BASKET BALL GAMES.
Two Victories by Two 81. Johnsbur'
Teams.

Company D played Company II OF
Montpelier at basket ball in Armory
Hall, Friday evening, and the game re-
suited in a victory for Company D, y to
6. Three ffteen-minute periods were
PLAYED instead OF two twenty-minute
halves, and in the first period it looked as
if Company D had found their match at
last. After the game commenced there
was several minutes of fast playing on
both sides before Beck threw the hrst
basket. This basket was followed by
Others and also one basket by Company
H, and when tide first period closed the
score was II to 3.
During the intermission several small
bows enliveued the occasion by novel
potato race.
The second and last periods were rep
clifton of the first, Company D making
skilful passes and sensational baskets,
and the entire five moving like clock
work. Company H were simply lost.
being PLAYED to a standstill. Heath, OF
Company D, slightly sprained his ankle
and had to retire from the game. The
good PLAYING of Heath, Smith and
Wright was especially noticeable.
After the game a social hour was en-
loved by the teams and refreshments
were served in Company d Club Rooms.

The greatest soldier that ever lived
Alexander of Macedon-though he
slept with Homer under his pillow,
had probably never seen a book on
military art, and though Won Moltke
was Il student, we may be permitted
to doubt if Marlborough ever was. He
read only Shakespeare Zealously.
Certainly in our time no able man
who wanted chief for any great I'M
dertakng of any kind would dream of
asking the limits Of his reading or
would be able to avoid a silent preiu-
dice against a candidate, partly unrea-
sonable, but partly also the result of
traditionary experience, if he knew
that he was in any special degree a
student Of books. He would think him
q man apt to be misled Indeed, in
one great condition of efficiency, per-
haps in practice the greatest of all con-
| ditions, we should assign to unread
men-we do not mean uneducated men,
but men who never voluntarily open
books-a definite superiority. They are
! apt to choose men better. Soldiers
who do not read make no mistake
about their general.-London Spectator.

HOW NELSON CANE HOME.


Ira THROUGH the long summer
the mountains and the pines
8S=s-s-S were with me, and through
lSsSsSNp the winter, too, busy as l was
filling in my Black Rock sketches for
the railway people who would still
persist in ordering them by the dozen,
the memory of that stirring life would
come over me, and once more | would
be among the silent pines and the
mighty snow peaked mountains, am.
before me would appear the red shirt
great, free, bold fellows, driving me al
most mad with the desire to seize and
fix those swiftly changing groups of
picturesque figures. At such times l
would drop my sketch and with eager
brush seize a group, face, a figure,
and that is how my studio comes to be
filled with the men Of Black Rock.
There they are about me-Graeme and
the men from the woods, Sandy, Bap-
tiste, the Campbells and, in many atti-
tudes and groups, old man Nelson;
Craig, too, and his miners, Shaw, Geor,
die, Nixon poor old Billy and the keep
er of the league saloon.
1t seemed as if l lived among them,
and the illusion was greatly helped by
the vivid letters Graeme sent me from
time to time. Brief notes came now
and then from Craig, too, to whom
had sent a faithful account of how |
had brought Mrs. Mavor to her ship
and of how | had watched her sail
away with none too brave a face as
she held up her hand that bore the
miners ring and smiled with that deep
light in her eyes. All, those eyes have
driven me to despair and made me
fear that l am no great painter after
all, i'll spite Of what my friends tell
me who come in to smoke my good
cigars and praise my brush! l can get
the brow and hair and mouth and
pose, but the eyes-the eyes elude me.
And the faces Of Mrs. Mayor on my
wall, that the men praise and rave
over, are not such as l could show to
any of the men from the mountains.
Graeme's letters tell me chiefly about
Craig and his doings and about old
man Nelson, while from Craig l hear
about Graeme and how he and Nelson
are standing at his back and doing
what they can to fill the gap that new.

together, I can see, and l am glad fol

REVISED ELECTION RETURNS.
The Majority for License Will he
About Eleven Hundred.

As the CALIFORNIAN went to press early
Wednesday morning it was impossible
to give complete returns, but the revised
returns are quite close to last weeks
estimate.
County Clerk Nichols received early
Wednesday the returns from every town
in the county and the principal change
was in Barnet which gave a majority
against the bill of 1856. Here are the
official returns for Caledonia county:

the largest majority for license of any
place in the state, the figures being 1852.

Without doubt the fastest game OF the
season will come when the Academy
plays Edmunds High School OF Burning
ton. The Burlington aggregation has
won the Prep. School championship OF
the state for two years. st. J. A.
held second place, for Edmunds was supe-
rior and won, although by very close
score. This year the Academy will play
its best and try to cut short the long list
of victories which the Burlington team
has made. This will not be an easy job,
but one thing is certain, that this will not
be a walk for either team. This contest,
which has been looked forward to by
so many, will come off Friday evening,
Feb. 10, at the Armory.

The Brattleboro Phoenix has the fol-
lowing interesting analysis of the vote
by cities, towns and counties:
On the 246 cities and towns in the state
1852 voted against the law; 80 were in
favor; in four the result was tie, and at
this writing the little town OF Shoreham,
in Rutland county is yet to be heard
from. 1t will be seen, therefore, that the
numerical ratio of cities and towns was
about five to three in favor of prohi-
btion. The 1872 little towns gave in
round figures majority of 10,202
against local option, while sc larger
communities rolled up a majority of H.
800 for the law. Rutland county has
the distinction of having given the larg-
est majority OF any county for license,
its figures being 2726. Chittenden
county stands second with a majority of
2279. The banner county for prohi-
hition, so far as Majority is concerned, is
Orleans, which rolled up majority of
Pip, but Windsor county gave a total
vote of 1905 for prohibition, which was
the largest in any county, Caledonia CIV
ing it close second with BIS.
The Vote in 1853.
The vote on the original referendum,
on the second Tuesday of February, 1858
when the prohibtory law was adopted
is OF interest for purposes of comparison
Ii is a curious tact that the majority
then cast for the prohibitory law was
almost identical in numbers with the
majority for license which has now been
cast, so years later lacking only one
week. Following is the summary by
counties.

The most remarkable feature of

this morning. The company dis
charged two scabs for smoking in
the sheds and the others working
there went on strike until their

Finding that the company was
lenient, they demanded that all men
working in the sheds be given Is
minutes every two hours to smoke
