"Verdict *of Nine Hundred."—Under this title Messrs. R. J. Heath and Sons, Queen-street, Cardiff, pianoforte makers, organ builders, and music ware- housemen, have collected an imposing array, of testi- monials and Press opinions relating to the quality at the musical instruments supplied by them. The îlra. is so well known in Cardiff, and, indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England, that it is hardly necessary here to well upon its influence and commanding position. Thia collection of testimonials serves, however, to do something more than certify, to the excellence of the instruments furnished bj Messrs. Heath and Sons. It shows, in a sense, how steady is the growth among the general public of a desire for a knowledge of music, and how increas- ingly numerous, even in the homes of the working c.asses, are pianos, organs, and harmoniums. The great majority of the letters in this list relate to pianos, and while many of them have reference to .most costly instruments containing all the latest improvements, suppaed to the well-to-do, the greater number related to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wage-earning portion of the community. This growing love for so refining an an as music is a most favou rable sign. For though in the Principality music has for generations been the chief recreation for the people, it has for the most part been choral music in connection with churches and dispels that has occupied attention. Instru- mental music is now, however, receiving its fair share of attention, and all those in true sympatbv with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials have been received from every quarter of the Principality, while not a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and some from South America, India, and other distant countries. All speak most favourably of Messrs Heath's business methods as well as of their instruments. T> X TTEATH AND QONS JX* il • ri INVITE INSPECTION.

Notes from London .a ALL THE GOSSIP OF TOWN AND CLUBS. The New Speaker—The Contest in Eas Wioklow Off for the Holidays. The new Sfeater ha-? commenced his reign by a very gracious act. He has to-day bestowedon his clerks in chambers, for whose services he will no longer have need, a very hand some annuity. This is the sort of thing those who know Mr. Gully best would expect of him, for, as everyone gladly admitted on Wednesday, his personal virtues are not less notable than his legal eminence. To-day Mr. Gully waited on the retirmg Speaker at the official residence, and had a conference with him and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is understood that Mr. Gully will not go into residence until after the marriage of Miss Peel to Mr. Rochefort Maguire. which interesting event is fixed for Wednesday, the 24th inst. THE CONTEST IN EAST WICKLOW. Events are playing into the hands of the Anti- ParneJlites in East Wicklow. To-day the address of Colonel Tottenham as a Tory can- d'dste is issued. There are also in tha field two Pamelhtes, to wit, Mr. Sweetman and Mr. Langbon, of Bray, both men of aome consideration. Although the Antis have not yet brought out a candidate, they ought to be able to face their opponents with tolerable confidence. The candidature of Colcnel Tottenham is frowned on by the Unionist leaders here. Their objections arj practical. In the first place, if the colonel wins the seat now he will lose it at the general election; inasmuch as the Unionist; are only about a third of the total number of electors. In the second place, if he does not win it will be owing to the disaffection of Unionist voters, ajid there will be shown at the poll a falling off in the Unionist vote which will not repre- sent the actual fact, inasmuch as the number of Unionist electors has increased. In the third plaoe, the leaders regard this as an eminently favourable opportunity for drawing a ring and permitting the two Nationalist factions to fight out their own battle. Therefore, if persuasion will do it, the colonel will withdraw. OFF FOR THE HOLIDAYS. "Punch" this week advises holiday-seekers to stay in town, but, like most other good advice, it is not accepted. The London termini yesterday and to-day were crowded to excess, and it is almost impossible to get about on account of the enormous quantity of luggage scattered about. So far as M.P. s are concerned, they hurried out of town as soon as the House rose. The Leader of the House took train to jvlalwood, where he will stay for five or six days. He is expected at the Treasury at the end of next week. in order to make preparations for the Budget. Mr. Balfour went to Rye, Sussex, and the bright, genial air in this lovely county should put a little colour into the thin, wan cheeks of the hard-working Leader of the Opposition. Sir Ughtred Kaye-Shuttleworth has taken a Channel cruise, and another prominent poli- tician who has gone on tbo > waters is the Hon. George. Ourzon. Thde young gentleman sailed for America, where, on the 22nd, he will take to wife the beautiful Miss Lister. Earl Spencer can now be seen at Althorp Park;1 Sir George Trevelyan at Weloombe, Str&tford-on-Avon, and Mr. Shaw-Lefevre at Bournemouth. Mr. Acland and Mr. Tom Ellis seek recreation among the Welsh hills, the former in Radnor and the latter in Merioneth. As to Lord Salisbury, he and his family are now at Monte Carlo, and a trip to this beautiful spot would do much for the Prime Minister, who is making but slow progress to complete recovery. MAUNDY THURSDAY. To-day being Maundy Thursday, the ancient Royal charities were duly bestowed in Westminster Abbey. The ceremony on these occasions is of a most touching character, and the crowded congregation which assembled to witness it was, as usual, large and deeply impressed. This year gifts from her Majesty were presented by the Right Rev. Lord Alwyne Compton, Bishop of Ely, Lord High Almoner to the Queen, to seventy- six men and seventy-six women, the number of each sex corresponding to the age of the Queen. Until the reign of James II. it was the practice of the Kings and Queens of England to wash the feet of these old persons. King William left the washing to his almoner, and such was the arrangement for many years afterwards. His Grace the Archbishop of York, Lord High Almoner, revived the ceremony of washing the feet of a certain number of poor in the Royal Chapel, Whitehall, but since the begin- ning of the reign of Queen Victoria this cere- mony has been entirely given up, and an additional sum of money given in lieu of provisions. THE LONDON LIBRARY. The London Library, to which Mr. Herbert Spencer has just been elected vice- Sresident, in the place of the late Sir E. H. lunbury, contains over 100,000 volumes. It is situated in St. James's-square, and' was! formed for the convenience of literary and professional men generally. On the steps of this well-patronised building can daily be seen the most eminent persons, with well- read volumes under their arms, about to exchange for some equally-desired book. Charles Dickens was one of the foremost of its promoters, and it would have glad- dened his heart could he but see to what noble use the library is now put. THE NEXT SAVOY PIECE. Mr. D'OyJv Carte informs me that he has arranged with the Royal Carl Rosa Opera any to bring the popular opera "Hansel and Gretel" to the Savoy at Easter. Mr. Carte had originally intended to produce his opera at the Savoy last winter, but, owing to prior arrangements having been made for the production of "The Chieftain," it was not possible to do so at the time. THE GREATEST SHOW IN TOWN. At Olympia most extensive preparations have been made for the crush of visitors who are expected. The streets and squares and bridges within the vast building have been made additionally beautiful by a bountiful display of flowers and garlands. New variety artaisitefi have been introduced into the ?reat spectacle on land and water, and the Hail of a Thousand and One Columns has been transformed into the "Realms of Light," with brilliant and striking effects. On Saturday, the 20th. the West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa football teams will be present after their contest for the English Cup. by invitation of the directors, and on the 24th and 27th there will be great festivi- ties in connection with the Co-operative Congress.

THE ROUTE TO INDIA. ENGLAND STRENGTHENING PERIM'S FORTIFICATIONS. A Renter's telegram from Paris on Thursday says The "Politique Coloniale" publishes a telejyram from Aden stating that the British are about to strengthen the fortifications on the Island of Perim, in the Strait of Bab-el- Man deb. and that they also intend, in order to improve their command of the Strait, to fortify a Deninsula. on the Arabian ooaet oppo- site Perim.

VATICAN AND WALES. ROMAN CATHOLIC ACTIVITY IN THE PRINCIPALITY. A Catholic corespondent, writing in the "Daily Chronicle," says :-It has already been announced that one of the first duties to be performed by the 'Roman Catholic bishops in England, at their annual meeting after Easter, will be the selection of three ecclesiastics to be recommended for the position of Apostolic-vicar for Wales. It is the preparatory step to the ultimate creation of a Welsh hierarchy, which will by-and-bye be accomplished by the appoint- ment of bishops to some of the ancient episcopal sees of the Principality. Following the estab- lishment of the vicariate will be the foundation of a Roman Catholic college for seminarists intended for the priesthood. It is proposed to train priests for service in Wales who can speak and preach in the Welsh language, and to found Catholic missions in many places which are now without the service of any Catholic priest. Imitating the system adopted recently in Lon- don and the United States, it is intended to promote public lectures in the Welsh language in explanation of the doctrines and discipline of the Roman Catholic Church. In the churches sermons will be regularly preached in the ancient anels tongue of the Cymri. Already the Franciscans, the Augustinians, the Jesuits, and others of the religious orders of the Roman Church have homes and educational establishments in the Principality, in which the Welsh language is spoken and taught. For the present these establishments will provide the native preachers. In the parts of the Principality where the Cymrio tongue is in general use, school teachers, with a knowledge of the language, will be placed in charge of the Roman Catholic elemen- tary and intermediate schools. It may be said en passant that the Celtic languages are all taught at the Propaganda College in Rome, where one of the finest- collections of Welsh scholastic literature extant is preserved, and it is deemed not at all improbable that a Welsh college will be added to the educational estab- lishments of the Church in the Eternal City," where England. Scotland, and Ireland already have colleges of their own.

FUNERAL OF AN ARMY VETERAN. On Thursday the remains of Edward Bald- win, the Army veteran, who died at his resi- dence, 5, Davis-street, Cardiff, on Sunday last, were laid to rest at the New Cemetery, Car- diff. A large number of veterans from the district and sergeants and men from the depot attended to pay a last tribute of respect. The MB. BALDWIN, THE ARMY VETERAN. I coffin, of polished oak. was carried in Messrs. Stone Bros.' handsome open car, and was covered with the Union Jack, to which the deceased soldier's three medals—Crimean, Turkish, and Indian Mutiny—were pinned. On tho coffin were also laid Baldwin's helmet and sword.

A SINGULAR ACCIDENT. A singular accident has happened to Mr Charles Jones, assistant-engineer to the Over- head Electrical Railway Company at Liverpool. He was engaged at the machinery which sends the electric current along the line when the current came back with great power, burning him terribly about the face and hands. He was removed to the hospital in a critical condition.

—— --? ENGLAND AND EGYPT. FRENCH JEALOUSY OF BRMSH INFLUENCE. A Jleuter's telegram from Paris on Friday says :-The "Matin" publishes a remarkable letter from M. Delonole, who is at present staying in Cairo, in which the French Deputy, after stating that Egypt has never been more tranquil than now, declares that the signatures to the petitions, which have been circulated praying for the continuance of the British occupation, have only been obtainable by force. M. Deloncle further asserts that Lord Cromer is planning a fresh expedition to Dongola, and even to Khartoum, in order to create a npw complication which will afford an excuse for maintaining the British occupation of the country. Finally M. Bekmcle assures his fellow-countrymen that the influence of France in Egypt is still considerable, and that the natives look to France for a prompt solution of the present situation.

UNION OF TEACHERS. WORK OF THE WELSH SUB- COMMITTEE. The twenty-fifth annual report of the National Union of Teachers, to be presented to the annual conference in the Central-hall, Manchester, on Easter Monday, after dealing with the progress of the body refers to the question of superannuation, and states that the Government had added a sum of nearly JB1,500 to the amount at disixwal in pensions for teachers who entered the profession before the 9th of May, 1862. On several occasions during the year cases of hardships of teachers arising from insecurity of tenure had been brought before Parliament, but difficulties arising from legal and administrative matters had hitherto blocked the way to a satisfactory issue. The executive strongly feel that a. suitable Tenure Bill should, not only preclude the imposition of non-scholastio tasks upon teachers, but should also provide that a teqeher may not be dismissed except by the vote of at least two-thirds of the managers, nor except for reasonable cause assigned. The Welsh' sub-committee had dealt with various matters arising from the develop- ment of intermediate education in the Princi- pality. The general secretary acted as one of tho returning officers for the election of repre- sentatives of teachers of public elementary schools on the governing body of the University College of South Wales, and effectual steps were taken to promote similar representation upon the council of the University College of North Wales. Representatives of primary teachers now sit upon the court of the Univer- sity of Wales and upon county governing bodies for intermediate education.

LOCAL WINDING-UP PAPERS. The London Gazette" of Friday night states tha.t the following local companies have been voluntarily wound up :-Nelson Institute (Limited), Nelson, Glamorgan (Mr. D. Morgan, of Nelson, has been appointed liquidator for the purpose of winding up); John Bull Gold Mining Syndicate, 12, Mount-street, Cardiff (for re-construotion and registration of a new company) Messrs. J. R. Christie and H. Godfrey, both of Cardiff, are the liquidators for the purpose of winding up.

IiLANBLLY EISTEDDFOD. It is probable that the difficulty which has arisen between the authorities of the Llanelly National Eisteddfod and the shareholders of the market will now be removed, it having been decided to ask the borough council to clear the space between the Presbyterian Church and Bradbury-hall, and thereon erect a marquee, with suitable provision tor the stallholders. The stallholders, too, promised to become guaran- tors of the eisteddfod.

TIN-PLATE TRADE. It is stated that the men of the Western Works, Llanelly, have decided to fall in with the proposal to restrict the make in accordance with the suggestion set forth by the Board of Control. Hitherto the western men have taken an independent course in the matter.

Some Singular Stakes, OWNERSHIP SETTLED BT CARDS OR DICE. On Her Deathbed Goldsmith's Olcfc Lady Played for Her Funeral Expenses. Everyone knows the story of Goldsmith'# old lady, who, lying Kick unto death, played cards with the curate to pass the time away, and, after winning all his money, had just pr0- posed to play for her funeral charges, when she expired. There have been stranger stakes still. In 1735, when Hemy and James Trotter sat downfc at the Salmon Inn, Chester-le-street, London,. to play a game of cards against Robert Thorns- and Thomas Elliston, the latter pair staked 5s. and the former a child:, the son of Mr. ancv, Mrs. Leesh, who gave up their boy in all serious- i:ess to the winners. Even more serious were the stakes played" for by two men whom the police reported in. 1812 as having been found in the Hampstead- road. One was on a wall, the other was hang- ing by his neck from a lamp-post, just ".shoved* off." They had tossed all day-first for money, then for clothes, lastly for which of the two should hang the other. During the reign of Henry VIII. some lovera of cockfighting being gathered together at West- minster, Sir John Anderton put down the first duck-winged cock ever seen in a cockpit, cry- in!—" There's the jewel of England. For 81.; hundred in hand, and a. hundred in land, 1'11'1 fight him 'gainst any cock in England. Bran. don, Duke of Suffolk, accepted the challenge, and wagered the tithe? of Ecclæ, bestowed' upon him by his Royal brother-in-law, upon the result, losing the battle and the tithes, and duck-winged oocks are to this day unknown in Lancashire as "Anderton's jewels." Colonel Edgeworth, who served under Wil- liam III., was an inveterate gamester. One night* having lost all his money, he went to his wife and asked her to lend him her diamond errrings. She took tfcsm from her tars with- out demur, and he returned to the card-table. The stake proved a lucky one, and brought hi" losings bade again. A traveller in New Zealand, spending nigh* in a squatter's hut, was invited to out in, for a ruIJiber of whist. As he took his seat,- he inquired: "What points?" His partner responded, in a tone of significant eurpriset at such a questioto, "Why, the usual game, of; course—i hesp points and1 a bullock on the' rubber." 1 Unlesa Espartero and his foe Maraie are j much belied, more momentous issues were de- cided by the cards in a lone farmhouse ai. Bergard, where they privately met to uranga; a truce between their respective forces. N-i4 sooner did Erpartero enter the room tha.1 the, Cariist chief challenged him to a game of tres- &ilio—a challenge the Christina commander a6- oepted with alacrity. Espartero first won altf Marato'a money; they then played for the con- ditions 4 tOO iruoe, and! fin illv Marato etakecP the surrender of hie farces. The Christina* commander's luck continuing, Marato within- twenty-four (hours laidi down arms, and brought the first Cariist war to an ignominious end. Members of the fair sex have been parties to chance or skill in disposing of their deefciny- Unaible to decide between her two suitors, » girl agreed to keep the ecore while they played dominoes for her hand and1 heart, and ab the* finish of the game presented her rings to the bfaten one as some solace for his defeat. Many a large estate has been sold to satisfy its owner's debts of honour, but only a very,, -'hardened gambler would endure the humilia-^ tion of directly risking his ancestral acres ott- the chances of the cards. Such a man, how- ever, was Lord! Worthall, who, having lost1 everything else, staked his whole estate against JB10,000 upon a, single game of put. He held his own and' that was all, to the last deal, when, in cutting, he exdaimed: "Up now, deuce, or else a trey. j Or Wort hall's lost for aye and aye.' ,I.. He was lucky enough to out the deuce of diamonds; and, to commemorate his escapei from ruin, he had the deuce of diamonds out j jjn marble and affixed to the para.pet of EM mansion.

GOOD FRIDAY. GLORIOUS WEATHER FAVOTTBS PLEASURE SEEKERS. The glorious weather experienced in Soath: Wales on Good Friday was much enjoyed by holiday-seekers, and the numerous exoureiee* run by local railways and various opw-wr events were largely patronised. Religious services took place in all the churches, and' charity concerts were held in several districts, all of which were well attended. The Channel excursions were well patronised, and ,h$;; Penarth Pier during the day was visited fay* over 10,000 people. At the Panoptioon, Ca.r-t; diff. where the "Man in a Trance" was oa view,, there was a continual flow of sightseers. Bostock and Wombwell's Menagerie alent proved a great attraction. The Amalgamated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen,- Great Western Railway, Cardiff, held their- annual dinner at the "Wells Hotel, Craddook- street, Cardiff, in the evening. At Newport! football amongst junior clubs was greatly in evidence morning and afternoon, and steam-* boat excursions were largely patronised. Air Barry the railway men held a demonstration, for the benefit of the Widows and Orphans' Fund of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, while tha members of the "Dorcas" Company, plavitig at the Grand Theatre, Cardiff, gave a> grand sacred concert. Most of the artistes contributed items to the programme, which W9&. greatly appreciated. At the Park-hall ajtottfp sacred ooneert was given by the Cardiff Branch of the Amalgamated Musicians' Union, in a.id: of the benevolent fund, and was distinctly; successful. The theatres and other places of amusement being closed for tho night, the leaders of orchestras and quadrille bands and many local professionals contributed their ser- vices. Amongst the vocalists who took part was Miss Lucy Clarke, R.A.M., contralto. The orchestra numbered 70 performers, ably: led by Mr. W. Burgess, Cardiff Empire. To inaugurate the opening of the cycling season a large gathering of wheelnnen assembled; at the rear of the Town-hall in the morning, among whom we noticed a good muster of the Cardiff Borough- United, and the 100 miles road olubs. After being photographed, a start was made at 10.30 for St. Bride's. Caerleon, and Usk. The Cardiff Jockey Club, to the num, ber of 60, joined in the procession on Newport- road, having been delayed at their head- quarters. At each place dinner was par- taken of by the several clubs. The cyclistsy who numbered something like 200, were- mounted on all kind of machines. After spend- ing an enjoyable time at the rendezvous, a retucp was made soon after seven o'clock, Car- diff being reached about 9.30.
