The BASE BALL CHAMPIONsHP-As the
time approaches for out door sports to be in
augurated, the talk naturally turns to Base
Ball, and all interested are anxious to know
what has been or will be done with the silver
ball which is the emblem of our State champ
ionship. All are aware that much trouble oc-
Cured from the ball last season, and much en-
nifty sprang up between all the clubs that be-
longed to the State Association, so that tricks
and even fraud were attempted by some of the
clubs who were SO eager to capture the coveted
prize. At the close of the season both the
Eon and Androscoggin clubs claimed the ball,
but the Eons hold it, and it without doubt
rightfully belongs to them, though it is evil
dent that unless something is done in regard
to the affair, which will be satisfactory to all
the clubs, the fight will be renewed and be
carried SO far as to disgrace the game
and finally kill the interest which has been
manifested. In Massachusetts and other
States the same trouble occurred, and in order
to maintain the interest the ball was melted
into small charms and each club received its
proportion. We would like to see the Eons
give the ball up to the Association, and as no
club will ever be able to hold it three success
i've years, it should be played for in grand
tournament sometime in July or August, at
which time each club could contend and all
would have fair trial The club winning it
should be entitled to it for good, and the pub
lie would not only feel satisfied but good feel
ing woul Id be restored between all the clubs.
Should any desire to contest the winning
club for the championship alone, after the
the same as before the silver ball was brought
into the field.

there has been more or less stagnation in ship
building for some years past we are glad to

yard, 700 ton bark fer r. Lewis & Co., of this

The HEALTH OF Mr.. p1cKrss.-Mr. smalley


writes to the Tribune from London as follows:
Mr.. Dickens was prevented from reading at
Preston on Thursday of this week by sudden
illness-"of the voice and of the heart said
the elaborate certificate of the physician who
was summoned from London to attend him.
People who had come twenty or thirty miles
to hear him read, had to go home with their
money in their pockets, all the tickets beng
redeemed at the door. AT IL the same eve
ming Mr.. Dickens was well enough to take the
train up to London. But the truth is, ne mas
overworked himself, and spite of his usually
robust health, the great writer has reached an
age when he cannot commit excuses with I'M
punity. Whoever has heard him read knows
what an amount of effort he condenses into an
hour and half Few actors on the stage go
through more arduous exertons, and few or
no actors venture to augment their labors by
severe intellectual exertion of wholly indie
pendent kind, as Mr.. Dickens does His
friends think it is quite time that this long Sc
res of readings should come to an end But
he has still numerous engagements to fulfill in
London aud elsewhere, and, suppose, will
feel bound to complete his contract with
Messrs. Chappell What they pay him eS0OO)
may be liberal enough, but to man so rich as
MIR. Dickens 1t is poor compensation for year
OF exhaustive effort on the stage. believe
the real temptation to him is the same which
IS SAID TO draw an actor always back to the
footlghts-the excitement OF public perform
ance, the applause the magnetic influence OF
AN audience upon himself responding to his
upon them. Mr.. Dickens chooses to call his
performances readings, but they are marked
from first to last by the dramatic character =

DIVORCES IN CONNECTICUT Gov. Jew.
ellis address to the Legislature Of Connect.
cut we find that he desires that State to fol-
low the example of Indiana in reforming the
divorce laws. He says:
There were 4734 marriages last gear and 47e
divorces in the State. Disconnected people
come here from other States to take advantage
of what is called our liberal legislation, to OBJ
tain divorces which would be denied them at
home. As the sacredness of the marriage re-
lation lies at the foundation of civilized soci-
ETY., it should be carefully guarded Under our
present laws the causes of divorces are too nu-
merous, and not sufficiently defined, and too
wide a discretion is given to the courts. l
think the law of 1849 should be modified, and
so much of the statute as grants divorces for
ANY such misconduct as permanently de-
stroys the happiness of the petitioner, and de-
feats the purposes of the marriage relation,
should be repealed. l would also suggest that
the law provide that no decree of divorce
shall take effect till year after it is grant
