Roberts (Mayor), C. M. Williams and R. J. Jones, with Mr. Rees Jones, borough surveyor. Various little matters were brought before the meeting, and it was decided to warn the boatmen not to tout on the Terrace also, that the standing hackney carriages should not be allowed to con- tinue an obstruction to people crossing the road, as they were at present.—It was decided to refuse an application for a licence to sell ice cream on the Terrace. With regard to bathing in front of South terrace, the Surveyor was instructed to see that it was not allowed.—The committee considered plans of band stands, and it was finally decided that a ,cast"iron one be purchased at a cost not to exceed xiso.

Roberts (Mayor), Mr, C. M. Williams, Mr. R. J. Jones, Mr. E. R. James. .and Mr. George Davies. The question of the secre- taryship was considered, and it was stated that Mx. J. Hugh Edwards had left the town, and could not therefore carry on the duties of the office. Me had however neglected to send in his resignation, and owing to this there had been a great oeal of delay.

. Board of Guardians.
Board of Guardians. The fortnightly meeting of this Board was held on Monday, when Mr. W. A. Miller (vice-chairman) ,presided in the absence of the chairman, and those ,also present were Rev. T. A. Penry, Rev. John Davis, Messrs. R. Edwards, J. B. Morgan, R. James, C. Davies, E. Jones, J. J .James, G. Fossett Roberts, J. Morgan, T. Powell, James Jones, Richard Jenkins, W. Morris, Daniel Morris, Evan Lewis, John Jones, R. Thomas, Evan Richards, William Hughes, and David Edwards, together with Mr. Bircham (L.G.B. Inspector), Mr. Hugh Hughes (clerk), and Mr. D. Davies (assistant clerk). THANKS. Lady Evans wrote as follows to the Clerk.— Dear Sir, I have to acknowledge the receipt of :our letter of June 1st, informing me that my application to the Guardians of the Aberystwyth Union for a grant towards the expenses of main- taining a district nurse had received their favour- able consideration, and that a grant of E10 annually would be made subject to the .approval of tiie Local Government Board. Please convey to the Guardians of the Aberystwyth Union, at their next meeting, my appreciation and grateful thanks for same. RESIGNATION. Robert Uren, the assistant to the master, wrote leadening his appointment and thanking the guardians for the sympathy shown him in his long fiicknesss—It was agreed to accept the .resignation and advertise for a successor. FIGURES. .Mr..T. Vaughan reported that the relief during the fortnight was £49 9s 6d to 64 recipients, Mr. J..J. Hughes' figures read £ 52 7s to 187 recipients; and Mr. J. Morgan, £ 44 5s to 135 recipients. The number in the house in the first week "was.35 against 48 in the corresponding period of last year second week, 35 against 44; vagrants, first week, 17 against 30 second week, 12 against ;13- MR. ATWOOD'S SALARY. The application of Mr. Atwood, assistant over- seer for the Aberystwyth district, for an iincrease of salary, which was referred to a committee con- sisting of the Aberystwyth members, was now re- ported on, Mr. Edwards saying that in. consequence of the increase in the duties they. recommended the increase of salary from £ 80 to B100 a yeaT. There were now no arrears on the books; when Mr Atwood took up the duties there were, £ 800 arrears. He proposed that the recommenda- 'tion:be A-dopted. .MI,T.,G.: Fossett Roberts seconded. Mr..J..B.. Morgan thought they should not pass this extra payment without every Guardian having notice, He was sorry to see that they voted L10 at the ilast meeting; the country members had Dotioe on Saturday, but it was inconvenient for many of them to attend. The ,C.-hairiman said the matter only affected Aberystwyth. however it Appeared that the proposition could not be carried legally without every member: of the board being -given notice of the matter, the matter vwas deferred to the next meeting. .-SHORT MEASURE. The DRev. T_'A. Penry submitted the report of., the: •house icoiaiimittee, .which contained practically: nothing of public .interest. Mr. Penry said the: cook and the. zujEse complained of the veryilittlei allowance, of meat they received—41bs. a week,.in-< eluding ba«>n.—Mr. Bircham said he believed the! cofctamany-ajmount was 71 bs. a week.—It was We-ed: rthart information: should be obtained from other! iJnions. J33MNIMOUSLY AGREED. Tffr jamas Jones moved that the relieving officers furnish the Board with the addresses and earnings of the tfemàle, ehildren of paupers, in order to ecaMe ithe .guardians to force these to contribute towards the.-support of their parents. He said the women »o,w jgot .better wages than the men. Sf they wanted a servant in the country for heavy work they had: to: pay. her £18 or £20 a year, and an ordiiaskry gitl ^SK&S paid. £ 12 or £ lo- He did not* say they gotitooiaauch, but he believed they wêDe; quite as aDle ito .-support their parents as theiri brothers were. The Rev. T. JA..Penry .seconded, and it vrae, agreed to. BiEMARKS;BTr THE INSPECTOR. > Mr. Bir«iiam ,taf«n._gave a brief address on ques- tions affecting the Board of Guardians. The Aber-: jstwyth Umax,, -hcsii(],stood about ninth or tenth I on his list for Wflles. and Monmouthshire as re-. garded the percentage of pauperism. For the whole of England and Wales the percentage was 2-3; Aberystwyth was J2 5, slightly higher than the average, bat considerably lower than the average for Wales aad Monmouthshire, which was 3'1. ] The average oost per, bead for relief -in Wales and Monmouthshire \was -4/li; in the Aberystwyth Union it was .and the.interest taken in each case separately an the Union was likely to settle several vexed questions. Mr. Bircham advised that they should endeavour to classify between rfchose recipients >of .relief .who had become so through their OWJC tilthy or intemperate habits, and the others who had become chargeable to the Union through mo ia-ult of their own, and this senti- nt was greeted with applause. He commended ALP resolution they bad passed with rega-d to the earnings of paupers' daughters, and wçllt on to deg.1 with the eameepondeftce which had passed between the Local ^Government Board ,and the AWrvstwyth Board of Guardians as to tie relief and-.Taccination araaijgementc, which he seid had got oo complicated ttEat he ithought it would be be tttr- if he discussed thereatter with the com- mitter There was -easily one thing to be c-to appoint a fresh petsce .altogether for the sub- registejtfion district of Aberystovyth. Proceeding, he saiC1 he was glad to hear tkat the Boacçbad decided to contribute to & diai^ict nurse, ant he was perfectly certain thai it .wae&ue right thiw to do. He ,&ad heard guardians -$Y, Why sia(waid We pay is-or a district numge.; our parish is in Ithe hills, ada^vare shall never .«se ,a district nurse." Bst they mast ^remember that a skilled «urse very often could poonkcnt the loss of the head of a family In her .absence, and without good nursiRg the man miglit die, and his femily be cast on the rates, iand that would c&ean an expense all over the uiuotu not on one particular parish. He j Ihoped to see tbe time when Cardigan would be the ( same as Merioneth, which, although even more billy and scattered (than Cardigan, had a network of district uwses even for the aaast out-of-the vcay places. -He- had preached in and out of season, and whoever he could, the value, econo- mically as well .as morally, of the guardians reeegnising these voluntary institutions. There was.another point which might be interesting to them, because it brought out the common-sense of Welshmen. He was furnished the other day with statistics of the nutfitacr of children who had been exempted from vaccination owing to the new law allowing conscientious .objection. The number of children who had been exempted in England and Wales was 230,000. Out of this Wales had only contributed 230 (hear. bear). That showed, he thought, that the Welsh were very sensible, and that they had been sensible in years gone by, and bad always been well vaccinated. The new law had, however, brought two great boons—one, the visitiug at the home of the parents of the vaccina- tion officer, thifb obviating the conveyance of the child to the vaccination station, sometimes a long distance, and the other the government supply of calf lymph. The population ,of England and Wales were computed at present at 29,000,000. Wales and Monmouthshire were estimated to have a total of 2,000,000 population, about one-iffteenth of the total population, and the that they contributed only one-thousandth of the unvac- cinated children was, lie thought, very satis- factory, (hear, hear). It was agreed that Mr. Birchara should met. the bouse committee on Tuesday afternoon.
TOWN TALK IN ABERYSTWYTH.
TOWN TALK IN ABER- YSTWYTH. HOLY TRINITY CHANCEL CONSECRATION. People said:— That Wednesday's services were dignified, and above the ordinary run. That the presence of the three bishops was proof of the respect in which the Vicar is held. That the Bishop of St. David's is happy in all his arrangements. That his part in the service of consecration was rendered with reverence and ease, without the least fuss or worry. That the manner in which the Vicar read the Epistle was an object lesson to many a minister. That every word was clearly and distinctly beard at the furthest end of the building. That the same must be said of the reading of the Gospel by the Archdeacon of Cardigan. That the choir did its share well, and did not flag nor weary during the long service. That the Bishop of Chester preached a timely and much needed sermon. That the text The Lord sent them two and two before His face," was so striking as to immediately command attention. That all ministers would do well to heed his words as to the necessity of not yielding to the autocratic temperament. That he said a necessary word about pastoral visitation. That his excellent quotation from Emerson., the old Unitarian minister of Boston, was happy and appropriate, and showed the Bishop's breadth of thought. That if ministers needed the Bishop's lesson, so too did the laity. That there is much truth in the homely adage as to sweeping one's own doorstep. That the Bishop of Hereford's sermon was full of good things. That his expression of a University for the people, and used by the people," is one that must stick in the memory. That it was characteristic of the Vicar to dis- claim his responsibility for work done in the parish. That everyone knows the Vicar to be the leading spirit in the building of the visible and invisible' Church in this parish. That the key-note of the day's /proceedings was; charity in all things, the charity that thinketh no evil. PHILIP SIDNEY.

WORLD IN A WEEK.
WORLD IN A WEEK. Six miles of the Soudan Railway have been washed away by a storm. A telegram from Laggan, Alberta Province, states that 25 or 30 Indians were drowned last week whilst crossing the Lake of Clouds. Large works are being erected on the site of the old Mwyndy Iron Ore Works, Llantrisant, for the manufacture of mineral paints. Temperance people particularly will regret to hear of the death of Dr. Norman Kerr, which occurred at Hastings late on Tuesday night. A mail train, the pneumatic brake of which failed to act, dashed through the station buildings at Flushing on Thursday night, shattering walls and doors, the two guards being killed and two drivers severely injured. The Khalifa's movements from Sherkeilah are not quite known. According to the last report, he was moving to the south-east, evidently intending to cross the White Nile. His force was under 3,000, mostly camelmen and horsemen, with five emirs. The French Court of Cassation on Saturday afternoon delivered its judgement, ordering the revision of the conviction of Ex-Captain Dreyfus, and a new trial by a new court-martial at Rennes. The exile is to be brought home at once and is expected to land at Brest about the 26th of this month. Advices from Bitlis report that at the village of Nerog, near Mush, eight agitators fired on troops, wounding a sergeant and a Turkish official. The soldiers fired back, killing every 'one of their eight assailants. At another village the Armenians killed five Turks, and seven Armenians were arrested. It is officially announced that the sum to be paid by Germany for the Carolines and other Spanish Islands will be about one million sterling. Spain will keep one coaling station in each groiAp, and Germany will be required to defend those in case of war. Germany grants to Spain the most favoured nation clause. An important meeting of the Midland Unmarked Bar Association was held at Birmingham on Thurs- day to consider the question tf discounts :and prices. It was decided unanimously to advance the prices 10s a ton, making barc k7 10s Od. It was also resolved to increase extracts for cut lengths to 5s. A circular will be sent to members asking their opinion as the abolition of discounts. Sir A. Milner and President Kruger met at the White House at Bloomfontein on Wednesday morn- ing and were introduced by President Steyn. It is stated that Sir Alfred spoke in Dutch to the President, who was favourably impressed. The Conference opened in the afternoon, and the sitting lasted an hour and forty minutes. Mr. Fischer, who acted as interpreter, took the head of the table. It was agreed that the proceedings should be kept secret. In accordance with the intention of the Emperor William, the text was published at Berlin last week of a Bill providing for the protection of work- men willing to work during strikes. From the particulars telegraphed it appears that the measure is Draconic in character, penalties, ranging as high as five years' imprisonment :being provided for. There is small chance of the Bill passing the Reichstag in its present shape. The official celebration in London of the Queen's eightieth birthday took place -on Saturday. Many thoroughfares were decorated-and in the evening illuminated. A large number of people assembled to witness the ceremony of trooping the colours at the Horse Guards' Parade, which was one of the principal events of the day. At night Lord Salis- bury, Mr. Balfour, and other Ministers gave the usual full-dress banquets in honour of the birth- day. Alice Alcock (39), a married woman, was re- manded at Fottingham on Saturday, charged with causing toe death of her mother on Whit Monday. Prisoner, it. is alleged, severely knocked her mother abort on the day in question, causing her death. A bent poker was found in the house, and is sup- posed to have been the weapon with which the fatal injuries to the head were caused. Prisoner went away early next morning, .and was subse- quently discovered in London. She denies the charge. France is once more uneasy. A series of violent and organised demonstrations were made last Sunday against President Loubet on the race- course at Auteuil. Count Christiani attempted to hit the President with a stick, but he was promptly arrested. The ground was cleared by the Republican Guard, and many more arrests were made. In the scuffle a police inspector had his head cut open. The Order of the Legion of ;Honour has been bestowed upon him. A Cabinet t.Council was called to consider the situation. An inquest was held near Bromyard, on. fiaturday, on the body of a child, aged six, the daughter of .Fanny Gurney. It appears that a brother of the woman picked up a rabbit in a wire and took it ihome. The grandfather and grandmother of the child ate the rabbit and gave some to the child. Immediately afterwards all became ill, and the child died next morning. A post-morten examina- tion revealed the fact that the stomach was in- flamed, and a,verdict of Death froma inflammation, the cause being unknown," was returned. The woman died on Saturday afternoon,, .and the man ilies in a very critical state. There are strong indications that President Kruger and Sir A. Milner are approaching an agreement on the Transvaal questions. There is reason to believe that the Transvaal Volk-sraad, in a secret session before the departure of President Kruger from Pretoria, gave him full power to act. upon questions which had formed the subject fo, previous correspondence. It is believed in influen- tial quarters here that the Free State would only' join the Transvaal if the latter's independence were: .threatened-war or no war. On Wednesday at the Clerkenwell Police-court, Mr. Horace Smith ordered a cabman, who was charged with being. drunk during his employment, to pay a fine of 40s, in default one month's im- driaonment with haid labour. The defendant was unable to pay the fine, and was removed to the cells. After the cabmau had been conveyed to the prison .van to gaol, it was discovered that he had been relieving the monotony of incarceration by numer- ous delineations on the cell door. Among them was. the following poetic effusion, neatly scratched in capitals: A pity 'tis that we are here, For drinking just a drop of beer, At present I feelwery sad, When my month's up, I shall be glad, The! labour troubles at Riga have culminated in .a serious conflict between the strikers and the military, .in which the latter had to resort to rifle :fire. The strike arose out of a reduction in wages in a jute factory. About200 men and women were arrested and temporarily confined in one of the jpublic gardens. These prisoners attracted by their cries the workers of other factories on their way home, and the latter assembled in great force and attempted to rescue their Mends. Firemen played the hose upon the crowd, but without effect. The .railings were broken down, and rescuers and res- cued, effected a juncture in time to face troops who were then sent against them. The troops were assailed with volleys of stones and handfuls of aanil, the women working furiously. The soldiers fired blank rounds and then with ba.l cartridge. Seventyreight of the rioters were hit. Of these five were instantly killed and twenty-three severely wounded. The .rioters then dispersed, but later in the evening houses and shops were pillaged and iired, great destruction being done. Many citizens not er^gaged in the conflicts were injured. THE FRENCH PRESIDENT ATTACKED. President Loubet was last Sunday the subject of sm organised hostile demonstration of consider- able prqportions and violence on arriving at Auteuil racecourse in a ,carriage with M. Dupuy and General Bailloud. Arrests were made wholesale, and before order vas restored close upon 200 pec-sons were conveyed to the police station. Most .<i)f them wore released after their names and addresses ,had been taken. Nearly all the persons arrested are prominent Royalists, among them being the .Coiute de tCostellane, Maasquis Roch- echouai'.t, and the Comte de Dion. H^ien Presi- dent Loubet, was leaving the racecourse he was pelted with egg5 by a handful of men who on being charged by the police fled in all directions. The man who attempted to :strike the President is Baron Feaand de Christiani, aged 45, a prominent Royalist and members of several aristocratic, clubs. Hi was roughly handled in .the struggle, aaad his face was cohered with bloovi, When he Beached the police station Œ: declined to give any explana- tion of his conduct. During the evening tiev-eral Monarchito;called at his residence, and one of them left his card with the word Bravo written upon it. THE NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD. The entries for the literary and musical com- petitions to take place at the Welsh National Eis- teddfod, to be held at Cardiff commencing July 18, are now closed. Excepting the competition for the chair ode and the chief choral contest, the entries are certainly well up to the average, and in many cases are far ahead. The competitions in poetry have as usual attracted a good number of bards, and for the eii-lvn there are no fewer than 118 entries. The literary section is faiily strong, and the fet of subjects is one of the beit recent |y compiled. It is rather curious, however, to note that among- a people so much given to the study of theology there should be no entry for a history of theology and exposition in Wales, that only two writers should have attempted to prepare a Welsh handbook giving a concise aistory of religious revivals in Wales, and that at z time when the use of Welsh in day schools is so much recommended there should be no response to the call for gradu- ated bilingual reading-books, vith vocabulary, for the use of schools. In the musical section there is no scarcity of competitors, the solo competitions being as usual especially well patronised. The tenor solo heads the list with 82 entries. In the instrumental section the pianoforte is by far the most popular instrument, and the violin comes next. The viola seems to liave been omitted altogether. THE ELLIS MEMORIAL. On Friday night a public meeting was held at Welshpool, to consider the advisability of joining in the national memorial to the late Mr. T. E.Ellis. The Vicar (the Rev. Grimaldi Davies) proposed That this meeting desires to express its sense of the invalvable services rendered to Wales by the late Mr. T. E. Ellis, and welcomes the proposal to raise a national testimonial to him, the money to be devoted partly, if not wholly, to promote the interests of education, and pledges itself to do all in its power to further the movement." The Rev. T. C. Jones seconded the resolution, which was carried. Mr. Robert Owen was appointed treasurer, Mr. Richard Jones secretary, and a committee was elected to collect subscriptions. A MILLION MACKERELL. During the past week it is computed that more than a million mackerel were landed at and despatched from Newlyn, near Penzance. This means that several hundred fishermen secure the fish anywhere between sixty and twenty miles from the land. Two or three hundred craft are engaged in the capture. Perhaps 300 miles of nets were shot for that purpose. Secondly, it calls for the aid of a little army of workers on shore, and the baggage-train of a brigade in the shape of horses, waggons, lurries, a flotilla of row-boats (IT bum- boats, many scores of packers, ice-preparers, and odd hands, scores of tons of ice used for keeping the fish cool, scores of tons of straw and paper used for package, perhaps 30,000 boxes laden and sent up the line.

THE LAND QUESTION.i
THE LAND QUESTION. SIR,-Many are anxious to re-people the land, and to establish rural communities that will have bright social and educational advantages such as are now only possible in towns. This can only be done when there is a Co-operative Society in which a number of families form a commune and organize themselves so as to secure these advantages and other great economic benefits. There are three classes of men who would probably wish to form such a commune or co-operative colony, and who would be likely to make it thoroughly successful. 1. Men who have been brought up on the land, and are acquainted with various kinds of farm- work, and who, having made a little money in town life, now wish with their small capital to occupy a small holding under the favourable conditions re- ferred to. 2. Men who are now on the land in larger farms, but who find their capital insufficient to work them successfully, and who may be even losing money upon them. Many such men would be glad to remain on the land in such a co-operative colony. Readers of that striking novel Jonathan Merle" will remember how the farmer who drifted into the city and sank in its maelstrom, sighed for some such holding as is now offered at Lingfield, and I believe there are many such who would delight in a small holding, and would be able to make a com- fortable living upon it. 3. Many enterprising agricultural labourers, who have been able to save a little money by their work on allotments are now prepared to make a distinct advance upon their present mode of life by becoming small holders. These men have the skill, and the industry necessary for the thorough and intensive cultivation of a small holding, and by means of co-operation all they do in the way of production, purchase and sale, could be done to tke,very best advantage. Such men, therefore, should be encouraged to take up small holding on a co-operative colony such as it is now proposed to form alongside the Training Colony at Lingfield, and which is described in the following statement. I accordingly beg the favour of the publication of this letter and statement in your journal.—Faith- fully yours, J. B. PATON. The Lingfield estate was purchased not only to be, if .possible, a model Training Colony for those who-sought work and were fit for work, but who could not ifind it elsewhere; but also to provide land for the Colony, of another type, namely, a Co- operative of small holders. For this purpose 96 acres of good arable and grass land have been set apart. Upon this it is hoped that twelve indus- trious men and their families may be settled, each man holding upon an average eight acres, a quantity which. it is believed, will be sufficient for one man, providing he cultivates the land in the most perfect way by spade labour. Of course there must be minor and auxiliary outdoor industries, such as poultry rearinglithe producing of eggs, pig feeding rabbit farming, bee keeping, etc. Indoor .industries should also be organized, for which some technical skill is required, and for which some technical education must be given. These industries will occupy the long winter evenings, and the inclement days when work out of doors is impossible. The main elements, however, in such a Colony, without which it will fail of perfect success, is the ;Co-operative element. The several tenants will hold .on a permanent tenure under a Co-operative Society of which they themselves are members, and the affairs of which they wiil conduct under their own committee. This Co-operative Society will .undertake, or will assist in, the :purchase and sale of commodities needed by the tenants, or pre- pared for market by them, and will also own such machinery and horses as {may be required for the tenants. The. Society will also establish a Co- operative Credit Bank on the Rainffeisen method, which has given such wonderful stimulus and help to the small tenants and proprietary farmers in Germany, France and Italy. As the land has been set apart for this purpose the director of the Ling- field Colony is now in a position to receive applica- tions from industrious men, who are thoroughly acquainted with agricultural work, and who would be prepared to settle on such small holdings under the conditions named. It will be necessary for each applicant to have at his command, either of his own money or through friends, a capital of about £8 an acre, so as to be able to contribute something to the stocking of his holding. By means of an agricultural credit society he might be sssisted in more fully stocking his farm, and possibly in the erection of a cottage farm steading. The directors would be glad to hear from any suit- able men, and would be grateful to any reader of this paper who know of men suitable to become pioceers of sueh a model colony, if they would in- form such maa of the offer now made to them. Enquiries may be addressed to English Land Colonization Society, 37, Norfolk-street, Strand, W.C. P.S.—May we say that in addition to the above the English Land Colonization Society has been offered five or six farms by proprietors who are willing to give permanent tenure or its equivalent, and otherwise to facilitate settling on small hold- ings on advantageous terms.
PENRHYNCOCH.
PENRHYNCOCH. CONCERT.—On Friday evening a very successful concert and competitive meeting was held at the Baptist Chapel.

Yorkshire Pudding.
Yorkshire Pudding. To make this, beat three eggs very very light. Add one scant, teaspoonful of salt and one pint of milk. Pour half a cupful of this mixture on a scant cupful of flour, and stir to a smooth paste. Add the remainder of the mixture and beat well. Bake in hot gem pans 45 minutes. Baste with drippings from the beef. This is a more convenient way than to bake in the pan under the beef, and gives more crust. Serve as agariiish for roost beef.
MORWYR CYMRU.
MORWYR CYMRU. [GAN CYNEFIN CYFARWYDD.] [YR All, LITH.] Yr ydym yn canfod nad oes fawr obaith am i longwr hel llawer o bres. yn enwedig os bydd ganddo wraig a theulu. Ei unig obaith ydyw yr half-deck am gyflog cysurus, ac y mae yn dda genyf feddwl ei fod ef yn sylweddoli ei amcanion gan fynychaf. Nis gwn am ddosbarth sydd yn curo y morwyr am ymorol am yr hen bobl adref. Agorwch chwi'r Crew List a fynoch, ac anaml y gwelwch chwi enw Cymro heb yr half-pay gyferbyn, Meined ag yw ei fyd, fe ran y llongwr ei geniog naill a'i deulu neu ei rieni. Nis gwn i pa sawl gwraig weddw ocdranus yn Nghymru sydd yn dibynu yn unig ar enillion bychain ei mhab ar y mor. A welsoch chwi erioed yr hen fam yn disgwyl yn bryderus am y tren sydd yn dwyn ei phlentyn adref ar ol bod i ffwrdd am ddwy flynedd, ac ynteu yn gwthio haner ei gorpws drwy ffenestr y cerbyd, ac yn chwifio ei gap pig-gloyw ei oreu glas ? Mi welais i hyn droion, ac mi ym- falchais yn fy ngwaed Cymreig, Mi wn y bydd ambell i glercyn yn barod i ddweyd fod enillion y llongwr yn fwy yn mhen blwyddyn na'i enillion ef. Ond gan bwyll. Mae yn rhaid i'r llongwr dalu am ei ddillad, ei arogldarth, a phob amheuthun ar ben fwyd y llong, ac er fod y swm ar ddiwedd y fordaith yn edrych yn arian mawr i'r sawl sydd yn gorfod ei dalu, nid yw ond cyflog truenus am y gwaith. Pedair awr o gwsg a dwy o seibiant bob dydd; bwyd diflas o hen gig hallt gwydnach na chareiau esgidiau, a bara caled-a chaled ydyw mewn gwirionedd-ymenyn yn fynych yn debycach i saim gwydd nag i falm y gwartheg; a marmalade-i arbed yr ymenyn- wedi eu wneuthur o'r aurafalu sydd yn tyfu a dail wrth eu penau mewn cae-wel, cae maip. A dyma lie mae hi yn sobr; anfynych y telir digon o gyflog i gael cook da, a phan y bydd bwyd sal wedi ei goginio gan cook salach-yr offt fawr iddo! Nid rhyfedd fod y bechgyn wrthi yn dyfeisio rhyw gymysgfa newydd ar y bwydydd, megys Yankee Funk, Dog's Body," a phethau rhytedd ereill. Dyna'r gwaith hefyd-dwy awr neu dair yn stowio y foresail yn ngauaf erchyll Cape Horn, a'r rhaffau i gyd wedi rhewi fel barau heyrn; gweithio cargo glo ar y West Coast, a digon o wres i danio cetyn heb gymhorth matsen; a darbod erbyn ymryson codwm a'r hen Frenin Angeu pan y clywir ei lais yn nhoriad y brigau. A newidi di dy wely plu, dy inio tblasus, a llafur dy bin, yn lie byd y morwr ? Dim peryg, fy machgen i. Mae'r agierlongau yn newid pethau yn ddirfawr. Mae yn haws cael bwyd da arnynt hwy, yn enwedig os byddant yn cludo teithwyr. Ar rai agerlongau y bum i arnynt, yr oedd bwyd y llongwyr yn ddifai i ddanedd y stiward tir balchaf yn y deyrnas. Mae'r gwaith yn ysgafnach, neu o leiaf yn llai peryglus nag ar y Wind-jammer," yn enwedig ar y Liners mawrion, ond eto i gyd mae yno gyflawnder o waith digon budr i'r deck- hands. 0 ran y tramps, mae gwych a gwael, ac y mae rhai yn wael melldigedig. Mi wn y bydd rhai yn barod i ofyn ar unwaith, os YVX cyflog yn well a'r agerlong a'r bwvd yn rhagorach, paham y mae i'r llonwyr yn dal at y llong hwyliau? Gallaf finau sicrhau, ar ol ymchwil shir, fod y cyflog at ei gilydd yn fwy ar y Hong hwyliau, oblegid fod mordeithiau yr agerlong mor fyrion, a dim tal i'w gael tra byddant adref. Gall lloEgwr hel mwy o bres ar long hwyliau nac agerlong, gan fod y fordaith dan hwyliau yn cyraedd yn ami at 20 mis, neu beth bynag at flwyddyn ar y lleiaf, a'r pres yn croni yn ddidor, a'r hyd yr amser. Pan y bydd morwr wedi cael ei docyn, mae pethau yn wahanol. Os ceir lie gyda ffirm dda, fe dal yn well o ddim rheswm iddynt ar yr agerlong, heblaw y cysuron am ben hyny. Ond o ddiffyg ymarfer siarad lol a benywod a chapio i'r "bydd- igion sydd yn teithio ar yr agerlongau mawrion, nid yn fynych y mae y Cymro yn cipio y lleoedd brasaf ar y mor; y cargo-boat a'r tramp yw ei gylch ef, a dyma He mae eisieu dyn a rhywbeth am- genach na siarad bach yn ei benglog. Nid oes gwell swyddogion a meistradoedd llongau nag sydd yn dod o Gymru. Nid ydynt ar ol neb am gario arni a chadw eu hwyliau; nid oes neb ar y blaen arnynt mewn deall cyflym a gwybod- aeth trwyadl, ac ni cheir pan y dychwelant, ragor- ach cyfeillion na challach cymydogion. Wrth edrych ar ol eu llongau, dynion call a gofalus a ganfum i ein capteiniaid erioed. Mae llawer mwy na hwylio llong yn dibyu ar y Capten, ac os na cheir dyn call i ofalu am fusnes* y llong yn y gwled- ydd pell, a hen rychor gwefl-galed i fargeinio a'r Tug, ac i arbed costau ereill wrth ddyfod adref, ni fyddai waeth i neb hwylio cafn mochyn am hyny o elw a ddeilliai. Yn wahanol i gyflog y llongwr, mae eiddo y Capten yn dibynu i raddau mawr ar faintioli ei long a'i thrafnidiaeth. Mae rhai yn derbyn yn dda ac ereill yn bechadurus o fychan; ac yn fy myw nis gallaf feio ar yr olaf am chwilio am ychwan- egiad drwy'r main-hatch. Eithaf gwaith i'r sawl a dyr ar eu gyflog. Yn gyffredin mae'r Captein- iaid yn cael elw ar y slops a'r baco a werthir i'r llongwyr, ac yn cael rhyw ychydig am gludo llythyrau o Australia i'r West Coast. Mi wn am un ffirm sydd mor grintach a mynu cael yr {elw ar y baco eu hunain. Wrth reswm, ar y Liners, nid yw'r Capten yn derbyn ond ei gyflog, ond cofier mai cyflog da ydyw, fel y gall yn hawdd hebgor y pethau ereill. Pan y rhydd y Cymro y goreu i'r mor, bydd ganddo, gan fynychaf, hen hosan go hir wrth gefn, ac fe bryn ei dyddyn, ac fe fydd yn frenin bach yno tra byddo byw. Mae genyf barch rhy ddi- ffuant ato i'w seboni-fe wyr pawb am dano, er nad yw pawb wedi sylweddoli bwysiced ran ydyw o genedl y Cymry. Un gair ychwaneg. Mae un hen gast melldi- gedig yn ffynu ymhlith llawer o Arolygwyr Llongau, sef gorfodi ar y Capten i suddo arian yn ei long, heb gytundeb i'w codi pan y bydd yn ym- adael. Mae'n beth digon cnafaidd gwthio y shares arno am grogbris, i ddechreu—ac y mae llawer un yn gorfod benthyca i wneuthur hyn-ond pan droir y creadur o'i long am y peth lleiaf yn y byd, dyna lie bydd ei arian yn y llong a'r un beulan goch ganddo i brynu ei le ar long arall. Dim peryg i'r Capten newydd gymeryd ei shares ef, oblegid bydd raid i hwn ddadlwytho yr Arolygwyr o rai ychwaneg o'u shares hwy eu hunain. Mae peth fel hyn yn hollol anonest, ac yn gam ar y shareholders ereill ogystal a'r Capten. Yn lie dewis y dyn goreu at wneuthur i'r llong dalu, mae nhw yn myned ati i chwilota hyd y wlad am yr hwn a all gymeryd fwyaf o shares ganddynt. Fe wyr Capteiniaid Cymru yn eithaf da am yr hen gast bawlyd, ac mi wn fod ambell un yn galaru beunydd am ei golledion. Rhwydd hynt i'n morwyr ymfalchiwn ynddynt; ac os y bydd y rhelyw o honom mor barchus, mor bybyr, a mor wladgarol a hwy, bydd gobaith ein gweled ni, yn genedl, yn parchu ein hunain.
THE NEW TOWN AT Barmouth Junction.
THE NEW TOWN AT Barmouth Junction. LAYING OF THE FOUNDATION STONE. An interesting ceremony, which was however witnessed by very few people, took place at Bar- mouth Junction on Friday afternoon, when Mr. S. Andrews, of Cardiff and London, the gentleman who has done so much to develope Pwllheli, laid the foundation-stone of the first of the eight houses which are being constructed as the commencement of the proposed new town. It is understood that Mr. Andrews intends developing Barmouth Junc- tion. His estate, which contains the well-known Vegla Fach and Vegla Mawr mounds, surrounds the Junction, and runs up to Arthog in one direction, and Bwlch Gwyn in the other. It consists of about 700 acres, and is about two miles long. Mr. Andrews has already constructed a tramway from the Dolgelley road up to the Vegla Farm, and ultimately intends taking it as far as Arthog. The water supply of the new town is to be provided by damming up one of the valleys on the south side of the estate, and constructing a covered-in reservoir capable of holding about a quarter of a million gallons. The spring whence the water supply will proceed has never been known to stop even in the driest season. The waterworks are under the superintendence of Mr. Edwin Blakey, engineer, Barmouth. The ceremony on Friday was a very simple one. Mr. Andrews having laid the stone of the first house said a few words. He had, he said, taken the liberty of calling the street St. Mary- street, being the name of the street in Cardiff where his offices were situated. He hoped that the little place would develop into a small town worthy of its associations, and he also hoped that peace and happiness would reign there, and that it would prosper without much drunkenness. Another thing he hoped was that the town would be built without any accidents. Proceeding, he suggested that the inhabitants of the place should help themselves by providing a reading-room. There was a very great need of some means of educating the people in the district, and as an encouragement he offered to give a free site and fifty guineas to start a reading-room. He con- cluded by saying that he hoped the town would in time become an important centre for visitors (applause). Mr. Reed (stationmaster) said he was very glad to see Mr. Andrews taking up the movements there, and he hoped he would carry them through as he had in many other projects. One of the workmen present then gratefully accepted Mr. Andrews' offer with regard to the reading-room. There had been many difficulties before, but now they appeared to be swept away. Mr. Blakey, the engineer, also spoke in favour of the scheme, and the speaking concluded. Those present at the ceremony besides the workmen were Mr. and Mrs. Lucas (Friog), Mr. Blakey (engineer), Aly. Bwjamin, and Mr. Reed (stationmaster).

DAFYDD AB GWILYM. lllo Cyn gohiriad y Senedd dros wyliau y Sulgwyn, cafodd Mr. O. M. Edwards gyfleusdra i bleidleisio droion yn Nhy'r Cyffredin. Bu, hefyd, yn bresenol yn nghyferfod yr aelodau Cymreig. Dywedir fod Mr. Ellis J. Griffith, A.S., yn ei gwestiynau yn nghylch pethau yn y Transvaal, yn Nhy'r Cyffredin, yn cynnrychioli golygiadau lluaws mawr o'r Cymry sy'n byw yn y Transvaal. Aeth pentref cyfan ar dan yn Sweden yr wyth- nos ddiweddaf. Syrthiodd yr boll dai ac eiddo y trueiniaid yn aberth i'r fflamau. Bu ystorm ofnadwy yn Melilla, Morocco, dydd Llun. Ysgubwyd un gaerfa ac amryw dai ymaith, ond ni laddwyd neb. Bore Llun diweddaf fel yr oedd dyn o'r enw Rees Davies yn myned at ei waith yn Abercanaid daliwyd ef gan y trams wrth groesi y ffordd a chlwyfwyd ef fel y bu farw yn union. Y dydd o'r blaen fel yr oedd ceffyl Ffrengig o'r enw.;Holocauste, yn rhedeg yn y Derby, syrthiodd yn farw yn Ylman, a gwnaed eilun o hono gan yidorf wirion. Edmygent y ceffyl byw, ond addolent y creadur mawr. Yr wythnos ddiweddaf talodd Dr. Percival, esgob Hwlffordd, ymweliad ag Aberystwyth. Bu yn cymeryd rhan yn nghyssegriad Cangell newydd EglwysJJy Drindod, a bu yn anerch i myfyrwyr y Coleg ar werth a safle addysg. Llongyfarchodd y Cymry ar gyfansoddiad democrataidd eu hath- rofa, ac yn enwedig am fod dynion a merched wedi eu gosod ar yr un sefyllfa yn mhob peth. Cyfeiriodd hefyd at y gwaith mawr oedd wedi ei wneud yn Nghymru gan yr ysgolion canolraddol. Wrth derfynu talodd deyrnged uchel i gymeriad y diweddar Mr. Thomas E. Ellis, esiampl a gwaith yr hwn, meddai, a arosent am amser maith yn mywyd y genedl. Yr oedd gynt hen gymeriad ysmala yn byw yn Lerpwl, Owen Edwards, y crydd, yr hwn a fu gyda'r blaenaf yn y symudiad wladfaol i Patagonia. Byddai'r hen rychor yn palu ychydig bach wrth frolio'r Wladfa, ac mi glywais un yn dweyd mai rhywbeth tebyg i'r a gynlyn a fyddai ganddo:— Oes yna wlad go lew yn Mhatagonia, Owen Edwards? Gwlad go lew ? Mi faswn i'n meddwl yn wir i. Does na run carreg drwy'r wlad i gyd." Wedi ymgomio am ychydig amser, gofynid i Owen, Wel, mewn tai coed y mae nhw yn byw acw ynte 7" pryd yr atebai Owen yn ffwdanus, Tai coed, wir i, mae nhw yn dai ceryg splendid bob un." Aeth yr hen begor yn drech na'r di- weddar Dr. Hughes, Caernarfon, wrth ysgwrsio am y Mecca hwn unwaith. Gofynodd Dr. Hughes, Wel, Owen Edwards, yr ydach chi yn canmol gymaint ar Patagonia pam nad ewch chi yno? Ac ebe Owen, Wel," Dr. Hughes, Yr ydech chithe yn son gymin am y nefoedd pam nad ewch chi yno ?" Dydd Sul diweddaf gwnaed ymosodiad ar Arlywydd Ffraingc tra yr oedd ar ymweliad a'r rhedegfan. Yr oedd cryn gynwrf yn mhlith y lliaws pan wnaed yr ymosodiad. Gwaeddai rhai Hir oes i'r Fyddin," ac ereill I lawr a'r Ar- lywydd." Ac yr oedd yn debyg fod cynllwyn wedi ei wneyd am ei fywyd. Cynygiodd un or enw Count Cnristiani daro yr Arlywydd gyda ffon, a chymerwyd ef a llawer ereill yn garcharorion yn y man. Ymhen enyd torodd teimlad arall allan ymhlith rhan o dorf, a'r waedd yn awr ydoedd Byw fyth fo'r Arlywydd," ac I lawr a'r offeir- iaid." Y mae y Llys Ffrengig o'r diwedd fel pe yn bwriadu gwneyd cyfiawnder a Dreyfus-y swyddog milwrol sydd yn ol pob tebyg wedi ei alltudio ar gam. Y mae y wlad yn rhanol iawn ar ei achos. Myn rhai ei fod yn cael cam; tra yr haera ereill ei fod yn haeddu ei gospi. Ni cheir llonydd yn Ffraingc hyd nes y gwyntellir y mater yn llwyr. Ei achos ef oedd, yn ddiameu, wrth wraidd yr ymosodiad ar yr Arlywydd prydnawn Sabboth diweddaf. Nid pawb sydd yn gwybod, medd y Parch. Mef- enydd Morgan, mai Cymro glan, gloew, o sir Aber- teifi ydoedd y diweddar Archddiacon Jennings, yr hwn oedd blaenorydd Archddiacon (yn awr Deon) Farrar, yn y swydd o Archddiacon Westminster. Ie, Cymro cyffredin o gyffiniau Mynydd Bach, Llyn Aeddwen, sir Aberteifi, ydoedd Jennings. Saif cartref fore'i oes ryw naw milldir i'r de-ddwyrain o dref Aberystwyth. Brawd i'r Archddiacon ydoedd y diweddar Mr. Isaac Jennings, blaenor gyda'r Methodistiaid Calfinaidd yn nghapel Bethel, ger Llangwyryfon. Addysgwyd Jennings ynhen ysgol Ramadegol Ystrad Meurig, ac nid wyf sicr iddo fod mewn Prif Ysgol o gwbl. Anfonwyd ef ar y cyntaf i'r ysgol hono, i fod yn gwmpeini i fab yr hen Lwyd o Fabwys," yr hwn oedd yn un o ymddir- iedolwyr yr ysgol enwog; ac ni feddyliai neb y pryd hwnw am barotoi hogyn cyffredin, tlawd fel efe i fod yn Archddiacon Westminster, ond yn Archddiacon y daeth, er gwaethaf pawb a phobpeth Y TWRC A'R ARMENIAID. Y mae y Tyrciaid a'r Armeniaid yn ymosod ar eu gilydd eto. Yr wythnos ddiweddaf lladdwyd swyddog milwroljcfTyrcaidd. Taniodd y milwyr yn ol a lladdwyd wyth o'r Armeniaid. Mewn pentref arall lladdodd yr Armeniaid bump Twrc. TEULU WEDI EU GWENWYNO. Dydd Sadwrn cynhaliwyd trengholiad ar gorph geneth fechan chwe' mlwydd oedd yn Bromyard. Cafodd ei brawd cwningen mewn magi, ac aeth a hi adref a gwnaed prydfwyd o honi. Cymerwyd yr holl deulu yn glaf, bu farw y ferch y bore canlynol a'i mham y prydnawn yr un diwrnod. Y mae y lleill mewn cyflwr peryglus. COLEG DUWINYDDOL Y BALA. Cynaliwyd cyfarfod o bwyllgor gweithiol Coleg Duwinyddol y Bala yn Ngbaer. ddydd Mawrth, o dan lywyddiaeth Mr. J. R. Davies, Bangor, er ystyried y ceisiadau i lenwi y ddwy swydd o ddar- lithwyr oedd yn wag. Derbyniwyd pedwar o geis- iadau, a'r ddau ymgeisydd a ddetholwyd oeddynt: Y Parch. E. O. Davies, Bala, cynorthwywr presenol y Prifathraw Edwards, a'r Parch J, Puleston Jones, Dinorwig, Bangor. Pasiodd y pwyllgor bleidlas o gydymdeimlad a theulu y diweddar ysgrifenydd, y Parch R. H. Morgan, Bangor, yr hwn oedd wedi llwyddo i godi y swm o 21,000p. tuagat y coleg. Y maey Parch John Owen, Wyddgrug, yn gweithredu fel ysgrifenydd yn bresenol. GWARTH PRYDAIN. Nos Fawrth cododd John Morley ei lais yn Nhy y Cyffredin, mewn araeth rymus, yn erbyn gwaitb barbaraidd swyddogion y fyddin Brydeinig yn hologi bedd y Mahdi, trwy godi corph yr hen ryfelwr a'u daflu i'r afon Nile a dryllio ei feddrod. Gwae 'r wlad, meddai Mr. Morley, pan y ceisir cyfiawnhau gweithredodd o'r fath. Ni ddarfu i'r Mahdi ei hun ymddwyn fel hyn tuag at y Prydeiniaid. Parchai lwch y meirw, ac yr oedd yn warth annileadwy arnom fel cenedl war- eiddiedig ein bod yn caniatau i'n swyddogion i wneuthur pethau mor ysgeler a wnai i'r barbar wrido. EISTEDDFOD CAERDYDD A'R DDIOD. Cynnaliwyd cyfarfod arbenig o bwydgor gweithiol Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Caerdydd, ddydd Gwener, pryd yr oedd cynnulliad lluosog yn bresenol, gan y cymerid dyddordeb mawr yn yr ail ail ymgais wnaed i ddileu y penderfyniad i werthu diodydd meddwol ar dir yr Eisteddfod. Ar yr amgylchiad blaenorol collwyd cynnygiad i ddileu y penderfyniad trwy fwyafrif o ddau. Yn awr yr oedd dirprwyaeth yn bresennol oddiwrth Gynghor Anghydifurfwyr Caerdydd. Annogent y pwyllgor i ail ystyried y mater yn ngwyneb y gwrthwynebiad mawr godid i'r penderfyniad drwy hyd a lied y wlad. Mewn atebiad i gais am danysgrifiacl ysgri- fenai y Mri. Cory yn addaw lOOp. ar yr ammod nas gwerthid diodydd meddwol. Ar ol dadl faith rhanwyd y ty, a chafwyd mwyafrif o wyth yn erbyn gwerthu diodydd meddwol.
