Thhi atrangement is likely to nationals, interfere
with the salariell of the rate collectors of Parketone,
Longfiest, and 'Unworthy.

Those "big bWs," a• they are called, although there
Is lota of blue in them and no yellow, have caused no
end of Jealousy amongst the Tories. To exhibit one is
high treason, and the punishment for this is either " a
notice to quit" or a writ. It is not for me to point
out these errors, I ought, as a good Liberal, rather to
encourage them, but as I know the borough is Liberal.
I only oak for " • fair field and no favour," and I
blush to see that coercion is now the order of the day
amongst our Opponents.

A little boy was admiring some of those spedmen•
of heraldry which ornament most of the model cottages
In and around Poole, and asked his "Pa" what
Perro now Gladio meant. The sage parent replied it was
the Latin for that well-known " He shall
rule them with a rod of iron and break them in pieces
like a Bradt's& potter." That little boy has taken a
great interest in his Latin ever since.

The pienic made up exclusively of members of the
Poole aristocracy cams a, although the weather wae
r aything but genial for it, and they "Didn't go home

Picnics ere acknowledged to be most enjoyable
manmade • but testes differ, and some think them
" very slow. So they are undoubtedly to those who
sit up all night playing unlimited 100, and keep good
husbands up till daybreak, and then send them home
with empty pockets; but when you move in "society"
you must do as "society" does; and when you live in
Poole you must do as Poole people do.

A poor horse, probsbly on its way t 3 the knackers,
and smelling very strongly of beer was walked up
the High-street Me other day, bedecked in yellow, and
looking as foolish as the boy who led it, and—
would you believe it ?—the Poole people didn't see the
joke But Poole people are so very dull sometimes.

" The Wanderer" smelt the beer, pitied the "moke,"
end" maw the joke." The hers. was the much-talked-
of " Canford Screw," and the yellow with which he
was bedecked was to represent the ideas which reigned
supreme when the name of Canford was as popular
with the Poole and Wimborne people as the name of
Waring now is. I heard that the poor brute (like
Balsam's ass) spoke before he was shot, and what do
you think he asked for? Why nothing more or less
than • bucketful of " akilly," similar to that served
out to prisoners In Winchester Gaol, after partaking
of which be was shot, and he died, died the death of
• trite Liberal, with his colours 'nailed to the mast."
There wel not much of the "turn-cost" about him,
was there?

I don't blame the Town Gouncil one little bit for
sticking to the paraffin—the light is now very good,
and It saves the ratepayers between one and two
hundred pounds • year, which sum will more than
pay the new collector of the borough rates.

I am sorry to find that to be plain spoken is to
offend some sensitive Conserv&Uve readers of this
paper, who buy it just to see what "Thu Wanderer"
will have the impudence to say next, as they are
pleased to term it. lam very sorry to offend any-
one, but I am delighted to find that the telegram
increases its circulattea weekly, because what I have
"the impudence to say next" is, as it always.was—the
truth—and that is what hurts people.
Of course it is "Impudent" to say that the borough
of Poole Is a Liberal borough, that its "aristocracy"
are eccentric and play unlimited 100, that the Canford
screw is still at work, that the "Almoner," have
wandered towards the cemetery, and are very liberal
with other people's money, and that Liberal cheap
paraffin is better than dear Tory gae—but I must
keep on, and you will always find that the truth is
the order of the day with
