Mr. Christopher James, in his treply to say note of last week, qualifies the ,ark in his address. Be there stated that ke,was in uncompromising advocate of unseettninn to tchiug. In his letter he adds "in board selasolo." He then proceeds to ansoe from the nremi sea of " what is is riFht," by asking " Havoc the School, Board any junediction in the matinsof rel igions teaching in voluntary schools? " Yoh uttary schools ! ' And pray what are voluntary en tools, Mr. James? Are they not school, partly supported by a capitation from the State, omit herefore only voluntary in name? Dentin/Mat boat schools do at present seenve State aid, but that does not prove that it is right that they oh auld do so. I must call Mr. Jamee's attention to another part of his address, where he says— '. Education, if cornpulsory, should he ea city obtained, to be easily obtained it should be free, to be free it ehould be imam orlon ." This is explicit enotigh, but how Mr. James • lan reconoile it with his statement that he ia p re=to advocate the teaching of Homan olio, Church of Ragland, Non, oalformist, or Mohammedan doctrines in schools roteit tog State aid is a matter for Wm, and not for me, to explain. Mr. James should remember that the Nonconformists, from slhom he dren the majority of his votes, are qaite content to look after thereligious instruction of their dltddren without nalbug in the ail of board ',hoot teachers, who may or may sot be religions. and it is only right %hat other religioniota ahead be placed urn the same footing. The advocates of nnsectanan teaching hold tenaciously to the views eannciated by Mr. lames in his addrans, I namely, that State-aided education should be like the taxes which support it, unsectootat.— that is to nay, neither RoasanCatholic, Chunk. of England, Nsnoonfonnist, or Mohammedan. I have the pseetest respect for Mr. James, believing him as I do to be a thoroughly concieatiaas man, but he will pardon me for believing silo that his same of justice, wire he seconded Canon Wilmot:Ca resolution, waseemewhat biased by the rev. omen's seductive eloquence.  .6 .I.X 4  2 5*:,.? 6 48 BJ2, 6 29 8 61' 7 61 7 88 7 32 • 4. 8 10 8 844 9 49 14 9 38,C, 49! 10 1940 26. 10 5561 15 11 40,,. 0 15 Q 62 1 241 2 2 234G6 341! 41 14 4 4 6,16 IS 47, 6 50 6 42) 7 .2 7 321 7 49, 8 18 8 34, 9 3) 9 201 9 4910 3, 10 2916 47! 11 16111 40) 046 122 1 471 2 34 3 111 3 421  A eorrespeadeut in a recent base of the Lrader asked somewhat incredulously wipther seals had ever been seen on the Gower coast? He had been told that such was the ease, but humorously insinuated that the fur-clad manuals had only been seen in the restricted area oft show tank. In thin respect he is wrong; seals di occasionally visit our coasta, and some years ago a really fine specimea was captured at the Swoisea webs, ' and subeequently seat by Sir Hussey Vivian to the British Museum. On another or:melon a dead seal was washed mbar) in Brodalade or Bracelet Bay; and I am also informed that media are quite ! common on the islaml off the PetaLrokeshire coast, where a large lumber of them me killed annually. The specimen captured in Swaim Bay was paid to be a genuine esl, anl not one 0.,f the ba,tard specimens that we find 4. show ',mks throughout the conutry.  32 10 33 11 34 7 .34 2 32 II tl 5 29 6 47 2 24 4j 14 7 24 11 25  A curious point came out in the coarse of the inquest on the young girl .who came by her death somewhat mysteriously in the Clydach Vale this week. The Jury were evibently in pommel:don of lmewledge with whish both the coroner and the counsel engaged in the inquiry were unaequainted, and asked the witnesses a number of very pertinent question. Mr. S. T. Evans, of Neath, objected to this, as the jury were apparently judging the caw from ideas formed suicide the walls of the coroner's court. Mr. Strict, I think, wisely remarked th d this had its advantages as well as disadvantages. They were there to elicit, if possible, the cause of death, aid the jury, from their local know. ledge, were able to suggest questions which might lead to the revelation of facts which would otherwise be withheld. This was noticeable throughout the inquiry, which lewd assisted in clearness by th- answers received to Ste jurors' interrogation.  swArier.s
