The Poole Tehran slur:—
The other day a working man told me that a local
Conservative, for whom he voted at a comparatively
rioent municipal election, promised to "remember
him," and sald "one good turn deserved another," and
soon. The other day the W.M. a'orepaid 'got a lift"
In the world, and went into business on Lis own
account. Amongst his friendsand patron. he naturally
numbered him who promised "to remember him," so
he slaked him for bls patronage, and the reply was,
"Can't help you, in muse; I always send all my
work to Dorchester. I should sunset that next
time there Is angled:kin, that aspiring Town Ct.' ioncillor
should 'end to Dorchester for his VOWS.
HAPPY is the man who can say "I was born in
Poole, brought up in Poole, I make my money in
Poole, and I spend it in Poole." As I can b ist of
the two last virtues, if ever I should occupy such an
exalted position as that of being a candidate for
municipal honours, my readers can depend upon my
" having • job of wore ready for that voter to execute
as soon as he promises his vote forms; besides, I don't
believe people work half so hard or so well (especially
politically) in Dorchester as we do in Poole.

Tim Consereataves, I hear, are not to have a lite
this year —" it won't run to it," ae they say in Poole;
besides, Wes are expenaire things, if you can't hod
out they do any good to your muse, and I have beard
lota of 'furies say that they do more harm than good.
And so they do—to them.

A monument to the "bid times" is to be seen on
Hain-side just now in the shape of a smart little craft
which Mr. Merano built, could not sell, then launched,
and now has to "haul up" again to wait for •
purchaaer. I believe 'no one ham any mosey," or
that vessel would not have remained long uneold, for,
Ilk. all vessels Mr. lambdas builds, elm is • good,
wall-built, and useful craft.

I did not go to hear the choral service at the pariah
chureh the other day, although I heard that the music
and ringing were worth hearing, but lags magma-
time make me feel nervous, and one " Wanderer" at
• thee is quite sufficient in a church.
There is much used for some of our friends at
Bournemouth to have • few " liberal " principles
instilled into them. The steam-boat companies, I see,
are beginning to find that absurdly low tares are not
so remunerative as those which allow of a dividend
being paid to the shareholders, and there is very little
of the " live and let live" principle of free trading to
be found in some quarter@ even yet. But we look
forward to seeing Sir Drummond made a plenipoten-
tiary at Timbnctoo, or Otabeite. when Mr. Davey will
not only represent the town in Parliament, but expose
despotism and autocracy generally.
"The Wanderer" warn vexed to discover that the
ng six paragraphs were omitted by mistake
Irlitlailt week's number of the Tekgram. He was
"wondering" where they had gone to, and, though
somewhat out of date, he inserts them this week.

I hear with matidaction that • long change has been
recommended to one of our local clergymen, and that,
acting up to the advice of thole deeply interested in
him, be has gone for the change, se advised. Ma
return, I boar, cannot be fixed just at present.

Milton HOW ii to let or rather is let. I hardly
undastand this. but I can understand why we see the
word "To let" in so many windows of empty houses
in Poole—it is a sign of the depression in trade. As
the Tmr party, by its own confession, is too imbecile
to rely this state of affairs, we had better let the
Liberals, who have given proof to the country that they
have governed it, and ma govern it again, get into
power at the next geneial election, and restore us back
to our former thriving date.

I Can't anything be done before the DOW chapel is
finished to make the odious side-wall of the next
hostess • little more presentable. It looks now as if
there had been a fire, and faces everybody going
towards Parkstone from the Post-office Some of the
fund raised at the bazaar (which woe a great gnome,
by the way) might be appropriated for this purpose,
with Mr. Wesley's permission.

Have you ever noticed on your front door, or near
the bell, or on the dour post, a tiny little chalked
mark, sometimes an " 0," sometimes an "X "
Nearly every house in and around Poole barn one. If
the Mendicity Society dot not exist, we should say
that thaw marks were done by " beggars."

So they are, "Impudent beggars," too, who don't
come to be for bread, but to beg that you will buy of
Mr. kfuggins. the commercial traveller, some of the
goods which belonged to the bankrupt stock of Messrs.
Doem and Cheatem, which goods are to be sold "at
any sacrifice," owing to the " enormous depression in
trade." The arrangement is carried out in this
manner A boy goes round the town, leaves Mr.
kfuggins's circular, and marks your house with chalk.
Mr. Muggins, in • few days, seeing his mark upon the
house, call. "for the circular which was left," and
ten to one, if you don't keep your eyes open, you will
have reason to remember him visit.

I view with satisfaction, not only that a paper
piintwi at Bournemouth reports a meeting of the
Poole Liberal Association, but that a local nevropeper
bas a paragraph upon the forthcoming Liberal fete. I
bought up every copy I could of both of them, and
thought of advertising in the Telegram, for more.

I hear that a heavy failure at Dorchester has been
felt rather severely in various quarters in Poole.
Giving long credit and backing bills are so much the
custom in Pools now that the evil results arising
therefrom are looked upon as "pact of the business,"
for which those who can, will, and do pay, are charged,
of course.

Not many days sloth. captain of a large ship, who
had been abroad with his vessel for two years, was
out at night-time in a fog between the Needles and
Portland Ught.housie, and, would you believe it,
although all heads were on the look-out for the
lighthouse on Durleatone Head, not one man could see
It? As there will shortly be two Eddystone light
houses to mark the Bishop's Rock, it Is presumable
that the Trinikr Board do not think a ship would
strike quite 8o hard on Peverill Ledge as she would on
the former rock ; but she would.

I don't altogether like "new brooms "which " sweep
clean " into obecure corners at the fag ends of public
meetings, comspondesoe which the poors' rate payers
are entitled to see reported.
A good tactician, intent upon profiting by his peal
experience, no matter how small that experience might
be, would hardly require to be told that nothing
furnishes better food for the gossips than any public
matter not made as public as the public fancy it should
be; therefore, let na hope for the future that those
thirsty souls for office who swell the Conservative
ranks and who sit in chain, and who don't sit in
chairs, will, when voted in to office, proclaim from the
housetop without few, not only the shortcomings, but
the good deeds, oft' blues" and " yellows" alike.
The usual gigantic consignment from the 00-opera-
tive stores in London, which periodically makes it.
appearance at the Wintborne Railway Station, is now
overdue—possibly delayed is transit—probably, owing
to the depression in trade, not ontered. The conse-
quence is that the Tory grocers and bakers and candle-
stick makers in Poole may shortly expect large orders
(to go into the Christmas account). Wimborne
tradesmen will kindly accept of this, the only intima-
tion, specially received by wire this day from "The
Carltom."

I wonder if anything can be done on Saturday
nights to stop the noisy sons of Bacchus, who are I.
be seen and beard by the dozen parading our principal
strata, swearing, =ONG fighting, and abusing. I
do not make these remarks to cast any slur on the
police, but I will content myself by informing that
bodythat, had I numbered one of its members, I could
have apprehended at least in noisy blackguards, who
were committing breaches of the pane, during the
time that I walked once down the attest.
