PLDDLETRENTRIDE.
A NUISANCE.
To the Edagor.

81i,—Allow ;me through the medium of your paper
to expeew my sympathy with the young person that
walked int, the water here the other night. To all
appearance wine of the young folks of Dorchester had
been to the Temper ince Hall for the purpose et enlist-
ing the sympathy of the parishioners to try and do
away with the nuisances set up and sanctioned by
Government, the liquor traffic, and on leaving the
hall one of them walked into a nuisance, allowed to
exist either through the indifference of the ratepayers,
apathy uf the Inspeetor of Nniiiiinces, or the timidity
of the surveyor. From what I hear, if the officials of
the parish would call a meeting and hold a consulta-
tion there would be willing hands and hearts forth-
coming to do away with the open river, which is a
standing disgrace to the village. I hope the officials
of the parish Highway Board, or Burial Beard, will
take the matter in hand, and so bury the nuisance in
the shape of an arch over the river.—l am, sir, yours

UP WET.

Cosoammostat Citarxi..—The choir of this place
of worship gave a service of song, entitled—" Jessica's
First Prayer," in the chapel, on Tuesday evening last,
In aid of their new chapel, which is now in wares of
erection, on the Dorchester-road. The attendance was
very fair, considering the unfavourable state of the
weather. The Rev. J. S. Butcher haring briefly
explained the objects for which they had met, proceeded
, with the wrier, which commenced with readings.
I The solo—" Come, let us Join," by Mies Newberry,
was sweetly and creditably sung. "Poor Little
Jessica," by Miss Newberry and Mime F. Carter, was
much admired, as was also " Cheerful Voices," by
Miss M. Bowditch and Miss F. Carter. The pieces as
sung were as follows :—"Th not with Bustle," "Ti.
Blessed to Give," "Good Samaritan," "Speak the
Truth," "Poor Little Jessica," "Come, let us Join,"
"The Guiding Hand," "Yet there Is Room," " Cheer-
ful Voiool., Our Father who art in HO& " "
not Fine Words," "We all might be Good:" "Kewees-
her the Poor," "The Lord will Provide, "And now
appear the Shades of Night," "Conic ye Blessed," "In
Silence Unbroken" sad "Blamed is the People," all of
which were sweetly sung. At the conclusion of the
service the Rev. J. S. Butcher said :—We hays come
to a conclusion of the book, and consequently to a
termination of the service; but there are many lessons
to be learnt from it. Let us all in future take more
notice of the poor little ragged ones that roam our
streets, and point them to God, if we can't do anything
elm for them. Having thanked them for their good
attention as well as for the very fair attendance, the
usual Benoliction brought a most pleasant and instruc-
tive service to a doge. Miss Chip very ably presided
at the harmonium. The Rev. J. S. Butcher gave the
oonnective reeding, in • clear and distinct voice which
greatly added to the enjoyment which it afforded.

LADY

I regret to heir that tb a health of Lady Burdett-Coutts has
been considerably affected by the anxi,ties of the past
few weeks. It is believed by her moat intimate friends '
that this painful result is In a large degree owing to
the conduct of those whose future interest. she has all
her life so carefully guarded, and whom she has always
treated with the greatest indulgence and generosity. It is
to be hoped that some early *elution may be found of
what is now a very embarrassing situation. If by her
marriage with Mr. Bartlett the Baroness corn,, under the
forfeiture clause—which is still dont,. ful—it does nct
follow that those legally entitled in succeesion c moot,
and had not better, release her from it. The ',dation,
t:sr, fore, would seem easy, and no person's interest could
he ,a any way affected. On the other hand, by it. being
insisted upon, Lady Bordett-Ooutte must b 0 driven to
sever her connection with the hank, and there are not
wasting symptoms of grave uneasiness at this prospect.
It does seem !somewhat absurd that the "alien clause' in
the Duchess's will—which wag, I understand, aimed at a
'Articular individual living at the time, and is now
',reek:ally without meaning—.hould empower anyone
suddenly to dissolve the connection between the B,ronets
and the bank, which has been so lour maintained •Ith
honour and credit. The large developement and singular
I stability of Mesas. Ciutts business ham always been
recognised to have been derived as much from the libar-
silty and judgment of Lady Burdett-Uoutts as from the
ability of her partners. Because Luly Burdett-Coutte has
scattered bishoprics over the world, founded and endowed
churches and szhools, built markets, fountains, homes,
refugee, sad spent enormous sums in charities every year,
It is perhaps rather unreasonable that people who know
little of her position, and less of the circumstances of this
marriage, should interfere with the Baroness mooring
her own comfort and happiness in her own way.

A TWO-PICIIIIT-HA'PCNNT Was.—Economista from
Moreton used to take a ticket to Dorchester, and then
go on to Weymouth, if they wished to visit the seaside
at the lowest coat. But if they tried t ) save the
hilPeaeel last week, they only gained a loss, for the
South-Western directors have raised the fare from fid.
to 91., third class, and only one or two trains a day
run at the parliamentary fares. It is said this
additional tax on third-class passengers bas been
adopted in consequence of the action of the Great
Western Company, to whom the Weymouth and
Dorchester line belongs, and d mbtless the equalisati
of the fares—(for the Great Western have demanded
9J. for • long time past)—will tend to drive some
amount of the extra train° away from the South
Western to the Great. When the latter company thus
not only adopt a reactionary course but induos ot,mrs
to go backwards also, it is a question whether it is not
time to encourage the blidland, who have long been
desirous to set to Weymouth, and who would restore
the balance between the Dorset watering-place a3d •

In the House of Lords, on Monday night, Lord
Kimberley moved the second reading of the Ground
0-me sal' of which Earl Redale moved the
rejection. Lord Beaconsfield, whilst disliking the
animus of the bill, and amazed at the spirit in which
It was drawn up, counselled noble lords not to enter
into a conflict with the House of Commons on this
particular measure which he shrewdly inspected
might be a trap designed to weaken the position of the
Upper House on the eve of a great constitutional
struggle. It would not be wise or w3rthy to raid the
House of Commons on the present occasion, and he
advised the House to go into committee and introduce
amendments in the direction of modllying the clauses
interfering with freedom of contract. After some
debate the House divided on the second reading, which
was agreed to by 68 votes against 20. Lord Beacons.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
CESSION OF DULOIONO.

CONSTANTINOPLZ, FRIDAY. —Abeddln Pasha, On the
recommendation of the Italian Ambassador to fix the
Montenegrin frontier line immediately, has called
together the dragomans of the different =bowies, and
has communicated to them the definitive frontier line
of Dulcigno as approved by the Sultan. An Imperial
Irade authorises the cession of the town of Dulcigno
to Montenegro. 4,000 Albanian troops have entered
Dulcigno, and it is believed the Porte will have some
difficulty In effecting the cession of the place. Risa
Pasha has broken off pourparlers with the chiefs of the
Albanian league, and will shortly attack them.

DORCHESTER, TrESDAY, SEPT. 7, 1880.

Unlucky is the member for Bridport, unless he
likes to be despised." His snuff, his sneezing, and
his nosekemhief, immense as either may be, would
have been unmentionable had Mr. Warton clone the
meddlemome in private life only; but as a public man
before the best club in Europe his noises are suggestive
of • contemptuous miff or two. The War d deals
with this infinitely little midge of a Commoner as he
deserves; but occasionally a paper wonders at his
assurance. The Mark Lace expressed itself thus:—

" Kr. Warton emerged once more to more the omission
of the words; which render the Bill (Ground (lame)
ITrye in the case of a yearly tenancy at such time as
onild be U notice of the termination of such tenancy
were given at the date of the paining of the measure. If
there are any agricultural voters in Bri.lport, I hope they
will remember this very nasty amendment, as well as the
other moved by their member."

Water-cart horses in Dorchester are fearfully affected
by the hot weather, being quite unable to drag a load
of water up Fordington-hill.

Old inhabitants tell me the refreshing sprinkles need
to be vouchsafed near the church on the hill. But
whether this was so or not, I submit that a return of
all the Councillors' names, at least those chosen
within the last three years, be sent for poet-
ing on the water-cart. The humbler officials can't
be expected to know so much as the Mayor, or
they might have learnt by this time that Fordington
boasts a useful Corporator, who deserves the blessing
of the hydrostatic van'. gentle dew as much in his
degree as an alderman or an ex-Mayor. When the
vans returns from its pilgrimages to Doll's Hole, it
should visit the district between Al lerman GaJpin's

GENERAL ITEMS

Mrarinuotn Finxs.—We have frequently had it urged
that steam-pipee cannot set fire to wood. We give the
following from the American Manufacturer, and we may
add that the statement entirely amours with our opinion:
—A 24-inch steam-pipe. carrying between 00 and 100 lbs.
pressure, was laid under ground. boxed in pine casing one
Inch thick. Occasion was had te dig up the pips, the
casing being under the roadway ; the whole length of
the wood-casing was found to be charred, and apparently
burnt about three-fourths of the thickness o the wood, the
other fourth being partially rotted. The inside was
completely turned to charcoal, with here and there spots
of white ashes, showing that ignition had actually taken
place. It seems very probable that if the casing had not
been excluded from the air by the earth covering, it
would have biased and been entirely consumed,—.

DORIS SCARING DORIS.

In the House of Commons, on Thursday night, Mr.
Dillon, the man lately castigated blt Mr. Forster for
his speeches suggestive of sedition, said he had received
several letters threatening him with bodily harm. The
latest was couched in the following terms :—"You
dishonest cabhaze garden ruffian, prepare to defend
yourself and order your coffin.- The reading of this
brief note was received with prolonged laughter. Mr.
Dillon sarcastically inquired whether the Marquis of
Hartington would apply for extraordinary powers to
protect hon. members from these outrages. Lord
Randolph Churchill, amid renewed laughter, stated
that he and Sir H. Wolff had received • great many
letters of the same character. Mr. Parnell, solemnly
prolonging the joke, inquired whether if these out-
rages continued Lord Hartington would consider the
desirability of calling Parliament together with the
view of obtaining special powers to meet them. Mr.
Sullivan declined from an article in the Standard the
conclusion that "a secret society of murder and
assassination had been formed among people of •
,1 superior class," with hostile intent towards Irishmen.
The Marquis of Hartington gravely answered that
there was no reason to believe that the ordinary law
was not sufficient for the protection of Mr. Dillon and
Lord Randolph Churchill.
Mr. Callan, on Friday night, was suspended for the
remainder of the sitting from the service of the House
of Commons. So far as the purport of his remelts
*Quid be gathered, he Was intending ultimately to
protest against the inadequate payment and the
Inadequate provision of Roman Catholic chaplains in
workhouses and prisons. The peculiar association of
ideas which connected his remarks led him several
times is denounce the Chairman of Committees as •
Sootchman, the members below the gangway on the
Liberal side as Democrats, and Nonconformists, and
Infidels, and to bring _within the sweep of his invective
the tradesmen of Kensington, contemptible alike,
according to his eloquence, as shopkeepers and as
unbelievers. The House listened with amazement to
Mr. C•llan's rhetoric, and Was relieved when ho was
at last "named" by the Chairman of Committees as
having three times disregarded his ruling. Lord
Hartington's motion that he he suspended during that
citting promptly followed. The Speaker was sent for,
and Mr. Playfair reported to him what had occurred.
The Speaker put the question of Mr. Callan's suspen-
sion, which was carried without a dissenting voice.
The pe-Juint member remained for a short time sitting;
then rose as if he had an indidinct intention to offer
some exculpatory remarks. He was requested, how-
ever, to withdraw, and ultimately did so. Cheers of
relief and self-gratulation sped the parting member,
and with • graceful gesture of farewell (kissing his
hand), he quitted the House.
