" SWANAOI IS NOT ALL TIN WORLD. .—We know it.
And nobody needs to be informed; If they de we
hereby tell them—that there is not so s inch to be told
about it as about the other parte of thi world. You
shall reed a thousand columns of the us eel reesPilele-
lion of events in the various neighbourl weds, and not
one line shall even mention that such • Oboe ea ewe
has an existence. We are nearly more I hat this poor
little article will be the only one writt en upon this
subject in any other paper in the large world—save
perhaps the Dorset Cattily Impress. Boi such by way

dog, gun, armorial bearings, aervant-man, and so on
for ever and call the total in round numb Gra £1.4430.
If we were compelled to pay fourteen hand red Pounds
a year in taxes we should grumble and , "my them!
thankful enough that we could, and ca we. Lord

Poo' RATI £880.—" Hs that giveth to the Poor
lendeth to the Lord." We have read that sae nowhere,
so that we have Dearly £7OO out at compound intereet
But we find that the deserving poor have end fered by
wholesale, and smothered curses have been ti Temuren
for those who should be our almoners. At t he seine
time we gladly chronicle that some rogues ha Ye been
stopped who have long peeyed in the name of Poverty
—a light enough punishment to tempt a few I flare to
go on with the thence of someday a terrible fright
and • like fate. Lunacy CUMIN under the Is lading.
Since 1859, when mad folk were one in five h undred
and thirty four persona, this disease is mid a have
so incremed that we have one lunatic to three hi mdred
and sixty-nine. Web, if they are made die r the
faahion that Martha Beet, the believer in wi Wilms
wee spirited away to the Dorcheeter Asylum, is e can
understand the increase without being startled. We
think on the whole it would have been wise a f the
guardians to have given us the opportunity of •
that she was sent back adi harmless to Wars
Workhouse. They are not so wine.

The LB. obtained • n.eagre victory after imesil •

the result following more directly from the Ing

The victory was deserved as it served in some masque
to cover a defeat sustained by the LB. in May, when
the Local Government Board refused to sanction the.
new bye-laws which were petitioned against by bathers
and ratepayers, canvassed by the chief delinquent
among the machinists. Ever mince May there has
been a grim determination to overcome that disaster
by the output of a deal of valuable time and energy,
In framing new bye-laws, to be henceforward
sanctioned by the L.G.B. The result may be
mentioned in 1878. Meanwhile the antagonists on
the beach have united their forces, and Messrs. White
and Clarke await calmly the nod.
