LATE on Saturday night a boat, containing three men, living at Cardiff, was capsized whilst returning from Penarth, by which one of the three was drowned. THBBB has just been erected by tho Marquis of Bute, in the parish ohurchyard of Falkirk, a handsome granite, cross in memory of the warriors belonging to Bute who fell at the battle of Falkirk in 1298. OVBa 1,800 of the milesmen of the Great Southern and Western Railway of Ireland, have struck for in- creased wages, and against certain alleged grievances. Two hundred more have ceased work, and the strike has spread along the whole line. The consequenoes are likely to be of a most serious character. A BAD BOAT ACCIDENT ooourred at Cardigan bar on Friday. About half-past four o'clock in the afternoon, a boat whioh was attempting to cross the bar capsized, and the occupants (five young men) were drowned. At the time there was a heavy ground sea on. The un- fortunate excursionists were students at the Cardigan collegiate sohooL STRANGE OCCURRENCE AT Su.A schooner has been observed to approach the shore near the Lizard and then suddenly to change her course and head away to the west, from which direction she had come. Shortly afterwards the body of a middle-aged man was washed ashore, dead, but apparently not long dead. There were cuts on the bead and face, from which blood was flowing. The body bore no papers leading to identification, but the dreas was like that of a pilot. AT the Littledcan police-court, on Monday, the magistrates were occupied in hearing the case against Sabrina Cole of poisoning her husband. It was alleged that the accused mixed poison with the pepper which the husband used with his beef. Mr Horsley, the county analyst, proved finding strychnine and vermin powder in the pepper. Mr Carter, surgeon, of Gloucester, de- posed that the sufferings of Cole were not consistent with poisoning by strychnine, and eventually the magis- trates dismissed the case. RESPIRATOR FOR MINES.-M. Louis Denayrouze has lately perfected an apparatus for. enabling men to enter mines even while they are full of gas, which will no doubt be the means of many lives being saved both after explosions have occurred and in examining places where gas has accumulated. It consists of a kind of knapsack or aerophore, as it is called, filled with compressed atmospheric air, which is carried on the back, and supplies fresh air through a pipe with a regulating valve, to a respirator carried in the mouth, a mask being worn to protect the eyes and keep the nostrils closed. At the same time, the lamp is supplied with air by another tube, or it may have its own in- dependent supply carried with it. The whole appa- ratus, when in use, has the great merit of leaving both arms free for work. A small pressure guage is at- tached to the aerophore by which the man may see how much air is lefc, that he may leave before it is all used up. This respirator, &c., is also useful in working in gases at blast furnaces. Mr Jacob Higson, of Man- chester, and Mr James Barrow, mining engineer to the Llynvi Iron and Coal Co., both speak very highly of the merits of the invention. <

THE BABY. 4. Where did you come from, baby dear ? Out of the everywhere into the here. Where did you get your eyes so blue ) Out of the sky as I came through. What makes the light in them sparkle and spin t Some of the starry spikes left in, Where did you get that little tear f I found it waiting when I got here. What makes your forehead so smooth and high ? A soft hand stroked it as I went by. What makes your cheek like a warm white rose i Something better than any one knows. Whence came that three-cornered smile of bliss i Three angels gave me at once a kiss. Where did you get that pearly ear ? God spoke, and it came out to hear. Where did you get these arms and hands? Love made itself into hooks and bands. Feet, whence did you come, you darling things ? From the same box as the cherubs' wings. How did they all first come to be you ? God thought about me, and so I grew. But how did you come to as, you dear ? God thought of you, and so I am here. GEORGE MACDONALD, in Whittier's Child Life."
WELSH STEEL WORKS.
WELSH STEEL WORKS. It is now unquestionable that iron-making has seen its days in Wales. The future of Wales will depend u 0 -e upon the energy and skill applied to the manufacture of steel, and to the extent of the capital which shall be invested therein. And there is this consolation, which we are only too happy to impart, that, so far, our ironmasters are at the head of every other dis- trict, and can supply not only a better, but a cheaper article than any works in the whole of the North of England. The Welsh works which stand at the head in steel working are respectively-Landore (Siemens), Dowlais, Ebbw Vale, Panteg. and Rhymney. Panteg and Landore do a considerable amount of work for the Great Western, and the rails turned out are of high class. As regards Rhymney it is now actively engaged in that manufacture, but it will take another month before the whole of the appliances are ready, not only for the manufacture but for the make of steeL We have been informed by a trustworthy cor- respondent that when completed these works will stand at the very head, not only of the works of Mon- mouthshire, but of South Wales, and with the efficient staff there stationed may be confidently expected to get a good share of current trade. Seeing, then, that iron has had its day, and that steel has replaced it, and judging from a sound and a warrantable basis that a demand for steel rails is only a question of time, as already substantial orders are coming to hand from the Government for Indian railways, it is grati- fying to find that our ironmasters are ready prepared 41 on the shore" for the tide which is, we trust, once more to bring about a prosperous state of things.— Wettern Mail.

It appears that soma time ago deceased and his wife had a quarrel, and separated.

The inquest was held on Thursday, the 13th, and the jury returned a verdict that "Deceased had committed suicide while in a state of temporary insanity."

THE COAL AND IRON TRADES.
THE COAL AND IRON TRADES. THE NOBTH DEIIBYHHIIIE Inom TRADR.-The men employed at the Bessemer Railway Works of Messrs Wilson, Cammell. and Company, Dronfield, have sub- mitted to a reduction of 10 per cent., of which notice was given to them a fortnight ago. THE WAGRS QtõBSTION AT RRITOX FBHBT.—Notices of a reduction of wages were posted at the Briton Ferry Ironworks on Saturday. The notices intimated that in a month from that date a reduction would take place simitar to that now in force at Dowlais and other large works. THE MINERS OF YORKSHIRE AND DERBYSHIRE— The question of a reduction of the wages of the miners in South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire has assumed a very serious aspect. The colliery owners hare inti- mated that the exigencies of the trade imperatively de- mand a reduction of wages, and the men have replied that they cannot on any consideration submit to it. Another meeting of the masters will be held shortly, and if they insist on a reduction a protracted struggle is Int' anticipated, as the Miners' Union has undergone tho- rough reorganisation daring the past few months. Several of the masters are quite prepared to close their pits, as they are working them at a loss. REDUCTION BY SoDTH YORKSHIRE STEKLWORX.KBS' WAGES.—A short time ago the mm employed at tbe Yorkshire Iron and Steel Works, Penis tone, belonging to Messrs Oonnell aad Co., Limited, received notices for a reduction of wages to the amount of 10j>er cent, ia consequence of tne dull state of trade. The men, ef course, grumbled at the redaction, but it was acoepted by all except those employed at what is known as the "Cogging" mill. The firm, however, appear to have been equal to the oocasion, for by an alteration in the mode of moulding the ingots of steel they have been able to dispense with the services of these men alte gether, thus effecting a great saving weekly. Someforty or fifty have therefore to look elsewhere for work at a time when the labour market is tviirywhom over- charged.
HOW EXPLOSIONS HAPPEN.
HOW EXPLOSIONS HAPPEN. On Monday, at the Pentre police-court (before Mr Gwilym Williams, stipendiary magistrate) Wm. Price, collier, employed at Tynybedw Colliery, was charged with entering a stall in the said works while there was an accumulation of gas. It seemed that the defendant, when he discovered gas was accumulating, instead of in- stantly leaving work and reporting the matter to the manager, Mr Slathiel, extinguished bis lamp and con- tinued filling his tram in the dark. Mr Slathiel hap- pened to enter the stall, and accidentally discovered how matters stood. Defendant (in answer to the Bench) said: I had only very little to do before I would have finished loading the tram." The Bench Yes, and per- haps kill every one in the pit. He was fined 40a. and OOsts. Daniel Evans, Bute Colliery, was charged with open ing his Davy lamp in the interior of the said colliery. Robert Jones.

The Benoh dwelt on the character of the offence, and the grave danger incurred by the de- fendant's reckless conduct. He was fined 40s and costs.

ALARMING ACCIDENT AT A OHAPEL.-At St Just, a few miles from Penzance, on Sunday evening, a congre- gation of Bible Christians were holding their services in the upper part of a large grocery store. Daring the opening hymn one-half of the floor gave way, carrying with it 70 or 80 women and children. The floor of the first storey also collapsed in part, and about a score of persons fell among the stock of grooery. No one was in- jured seriously. THE FIRST LORn OF THB ADMIRALTY AND WELSH STEAM COll.-The new Lord of the Admiralty is ex- pected to open up some important business iransactiong with Swansea. Mr W. H. Smith is connected by mar- riage with gentlemen intimately associated with the coal trade of the district, and it is presumed that the unques- tionable superiority of smokeless Welsh steam coal will now be brought so prominently before the Admiralty that in the end it will take that place in our navy to which it is justly entitled. THE PLANETS.—At the present time there are no fewer than five of the euporior planets above the horizon, visible to the naked eye—Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and the moon. Saturn and Mars occupy the eastern, Jupiter the southern, and Venus the western section of our hemisphere. As Venus at present is not ) far from the sun, she sets soon after 7 p.m., and must, therefore, be sought soon after sunset, a short distance j above the horizon, almost obscured in the refulgenee of the golden halo of the departed sun. The other four may be seen to advantage about 8.30 p.m. I, HOLLOW A y' s Pl.LLs.-The chiefest wonder of modern times.-This incomparable Medicine increases the appe- tite, strengthens the stomach, cleanses the liver, corrects biliousness, and prevents flatulency, purifies the system, invigorates the nerves, and reinstates sound health.

■■■ r-- m<ii INDIAN ADDRESS TO THE VICEROY OF CANADA- When Lord and Lady Dufferin visited St. Andrews, near Lake Winnipeg (during tbe recent Viceregal tour through the Dominion) on the 16th August, they were received with great enthusiasm, which was also mani- fested is all the places through which they passed, and amongst the people who assembled to receive them, were a party of about 60 warriors of the Brokenhead Indians, who, with their squaws and papooses, were drawn up on both sides of the road leading to a very handsome triumphal arch, decorated by the Indians with various articles of native manufacture, and des- cribed as being one of the most artistic in design and perfect in form yet erected in the province. The head chief, Joseph Prince, presented the following address to his Excellency, composed by themselves, which is reprinted from the Manitoba Daily Free -z)-rom; May (t pleau Your Excellency, We, the Chippewa and Orea tribes of Indians, com- monly known as the" St Peter's," U Brokenbead River," and "Fort Alexander" bands, beg leave to express to your Excellency our profound respect and attachment to your person, and. we present to you oar homage and loyalty, and the unalterable attaohment of our race to the Great Mother, and to you her illus- trious representative. We bid you and Lady Dufferin welcome to this our native soil, and as we point to the centre of heaven, the seat of the Great Spirit, we offer our united voice of thanksgiving for safely conducting you and your Lady, and Lady Helen Blaokwood, to this locality. As we present the stem and pipe of peace to your Lordship, we point also to the rising san-towards the throne of our Great Mother, as the emblem of oui devotedoess to the Queen's sacred person. May your visit to this distant part of her possessions, the abode of our various tribes, be the harbinger of peaoe and tranquility throughout this land, so that the erilepirit of di»eoatoi»t ktrerct be eradicated from the minds of your red subleeb4 as mist clears from the atmosphere, and we behold a serene sky, and, through yoT>r great influence in behalf of our races, we may hereafter enjoy a ooafidenoe and security under your -rule. Our forefathers have bequeathed to us, their children, the symbol of your power and authority, that flag which was banded down from father to son as we came down the stream from the rising sun we held a veneration for its folda.and now we have, since a hundred years or more, stood under that flag ready to vindicate its honor in time of emergency. We, like our forefathers, have been the friends of the white man, and the defenders of this rising settle- ment from evil men and from the Sioux nation, before our Great Mother came here with her flag, which now floats over lake and mountain throughout this great cpntinent, and we have that confidence in our Great Mother's power and goodness that, under your Excel- lency's administration, tranquility and happiness will reign throughout the land. Nor can we forget here to acknowledge before your Excellency our unfeigned Satitude and .-unbounded obligation to you and the tvernment of our Great Mother for the prompt mea- sures resorted to in arresting the progress of the small- pox, whioh disease, not many years ago, swept hundreds of our race from these vast plains, the remains of which can only now be seen as monuments of eur camp fires. We cannot find words to express our gratitude^ to thank our Great Mother for the timely aid. Henry Price (Red Eagle), chief of the St. Peter's baud. John Raven, chief of the Brokenhead River band: Ka-ke-ka-pe-nais (Everlasting bird}, chief of the Fort Alexander band. Na-se-ka-pe-nais (Bird that flies downwards), chief of the Fort Garry band.
