NOTES.
When are our Dorchester Sunday Schools to organise
some commemoration of the centenary of Hobert
Itaikes ? Poole, Bridport, Weymouth, and other
towns are alive. Is it that in five-church Dorchwrer
the Dissenters are waiting tor the Church people?
Or is it that the Episcopalians, with modesty
commendable in some things, are offering the first
place to their brethren? Na?, rather, in such
a cause let them be heartily united, or if that can
nevieebo je at least let them provoke each other to love
and works. The petitioners against the Marquis
of pon should have been Positivists, and instead of
Imitating the old command—" Thou shalt not," have
been forward to commemorate the good d .ins f a
man who set to work. For such an one there is room
enough in Dorchester, even now, with all the ortho-
doxy of Durnpte-street.

My last scrap of faith in the profitableness of last
season is gone. Even cabbages and vegetable min-rows
could not tempt me to wish for a farm in a wet cold
season unless sixpence in the E were a proper and
handsome dividend for creditors. Sixpence in the El
that was all which came out of the cabbage-and-gourd
farming, at I)orchester, and.the creditors seem to have
cheerfully acquiesced. Verily brotherly kindness is
great; but I couldn't be schooled into a joyful
admiration of such results.

Arrangements appear to have been made at the
South• Western station, Dorchester, that the wind shall
not blow, said that the rain, even if it raineth every
day, shall always rain straight down. Else, what is
the meaning of the narrow roof and open sides of the
passage that conducts you to the station for Came-
road? The South-Western improvers, before they
accomplish much there for the public good, will have
to try and try again. Before the station is really a
good one, they must give up patchwork, and make
a thorough change.

that in Weymouth or in the close neighbourhood some
more extensive grounds canhot be had for the
asking, in order to make a p 'pular fde of the agar, as
at Sherborne, Bath. Trowbridge, and other places.
, As it is, however, the commith c will make the most of
the limited space at their di.po-al in the gardens, and
make the show as successful as it is in their power to
do. Mr. Thiselton, however is still chanting his old
i
war cry, more funds, and it s hoped the Weymouth
people will not be behini-hand in aiding the
committee and secretary to carry out their task with
complete success. The borough members have sub-
scribed liberally, and thoee who are not borough
members have done the same, hut the sinews of—not
war but flower shows—are still wanted. We have
authority to state that the fine band of the Pompadours
at Portland and the Italian Sand will supply the
needful music on the occasion.

St. Mary's parish was about the first in Weymouth
to think of celebrating the centenary of the establish-
ment of Sunday echo is. The Bishop of the Diocese
has announced a large gathering of Sunday school
teachers for the dlice.e in the cathedral city, which
no doubt will be I,r4ely attended; but it had been
hoped that some attempt would have been made to
celebrate such a grand institution by some kind of
united service in %''ryn. ,uth. The good peopla of
Port Lad are before ni in thd. mattlr. The Noncon-
formists have met and have decided not only on hav-
ing united services of their own, but even invited the
schools of the Church of England to join them. This
is as it shout I be.

One would imagine that the summer of 'BO was
destined to he a repetition of the miserable one of
1879. It is true there has not been the excessive rain
experienced last year—in fact, those most interest d
in the matter say they could do with more, but there
has been really no summer weather, speaking of
summer in the old-fashioned sense. Here we are close
on Midsummer's Day, and the nights, and sometimes
the days, too, are as chilly am in March. It is, how-
ever, no good to grumble gr iwl, there is only the
cor.solsti..n left to say it. is not our fault. Never fear
but warm weather will come soon, cud the sooner the
better, for the people on the Front especially are
beginning to pull long faces.

Now that we know for certain that the Italian
Band is coming, it is for those benefitted thereby to
come forward, at least those who have not already
done so (for some gentlemen have subscribed most
liberally) and relieve Mr. Wheeler and the rest of the
committee , 4 the heavy responsibility they incur in
engaging the baud with a large prupurtion of the funds
in prospective.

MIL FLOYER, M.P., ON LUNATIC ASYLUMS.

In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, on the above
subject, Mr. Fioyer said the hon. gentleman who intro-
duced the subject had divided it iut two heeds—one, as to
the incidences of the charge; the other, as to the manage-
ment oil administration of the say luma The hon.
gentbmion spoke of the incidences of the charge as •
matte- ,rf Imperial obligation, and in that vicar he was to
acme ext.nt inclined to agree. There woe nothinq In the
nature of the charge which would make it proper to call
upon any particular class of persons in the country more
than another to bear it. By the 43rd Actor Elisabeth every
person who had ability to assist his unfortunate fellow-
subj cte was bound out of that ability to assist them.
Lunette were no exception to the rule; and if it could be
arranged all persons ought to contribute in some way to
the relief of all the poor, and especially of the lunatic
Poor. Se far be agreed it was a universal obligation; and
then cause the question—How could it be enforced f The
mover said that the whole charge ought to be removed to
th 3 taxation of the country, and if it were, the bead of the
Lard Government Board said the adro;nistration must be
tianaferred to the Imperial Government, and the local
authorities must be superseded. For one, he was not
prepared to say that be could give up all local adminis-
tration, he would rather relieve local taxation by further
substance from the Imperial funds, and he thought that
would be a safer mode of meeting any claim which the
ratepayer had. There could be no doubt that the claims
of ratepayers, and especially of agricultural ratepayers,
were very urgent at this moment and could not be over-
laoked. (Hear, hear.) The agricultural part of the c,m-
munity had to carry on their business under the most
tryint; circumstances. They were in cdnpetition with
the whole world, and in many parts from which produce
w is brought competitors were free from the burdens and
,lifficulties our own agriculturists had to contend with.
Therefore, they had a strong claim for any relief that
could possibly be given ; but he was not prepare d on that
account to give up the ustem of local management, which
he believed was in many temects the best for these in-
stitutions. It was best to preserve the local management
and ti relieve the toes] rates by grants from Imperial
source,. As te the people • little above the labouring
claw., who from look of means could not be sent to
private aeylutue, no doubt the admiassion of such pars ne
into county pauper asylums was in itself an evil; but, as
hsd been p dated out, there were advantages In county
ise Aims which were not enjoyed by the inmates of private
asylums. The authorities of county asylums had no in-
ducement to keep patienta longer than a as necessary, but
the owner of a private ligons d house had a strong in-
ducement to keep patients In his house mime a• he could
do so .ith propriety. In the case of the superintendent
of the public asylum his credit depended upon the
f.umlier of persons who were discharged as cured. In the
lireneed house the inspection was necessarily rather
limited: but the county asylum was inspected by the
C immiseloners of Lonacy and by the visitors appointed
toy the Court of Qouter Sessions. But the admimion of
wersons above the pauper Chill Into the county asylums
v. 5,0 evil, if they were paid for out of the rates, because
tot pauperised them: and the object aimed at was to
remove that evil. In his county they had endeavoured
t • moet that difficulty. When the new asylum wee built
£2.000 was subecribed to meet the cost of 20 beds
to be occupied by patient" of this class. In the course
of A few years the county population of 200.200
prod,ced 23 or 24 patients of the class of small farmers
ant ab•ipkeepers, who were unable to Rey the charges of
the private asylums. The provision thus made had been
found to be • very great ho in, and the number of patients
of that chug had fluctuated but little, so that the accone•
modation had proved to be sufficiect. In this way the
difficulty had been surmounted with beneficbal effect'. It
might be apprehended that the large number of applica-
tions on behalf of persons obeve the pauper class might
treucb on the accommodation for the pauper clue, for
whom the asylums were originally built: but as they
would be kept with the pauper patients, and no great
Inference would be made in their favour, except perhspe
jo tieing allowed to wear their own clothes and having
some variety of diet, the friends of such pets ins would
net vied them there it they could possibly provide funds
to send them to a licensed bowie. Upon the whole
question he certainly aos not prepared to support the
proposition of the hou. gentleman who mado the motion.
The question had very justly occupied the attention of the
Melte ; but be did not know whether the bon. member
would think it necessary to press it to a division. He
thought the ratepayers had • claim to some relief, though
be should be sorry to see it accompanied by so large an
alteration in the system of local mintinistratien, which,
with respect to lunatics, prisons, and other matters, was
less expensive and more efficient than • system carried on
under the Immediate direction of Government. (Hear,
hear.)

READING-ROOK AND LIBRARY.
To the ldtior.

Sir,—We want to get • reading population, then we may
expect a thinking, redacting people. To this end I would
suggest the formation for the town of • reading-room and
library, under the Free Libraries Act, thereby putting in
the reach of all the means to acquire knowledge combined
with pleasure. Other towns are adopting the Act, and we,
sac town, ought not to lag behini. I hope these few lines
will bring out someone more qualified to deal with and
take up the matter to • successful issue and termination
than myself, as the testimony of parti-s who live in towns
where the Act has been adopted is highly satisfactory. It
would be a boon to the thousands of Weymouth.—Yours,
aa. ,

circumstance bass occurred wit ,in the past week which
will teed to throw a still greater stuinbling.block
in the way of amalgamation of the various Sunday

by the Rev. J. A. Lawson, rector of St. James's
Church, from our new M.P.,stating he will defray the
entire .ost of a tea to the children on the , 'entenary
celebration. Why send such an invitation to the
sector when the children attending the parish schools
are but a portion compared with those of other places
of worship? I think the Nlayur of the town IS the
proper person to receive such a notification when
pen.ons of all chasers are interested • but our chief
magistrate is a Liberal, an I
d herein, presume, lies
the whole secret. I hear that the teachers of the
largest Sunday school in the town are unanimous not
to accept of Mr. Schreiber's offer, preferring to defray
the small expense which will be incurred out of their
own funds, and no doubt I shall hear of several
instances to i the same effect during the next few days.

Within the past fortnight catches of mackerel
amounting to several hundred pounds have been
landed upon Poole Quay, and I could wi,h that sums
of money coming in all at once like tie could pertly
be appropriated by the fishermen of Poole towards the
building and fitting-out better chow boats of larger
dimensions,with which they would be the better a,,le
to
compete with their opponents hailing from Ports-
mouth, Dartmouth, and Weymouth. I believe that
if our fishermen only exercised a little more judgment,
and learned to cultivate habits more conducing to
thrift, they might, in a very short time, cocci ter it an
insult to be called "the poor fishermen of Poole."

The public will note wi h pleasure that in • short
time they will be able to walk about the streets with
a more confident step, as the Town Council will con-
eider at their next meeting, the desirability of framing
bye-laws I.r the regulation of bicycle driving. I have
nothing to complain f on this Sc ire myself, but the
complaints made by our Mayor at the close of the
Petty Sessions last week, and those which reach me
from all quarters, show that something must be done
for the better i.rotection of the public against reckless
driving. There can be no doubt, but the members of
the local club will heartily approve of these regulations
provided they de not go too far, and I hope our local
Parliament, in their endeavours to remedy • grievance,
will not allow themselves to go to the other extreme
and inflict hard and fast lines on those who indulge in
this healthy recreation, and if not noble, at any rats
high art. '1 he new cinder path will be opened on the
7th of July and not Jane, my mistake last week
arising from a printed nodose to that effect.

I regret to state that my friend the "Wanderer"
has not been as good as his word in furnishing me with
a letter. The numerous readers of the Te/egrant wit
sympathise deeply with him when they hear the cause.
The venerable gentleman is at present confined to his
bed with A severe attack of gout, and when it has
left his finger., and he can take up his pen, he will
wield that mighty instrument with p iwer, and pl ice
before your readers a few of those bon mots for which
he has been so tv.teil in days gone by.
