Local Amusements. WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO SEE. Little Christopher Columbus" the Attraction at the Cardiff Theatre Royal. Neither blowing of trumpets nor beating of drums has signalled the appearance of Little Christopher Columbus" at the Theatre Royal this week, and accordingly the large and brilliant audience that attended Mr. Fletcher's house on Monday evening must have been attracted by the general glamour that invariably surrounds a London success. So far as the excellence of the libretto and music is concerned, the success of the piece is easily determined. The whimsical qualities of Mr. G. R. Sims' lyrical talents find a happy vent, and the music is all that one can expect from the celebrated composer of La Cigale." Indeed, many of the numbers and the eccentricities of the score reveal Mr. Caryll at his very best, &nd that is saying a great deal. Mr. William Greet has brought a splendid com- pany of artistes to Cardiff, and, although many of them are strangers, that did not in any way lessen the enthusiasm which greeted their efforts on Monday night. Pretty, buxom, and tuneful. Marie Montrose was an immense success in the title role, her exquisite rendi- tion of The Land of Love and Plantation" n 'I songs being warmly encored. The devising and disguising O'Hooligan was most humorously portrayed by Mr. Henry Wright, who excites as many laughs as he dons disguises, and whose catch-words, They won't know me not. never failed to tickle the risible muscles of the spectators. Mr. E. T. Steyne played "Mrs. Block" as if he had been a woman born. and exhibited all a woman's grace and agility in his dances. Miss Maud Fisher, an exceptionally accomplished dancer, made a dainty "Petita," and Miss Laura Maxwell's tuneful voice found expression in several ditties that were loudly appreciated. A troupe ot clever girls display their terpsichorean abilities several times in the piece, and the new scenery by Mr .Win. Quick is admirable alike in form and colour. In short, "Little Christopher Columbus" as presented at the Theatre Royal is well worthy of a visit. THE GRAND THEATRE, CARDIFF. There was an excellent house at the Grand on Monday evening to witness the production of the Prime Minister," a four-act comedy drama of a very high order. The cast is in the hands of Mr. Lawrence Daly's company. Mr. Fred J. Kirke, as Jack Kumione," plays with much versatility, and the character of Guy Chandlos," the bad man of the piece, a difficult one to perform, is, nevertheless, well sustained by Mr. Wallace Davidson. Mr. Daly, as Jubb," the self-made man, and Mr. G. Howard-Watson, as Joe Ferns," supply many quaint and comic situations, and Miss Edith Clairs, as "Mrs. Jnbb," made a distinct hit. Miss Amy B. Ellis, as Rose Wildbriar," acted charmingly and sang sweetly, whilst Miss Grace Wilson, as "Hetty Ferns," contributed not a little, both with her acting and singing, to the success of the piece. Miss Lucy Wilson (" Con- stance ") also played her pa.rt in remarkably good style. This (Tuesday) evening, Thursday, and SatrrrcLij '1 Cissy wiU be played, and on, the other evenings the Prime Minister." THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. The combination of talent at the Cardiff Empire this week for all-round excellence has rarely, if ever, been surpassed even under Mr. Oswald Stoll's spirited and enterprising management. The comic element is the predominating feature, and the fun on Monday night was so fast and furious that the crowded house was most of the time convulsed with laughter. Newman and Downes, the living lath and his keeper," were simply irresistible the Darnley Brothers, in their original sketches, combined with comicalities a rare knowledge of music; Gaertner and Richards excelled as musical clowns Eugenie Devereux highly pleased with her selections on musical instruments Japa and Japo, a couple of Oriental lads. performed wonderful feats on the single wh e Daisy Wood (who is a Fister of Marie Lloyd) was at once a favourite; Clemart is a prince of ventrilo- quists; Lizzie Valrese was well received, and as a burlesque actress, is destined to fill a still higher position on the variety stage. NEWPORT. The ever-popular Dutch Daly met with an enthusiastic reception at Newport on Monday night. His performance with the concertina is too well known to need description, and after we have said that his" talk" this time is funnier than ever—if that be possible—words are un- necessary to attract crowded houses. The com- pany all round is an exceptionally strong one. Joe Cheevers, who scored a big success on his first visit to Newport, is back again. He sang several songs on Monday, and was loudly ap- plauded. Arthur Lennard is a deservedly popu- lar artiste. In his entertainment he exhibits acting of a very high order, and his latest ditty, entitled Baby." promises to be as successful as The Old Toll-gate was- Kate Carney's songs quickly caught on, and her coster ditty, Sarah, or a Donkey Cart. Built for Two," was loudly encored. The Sisters Fortesque, duet-tists and dancers Miss Annie Brightstein, balladist Barclay and Perkins, comedians, vocalists, and dancers and Miss Lizzie Fletcher, serio-comic, contributed in no small measure to the enjoy- ment of the evening. SWANSEA. The Swansea Empire was crowded on Monday night, when another successful week was initiated. The company all through is such a good one that it is not easy to assign the primary honours. Miss Rose Sullivan is known as the "brilliant" Irish character artiste, and her performance showed that she is not undeserving of the title. The Brantfords scored with their new musico-comedy act Arthur Reece, as a comedian, bids fair to rival his father on the music hall stage Marie Elsie, in her serio-comic sketches, took the audience by storm; the Dunedin Troupe of cycling specialists performed some astonishing feats Miss Flo Reid, singer and dancer, and Miss Nellie Donegan also filled their parts ably and successfully. THE PANOPTICON. This popular house was well patronised on Monday, and the excellent company engajed left the audience nothing to cavil at. Cee Mee and his daughters stay yet another week. Miss Eugenie Devereaux, a clever musician, contributes a very pleasant turn," and Alice and Addie de Roy vary their excellent song and dance turn with some clever conjuring tricks. Hewitt and Warner supply variety by giving a very funny knock- about turn. The usual competitions will be held during the week. ■a—WEiarMffiffri Mill, nm—

FOR SUNDAY BOATING. Boatmen Petition the Penarth Local Board. At a meeting of the pleasure boats committee of the Penarth Local Board on Monday night, under the presidency of Mr. Morgan, the ques- tion of Sunday beating was discussed.—Three boatmen appeared to state their reasons for plying on Sundays.—Mr. Sherman, one of them, replied that it was impossible for the boatmen to get alivingexceptby working seven day? a week. — Considerable discussion subsequently arese as to how to deal with the recalcitrant watermen. -<ilr. Strawson remarked that he could Hot see any harm in Sunday boating. If that were stopped so shonio vehicular traffic, over which they hadalso siciiar juri'sdieti*n.—Mr. Shepherd thought it inadvisable for it to become publicly known that they were divided over the matter. I The board after i ts last resolution should stand by its ennr., whether right or wrong. (Laughter.! —Mr. *T. Bevan and Mr. Pile were both of opinion that thoy ought wot to show signs of vacillation th-y would be only making fools of themselves. (Renewed laughter.) Let the men see that the board was not, to be played with.— Finally it was resolved that t.ue board at its next ordinary meeting deal with the matter.

PARISH COUNCILS. General Order to Overseers for the Forthcoming Elections. A general order haf just been opportunely issued to the overseers of rural parishes, to county councils and boards of guardians setting forth the rules as to nomination and election of parish councillors. The Local Government Act provides that there shall be a parish council for every rural parish with a population of 300 or upwards, every parish in a rural sanitary district tc be a rural parish for the purposes of the Act. The parish council for a rural I parish i? to be elected from among the parochial electors of that parish, or persons who have during the whole of the twelve months pre- ceding the election resided in the parish or within three miles, and will consi-t of a chair- man and councillors, the number of councillors to be fixed from time to time by the county council, not le.ss than five, not more than fif- teen. No per-on will be disqualified by sex or marriage from being e-leeted, or being a member of a parish council. In a parish divided into parish wards there is to be a separate election of parish councillors for each ward. and. further, the election of a parish councillor is to be at a pa,rish meeting, or at a or poll consequent thereon. The rules provide for every candidate being nominated in writing by Two parochial electors as proposer and seconder, and no mere. In the ca-e of a parish meeting, the per-on- entitled to attend and vote shall be the parochial electors- regis- tered in respect of qualifications in the ward. As we have already pointed oat. the parish meeting for the first election of parit-h councillors will be held on Tuesday, Dec-ember 4. The chairman will a.<k tor nomination papeis to b- handed to h.m, and lit will them number them in the order in which they are received, and the first valid nomination paper received is to be deemed the nomination of the candi- date. The poll, if any. will be on Monday, December 17. or some other day not earlier than Saturday, December 15 nor later than the 19th of that month. The polling hours are to be fixed by the county council. :o that the poll shall ai'.vavs lie open between the hours of six and eight m the evening.

LORD BUTE'S WINE. The "Globe" Offers a Few Humorous Suggestions. The following is from Monday's 'Globe": —There is a paragraph ii, a contemporary 'ins morning about Lord Bute's success as a wine grower, stating that wine from the 1881 crop in Ids Welsh vineyard* realised 115-. a dozen at Birmingham lasc year. and forty hogshead of the finest vintage were the product cf the 1893 season. No mention, however, is made of the brands of the Bute nectar, although his lordship has a rich field for selection. We venture to offer* ¡;i1,DO? suggestions in the form of a trade circular. "The Marque.* of Bute begs to inform his customers that he is enabled tc p.'t before them an assortment of Welsh grown wines of admirable quality and variety. For TJIOSt' inclined to a light and sparkling beverage, lit- can cou-tidently recommend his 'Chateau at a thousand guineas, while those who desire something hea,vier;md more sedative w.ill tind it ir 'Chateau Penbrvn' at f-s. the dozen. He is sanguine all edttf^ated palates will appreciate the rai-e bouquet of 'Mouton Cynvru1 and 'Mabea-une,' while for sacerdotal purposes 'L'oyd-Georpr' has always been :jEiO<-t effective. The Malqup.<s of Bute's port, 'Cardiff.' is too well, known to need further commendation. In this connection, and in view of the recent, disclosures of the Regis- trar-General. we are moved to express the hope that ;u 'v.ture Wales will adopt the motto, "Jr. vino TjHta.s." CONSERVATIVE CLUB" SOCIALS." Each of the Cardiff Conservative clubs are arranging for a series of social evenings daring the winter menths, at which a large number of influential gentlemen have promised to speak. Amongst others, Mr. Lnscclies Car r ha-s kindly promised to preside and speak at each of the eight club*. The vocal and musical talent arranged for is calculated to prove a great attraction.

A SWANSEA SCANDAL. Factory Girl's Charge Against a Local Tradesman. On Monday afternoon, after the ordinary business at Swansea Peliee-couxt, Sir. H. T. Ltyscn applied for a fresh summons in the case of Nic-holls versus Richards for paternity.— Jlr. Ley sou. in reply to the stipendiary, said he had fresh evidence to tender, and would be able to throw light upon, and contradict in some particulars, the evidence of a Sir. Davies, who was in defendant's employ. The defence, he understood, v ould be a very funny one—one that they had often heard of. but which they seldom found brought, into court.

SEAMEN'S STRIKE. Mr. A'ilson Makes Charges Against the Local Marine Board. There is no change to report in the position of affairs at the Cardiff Docks. The officials of the Seamen's Union are actively engaged iu • endeavouring to increase the wages of the mem- bers, and four crews were signed on on Mon- day at the Union rates. Six. J. H. Wilson. -)I.P.. in a speech at Barry on I'riday night, alleged tha.t the Local Slarine Board coun- tenanced and assisted crimping. By this, he meant that certain members of the Local Slarine Board countenanced the illegal ship- ILent of orews, and, on Slonday, he laid the matter before the Board of Trade in London. with a request that the allegations should be investigated. The members referred to deny that thev have been parties to any illegality. It is probable that the charges will be made the subject of an inquiry.. In an interview with SIT. Turner, the superin- tendent of the Shipping Department of the Board of Trade at Cardiff, on that gentleman admitted that Sir. J. H. ikon. M.P., had been very successful at Cardiff, and tht're was no question that a sen- sible advance had taken place gene- rally in the wages of sea.men and firemen sailing from the port. Freights were very low. but shipowners would give the advance, rather than have their vessels detained. A large Cardiff shipowner admitted that this was the case with vessels trading to distant ports, but with regard to the weekly boots they saved monov. Formerlv. wheji hey paid the men 28s. or 28s. 6d. a' week, they kept them and paid their wages regularly, whether the ship was in dock or on the voyage. Now that thev had to pav the men 30s. 6d.. they paid them off dircctly the ship arrived in dock. They saved in this way from seven to eight days' wages for tbt. whole crew every month or five weeks.

About the Mongooe:. i THE DREADED COBRA IS NO MATCH FOR HIM. A Small Animal whose chief Occupation is to Look For and Kill the Deadliest Snakes. A recent distinguished arrival in Cardiff waa a mongoose, imported by a local tradesman. The mongoose is called distinguished ad- visedly, because lie is distinguished above all other animals for his courage in fig-htiugo snakes, lie is variously called mongoose, liioongu* and ichneumon. The last name ish a Greek word. meaning a tracker. It was- I 1L given because this little animal is a tracker of snakes. Various animals are known as ene- mies of snakes. In South America the peccary, or wild hog. kills them frequently. The secretary bird. the adjutant, and several mem- bers of the stork family have a rooted a.nti]>athr to mako", The deer occasionally attacks a. snake. But none of these hunts the dreaded reptiles as the mongoose does. In appearance he is not unlike a weasel- He is thin. and iiiis a long, pointed nose and bright, piercing eves sharp, piercing teeth. He measures a!out 2ft. in length, including his tail, which. i« long. He varies in colour from grey to -n b-own. His expression is one of habitual a-lert- ne-= He is a srentle animal to look at. but (.?t* and do'js who have proposed to have fan with him have been painfully su-pci^ed by his fighting, qualities.

He has a pleasing habit of standing on his hind legs to look at the set nerv and things in general. He. looks ex- rartlv "round about him, like a sailor scanning the horizon. It is bad for a snake's health to be in sight at such a moment. The mortality among human beings from ^nake-bite in India 'le is very great. No reptile contributes to it more than tile dreaded cobra di capello. which is probably the deadliest of ail snakes. It is fond of taking refuge in and near the Habi- tations of man. wherein it compares very un- favourably with the American rattlesnake- A cram-pipe and a bath-tub are favourite resorts with the cobra. It is not apparently aggres- sive. but where it abounds accidents are sun t TEE MONGOOSE.' to happen. The mongoose will also come and take up his residence in the garden of a house.' But if caught young, lie can lie domesticated,, and is as sociable as a cat. The advantage of taming him is that he .an be taught to turn. his attention exclusively to cats and vermiiv and to eschew poultry. Fights have frequently bee): arranged between mongooses and cobras, the '"ombatants being put in cages in order that they might be watched vrith ease and safety. The mongoose was invttriably the victor. The natives of India allege that when the mongoose gets bitten by a snake he goes and' chews all herb which is an antidote fuj poison, but that is probably fiction. It also been asserted that the mongoose enjoys a constitutional immunity from the effects' of snake-bite. But there is good reason to believe that he avoids death only by avoiding- bite?. If the mongoose comes upon the snake unawares he jumps on it and kills it on the- spot. His favourite way of dealing' deatfi is to bite into the base of the reptile's brain. This method has the advantage of depriving1 the snake of the use of its jaws while it is beingt killed. When The snake perceives its enemy it naturally puts itself in fighting attitude. it coils itself and raises its head to strike. The mongoose stands for a moment sideways be- fore the snake, which strikes, but the mon- goose has gone before the fangs can touch him.' At the same time, he inflict- a bite somewhere in the outstretched body of the snake, which,, in that position, is helpless. In an instant the snake is coiled again to strike. The first round is repeated, and so the fight goes on. It may last for lialf-an-hour or more- At last the snake. tired and weakened by bites,, does not recoil itself nuickly enough, the mon- goose pounces on its head. and the fight is over. When hungry, a mongoose will eat a snake, but not otherwise.

CURE FOR CANCER. Morien" has Found an Alleged In fallible Specific. "Morieu" writes:—Written on a blank lea} of an old work. I find the following, undet the dare June, 1788, the writing brown with age:—"An infallible cure of a cancer (from Dn Sloslsy's "Treatise on TVopical Diseases"):: —Spread a. platster of diachylon, with gums.upon thin 1 cabber, 'he size of the cancer. Suppose the plaister to be as large as a crown piece, sprinkle it a scruple of corrosive sublimate of mercury, finely powdered: and so in propor- tion io a larger or smaller piaiatar. This pl-aister must be appheet to the cancer, and rei-nair, on it for 48 hours: but if there is any apprehension that it ha«5 not done it", office iu that1 tune it must remain longer. Then take it off, and apply a poultice of bread and milk, with a- little olive oil. which must be renewed frequently until the cancer comes entirely out by the roots, as it were. The part is then to be dressed, digested, and cured as a common; ulcer. A purge or two with calomel must precede the application.
