A New TowN WITH AN OLD NAME.-It
is well known that one of the objects Mr..
Thomas Hughes, NJ. p, had in view in
coming to America at the present time was
the establishment Of a colony of English
men at some point in the South. New
England capital has been joined with that
Of Old England in promoting the enter
prise, which has advanced so far that q
new town has been located on the Cum
berland plateau in Tennessee. Mr.. Hughes
and his English friends have visited the
spot, and on the I'd inst. bestowed upon
the new town the name of Rugby. Rapid
progress has been made in preparing for a
grand inaugural celebration, which is to
take place early in October.

AN ELECTRIC GAME.

The .lm, OF base ball played at night by
electric light, at Nantasket Beach, Is the
latest Yankee notion. The score, IL - 10,
shows thIt the playing was not bad; that
is, had light enough to get on with. S,ill,
the players complain that it WIS not sutll-
Client, was too much like moonlight; 50
that, il the projectors OF the experiment
wish To convince the public that they an
shed light enough over Il city from cleyat-
ed stands 70 allow people 10 sit in their
houses and pursue their ordinary evening
light, more light still will be necessary.
The building operations now going on in
Washington street o'nIghts constitute the
best demonstration OF the practical use
fitness Of the electric light thus far. The
experiment of heating q city by wholesale
is to be attempted next winter on dcci-
sive scale in Springfield. After these i'm
provements in the comfort of our daily
life are effected, the only thing remaining
TO be invented absolutely necessary for the
general diffusion of luxury will be min
ing stock of some kind which everybody
can sell TO everybody else at a constantly
increasing profit and nobody have to hold
or "get stuck" on.
CORRECT FIGURES. The Maine Year
Book has been caught in the general fog
which pervades the records OF the last
election at Augusta. The returns of votes
published in the Year Book are always
obtained from the Secretary of State, and
are printed with scrupulous care, precisely
as they are received. After the publca-
ton OF the Yearbook for 1880, IL was dis
covered that the footings for the election
OF 1879 did not agree with the reported
vote OF the towns. On enquiry of the
Secretary of State, it was ascertained that
the figures had been copied from the tabu-
lations made by the committee OF the
Fusion Legislature last winter, and that
changes had been made in the votes OF
towns after the footings were made and
without regard to them. new tabula-
ton has been made, therefore, from the
original returns, and this report, with
accurate footings, has now been published
by Messrs. Hoyt, Fogg Donham, in
l2-page supplement to the Yearbook.

The selection OF a site for the proposed worlds
fair in New York is narrowed down to three
piaees-Central park, Prospect park and Coney
Island. There is great opposition manifested to
the selection OF either of the parks, on the
ground that no matter how much care may be
bestowed upon the preparation of the ground
erection OF buildings, ETC.. the park would be
seriously damaged. The people do not care to
destroy OF inIure their parks for the sake Or
having the worlds fair. nor do they think that
necessary. The general opinion Is that sites
Just as eligible as either of the parks named
can be found. The committee admit that
there are appropriate sites outside the parks,
but say that whenever they have
proposed to select certain locality the own
ers OF the property have put an exorbitant price
upon IT. and that this spirit OF speculation Is so
general among property owners that the COM
mittee turned to the parks as their only hope
Ii this IS the sort Of interest exhibited for the
enterprise by the rich men, the very class who
ought to forward 1t, then the committee had
better recommend that the project be aban-
doned. IL the people OF New York have no
higher object than money making In connec-
tion with the proposed worlds fair 1t Is likely to
be failure. The few who have undertaken to
push the enterprise have met with obstacles
from the outset, and really have made no pro-
gTeSS.

Mr. Gladstone has been carefully and
thoughtfully studying the situation in Ireland
the working OF the land system. operations OF
the laws and troubles with the tenants, aud it
Is now asserted with some show of authority
that he has devised policy for the settlement
OF the Irish problem. His plan. as given, is to
assemble parliament In January, instead Of
February. and at once submit an Irish land bill
sweeping enough In its provisions to go RICH.
to the bottom Of the trouble. The bill will
relive the Irish tenantry OF the oppressive
features OF the existing land laws. The
premier, so it Is said. anticipates the opposition
OF the House OF Lords to his proposed measure,
but II the lords reject the measure and persist
In refusing to accept it, as settlement OF the
Irish troubles, then Mr.. Gladstone will appeal
TO the country and make his relief bill the one
distinct issue OF the canvass. This policy Is an
aggressive one, but the Irish question requires
heroic treatment. In this day of advanced Civ
iliZatIon it will not do for the British govern
ment 10 undertake to rely simply upon It's power
TO compel the submission OF its Irish subjects to
anything that the rulers may choose to impose.
Injustice TO the Irish will be quickly observed
and condemned by all the nations whose opin-
ion is worth anything. Mr., Gladstone. 1t ap-
pears, understands this, and proposes that JUS
tee shall govern his policy. The House of
Lords, being made up chiefly OF the land own
erS, will, from motives of seltintere5t, endeavor
to maintain the system that makes the owners
OF acres the absolute rulers, and the ttllers Of
the soil poor dependents. The decided aver
sion OF members OF Parliament to enter upon
another election, with its attendant expenses
so soon win. probably, obtain considerable sup
port for the premler's bill PIN the House of Com
mons, but the lords will, no doubt, make hard
light to retain their aristocratic and autocratlc
land privileges.
