THE WEATHER IN ENGLAND.

Nadal, in his Notes on England" says that
the climate Of that country has, notwithstand-
ing its want of SUM- Its fogs and dampness, one
great advantage over that Of the United States,
inasmuch as there is hardly day in the year
when a man cannot work OF take exercise out
Of doors in comfort. Many persons will feel
inclined to agree with him. Up to the mid
die Of September there had not been ten days
since the middle of May when active exercise
in this part of the country could be termed
agreeable between a, N. and 7 p. IN, and
often the night was even moro oppressive
than the day. 1t is true that that We
generally have In the later autumn six
weeks of weather that Is not surpassed
in any part Of the world, but we
do not have more than three weeks at most
Of such weather in the spring, and nine
weeks Ofdelightful temperature, against forty
threo in which we either shiver or sweat, Is
small proportion. There Is one perfect climate
in the world, and men to whom that is more
than all beside should go to Tasmania. There
the mercury In winter ranges from 500 to So,
and in summer Is seldom above 500, aud morn
ings and nights are cool. During the greater
part Of the year the climate resembles our
finest October and November Seathsr. The
scenery is exquisite and from fertile valleys

GAME pRAWapAGkS@ r,,o, & + SEis @ Idy puIs ii An END
The Astoria, finding that their imported
men were not enough TO win games with home
clubs, have concluded to go the whole hog aud
for that reason the five thousand spectators of
yesterdays game were surprised To see only
two bona fde Astoria players, the other seven
being Baltimoreans, who in the first part of
the season, with one exception played on the
Manchester IN. II. club which became famous
for playing the longest and best game on re-
cord, l. e., twenty-four innings, and not n run
on either side, when darkness put an end to
tho game. This nine, with the exception of
Sullivan, Groves and Clark, were imported for
the express purpose Of beating the Eagles, and
they did not have such an easy task, as the
score attests-s to 3 in nine innings.
Sulivau's left field playing was the feature
of the game, as he gobblcd everything that
came in his way, and in one inning he dis
tinguishcd himself by taking n line ball on a
dead run, aud threw Il TO first base In time TO
make brilliant double play, by cutting man
of who WAS half way between first and second.
1t seems to he the general impression that the
present Astoria " nine would be able to give
the National n tight rub and It was stated
last evening that II game would be arranged
between them for next Thursday.
The game yesterday afternoon between the
Creighton aud Templar was not flushed,
owing to n disturbance which took place be-
tween two members Of the opposing clubs, and
rs the crowd rushed in on the field ii would
have been an impossibility to play, so that by
mutual consent Of the managers 1t was de-
clared a draw, the score standing to 9 in
favor Of the Creighton, at the end of the third
inning.
The Our Boys, having been unable to win
game, decided to play the Patriot for the name,
and whichever club was successful should en-
daayor to pick nine out Of the eighteen
players to do battle for permanent .honors
Owing to darkness but four innings were
the game was declared draw, and

ANOTHER SIGN OF RECONCILIATION

From the New York Tribune:
In the telegraphic history of the Presidents
journey one little incident ought not to escape
notice. 1t Is said that the reception Of the
President at the house Of one of the citizens of
Nashville had the effect Of breaking down the
barriers that the war had built up in the So
cicty of the city, and that the ladies who had
been sympataizcrs with the Confederate cause
seemed anxious to receive their Northern visit
ors with most assuring cordality. The Incl
dent is of no importance except rs showing
the effect that the Presidents visit may have
already had in fusing sections of the people
which, till now, have stood apart. The wish
to bring about this reconciliation is the burden
of all the Presidents speeches. and even a
slight progress towards its fulfllment would
b. enough to have made his visit worth while.
