There has been so much sparring oi
 newspapers over the Brigade Encamp.
 ment of week before last at Mantle. and
 the Brigade Inspector was so plainly in-
 nuenced by partiality, that we have wait
 ed for the impartial verdict of the Army
 and Navy Journal before attempting to
 give any opinion regarding the respect. Y.o
 merits of the two regiments. The excel
 lent military critic who was present gives
 the highest praise to the Second (New
 Haven) regiment for precision in march,
 ing and manual. The Journal goes on to
 say, eff the Second excelIed the Fourth
 in the passage in review. the Fourth had
 it's turn to excel the Second in brigade
 movements. Whether closing in mass or deploying, the Fourth was invaribly the
 quickest, in some cases beating the Sec. ond by more than two minutes" The Journal attributes large portion of the credit to the Bridgeport companies and also to ''the fact that there were several veterans of the late war among company commanders of the regiment. Where they are good, these old captains are priceless.
 The camp discipline of the Second Reg iment is pronounced inferior to that of the Fourth.
 On the whole the encampment is declar- ed to be a success, notwithstanding the lax discipline of Gen. Crauford. Of this the worst feature noticed in the pa pers was the free use of liquor that pre- vailed, especially in the Second regiment, where both the supply and the demand seemed almost unlimited.
 Mir. W. Foster. the author of the Eng fish educational law, and the chief cham plon of the ballot, will pay the United States visit, this fall. His system of ed- ucation does not strike an American fa- vorably, and has been, We believe, i source of considerable weakness to the Liberal party. It substantially gives the church an opportunity of keeping up their parish schools at the | public expense. where they are strong enough to outvote the Dissenters; while the latter, not being strong enough to carry sectarian schools of their own, can >t l,net only check their opponents by fla voring entirely secular schools. Church. l men, with whom it Is ''Heads, we VIII, tails, We do not lose," are naturally much better satisfied with such an arrangement than the Dissenters, who form an impor- tant portion of the English Liberal party. Nor does the ballot in England seem to meet the expections of it's advocates. as yet. They hoped a great relief from the system under which the landlords coer- ,lon of tenants votes, and the tradesman's sacrifice of principle to interest, had filled the House of Commons with members of he aristocracy. It is too early to judge of the effects of this measure, but the re- ,ent triumph of the Conservatives under he ballot has been q very keen disappoint- nent to it's friends.

English railroads cost over three times as much per mile as American, on account mainly of heavy land damages, though their more solid construction, no doubt, also increases their cost. It seems that their expenses, too, have been in- creasing at more rapid rate than their income for the past ten years.

City dentists have fearful and wonder. ful way of charging-apparently out of all proportion to the work they do. A New York ''dental surgeon" operated on six teeth, four of which he plugged, for Miss Agnes Ethel, the actress. For this amount of work he sent in bill for $1 ,O25. She refused to pay and he has brought suit, and we may know, when the case is tried, exactly where the legal limit, if there is any legal limit to this kind of extortion, is to be placed.

We are reioiced to see that Hon. Geo. F. Hoar has reconsidered his declination of Q candidacy for a seat in the next House. The withdrawal of Mr. Dawes and both the Hoars would leave Massachu- setts Republication very weak in Congress compared with it's strength in former years. It is unfortunate that MT. Hoar's election seems by no means certain, as the Butler men and Democrats will no doubt combine against him.
