—J. MOB;AN, tist Minister." The Secretary, Education partment.. ii In addition to these two letters, which contain the facts necessary to the ca3e, and which are D disputed by anyone, I also 'd before two ot counRel, a copy of the mi" ites of the meeting o ,I the 11th of September, IS/8, when u,f" disputes elation took and at the request 01 one the gentlemen I obtained for him a copy of tf order, sent to the clerk from the Education LM 1 partment, directing the filling up of one of t. ( vacancies, in which the following rule is down :—"If any casual vacancy in the office oi member of a school board occurs by death, j nation, disqualiifcation, or otherwise, 8U. j vacancy may be filled by the re,rna' 0 ing members of the school board,- a quorum, at a special meeting of board called for the purpose." Mr B. T. V> ^Mtr M.P., Q.C., writes thus—"Re Duffryn and «r School Board.—I am clearly of opinion that election of members to casual vacancies two members was au illegal aud improper eleCTi and that the members so elected have no rigiy act as members of the board. The third to the Education Act, 1876, expressly pr°v1^ that such an election must be made by a 9aorUu!i and the Education Act of 1870, in its third sctie dule (d), defines a quorum to consist of not le than three members of the board. The illegan of the proceedings detailed in the case ia beyon 1 question.—B. T. WILLIAMS." I may here mention that Mr Williams is himsei 1 chairman of a school board, which necessarily giv 1 additional weight to what he writes. Mr Richard Booth, barrister-at-law at Lincoln Inn, says :The facts in reference to the Is attempted election to the Duffryn and GrM School Board have been laid before me. I am < opinion that the meeting which purported to e Messrs Edward Davies And Thomas Jones VF not a meeting legally constituted within the in? of the third schedule to the Education Act » 1876, there having not been a quorum presfjL ■ when the alleged election took place. I think that the proceedings at such meeting be declared void if recourse were had to an i#^ mation in the nature of a quo warrant. Booth also writes to me in reference to a counsel, to whom the whole case was bubn,, My dear sir,—I enclose you my opinion IB *~» ference to tne late school board election ('1 j0v!fi above). I may add for your private t# that Mr Q. C., agrees with that opinion, I have no authority to give publicity to his t swnct sand the opinion as our joi*d opiniof?} Mr Q.C.. told me yesterday that case had been laid in a formal manner Mr B. T. Williams, Q.C., and in 110 gentleman's opinion he entirely i. Alas, another Queen's Counsel, making the t,hirJ. who had the whole case laid before l¡:\j,j-U'ua# name, however, I have no authority t<' Publish j writes thus :— J "Nov. 15, 1878. Dear Sir,—It struck me aftj I wrote to you that if I could see a copy of t*J order of the Education Office, directing the fillip up of the vacancies ia the school board, it mif?"Jr throw new light on what seems to n:8, a* 1 stands, to be a most extraordinary proceeding.i Having reoeived a copy of the said order, again writes:- Nov, 21, 1878. Dear Sir -I have read throJ, the papers which you enclosed, and which I rotuij*! It certainly seems to me that the election of 11th September, 1878, was void, not upon ground that a binding agreement for the electi £ | ot a certain proportion of Churchmen and D1, senters had been entered into (for such an ment would have bad no legal validity %-hate but upon the ground that the election was made by a quorum of the board." I was strongly advised by some of friends to submit the case to Jf, Chamberlain, M.P. I acted upon th advice, and received the following ef) fC November 21, 1878.—Dear Sir,—I have recei and very carefully read your very cl6P" statement in reference to the proceeding at your school board. On the face this statement, it is evident that there has booll breach of au honourable understanding on "•? part of the former minority of the board. I thlD. also there is very little doubt that their conddj* has been illegal, and might be upset on appeal »* the Queen's Bench.—(Signed) J. ChamqbUjAIN- I am entitled now to ask, how cau Mr Strattv and his colleague feel "perfectly justified" in tri action which they took on the 11th of last Sen tember ? and I will further ask, is it not most extraordinary proceeding to do a to-day, and ask if it be le-ral to-morro^J As to the gentlemen who, according to the opilljol already quoted, were illegally elected, I will xi4 how can they act act as members of the DufTrjJ. and Graig School Board ? One of these gentlero<*J especially must be fuily aware of the significant of the "opinions quoted above; but in justice him, however, I would mention that at first H was not aware of the circumstances uyder whfc'j he was elected, but they are perfectly well knoJ*| to him now. As for the public, they have now t best legal authority for regarding the alleged elelt tion as null and void.—I am, &c., I J. MORGAN. I Bassaleg, January 2nd, 1879.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1879. ,3…
FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1879. ,3 At St. Donate' Castle, the last hours of the Old Year and the first hours of the New were very pleasantly spent. By five o'clock the ancient hall cf the Castle was filled by the tenants and the church choir, invited thither by Dr. and Nfra Stradling Came. Grace was sung before and after dinner by the choir of upwards of 30 voices. The entertainment lasted until the beginning of the New Yeaq. and was concluded by a very fine display of fireworks in the quadrangle of I the castle. At the Carmarthenshire Quarter-sessions, yesterday, it was rasolred, on the motion of Viscount"Iffiulyn, to enquire of tho Home Secretary the reason for granting a pension to the chaplain bt the )sr:>n, who, the .nolle viscount said, ILHI r.i !iotired com- ¡ pulsorily, and had o' served 20 years. I The High Constable of Tredegar presided yesterday at a meeting held there, for the purpose of taking into consideration the ex- I isting distress, some 250 men being out of employment. A relief committee was At Sirhowy the ironworks, belonging to tho Ebbw Vale Company, which have been in eontinnous work for a century, have now been stopped. The furnaees are blown out, This is in consequence of the general depres- sion in trade, and the slow market for pig iron. We print to-day reports from several dis- tricts with respect to the relief of the neces- sitous poor in South Wales, and the usual Christmas and New Year's presentations. The strike of boilermakers and fitters of Ebbw Vale, against a 10 per cent. reduc- tion m wages, still continues. Other work- men are on strike against an increase of working hours.

By a dispatch from Cape Town we learn that in consequence of a boat accident at East London seven persons have been drowned. In all, 13 men were precipitated into the water. According to the Times correspondent at Paris, the experiment, tried during the ex- hibition, of keeping open public-houses until one o'clock instead of closing them at midnight, has not endangered morality or public security. The hours of opening in I future will not, therefore, be curtailed. The panic at Constantinople, be it caused however it may, is producing ruinous effects upon public credit and confidence. The Ottoman Bank is endeavouring to check the depreciation of the paper currency. Endeavours, are being made to procure assistanoe for the Bosinan refugees who have returned to their own country, but find no home there. They are lurking, it is said, in the forests, where they die in thous- ands for the want of food and shelter. The alliance of the Princess Thyara and the Duke of Cumberland is likely to offer to Germany the opportunity which she has, it is said, long wanted of picking a quarrel with the Danish Kingdom, and enacting over again the story of the wolf and the lamb. Germany objected to the formalities of the Duke's reception at the period of the royal wedding, and now there is some talk of withdrawing the German Envoy if cer- tain concessions be not made. At the same time a German newspaper announces that if any trouble arises in connection with the Brunswick succession, Germany will know how to nip it in the bud.

RHYMNEY LOCAL BOARD. The monthly meeting of this board was held on Wednesday, present Messrs 1). Evans (chairman), H. V. Trump, D. Abrahams, Mr J. A. Shepard (clerk) and W. Lloyd Marks (surveyor). The medical officer of health reported that the number of deaths during the quarter was 41-15 males and 26 females, or at the rate of 10'06 per 1,000 per annum, which is a very favourable rate for the district, and much under the average rate for the whole of England and Wales. Special regard was paid to the newly annexed districts of Jjlangynider, where it was stated were a number of dwelling-houses unfit for hnman habitation, and some cases of overcrowding were reportsd, as well as the existence of nuisances. One case of typhoid fever was re- ported to have occurred in the district, caused by a cask of pig-wash near the house. Thh was ordered to he removed. One case of scarlatina was also reported upon. Its origin could not be traced, but the spread of It was prevented bv oil- inn and disinfecting the p-.vtiont's body. Three cases of measles were referred to, but they were mild ones. Ot whoouin^ cough there were a.j many as 120 cases or more, with three deaths": and chicken-pox 40 or 50 oases. The weather had been the most severe for many years, and the number of cu-sos of diseases of the lungs amonfrst the old and young WHS "above the average. The water supply of the new district was derived from wells and a spout, and was of a fair quality, and not liable to contamination. The death rate for that portion of the district was 24"63 per 1,000 per annum, The necessary orders were ordered to be made.

STORY OF THE COINS IN THE.…
STORY OF THE COINS IN THE CARDIFF MUSEUM. [BY THE REV. W. E. WINKS.] FIFTH ARTICLE. Starting to-day with the eighth row, we notice the first coin, which is one struck in honour of iElius Verus, the adopted son of Hadrian, and after whom he is said to have waited the ne* city, built upon the ruins of Jerusalem, zElis Capi- tolina. -Elius Verus was named or "made" Csesar, in anticipation of his coming to the throne after Hadrian's death, an anticipation dis- appointed by his death a short time before that of his patron. This coin shows the face of Ælius, and has for its legend AELIVS CAESAR GERM. The choice of the Emperor now fell on Titus AuraHus Fulvras. with whom a stipulation was made that he should name as his successors, Marcus Aurelius and Lucius, the son of JSlius (named above). By this agreement about his successors, Hadrian, who, as we have already aeea, had very exalted ideas of the res- ponsibility of his position as Roman Emperor, sought to consolidate and establish the monarchy of the empire. Our coin.case will illustrate the fact that Hadrian's wishes were duly fulfilled, for all three of theie nominees of the Emperor Hadrian held the office of Imperator, First of all we have Titus Aurelius, who reigned as the Emperor Aniouinus Pius for 23 years, from 138 to 161, A.D. The beneficial effects of Hadrian's wise and powerful administration were felt during this reign. Antoninus had also adopted the policy of his predecessor, and administered affairs with much ability. He was a lover of peace, and had no desires of an ambitious and aggressive character. Indeed, it is reported that when a barbarous tribe, desirous of being included in the Empire for the sake of protection, appealed to him to annex their territory, they were refused. While the army was maintained in full force the want of military enterprise destroyed its energy, and, rendering the soldiers effeminate and luxuri- ous, paved the way for future troubles. Britain was "pacified," and its entire subjection to Rome secured in the time of Antoninus. A coin was struck to celebrate the event, having the inscrip- tion BRITANNIA, and a figure of Mars, the God of War, tranquilly seated on a rock. This symbol is the original from which our modern figure of Britannia was adopted in the reign of Charles the Second. If the reader has a penny or halfpenny in his pocket he may at once glance at the proud figure of Britannia, and connect it in his thought with the ancient Roman memorial of the pacifica- tion of Britain under Antoninus Pius. Antoninus showed mercy towards, the Christians during his tenure of power, and even sought to protect them against the assaults of the populace who endeavoured to fasten on them the responsi- bility for several public c Jamities which happened at this time. Papias, Bishop of Hierapolis; Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, the disciple of the Aoostle John; and Justin-Martyr lived during this reign. The famous "Apology for Christian- ity," written by the last of these, was very influ- ential in securing toleration for the Christians under the mild and just rule of Antoninus Pius. The first two coins of this emperor have the reverse exposed, and shew his effigy, with the head crowned with laurel. A good idea of the face may be got from these coins. Next to these is a reverse, on which a figure of Piety is repre- sented holding a child aloft in each hand, while other children stand on either side. The legend is Pictas, with tho letters S, C. Senatus Consul- to, by consent of the Senate, stamped above the figure of Piety. The next fhe coins are of Faustina, the wife of Antoninus. The less said of the character of this bad woman and unworthy wife of a good man and true husband, the better. Although she died within three yeard of her husband's accession, her coins are very numerous, and may be met with in most collections. Spite of her profligate character, Antoninus prevailed on the Senate to grant her divine honours. She was accordingly styled Diva Faustina the goddess Faustina." One redeem- in!? feature of her character may be mentioned. She was the first Empress who patronised orphans,and established an asylum or refuge for them. Hedirst coin shows a good face, and the hair done in a style wonderfully like that now iu vogue, a striking proof of the correctness of the seemingly cynical remark that new fashions are only old ones re- vivc l." The hair is drawn back from the fore- head. and made up into a plain nob behind. A close scrutiny may detect the effect of crisping pinil in the >\avey "set" of the hair on the side8 Tlie second coin hail a representation of Faustina in the company of four orphans, her little pro- teges of the orphanage. The third has Div rauaLlna, the goddess Faustina, fo its legend. This and the remaining two of her coins have the hair represented as coitfed or enclosed in a kind of net, and somewhat elaborately braided and plaited, and in this circumstance we see how rapidly fashions changed in the old days, as in the new. Augusta Faustina may be read on the last of these coins of the wife of Antoninns Pins. We have seen that Antoninus promised Hadrian that Marcus Annius Verus (Marcus Aurelian) and Lucius Vei-us should succeed him. This promise Antoninus faithfully kept; indeed, during the latter years of his life he admitted Marcus to a share of the government, but he nover conferred the same honour on Lucius, for the character of Lucius would not bear compari- son with that of Marcus, The character of Marcus Aureliu", whoso coins are next in order, is certainly one of the most remarkable, from a moral point of view. to be met with in Roman— and, in fact, in all ancient—history. Hadrian had been struck with the fine qualities and great promise of the youthful Marcus Verus, and was wont to say he should not be called Verus—the Latin word lov tr-ue, genuine, but Verissimus, that is, most true, most genuine. He belonged to the most sensible and practical school of philosophy, the Stoics, and has been termed the flower of the Stoical philosophy." It would be a hard task to fiud even among the Christians of his time one who possessed a deeper sense of duty, a loftier moral purpose, a stricter integrity. He was abso- lutely truthful and just. Hia humanity and ten- derness were often displayed in the most marked and generous manner, even toward his enemies. As an example of Lis magnanimity, his conduct in the affair Aviiius Cassius may be cited. Cassius had rebelled, seized Asia Minor, and was assassinated. When the friends of the Emperor sent him the traitor's head, he rejected the shocking gift, and expressed his regret that the fates had not granted him his dearest wish, to forgive the man who had con- spired against him. He refused to read the papers of Cassius tnat he might not suspect any others who had joined in the conspiracy, forgave the nobles who tided with the revolted provinces, and treated their people in the most gentle and gracious Spirit. jfaroiiS A<IV«"« IrYtf" feu thus ia.i- tic in all departments of study, and, like Caesar, followed his studies and wrote some of his beat works amid the excitements and confusion oi his campaigns. Tiie famous work "Eis Heauton," containing the noblest and purest maxims of Stoical wisdom, was:, written while with his armv during the expedition 1 against the Marcommani-a German tribe whose incursions into the Roman Empire had created the greatest alarm in Rome. But we must not omit to men- tion his hostility to the Christians. Many reasons have been given to account for his persecution of a religious people whose pure teaching and blame- less lives a man like Aurelius ought to have been foremost to appreciate. Some attribute this hoa- tility to Stoical pride, and contempt for their en- thusiasm others hold that he regarded the sect as politically dangerous, and others, with perhaps deeper truth, attribute his conduct to zeal for the pagan philosophy which, he had so warmly espoused. At all events, many notable martyr- doms mark this reign. At Smyrna the aged Poly- carp, the disciple of the apostle John, died at the stake, because he would not consent to blaspheme the name of Christ. When promised life if he would do so, the venerable saint exclaimed, Ei-'hty-and-aix :years have I served Him, and He never did me any wrong, .how can I deny my Kin" that has saved me T At Lugdunum and Vienna, Bp. Pothinus died of his sufferings in prison at 90 years of age, Blandina, a delicate Ln.]. slave, was roasted in a red-hot chair, and thrown to the wild beasts—yet amid all her sufferings exclaimed perpetually, "I am a Christian, and there are no evil practices among us •" Ponticus, a boy, fifteen years of age, showed similar fortitude. Strange that the man who was accounted greatest among the heathen should have tolerated such barbarities. Well may John Stuart Mill cite his example as a warning aeainst even the best of men interfering with liberty of thought on religious matters. Let us turn from this strange defect in the character of Aurelius to notice his conduct as emperor of Rom8. Although he was offered the. sole sove- reignty of. the Ernplre by the Senate, he refused to accept it. and to the last shared the govern- ment with the unworthy and profligate Lucius Verus, to whom ne gave his daughter Lucilla in marriage. Humphreys says—"their joint rule is the finest example of the kind in the annals of the Roman Empire "—a fact frequently recorded by various types, both of Roman and Greek Im- perial mintage. M, Aurelius reigned 161-183, A.D., Lucius Verus died in 169. Our first coin of this reign is ex- posed on the obverse. The face of the Emoeror is a very fine one, and the legend reads= IMP CAES M UREL ANTONINUS, AUG., P.M., the Emperor Csesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus Pontifex Maximus. The reverse of this coin shows Marcus and Lucius facing each other, and has on ;t the words, CONCORD AUGUSTA, i.e., Sacred friend- ship." The next is a copy of a medallion, having on the reverse two nude horsemen mounted, and a soldier in advance, and another behind bearing a standard. Following this is a coin struck in honour of Faustina, junr., wife of Mareus Aurelius, and daughter of Faustina, wife of Antoninus Pius. Tiie style of the hair will again draw the attention of lady visitors. It is evident that Faustina, j mOl had not followed the counsel of tha apostle Peter with regard to plaiting the hair," nor,indeed, ean she be said to have followed the jpori counsel of anyone else, not even her 0 n husband like Athalia, who partook of the siu of her mother Jezebel, the youthful Faustina fol- lowed the evil. ways of the piofligate wife of Antoninus. Nevertheless, Aurelius paid her great honours. And this coin before us now Wars the flattering legend AUGUSTA FAUSTINA, i.e., the august or sacred Faustina 1'' Next to this comes a coin of Lucius Verus, joint emperor with Aurelius, and the last in this row and the first in the next are coins of Lucilla, l the wife of Lucius Y., and daughter of M. Aureliuse
