Its claims Iwe been tested and proved by the medical profession and others. and corroborated by the written testimonials of emiaent men. The Quinine Bines contain not only a suitable quantity of Quinine in each dose, but the active principles of the following well-known herbs—saraparilla, saffron. gentian. lavender, daudelion, and burdock. The use of Quinine is well-known, but it has never been satisfactorily combined with these preparations, until, after overcoming considerable difficulties, the Proprietor was able to secure a perfectly uniform preparatioa, combining all the essen- tial properties of the above plants in their n eatest purity and concentration. It is now established as a family medicine, and is increasing in popular favour the more it is known and tested.

(Casualties 47 j THE DOROTHEA QUARRY ACCIDENT RELIEF HU ND. OWING to the calamity which occurred at the above Quarry, when seven men were killed and another badly injured, a considerable number of sympathizers met together to consider what could be done to aid the afflicted families, consisting of seven widows and twenty- two orphans, who have been left quite unprovided for and the only one saved is so severely hurt tha.t he will be totally disabled for a considerable time. Six of the men arc still under the debris and covered by fathoms of water; and a considerable time will elapse before the bodies can be recovered. As the fatality is without precedent in the Nt.ntlle Quarries, and thus naturally creates more sympathy, it was resolved to appeal to the Public for their kind support.

------LIBERAL ORGANIZATIONS.
LIBERAL ORGANIZATIONS. AT this time, when a change of so much importance and of so radical a character in the electoral machinery of the country is about being effected, it is evident that political associations have a great work before them, and it behoves every Liberal Association especially to be prepared for such contingencies as may arise under the altered state of things. The Conservatives are, as usual, noting carefully the signs of the times," and are accor- dingly earnestly bestirring themselves in active measures for organizing their forces with a view to secure the interests of the party. We, however, :are more con- cerned as to what the Liberals are doing for the purpose of adapting their organizations to the new state of things. Procrastinat-ion is the greatVeakness of: Liberals they are too apt to al'ow themselves to fall into a state of self- complacent satisfaction with the victories they win, and drift into inertness and indifference, and often when a crisis comes they are taken by surprise and unprepared—their forces in disorder, and their organizations out of joint with the particular exigencies of the occasion. Why this should be so invariably the charac- teristic of Liberalism, it is difficult to under- stand. The Tories are always able to steal a march upon the Liberals in any case of political emergency, owing to the invariably superior compactness of their organizations. Things in Wales in this respect are not an exception to those which prevail in other parts of the kingdom. Our wish, however, is to sound a note of warning, and to call the attention of Welsh Liberals to the urgent necessity there is just now for overhauling the various exist- ing organizations, and seeing to their being up to the special requirements of the new electorates. It will be necessary for the con- stitution of every Liberal Association throughout the country to undergo a thorough re-arrange- ment. The foundations of the political superstructure are altered, hence it cannot be too soon to adapt the building to the newibases. But in some cases jaot only have the bases been altered, but the boundary lines as well; such is the case with regard to Denbighshire and Car- narvonshire. These counties are placed in a peculiar position by the process of division they are, as regard their electorate, to undergo. This calls for a corresponding change in the composition of their respective political asso- ciations. Take for example the Carnarvonshire Liberal Association. This agency acts as one for registration and general purposes, but acts I as two in cases of peculiar importance, such as the election of candidates, &c. Evidently, this arrangement cannot continue any longer Henceforth, the work required can only be done by three distinct associations, one for each electoral division of the county, and one for the borough. Whilst Carnarvon was the political centre of both the borough and county constituency, it was easy enough for the one association to act for both. Not so now. It cannot be expected that the northern division will look to Carnarvon as its centre, seeing the latter is situated outside of its boundary. Furthermore, Carnarvon itself being situated in a corner of the southern division, it is but natural to expect that that division even will look to having the basis of its operation situated more centrally. For the boroughs, however, it is evident no place can be more suitable and convenient than Carnarvon Hence it is clear there must be henceforward three associations. We are exceedingly anxious to see some speedy action taken in the direction, namely, of joining these distinct associations in the respective electoral districts. Is the old association expected to take the initiative ? If so, we trust there will be no unnecessary delay in the matter. Important questions require immediate attention. First of all, means should be adop c1 for ascertaining the opinion of the several districts as to which of the various candidates now before them are the men of their choice. Who can ascertain this important matter so well as an association thoroughly representative of the district for which it acts Then there should be no delay in forming such with a view to deciding the above impor- tant question. Then, again, the constituency will consist of a large influx of law material, much offit very ignorant and inexperienced in political action. Should not some measures be adopted for spreading political intelligence amongst the class from which the new voters will be drawn ? The suggested new associations might with much propriety and benefit to the new electorates undertake to organize a systematic courses of lectures upon the political questions likely to come before Parliament in the im- mediate future. Let these lectures be delivered broad-cast over the land. The Tories no doubt will endeavour to secure the support of the agricultural populations at the next elections with the ery of a tax upon foreign wheat. This is a cry likely to take with the farmers. Surely Liberal Associations should lose no time in employing its machinery to educate and enlighten the new rural voters on this im- portant matter. We yield to none in our zeal for Disestablishment and Disendowment, but there are, we fear, questions agitation upon which must takelprecedence of even this. Simply because they are questions which by their plausibility and their more immediate bearing upon the pecuniary interests of the farmers and agricultural labourers are likely to take z, wit h|these classes and lead them en masse to vote Tory. Much work lies before Liberal Associa. tiousfor the next twelvemonth in diffusing right and proper views on this ,matter throughout the length and breadth of the agricultural districts. The new voters should be told plainly that instead of listening to the siren voice of their landlords suggesting a restora- tion of the Corn Laws, thoy should agitate strenuously for tenant rights and a universal lowering of rents that herein and herein only lies the true remedy for the agricultural depression so universally complained of just now. We trust that we have made out a strong case for immediate action in the r, direction of the formation of Liberal Associa- tions for each new electoral district.
...-..---------.ft..,----WONDERS…
.ft.. WONDERS IN WALES. WALES is celebrated far and wide for the beauty of her landscapes, her picturesque vallevs, her glens, falls, and torrents for the grandeur of her mountain slopes, her echoing caverns, her rugged rocks, her warbling streams and for the harmonious blending of multitudinous forms of the beautiful which is surpassed but by few countries in the world. But the wonders which Wales presents are by no means coi fined to the natural world. The intellectual, moral, religious, and social condition of the people presents, to a reflective mind, peculiarities of a very striking kind. It is difficult for us to see ourselves as others see us. We are as insensible to our moral characteristics as we are to the natural beauty of our hills and dales. Familiarity, if it does not breed contempt, breeds indifference. We cease to wonder at phenomena which the daily routine of life brings perpetually under our observation. The homely natives wonder why Englishmen and others are so stupid as to put themselves to the trouble of tiavelling long n Z3 distances to come and see what appears to them to be anything but a novelty. This is quite natural, and is not referred to as a wonder." A, little introspection, self-examination, or whatever else individual taste may choose to term it, may prove instructive, and therefore ought to prove enter- taining in the best sense- Tiiere are very many strange phenomena upon which it might be pro- iitable to touch if our space permitted, but w; shall content ourselves at present with a few observations upon some two or three of them. Is it not a singular characteristic that the clergy of the Established Church in Wales should be Tories almost to a man? This is true, apart from the question of Disestablishment. That they should be opposed to Disestablish- ment is perhapsgnot so much to be wondered at, but that they should be so universally opposed to the progress of the democracy in general politics is, to our mind, a somewhat striking phenomenon. We believe there is nothing like the same proportion of Conserva- tives amongst the same class of men across the border. In a return issued some time ago the politics of the Bishops was defined, and from this return it would appear that their lord- ships are pretty equally divided on political questions, at least nominally. Those marked as Liberals do not, as far as we know, assert their Liberalism to any great extent, though it must be acknowledged that the Franchise Bill recently passed received the support of the large majority of them in the House of Lords. Then the rank and file of the English clergy contain many staunch Liberals in general poliLics. But in Wales nobody, somehow or other, expects to find a parson on the side of the people. Why is this ( Are the conditions of clerical life such as to absolutely prohibit the growth of Liberalism and to foster the development of Toryism ? To all appearance, the hypothesis is justifiable. The bulk of the Church-going people in Wales consists oi members of the aristocracy, land proprietors, and such like, and these for the most part are rank Tories. The clergy probably mix more in the society of these members of their con- gregations than any other they find their in- terests more closely identified with those of the 1, upper ten" than with those of the lower million, and hence their views of things in general become assimilated to those of their powerful friends. These conditions prevail so generally that the strange general result before alluded to is easily accounted for, in part at least. Why the result should be so general, and the influence of surrounding conditions so absolute in one direction, is one of those perplexing questions which for the present must remain open. How is it that some of them do not see that by championing the rights of the people they would be vastly increasing their own influence for good and popularizing the offices of the Church which they profess to love so well, and which they see has so little hold upon the masses of the people ? How can they ever expect to win the sympathy of the people when they themselves stand in the way of all popular movements for the promotion 0:' the people's welfare ? He that hath ear& to hear let him hear By some people the political Dissenter is looked upon as a very objectionable member of the community, and as a freak of modern political development. But what seems to us an inexpressibly more curious phenomenon is the Conservative Dissenter. The very idea almost provokes a smile of incredulity. That there should be amongst a community, which owes everything most dear to it to the Liberal- ism of the country, any one whose very in- stinct does not teach him the falsity of such a position is one of the modern wonders of Wales. The number of such is by no means large, indeed they form but a very small fraction of the community—just the exception which proves the rule. So inconsistent is it considered, that is the hybrid combination of Toryism and Dissent, by the public opinion of the country, that its production is uniformly attributed to some cause other than that of high principle-tbe power of the purse, for example. Money can do wonders there is no doubt, and sometimes produces this wonder undoubtedly, but not always. There are Dis senters who are Conservatives for othe r reasons of a higher kind, though ho w they have become such is a puzzle to most of
