. yESUVIUS ANGRY.

Mount Vesuvius, the historic volcano
near Naples, which eighteen centuries
ago destroyed the cities Of Pompeii and
Herculaneum, is again exhibiting its
fiery temper. The central crater and a
number of new mouths are vomiting
lava and ashes. Three streams are flow
lng down the mountain side, burning the
Somma, nearly reaching the observatory
and threatening the barracks of the Car
abneers.
1t is said that the spectacle is a most
inspiring one, and that the famous noun
tain is more menacing than 1t has been
for twentysix years.
Vesuvius is never entirely inactive, and
the presence of the subterranean fires,
which burn eternally at its base, is al
ways manifest. Usually, however, only a
thin column of smoke and fine ashes
comes from the crater, while at night
there is dull glow above the summit.
The people of Naples. who have been
reared within the shadow of this grim
freak of nature, do not regard Vesuvius
with half the fear which has been en-
gendered in foreign minds by Bulwer's
famous novel, "The Last Days of
Pompeii." Long experience observation,
ana tradition have taught them Just what
TO expect of the volcano and how to
take its moods. 1t has TO be ugly. indeed,
to disturb them, for merry. dirty Naples
frets not over trihes when the skies are
blue and the seas are calm.
Since the destruction of Pompei and
Herculaneum, the most formidable erup-
ton Of Vesuvius occurred in 1851. During
the present century-in 1922. 1856. and
1ST2--the volcano again became dangerous,
and now it threatens further damage
Verify, the awful mountain is one of
those things predestined to live in his
tory.

COUNTERFEIT BUTTER.

Many dealers in pure butter here COM
plain greatly because Of the non-enforce-
ment Of the State law with regard to the
sale Of oleomargarine and butterine.
We do not know what are the facts in
the case; but that great quantities of
bogus butter are sold here. in the winter
especially. cannot be questioned. In many
instances, dealers in 1t make little or no
attempt TO conceal what they are doing.
The Dispatch would advise dealers who
are opposed to the bogus butter business
to appoint a committee to consider the
ordinance proposed by Mr.. CARRIER, i'm
posing special license tax for the sale
of butterine, &C., and to consult CTR po-
lice authorities as TO the best method Of
prosecuting offenders against the existing
law
In this matter, as in many others where
wrong is to be righted, it is necessary
first to arrest public attention, and then
TO bring to bear the force Of public opin-
ion TO abate the evil complained Of
OF course, whoever wishes TO buy oleo-
margarine or butterine should rave that
privilege; but 1t Is wrong-it is fraudu-
lent-to sell the counterfeit for the genu-
Inc article.

BASEBALL.

| Out OF the carnage OF the Spanish
| American war, there rises, badly battered
but still in the ring, the spectre OF a
noble Institution which once swayed the
| passions OF men and set the Western
World agog. Base-ball-in former years
| the summer idol of an enthusiastic ma
| tion--has gone down at the cannon's
mouth. and the ricocheting of the metal
| lie projeetile has superseded the SER
pentinings of the delusive horsehide. Or,
to state cold, picked facts. which
come with double acerbity to lovers Of
the sport. American people didn't have
time 10 think about the game this season,
and, therefore. the turnstile has rusted
through inactivity. We are always in
temperate In our love for athletics but
how could even the most presumptous
dare TO compare baseball with that
wherein Uncle Sam bagged all the clay
pigeons?
And so these autumn days are indeed
melancholy times for the broken-thumbed
heroes who formerly scintillated on
the diamond. They have flown to their
homes unwept. unhonored, and unsung.
Skilful pitchers and expert basemen no
longer command salaries far superior to
the revenues of other professions" and
the darlings of the "rooters" have be-
come drugs on the market.
And out of this chaos of disruption we

Ger? Shall Richmond turn her bats to
fence rails and sow her diamond in vernal
onions?'
No one ventures a positive reply. but
spring will bring an answer. The sub
ject is too full Of pathos for discussion
now. One thing, however, is certain
Unless the prospects brighten. we cannot
again have the good team which tried to
please US this year. We must be less
ambitious; may be. the fans" will have
to content themselves with State league.
This solution OF the difficulty appears
the best for the present. The smaller
towns are enthusiastic over the project
and would enter heartily into it. Lynch
burg stands ready with financial aid, and
SO do Roanoke, Norfolk. Portsmouth, and
Newport News, while other Virginia
cities would gladly follow their example.
Perhaps, however, 1t is better not to
agitate the matter too much just now.
Our blood is chilled, whereas, in the
springtime the young mans fancy gently |
turns towards the grandstand.
