Mr. Malden and Leith Hill. —Mr. Malden writing from Kitlands, Holmwood, to the ABinger Monthly Record in reference to a letter in regard to the words "Leith Hill" which the Record recently published, says: I am afraid that I must protest against your correspondent's philology, when he, in defiance of Grimm's and all other philological laws, connects Leith Hill with Leod. There is no room for doubt that Leith is the old English Hlith, meaning a steep brow or slope, like Lythe Hill at Haslemere, and connected remotely with (not derived from) the Latin Clivus. Neither is a place far from the inhabited part of the hundred at all a likely place for the Hundred Moot. This usually met near the centre of habitation, and not necessarily in the open air. It was not a large assembly.

Classes - An exhibition has been held at Kitlands, Coldharbour, under the management of Mrs Malden, of the work done by the fourteen village classes during the past winter. The work of a few private workers connected with the classes was also shewn. The exhibits were specimens of wood-carving of various kinds, brass repoussée work, embossed leather, clay modelling and drawing. The total number of objects shewn was 475, contributed by Coldharbour (three classes), Holmwood, Pixham, Ockley, Capel Leatherhead, Abinger, Sheire,Itchingfield, Redhill, Gatton, and London.
The work was generally of a very high order, the carving from Shiere, leather from Abinger, brass from Kitlands and chip-carving from Leatherhead being specially good.
The grounds of Kitlands were thrown open to exhibitors and their friends by the kindness of Admiral Heath.

Some Notes on the Brighton Volunteer Manoeuvres.
Last year I was able to give the readers of the Surrey Mirror some account of the doings of the Surrey Brigade at Eastbourne. On this occasion, however, I have not gone so far afield, but have followed the fortunes of the compact little force which Col.Althorpe led to the relief of Brighton. - - -The first sign of the British force was a troop of the Middlesex Yeomanry, halting under cover of what turned out to be the only inn in the place. - - -
Col. commanding Col. Althorpe R.E.; Brigade-Major, Major Heath R.E.' Aide-de-Camp, Major Childers R.E. The total force numbered about 1,500 of all arms. - - - and so it came to pass that Colonel Althorpe, his staff and the cavalry were rather mixed up on reaching the crest of the Downs, the small company of infantry accompanying us being 20 yards or so behind. As we topped the hill the first sight which met our eyes was the enemy's cavalry charging full down on us, and had it not been for the presence of mind of the Brigade Major we should probably all have been captured.This officer no sooner saw what was up, than wheeling round his horse, he managed to get the infantry up in time to (theoretically) fire a volley into the flank of the advancing mass.
The umpire decreed that the charge had been unsuccessful, but considered our advance delayed for ten minutes, no very serious matter. - - -
Our work, however, was not yet ended, for the Brighton contingent, after deafening our ears all day with the roar of their guns, proposed to restore them to their normal condition by the aif of a smoking concert in the Pavilion. - - -

Coldharbour.
Coldharbour has indeed had its fill of party politics of late. It has heard some singular speeches. Mr Barnes speaking as the man of business; solid even to being a little heavy in style. Mr Jacob Bright, hard-hitting, unemotional - rather quiet and tired looking withal as if like his great brother he has hardly paid sufficient heed to the safeguarding of full vigorous health. - - - Then again Coldharbour has heard Mr Pennington, whose words something of a patriarchal dignity pervades.
And then Mr Raymond Heath has had his say. He differs from all the rest. To start with he has all the political lightheartedness of youth. Of good presence, fluent of delivery, with an appearance of happy conviction that the Conservatism and this Conservative Government in particular deserve well of the voters, Mr Raymond Heath had no difficulty in making what his friends admiringly declare and his critics half admit to be a rattling speech. So we say Coldharbour has indeed has a small deluge of oratory. The pity of it was that the rival spokesmen had their say on different nights.
Mr H.E. Malden, to whom the duties of the Extension Lecturer and general scholar, have allowed sufficient leisure for the selection of a political creed, and who is understood to rank as a Liberal Unionist, presided over a well attended meeting yesterday week.
On the platform were Mr Raymond Heath M.P., and Mrs Heath, Admiral Sir Leopold Heath, Mr Gordon Scott and Mr Cuthbert Heath. In the body of the meeting sat Mr Hopwood Q.C., the Recorder of Liverpool, quietly smiling as the as the addresses proceeded. Mrs Pennington was by his side. Other Liberals were in the room.
Mr Heath devoted a considerable portion of his speech to arguing that Mr Barnes was very foolish in proposing that all property should be divided up and that no one should have more than £100 a year. If that were to be brought about Mr Barnes would be a great sufferer and so would all business men. Wealth would leave England. The security for capital was that which made England as prosperous as she was.
Mr Heath applied his teaching locally. In Surrey labourers earned more money because people of means came and lived in their midst and employed labour. To take a particular instance, a gentleman near by was farming a home farm which had not paid for twenty years. A tenant farmer without capital would long ago have given up the farm and ceased to employ labour upon it.
From this topic Mr Heath proceeded to urge that a speaker at the Liberal meeting held in that room a few nights before did very wrong in calling the members of the Primrose League a lot of "slavering idiots." As to this, and as to the condemnation of the proposal to divide up all property and to prevent anyone having more than £100 a year, it is only fair to state that our reporter who attended the Liberal meeting from beginning to end heard nothing at all of any argument favouring the dividing of property or the restriction of incomes and heard no such epithet as "slavering idiots" applied to the Primrose League. This paper eschews party politics and would as readily make what it believed to be comment in the case of a Liberal speaker who was criticising some opponent's speech and was under a wrong impression as to what the one criticised had said.
Mr Heath thought the idea that blankets or teas allured members to the Primrose League was very absurd. He mentioned that in the division which returned him were 10,000 voters, 7,000 or 8,000 of these being working men. There were only about half a dozen large houses of country gentlemen in the district. How could those gentlemen intimidate so many. Members joined the League freely, and made contributions to its funds. The League was not guilty of bribery or corruption.
"I never laid stress on the so-called Parnell letters" said Mr Heath, "for I thought Mr Parnell was too clever a man to write such letters, and that if he had written them he would have spelt them properly."
But Mr Heath proceeded to combat Mr Barnes's statements that the Irish party had been aquited on all the principal charges examined by the judges. Many of them had been found guilty of a conspiracy to drive the English garrison out of Ireland. They have received the money of men who openly injured in the commission of crime.
Mr Heath gave particulars of a moonlight outrage, affirming that it was performed by emissaries of the League. All the accusations which responsible members of Parliament made, founded on 'Parnellism and crime' had been amply substantiated.
Mr Heath remarked broadly that the Liberal party, as he believed, would gladly drop the Irish question like a hot potato. When Mr Gladstone died we should hear the last of Home Rule.
As to domestic legislation he claimed their support for the Tories as the men who had given working men the power they possessed in the land. Lately they had displayed their sympathy with the dwellers in counties by passing the County Government Act.
Liberals, Mr Heath was understood to add, never thought of giving local government to the counties. Broadly reviewing Liberal professions and practices he said he was reminded of a tale of an Irish servant who must have whisky to clean her windows with. But her mistress found that there was no whisky mixed with her water. The girls explained that she drank the whisky and breathed on the windows. So Liberals took place and power and breathed their blessings on the people.
Mr Heath's comment on the Compensation question was that in London and in Manchester we have already seen a great number of pubic houses bought up because it was thought best for the public interest that they should be bought. Why should not this practice be further developed. Just now a Tithes Bill was under discussion. He wished something more could be done for the poor payers of tithe. There were 2,000 poor tithe payers in his district, and they might have help given to them towards securing the redemption of their tithe.
Mr Heath touched on various other matters. Mr Goschen's Budget, the Allotments Act, the Coal Mines Regulation Act, and the Merchandise Marks Act. He claimed that Lord Salisbury's foreign policy was successful. This Parliament's record for good work was unparalleled. He trusted Sir Trevor would have a large majority on the next polling day.
The rest of the meeting must be briefly summed up. Mr Cuthbert Heath proposed a vote of confidence in Sir Trevor Lawrence. He was glad to see the back seats well filled that night. The front seats were those that were well filled on the night of the Liberal meeting. Mr Gordon Scott seconded the motion, and it was carried with about half-a-dozen dissentients.
Sir Leopold Heath moved a vote of thanks to the chairman. In doing so he said as a man who had his country's welfare at heart he could not agree to anything which would tend towards separation.
Mr Hopwood Q.C., briefly seconded this vote thus returning the courtesy of Mr Raymond Heath who seconded the vote of thanks to the chairman at the Liberal meeting. Mr Malden responded and the gathering dispersed.

Zanzibar and the Slave Trade
To the Editor of the Standard
Sir. - You may think the accompanying extract from an official letter, written by me in January 1870, when in command of the East Indian Squadron, of sufficient interest to warrant it publication.
At the time no "earth hunger" had arisen in Europe, and probably no objection to carrying out the scheme proposed would have been made by foreign Powers, and it is most interesting to speculate upon what would have been the present condition of Africa had it been adopted.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
L. G. Heath, Admiral. Holmwood, June 21.
H.M.S. Forte, Bombay, January 22, 1870.
I have but to add that a year's further experience has confirmed in me the impression which I have before reported as to the inefficiency of all that England has yet done with the intention of suppressing the East African slave trade.
I believe still, as I believed when I made my last year's report, that the most effectual step which could be taken, as also the most economical, would be to purchase the sovereignty of the island of Zanzibar, where there are already three or four thousand Banyans and Hindis, being the most industrious and well-to-do portion of the population, all owing allegiance to the British Crown, and all under the jurisdiction of the British Consul. The Sultan has built a palace at Darra Salam, possibly with the notion that sooner or later he will have to retire to his dominions on the mainland.
I have the honour,&c. &c.
L.G. Heath, Commodore.

Mr Chatterton has a way of his own which many political speakers would be glad to be able to imitate in logically dealing with a subject and making it amusing, instructive, and at the same time readily understood. Upon no subject has he addressed an audience without making a most favourable impression as to his superior ability to represent all classes of the community in Parliament, - - - That he is on the right track, as people who are not blindfolded see it, was shown on Monday night when he was speaking at Linley Wood. - -

The seat of the Misses Marsh-Caldwell (Linley Hall), was on Monday the scene of a festive gathering of the Coal and Ironworkers Habitation of the Primrose League.
Given a fine day it would be almost impossible to choose a sight more suited to hold an al fresco gathering. The grounds command a fine and extensive view of the beautiful vales of Cheshire and the sloping uplands of Staffordshire, whilst the gardens are picturesque in the extreme and the air around them is laden with the perfume of roses and summer flowers. The lawns too are well kept and admirably adapted for the purpose to which they were put yesterday by those who delighted in dancing to the strains of the Talke St. Martin's Mission Band conducted by Mr T Sadler. A capital tea was provided by Mrs Jones, and afterwards a meeting was held over which Mr John Loring presided.
Amongst those present were the Misses Marsh-Caldwell, Mr J.R. and Mrs Crimes, Mr and Mrs M. Turner, Mr and Miss Storey, Mr James Heath, Mr Gater, Misses Poole, Miss Shaw, Mr, Mrs and Miss Chew, Mr M.G. Gambier, Rev. W. McHutchin, Mrs Price, Rev. W.S. Hutchinson, Mr Coroner Booth, Mrs Caulton, Mrs R. Colclough, Rev. Mr Litchfield, Mr F.C. Mayer and Mr Joel Evans -
Mr Chatterton (The Conservative candidate for the Crewe Division), in an exhaustive address, contrasted the principles of Toryism with those of the Liberal party; and remarked that they were the same now as they were a hundred years ago. They had proved to be true for centuries and were the principles enumerated by William Pitt. They believed in the maintenance of the Established Church, the upholding of a Monarchial system of government, a territorial constitution, the rights of property, and the rights of labour.
Mr Chatterton also referred to the Irish question; to the House of Lords - an assembly which he described as absolutely necessary for the maintenance of our liberties; to jury-jacking in Ireland; and to the question of compensation - The assembly was also addressed by Mr Alfred (Murwin?) of London, in an able speech, the theme of his observations being the integrity of the Empire with special reference to the Colonies.
Mr (Commer?) Booth proposed, and Mr (Cascons?) seconded a resolution that was unanimously carried, that Miss Marsh-Caldwell, for the eminent service she had rendered to the Primrose League should be recommended to the Grand Council for distinctive favours.
The usual voice of thanks terminated the proceedings, and the remainder of the evening was given to enjoyment in various ways. The rulling councillor of the Habitation is Miss Marsh-Caldwell (Louisa) and the hon. secretary is Miss G.A. Marsh-Caldwell (Georgina).

The Primrose League - Lady Speakers.
At Linley Wood, near Talke, on Monday, there was a pleasant and successful gathering in connection with the coal and ironworkers of the Primrose League.
Linley Wood is the delightful residence of the Misses Marsh-Caldwell, whose name have for a long time been associated with many good movements in the district. In a district where such places as Clough Hall and Linley Wood are almost framed with colliery and ironworks, people not knowing the locality well might conclude that nature's beauty of scenery would be obliterated. It is sometimes said that Liberals are behind our Conservative friends in the matter of festivity, and hold to the serious and responsible in political matters.
On the other hand, if Liberals can conjoin dinner with a political speech, or a tea nicely, and entertainment with party demonstration, they are delighted. The Primrose League dames are au fait at the latter business. Perhaps if there is no very strong feeling about politics on the Conservative side by working-men, such as those associated with the Coal and Ironworkers' Habitation, tea, brass bands, flowers, dancing, athletic sports, &c., have a seductive influence.
Some time back there was twitting about the style of "politics by pic-nics;" but there is no doubt as to their success. What appears just now to be the great want in connection with such gatherings is lady speakers. They are all right as ruling councillors, &c.,but "break down" over speech making.
At this meeting at Linley Wood the chief speakers were Mr Chatterton (Conservative candidate for the Crewe Division), and Mr Alfred Morris (of London). There was silence among the ladies. Mr Coroner Booth does not appear to think it will be necessary just yet to hold an inquest on that now healthy body - the Primrose League - for he proposed that Miss Marsh-Caldwell should be recommended to the Grand Council for distinctive favours on account of the eminent services she has rendered to the Primrose League. This was unanimously carried, and the remainder of the evening was devoted to enjoyment in various ways.

School Treat and Sale of Work - On Friday the Misses Marsh-Caldwell, as has been their custom for thirty years past with but two exceptions, invited the Sunday School children and the officials connected with the Talke National, Butt Lane National and the St.Martin's Mission Schools to tea at Linley Hall. At the same time the farm and cottage tenants were entertained. The children numbered over 600. Thirty years ago, when the rector entered upon his duties in the district there was no Sunday school, and the first time the scholars were entered by Misses Marsh-Caldwell only about 50 partook of the hospitality.
The number of tenants and scholars assembled on Friday exceeded 1300. Mr Sherratt of Talke Pits, catered for tea in a satisfactory manner, after which the children heartily enjoyed various games, and later the St.Martin's Mission Band played for dancing. A tent was erected upon the lawn, and a sale of work was held in aid of the funds of the new schools at Butt Lane. A choice assortment or useful and ornamental articles was offered for sale by Miss McHutchin, the Misses Eden, Mrs Booth, and Miss Chew. Miss Daisy McHutchin presided at the flower stall. The day closed with cheers and good wishes to the Misses Marsh-Caldwell.

Mr Chaldecott supported the claim of Mr C.E.Heath, son of Admiral Sir Leopold Heath, who claimed as the joint occupier of stables at Anstie Grange, Holmwood. - Mr Keen objected, remarking that Mr Heath lived at home with his father, and merely had the use of stables. Surely, if he wished to have a vote, arrangements might be made by which he might have a tenement. - Mr Chaldecott stated that the horses belonged to Mr Heath. In reply to Mr Alloway (the assistant-overseer) as to whether Mr Heath paid rent to his father, Mr Chaldecott stated that he knew nothing beyond that he occupied the stables jointly. - The Revising-Barrister allowed the claim.

Mr Chaldecott stated that the horses there belonged to Mr Heath, and he was joint occupier of the stable, and therefore was entitled to a vote. - The claim was allowed.

- - Nearly forty years ago John Pavings, a village lad, went "into service," in the neighbourhood of Bedford. In time he entered the house of Sir Leopold Heath, and afterwards he was with Sir Gilbert Scott. Latterly he was the valued servant of Mr D. Heath of Coldharbour. Having a generous heart Mr Pavings was happy in possessing some means of following his inclinations. Sir Gilbert Scott (who made a friend of his faithful servant and took him with him in continental travelling) at his death left Mr Pavings a handsome money gift. Many of the large number of relatives and friends received kindly gifts from the one who had himself thus been the recipient of his master's kindness.
Mr Pavings died at Kitlands on December 3rd, after a few hours illness. Every mark of respect was shown. A large number of fellow servants and friends followed the coffin to the lodge gates. - - -

Dorking - About Local People
Our Bachelors' Ball has rolled off. Truth to tell we're not much in love with these classy affairs with their amiable suggestiveness that after all there are "gentle" and "simple" and that if our county families do discharge sundry benevolences at our heads and hearts, they discharge them at rather long range, and with an understanding that the distance shall be strictly observed! A lot of nonsense, we suspect, is fostered in immature brains by an exclusive invitation ball in a public meeting place.
If anyone felt snubbed the sunbbees may like to know that the dancers nearly had to sing for their supper, it came from Brighton! Why not try the town ye bachelors? We've no right to ask it, but it would have been a gracious complement such as should have flowed forth naturally from the "gentle" - fons et origo of graciousness and noblesse. Well you tried Brighton, and nearly went hungry home. The last supper load arrived about 12, just in the nick of time. - - - Here are some who were present - - - Captain and Mrs Heath and Mr C.Heath (Anstie Grange, Holmwood), Colonel and Mrs Helsham-Jones (Holmwood),
