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 of the musical instruments supplied by them. The firm is so well known in Cardiff, and, indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England, that it is hardly necessary here to dwell upon its influence and commanding position. This collection of testimonials serves, however, to do something more than certify to the excellence of the instruments furnished by 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 increasingly numerous, even III the homes of the working classes are manes, organs, and harmoniums. The great majority of the letters in this list re-late to pianoe and while many of them have reference to most costly instruments containing all the latest improve- ments, supplied to the well-to-do, the greater mun ber relate to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wage-earning portion of the community. This growing love for so refining an art j as music is a most favourable sign. For though in the Principality music has for generations been the chief recreation of the people, it has for the most art been choral music in connection with churches lAd chapels that has occupied attention. Instru- mental music is new, however, receiving its fair a are of attention, and all those in true sympathy with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials have been re- ceived from every quarter of the Principality, while not a. few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and some from South America., Iiidia, and other distant countries. All speak most favourably of Messrs. Heath's business methods as well ItS of their instruments. it j nEATH and INVITE INSPECTION.

OUR ART ALBUMS. Fourth Number of the Series to be Issued Te-morrow. Although no less than 150,000 copies of the first number of Mr. Stoddard's magnificent art album were issued, the demand has ex- ceeded the supply, and No. 1 is now out of print.* IB the produefcioa of the first issue three sets of plates were so worn as to be rendered practically useless for supplying any further good impressions. However, not to disappoint, the large number of our readers who have ordered and paid for copies ef the first number, we have sent to America for the original engravings, taken direct from the photographs, and from these fresh engravings will be prepared in England, so that a second edition may be printed equal in every respect to, and as perfect and as clear ae, the first edition. This announcement will, we hape, prevent disappointment, and we may mention that we are making arrangements to have copies of the first edition despatched to customers with.m f.D of the «e*r>nd and. third numbers may still be obtaiaed, and the fourth number will be ready to-morrow (Thurs- day.)
THE FATAL GLOVE FIGHT.
THE FATAL GLOVE FIGHT. A Meeting of Nonconformists Held in an Aberdare Chapel. At Calvaria Chapel, Aberdare, on Tuesday night a meeting ef delegates from the various Nonconformist places of worship in the Aber- dare Valley was held, under the presidency of Mr. W. Phillips (postmaster), for the purpose of protecting against the law allowing what are practically prize fights to he carried on in the form of glove contests. The vestry- hall was Crowded to excess, those present in- eluding most of the leading ministers of the town, but evidently no invitation had been ex- tended to the supporters of the Established Church, who were conspicuous by their absence.—Mr. T. Howells t" Rywel Cynon ") deprecated the facility with which youths of the Eresent day were able to conduct themselves in ghts.—The Kov. Thomas Jones (Carmel) followed in a similar strain, and eventually the following resolution, proposed by the Rev. D. Silyn Evans and seconded by the Rev. J. Griffiths, was carried unanimously That this meeting urges upon the different Churches in the valley to do their utmost, without delay, through home missionary efforts, to persuade the young people within their districts to give up their competitive sports that are associated with gambling; such as racing, boxing, betting, gambling, &c., on account of the influence it had upon spiritual reli- gion and on the eternal destiny of hundreds. The following resolution, proposed by Mr. Thomas Howells, was agreed to:— That, having regard to the tragic ending of a so called boxing contest in Aberdare on the 17th inst., we, the representatives of the various Churches in the Aberdare Valley, set forth our strongest dis- approval of the law with regard to boxing saloons as it new stands, and that we are determined to do all we can to amend the law so as to prevent prize fighting taking place, and for the punishment of those engaged in or arranging the same. It was also decided that an executive com- mittee be formed to carry the resolution into effect, and to enlist the services of the friendly societies in suppressing the evils complained of.—Mr. W. B. Phillips was appointed secre- tary.

AtPontypriddthe guarantors have to make up a deficiency of £ 1,000; at Breeoii the balance is the other way about, for the profits reiched the handsome sum of JB500. Naturally, the members of the committee are delighted, and well they may be. It would now serve a good purpose to inquire why com- paratively small eisteddfodau are financially more successful than large ones.

Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone sent a beautiful wreath in memory of the old village worthy, and Mrs. Gladstone, in a sympathetic letter, wrote:—" We have lost a true friend, and we sympathise with the family. We have spent many happy days with her, and her kind- ness to us has been very great at times. The blank caused by her death will be much felt by us."

HEAD TEACHERS' SALARIES.
HEAD TEACHERS' SALARIES. New Scale to be Enforced for Cardiff in September. For some time past the Cardiff School Board ha.ve been considering the advisability of dis- continuing the system of paying their head teachers a certain salary, with a, share of the Government grant. This custom has been in vogue for many years, and was originally adopted as a means of stimulating the teachers to work up their schools to the highest state of efficiency. THis system has now been voted old-fashioned and not suited to the times. As a. matter of fact, out of fifteen or sixteen of the most important school boards in the kingdom Cardiff is the only one which still adheres to the practice. This state of things, however, will soon cease. From the 1st of September next the head teachers of Cardiff, both male and female, will be paid a. fixed salary, and whatever Government grant is earned will go direct into the coffers of the school board. The maximum salary of first grade teachers in boys' schools. will be JESOO per annum, and in the girls' departments jS200 a year. All the old teachers of the board will receive the maximum allowance, but in the caee of new teachers being appointed the commencing salary will be JB250 in the boys' schools and £130 in the girls' departments, rising by annual increments of £5 until the maximum has been reached. In the case of second grade teachers the maxi- mum salaries will in each department be B50 per annum less than those of first grade teachers, but the same system will be adopted in regard to the commencing salary and annual increases. It is expected that the new scheme will be favourably received by the head teachers generally, although several who are engaged at the larger schools will probably suffer a slight reduction in their present earnings. It is generany admitted, however, that the new scale will be more satisfactory than having to depend on the share of Government grant, which is always an unknown quantity.
CARDIFF PIER TOLLS.
CARDIFF PIER TOLLS. Sir E. J. Reed Sends a Remonstrance to Sir W. T. Lewis. Our special London correspondent, telegraph- ing on Tuesday nigbt, says Sir Edward Reed informs me that he is entirely averse to Clause 25 of the Bute Docks Bill, which comprises the liability of the pay- ment of 2d. upon every person who embarks or disembarks at the port of Cardiff. He feels very strongly on the matter, and ha.s to-day written Sir W. T. Lewis on the subject, ex- pressing a hope that the clause will be with- drawn. Sir Edward points out that Sir William can hardly hope to pass such a clause through the House of Commons. Until the member for Cardiff receives a reply to this letter he will defer any further action.
RUGBY FOOTBALL.
RUGBY FOOTBALL. Committee Deckle upon New Points in the Laws. We are officially informed that the following points of law have been decided by the Rugby Committee:—In the event of a three-quarter passing the ball back to his full-back, who misses the pasij, and the ball, just touching his shoulder, rolling dead, the ball must be brought back and serimmaged where it touched the full-bade. According to a previous ruling of the odmmittee, if the ball had been played by an opponent and touched the shoulder of the full-back it would not have to be brought back. The committee are of opinion that such should not be the ruling in a case where the full-back receives the ball from one of his own side. It has also been held that when a player is off-side, and within five yards of an opponent who has the ball, the onus is on him to get out of the way of his opponent, and if he does not, and it is charged against by him, a free-1 kick or a. scrimmage, in accordance with Law j 8, Section E, should be awarded. It lias been agreed that the England and Scotland match shall be played in London next season. England v. Scotland. The Central News learns that it has been decided in connection with the Rugby Football Union that the match between England and Scotland shall be played in London.
GROCERS' LICENCES.
GROCERS' LICENCES. The Sensational Statement of a Merthyr Guardian. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING EXPRESS." Sir,—In reference to your report of the meeting of the Merthyr Board of Guardians, has Mr. Davis any idea of the staff of men and horses it would take to deliver the amount of goods he alleges to be sold at one estab- lishment every Saturday night ? In the usual course of business 150 dozen bottles is a good day's work for a horse, man, and boy to deliver, and twenty barrels is a good day's work for a horse and two men to deliver from a. brewery in large casks; so that to deliver 1,400 small casks and 30,000 dozen bottles would require at least 210 horses and over 400 men and boys. Now. Cardiff is the Metropolis of Wales in everything, and stands Al for public- houses, clubs, shebeens, and Sunday drinking generally, but I am prepared to assert that the whole of the Cardiff bottler? put together do not bottle 30,000 dozen per week for Cardiff oonsumption.—I am, Ac., VERITAS.

NORTH-WEST PASSAGE.
NORTH-WEST PASSAGE. A Glamorganshire Man the First to Cross Hudson's Bay. Though it is a fixed idea. with Welshmen that Madoc discovered America, few comparatively are aware of what- is not legend but fact, viz., that two of their number were amongst thg early searchers for a. North West Passage. The whole of the interesting story is told in Mr. Miller Christy's new book, Voyages of Foxe and James to the North West," one of the famous series issued under the auspices of the Hakluyt Society, and which gives not only a most readable account of the voyagers, but also their own quaint narratives of their adventures in regions at that time almost wholly unknown. To-day, when polar expeditions are either fitting or on their way northward, it is deeply interesting to glance back three centuries, when the heroest of the days of Elizabeth and James, in mere oockleshells, furnished with imperfect appliances faced, with stout English hearts, the strange terrors of the unknown North. Amongst these fine fellows of the olden time were Sir Thomas Button and Captain Thomas James, of whom it is our intention more par- ticularly to speak. Button came of an old Welsh stock, being a son of Miles Button, of Worl- ton (IJOW Duiiryn), Glamorganshire. lie entered the naval service in 1589. After en- countering various adventures i broad he was knighted, rendered service to the Crown at home, and died in 1634. Two portraits of him are in existence, one (of doubtful authen- ticity) at Cardiff Town-hall. the other in posses- sion of Mr. G. M. Traherne, of Coedriglan. In 1612 Button received a Royal Commission to prosecute the discovery of the North-West Pas- sage, which had been earlier attempted, and in the search for which the immortal Hudson lost his life, left to perish in the* icy solitude by his mutinous crew. The Royal Commissioa makes no doubt of the existence of the passage, and instructs Button, when he has discovered it, to find some convenient haven on "the back part of America," or on some island in the Western Ocean, and then to send his pinnace back homeward through the passage with news of his success. Button sailed about the middle of April, 1612, in two ships, victualled for eighteen months. Though Sir Thomas did not accomplish the purpose of his voyage, he was the first navigator to cross Hudson Bay from east to west and to dis- cover its western shore, which w:M named by him New South Wales. He effected other discoveries, and made some pro- gress towards the identification of the magnetic pole. Though an indifferent scholar, Button was a seaman of great experience, and he passed through his voyage, notwithstanding its perils, without trace of misadventure. Captain Jaanes, the contemporary oif Button, was almost certainly a. Welshman, though the place of his birth is not precisely known: it is, however, practically certain that he came of one of the many branches of a family of James which held property at many places in and around Bristol and in South Wales. He had received an ex- cellent education, but was a very second-rate sailor, and his narrative of his voyage, in the course of which he encountered Button, is full of the most dismal accounts of mishaps of all descriptions — indeed, it has been well described as a book of lamentation and weeping and great mourning," "one con- tinued strain of difficulties and dangers and complainings." There is considerable ground for the belief that the narrative gave Cole- m ridge the initial idea of his "Ancient Mariner," a theory which Mr. Ivor James, of Cardiff College, has touched upon in his pamphlet on the source of that immortal ballad. We must refer readers who desire further particulars of Button, James, Foxe, and the earlier navi- gators. to Mr. Christy's fascinating work, m which, amongst many others, he ackww- ledges assistance rendered by Mr. J. L. Wheat-ley, Mr. Storrie, Mr. Ballinger, and Mr. Ivor James, Cardiff. We re-produce the portrait of Button, which forms the frontispiece to the first of these two fine volumes, which are further enriched with maps and other illustrations.

On Monday evening information was givet at Merthyr Police-station that a woman's bat had been found on the Great Western Railway near Glynderris Pond, and the hat was produced with a note, in a female's handwriting, pinned to it, on which was written :— "Worry has brought me to this. J. W. is the cause of it. So good-bye." Sergeant Walter Lewis and other policemen proceeded to the pond, and saw the marks of a woman's boots at the sides, but, although the water has since been carefully dragged with such appliances as have been available, no body has yet been recovered.

Playing with a Python
Playing with a Python SNAKE CHARMER AT THE CAR- DIFF EMPIRE. The Indian Princess Shows her Strang* Powers and TeUs of Hairbreadth Escapes. "No;, they're just in their wild state, but some are getting used to my handling of them," said Princess Nala Damajanti to one of our repre- sentatives, who had stepped round to the stages at the Empire, Cardiff, after he had seen thatl lady's performance with the snakes on Tuesday-' night. Just thea there was the sound of hissing, immediately followed by a jump and a shriek, the former from a huge python and both the latter from our reporter, who did not show such' supreme contempt for snakes as did the Indian Princess. The lady, by the bye, is a. native of Pondicherry, a. Freneh settlement ta India, and is of French descent. Takiaf the snake which had alarmed the pressman, aht said, in her pretty broken English, "t per- formed with this one. for the first time an M.. day night." "Then it has not been trained at a.ll?" "They are never trained, but come straight to me from the dealers in Hamburg and Ant- werp," answered the Princess; and again she laughed heartily at our reporter's expression of alarm when a couple of heads, from which the forked tongues were protruding, appeared above the top of the box. "Have you ever had a serious aecident with [ them?" queried the reporter. "No, but many narrow escapes. My manager, Mr. Palmer, hae maAY times had to run on the stage, and hasl only just tabea them off my neck in the nick of time. Oh, yes," she added to another remark, "I've travelled aU over the world with snakes. I was with Bar- Bum in the States a long time, and' have fecea touring altogether about eight years." At that moment ltr- Palner, the stalwart manager, came along, and N&la. ran to change her costume and left the reporter with the manager. "How is it done, you ask? Well, it's more the woman than anything else. She seems to have a wonderful mastery over the snakes, aad instead of them fascinating her, she seems to, fascinate them." "And what do they cost?" "That just depends on the market aad the size of the reptile. The dealers get a. couple of hundred over at once, but the price gene- rally paid for the large) ones is between JEW) and jBoO, whilst for the smaller ones I ha.ve paid as little as £10. You only keep the large kind now, I suppose ?" "Yee; only pythons and boa constriefcore. Formerly NaAa worked with saiaJler snake*, of the ring and green kind, but, thmk- ing the big snakes would create more excite- ment, changed." They need a lot. of cam, eff course?" Yes. Just look in this bo& and Mr. Palmer opened a box and began taking out a number of blankets, in each of which was wr«rvn< -3. a <>liakü- Th«ir J.aan;n«rutoti'«i;" ho con tamed, "mu."t always be carefully regu- lated, especially in the winter. Then they are torpid to some extent, but in the warm weather they are exceedingly lively, and, as a conse- quence, muoh more difficult to perform with." How many do you carry ?" "A uoaen." and, picking up a reptile about 16ft. long, remarked, This is a boa, and beautifully marked- Ah, would you!" as the snake opened his jaws, and then the manager dropped him into his blanket. How do you feed them?" Oh. on rabbits aDd fowls. We put them is ateve. and they eat them at their leisure. Sometimes the rabbits and birds crouch in a corner for hours quite hypnotised, and then of a sudden you hear a hiss and a squeal, and all is over." These saakes are not poisonous, are the.y ?" Oh, no; but they have tT-eiaendous crush- ing power, and frequently start to grip Mdlle. Nala. Once one caught- the Princess round the neck, and put on such a tremendous pres- sure that it made her nose bleed. She fell, and, seeing the danger, I rushed acd took i; off." And then the Princess came back, and smiled pleasantly as she caught a fragment of the last statement, and said, Yes; that was the most narrow escape I've had. I've hod lotp of bites, but always cauterise them, and nothing serious has followed. Ah, get dQW11 I" as a python put its head into her hand, and, as it took little notice, Nala quietly lifted it by its neck and put it to bed, as it were, in the blanket. Here Mr. Palmer interposed with the remark that to-morrow the pet., were to have their weekly hot bath, and added, "They want a« much looking after as children." Our reporter then wished the Princess and her manager Good sight," and weet off down the stairs, not, however, without many a glance behind him. The performance is (extremely fascinating". The stage is prettily set with a. square of steel netting and pillars. In the background are a couple of red boxes, and to the weird Indiaa musio played by the orchestra Princess Dwmar janti steps into the enclosure. and at Ollce commences to play with the snakes. Slie allows them to twist and turn themselves about her, and by resting them on the rails forms couch, upon which she reclines. Afterwards she places about half a dozen round her aecfe and so carries them around and drops them into the box. Afterwards a python about 15ft. long, a snake new to the business, and oilly just over from its native heath, is drawn frfm its blanket, and at once expresses its displeasure of the whole proceeding by frequent and pro- longed hissing, and jumps at the Pri»cess, wto. however, nimbly declines its advances, a|id finally pins it in a owner and lifts it by die neck and tail. Princes Nala has a wonderful power over them, and does almost what likes with them. Her eyes glisten even mftre than those of the s-snakeis, and on Moittiay night, it is stated, caused such aAajrm in the minds of one of the stage h&nds—the manafljer, Mr. Donelly—as to start him ringing the fire alarm. But that is only a statement, to which we do not give credence. Our business is with snakes. The audiencc during the whole performance stem to hold their breath, and at Che finish heave a sigh of relief, and reward the plucky and daring ladv with rowsd after round of applause. Without doubt t(ie show is fa** beyond anything yet seen at t'fce Empire, and is well worth a visit. —
