Lord Aberdare. VNVEILING OF THE STATUE. An interesting ceremony took place in the quadrangle of the Aberystwyth College on Friday in the presence of a large number of students and visitors, this being the unveiling of the plaster cast of the late Lord Aberdare, which had been presented to the college authorities by Mr. Herbert Hampton, the sculptor. It had been anticipated that Sir Lewis Morris would have been present to have received the gift on behalf of the college council, but he was unavoidably absent. Principal Roberts presided, and he was supported on the left by Mr. Herbert Hampton, and on the right by Mr. Thomas Davies of Bootle, Liverpool, and there were also present Mrs. Jessie Williams, Mr. Fryer, Mr- C. M. Williams, Mr. T. Mortimer Green (registrar), Mr. Francis (Wallog), Mr. D. C. Roberts (Mayor), Mr. Charles Howell (Welshpool), Mr. J. D. Perrott, &c. Principal Roberts, in opening the meeting, said he very much regretted that Sir Lewis Morris, one of the Vice-Presidents of the College, was unable to be present, and, as a consequence, they were without the presence of one who was peculiarly fitted to accept on behalf of the College Council, formally the statue of the first President of the College, which had been reared in that hall (hear, iaear)? He was glad to say, however, that the place, of Sir Lewis Morris had been taken by one of the oldest members of the Council-one who had-shown very great liberality towards the College for many years-Mr. Thomas Davies, .of Bootle, Liverpool (cheers). He had with him a letter dated January 11th, 1875, in which the late Lord Aberdare signified his willingness to acoept the presidency of that College, saying "that if the governors should be of opinion that my acceptance of the,ofrice would advance their efforts to improve the education of the natives of the Principality I shall not feel justified in declining to accede to their wish" (hear, hear). The other day fee happened to read again, after many years, a short article, written in the year 1879 to the "College Magazine," and in which there was a review of the circumstances of the College at that time. Those circumstances were not altogether encouraging, but the writer refused to see in the apparent discourag- ing elements any signs of real discouragement, for was able to say that the College possessed a noble building which was entirely paid for (hear, liear), and in the person of Lord Aberdare they had a president not in name only (hear, hear), for the writer added, Lord Aberdare was not in the: habit of leaving his undertakings to dwindle and fail The writer of that article was one whom .they had recently had occasion to mourn, the late Mr. Tom Ellis (hear, hear). From that day down to the end of his life Lord Aberdare filled the: office of President of the College, and just one cvear before his death he had been elected Chan-' cellor of the University of Wales, and in his robes as Chancellor, he was represented in the statue' before them. The statue of which this was the original cast had been placed in Glamorganshire, the native county of the late Lord Aberdare, and those who knew anything of Glamorganshire knew what a profound reverence was entertained for his name in that densely-populated county-a, reverence perhaps felt, more deeply and sincerely by the colliers and working men of the county, than any other section of the population (hear, hear). But it was fitting that there should be a permanent and lasting representation of the late Lord Aberdare before the eyes of the students. The occasion was, therefore, one t>f interest, but not intended to be invested with nuch formality or circumstance, but they had reality been called together just before the commencement of one of the ordinary meetings the commencement of one of the ordinary meetings of the Council because at that meeting Mr. Herbert Hampton, the sculptor whose work the statue was, had offered to present it to the College, and that oSer had been accepted (cheers). Mr. Hampton was there thatay, and it seemed only right and fitting that due iecknowledgment should be made j to him by the Council, and that it should be made in the presence of the students of the College (cheers). Lord Aberdare had been brought into association with that movement by the tounder, bir Hugh Owen, and he considered it to be one of his greatest servicesto education in Wales. LordAber- dare stood out as one of the greatest figures Wales had been able to tend into the world and the public life of England. Mr. Thomas Davies, who is a gentleman who was very prominent in the College work in the days of small things, and who was always willing and ready to do everything La bis power to help the College, but who has been somewhat of a stranger in Aber- ystwyth of late years, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Hampton, sayistg that he was one of those who were connected wvrh the early struggles of the College, and workef with the late Lord Aberdare, and one who shared with Sir Hugh Owen the anxiety of those days. But they never despaired; they were never discouraged; but they were always full of hope (hear, hear), and in those days they were helped by the generosity and sympathy of the outside public, particularly the quarrymen and the Welshmen in the U, iiited States. Very few people kneyv the tangible support which they had from over the Atlantic (cheers). As regards the respon- sible work of the late Lord Aberdare, it was to his knowledge a labour ef love (hear, hear), and the present position of the:College was due in no small measure to his exertions in those early days. He had to express, on behalf of the Governors and the whole representative bo.,dy of the University College of Wales, their gratefdl thanks to the gentleman who had given to them that noble gift, that beautiful-work of which they ought to feel proud (hear, hear). Mr. Frytr seconded the proposition, and said that since the death of Lord Aberdare hardly sufficient time had passed to allow them to fully appreciate the enormous benefits whiioh he conferred upon the College. As president, he steered the College through sotte very troublous times. He had sup- ported it all along and left-it at at a time when it bad succeeded beyond his -most sanguine expecta- tions. He hoped that at some future time some liberal-hearted Welshman woilld come forward and aesist the College authorities in procurng a hall more fitted for the reception,cif the statue. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footptints on the samus- of time. (Choers.) Lord ;kbetdare, theywould agree with him, had left deep and lasting footprints on the sandr- of time. As President of -,the Royal Com- missiltn on Welsh International 'Education no one1 worked harder in the interests of '.the Welsh schootis. It was the hope ofenany that before long people in j England would fallow the footeteps of gallant j, | little Wales (hear, iiear). The-, uiotion was carried unaninstously, and given ;| jnusioal honours. i Mr.Htmpton, in response, said be felt that the .-proposer and seconder had been far too generous (ai6) in the way theyhad expressed their thanks to ;rom format very otdinary action upon his part. ijje could assure them.-that he considered it a great honour-to .haTe his work accepted by the Council ofithe College, and hen-was delighted to know that iitfha-d so appropriate a.home in that IAIIlding. He ,wew deeply grateful for the manner in which they Jiafljreceived him upon ifchat occasion. Lord Aber- claEe was his ideal of n man and he considered bimælf most fortunate in having had en trusted to fcim -to impoitta.ut a commission as tiawt- If his w&l,- iT eealled to those wbe knew him the dignified pceefiSKje of the man, and gave an impression of a gajeat man to those who did not know Mm he was move ipton satisfied (hear, hear). lis itfcatnking those present for their attendance, referred to the excellent work whicb,w.,aB done by the Hon. W. M. Bruce..son of Lord Aberdare, w&to was a motet admirable fsifewer in his facer's footeteps (bear, bear).

LLANBADARN FAWR. COMPETITIVE MEETING.—A most successful and pleasant meeting was held at the Penyfron Schoolroom on Tuesday week under the chairman- ship of the Rev. Nathaniel Thomas, vicar. The different items on the programme produced keen competitions, and the results were as follows:— Recitation for children under 12 (English) Prize divided between Pollie Richards and Thomas Keane recitation for children under 12 (Welsh): 1st, Hywel Thomas, Llanbadarn 2nd, Annie Rees, Comminscoch; recitation for any age, The destruction of Jerusalem," John James, Penparke; reading without Attalnodaii," John Richard Hughes, Bow Street; for the best poem on The Oak Tree," six competitors, but prize withdrawn; am y chwech cynghor goreu, Pa fodd i wneyd gwr defnyddiol," Getta Jones, Llanbadarn; am y chwech cynghor goreu, Pa fodd i wneyd gwraig ddefnyddiol": Evan Hughes, Llanbadarn, thene two latter competitions were very popular, and produced much amusement; tenor solo, John Jenkins, Penparke; quartette, D. L. Edwards and party; bass solo, John James, Penparke; soprano solo, prize divided between Pollie Jones and Getta Jones, Llanbadarn; duett, John Jenkins and John James, Penparke solo for children under 14, prize divided between Hywel Thomas and Thomas Keane: anthem for party not less than 16 in number, Comminscoch Party. The rendering of which was highly commended by the adjudicator. Perfect satisfaction was given by the adjudicators, Rev. G. Blackwell, Penrhyncoch Mr John Jones, A.C., Aberystwyth; and by the pianists, Messrs. Cashmore and De Lloyd. The proceeds will be devoted to the fund for establishing a Reading Room in the village. The success of the two competitive meetings will doubtless eoncourage the committee in restarting them next winter on a larger scale. PETTY SESSIONS, THURSDAY, MAY 25th. Before J. G. W. Bonsall, Esq., (in the chair); J. F. Hughes Bonsall, and Hugh Bonsall, Esqrs. FURIOUS DRIVING.—John Owen, Chalybeate- court, Aberystwyth, was charged with having furiously driven a -waggonette at Llanbadarn on Good Friday.—Mr. Samuel, Aberystwyth, appeared for the defendant.—P.C. Powell said on Good Friday evening he saw defendant furionsly driving a pair of horses past Penllwyn. Witness shouted at him and asked Mm to take time. Defendant took no notice but kept on.—In reply to the Chairman, witness said that defendant was driving in such a way as to endanger the lives of the people on the Toad—Mr. Samuel said his client had only been charged with having driven furiously through Llanbada-rn, but the Bench granted an application to -have the summons amended so as to read in the parish of Llanbadarn." Mr. Samuel said this was placing him at a disadvantage, but it being stated that there were witnesses present who would prove that defendant drove at a furious rate through Llanbadarn, it was decided to proceed with the case.—Wm. Edwards, Cliff-terrace, Aber- ystwyth, said he was looking after the trench which had been opened at Llanbadarn and seeing to the traffic, wen defendant drove past at a very fast rate with a waggonette full of young persons. He shouted to defendant who, however, did not stop but threatened him with a whip. Witness followed him jound the corner, fearing he would drive into the trench. A child had a narrow escape.—Cross- examined This was on the narrow part of the road, and the trench was open from the gate to the end of the Church. He told defendant to stop twenty yards before he came to the beginning of the trench. Defendant did not fail to stop his horse. He did not try but whipped his horse.—Is it a fact that you tried to stop this case going on 7 —Dear me, no.—Superintendent Phillips said the police were the prosecutors. Witness in further reply said he never told Mr. Rowlands, Goginan, that the case had been withdrawn.—The Chair- man: That will do. I think you took every precaution, and perhaps saved the life of that child.—Thomas Jones, architect, gave evidence to the effect that he saw defendant driving at a fast rate considering the state of the road.—Defendant next gave evidence stating that he was driving at a moderate pace up to the trench, but one of the horses, which was fresh, got frightened, and he had to whip the other one to keep them steady and to keep clear of the houses. Edwards and his man asked 17im to be careful, and he said he would do his best. He never threatened Edwards with his whip. Edwards said he had had a bother some time ago. He [did not drive furiously from Pont- erwyd down, as he started at two o'clock and did not reach Aberystwyth until twenty-five past five. John Jones, defendant's employer, gave evidence as to defendant's good character.—The Chairman said there had been many accidents of late which had been caused purely through furious driving. A short time ago a man nad one 01 nis legs broken, and the person who was the cause was never discovered. Two 'ladies were also thrown out of the carriage, and two horses were killed. The Bench were determined to put a stop to that kind of .thing. They fined defendant EZ and costs. It might be well that cyclists should know that they were liable to be -fined 910, and if any of them were brought before that Bench for furious riding they would be severely dealt with.—Thomas Jenkins, Penrhiw, Ystumtuen, was charged with having ridden on a waggon and the horse having no reins.—P.C. Thomas Davies proved the case — Defendant admitted that he had no reins and said being very tired he jumped up to sit on the shafts.— The Bench intimated that iit was necessary to take every precaution against .accidents, and fined defendant El and costs. DOGS WITHOUT LICENSES.—Jane Daniel, Pen- rhiwceir, Ystumtuen, John Hughes and James Hughes, Pantyrorfa, Ystumtuen, and John Edwin Richards, Cwmbryno, miner, were charged with having kept dogs without licenses.—P.C Powell proved the cises.-Vatious excuses were offered by the defendants, who, however, were fined 10s. and costs. SCHOOL BOARD CASES.-Elias Jones, Pengwmrin, Parcel Canol, and David Davies, Bronsaint, Parcel Canol, were charged by D. Jones, attendance officer, with having neglected to send their children to school regularly.—The latter defendant submitted' a letter from Dr. James, Dated May 20th, stating: that the child was subject to attacks of dyspepsia' which prevented his attendance occasionally,— The Attendance Officer pointed out that defendant; was summoned for non-attendance before May 5th. He was ordered to pay costs.—The first de-: fendaut, who had been previously fined by the! Bench, was fined 5s. and costs.

BORTH. ,I WESLEY AN CHAPEL.—Two Ex-ministers of the Aber- ystwyth Circuit occupied the pulpit of the above: chapel last Sunday, viz., Rev. Thomas Morgan, of Brynmawr, Ex-chairman of the South Wales District, and Rev. Robert Roberts, of Treorky. The services were well attended and highly appreciated. A Correspondent writes :_H Statements are made in a certain local press about what is called the 'sad case of Borth' that requires a great deal of seasoning before they are palatable to the majority of the inhabitants of this place. In fact, we can't swallow them as they are. The impression given implies a very unwarrantable neglect on the part of the County Council and their surveyor. We cannot see where that comes in. If spending a heavy amount of money on the defences, and .making an entirely new road for a distance of two imiles or more, can be construed into a neglect, they well deserve it. Everybody that lired here a quarter of a century ago would think it impossible i-,to,save the south end of Borth from the sea, but the then County Road's Board grappled with the ,difficulty, and since then the Main Roads hra carried t-be thing through to such an extent even as to make such an expert as Mr. Case to pronounee that point pericotly safe. The main road also at that time, auEkd up to two years ago, was in a disgraceful sfcate.iin fact, nothing better than a waggon track. Vsaitors that came to Borth for their holidays had to ilock up their bikes, and send home for etrong hnaating shoes to save their corns but, thanks to the Council, and specially the good nature and foresight of their surveyor, all that is past. We have a clear run of a bicycle track, and even drive, of at least two miles parrallel with the sea. that will comp-ete with any in the kingdom, but all that could mot be accomplished without spending a lot of mooey, and the County Council has backed up their somaiit in such a way that we, as residents, cannot 8ibly be otherwise than exceedingly grateful, and.also wish with all our hearts that they will stea<My continue to do for Borth, as part of the comafer, vwhatever may be necessary for the protection ode the iroad, so that we, the inhabitants, may feel jeftfident to welcome visitors from other parts of Eagland to visit our shore. It is well known that the inhabitants have done their utmost in the past to protect their homes, and lately spent an enormous amount on what seems to be a very small equivalent Mr. Case's system seems to be based on sound principles, but Davy Jones up to the present seems to ignore both him and his ientific basis; it is a case of come and go so far, -gad, if any, more go than come, and the opinion of -the majority here is that it would be useless to spend more money at present on an experiment that, gives no very satisfactory results. we nope tue CQY Council, in dealing with the north end of Borth," will do for us the best thing in their judg- ment that will be the means of protecting the road, Mtd consequently our homes. For instance, a concrete sea wall from Clapton-bouse to Moreland- house would be a good thing, it would not cost much for Cardiganshire County Council—say from P,10 to £2.0 per yard for a distance of six or seven hundred yards. It is only right that the public should know that the attitude of the inhabitants of Borth is not what it is too often represented to be in the papers. What is really wanted is a little appreciation of the efforts of the villagers in their struggles against the sea; a little more material support, and sympathy, and not grumbling and faultrftading to damp native ardour and discourage outside aid."

Ar dif y mae deugain Sais ar gyfer pob Cymro, ond ar y mor mi dyngaf nad oes deng bais ar yr eithaf, a chyfrif y Llynges Brydeinig. Nid wyf yn credu fod y Cymro yn hoff o ymuno a'r Llynges, o herwydd, mi debygaf, fod y bywyd yn rhy gaetli, ac o ddiflyg gobaith codi uwchlaw bod yn sardine tra bydclo byw. Yn wahanol i'r Sais, mae pob lob- olyn o Gymro, a chil ei olwg, ar yr half deck cynted bytli y cymer ef ei le yn nghynffon y lee fore brace am y tro cyntaf.

Nid oedd son am Gymro fel llongwr yn yr hen ddyddiau gynt, pan oedd yr hen Forgan yn malu y Spaeniaid yn Ne'r Amerig, ond fe welir enw llawer i Gymro yr amser hono yn rhestr y rhai a grogwyd am forladrad; ac fe crys enwau rhai 0 honynt ar gof a chadw yn hanes campiau y mor a chroniclau beicldgarwch dihafal tra bydd llong yn cerdded y dyfroedd, a pharch gan ddynion at wroldeb. Gyda Haw, mi welais ny rhywle fod yna Scudamore yn mhlith y crogedigion, yn hanes y "Buccaneersand Marooners of America" fe ganfyddir enwau gryn lawer o'n cenedl.

Bore Haf. Mor siriol yw y coedydd A'r glennydd dan y gwlith,- A blodau 'n harddwych wisgo Pob ran o'r fro yn frith Ymdorriad haul o'r dwyrain A'i wedd yn gain a gwych, Yn rhoddi teg arwyddion 0 ddydd nawseiddlon sych,- Holl Anian yn ymlonni,— Y wennol heini 'i hynt Trwy 'r iachus awyr denau Yn bywiog wau 'n y gwynt,— Uchedydd ar iach aden Fry yn y nen i Naf Yn offrwru clod yn wresog Ar foreu heuliog Haf. DANIEL DDU. YMRYSON RAS YSMALA. Yn New York ychydig ddyddiau yn ol, fe fu vmrvson ras na fu ei chvffelvb erioed o'r blaen. Pump oedd yn campio a'u heglau, sef dyn ar geffyl haiarn, car gwyllt (motor car) ceffyl cyffredin cig a gwaed, camel a eliffant! Yr oedd yn gryn orch- wyl cael cychwyn ar y ras, gan fod y ceffyl cig a gwaed yn rhusio wrth glywed swn aflafar y car- gwyllt, a dyn y ceffyl haiarn am ei fywyd yn osgoi hen wadnau arswydus yr eliffant, a chwrliad afreolus tenewynau meinion y camel. Mae'n rhaid fod yno olygfa ddoniol tuhwnt i bobpeth. Yr eli- ffant oedd ar y blaen, tan chwythu ac ebychu nerth esgyrn ei ben-peth digon naturiol ar ol cludo ei bedair tunell o floneg mor frysiog. Y FFRWGWD YN SAMOA. Llonyddu ron bach y mae pethau yn Samoa, He u yr ymdaro gyneu rhwng y Prydeinwyr a'r Ian- fewn yn erbyn y dyn du. Mae'r Ddirprwyaeth wedi \cyraedd Apia, y prif bentref, ac wedi derbyn croesaw gan y ddwy blaid. Yn ol ei arferiad y mae'r Ellmynwr yn mynu crafangu am eu pres. Dyma'r genedl haerllugaf ar wyneb y ddaear-mae hi yn mhell ar flaen ar y Saeson hyd yn nod-ac ar ol dechreu y gynen er mwyn enill yr ynys i'w dwy- law digwilydd eu hunain, maent yn awr yn hawlio iawn am yr hyn a gollasant. 80,000 o ddoleri yw eu pris; ond o ran hawl, ni fyddai waeth iddynt ofyn am hyny o gregiii- cocos. Hen fechgyn go lew yw'r ynyswyr ond iddynt gael llonydd gan yr Ellmyn. Mae'n wir fod rhyw fan wendidau yn perthyn iddynt, megys ciniawa ar eu gilydd adeg rhyfel, ond pan gofiwn nad oes ond haner can' mlynedd er pan roesant y gore i ffowla cenhadon a llongwyr, mae yn rhyfedd eu bod cystal ag y maent. YR AGERLONG "PARIS." Mae'r Paris ar y creigiau byth. Er fod pump o'r tugs yn tynu eu goreu glas, a pheirianau y llong fawr ei hunan yn chwirlio, ni fyddai waeth ceisio symud Ynys Enlli. Mae'r llong cyn sowndied a chloch y Bala, ac os na cheir tywydd teg o hyn at y gorllan nesaf, ceiff ei malu yn grybibior.. Mae nhw yn credu fod darn o graig wedi gwthio i'w gwaelod, ac y bydd yn rhaid iddynt saethu'r graig. TYNGED Y GLO. Mae Mr. J. A. Langdon, gwr o safle uchel ac un a ddylai wybod rhywbeth am ei bwnc. yn dywedyd yn groyw na fydd genym yr un llychyn o lo yn mhen haner can mlynedd, yn ol y dihysbyddiad preeenol. Ni fyddai waeth i ni heb a cheisio dyf- alu y canlyniadau. Fe allai erbyn y daw yr amser y gallwn hebgor y glo. Pwy wyr na ddaw rhyw greadur dyfeisgar i yru tren am gan milldir a llond llwy de o saim gwydd, neu a dwymna ein tai ag ychydig bach o'r triagl tanddaiarol sydd yn bygwth anfarwoli Tregaron ? Y GWEITHIAU MWN. Mewn man arall ceir talfyriad o hanes y gweith- iau mwn yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiweddaf wedi ei grynhoi o Lyfr Glas y Llywodraeth sydd newydd ei gyhoeddi. Da genym gael ar ddeall fod rhag- olygon y gweithiau yn gwella. Hyderwn y gwna pob Cymro, ac yn arbenig pob Cardi, roddi dwys ystyriaeth i'r hyn a ddywed Dr. Foster ar ymgais cwmniau tramor i adfywio ein gweithiau mwn. Tra hyderwn na wneir dim i rwystro y tramorwyr yn eu liameanion clodwiw. Ceisier yn hytrach eu cynorthwyo. Os am eu cadw draw, gwneler hyny drwy ragori arnynt yn onest ac agored. Nid gwiw gwawdio un ymgais deg a chyfreithlon, canys gan bwy ei gwneir. Mae digon a gormod o atnroai wedi bod ar y gweithiau yn y gorphenol gan rai dynion cibddall, digydwybod. Nid trwy eu galw yn "All fools level" y mae cefnogi y gweithiau a chodi yr hen wlad yn ei hoi. Mae rhai Belgiaid yn caru ein cenedl ni yn well nac ambell i Sais. EISTEDDFOD WIL. Wel, dyma'r hen Eisteddfod wedi myned i le rhyfedd I Mae Wil Wirion wedi ei llusgo hi i'r Almaen ac o'i benglog ei hun wedi sefydlu cystad- leuaeth gorawl! Mae'r Eisteddfod gyntaf wedi ei chycbwyn yn Cassel; deunaw o gorau yn cystadlu a dau a'r bymtheg o honynt yn lladd ar y beirniaid. Gallent ganu nes iddynt ddifetha eu gyddfau dros byth-ond nis gallant, yn sicr, honi fod ganddynt Eisteddfod nes daw'r hen Hwfa yno yn ei holl ogoniant wybrenol, ei glocsiau derwyddawl, a'i gledd-ffyrnig. Fe allai fod Wil Wirion wedi clywed son am ein hen gyfaill rhadlon, ac iddo feddwl am y swydd ei hunan; ond mi wn y cryn ei orsedd filwrol ef, os digwydd i'n gorsedd ni osod ei melldith arno. Nid oes na mur na magnel a etyl ergyd englyn, ac mi garwn yn fy nghalon weled Wil yn cynddeiriogi wrth ddarllen gwaith ein beirdd yn lladd arno yn y Welsh Gazette." Yn mha le byddy "Majestaats beleidigung" wrth englyn Eos y Corwynt ? Yn wir dyn byw, mae Wil wedi rhyfygu pethau ofnadwy wrth geisio llunio, Eisteddfod heb ganiatad y Beirdd yn 61 Brain a Defaid." Fe allai y dywed y cynghaneddwr rhugl Dafydd Morganwg pa sawl copi o'r Ysgol Farddol sydd wedi myned i'r Almaen. Mi wn am haner dwsin ogopiau o Ramadeg Robert Davies, Nantglyn, sydd wedi myned yno er's talm o amser. Nid oes yr un son eto am bwy fydd yr Archfardd Cocysaidd Tywysogol ■ ond mae'r hen Wil yn gwthio am y pethau goreu yn wastacl-un fel yna ydyw ef-ac ni synwn i ddim fod rhai o'i swyddogion wedi bod tua'r Phortbaethwy yn ceisio taro bargen am ddillad, het silc a chleddyf ein hanfarwol Fardd Cocos. Y MAORI A'R CYMRO. Dau go anhebyg mcwn llawer ystyr yw y Maori a'r Cymro, ond o ran ystyr gwladol a thriniaeth gan Sion Ben Tarw mae tebyg ac anhebyg. Yn debyg i ni fe helwyd y Maoriaid yn New Zealand i ran o'r North Island ac sydd yn cyfateb o ran safle i Gymru—ac yno mae nhw yn byw, ac yn anhebyg i ni, yn cael pob chwareu teg gan y gwlaclfqwyr. Pan y digwydd i'r Maori ddarfod yn unrhyw ran o'r wlad, bydd rhaid cael Mesur trwy y ddau dy Senedd a Dirprwyaeth ar ben hyny i ofalu fod y dyn du yn cael pris da am ei dir. Mae'r Maoris yn mwynhau Ymreolaeth ac yn berffaith ddedwydd yn stwnsio ymlaen o dan eu Brenin Mahuta; ac nid oes ond un peth yn pwyso ar eu gwynt, sef nas goddefir iddynt gael diodydd meddwol. Yn mhob gorsaf ar y ffyrdd haiarn mae'r ddwy iaith yn ystlysu. a lie by nag y bydd y Maori yn byw, mae'r Llywodraeth yn gofalu fod pob rhybudd yn ei iaith ef o gystal a'r Seisnig. Dysgir y plant i siarad Saesneg drwy gyfrwng eu hiaith eu hunain, a gof- alir na chaiff yr un dyn swydd yn eu hysgolion os na fedr ef y ddwy iaith. Rhaid i bob Ynad Hedd- wch yn y Ring Country allu gwneyd heb gyfieith- "J '1.11:4- yaa, aC yn y ireiyuu mawr, vvtuimgiAm "J Auckland, mae gofyn cael cyfieithydd os gofynir am dano gan y Maori. Cedwir enwau y lleoedd yn awr yn yr hen ffuri. Nid oes son am newid Ngaruwahia neu Matama- taharakeke i enw Seisnig a fo hyllach, a phetai Pwllheli yn y wlad hono buasai pob pagan yn codi ar ei draed ol cyn y goddefid i un llyffant geisio ei newid. Paham na chawn i gystal triniaeth gan Sion Ben Tarw yn ei gartref ef ei hun? Sion, Sion, rhyw hen guwrnffast trwstan wyt ti hefyd! Fel y canlyn yr ysgrifena Idriswyn am Gaerdydd a'r Eisteddfod :-Fe wyddys mai ymdrech galed, yn gofyn gwyliadwriaeth fanwl, a chenedlgarwch heb un crac ynddo, a chryn lawer o aberth, yw cadw y teimlad cenedlaethol yn fyw mewn tref fawr gynyddol a phoblog fel Caerdydd, heb son am gadw y dref yn Gymreig. Y mae yma gymysgedd o wahanol genedloedd-rhyw ail Babel "—yn byw i ddim ond i fasnachu; ceir y fath gyfleus- derau i wneud arian fel y maey Saeson yn dylifo yma wrth y miloedd bob blwydyn; dygant eu har- ferion gyda hwynt; y mae delw eu nodweddion ar eu holl fywyd; eu duwiau ydynt eu cyllau a'u pyrsau; ac unig nod eu bywyd yw gwneud arian. Er hyn oil, md yn umg y mae n amiwg lOG rnyw gymaint o deimlad Cymreig yn bodoli yn Nghaer- dydd, ac nad yw y tan cenedlaethol wedi llwyr ddiffodd, ychwaneg, mae y dref yn Gymreig-yn hollol Gymreig felly-yn ei dyheuadau a'i hamcan- Ion a'i bywyd; profa hyny yn ei hysgolion elfenol i chanolraddol, a'i eboleg-y mwyaf Cymreig o'r tri,—a'i Llyfrgell Gymreig, a'i Hamgueddfa sy'n llawn o bethau yn dal cvsylltiad a'n cenedl a'n hen hanes ac yn ddiweddaf yn y gwaboddiad a rodd- odd i'n Heisteddfod Genedlaethol i dd'od eleni i gynal ei gwyl flynyddol o fewn ei magwyrydd. Dylai Cymry Caerdydd gael cydymdeimlad dyfnaf y genedl, a'i chefnogaeth fwyaf calonog yn eu bym drech i gadw y llanw Sejsnjg yn ol; ac y mae'r hyn sydd wedi ei wneud eisoes yn teilyngu edmygedd pob Cymro ?. Chymraes sy'n caru buddianau uchaf Cymru.
