ebbs anb einbs.

A matter that gave the to a sarcasUcally-warm
discussion at the Council meeting last week, only bears
oat the truth of the old adage, that a cobbler should
Mick to his last. A Parson who tries to usurp
runialistic functions, is about as much at home as an
Editor in the pul pit-perhaps not quite as much. The I Nth
-extremely lugh-priest of Parkstone, has a perfect right,
no doubt, to issue from "the Vicar's private printing
press" a few mild exhortations upon the topics of the
day that could not very well be enunciated from the
ecclesiastical rostrum, but when be does so he should
not only be particular as to the "special correspondents"
be employs, but also as to the use he makes of their
communications. The Vicar of Parkstone, in his
attempts at journalism, has got his right-hand man—
"the member" for that delightful quarter,
which, I believe, before many years have passed
will "cut out" Bournemouth as a winter residence
—somewhat into a mess.

A committee meeting of the Council was recently held
at which the Vicar's churchwarden was present, and it
would seem he communicated to his vicar what had taken
place at the meeting in question and the vicar duly
brought it out in the next number of his Parkstons
Asstieskr. This of course was in direct contravention
of all established ruler and regulations. "Th. member
for Parkstone" it Is true pleaded he had no Idea it was
going to appear in print, and I dare say he had not,
but his attempted justification that be bad a perfect
right to communicate to ratepayers what transpires at
there meetings seems hardly to hold water. If he has
that privilege then why not throw open these committee
meetings to the press and so enable the public to
receive reliable reports and not mere hear-say
repetition* of what takes place!

--
But everyone knows that at these committee meetings
• great deal of private business I. transacted, and •
great deal of orivate talk indulged in, that ought to
be regarded with masonic secrecy. If this is not done
the Inevitable result would be that one half the Borough
would very soon be at logger-heads with the other
half. However, I think both the reverend editor and his
reporter have oath received a lesson, and probably
the next bit of gossip that will be exchanged will be
done after the manner suggested in a couple of line* of
one of Tom Hood's humorous poems, slightly adapted
for the occasion.

THE ALLEGED MURDER OF THE LATE
SULTAN.

The trial of Midbat Pacha sad the other persona
charged with complicity in the murder of the la's
Sultan Abdul Ariz, will commence on the 27th inst.,
before four judges of the Court of Appeal. MUM'S
Pasha is stated to have a lmitted during his prelimiaary
examination that the death of Abdul Azle extricated
the Council of Ministers from their then embarreasiag
position. It is further asserted that the judicial inn*.
tigation has brought to light abundant proof that the
late Sultan was assassinated. Nedjib Bey and Ali Bey
are stated to have stood at the door with draws
@wirde while the wrestler Mustepha and the gardener
Mtuaapha held the aems of their victim, another
gardener holding the feet; two other mina, also
Palace gardeners, then opened the late Sultan's
veins.

DEATH OP MR. RHODES.

We have this week the very sorrowful duty of
recording the death of a gentleman whose smiling
face and genial demeanour will be missed by all who
had the pleasure of acqusintance with him. Mr. J.
Rhodes, clerk of the works at Portland Camelot
Prison, and who has held the office for 18 years, was
lined with inflammation of the bowela, which aggravated
• long standing c onplant, so that CPI Sunday after-
noon an operation swag necessary. This WY performed
by Dr. Askham, Dr. Lilly, and Dr. Bower, and warn
so sucomsful that had Mr. Rhodes been only a Younger
or stroager man it is thought be would in all proba-
bility have recovered. We deenly rim et to say thst
such WM not the case; Mr. Rhodes gradually seek,
and he died on Sunday evening about seven ...clock, at
the age of 56. His family were telegraphed for, and
two sons and two daughtets arrived on Monday night.
Mr. Bitolas wee of an estimable disposition. for,
although from his complaint he had suffered great pain
for many yearn, he WM Of most even temperament, and
constantly wore • shining face, and had a kindly word,
sl that to many it must come as a great surprise to
learn that he whose arrival always brought cheer was
such a sufferer in hie own parson. He woe also
remarkably clever in his profession, and of much
general intelligence and deep and varied information,
and WM consulted at the Prison by profeesionof men
from various parte. His funeral took plan on Wednes-
day morning.
The funeral we. largely attended, the deceased
hawing been very much esteemed. At the time. the
the
procession starting, few, if any, of the visitors knew
that it was intended to go into St. Peter's church, and
were all ready to start for St. George's, but the one-
mony was commenced in the church of the district by
Me Rev. W. Appleford, assisted by the Rev. Mr.
Shelton. After this, the procession slowly moved along
the Grove-road to Ramon and Morns. The first
mourning carriage conveyed the two eons of the
deceased; in the second carriage were the governor,
G. Clifton, Rao., Dr. Askhant, and the Rev,. W.
Appleford and Shelton. The pall was borne by the
governor, Mr. Walters (engineer), Br. A.skham, Mr.

WARRUAII AND PCI(IIKCIE UNION. —Mr. Baldwyn

the meeting of the Board of Guardians held on
day, the the Earl of Eldon (chairman) wedding, and Mr.
Nathaniel Bond (the vice-chairman), and several
other elected and ex-oltio guardians being present
Various questions rewiring care and judgment 1114”10,
in moot of which Mr. Fleming, the inspector, gave the
benefit of his advice and assistance. These periodical
visits of the local Government Inspector are felt to be
an advantage on both sides. At the termination of the
Board business a meeting of the Rural Sanitary Coin
mittee was held, at which were present the Earl of
Eldon, Messrs. N. Bond, 'l`.W. Bennett, T. Gaines,
G. A. Budden J, J. Bates, and T. E. Dowden, Mr.
Bald wyn Fleming was ale) present. Before commenc-
ing the usual business, Lord Eldon suggested teat as
he was now chairman of the Board of Guardians it
would be well for the committee to appoint another
' gentleman as ch .irman of the Rural Sanitary Com-
mittee, which office he had for some years filled.
Regret was expressed by those present thet he
could not continue, but after a short discussion Mr. T.
E. Dowden proposed, and Mr. N. Bond seconded, that
Mr William Montague Calcraft, who takes a great
Interest in this business, should be requested to accept
the office of chairman, and that as he happened net to
be present Lord Eldon should be asked to preside at
that meeting. Both proposals were unanimously
carried, and appeared to give great satisfaction. The
medical officer of health, and the three nuisance
inspectors, were in attendance, and their several reports
were gone through and carefully dealt with, Mr.
Balywn Fleming also assisting in advising and dealing
with several important sanitary questions which came
before the meeting. Twe of them involved instruction
to Mr. Filliter, clerk to thecommittee, to communicate
with Mr. Paisley, the director of the coastguard station
at the Admiralty, touching sanitary defects at
Worbarrow station, reported by Dr. Staintliorpe ; also
with the diocesan surveyor through Messrs. Andrews,
Son, and Iluxtable, solicitors, Dorchester, touching
water supply in cottages at Winfrith. After the
whole business was ended the Local Government In-
spector and the chairman of the Board carefully
Inspected the workhouse rooms and wards. The
sitting of the committee lasted three hours. It is
arranged that there shall be another meeting of the
School Attendance Committee on Tuesday, the 31st
Mat at twelve o'clo Ir., and of the Assessment Com-
mittee on Tuesday, June 14th, at noun.

Early on Thursday morning two farmers were
arrested at Ballinbother, co. ',lige, under the Coercion
Act, and lodged in Galway Gaol.
Arrests are understood to have been made In
connection with the late affray at Bodyke.
A well-to-do farmer named Buckley, on the Belly.
Tourney estate of Sir George Coltharst, Bart, had
his dwelling surrounded at an early hour on Thursday
morning bye large party of armed men in disoise.
He was called out of bed, and on coming outside was
seised by the party, who beat him unmercifully and
slit with • knife one of his ears. The rause awigned
for the outrage is that Buckley went behind the backs
of the other tenants on the property and paid his rent.
Hail:. Palmer, a landlord, real Hu near Roscrea,
Tipperary, is being " Boycotted " for refusing are Inc.
tion of rent to his tenants. The smiths of Roscrea,
having refused to work for him, he drove to Parsons-
town on Thursday to get his horses shod. Informatien
having reached there of the difference with his tenants,
the smiths refused point-blank to work, and be was
obliged to return home escorted by a guard of police.
It is rumoured that the Army Service Corps will be
asked to work for "Boycotted " landlords in future.
A bailiff named Foley, whilst serving writs in the
neighbourhood of Donoughmore on Thursday, wan
attacked by crowds of men, women, and children,
brutally beaten, thrown into the river, stripped of his
clothes, and chased into the village of Blarney. Foley
took refuse in the police barracks, to within a few
hundred yards of which he was followed by the crowd.
The police expect to make arrests, as Foley knows
some of his awallants. Clothing having been procured
for him, he was protected to the city by police. Foley
was subjected to similar treatment reesntly in the
same neighbourhood, of which he is a native.
Two policemen engaxed in protecting two Orange
labourers from the North of Ireland, who are" caring"
• farm near Rathduff, have beet' Boycotted. They
are unable to obtain the smallest necessaries', and the
people of the district refuse to speak to them. On
Thursday they were obliged to travel eight miles in
search of food. The farm is on the property of Mr.
Hutchinge, who was some time since fired at in open
day near Drimoleagne, upon which occasion his driver
was shot deal.

on Wednesday morning, the sufferer being Mr. Naylor,
an estate agent, who is seriously injured. Hearing a
disturisance, P.O. Crocker entered the place and found
Mr. Naylor and his assailant struggling on the flolr
for the possession of a revolver. The policeman got
possession of the revolver, and the young man was
taken into custody. A bullet was found on the land-
ing. It was a five-chambered weapon, four chambers
having been fired. The young man was in the greatest
excitement. He refused to give any clue as to the
affair. Mr. Naylor was attended by Dr. Maitland;
he is also very reticent. The first attack took pl.ce on
the staircase, there being two bullet marks. When
taken into custody prisoner refused to give his name,
and said that Mr. Naylor might. He also said Mr.
Naylor might give him into custody. There is the
greatest mystery in the affair. The pawner was
I subsequently brought before the magistrates and
remanded.

" THE LATEST" RE WARTON.

Punch's extracted " Essence of Parliament" pays
Mr. Warton the tribute due In him in the following
terms :

" Wednesday. --Si r Wilfred Lawson moving last night
his Local Option Resolution. made only one jokej and
that, in th- opinion of the House, belted in the last
syllable. Speaking of Mr. Warton and his friendly
habit .4 i Gately " blocking " bills, •i, Wilfred
he was "the gresteet blacker of the age." Perhaps
th, ro was • slight accidental halting over the last
eylla 4e of the word. But when m 'lnhere opposite
inquiringly said" blockhead"? Sir Wilfred answered
"No, no, you know what I mean—blocker." Warton,
not present at this joke, seems ta have heard of itsince,
and • usually placid temper is disturbed. Comes down
to-de" and looses off his "accumulated thought" au
the Welsh Sunday Closing Bill. His thought a trifle
turgid, and his delivery a little loud. Runs Alderman
Fowler very close IQ the metier of volume of voice.
Now, denounces at top of it, people who prefer water
themselves and object to others drinking whisky.
Only if Mr. Wanton could say all this without raising
hie voice as if he were stranded by St. Thomas's
Hospital, and were addressing the House on the other
gide of the river, it would be a personal convect ence
to those near him.

Frid qt.—Something serious will have to be dons
shortly with Mr. Warton. His natural sense of
humour was not originally fine, and by too frequent
fl wiling is apt to grow monotonous. It consists wholly
of interrupting speakers by bellowing (the word is
parliamentary) " Hear, hear" at incongruous moments.
The Howe, weary to death of the incessant buzz of
Its own voce, leaps at the opportunity for laughter.
Whilst it has the keenest eye for true humour, it will
laugh loudly at jests that in ordina-y conversation
would be met with a polite stare of inquiry. It must
always have something in cap and bells. Mr. Warton,
unconsciously at first, was an early candidate for the
office, and it was promptly b. stowed upon him. The
only funny thing about Mr. Warton was his unconaci•
nutmegs. Now that be has set up as • professional
humorist he has become unbearable. Load in voice,
b dateroua ia manner, and of ,tallest Intellipnce, he,
being hitherto unchecked, frequently in bring.
log the House of Commons mg.nentarily down to hia
own level.

Honourable gnltlemert near him are largely respon-
sible for this. It is not a rdie they would like to
undertake themselves. But sine* it annoys Mr. Glad-
stone, and occasionally bring, about disorder to the
det.rment of business, they egg on the Member for
Bririport ; and it is not altogether hi fool.. it he is
beginning to se-nm' th position • tit • revirsertistive
of the Coupes, a isro I..irey. NEI% Wis:t in w•is at b-at
a poor joke. de is now pi VI (3 'Mt, and, for the credit
of the House, should be snuffed out."

Workmen were enraged on Thursday in opening • stone

Masonry, and in 1829, two years after the tragedy, he

De Witt Clinton, the then governor of New York, and •

of place, was charged before Mr. Newton with attempt-
ing to murder her illegitimate child, Mary, aged one
year and nine months, by stabbing it in the neck with
a knife. Mrs. Bernardo said that shortly before mid.
night on Saturday, the 11th inst., she saw &child walk.
ing past her door with a penknife sticking through the
scarf that was round Its neck. She pulled out the knife,

VISIT OF THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF
CONNAUGHT.

About a quarter to two last 'Tuesday morning the
Royal yacht Osborne, Lord Charles Beredord, com-
mander, came into Portland Roads. There WY no
salute, their Royal Highneeses the Duke and Duchess
of Connaught, who were on board, desiring the visit
to be incognito. The near approach of such distin-
guished visitors, however, soon became known, and
the craft that entered the harbour were curiously
scanned. Shortly alter haltpast 12, a remarkably
neat steam launch tainted navy blue, with gold
mouldings, was lied approaching Weymouth, and
when she entered he harbour • few of the initiated
gathered at the King's Stela. Sure enough, the
appointments of the Launch were seen to be of a
superior deecription, and on her bows she bore plumes
of the Prinoe of Wales. She made for the Xing'.
Steps, and one of the gentlemen is seen to bear the
unmistakeable lineament, of the Royal Family, while
the Dunne was recognised by those familiar with
the recently published portraits With them were
Commander Lord Charles Berreford, certainly much
altered since he was seen on board the Tbunderer,
lion. Captain Egerton, naval equerry, and Mrs.
Egerton. Most of the party landed at the King's
Steps (sad very glad were we that the Town Council
hare had them efficiently restored), and took a walk
on the Emplaned.. Although the party was fully
reargniestl, the etiquette of an incognito visit prevented
their reception by a ready cheer. Wilk the pro•
adore had walked towards the Alexandra °snow, the
launch, with one of the gentlemen remaining therein,
was steamed away from the gathering crowd at the
King's Steps and moored near the Weymouth side of
the harbour. In about an hour the share party
returned, and a little before two the Launch was
steaming out of harbour, on lier way to Portland
Roads, where the Osborne lay. Later in the afternoon
the Royal partly and attendants landed at Portland
Breakwater, where Mr. Ransom's carriage was in
readiness, and were driven to the Verne Citadel and
the Convict Prison. The weather was remarkably
fine. (On Wednesday morning, at half-prat eight, the
Osborne was to leave Portland for Pens mos and the
Scilly Mee, and Guernsey, Jersey, and Cherbourg are
to be visited on the return voyage.)
