HEALTH OF DORCHESTER.

Sir,—A lam on the above subject may intereet your
readers. I had to attend at the Dorchester Cemetery
yesterday in order to read the aenice over a woman
who had died in the Dorset County Hospital, but
whose home was not in this town. I then learnt that
no interment had taken place at this cemetery since
the 15th of July, and that the man I buried on that
day was over 70 years of age. No death in the three
parishes during a period of nearly eight weeks
certainly speaks well for the health of our town, and
the aged (though, perhaps, somewhat unreasonable)
ratepayer who was beard to grumble because " the
cemetery did wit pay" may now understand why
cemeteries in such Itorril4 y healthy localitiot an this
can never become paying concerns. Probably in
Bimini at the Pretwit time, be would had that cono.

In the domain of foreign politics we have intelligence
that the Spaniards continue to work themselves up
into superfinou. indignation against Germany, which
is more patriotic than prudent in them; that the
native Indian press condemns Lord Randolph
Churchill's attack on Lord Ripon, and endursoi the
Indian policy of the latter, which we min readily
believe; and that the garrison of Kameda have not
surrendered, but only made a truce with their
besiegers, which is a statement that require. further
elucidation. In the home political world we have

The new American Minister haa spoken plainly
upon the subject of emigration. labia opinion those
who are intelligent and hardworking can do as well

meet of the Western territories, and there is probably
just now much truth in what Mr. Phelps says as to
the equal chances in life on either side of the
Atlantic. But this only proves the necessity for the
aubstitution of some better system id emigration for
that which now prevails. The one thing needed is the
establishment by Government of a central "ffice for
the dissemination of authentic information about the
state of labour in the colonien.
