The Cymric Causerie. GOSSIP AND CHATTER OF OLD GWALIA. Paragraphs of Persons and Places Gathered all over the Princi- pality. There is a paper in Paris called the "Esta- fette." Is this the IVencIi mode of writing "eisteddfod" ? A North Wales barrister, it is said. will never appear for a licensed victualler at brew- ster sessions. Hie statement is made in a Liverpool paper. Labour and Liberalism are doing the three- legged race in an awkward fashion. Mr. Samuel Smith is now worried by fears of a Labour candidate next elect-ion. A Newport man who asked for Mrs. Tre- henie's story, "The Mill on the Usk," was furious when he couldn't find anything in it about Cardiff v. Newport football. The commeint the Westminster Gazette" offers on Sir John Llewelyn's remarks oil the Land Commission is that they show how the example of Ireland spreads. Wjtles is to have a State loan: the turn of Scotland and England is to come, His a singular thing that, although Mr. Chas. Brandling and his wife, Lady Julia Jersey, had always been especially careful of their health, both have died more or less suddenly and within a. year or so of time. A baby set up crying 00 loudly in Cardiff Police-court on Wednesday that the ca^e in which its it-other was engaged was adjourned for a month. And now look out for babies in that court. Every defendant will carry one. There is no capital of Wales says the editor of the "Y orkshire Post," in reply to a cor- respondent. We invite the gentleman to say the same thing from the steps of the Cardiff Town-hall and then wait for something to happen. For fifteen years Madame Albani ha? done the soprano part for the Christmas perfor- mance annually given by the Leeds Festival Choir. This year the great prima donna's place will be taken by Miss Maggie Davies, of Dowlais. The Swansea illegitimacy scandal is almost attaining the proportions of a divorce ca- in the London courts. It is only half finished after two days' hearing, and one of the coun- sel, Mr. Glasoodine, yesterday made a speech of three hours' duration. Even Mr. Ley son was tired. Welshmen in America are fond of proving their attachment to the old country by giving truly Welsh names to their children. Miss My fan wy Williams, the daughter of a well- known Scranton merchant and a prominent Welshman is at present the guest of Consul Anthony Howells. Our artist simply anticipated things when he represented Sir William Harcourt as a, Welshman, It is now sought to be proved that »S:r Williawi is a Cymro pure and simple, and if the. attempt proves successful we are confi- dent, lie will turn cut to be a Cardiganshire man. The interview which the Religious Review of Reviews" obtained with Principal Owen came out in the issue of that periodical on I Sept-ember 15 last. This intimation is given for fear our readers, after reading our par. last Saturday 011 the subject, will look in some future number of the "Review" for what Canon Owen has been saying. It is seriously stated in a weekly paper that "in Wales and Cornwall malny of the miners burn their hats upon the birth of a male child; if ft girl be born his neighbours I' burn it for him." We have never heard or this custom, but we knew a man once who wanted to burn the house down when he I was told it was triplets. In the year 1825 twelve captains of Cornish vessels, who traded regularly to the port of Swansea, were spending a convivial evening at the old King's Head in Castle-square, where the Castle Hotel now is. Their names Were:—H;<m, Gammon, and Bacon; Broom. Gimlet, and Button; Spring, Summer, and Winter: Dark, Knight, and Day. Why doesn't Sir George Osborne Morgan accept the challenge hurled at him by Mr. Lloyd-George. The young revolter has stated in so many words that when Sir George went to ask Sir William. Harcourt what he was going to do for Welsh disestablishment the "popular" Chancellor used language grossly insulting to Wales. What was it that Sir William said? A poet has arisen on the banks of the r sk- or from the bed of the Usk, judging of the clearness of his rhyme-and he sings in a shrill treble as follows — South Monmouthshire, South Monmouthshire., Be up and do things thorough; Your reputation should not be That of a pockct borough. 1 As^rt your and now No more you 11 have a Tory, For you. as representative, Have chosen Clifford Cory. Three cheers, my boys, three lusty cheers, For gallant Clifford Cory. Who. with one voice, is made our choice To oust an ancient Ton". We trust this anthem will be sung at Mr. Cory's meetings. Journalists the world over are famous for their bonhomie, but it sometimes happens +3iey sujffer for this weakness. An able South Wales pressman one evening joined a party of wits who were spending a con- vivial evening at a well-known resort. One of the party was experimenting upon "the tundi.-h trick," and he easily induced the late oomer to undertake the ta,sk of dropping the ha'penny from his nose into the recep- tacle, which was hung in the last button- hole of his waistcoat. Hardly had the tosk been undertaken before the poor dupe ex- perienced a sudden chilL That tundish had directed a stream of home-brewed into his garment, a.nd he turned and went home a wiser and a wetter min. A correspondent who has recently returned from a visit to LI an bens writes in a sad strain to the London "Daily News. He sa-ys he was gnieved to find it commonly reported that within the next twelve months a railway w,ill be opened to the summit of Snowdon, and a large hotel built there. As the originator of the scheme is said to be also the proprietor of the land there will be no need for an Act off Parliament., so that there seems but little chance of preventing the disfigurement of the most beautiful and grandest of all the Welsh mountains. But, perhaps, continues the cor- respondent, if lovers of na;ture would make their voice heard the scheme might yet be re-con- sidered, and the monarch of the Cambnian Hills saved from the vandalism of the contractor. Perhaps so, but if the destruction of the scheme is to be done by a voice it had better be the voice of "Gurnos. The new book, "The Mill on the Usk," does not refer to the fight in which Mr. Spicer defeated Sir George Elliot, but is a story written by Mrs. Arthur Treherne, and tells how a' young Welshman slew another young Welshman to his hurt, was tried1 for manslaughter, defended by a bene- volent Q.C.. »ho alif ve evidence for tie

RIOT ACT READ. Extraordinary Scene in a Cardiganshire Chapel. It is reported that some extraordinary pro- ceedings have recently taken place at a chapel in Cardiganshire. The dispute and split amongst the congregation have been commented upon in some of the Welsh papers, notably the" Brython," but we learn that at a more recent service the minister actually read the Riot Act from the pnlpit. Such an extraordinary proceeding has caused much comment in Nonconformist circles, even as far removed as Swansea, but the facts lead- ing up to the act have not yet been received by us.

MARIE LLOYD'S HUSBAND. His Petition for Divorce Dismissed with Costs. The Central News says :-It will be remem- bered that Mr. Percy Courtenav some time ago instituted proceedings for divorce against Mrs Matilda Alice Victoria C'ourtenay, better known as Marie Lloyd, alleging that she had committed adultery with two co-respondents at Datchet and at Carleton-road, Tufnell Park. A summons was issued on behalf of the respondent and co- respondents asking for fuller particulars, and on June 19 an order was made for delivery of these particulars. As the petitioner has not complied with the registrar's order the petition has been summarily dismissed, petitioner to pay all costs.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. Opposition to Councillor Brain at Grangetown. 0 Efforts are being made by the. Liberal party at Grangetown to induce Mr. Allen Upward, barrister, to contest the ward at the forthcoming November elections in opposition to the sitting member. Councillor S. A. Brain. His reply is ejected in a few days, but in the event of his refusal it is understood that Mr. Samuel Mildon. t-he re- jected of 1892-93, will again enter the- li^ts. The temperance section of the Liberals are determined to oppose Councillor Brain at any cost. Little fear is entertained by Mr. a' Brain's supporters, however, for his popularity with all sections of electors in the borough practically ensures his re-election.

LORD BUTE'S DAUGHTER. Rumoured Engagement to Lord C, Lovat. The "Pall Mall Gazette" en Wednesday said —"A marriage, it is rumoured in Scot- land. is on the point of being arranged be- tween Lord Lovat and Lady Margaret Crichton-Stuart, the eldest daughter of the Jiarquess and Marchioness of Bute." The information had not been continued on \Y=d- nesday night, but there seems nothing im- probab'e in our contemporary's statement. Such a marriage would bring about an alliance between two of the most powerful Roman Catholic families in Scotland. Lady Ma.rgaret was born on December 24, 137.5, and is thus in her nineteenth year, and Lor. Lcvat is 23. THE LOTAT FAMILY. The Frasers were originally of Norman extraction, rn dtlie earliest a.coounts give the family name as Frizelle, or Fraser. They first came into prominence in the year 1250. At that time the Lord of AtJlOle wa." slaii and his house burned. The Blyssets. a High- land family of great possessions, were impli- cated, and their Scottish estates were for- feited and given to the Frasers, who from that t.ime founded an influence which became troublesome to the Government 500 years afterwards. In the reign of Charts I. tlw Frasers joined the Covenanters, but it was in the rebellion of 1745 that the family became most prominent. Simon Fraser, who was born in 1676, was the thirteenth Lord Lovat. One of his first acts on leaving ooliege was to recruit 300 men from his clan to form part of a regiment in the service of Wiliam and Mary, hit- object being to "have a well- trained body of soldiers under his influence, whom at a moment's notice he might catfry over to the interest of King James. I Si'K'e hit t time the Lovats have not Ja Ken any prominent part- in the history of the country. A WELSH CLAIMANT TO THE TITLE. Some time ago considerable sensation was caused both in the North of Scotland and throughout Wales by the announcement thft a claimant had came forward to dispute the title to the estates with the late Lord Lovat. There had. indeed, been whispers going rouud that- there were grounds for contesting t.he matter, but the generaJ opinion amongst the Highlanders, with whom Lord Lovat was very }H pt iar, was that his lordship was the rightful heir. At all events, the matter came before the House of Lords, when the claimant, John William Fraser. of Carnarvon, since deceased, boldly proclaimed himself the direct descendant of an ancestor if I. T.i I ovat's who, fleeing from justice, settled down in Anglesey. Mr. Fraser had a fairly complete case to put before the court, and brought up many aged witnesses from Anglesey to speak as to his connections. Tiie Lords, however, held that a prima facie claim had Dot been made out, and that Lord Lovat wa.- the proper li-ir to the estates.

BARRY DOCK. The Company Contemplating a Big Experiment. The directors of the Barry Dock and Rail- ways Company are already, it is understood, making preparations for going to Parliament next November for new powers, and the ex- tension of traffic facilities in connection with the docks is believed to be the main ques- tion under consideration. In addition to new railway works a scheme has been put forward to fonn a. branch line to the pier- head, which will enable excursion and ocean boats to embark and disembark passengers ^•id ma.il" with promptitude and facility, and the completion of the deep-wa-ter entrance next year will facilitat-e the arrival and despatch of a, class of shipping which does not now visit the port. The Barry directors have long been anxious to encourage an import trade, and with this object in view we learn that they are prepared to go so far as to provide vessels on their own responsi- bility for the transit of general traffic between Barry and Burnhnm and other places 011 the opposite side of the t hannei. thus affording new and more expeditious means of commu- nication between South Wales and London and other English commej-eial oentres.. Next year. too. the new branch railway to Bam- Island will be completed, and this it is intended to utilise for more important pur- po=ee than simply the conveyance of pas- sengers to t4iis new place of seaside resort.

There a, at the Cardiff Empire this week what is. perhaps, the best troupe of perform- mg dogs that lias been seen :n the Welsh Metropolis for some considerable time. There are boxing and trick walking dogs, and others that turn somersaults. The latter deserve special mention, one in particular being re- maikable for the smart way 111 which lie throws lack somersaults clean over the bat* of a huge St. Bernard. through hoops and paper screens—and turns taem. too. vculiout the slightest hesitation or coaxing. Tha the serpentine dancing dogs are aloO excep- tionally smart. But the trick ridiug act is, perhaps, the most novel and smart of aii. Many of the tricks of bare-back riders are tin gone through—jumping over barriers, through paper hoops, and on to the bar—whilst the "fiery- untamed"—the afore-aid St. Bernard —trots round the ring by himself. A beauttifully formed dog is "Laddie." a greyhound, wlia-i clean jumping is a treat to witness. and on Wtdnesday night his feats were accorded r; liounded applause. After the'Voow dm'oi o:> rtpresentatives had a chat with Mr. Marvelle. the owner and trainer of the animals, relative to his career. "Your first appearance was—remarked the reporter tentatively. '"Mv entrance into the profession was rather peculiar, in fact, it can hardly be called an en- trance. I commenced my career in the streets of London with a number of performing citia, ries- I always tool: to animals and birds, and whilst I was out with the canaries a gentleman who saw me asked me if I would like to go to America. That was 23 years ago. I accepted the offer after a little hesi- tation. and crossed 'the pond" to the land of 'stars and stsripes,' railway accidents, end cyclones. I appeared in many towns in the States until I was twenty years of age. Then I had a change, and Went in for animal training, with the result that lien I wus 22 I was the proprietor of a iliow v.'hva in- cluded Brahma bulls, sheep, and geese, all of which gave performances- "Geese stupid bird.-? No. Many of the public hold the same c-pinion, but instead of being the most stupid pupils I have had to handle, geese proved to be very inte.lli.gent, indeed. Now. I had a troupe of geese in America, and they performed in a nianper equal to many troupes of dogs. One gander was particularly apt and after about two months teaching he would play a game of cards with any member of the audience. It came ahcmt. this way. One morning after practice I was having lunch, when 1 dropped a. piece cf bread 011 a cam. H»e Kai-uor near at hand swallowed it. and. wanting: some more, picked up the card, and walked- with it in his mouth to me. I made him repeat this over and over again, and ulti- mately gained my object. The gander was a big success, and drew immense crowds, and I was enabled to sell the animals and travel only with him." ""What is your method of training?'' "Simply this. Ample patience, perseve- rance. and a certain amount of will force. Of course, vou must, make the animals understand that you are their master, and not afraid of them. Instinctiyely animals find this out." "What was your most difficult feat?" "ll. when I brought out the "somersault"' dog. I was tIhe first to produce fiiat. triM., 8ftd I liad a lot of trouble at first. I teach the dogs to perform the trick in r, ther a umque way. I simply turn the dog over an a careless fashion until the animal, becoming disgusted ait the manner in which he is tre-ated, turns himself in his ov-n and the proper way." "And as to the jumping?'' '•Well with regard to that, I dont myself think a dog can be taught to jump any given distance. My dog Laddie jumps 23ft.—011 this ¡;ta.ge- about 20ft. to 24ft. By-tbe-bye, a feat which I found very difficult, and which, although I have travelled all over the world with my show, has not been copied, is that of the equestrian dogs." Chatting about the dogs and their doings, Mr. Marvelle rattled away. "StraRge ex- periences? Well. yes. several; but about the worst occurred in the. States about eightyear6 ago. The train we were travelling in was wrecked.andour car. winch was 60ft. long, and contained 60 people, rolled about 25 yards down an embankment. Next to our car m-ag one in connection with Forepaugli s Circus and which was carrying a number of wild animals. The smash put out the lights. and. the night being very dark, we could see nothing. Some of the animals broke loose, and orders were given not to move until the manager in charge found out what was amiss. As you may imagine, when we heard the howls of the, leopards, lions, timers, and jackals who had got loose, we remained as still as possible, and the sus- pense was dreadful. There we were a.lto- gether on a pitchy dark night waiting for assistance, with enough wild animals around us to populate a deoent-sized African forest. The prayer uttered by Wellington at Waterloo was—'O, that night or Bludher were here.' but ours was for daylight "It's coining, sir." said Mr. Donnelly. the stage manager, a-s he lowered the lights, and we found that. it was. indeed, morning, but not daylight.

Michael Wiltshire, a labourer, was sent to prison for a month by the Pontypridd bench on Wednesday for stealing a trousers, valued at 7s. 6d., from Anthony Ford's lodginjr-house. On being taken below the prisoner threatened the prosecutor, and he was at once brought back to the dock and ordered by the stipendiary to be imprisoned for another montli.

prisoner, was acquitted, got married, and •went to America. The good rector's speech at the. wedding breakfast was given in the Welsh language—but the "Daily Chronicle" can forgive him for that, for a few days before he told a very good story of an angelic visi- tation. In her preface the author says: — "I think it likely that the tale may have an especial interest to the public mind, as the wene in which the events narrated occurred is one of the loveliest valleys in South Wales, where also his Royal Highness the late deeply-lamented Duke of Clarence spent three days during the la.^t autumn of his brief life." In Liverpool 100 years ago yesterday was horn Felicia Dorothea Browne, the Mrs. Felicia- Henians of poetry. Her father died leaving her and her mother in a wilderness of an old building in Wales, where at the a.ge of seven s'he. began to write verse. Among many productions was a drama, written at I the suggestion of Bishop Heber—"Vespers of Palermo"—for Covent Garden Theatre, I and seen there in 1823, also at Edinburgh, when Sir Walter Scott wrote the epilogue. It is 64 years since the "Songs of the A flec- tions" were published. Many of her pieces first appeared in the "-New Monthly"' and the 'Edinburgh Magazine." Her husband. Mr. Hemaiis, fought aa an officer during part of the Peninsular campaign, and died early in Italy. It was while engaged upon a collected edition of her ixieins that she died in Dublin in the second decade of the pre- sent century. It is strange (says the "Daily Chronicle") that. the centenary of the birth of a lady whose lines have taken a peace and serenity to thousands of British homes, which more pretentious works have failed to do, should not have been honoured I by some of the pnMtshers.
