The Man About Town. The town is beginning to look gay once iy. ore. We have greeted tliii unusual visit of line weather with natural suspicion, and have not been in a hurry to be taken in by it. So often has a gleam of suimhine acted as a tempting bait to lure us to certain ruin that we have grown wise from experience, anti examine the morsel very closely to detect the presence of a hook. Cut at length people are faking jlear, There is no resisting the sunshine. Summer sut -i, laid aside with many a bitter smilc, are taken down new dresses whose charms have been hidden in musty wardrobe, and whoso folds speak redolently of camphor, are aired once more. For week s the streets have been dull and gloomy. They have not glittered with new costumes. We liave missed with a sigh the dress of glorified cream the sparkling hues of red and blue the flower- spangled bonnet; the delicate parasol the flaunting lace; and the easy grace of fight attire. The grand panorama of colour which makes the promenade a thing of beauty has even yet not made its appear- ance. But day by day the streets are becoming more attractive. „ A wonderful difference to the town such weat her niztkei 'I lie sun is a practised lady's maid; "makes up the town so that it can gcai-ca be recognised. It finds an her weak spots, alJd hide., them all in a gleam of red it freshens UM the doubtful places, covers her defects, An-i calN i'. aii rh n beauties of her iHCf. Buildings which looked dowdy and old sud- denly become animated and youthful. Dull town bal1."I are actually vivacious even fish shops and millinory establishments— aversion of the mtiily soul !—become pass- able, 'j he pavements look less doleful, the gutters dismiss their tears, the roads become j vigorous and buoyant. We lind points where only angularities were visible before and what through the distorted medium of the rain looked heavy sodden blocks of aimless stone suddenly shoot up into grace- ful proportion. Then there is an ever varying beauty of light and shade, and the sunshine, passing along the cornicos and the ridges of the roofs, sharply defines thom, so that they stand out clearly and pic- turesquely, instead of dying away in the same dreary sotnbreness into the dull grey sky. I have no'.icod, too, a sudden revival of good spirits. There is an air of sprightliness in the walk of everybody ono meets they strut about briskly and sniff the air with relish. The barricade of great coat and um- brella is removed the charms of woman's figure no longer pine ill neglect beneath the unlovely contour of the mackintosh. There is a tendency to dawdle, to gossip, to stand at street comers and obstruct the traffic. < hie hears happy whispers of the holidays. The hotel bar does not seem somehow to be so attractive as it was a week ago, and whisky is weighed in the balance with ozone and found wanting. The merchant decks himself with a mature and ample tlower; the clerk looks radiant amid his bewildering charms the maiden crosses the street with- out the agony of fear and the torturing dismay called forth by lurking puddles. Cab- men look rosy and fat. They lounge in cabs and look upon their fare with scorn. Even Town Councillors des- cend from their lofty pedestal and consent to be a little less wise and a little more social. It becomes a difficult matter to steer one'a way through the street. One is jostled about good huraouredly, but one is polite, and the tongue does not endorse the promissory ejaculation of tho face. Life really becomes a little intermMug, and we begin to realise how much wo can do by doing nothing There lias be ell universal grumbling at the season's strawberries but, those who are captured by th.3 solider charms of cold beef are rejoicing at the success of the tomato. That brilliant-looking fruit— or i" it vegetable ?—has appeared in strong force, and is insinuating its presence into every tempting dish. It i i laigely grown in South Wales, and I presume many wiil not be aware of the enor- mous popularity which it enjoys. A local gentleman informs me that last year he supplied a great many tons of it to a single shop at Cardiff And yet medical evidence wages fierce battles over the irre- sistible tomato. Whilst it is contended that nothing could be better suited to the digestion of man, it is heatedly re- joined that it encourages cancer. Science, however, is fond of making us terrified at our oldest friends of the table, whether tea, water, or potato. If we were to oat thirty tomatoes a day, there might be a germ of cancer in a year or two but n. one is likely to try the experiment. Is the day of the "gallant British tai- sung of so hoarsely in the ballads of the past, gone by ? He was a brown, brawny, strong-muscled fellow, with an affection for twist and rum, but a sound theologian at heart and always "true to Poll." He was a match for any three foreigners, and had a reputation for slapping his chest as punctua- tion for his remarks, as well as for spinning long yarns which landlubbers likened to with awe. '1. But the cry has gone up that the British j ciptain has forgotten his Marryat, and has lost patriotism in parsimony. The gallant tar is found to be a costly luxury, and the uncouth Lascar is taking his place. Our seamen are finding that they are not wanted, and that these dark skinned. foreigners are rapidly taking their j places. They are not gentlemen who attract by the sublimity of their faces or by the refinement of their manners but their ways are simple, and require but little for their support. The law has been appealed to ia vain and now the saiior himself, or his friend the docker, has taken the matter in hand, and hence such a strike as occurred at Barry Dock yesterday, or at Kewport a week ago. After all, there is something even in days when sentiment is hunted about like a wild animal in the virtue of patriotism. No one likes to think of British ships being manned by Lascars and their kin. It knocks the poetry out of all our ballads, and reduces Jack" with all his legendary history to a very low level. Could we imagine the hsr; who l,.ved a sailor putting up with an olive-faced gentleman with a bowie knife in his lelt ? Or our "hearts of oak" being importedfrom Malay ? Or'"Tom Bowling '— that glorious portraitof Dibden's—mumbling away in some outlandish gibberish to which philology hesitates to give the name of language ? Is Jack to starve at home because his beef-yearning soul will not be content with biscuits and boiled cab- age and a single shrt '? The very thought brings upon us the mournful spectres of Rod- ney, Nelson, and the whole army of heroes. We do not ask economics to decide these questions for us. It is enough to reply tri- umphantly that— In spite of all temptations T,) belong to other nations, the Br tish tar is not a Malay and will never consent to j'ield place to him. 7h It The Glamorganshire County is, I see, condemned by one of its cdtics for its bad fielding; and the sapient commentator tells the world in a burst of confidence that Willie Yorath was the only man who ran well after the bali. This is indeed hard for "Willie Yorath was not 111 the team, and did not play # There is no development in the great labour crisis. Everyone is asking, What will Hr William do ? He li;is not locked out the men. lie has not given them notice. Ho has not attempted to come to terms with them. His inactivity is masterly for it leaves the dockers in suspense. Is he going to discharge them ? Is he going to mention the matter at pay- time ? is he waiting to develope arrange- ments ? Whatever may be actuating his conduct at the present moment, it at least leaves the men's policy clear. They will work on valiantly until five o'clock on Saturday and will then retire cnce more. The railway men have given way on one important point-thilt of making each day stand by itself. They refuse, however, to yield on the question of guarantee of a week's work. And so far there is no sign of a drift in the clouds. Even Mayors may fall iiato ilioz; treacher- ous traps known as "Irish Bulls." At the joint Education Conference yesterday Aid. Sanders complained that in Cardiff "they were as paupers so far as charities were con- cerned i" This is the first case I have known of anyone being a pauper because lie was not in receipt of charity » T have every sympathy, I trust, for the musical efforts of local taient but I can- not refrain from asking what is the artistic virtue of "twenty ladies" playing on ten pianofortes," which is one of the features of a forthcoming concert, as adver- tised on the walls. At the most it only suggests that it is not equal to a hundred ladies playing on liity pianos, and falls far short of a thousand upon 50) pianos. Is music after all to become a noisy, blatant virago, frightening us out of our wits by the loud- ness of her voice 1 And what possible cliai-m can there be in a performance upon ten pianos, whose volume will simply smother expression and delicate execution, as compared with the artistic playing of one lady on one pianoforte ? Surely, this is not what pleases Cardiff audiences; it is cer- tainly below what the talented teacher who announces the concert can give us.

ADVENTURES I OF EBENEZER 1.0 8 B. My Portrait, I ;;gi'eo wit i S-ilonaon that tho artist is bo-n. not made. j I shall, perhaps, not be bp-Jieved by those who v.; z i at the work given below, when I declare that I have never had a drawing lesson in nit life. Soma people may suspect that I have had secret assistance. On the contrary, Mr Parker Hearty of thi t'wn has implored me to piaco on -ecyrd the fact 1b it he is an utter stranger to me. No, my style 111 peculiar to myself, and will die with me. It will be ob-erveil that I am a pre- Riphaeli'.e. I have a bold, free touch, md a clear outline. There is i.othing laboured ibout my work. I did not have to make pre- liminary studiei, I l'impJy sat otJWljwit!J the piece of paper before me, dashui off a few rapid stakes, and tho picture yvas complete in all its beauty. I ha v f a vnidoù the chiaro oscuro of 80 ni.ny ot my modern contemporaries. I consider such things as mere artifices to conceal bad drawing. Now 111m, jf pos- sible, better as a draughtsman than as a colourist. Even Sir Frederick Leightou admitted this when I asked his opinion. He says in his letter,— "Your colouring is rather worse than your drawing, if that be possible." The finest touch in tins portrait is, I think, tho necktie. Tiiere is a vraisemVance about it, and a je ne sais quoi-ness, in whicti even the buttons (Jo not quite come up to it, though they run it very close. (There are really H Vd buttons on my coat, but I could not get in more thall three in the picture without ciowdiug. This is what ia called sacrificing detail to dramatic effect.) But perhaps the presence of real genius comes out most unmistakably in tlie grouping of tbo arms. When I showed it to Sir John Mdlais, he said, I never saw any arms like those, either in a picture or out of it. 1 have snino reputation, but I dare not have drawn such arms." Some artists would hn Vf1 made one arm the fac- synile of the other. But I have bent them two different ways. It requiries some originality to think of thug"; like that. Hasty critics cavil at tho left hand because it only shows four ling^rf. The gentleman who en- graved tho portrait implored mo to let him alter this. My character is at stae," he said, I cannot, cannot engrave a thing Ilk ) Lliat. Bi merciful J 1 have a wife :o.ud seVtlu¡een young babes at hoiun. How shall I face them after doing sucfi a deed ?" But I was obdurate. The fact is that the thumb is there all the time, only it is concealed by tho fingers. It i.s curled round behind them. But mere mechanical attainments cannot rise to tho concep tions of genius. It, requires (lUe supreme artist to appreciate another. Mr Buruf; Jones entered luto the merits of this ingenious device. Tiieso were his word", when I explained it t 111111,- "I prefer not being able to) see the thumb, I should like it still better if the principle could be extended to other portions of the picturc-o all of it, iu filct." Observe the complete contraat in tho legs. The arms are ail tire and movement', the legs all dig- nity and repose. Nothing is so beautiful as con- trast. I aimed at keeping too much life our of the legs. Let these remark s of Alma Tadema s how whether I have succeeded Tha legs have no life in them. No one would dream that, I hey were human legs. They I(Jf;k IrHre like spellik. ns—badly carved spellikone." The only defect, if it ce one, is that the portrait is not quite so like me as it might be. I may have sought beauty at the exper.se of faithfulness. My friend, G. F. Watts, It A., noticed this. Your worst enemy could not say it was like you," he said. "Thank G id. there is no human being like this pori.rait." But I must not say any more, lest I should sem to be praising my own work. Below is a biographical sketch. I would not write it myself, for fear I might not do myself justice. It is by my friend Robert Johnson. I not to fl itiur me. He said he would '"take joliy good care" to avoid flUteiy. But for some reason or other he has refused to let me see the MS. lie insisted on its appearing in the I aper without my even looking at a proof, and therefore, I do not know whether he has kept his promise about the fl it,teiy. The reader ri-,u-t take the account with a g-rain of Bait. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. LBKNWSKK LOBB, the nl j at ot tins memoir, was born at Cainborweil, L-union, the 1st April. 1849, of respectable parents, who, su lar as can be cfotle not i lill, learned, had done nothing to deserve the wratli of Providence. His father was a successful schoolmaster, but after a fow years of his tolk he broke down aud sank into an early grave. His mother and sister have always been sensible and well-conducted females. In ne respect does EBKNKZIJK resem ble them. ills characteristic tendencies displayed them- seives at an early age. At one school he provoked all usher to use scriptural lunguago towards him, and then reported tho ulJforLunato mail to the principal. From another school he was expelled for persistent insubordination. Having been left a fortune by au uncle, bo squandered a large part of it iu an idiotic attempt t.u run a religious paper entirely written by him- self. After the failure of this enterprise he lias lived in idlenoss, though ho still flutters llko II moth rouud tlie fl tme of litorature. About th" tillle of the Russo-Tuikisli war ha mde ;111 df trt to ,tg Liceriii fcr C unbar- well Vestry. Attributing his laiiure to Mr Glad- stone's neglecting to support his candidature, ho waited on the late Earl of Boaconsfield, and offered his services to the Government1. That astute statesman contrived to elude the proposal without offending MR LOBB'S morbid vanity, but the result was that ho gradually returned to the Liberal ranks. A year or two ago he went to Iroiand as a dele- gate from the Tooley-streot branch of the Home Rule Federation. His mission is described in six ietters which appeared at the time in the Fall Mall Gazette (so he says). Among fie maniacal delusions under which he labours, one is that the Church of liome is anxious to bring about his conversion. He is believed to be at work on ft controversial volume relating to the Council of Trent. From a boy he lias been cursed with a facility in producing doggrel. Tlie following production is a fair satnrey of his style. SENTIMENT. I A RON-TIO MISSION. I Let the world submit to labour, Peaceful Pleasure's silent reign, Hope shali yet unfurl her beacon O'er the heart's enamelled plain, ,.LNli(i tho mtzes of the desert No vindictive tumuits tread; All ia lost in contemplation, And the cycles of the dead. What though Commerce bore her tyrants With the ancient days of youth ? Never shall tho fading laurel Decorate the serpent's tooth Then let all that interfereth Melt into the mighty vast, While th»i'' 'lew-born eagie pinions Fiijig veil around the Past, > So shall Beauty reach her efforts, And the time uo more shall soem, Till the madness of endeavour Disappears within a dream. It is impossible to do mere than glanco at the various parts which MR LOBE has played in his time. A vegetarian, an IWHee pathis!, an anti-viviaector, an anti-vaccinatioiust, aa anti-tctmcconist, a Theosophist, a Christian Socialist, a creiiiationist, a geologist., 1111(1 a Worker in connection with Mr Stead's Review of B(V iews But there is no real evil in his nature. He does harm from«waut of thought, not tho other thing. Credulous and vain he may bo, but ho cannot bo pronounced deliberately wicked. Tlie wise pity him and pass by only the small-minded can really resent his childish impertinences, his trans- parent frauds. His worst enemies cannot fiu-j it in their hearts tc hate him. The mysterious foe to wbom he sometimes refers, and with whom he believes himself tc be waging implacable warfare, is really a humourist who teases him for fun. Of course Mil. JGEB does not know this. Ho would be Angrier tliaik ever if lie dio. Poor feil«w, he is thehe of his owu imagina- tio!). His exsitable nature carries him away. He has no senss of the ridiculous. Ha is utterly ignorant of human nature, and of everything else. No matter.

Yours, &'j., THi SINCERKST FLATTERY. Was it a coincidence ? I did not see the P"P,1" in q lestion, and therefore suspend my judgment till 1 have heard fro>« its editor.

Iu it we are introduced to real Irish life, with all its attendant episodes and though some of the scenes are almost pain- fully thrilling, it must be admitted that tliey are true to life. The home of the O'MI!e:r8 is an ideal Irish residence, whilst the 8h"beetl! and tlie proceedings con- nected with them, cannot fail to secure the atten- tion, if not the appreciation, of the audience.
