the consequences would have been most disastrous.

graphs that the military authorities attach little
importance to the attempt to blow up the barracks
yesterday; but last night guards were doubled, and
every precaution taken to guard against surprise The

THE NEW DRAINAGE BCHEME.

After innatterable, and most vexations delays, we
think that at Mot we may congratulate ouresivee on
mar approach to the solution of the problem—how to
&poet of the sewage of the town. It lea problem
whim has pueded the brains, and we may say, in Its
oonsideration, has taxed the patienoe of our borough
legislators, for five or six year. past. From the
mayoralty of Mi. Allred Pope, and even before that,
tip to tbe premed time, the question haa been brought
forward till one could hardly won ler at the rather
warm remarks of ens or two of our members. And
yet no on• OM be charged with any neglect or delay in
the matter, for we are sure each one who sits at the
Council Board would be only too glad to SOO hia way
out of the mass of Local Govenirnent Board oommtm-
ications and private arbitrations, of which we have of
lam beard ea much. But trying 24 the question is,
Dorchester may plums itself on the idea, and try to
find consolation in it, that they are not the only town
which has been worried and troubled In • similar way.
Distracted Town Clerks, urged on by the B ard above,
writing on behalf of their respective Loden, asking
which scheme this or that Council cmeiders to be beet,
is now of frequent occurrence, and if only our
town can get the matter comfortably settled, even
though Mare is the grim spectre of the expenditure
of, we are afraid to my how many, thousands, we /ad
safe all, and especially the borough officials, will be
heartily glad to have washed their hands of such an
ugly subject,

The promotion of Mr. Chitty, Q.C. to the Bench,
has given satisfaction, not unmixed with surprise, to
th. Be,, Mr. Justice Chitty, am he will henceforward
be called, hes been now long known sa the leader of
ebe highly iseLsct Bar which practises at the Rolls
Court. Al an equity lawyer he hail made • great
name and • huge Income; and the wonder is that he
should aooept a patio* judgeship at 0,000 a year.
No name is so indelibly enshrined in legal literature as
ghat of Chitty. Old tair. Chitty, the pleader, only
died • year or two ft°, and before his death three
meeetions of the family were in practice as lawyers.
Ms. Chitty ia the sitting member for thdurcl. It. was
reUtrived with dia. William Harcourt at the general
ilictioa. When air William accepted °aloe, his re-
election was opposed, and he lost WA seat. It was this
mooed election at which bribery and corruption were
proved to have taken place. A new writ was not
obbsed when kir. Hall was unseated, and it is hardly
fo be maintained that a new writ can be granted now.
If bog, Mr. Gladstone has earsrified • vote in the
Heine, at • time when, through mishaps at by-eleotions,

WHAT THE WORLD BAYB.

Her Majesty's life at Balmoral is very simple and
uniform. The piper plays under her w-idow every
morning at eight ; she has breakfasted and is out of
doors by ten, from which hour she spends till noon in
walking and occasionally visiting at the cottages in the
vicinity of the Costa ; from noon until fly., with half.
an-hour's interval for luncheon, she devotee herself to
work which may be termed official reading
despatches, State-papers, kc., and writing memoranda
and letters IncJoao:Con therewith ; at fire she sae out
for her daily drive, which lasts till seven, and
occasionally later.

It mum thst the fringe (upon which hare hinged so
many pretensions to beauty) is condemned, and the

will appreciate the pretty white foreheads that two or
throe years' " plantiug out" hare kept smooth and

Dean Bradley, of Westminster, is • thoroughly
likable mass, a warm-hearted genial companion, and a
groat talker. Bat he is no preacher, and a bad man of
lousiums, and his manner is at acme a Brie too sharp
and incisive. He has some of the faults of the pecia-
gogne, but is not a prig, and is devoid of conceit.
Those who knew him wall are most U01111i111(.611 in his
praise; but he is not a character whom the tuidergra.
dilate world could ever oomprehend or e3rmpatlum
with. 11. 1, too impulsive, too changeable, and too
talkative.

Don Carlos, who looks every inch the king he would
like to be, takes kindly to our Engivh life, and
declares that France did him anything but an ill turn
when she gave him notice to leave. His handsome
appearance and genial manner win him friends wher-
ever he appears, and next mason we shall see him in
the bunting field, arrangements baring already been
made for the foundation of • stud. That which the
father ncquin. in the meridian of life will, however,
be bred in the only son, as, while imbibing food for
the mind at his school near Windsor, Prince Jaime is
becoming • proficient in the manly sports dear to
Engliah boys. Who can tell what a generation may

Dung nom A FALL.—On Sunday night an old man
named John Hodder of Rax•lane, expired from the
result of injuries received by falling down stairs, under
the influence of an apoplectic seizure. Thc pour old
man, who was about 86 years of age, was taking • cup
of tea to his invalided wife, and when on the stairs was
overcome by a fit, and fall heavily, sustaining severe
internal injuries., especially about the head. He
recovered consciousness after the acicident, expiring
without having spoken • word. Under the circum-
stances an inquest was of course deemed quite
unnecessary.
DRAMATIC.—Iir. Frank Williams' talented company
are giving • series of first-class dramatic performances at
the Templar Hall during the present weak, and so fax
they have been well patronised. The company is
certainly a Tory talented one, and the roles are being
sustained in a masterly style, by actors and actresses
of no mean merit. Mr. Williams Is an experienced
comedian, and exhibits much hiatronic ability in the
!varier pries which he sustains to the life. The scenery
Is much above the average of companies on tour. The
repertoire includes" East Lynn.," " Drink ," "Truth,"
and other sensational piece. which cannot fail to secure
good houses, as the characten, especially those difficult
to master, are given with great force and dramatic
power. Each evening concludes with An operatic
burlesque or a laughable farce.

REAL BENEVOLENCE.

One of the latest developmental of benevolence—and
we may adti one of the most satisfactory —is the
establishment in the beautiful neighbourhood of Babba-
combs, Devoo, of a "House of Rest," intended for
women in business who find it necessary to recruit
their powers by a temporary sojourn in pure air br
the seaside. Admission in the house is by subscriber s
ticket'', or for those who can afford it, by • moderate
weekly payment, which we Sr. reminded "tends to
make the house more self -supporting." The latter
clays, we are glad to learn, showed • considerable
increase last year, when altogether 143 visitors were
received. The daises who avail themselves of the Rut
are, it appears, milliners, dressmakers, shop-women,
post-office clerks, ter.

the Doterel was canoed by two distinct explosions, the
first being an explosion of gas evolved from the °old
in the bankere, and the second an explosion of the
powder in the fore magazine—the Loond explosion
being • result of the first. The Court acquitted Corn'
mender Evans and the surviving officers and crew of
the Doterel of all blame, and returned to the com-
mas:trier and the other prisoners their swords.

attended to ask for an authoritative expression of

Harvest prospects in Irelands:en.) longer SO gloomy
or rather uncertain as they were a fortnight ago. The
weather which enabled the Tyrone electi m campaign
to be fought with such vigour, and without disoomfort,
has also contributed largely to the ripening of the
grain and to the securing of the harvest. A very large
proportion of the oere.l mope has now been cut.
Much of it is in stock, and no small quantity has been
completely ga.nished. This applies alike to the north
and the south, and indeed all over the country. It is
only on backward soils where the land is cold and
damp and heavy, or where excessive rains have lodged
the grain, that it is not yet ready for reaping. The
comparative absence of rain has also been beneficial to
the potato crop.
There is now every prospect that the projected exhi-
bition of Irish manufactures next year in Dublin will
be carried out. It would be premature am yet to pre-
dict its success, which will depend not only upon the
amount of the guarantee fund, but on the spirit and
energy with which the practical work may be gone
about. The guarantee fond, however, is an undoubted
success. It n w amounts to £8,300, the subscription
announced on Friday amounting to overEl,4oo, and in-
cluding £3OO from the Rank of Ireland, £looe&chfrom
the Midland Great Western Railway Company and
the Right Hon Mr. Justice Fitzgerald, and • similar
amount from three or four private citizens or business
firms.
It is not intended to relieve the two battalions of
Guards now in Dublin until next Spring.
The passing of the Land Act ham been favoured by
a remarkable revival in favour of some manufactures
in Ireland, and that it is proposed shortly to hold an
exhibition. The public boards and companies are
giving hearty support; and the Lord Mayor of Dublin
will Immediately call &meeting of the citizens. Me-ers.
Guinness, brewers, are about to start two large woollen
manufactories.
A report having reached Mill-street, county, Cork,
of an intended raid for arms in the house of • Mr.
Pomeroy, near that place, • large force of police,
under Mr. Plunkett. R-M., proceeded on Thursday
e veiling to the scene. Three constables, having driven in a
car, arrived first, and meeting the attacking party,
challenged them. The response was • volley of shots
—one policeman being severely, and, it is feared,
mortally wounded. The party eventually retired, and
the police following them, Came upon a man on the
lawn. Fearing a repetition of the previous reoeption,
they fired two volleys at him. Death was instant-
aneous, • bul'et striking him on the temple, and a
charge of buckshot lodging in the left side. It Is
stated that the deceased, whose name is Hickney, and
who was a cattle dealer, was not one of the attacking
party, but had, while under the influence of drink,
strayed into Mr. Pomeroy's premiaes. Four ILITOSUI
have been made.

To the Editor of the Sporting TiMICS.
Dees Ma. GUBBINB, —ln your impression of last
Saturday you tell a tale of • village pastor ceiling •
vestry meeting to decide what colour they shoal,'
whiteout' the church, and enquire what village in
Will, happened to be the proud posseesor of such •
clever man. It strikes me that it never occurred in
that county at all, but some ten years ag> • sister of
mine happened to be st iying at Wistendiue (Rutland),
when a vestry meetiug was called to decide if they
should whitewash the church .1131) other colour. It
was then, I believe, • kind of boil. lam not a moon-
raker, but lived among that worihy community some
fifteen veers, so do not like to see them libelled. If
you will kindly insert this in your next, if early
enough, I shell be much obliged.
I always read your paper when I can get it, and
hope that after your yotting you will give us some

where to call for it, and if you should ever be near
this, don't forget to look up yours truly,

DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.

A diabolical outrage is reported from Lille, In France.
It appears that on the 29th of last month, • man who gave
his nate" as Nebo* and said he waa • commercial
traveller, arrived in that city, and took • room at a small
hotel. During four days he went about the place with
parcels in his hand, which the inhabitant' believed to be
samples of merchandise, On Saturday morning he called
the landlady of his hotel, and announced his departure.
Before leaving, however. he hired a cab and commissioned
the driver to convey &certain number of boxes to the ad-
dresses written on them. Shortly after, the town was
aroused by two explosion.. The cabman had deposited
the fir 4 parcel at the house of H. Trachet, • general
business &rent He proceeded to open the box, in the
pressor., of his son and servant, when an explosion oc•
cuffed. M. Trachet was thrown to the ground, and had
part of hie face blown away. Ills son lost several of his
Sager.; the tervent escaped with • slight wound. The
cabman meanwhile had continued his route, and left
soother box at the hinge of • master carpenter earned
Dslncite. He being absent. his wife and daughter,
curious to see what the boo contained. set to work to open
it. They h,d hardly begun when it exploded, but for-
tunately both ercsped with only contusions of no gravity.
By this tam, the police were aroused, and they ran after
the cab, and ciught it just as the driver had delivered •
third box at the residence of an iron merchant named
Brice. Three more boxes were in the cab, addressed to
different persons in the town. They were each found to
contain bombs of o.dinarr gunpowder, weighing ten
pounds, connected by • percussion fuse to the lid of
the box. The comae of this marvellous crime is supposed
to be personal vengeance, but nothing certain had yet
been gleatud by the police.

WHAT WAS NO IDOL BT an impudent case of hors*
stealing. or rather partial horse stealing took place
here. On the 31st of last month Mr. Burden lost a
valuable horse, worth 1:10. Thinkiog it had strayed
he did not give information to the police for a couple
of days. Th. se ofFtcial. were then cominunicated with,
and Mr. Superintendent Batty discovered it at
Piggotts' Post, in the New Forest, some IV miles from
where it was taken. It was then hobbled, and had no
doubt, from the marks, been ridden by two men.
Suspicion was attached to three tramps, who had been
seen loitering in ths locality, and it was found that
one of the men had made enquiries at the inn at
Piggotta I'oet about it. They have, however, wisely
dis-.ppeared, and the animal is returned to ita
owner.

WHAT BECOMES OP AMERICAN MEAT!,

Butchers' meat and bakers' breal are, says our coin-
temporary, the Landoll Univers., two tlings which must
ere long ennui:mad Mao aitsntion of Parliament We get
shiploads of good meat from ilkuarica daily. yet the public
generally know notntne as to where all this TramatLntic
food goes to. A strong soap ci in prevails that it is all
bought up by British butchers, and sold as Barbell meet
Taus is no law ti prevent it, and we all knits what •
traits ring is cao.hls of ding. At all events, the
American food disappear*, sod the price of mast remains
ea high as ever. Toe cora harvest may be is plentiful as
can be, and tne pros of bread is not reduced accordingly.
How is thief The question has been often asked, but
never answered. This is • matter which effec•s every
housekeeper to the kingdom, but more especially ths Poor.
C.n it iv, that no Parliamentary notico is Wien ot the
di.lioneat practices which such • fluttery implies, bemuse
the poor are thaprincpslsufsrenf It looks like it but
we can hardly believe that stria can be the COM. Rather
let us come to the conclusion that Parliament only requires
to get • Orrin( up. The Um. of Parliament c vuld not be
more usefully employed than in seeing al t:r the food f
the people. It is to be hoped, then, that next session
will not he allowed to pass over without the matter being

ISHBABOILNB.

THREE HORSES KILLED ON THE RAILWAY.
Three floe cart horses belonging to Mrs. Miller, of
Castle Farm, Oborne, were killed on the railway near
here by passing train. early on Monday morning.
The horses were depastnring in the fie;d adjoining the
Waterworks at Castleton, and there is ample evidence
that they first got through the somewhat thin hedge
belonging to the Local Board of Health which
separate. the waterman'e garden from the field.
From thence they got on the railway by breaking
down the Company's fence, which here °misdated of
some rotten rails with • thorn hedge inside. The
animals, which were valuable ones, strayed up the
line, and one of them was killed by the fast goods
tram reaching Sherborae about three o'clock. The
accident happened about opposite the old tolldrate at
Oboroe, where the line is very much on the descent,
and the train would consequently be going at a great
speed. The poor horse—a brown one—must have
been struck with tremendous force, as it was dread..
ful y mangled. Its head was struck clean off —aim at
as cleanly as Ifs sword had bee i used—and was rolled
along a distance of 20 or 30 yards from the body. On
arriving at Sherburne station the driver of the train
seems to have given information of what ha l occurred
t.) Mr. Smith, the stationmaster, who, we believe,
took steps to *top the succeeding goods train, due at
Sherborne about an hoar later. Mr. Smith, with
others, then proceeded to the scene of the accident,
I and attempted to drive the other horses—two splendid
greys —off the line. Whilst they were so engaged. the
second down train, which they believed had been
stopped Came 'addend( upon them, and one of the
horses WAS hurled over the archway into the hard road
ehich leads from Mrs. Miller's cow barton into the
mea lows on the other side of the line—a spot about
200 yards below where the first horse was killed, and
nearly opposite Mrs. Miller'. house. This horse was
lying with its bead jiwt under the archway, and,
although not mutilated, died appsrently without a
stribigle. The third horse was hurled down the
embankment close to the bridge on the t4herborne
side. It had nostained a severe cut on one of the
thighs and a bad fracture of the skull.
