or east bank Of the Hondhu, about six miles
from Llanfhangel. It's history was narrated
on the spot by Mr.. E. Roberts, f. S. A. The
ruins are carefully preserved, albeit some
portions of them are desecrated in the eyes
Of srcheologists by being utilized. b. o.,
the most substantial portion of the ruins
the west end with its double towers-is used
for an inn, the utmost resources of which
were called into exercise by the demands of
the travellers. Another portion is used as
carthouse. AS to the history of the priory of
Llspthony, it is said (though the authority is
doubted), that St. David built a cell here in
500, which fell to ruins; but in the reign of
William Rufus a kinsman of Hugh de Laci,
Laci, and Ernest, chaplain to Queen Maud,
finished chapel on the same site in 1105;
and that subsequently, the foundation of
o grand monastery of Black Canons of the
order of st. Augustine was laid and the
structure completed about 1120. The church
was styled Llandewiant Houdeni, the Church
of David, on the river Hondhu, or black
water-henoe Llanthony. The privations
which the monks had to undergo In this Sc
cluded position, shut out from the world, led
to daughter church being formed at Glou-
cester, and the result was that this magnif.
cent monastic establishment was founded,
built, endowed, fourishing, and deserted
within period of thirty years. At the COM
mencement of the present century the place
was almost inaccessible for want of roads.
The road to Llanthony at present stops there,
all beyond being narrow lanes The new
monastery which is about to be built by
Father Ignatius is fo6r or five miles further
up the valley, in an even more remote district
than the ruined abbey.

ARCHAEOLOGY IN ENGLAND-THE HOME OF WAL
TER SAVAGE LANDoR.
This month the British Archaeological So
ciety is taking peculiarly interesting excur-
sion. The members met at Hereford on the
Sth instant, and the next day took trip to
Llanthony Abbey. A large party left the
Great Western Railway for Llasfhangel, a
station on the Newport, Abergavenny and
Hereford Railway, distance about fifteen
miles from Hereford and about four from
Abergavenny. Here coaches from Aberga-
Venny were waiting their arrival, and the rest
of the journey (six miles, was performed by
road. The scenery throughout the jurney was
very beautiful, and its beauty was enhanced
by CLEANS of sunshine and shadows of passing
clouds which occasionally touched the noun
tain tops.
Approaching Llanfhangel, the Holy Noun
tain has a singular appearance. 1t Is conf

from the main body-the effect of landslip,

1856 feet high. The summit commands views
of great extent and magniicenoe, overlook
ing ranges of mountains on the nsrth and
west, and extending to the Malvern hills en-
the east. There is good road from Liam
fhangel to Lianthony Abbey, for the
greater part of which the public and
tourists are indebted to the late Wal
ter Savage Landor, who was the owner
of Llanthony and the manor pertaining
thereto, and to whose family it still belongs.
The road winds all the way up the romantic
little valley of the Hondhu, a small mountain
stream, whose crystal waters are rarely soiled
with dirt, even in wet weather. mile or
two from Llanfhangel a singular cave or
recess in the hills is called the Yoke, and
Cwmyvy Church and village of two or three
houses, on the east slope of the hills, form a
beautiful picture. Indeed, the views all up

The "Third Party" IL Misnomcr.

We notice that tssome OF the State papers
are falling into the habit OF styling the new
Citizens party, now forming throughout
South Carolina, the ''Third" Party. The
phrase, we presume, is meant to convey the
idea that the new political organization is
wholly distinct from either OF the parties
which have hitherto struggled for the as
terry in our State elections. But the term
seems to US little unfortunate, inasmuch as
it may be understood to imply the existence
at this time OF three parties in South Caro-
lima. The fact is, that all well disposed peo-
pie who have anything at stake in the future
of the State see the necessity OF rubbing
out old party lines altogether within her bor-
ders. Henceforward in State affairs there
will be but two parties among us:-the par
ty of honest and capable government, low
taxation and general reform; and on the
other hand, Ring Of corrupt officials, with
all whom they can bribe, bully or delude
ntosupporting them. and who will be bana-
ed together under the banner OF Radicalism,
Robbery and Ruin. There is to be no
"Third" party.
