LAKE CHAMPLAlN FISHING.
Excellent Catchss of Bass Pike and

Excellent Catches of Bass, Pike and
Iickerel.
From the Albany Evening Journal Aug. %. !
Anglers on Lake Champlain have enjoyed
a week of fine fishing, and the scores mads
at the leading resorts on tho lake have
equaied the banner season OF 1885. Still
fishing for black bass at RoIses Point has
produced some splendid strings of bronze
backs especially in the vicinity OF Wind
mill Point and at the trestle bridge sepgrnt-
ing the lake from the Richelisu river.
At the latter place ut least two score Of
bass were taken early last week running
from two pounds to five and a quarter
pounds in weight. At Windmill Point the
brankwater, Isle La Motto aud UP the
kichelieu at La Cole bridge, Bloody island,
Hospital island, and st. Valentine fisher
men have been grandly rewarded both with
bass and pike, and have almost without ex-
ception returned with creels illed with SUI
perb base, wai.-sysd pike and pickerel.
At North Hero there has boen great
run of largo pike and pickerol. Harry
Latla and Fred White, two OF Albany's
best all-round anglers, had the rare good
fortune to catch several very large fish, in
GLIDING two pckerel weighing IL and 20
pounds respectively. Capt. William II.
Walker also met with equal success, trolling
s, 10, - and ID Founders large num-
Der of black bass have also been caught near
knight, Buffers aud Gull islands, as well
Us goodly nunbsr Of fine wall-eysd pike
and sheepsbead, some Of the latter weig ching
as high as II pounds. From now until late
in October trolling will be incompatible in
Champlain, old fishermen say, and thou
sands of bass, pike and pcksrel will be
landed,

Between the heresy trials OF DR.. Briggs
served Smith OF Ohio, the Presby terrain
church of this country is kept unusually
prominent in the public eye. Most people
have undoubtedly supposed that the case of
Prof. Smith was finally disposed of, but
such is not the case. When be was con
victed of heresy last December and suspend
ed from ministerial functions he appealed
his case to the synod OF Ohio, aud as this
body ia to meet in Cincinnati on October
10, there is no small degree of interest in
it's probable action.
The results of the various trials Of DR..
Briggs and Prof. Smith thus far haye.shown
concusyely that the Presbyterian church
Is still orthodox, and that there is no hope
for those who hopo to liberalizs that de-
nomination as a body. Moreover it is re-
called that at the last general assembly, Of
the forty votes from Ohio, only six were
against the nviction OF Prof. Briggs. 1t
Is not surprising therefore that the friends
of Prof Smith have little, if any, hope
that he will secure an acquittal or that the
synod will reverse the verdict.
In the meantime it should be noted that il
people were as careful about their Christian
works as they are about the fine points OF
their denomiuationsl belief there would be
much more practical Christianity in the
world than there Is at the present time.

Almost self-IIvident.

Mr.. z. S. Holbrook Of Chicago delivered
an address before the Sunset Club Of that
city some time since on The Lessons of
the Homestead Trouble" Some OF the
fects deducsd By him were these:
Capital and labor are partners, but cap.
ltalists ana laborers are not.
Labor must choose between the certain
ty Of wages, and the y.ossitudes aud risks
of profit and loss.
1.-The obligations of capital to share pro
10 with labor ara no greater than those of
others to share their surplus with the
needy.
"Tbs capitalists OF to-day were the wage
earnsrs OF yesterday, aud the lsborsr of to-
day can become tue capitalist Of to-nor.
morrow"
The third of these propositions will, per.
haps, not find general acceptance; but the
others are obvious truths.

A Permnnent Gimp Ground.

From the st. Jonnsbury Caledonian.l
The preparation for the establishment of
United States military post at Essex June
ton calls attention again to the matter of
a permanent camp ground for the lat regl
ment, y. 6. v, and suggests the propriety
of locating tho camp at Essex junction in
somewhat close connection with the rem
devious OF the regular troops
We believe there ia growing sentim e u I
among the members OF the State militia in
favor of such u move. While a portion Of
the new men, perhaps, would prefer to
cling to the 'excurslonn feature involved
in the holding of muster at different poin IT,,
those oder in TIE service recognize the al
vantRges which would accrue from the es-
tablishment of a permanent camp ground.
1t would bo great saving Of expense to
the State and to the individual companies
az well, doing away with the annual trans
portation OF baggage and equipment that
could be placed, once for all, in permanent
company quarters, where it could be found
as wanted from year to year The estab
lisbment of the camp, too, in the vicinity
of regular army post would prove benefit
cial to the State regiment, from military
point Of view. The State is not concerned
SO deeply in the excursion" element oil

military efficiency OF the regiment. a per
manent camp would prove of more use in
this direction, We believe, than the migra-
tory method now in vogue.
Massachusetts and New York send theil
militia to the same camp ground yearly
and Vermont should do the sans. 1t il
possible that such move might bring int
prominence another question which ia being
thought Of by some Of the more interested
members of the militia-namely, length
ening of the time now spent In camp.
