OFFICER'S ROMANTIC CAREER.

One of those pioneer Englishmen who have blized the trail of Britain's might across the five Continents has just passed away in the person of Cap- tain-Edward-Bishop at -Pew-y-Rock Weston, Bath. He had lived a life of Adventure such as "boys dream of, facing death in many climes, and Sxperiencing adventures such as have befallen to fey mea of his generation. Born at Llandovery, he was intended by his parents for the Army, but, yield- ing to the fascination of the sea, young Bishop took his destiny into his own hands, and, nearly 70 years ago, went on his firs: voyage in a full rigged 600 pon ship to Australia.

While in Zanzibar he was often called upon to: officiate at the marriage of the natives working under him in the plantations and he once told the late Bishop Hughes that he had married more! couples in a day than the bishop had done in a year.
