Old Time "Reyjevjuc,''

The first age of the great modern re,
views and magazines was an ageof kicks
and rough %horseplay. Party spiri, ran
high under the regency. and literary
criticism, SO far from being the '.disin-
terested' affair which Matthew Arnold
demands, was avowedly run upon polit-
zeal lines. Libel suits and challenges
railled upon magazine editors. Jeffrey
and Moore went through the forms of !,
duel. The Chaldee manuscript had to he
suppressed in the second edition. and
cost Mr.. Blackwood a thousand pounds
as it was. Aggrieved persons lay in wait
for editors IN the street.

The Value Of Great TELESCOPES,

should like to call attention to the
fact that the history of the great tele
scopes at Mount Hamilton and al
Washington will serve to lay away
finally a widely published opinion
which we used to hear repeated every
few weeks-namely, that great tele.
scopes are Of little use. The work OF
these two great telescopes mot tc
speak OF many others) has conclu
sively shown their great superiority
over less powerful instruments in
every field of astronomy, in the OBJ
servations of planets, nebula, stars
comets, satellites, in spectroscopy.
and also in those departments Of
astronomical photography for which
they are adapted.
Smaller instruments have their an
propriate fields, and in some of these
they will always be more convenien,
than larger ones. But the great tele
scope, when properly used. is and al
ways viii be pre-eminent. Professor
Edward S. Holden in Forum.

EASE BALL.

- AtJI Ddi<if
The Bakersfield nine was badly
beaten by the St. Johnsburys on
Thursday last, the score standing IA
to /. The visitors found themselves
in rather fast company, though in
three innings they did not allow the
home team to score. Their pitcher
was quick and did some excellent
work, their catcher and first base
men also played ball to consider
able extent, but the rest of the nine
was very weak and showed little or
no aptness for the game. They
secured their only run on passed
ball. The home team played good
ball most of the time, Sam Moore
easily carrying off the honors with a
three-bagger and home run-a lost
ball being responsible for the latter
feat. The contest was very one
sided and grew monotonous-so
much so that even one of the horses
in the "audiencc" became tired and
laid down.
Brattleboro will have no ball team
this year. The whole town was
afre over the game last season, but
the auguries are not suspicious now
The uncertainties of base ball were
illustrated here on Saturday last in
the game between the Woodstock
and St. Johnsbury mines. The home
team scored one in the first inning
and another in the fourth, and up to
this point the visitors had failed to
make a mark. In the fifth inning,
however, the home team was white
washed, and after two Woodstock
men were on the bases, Nutting found
the ball in such fine shape as to lift it
over the center field fence, bringing
two men in and making home run
himself This braced up the Wood
stock courage, and the crowd settled
down to see fine game. In the
sixth st. Johnsbury scored one and the
visitors nothing, and in the seventh
the latter went to pieces and present
ed the home team with five runs.
The final score was 10 to 3, some ex-
tremely poor fielding being largely
responsible for the Woodstocks' de-
feat. OF the home team, Quackenboss
and Drew did some effective battery
work. the former losing his grip for
a little while only in the fifth inning.
Several others on the team batted
and ielded well. What gave promise
of being close contest grew rather
one-sidcd after the fifth inning.
The rubber between the Lyn-
donvilles and St. Johnsburys will be
played on the campus next Saturday
afternoon at o'clock 1t is expect
ed that Garter of ID lrtmouth Col
lege will pitch for the Lyndonvilles
and close and exciting game is
anticipated.
The St. Johnsburys start next
Wednesday on an extended trip
through New England, which will
take about ten days. Mr.. Quacken-
boss has arranged games at Con-
cord, Portsmouth, Northampton,
two games, Haverhll, Amesbury,
Milford, N. H., and Ashland, N. H.
On August s the Ashlands will play
here. The boys are playing good
ball this summer, and ought to play
winning games away from home.

COUNTY sUNDA SCHOOLS.

The meeting at Danville yesterday

the propriety of their further contin-
uance; Rev. J. K. Williams of Peach

present on the promising way in
which the organization had started
out.
The sessions were held in the
Methodist church.

VERMONT'S HAY CROP.

The Boston Herald takes a roseate
view of the Vermont hay crop, as
will be seen by the paragraph pub
lished below. The Herald's estimate
may be correct as regards many
localities in the state, but we are
certain that in some sections only
light crop has been gathered, owing
to the continued drouth. In this
part of the state the crop, so far as
we can learn, is fine one-some cor
respondents characterize it as "enor
NOUS" in the central.southern sec.
tons the complaint by many farmers
is of light grass; between West Dan
vile and Montpelier the same COM
plant is uttered by not a few farmers.
The Heralds informant evidently
had in mind some heavy fields of
grass when he authorized the follow.
ing, which, let US hope, is not over.
drawn so far as large portion OF
the state is concerned:
Not for several years has the hay
crop in northern New England, with
the possible exception of some parts
of Maine, been so bountitul and sc
fine as it has been in Vermont and in
some parts of New Hampshire during
the present season. Vermont is the
greatest and most successful field 70,
dairy farming in the country, and il
and around Woodstock, which mean.
the greater part of Windsor county
the hay crop, which is always boun
tiful, has been exceptionally rich, anC
the fine weather of the last two
weeks has given the farmers an Cd
portunlty to gather it in fine condi
tiou and to make abundant provision
for their stock in the winter. At Thu
moment, many of the farmers hav,
gathered and cured their entire crop
and they say that they have not be
fore in many years been able to gath
er the hay cropto better advantage.
