The article by Mr.. Gladstone in the
October number of the North American
Review on Home Rule, in reply to the
article by the Duke Of Argyll in the Aug.
ust number, awoke the livelcst interest

papers will be followed in the Review
for December by an exceedingly inter

James Balfour, late Secretary for Ire
land, of the difficulties which Mr.. Glad
stones administration is likely to en-
counter in dealing with the Home Rule.
While Mr.. Howels will not, during
1898, contine his literary work to any
single periodical, it may be authorita-

work will, for some time to come, first
see print in the pages of that magazine.
His new novel, "The coast of Bohemia, {"
begins in the Christmas issue of the
Journal, and Immediately upon its
close Mr. Howells will begin in the
magazine a series of editorial autobio-
graphical papers, in which he will trace
the influences which led him to q liter

is, for this reason, particularly well
adapted to the needs of the busy Amer

by large outlay. Intelligent readers
who want to save time and money will
find it invaluable. Its prospectus for

EGYPTIAN LorUs IN sHAW's GARDENs

EGYPTIAN LOTUS IN sHAw's GARDENS.
Tho wise men Of Egypt believed that
water was the origin of all things, and
that the lotus, as il disappears beneath the
waves of the Nile, is typical Of Khepra, or
the sun, forever dying and always being
born again. The diurnal closing and UNI
folding never ceases until the blossom per-
ishes and the seed vessels are formed.
The flowers offer a great diversity Of
color and are white, crimson blue, pink
and yellow. They often attain 10 the
height Of five feet, varying with the depth
Of the water on which they float. Tho
lotus is successfully grown in this country

The lotus is as abundant in India as ID is
in Egypt According to Buddhistic myth
ology Brahma was borne across the I'M
fathomable abyss seated upon a gigantic
lotus flower, which was also smblematic
of abundance and prosperity. The ancients
entertained the Deief that by eating OF the
fruit blissful rest, immunity from care
and forgetfulness of friends and country
was the result. Homer, in his Odyssey,
recounts how the followers Of Ulysses par
took Of the seductive fruit and became
obliyious Of their past. Herodotus desig-

BAsE-BALL CANES OF SATURDAY.
A Remarkable Contest Between the Rich
mond College aud Forest Hill Teams,
yirginians vs.. Petersburgs.

The baseball game at Island Park yester-
day between the Richmond College and
Forest Hill teams was in some respects
most remarkable contest. Up 10 the last
inning the pitchers were very efecting.
holding the betters down to very few
base hits, and home runs were scarce. Dur
ing the first part of the game many brilliant
plays were made. and the contest presented
many features Of professional ball playing.
The base hits had been pretty well distrio-
uted up TO the ninth inning and the
score at that time stood to 3.
Then came the sensational part OF the
game. With the score Of to in the first
half Of the ninth inning. and two men on
bases, Keefer for the College team made
base hit allowing Mathews. who
was on third. 10 score. Then Lyston,
who had been given his base on
balls crossed the home plate while
the whole Forest Hill team was hunting for
the ball. Lyston WAS quickly followed by
Keefer, making three straight runs. This
made the score 6 70 3 in favor of the Col
lege. The friends of the College boys then
sent up diabolical yell. thinking that the
victory had been won. They we're doomed
to disappointment. however, TOR similar
success awaited the Forest Hill boys. In
this half Of the inning they also made three
runs. again tying the score. Then the
game ended. and was pronounced by many
to have been phenomenal mixture Of wise
and wicked ball-paying. The features
Of the game was the battlnx and
catching of Catcher keefer and q SEN
sational catch in right field by w. Duke for
the College and all-round fielding by the
Forest Hill team. Nearly three hundred
people were present.

One Of the most exciting games Of the
season was that PLAYED b. the Nlrginias and
Petersburgs on the new park grounds IN
Petersburg yesterday. Quares and Enright
occupied the points for their respective teams
and both men pitched beautifully, though
Ennght had O shade the best of il. The game
at the beginning of the ninth inning stood
to in favor OF Petersburg and II looked
ss if the Richmond boys were booked for q
defeat. but nothing daunted they went IL
and amid tremendous cheering batted out
three runs and the game. much to the dis
appointment of the crowd. who we're
anxious 10 see tho home team win. The
score was as follows:
