IThe Man About Town.
I The Man About Town. Cardiff commences to-day a busy week of festivity, if, indeed, it did not begin yester- day with the jubilation of our Church friends over the foundation of a now ecclesiastical district in Temperance-town. This after- noon public attention is divided over a double function, the opening of an Industrial Exhibition and the Regatta Sports. There are sa iling matches to-morrow. Friday brings with it a burden, perhaps not unmingled with a little pleasure, to a number of mem- bers of the Town Council. Saturday will witness the formal opening of the exhibition of the South Wales Art and Sketching Club, which bids fair to exceed in its varied attractions the most sanguine anticipations of its promoters. The proceedings of to-day are favoured by splendid weather for the aquatio competitions in the Roath Dock, and in the bright sunshine this morning the flying pennons on the Dock Flag-staff, and the prettily- trimmed yards of the craft which are to sail to-morrow, gave the Pier-head an un- usually gay and festive appearance. As to the Exhibition, so far as the day is con- cerned, the procession and the ceremonial in the decorated building are likely to be the chief features. As is always the case with exhibitions, the interior arrangements are not yet completed, and the recent condition of the weather is cer- tainly a good excuse for the exhibitors who have not come up to time." ♦ Only on one point do I propose to refer to the Philharmonic Music Hall case because I do not like the subject, and imagine that those who share my views know very well what music- halls are and how to avoid them. But there was evidence of songs and gestures which it is no exaggeration to describe as indecent, and which brought down upon the proprietors and management a severe censure and warning from the bench. The Mayor, speaking for the magis- trates, said that they "are fully satis- fied in their own minds that the songs which have been sung from time to time in this place of amusement are not such as to be very elevating to the morals of the youth of this towni-" The Mayor further stated that "in the event of any repetition of this conduct" they will have to consider whether they will grant a renewal of the license. Now, an exhibition which is not such as to be very elevating" must mean that it is the reverse of elevating, or in plain English demoralising. But then we have the evidence of the police, the only witnesses called for the defence. The Chief Constable has never heard a complaint of the manner in which the place was carried on." Mr Superintendent Price says he often visits the place. He, too, has never heard any complaint, and it is to be supposed that he heard nothing else to justify the strictures of the Bench. Are the magistrates right and the police wrong ? Are the police doing their duty in their visits to this place as the guardians of the morals of the town ? There is a contradiction between the two deliverances which it requires a very ingenious mind to explain. The state of affairs in regard to the Merthyr election is very little changed by the meeting of workmen at Abernant last night, The resolution to nominate a labour candidate was not carried unanimously the names of five miners were mentioned one declined; two were objected to on the ground that they were not literally work- men and finally Mr David Morgan, miners' agent, and Mr Henry Davies, of Aberaman, were left on the list to be submitted to another meeting to be held at Merthyr on Saturday. This is movement but it is not progress. A good deal was expected of the meeting at Penydarren Park on Monday but it did not carry matters much further than the Aber- dare meeting the week before. I was told that it would prove a great demonstration in favour of running a labour candidate at the present juncture. Demonstration in the general acceptance of the word it certainly did not amount to. It was lovely weather for an open-air assemblage, and the day one when the miners have least difficulty in gathering in large numbers. It was a long time, however, before they formed anything like a crowd, and when the question of labour representation was raised, no more than two thousand were present. At this very meeting Mr Davict Morgan mentioned that the members of the Merthyr and Aberdare Miners' Union numbered between five and six thousand, and might be increased to eight or nine thousand. Too hasty a deduction must not be drawn from these figures, for many of the colliers were delegates for absent comrades. But when allowance is made for that cir- cumstance two thousand is a small propor- tion of a possible eight or nine thousand and then it must be remembered that a large body of other workmen are left out of account. There seemed to be no surprise among the promoters at the comparative scantiness of the attendance. At all events, so far as I could gather, none was expressed. But the fact seemed to have its influence upon the speakers and the audience. It has been my privilege to attend many mass meetings of Welsh colliers, many of greater dimensions, and I am bound to say that I have rarely been present at one where there was so little fervour. It is difficult, no doubt, to infuse much animation into the discussion of an abstract resolution. It would have been different, I believe, if the leaders of the men had come forward with a definite and prac- tical plan. That was precisely the difficulty on both sides. Everyone present, myself included, would have held up both hands for a larger representation of labour in the House of Commons. Even those who voted for the amendment setting forth the views of the Dowlais men want a labour candidate. The question is not only as to the man, but as to the ways and means. And the per- plexities arising thereupon sufficiently explain the want of enthusiasm which I could not fail to notice nay, more, for the large body of feeling I found to exist among the workmen that this was not the best or a convenient time to put a labour Candidate in nomination and there was a moro pre- valent opinion to that effect in the meeting itself than appeared in the vote at the end. The position of the colliers in Mountain Ash and Dowlais, and many of the iron- workers in the Merthyr Valley, is perfectly consistent and entirely intelligible. They are anxious to be represented by a man of their own class. They are willing to put their hands in their pockets to send him to Parliament when a fund has been matured and agreed to by the various districts. If they cannot now put their fingers upon a man so conspicuously entitled to the honour as -I Mabon was in the Rhondda Valley, it does not imply that such a person is not to be found; but what, they ask, is the use of looking for him before the first attempt has been made to create a Parliamentary fund on a thoroughly popular and proportionate basis ? There is a good deal of meaning attached to proportionate character of the levy. The districts are divided by differences of prosperity as well as of geographical position. Other forms of labour should contribute their fair share to a workman who is to represent all. While some of them see the danger of nominating a man only to leave him in the lurch, others recognise that, if a fair gnd evsn the chances are that the whole cost will in the end fall upon the willing horse who may be sometimes no better able to bear it than his non-paying neighbour. In brief, the views of those I am now describing take this matter-of-fact form-Get the money first, and then find the man. One circumstance struck me very much in talking matters over with the men in the two valleys, who are as hard-headed and sagacious as any .similar number of electors elsewhere. They do not intend to elect as a labour candidate any individual who chooses to assume the title. They will take no one on his own recom- mendation. There must be better credentials than mere platform promises behind the can- didate who is to receive their confidence. The Merthyr and Aberdare colliers are as shrewd politicians as the Political Committee of the Reform Club, and it will not be to their discredit if I say that they are a little more difficult to please. In addition to his qualifications as a labour represen- tative, which lS the first considera- tion, the candicate must be a Radical above suspicion, and of proved faith; not one who will vott right on labour questions, and turn into the Wrong lobby when he thinks he is "o:ffduty. ,j On this point, and in any case, the warning is No trimmers need apply." Marthyr has fortunately had no experience oi this species of politician but it has seen ,he evil he has worked in other places, andhas a wholesome horror of the tribe. Ii i t-j i When I wrote on this subject laat, and ater the meeting at Aberdare, I gathered that Mr Pritchard Morgan was rtgarded in the main as an interesting curiolity. My further acquaint- ance with the opinion of the borough does not encourage the belief that he is any the more favourably regarded ad a serious candidate He has made a muddle of his explanationswith regard to his attitude towards the Literal Association, and leaves it still doubtfat whether he proposes to submit his nartfe to that body, or fight for his own hand whatever the organisation may say or do. The leading Liberals of all classes in the borough have kept aloof from his meetings. Nothing more iff known of his political cred than that he now comes out with a diffrent profession of faith to that he pfofesfed less than a year ago. I would soon* believe him misguided in the coirse he is pursuing that that le is bent upon a filibustering exjeditiori into Merthyr, even at the risk of sjitting the party, and endan- gering the sea;. By his works we shall know him, andintil the joint Associations have met it wil be better to postpone judg- ment. But ore fact may be stated for the information of J1 whom it concerns. The changes whicl have been made in the Liberal organibtion since the last election its enlargemen in numbers as well as in progtamme-h.ve made it thoroughly representativo)f the party as a whole. The new executive v ill command the confidence of the electors, and the voters would be the first to resent he action of a man who tried to force bimhlf upon the Associations, or thrust himselfupon the borough regardless of the duly-ecistituted Liberal organisation. i f'

What the "World" Says.i
What the "World" Says. The marriages and rumours of marriages among various Royal personages abroad, which we bear daily, suggest one or two curious points regarding the position of the younger and marriageable members of our own Royal Family. No more foolish or Shortsighted advice was ever given to the Prince of Wales than that which persuaded him not to ask for an allowance tor Prince Albert Victer When he came of are. By not doing so he created a precedent which his financial position did not justify. The Prince of Wales has ebosen to be independent of the country and provide for his son at present but he cannot continue to do so, and he must, sooner or later, choose to apply to the House of Commons for an income, which no doubt, in the case of his eldest son, will be grudgingly gived; but in what spirit they would entertain any proposal to make provision for Prince George and his sisters is doubtful. The Prince of Wales is in debt-not to any large extent, but probably be owes about Z100,000, so that he cannot have made any provision for his daughters, who have no fortunes when they marry, nor any Settlement in the event of the Prince of Wales dying befcre the Queen. The Princess of Wales has a small provision of about LIO,000 a year as his widow, but unless Parlia- ment chooses to grant annuities to his children they would be penniless. Their position, in fact, would be precisely that of the two children bf the Duke of Albany, who have no fortunes but what their father was able to save, and what settlement the Queen may since have made. At the time of the Duke of Albany's death an ateetapt was made to persuade the Groverntnent to propose a vote for his children in the House of Commons, and a good many pourparlers on the subject took place. The Government, however, did not think the moment opportune, as they considered the Duchess's jointure of £ 6,000 a year was sufficient to main- tain her and her children during their infancy, and so the matter dropped, with a vague kind of promise that when the infant Duke's education began something might possibly be done for him. The generally accepted explanation of Dr Stubbs's translation from the diooese of Chester to that of Oxford has not proved to be correct. It was perfectly well known that Dr Alfred Barry, Bishop of Sydney, had the alternative before him either of resigning his see or of rethrniiig to it without his wife, whose physicians forbade her to accompany him. The resignation of DrMackarness synchronised with this state of things, and would have provided Dr Barry with a suitable ¡ "sphere" at home, but for the unwritten law which enacts that the sees of Oxford and Ely must be filled by members of the Universities within their own borders. So obviously had the hour for Dr Barry's promotion arrived that the main gossip of the time turned upon the most suitable prelate to be removed to Oxford to make way for him. When it was announced that Bishop Stubbs Was to go to Oxford, Dr Barry's appointment to Chester Was thought to be as good as made. Now, however, the tables have been turned we bear no more of Dr Barry, and Mr Jayne, of Leeds, is nominated to the see of Chester. Why, then, was Dr Stubbs translated ? Mr Jayne would have been fitted with Oxford. In Some respects he would have pleased the diocese even bettor, for he is more distinctly of the school of Wilberforce, Mackarness, Pusey, Liddon, and King. Dr Stubbs's translation is almost the first of the kind within what is called "living memory," except- ing to an archbishopric, or to London, Wincheateri and Durham, It was perfectly in order, but it required a strong motive, such as a provision for Dr Barry, whose position and services, most people thought, demanded special treatment. The most obvious, though not neces- sarily the true explanation of a very singular transaction, is a change of View on the part of the Prime Minister. It is an open secret that the Bishop of Sydney went to considerable lengths during the recent Lambeth Conference in a liberalising direction. If this has loet him his English prefermeat he will have the applause, at all events, of all independent and wide-minded people. < < Although Mr Jayne has been more or less known for some years in clerioal and semi-clerical circles, he is to the general public "a dark horse." His appointment to the great vicarage of Leeds, some tWo years ago, was somewhat of an experi- ment. aud he cannot be said to have made any at Lampeter, as principal, and in the course of these he aspired (by what proves to be a coinci- dence) to succeed Dr Barry at King's College, and ran second for the appointment. In person he hardly realises one's idea of abishop; beenjoysalair, fresh ingenuous, boylike aspect, and owns an engaging, frank demeanour, which assure him of a personal success in any capacity. His name, his fellowship at Jesus College, Oxford, and his Lampeter experience bespeak his connection with gallant little Wales," which may not be valueless at Chester, whose Welshiness" is almost as well defined as is Hawarden's, according toa competent authority. Whatever else be may be, Mr Jayne is a thoroughgoing High Churchman; he is in some sort the essence of Keble College; he has great powers of work and organisation, and he will be far the youngest bishop on the bench. His successor at Leeds will be the sixth vicar in thirty years all of them have received high promotion. The Archbishop of Catlteifbury and his intimate friend, the Bishop of Durham* Are staying aft Braemar for a month. 0 6 A large pkrty of distinguished engineers spent Saturday in inspecting the new Barry Dock in South Wales, where they were sumptuously entertained by the directors; and the works were explained by Mr Wolfe-Barry, the acting engineer. The Barry Dook, it would seem, are not viewed with a favourable eye by Cardiff magnates, as they will, when finished in about six months' time, take most of the South Wales coal trade away from their neighbour on the Bristol Channel. Several very neat speeches were made after luncih Sir James Douglas (of lighthouse fame), Mr W. H. Preece (of the post and telegraphs), Mr Wolfe-Barry, and last, but not least, his brother, the Bishop of Sydney, all having something to say on the subject of the hew docks and the visit of the British Association, A special train was put at the disposal of the visitors to complete the tour of the docks, though many preferred to descend into the dry basin and inspect the works from below. Returning to St. Pagan's on the engine of the special gave one ample opportunity of observing the difficulties which had been overcome in making the new lino, part of which is a tunnel one mile ih length. Among the party were Lady Douglas, Mr Glaisher, Mr Benjamin Baker (engineer of the Forth Bridge), and various other well-known folks. There is no doubt that a tide is beginning to flow again in Scotland in the Gladstonian direc- tion. There are not many public indications of it yet, but those who know the people well express a strong conviction that all the Unionist seats will go at the next election. The country at heart has never really deserted Mr Gladstone, in whose honesty and ability they have the most profound belief. In the Inverness Burghs Mr Finlay is sure to be beaten by a Gladstonian, and in the country the only danger the Gladstonians run is of having a plethora of candidates who will go to the poll, in whioh case a Conservative might get in. Where there are crofter members no one will dream of fighting the seat. Mr Aird, the member for North Paddington, is proving himself an apt pupil in the school of Tory Democracy inaugurated by his colleague, Lord Randolph Churchill. He has been on a visit to the west coast, endeavouring to find some remedy ot the distress now existing there, and the results of his observations have been sum- marised in a letter to the limes about ten days ago, which has brought down on bis head all the blessings and laudations of the Scottish Highlander, the crofter newspaper. On some points he is anta- gonistic to the Crofters, but on one, and the most important, he is absolutely in agreement ivith them. The want of population is, in his opinion, the cause of the present difficulty, and he proposes many schemes by Which the deficiency can be made good. To a Celtic population the Malthusian doctrine would not be a palatable one, and so Mr Aird wisely annihilates such a suggestion at once, and points out the advantages of creating villages, Where the crofters could erect shops to buy and sell the commodities this new system of industry would create. Ite, however, achieves his greatest popularity in expressing his conviction after careful inquiry that, whatever else may be a remedy, emigration is quite useless and unwise,

CUT TO PIECES ON THE RAI LWAY. Yesterday morning, about ten minutes to twelve, a platelayer in the service of the South Eastern Railway, named Henry Tremore, was at work on the line between New Cross and St. John's stations, with a number of other men, when an express train from Hastings came along on the main line. A fellow-workman named David Fobb shouted to Tremore, who, becoming apparently confused, ran in the direction in which the train was coining. He was knocked down by the train and dragged for ahout fifty yards. The body wag frightfully mutilated-in fact, cut almost to pieces.

I THREATENED FAMINE IN EGYPT
THREATENED FAMINE IN EGYPT A telegram from Cairo, dated Tuesday night, saýs Even the most sanguine are now abandon- ing all hope of a further rise of the Nile this year. The principal loss will fall on Upper Egypt, where at least a hundred and fifty thousand acres will have to be exempted from the payment of the Land Tax, entailing at once an enormous loss to the Treasury, and a scarcity of food, which must inevitably lead to famine in the winter. In Lower Egypt the scarcity will be less felt; and, in spite of the presence of the worm in a few districts, the general cotton crop promises to be rather above the average. The Zeila Tribute falls I due to-morrow, and this time it will be paid without protest, especially as it only amounts in all to about L6,000, of which the Porte already I

I A PARISIAN SWINDLER. Another skilful and audacious swindler, who has been closely following in the footsteps of Altmayer—arrested at Havre, the other day, just as he was out driving with an amie-is now wanted by the Paris police. The fellow stayed for a while at the Hotel Windsor gave his name as Adler; and is described as having all those aristocratic airs and almighty manners which, in the mind of the average Gaul, are invariably associated with the Milord Anglais. Adler, dressed to perfection, and wearing super- varnished boots, left his hotel every morning in a superb victoria," which he bad hired, and was driven about by a smart coacbmau to various tradesmen, from whom he obtained valuable goods on account. His latest victim was a fashionable outfitter in the Rue de la Paix, at Whose establishment he selected a case' of travelling necessaries, worth £360. He first pretended to be about to pay the outfitter, but offered him instead a choice Havannab, and finally dazzled him so much that the tradesman allowed the lordlike customer to walk out of the shop without paying for the travelling-case, which was put into the "victoria." That after- noon the victimised tradesman, feeling ah un- comfortable suspicion creep over him, sent the bill up to the Windsor, with instructions to the messenger to wait for the money, but the aristo- cratic Adler bad gone away, like Alfred Jingle, having been expelled from the hotel as a gou- less vagabond.
DISSATISFACTION AMONG I LIVERPOOL…
DISSATISFACTION AMONG LIVERPOOL SAILORS. LIVERPOOL SAILORS. For the past few days disaffection, of a some. what serious nature, has existed amongst the seamen offering themselves for employment at the Liverpool Sailors' Home. This has led, in one or two instances, to a strike of the men for an advance in their rate of pay. One steamer, which was down to sign on Mon- day, did not do so. on account of the men holding out for more wages than the owners offered to pay. This was for a Western Ocean voyage, and the vessel had to put off the signing until yester- day. On Saturday placards were posted, calling the sailors to a meeting to consider what action should be taken. All the vessels, however, which Were down to snip their crews on Monday, did so with the one exception named, and yesterday there was practically no refusal to accept the wages current, though in one instance of a sailing ship going a long voyage 5" per month over the late rates was given. The men knowing there has been an increase in the freight naturally want to participate in the rise. A great many vessels have left Liverpool within the last month, and there has consequently been a good demand for seamen, but on no occasion has there been a case where seamen could not be obtained. As in former instances, when the Liverpool sailors have s ruck for higher wages, there is no proper organisation amongst the men, though in the present case no actual disturbances have occurred.
-A CARDIFF CHAPEL BROKEN INTO.I
A CARDIFF CHAPEL BROKEN INTO. I Juvenile Marauders. I At the Cardiff police-court, to-day—before Mr Goodwich (deputy-stipendary) and Mr Richard Cory-Robert Taylor (15), William Henry Harding (14), and Frederick E. J. Morgan (12) were charged with breaking into the Wesleyan chapel at Conway-road, forcing open a desk, and stealing a missionary box containing 18 nd, and a scarf, on the 1st inst. Mr George Merrils Sanders, son of Mr Councillor Sanders, and secretary of the Sunday School at Conway-road, stated that on Sunday week be placed the missionary box in the desk, and on the 6th inst. be tfound that it had been broken into and the money stolen. From the evidence of a little boy, who had himself taken part in the affair, it appeared that there were five boys in all, and that they got in at one of the windows in search of what they could find. Having ransacked the missionary box, and finding nothing else of any value to them, they resolved to spend the night there. They got out early next morning, but not unperceived. When the theft was discovered, suspicion tell on the three prisoners, who were arrested. Taylor was a boy with a very bad character. He had been in the habit of stealing money for some time, and of spending it in Cardiff, Newport, and elsewhere. When arrested he had more than 8s in his possession.—Morgan was discharged, Taylor was sentenced to three weeks' imprisonment, and Harding to 14 days' imprisonment.
THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A…
THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A PENARTH TOURIST. Indifference of the French Police. Commenting on the melancholy death of Me Clarkson, of Penarth, the Evening Standard says The murder of Mr M'Neill at Boulogne is fresh in all minds, and a very similar case occurred a short time since at Calais. To-day we publish an account of the murder of an English gentleman at St Malo, under circumstances almost identical with those of Mr M'Neill. Mr Clarkson was with his father at a café, and went out to buy some tobacco. He did not return, His body was found next morning on the beach, bearing marks of violence and his watch and money had been taken. The French police saw no reason for making any special investigation into the matter, and, it may be remembered, the police were equally apathetic as to the murder at Boulogne. English tourists should always bear in mind that in French ports, as in many English ports, there are slums where it is dangerous in the extreme for a stranger to allow himself to be inveigled into entering a house. In England a visitor would not be likely to be persuaded to do so, for the appearance of the streets would in itself be sufficient to warn any one, unlesc in a state of intoxication, of the rough character of the inhabitants; but for a stranger in a foreign land the indications are less marked, and he is therefore far more likely to follow a conductor into a house without thought of danger. The three murders that have occurred within a comparatively short time should serve as a warning. Tourists should bear in mind that in a foreign town they cannot be too careful as to the places they vist, that they should never allow themselves to be tempted out of the principal streets, and that, above all, they should never enter those dens where, even in the largest and best managed cities, danger may always be encountered by the unwary and especially by the foreigner. The Birmingham Post says:—It will scarcely be credited-but it is so stated-that the authori- ties have decided that there are no circumstances in the case which call for investigation. It is, perhaps, too early to speak positively as to the excuse for this inaction. The full facts of the case may not have been set forth in the brief telegram which narrates the tale, and no complaint has yet been made by the relatives of the dead man. If, however, the facts are as stated, and the French police have declined to institute a most rigorous and searching investiga- I tion, it is high time that this callous indifference recived a rough rebuke.
A CARDIFF TERROR AT INEWPORT.
A CARDIFF TERROR AT I NEWPORT. I Scientific Blows in the Mouth. John Sullivan, lately of Cardiff, w, charged at Newport borough police-court with assaulting Edward Atkinson, boarding-house keeper, Pill- gWenlly. On Monday afternoon, complainant was talking to William Miles, on the edge of the pavement, when the prisoner accosted him, asked him about not giving bim supper at his house as well him about not giving him supper at his house as well as a wash, and gruumbled about a 12s commission he got from an outfitter over a deal with a mate. Then he dealt him what lVDes called two scientific blows in the mouth, which deluged his face with blood.-Prisonet said he merely pushed com- pfainant with his open baud, and wai sorry for it.—Mr Cullum reminded prisonei that he had been five times in trouble at Cardiff and once at Newport. He had bad eight months for highway robbery with violence at Czird iff. -Prisoner: I'm only just come home from sea. You'll never catch 11113 here again if you look over it.—Mr Cullum: We cahnotlook over it, but you will be fined only 20s, or 14 days' imprisonment.
I I A TWO MILES DROP FROM…
I A TWO MILES DROP FROM A BALLOON. At the Alexandra Palace to-morrow Professor Baldwin purposes to outstrip all his previous performances on the occasion of his first English benefit. Unless the wind is very high, it is Mr Baldwin's intention to go up two miles before leaving his balloon, and he must therefore drop at least an equal distance. Of course, very much will depend on the current and the strength of the wind. Should there be a strong northerly wind it is clear that Baldwin cannot go up so Digh as be otherwise would, as his descent amongst the'myriad of bouses and the traffic of the metropolis might be attended by disaster. Professor Baldwin has built a new balloon which he intends to use on Thursday, and which will be named "The Alexandra." The experience gained by Baldwin enables him to determine that a balloon containing 12,000 feet of gas is of quite sufficient capacity to enable him to rise a couple of miles, and so the Alexandra is made according to these dimensions. He is so pleased with his present parachute that he will at least retain its services till after the great jump of to-morrow.
!EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.
EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE. It is reported that yesterday morning, shortly after four o'clock, the police on duty in the Euston- road, London, were attracted by cries of distress. After searching some time they noticed that the sounds appeared to comefroman upper storey of the Midland Grand Hotel, some 70ft to 80ft above them. The night porter and the fireman of the establishment ascended the lift on to the seventh story, where they found a man bleeding and almost insensible from fright. He told them lId was sleeping in one of the attics and dreamt that he was being pursued' by two men. He supposed he opened the window to get away from them, and slid down the sloping frontage to where he was found. The distance of his fall was iOft; and had it not been for the guttar pipe he must have been dashed to the ground. He had received some severe cuts and bruises and a serious sbock to the system. 1 i.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT BATH. m Three out of the eight sections met this mortfiiig at Bath, to read and discuss papers left over from yesterday. In the mechanical section Col. R. Ha. zard read a paper on underground communication in great cities. A model exhibited showed two up and two down lines for express and slow traffic, and at the sides of the lines galleries between the rails and houses for the housing, inspection, replacement, and repair of all pipes and wires, and for providing proper ventilation. The proposed system had the merit of being a superficial subway rather than an underground route. The transmission of motion and power was discussed by Mr J. W. Pearse, and Mr W.' H. Douglas described the construction of an annual winding clock. In the economic section Mr Edward Chad wick explained his views on certain popula- tion theories.
A CHILD ATTACKED BY A PIG,
A CHILD ATTACKED BY A PIG, About noon yesterday a little girl, aged four years, daughter of Mr Francis Mills, master baker, of Brokenborough, Malmesbury, was playing in the yard of the house, when she was suddenly attacked by a sow in the most ferocious manner. The animal finally seized the child by the thigh and swung her several times with vreat violence against a wall. The child's cries attracted the attention of the neighbours, who, arming themselves with sticks and other weapons, compelled the animal to loosen its hold. It was then found that the child's thigh Was broken, her legs much lacerated, and her body bruised all over.
