Q

, We are tilcascd to no hat this
effort which Is belnp inu to net
Wales recognized on the lloynl Arms
tintl tho Nntlonal Standard Is recelvIiiR
widespread support. Tho Cardiff Coun
cil has distributed a largo number of
circulars to tho local governing bodies
of tho Principality, nnd there nre ninny
Blgns that the request for support will
bo forthcoming. A very successful
meeting on the question was held dur
ing the week at tho South Wales Uni
versity College, when tho Marquis of
Buto was Invited to become President
of the Committee, and It was decided
to secure the aid o every representa
tive body In Wales to petition the
Privy Council In favor of Including
Wales among the emblems and heral
dic signs representing the British na
tion. In the year when so many grac
ious acts are expected to be performed
by the Queen, It mny fall out that
Wales will receive due recognition as
nn Integrnl nnd nn Important portion
of Great Britain. Wales has been ne
glected too long, but that Is as much
the fault of Wales and her representa
tives ns It Is of the national Govern
ment. Why should Wales alone of the
constituent portions of Great Britain
be neglected? England, Scotland and
Ireland aro duly and fully represented.
Not, surely, because Wales has no na
tional emblems? There is the red
dragon and leek, and there are druldl
cal sign which might be drawn
upon In lieu of anything better. Hut
the neglect Is not duo to any luck of
emblems or of national signs; It Is
rather the consequence of misunder
standing and ignorance of the country
nnd tho people. We need not remind
our readers how AVnles was neglected
by Royalty, how Wales was left with
out any adequate system of education.
These things, happily, belong to. the
past, nnd Wales can afford to let the
past bury Us dead. We live In tho
present and for the future, and we see
how great a change has come over the
spirit of the scene during tho last two
decades. Wales today is not the ne
glected and unknown nation she was
then. She has a fine educational sys
tem, threo University Colleges, and a
a national University to crown the ed
ucational monument. And lower down
than these, but equally Impoitant, Is
the system of Intermediate or Secon
dary education, with a fine network
of schools that are being erected over
the country. The old spirit of exclu
slveness, fostered by the neglect of the
rulers of the country, Is fast disap
pearing, is already dead indeed, nnd
we have the better spirit, the right nt
tltudo for advancement displayed today
in the demand for recognition of Wales
on the Royal Arms and the National
Standard. We are constantly declaring
that Wales Is not understood, and we
have another proof of the fact In a
work from the pen of Sir Walter
Besant on "The Rise of the Empire."
The view which ho holds of Wales,
If at all general, may well account for
the neglect of the country and the-misunderstanding
which exists. For the
benefit of our readers we will produce
the whole paragraph in which he states
his opinion of Wales". The novelist
is writing "history" and not fiction.
nnd this Is what he says after summar
ising the storv of the conquest of
Wales: "Now, what have we done
with AVnles? Althouch we have Im
posed our laws upon the country the
people remain still in their mountains
as they always have done; they main
tain their own language, their customs,
superstitlons.llterature, traditions; they
do not court the friendship of the
Saxon; they do all they can to keep
apart. In other words, extension (of
empire) in the direction of Wales is as
Illusory as In the direction of France."
Such a statement as this is manifestly
absurd on the face of it. A century ago
It would have had some semblance of
truth, but today there Is nothing in it
but fiction. AVnles loves Its traditions,
Its language, and literature still, but
not In the sense In which Sir Walter
Besant Implies. If any nnswer were
needed to this farrago of misrepresen
tation, It is provided in tho unanimous
demand of AVales forrecognltion of the
Principality on the Royal Arms and
the National Standard. This does not
Indicate excluslveness and hatred of
the Saxon, but a desire to be account
Id as a living and loyal part of tho
British nation.
THE GODODIN.
The Gododln is a poem tho subject of
which Is the disastrous Battle of Cat
traeth. It Is the oldest AVelsh poem
In existence. It was written by Aneurin,
who lived in the eurly part of the sixth
century. It contains upwards of 000
lnes. Several translations of this
heroic poem have been printed In
English. The title of the poem is from
the "Ostadlnl," which was tho name of
that tribe of Britons to which Aneurin
belonged. The original version Is print
ed in the first volume of the "Myfyrlan
Archoeology."
A PLEDGE,
loan Mynyw wrote the following
pledge In Imitation of an englyn. A'o
are Informed ulso by himself that he
was induced to become a total abstain
er by the untimely death of a neighbor
under the effects of intoxicating drink
(1843):
I will drink not of nle a drop no moro
By no means In beer-shop;
And shall lllnch from a gin Bhop,
And go to Nature's sure shop.
THE ELECTION SQUIBS OP 1837.
A query appeared In "Welsh Gossip"
tho Cardiff nnd Merthyr Chronicle,
which to some extent Is answered In
this weeks column of "AVelsh Tit Bits."
The first number of the Chronicle ap
peared July ICth, 1S37. It was started

for electioneering purposes by Mr. J. J.
Guest, of Merthyr, to support him In
tho double candidature of the borough
of Merthyr, against Mr. Bruce, and
Lord Adaro for the county. Tho paper
ceased to be Issued almost ns soon as
the elections were over. Mr. Guest had
by that time received a baronetcy as
the reward of his services to tho party
In power and had captured the borough
of Merthyr by a large majority, Tho
squib from the Chronicle which ap
peared In this column last week, was
answered ns follows In the Cardiff and
Merthyr Guardian, which supported the
Tories:
TO THE HESCURt HO!
Electors of Brltntnl to you now appeal
A throne and a faction n woe and a weal!
A Queen In the trammels of Jncoblne
knuves,
And 1'aplst-i Id Ministry robbers and
slaves.
Oh! hnste to tho rescue! her rescue for
whom
Tho tolli aro nil spread, and prepared ic
the doom;
Yes, Papist and Infidels rebels are seen
Binding up tho young hands of our i'rot-
cstnut Queen.
Tho Star cf the Morn was no sooner In
sight,
Tho token of peaco and the herald of light,
Than the clouds tho most murky and mist
most fou.
Gathe-ed round tho ban-dogs' Ilercc omin
ous howl.
Awake, manly hearts, and these vapors
disperse.
Preservo our young Queen from the shumo
nnd tho curse
Tho curse of Whig Radical Councils that
blight
All hopo In its birth, and all strength In
Its might.
To men of Glamorgan, to hearts that can
feel,
A Queen and a Country In peril appeal;
Tho Throne and the Altar for succor cry
out,
And the Hearth nnd tho Rooftree both
Join In tho shout.
Yo men of Glamorgan! who once proudly
broke
The chain of oppression tho Pontlr'3
hard yoke,
Shall degenerate AVhlgs and fierce Papists
again
The bondago imposo and re-rlvct tho
chain?
Tho war-cry is raised, to the banner ro-
pilr
That waves In tho hand of tho noble
Adure;
Stilka homo for tho Queen, your Religion
nnd Laws,
Strike home In his name who had hal
lowed the cause.
Gentle hearts of Glamorgan! who feel for
the Throne
And for one whoso pure maidenly fame Is
your own,
Reserve all your smiles and breathe ev
ery prayer
For the cause of the Queen and success to
Adare!
Had the author of the above lived
to see the sixtieth vear of her Ma
jesty's reign, no doubt he would feel
Auilty of having saddled the wroiifc
horse. The Tories and Papists seem to
be on very good terms, while the Radi
cals are by far the best and truest
Protestants.
HOME NEWS.
The Drych, the National organ of the
AA'elsh people In America, and by far
the best AVelsh paper printed In the
language In anv country, commits a
grave mistake by stating that the
AVelsh bard Thomas Jehu, of Provi
dence, received his nom de plume from
a source which would be In direct vio
lation of all Bardic rules. But the In
tention of the "squib" had a double
intention like many of the double D's
worn by persons nowadays. Fortunate
ly, however, the "squib" amounted to
nothing. Neither do tho double D's
simply a gravitation kite. Mr. Jehu re
ceived his nom de plume from Thomas
Cilcenln Evans, B. B. D., of Nantlcoke,
Pa., an authorized representative of
the Gorsedd In America, and was as
sisted In the ceremony by Mr. John D.
R. Richards, (Ehedydd Teilo), of the
firm of Boyle & Mucklow, of this city,
nnd others. Llcw Y. Bryn should make
a public statement. It will be to his In
terest to do so. Gorsedd matters are too
sacred for tomtits to play with.
The August number of "The Ameri
can Kelt" has made Its appearance,
and Is unusually interesting. The fol
lowing Is from the pen of Rhys AVynno:
A BARD OF LLANGOLLEN.
(A translation of "Yn Nyffryn Llan
gollen," In "Songs of Wales," p. 320.)
A bard of Llangollen once thrilled the
sweet A'ale,
As poor as famous, and of him this) talo:
Of water and bread the old bara had no
store.
Of thirst and of hunger ho died at his
door;
But whe'i ho was dead, truo tho shivering
thought,
Abundanco of bread for his burial was
brought.
Nevermore unto men did his harp yield a
strain.
It vanished, but still haunts tho hill anl
the plain;
With bogles and fairies it roams through
the A'ale,
Oe'r boss and o'er brakes this sad, warn
ing wall:
"Immortal tho Muse, but a bard lives by
bread,
A crust for him now's worth a feast when
ho's dead." RhyH Wynne.

The Rev. J. Evans-Owen, Llanberls,
Is again convalescent. Tho promising
young bard minister; tho Rev. Gwylfa
Roberts, Is reported to be compelled by
medical advice to forego for a time his
pulpit engagements.
Every child that nttends tho Board
schools at Llandudno Is "compelled"
to learn the Ton Commnndments. The
"compulsion" takes the form of a pocket-knife,

Board presents tr every child who can
repeat the Decalogue correctly.
A strong effort Is about to be made
to secure a goodly sharo of the art
treasures now at Suth Kensington for
permanent exhibition at Canarvon
Castle. This doubtless Is a part of a
scheme which has for Its aim the es
tablishment of a National Museum In
AVales.
To make good to some extent the loss
occasioned bv the recent fire at the
Holyhead Tree Library the local au
thorities have Just received from Gov

AA'elsh historical works; while the au
thorities of the British Museum have
made a further donation of valuable
works of reference.
The Liberals of Montgomery borough

Dr. Evans, Darby, tho secretary of
tho Pease Society, Is now spending a
holiday at his native place, Sounders
foot. Tho other Sunday he took the an
niversary service at he Congregational
church, of which he was a member In
his youth and gave threo discourses
which greatly delighted many old
ahd now acquaintances.
As illustrating the popularity among
the clergy of the appointment of Dr.
Owen to the bishopric of St. David's,
It Is pointed out that while in 1874 nt
the enthronement of the late bishop
there were only 40 of the clergy of the
diocese present, fully three times that
number assembled to witness the en
thronement of Bishop Owen.
This retort. It appears, has been
called forth by the protest of a Car
narvon naper against the gratuitous
assumption of the vicar that Noncom
formist ministers "must necessarily.
In conection with the Jubilee or any
other religious services, hold a position
of Inferiority of the latest Importation
of beardless curates."
Cardiff street arabs aro not In It with
the children of Machynlleth. It recent
ly transpires at the Police Court that
children urow up beyond school age
without attending school for a day of
their lives! That probably explains
why Machynlleth, at the last moment,
withdrew froni the contest for the loca
tion of tho University Offices.

Tho death on Saturday, as tho result
of an accident, of Mr. Robert Roberts,
of Bethesda, Is the first break In the
solid ranks of the Penrhyn Quarry
Committees. Ho was a member of tho
first deputation which waited upon
Lord Penrhyn during the recent nego

as bad-rock men. He formed one of
the small clicle which may be fitly de
scribed as the Inner cabinet of tho
Penrhyn quarrymen.
Mr. T. R. Price, the chief traffic mn

The Vicar of Cama, tho Rev J. AV.
AVynne Jones, thus turns upon his
critics In the last number of his parish

The AA'elsh AVesleyans are about four
times as strong In North AA'ales as they
are In the South. The figures of the
northern provinces are given to tho
synod last week show 33 circuits, with
20,960 members. South AVnles has 19 cir
cuits, with C,D50 members. The AVesley

reopens the whole question of the right
of AA'elshmen to tender evidence, If
they so desire, In their native tongue,
and much as his lordship's arbitral y
conduct Is now condemned, it will bo
of service If It helps to a settlement of
this thorny question of language. "A
mere Parliamentary protest," declares
the Carnarvon Herald, " is far from
being enough. The time has certainly
arrived when AA'ales should unanimous
ly demand a linguistic BUI of Rights."
Lllanelly liberals were naturally Jubi
lant on Saturday evening when, the
news came of the selection by the Lib
eral Executive of Mr. Gwllym Evans
as the candidate for the boroughs. The
selection, of course, is not final; it Is
subject to tho approval of the Liberal
Associations of the two boroughs, but
It Is regarded as pretty certain that
the recommendation of the Council
will be endorsed and ndopted. The Lib
oral electors of Carmarthen Boroughs
do well to be ready for any emergency
So far their leaders have done admir
able work. AVlth perseverance and firm
ness In discipline they will be able to
more than obliterate tho ugly blot
which now tarnishes tho political es

One would scarcely dare to Impugn a

During Sundny evening the ex-presl-dent
of the AA'esleynn conference, the
Rev. Richard Roberts, of London, while
occupying tho pulpit at Conway-road

iscences of tho Cardiff of fifty years

the ministry at the old chapel In, Church
street, Cardiff, in tho year 1SI2, and at
that time the population of Cardiff was
0,000. The aged preacher, who Is quite
vigorous, and made himself heard over

drew upon a rich store of memories
for his Illustrations, and described his
personal experience In connection with
the wreck of the Royal Charter off the
coast of Anglesea, he happening to be

Conan Doyle lias done nothing bet
ter In fiction than "Uncle Bernao"
(published by the Appletons, New
York.) The present volume represents
a revision and enlargement of the story
that ran as the serial In tho Cosmopoli
tan, it being almost one-third longer,
and this augmentation has very per
ceptibly Improved the symmetry and
fine artistic finish of the work. In "Un
cle Bcrnac" Dr. Doylo continues to
delve In the Napoleonic period, and In
fact makes the little miracle-worker
from Corsica the real center of his
story. As a story the book is not of
great consequence, albeit cleverly
planned and made very Interesting by
the brilliancy of the author's descrip
tive powers, but ns a "living picture" of
Napoleon, in the hey day of his lmper.
lal orbit. It beats all the volumes which
have hitherto been penned on the "mnn
of destiny," and sets his peculiarities
and strange power before us with ns
much distinctness as If we were habi
tues of his court and privileged to see
the conqueror dally. The effectiveness
of the artistic novel as a mode of In
struction has seldom been more vividly
evidenced.

In "Marietta's Marriage" (published

Norrls repeats his familiar formula for
a summer-tlmo novel, which Includes
a tired lord, a selfish and bored wife,
a flirtatious friend, a crime In high
life, a trial, a whole lot of explanations
toward the last chapter, and finally a
balancing of old scores and a new
Etai' iward conjugal happiness. This
particular embodiment of the forego
ing formula Is neither better nor worse
than the average. It will serve pleas

Few recent numbers of the Cosmo

The report of Julian Hawthorne upon
the plague horrors In India begins with
a vividness of pictorial representation
and worded details which casts a large
shadow over the Jubilee festivities at
London. Le Gnllonne's rendering of

these are the ones that stand out.

less for months., I was. at last advised to try
Dr. AVIlllams' Pink Pills, which after many
misgivings I concluded to do, as I had lost faith
in all medicines. The first box helped me
much, and the continued me of tho pills lias
worked and is working wonders. To-day I
have driven twelve miles without fatigue. I
cannot say too much in praise of Dr. AVIl

Pn. So great was his ntlllction by reason of

for Pale People have made him a new man

Mr. Prentice Fry, of Meadvillc, testifies'
as follows:
"My wife nnd daughter have been fallinff
in health for roinn time and the treatments
of physicians in their cafes have been fruit
less. So much 1ms been inid of Dr. AVilliams'l
Pink Pills for Pale People that I resolved to
try them, nnd myself nnd family will ulwnW
be glnd that Providence threw such a medi
cine in our way. The pnlc faces and wasted
cheeks of my wife nnd daughter have disap
peared, nnd the ruddy plow of health has
reappeared. Pen cannot record my feelings
in the matter, nnd nil I can ray Is that I
trust nil who are bowed down by the heavy
hand of physical infirmity will lesrn that
thrro is a remedy that cures nnd places suf
fering humanity where tliey can enjoy this
enrthlv existence. God bless the maker of
Dr. AVIlllsms' Pink Pills for Pale Teople."
