BASE BALL GOSSIP.

John I. Semmel has resigned as presi-
dent of the Lehighton Base Ball Associa-
tion.
Catasauqua won from Lehighton again
on Saturday through the miserable playing
of the home team. The features of the
game were Yenser's hitting, fielding and
base running and double play of the
visitors between first and second. The
battries were, Lehighton, Simmons and
O'Hara; Catasauqua, Gilbert and Kieran.
The base ball element that Catasauqua
sent to this town last Saturday was not Of
the best quality, and in many towns their
actions and language would have been
deemed sufficient to have placed at least
some of them in the cooler. They came
in such numbers as to Undue them with
the idea that they were running the town,
but this little idea was soon exploded, and
only one disgraceful outburst of hoodlum-
measures will be used. However, lovers
of the game need not be alarmed there will
be no repetition of the occurrence.
In the base ball era OF this town there
was never more completely disgusting
scene than that witnessed on the home
grounds last Saturday, when, during an
alteration in the fourth inning, one OF
the home men and the visitors umpire, a
man named Sweeney, came to blows over an
unfair decision, and the three or foul
hundred spectators present rushed into the
diamond and created one of the most ex
citing scenes of the year During tht
the affair base ball bats, clubs and black
jacks we're called out, but fortunately COO
heads succeeded in quietIng the riot with
out further harm than several exchange o
blows. 1t makes no difference to whom
belongs the blame for the disturbance, it il
sufficient that it has occurred, and nov
let us hope that there will never again b.
a repetition of so disgusting an affair.

D,sgraoefui Occurrence.

There was lively old time in south
First street house last Sunday evening
when fellow who was rip, tearing mad
came riding along on his uppers and
collided with two sports from the classic
precinct OF the County Seat, despoiling
their beauty and decorating their optics a
beautiful lilac tint. There is said to have
been woman at the bottom of it. A little
bit of this Thing goes great ways in a
civilized community. A repetition of it,
or any thing near it, will bring ON the
police, providing they can be found, for
unlike the ruffian in the five cent novel,
when wanted they are never on hand.

of most other countries, because the various
Governments subsidize their ships. we
had an instance of this several weeks ago
when an American barque, which had
brought q cargo from New YORK, was
obliged to return to America with nothing,
because an italian barque bound for the
United States carried a cargo which both
bid for, much cheaper than the American
could do it. The Italian Government PAID
its barque about g., 500 for carrying, the
cargo. Of course the American stood no
chance. While upon this subject let me
speak Of an American schooner which has
been stationed here for several months.
There are immense quantities OF fish IN Iaple
Bay, and among them many mackerel wnlen
heretofore were never used. Mackerel are
becoming scarce on the United States coast,
and an American captain learning OF the
Cape Town mackerel yentured to come here
"a distance of over I, 900 miles) and see what
he could do in the way OF catching the
mackerel and shipping them to America.
Everyone at home ridiculed his adventure
and predicted failure.
Captain Chase, the American referred to,
came here with an American crew and,
shortly after being here made shipment Of
over 100 barrels. In due time he learned
the fish proved to be as good as the Ameri-
can mackerel and that they brought good
round price As there is very little expense
involved in catching, sailing and shipping
them, Captain Chase is realizing very
handsome profit, and has proved beyond

Teaching New Religious Dances.

He is Bald Headed, Wears a Wig and ia
Teaching New Religions Dances.
An Indian runner reports at Helena that
couriers sent out by the Cheyenne Indians
to find the new Messiah, or second Christ,
heretofore mentioned in The DISPATCH,
saw him and talked to him. They located
him in the mountains beyond Salt Lake,
and from their description of him he is an
old man with a long white beard, which
hangs down over his breast Some days he
wears white hair, and at other times has no
hair on his head, from which it ap-
pears that he is bald-headed and
wears a wig. He made one of the
CHEYENNE Indians who visited him a
high priest, and instructed him in the rites
and mysteries of the new religion. He gave
him the figures and ceremonies of q new In-
dian dance, which takes four nights and one
whole day to perform. The Cheyennes have
Just finished their first performance of this
religious dance at the Rosebud agency.
They all believe in the new Messiah, and
all work has about ceased among the
Cheyennes.
Major Carroll says the new Christ is no
doubt some old Mormon elder or bishop who
is spirituaiist, and is proselyting Indians
to Mormonism through mystery and deceit.
The cell in the guard house at Fort Custer
has been busted out and prepared for the
Messiah il he can be caught.

is sure and paying business. Since the
captain started catching the mackerel they
have come to be in demand here, and now
everv one wonders that they were not used
before.
GOVERNMENT OF CAPE COLONY.
Cape Colony is as independent of En-.
gland as any of the English colonies. The
Queen appoints Governor and Judges oi
the Supreme Court together with other
officers. Ali laws are made by the Colonial
Parliament, but are, of course, subject to the
veto of the Crown. This power is, believe
never exercised by the Queen. A new
Parliament House has been recently erected
The Government is fairly progressive, and
has supplied good railroad, telegraph and
postal service throughout the colony. There
are at present about 2, 900 miles of railroad
in operation. The main line is from Cape
Town to Kim berley, the seat of the great
diamond fields. This line, as well as all the
branches, are shown in the map. An ex-
tension is now being made beyond Kimberley,
and this will soon reach the rich gold fields
TO be mentioned later. Many more miles OF
railroad are needed in South Africa, and
there is no doubt that few years will see a
great increase in this respect.
The climate of South Africa is a very
healthy one. The thermometer never goes
far below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. In the
summer months, November, December and
January, it is sometimes very hot, but the

CHAPTER Xxx.
AVE ATQUE VALE.


That frightfll journey-no nightmare was
ever half SO awful But it came to an end
at last-there was the Bryngelly station.
Geofrey sprang from the train, and gave
his ticket to the porter, glancing in his face
as he did SO. Surely if there had been a
tragedy the man would know of it. and
show signs of half-joyous emotion, as is the
fashion of such people when something
awful and mysterious has happened to some
body else. But he showed no such signs,
and glimmer of hope found its way into
Geofrey's tormented breast.
He left the station and walked rapidly
toward the Vicarage. Those who know
whata pitch of horror suspense can reach
may imagine his feelings as he did so. But
it was soon to be put an end to now. As he
drew near the Vicarage gate he met the fat
Welsh servant Betty running toward him.
Then hope left Geoffrey.
The girl recognized him, and in her con-
fusion did not seem in the least astonished
to see him walking there at $40 o'clock on
a summer morning. Indeed, even she
vaguely connected Geofrey with Beatrice in
her mind, for she at once said in her thick
English:
"Oh, sir. do you know where Miss Bea-
trice is?'
"No," he answered, catching at railing
for support. "Why do you ask? I have not
seen her for weeks"
Then the girl plunged into . long story.
Mr.. Granger and Miss Granger were away
from home, and would not be back for an
other two hours. Miss Beatrice had gone
out yesterday afternoon and had not come
back to tea. She, Betty, had not thought
much of it. believing that she had stopped
TO spend the evening somewhere, aud, being
very tired, had gone to bed about 8, leaving
