Literary Notes.
Mark TWIN Returns

After an absence OF little over five
years Samuel L. Clemens better known
as Mark Twain has returned to his ma
tive land. All will remember how a few
years ago, this unique genius ofliterature
through the failure of publishing firm,
with which he was connected found him
self heavily in debt. At this time he as
sumed, not only his share of the liabii-
ties, which resulted from the failure of
those of the publishing venture, but
those OF the company as whole. Filled
with the determination that every dol
lar OF the debt should be paid the brave
author started, five years ago on a lee
ture tour of the world In this he was
successful beyond his expectation. Be.
tore leaving Vancouver for Sydney five
years ago Mr.. Clemens made this state

compished the task in about two wears
and did not return to the United
States as planned. For the past three
years Mr. Clemens has resided in Europe
dividing his time between London,
Florence, Vienna, and Berlin. Mr.. Cle-
mems states that he will remain in New
York for the winter, and, in the spring
will go to his old home in Hartford.

Two Foot Ball Games.

The Academy eleven have played two
interesting foot ball games during the
past week The first game was at
Bakersfield Saturday, when the Acade.
my's met the Brigham Academy boys
OF that place. The game was a warm
ly contested one and resulted in a score
OF 0 to 0.
The best game OF the season, thus far.
was played on the campus, Monday
afternoon between the Montpelier
Seminary eleven and the Academy's.
The game resulted in a victory tor the
home eleven with score of q to O..
In the first half of the game, the
Academy eleven scored three touchdown
and kicked two goals, and in the second
halt scored two touch.downs and made
one goal. The special features of the
game were the fine work of Burrows.
who during the game made several runs
OF nearly rs yards. The strong playing
OF Gorham and Pierce. In fact we might
mention the work of the entire eleven as
being exceptionally fine. They played a
steady hard game, and the absence OF
tumbles was striking feature of their
play.
The Montpelier eleven is a strong one,
and their record for the season is good.
In game few days ago, they held the
eleven of the U. V. M, down to a score
OF is, the result of the game being
U. V. M, 16, M. S., 0. The Academy
boys were, naturally greatly elated over
their victory, and celebrated Monday
evening with bonfires and general
good time.

At the Opera House.
The Village Postmaster.

The small audience which attended the
production of The Village Postmaster"
at Howe Opera House Wednesday even
ing of last week, witnessed veritable
dramatic treat. St. Johusbury has rare
ly if ever witnessed a better production
OF the kind. The play itself is one of the
most successful dramas of New England
lie ever produced, and the members of
the company were all actors of ability.
The first act represents the village post
office and store, and later the village
green on General Training day. The first
act is good, but in the three remaining
acts, the play goes on through well
balanced succession of humorous and
pathetic scenes, in an unusually natural
way, for one of it's class, and in this, lies
it's charm, The production was splen.
didly staged, special scenery was used,
and as whole the play was worthy of
much larger patronage. Excellent music
tor the production was furnished by a
trio from Young's Orchestra, assisted
by Mrs. Brock, pianist
The Christian.
Probably nothing in our dramatic
season will create a greater interest,
than the production of 1.-THE Christian"
at Howe Opera House Thursday even
ing, November LIST. This is the third
season of this play, adapted from Hall
Gaines famous book of the same name,
and in that time it has proved to be one
OF the greatest dramatic successes in the
history of the American stage. The play
will be presented here under the manage
ment of Lieber & Co., the original pro-
ducers of the drama THE Christian" is
the play which placed Viola Allen high
among the stars of the dramatic world,
but critics have never said that Viola
Allen made the play. The strong features
of THE Christian" are in the production
itself, and in it there are many strong
characters which have brought several
actors into prominence. The lovers of
Hall Gaines famous novel will be inter
ested in following the course of the
story, as told in the dramatized version.
There are some changes, the most radical
being that in the play, the hero, John
Storm, lives, while in the book he dies. The
principal scenes OF the play are laid in
London, but in the prologue there is a
delightful bit of life on the Isle OF Man.
1t is evident that Mr.. Black is bound
to have the best attractions possible and
the play-going public are fortunate in
having so many high class productions
presented here.

Wheat Extremely Active, With Corn
and Oats Firm.

CHICAGO, June 16.-The boom in wheat
was on again today, opening excited and
5-s@1c higher, trade being made in July
at "A 5-s and rs simultaneously. French
crop news was particularly strong, indi-
eating a requirement Of 100000 900 bushels
Of foreign wheat. The big factor, how
ever, was the continued absence of sub
stantial rains in North Dakota and Min
nesota- There was reaction to "A 1-21

of the withdrawal of foreign ambassadors
from China.
The corn shorts were fair buyers, OPEN

after a close at 3S 7-s. Crop reports were
generally favorable.
Oats were quiet and firm. There was
some buying on the rally in wheat. with

were a little higher at 223-497S, as
against the close at % 5-SG34.

WHAT Is THE SHAMROCK
Some discussions ms to the Identfty
of Ireland's Emblem.

There is a great deal of disputing and
doubt as to what the shamrock, Ireland
national emblem. really is. At a recent
meeting of the Royal Botanic Society OF
London. the identity OF the plant was the
chief subject OF discussion. In popular
estimation pretty well any one of the spe-
cies of clover answers the purpose but it
is self-evdent that name cannot be equally
applied to all the members of the family
For If St. Patrick ever did pick the leaf
1t must have been from some one parti-
cular plant. The lesser trefoil is probably
the most generally recognized as the real
shamrock. But is it? In Ireland itself
that plant is the most popularity accepted,
though the white clover may sometimes be
used and occasionally the wood sorrel, in
favor of which there is great deal of
weight brought to bear
1t is somewhat curious that the name OF
shamrock itself does not do anything to
throw light on the case. Cameron in his
interesting work on the Gaelic Names of
Plants" gives ''seamrog" for the Oalis
and "samhrag bhuide" for Trifolium pro-
cumbens, which is very largely accepted
for the real shamrock in many parts of
the British Isles. II st. Patrick used
leaf to illustrate the doctrine of trinity he
could hardly have found that of Trifolium
.A'Auu' pSiieStiy ht'eu " Mo CASE, us inc
terminal leafiet Is distinctly stalked, as
indeed 1t is in all the other species of this
family. Hence the 0xalis fills the bill ex-
actly. 1t Is. perhaps. well to let the clover
stand as the symbol, because the Oxalis
leaf withers as soon as gathered, and,
moreover, it is one of those things that
can never be authoritatively settled.
The Irish peasants themselves have a
cheerful disregard Of specific identity, and
gather anything In any way suitable that
they happen to come across, and in each
case. of course, 1t is the true shamrock.
Undoubtedly in Ireland Trifolium repens
is most generally sold as the nations seal.
In Gaelic the word samhrag, before 1e-
ferred to, appears to be one of many
forms Of similar spelling. such as sameir,
siomrag, etc, that are applied to the
members of the Trifolium family.
