FOOTPATH BETWEEN WEYMOUTH AND
RADI POLE

It has been • so Jett of regret to many persons who
have enjoyed • quiet munter along the railway to lind the
footpath blocked up between the signal p eta and the
bridge in Itolipot. lane. For many years past there hay
been • reo•miee I foot-path along the Backwoter, and the
railway authorines. in-toad of fencing off the foot-path
from their line, carried • fence from the signal posts to the
water's edge, thus blocking up the original path and
opening (or at least sanctioning he we of) a new foot-
Path along their embankment This path has now been
eluded, and the pudic have thus been deprived of both
paths. It seems, however, only fair that if the new pith
along the emleinktrient in cloeel up the old one should be
re-opened. It ie hoped, therefore, that some oue in
authority will risque** the railway offici•ls either to re-
open the path along the embankment (which would be
the better plan), ur, if not, call upon them to remove the
obstructon near the 114...1 posts alit it icebe the wh°le

ASTOUNDING DISCOVERY I

The public will be prepared to hear that the charge
brought against Mr. Drat, M.P., is an abominable
attempt at extortion, but they could scarcely have antici•
posed that the whole conspiracy would have been blown
to the winds before the next examination in a police
court. We are, however, enabled to state that an
examination of the worthless woman has been made by
three surgeons, t woof them eminent in obstetric practice,
and that the result has been to satisfy them completely
that the woman neve> had a child ! It is not so
surprising that a discharged servant should trump up
a case of this sort as that two wretches should be
found ready to go into the witness-box to swear to an
occurrence that never happened. We believe it is
determined by Mr. Drax at once to in,titute proceed-
ings for perjury and conspiracy against the whole of
the parties to this atrocious plot.

An interesting and instructive lecture was delivered
on Thursday evening het, on 'Cyprus," at the Royal
Hotel Aseembly.rooma. There was a very larje

lectors was illustrated by excellent views of different
places of interest In the

INSPIOTION OF MI 4TH corps was
inspected on 'friday evening by Lieut -Colonel
I Steward, commanding the battalion, who was &mom.
Nulled by the Adjutant, Captain Harmer. The
, company mustered at headquarters in capital strength,
under Captain Stone, with Lieut. Budge and Second.
Idiot. Harrison, there being present four sergeants,
' one bonier, 54 rank and file, and fife and drum band,
under Mr. E. S. Shave, making the total strength 75.
The men having been inspected by the officers, the
corps was marched to the paddock at the rear of Lieut.
Badge's residence, where the Colonel was received
with a general salute. The Adjutant then drilled the
company for over an hour in wheeling and in practising
the new system of attack. The men were minutely
inspected by the Colonel, who thanked them for their
good attendance, and said he had not noticed a single
strap or buckle out of place. He expressed his regret
thst the Government had felt obliged to limit the
attendance of the battalion at the forthcoming camp
at Aldershot in 400, when he could have taken the
bulk of each corps if perminion had been granted. He
then impressed on those present the advisability vf
attending every drill possible before the camp, and
announced that the battalion would assemble on the
sth of July for eight days' drill with the regulars at
Aldershot The corps then marched through the
principal streets of the town to headquarters, where
the men were dismissed. We understand that the
Poole Corps will only be allowed to send 45 of all
ranks to Aidenhot.

HER MAJESTY'S BUST.

Ten thousand pities would it be to transform any-
thing in honour of Her Most Gracious Majesty into
what might be likened to that most unacceptable of
Mini—" • white elephant." Yet we fear that exuberant
loyalty is somewhat in danger of having accomplished
this anti-climax, and that in the loyal borough of
Dorchester. The Conservative and mucheeteemed
M.P. for the county town, Mr. W. E. Brytner,
in the overdosing of his liberality combined
with loyalty, preterit& a white marble bust
of the reigning Sovereign to the Town Council.
After being duly admired by the meuibers,
as in duty hound, and also by an archmilogical asso-
ciation, who, however, would have been more in-
terested in a bust of Helen, the treasured marble
became a subject of responsibility, and was relegated
for sale keeping to • closet, alongside the marble
pedestal on which it era■ to have stood, and the great
question, "What will they do with it Y' had to be
referred to • committee. A niche in the Temple of
Fame was of course due to Victoria Felix, and in the
centre of the platform at the Town Hall, just behind
all the speakers, the committee recommended a recess to
be cut. But, dreadful to relate, it was found that just
where the niche—at the back of the speakers —was to
be made, were the chimneys of adjoining premises.
Mr. Alderman Galpin advised that the bust remain in
the Council Chamber to "overawe"—we are not
certain whom. But the Sovereign and Imperial
"counterfeit presentment" would be rather in the way
on the Council table, and ..f course liwould be dread-
ful to use Her Majesty as a inlet-weight for the mites
in one of these cradles .if or liberties, the Municipal
Council—lmperialism could hardly have a deeper fall.
Still more horrible w..uld it be, after the sculptor has
exercised both talent and originality in depicting
youthful charms which are unusual in a Great-
Crisefinother, to put the royal bunt up the flue. With
the chocking dilemma impaling the Dorchester Town
Council, we reonnniend them to i;et Mr. Brymer to
consult with the would-be munificent donor to the
Idueentn.in.Future, and arrange for • prominent
position for the royal and youthful bust on that by-
and-by-to-be beautiful edifice, the pride of the County
Town.

GUTTING • CHUSCH.—A correspondent writes :--" A
very unusual scene has just been witnered in the
' village of Shapwick, Dorsetshire. The parish chum
has long been out of repair, and steps have been in
fur some time to raise funds to restore it,
aoatcTlMl
difficulty has been experienced in getting sufficient
money for the purpose. With a view of partially
surmounting the financial obstacle it was proposed and
that the unskilled labour in connection with
agreed
restoration should be done by the able-bodied men
of the parish. Consequently on Whit-Tuesday
evening all the Shapwick men, under the leadership of
the vicar and the superintendence of the architec
assembled to perform their part, and they worked
with such eagerness that at dusk everything had been
done to prepare the building for the in-coming of the
restorers---all traces of gallery and pews had been
destroyed, the flooring and paving stones carried out,
and the whole edifice reduced to a skeleton-like
condition. The act has not only saved a considerable
sum of money, but has made manifest the good-will
in and unanimity which prevail the parish.'

WAIFS FROM TILE ROCK.

The young man who, a short time ago, was ton
proud to walk in the street, but chose the roofs of the
houses for his pessage, has recently indulged in a leap
over the cliff from KiHicks Hill, of course alighting
the wrong side up. An exalted positions clo not agree
with him, and if he wishes a long life, we would
strongly urge the desirability of his never going higher
than the find storey of his house.

Traflicing. A word only whispered,*and uttered with
a shudder, strikinF like the death knell upon every
officer in the establishment. But in ',lite of the severe
penalty which attache., to this crime, he became a
victim, and are his probation had expired, he is
expelled from Her Majesty's Service. A wife and
family have, innocently, to share his punts' hnu,nt.

some people ask no questions ; \Vhy ? Is it for
conscience sake ? I know not. lam inclined to think
they are altogether void of corucience. Were a young
lady to meet me, and request my acceptance of her
umbrella and other article., which elle abeolutely
needed, with a remark that she should not require them
any longer, I should certainly have doubts of her
sanity.

The amateurs of the Iloscowen, and the
Warrior miwitrels, cater right well for their friends'
pleasure. It now only remains for the noble contin-
gent which represented Portland at the late choral
festival at Salisbury, to repeat the programme for the
benefit of those who had to remain at home. Our
local charities need additions to their funds.

During the Whitsuntide holidays there las been
plenty of grumbling at the continued had weather.
But whet weather would suit these grumblers?
Accounts from the opposite side of the globe teU us of
a seven months' drought, cisterns exhausted, water
carted 30 miles, and then hardly fit to drink, intense
heat, birds drop from the air dead, and the land
perched up. We sympathise with the sufferers; but
would this weather suit the English grumblers ?
