An Editor Plays Ilase Dal!.
The; delightful and tender game of
JJjse Bail! Having broken out with fresh
violeneo this season, the following
sketch from the Traveler's Record is iu
order:
Tho doctor said we needed exercise.
Prfctor knows. lie told us to joio baso
nan; we joiueq. uougnc a dqcuv oi in
structions, and for five days studied it
wisely, if not too well. Uhen we pro
cured; a sugarscoop cap, a red belt, a
jrreen stint, yeuow trowsers, pumps. n
colored shoes, a paper collar, aud a pur
ple necktie, and, with a lot of other
delegates, moved gently to the grouod.
There were two nines. These nines
were 'antagonists. The ball is a pretty
ViMle drop of softness, the size of a
goose-egg, and five degrees harder than
a jrocjk. The two nines play against
each other. It is a 'quiet game much
lijio chess, only a little more chase than
chc?3."-
Thcre was an umpire. Ills position
was n hard one. He sits on a box and
Veils "fov;l." His duty is severe.
' $ took' the lat. It fa a murderous
plaything, descended from Pocahontas
to the head of John Smith. The man
in front of me was a pitcher. He was
ra nit pitcher, but he sent the balls
He' caught it, too!
1 Umpire said 'jpJay." It is the most
radical play I know of, this base ball.
Sawing cord-wood is moonlight rambles
eside base ball. So the pitcher sent a
a!l toward me, It looked pretty com-
so I let it come. Then he sent
me auother. I hit it with the club
and hove it gently upward. Then I
started to walk io the first base. The
mil in the pitcher's hands and some
ody said he eaUglit a fly, Alas, poor
ly! I walked leisurely toward the
bse. Another man took the bat. 1
kdrned to sec how he was making it,
and a mule kicked me on the cheek.
The man said it was the ball. It felt
Jike a mule, and I reposed on the grass.
!fn ball went on.
' Pretty soon there were two more flte.
and three of us flew out. Then the
other nine came in, apd us nine went
out. Just a? I was standing on my
ftignUy, ia the left field, a hat ball, a
ifeey cull it, cumc skyrocketing toward
me. My captain yelled "take it."
I hastened gently forward to where
Ti Lnll was: flimlnf tr dp?(ptid. T hnv
I 'gaod eye to measure distances, and I
a t! a glance where the little aerolite
Was to light. I put up my hands. How
sweetly the ball descended. Every
body looked j I felt something warm :d
iny eye. ''MufBin !" yelled ninety fel
low?.? '3IufRn be tl d ; it is a cannon
aiU" 'or?; three' days I have bad
pounds of raw beef on that eye, and
yet it paineth.
Then I wanted to go home, but my
gentle Captain said "nay." So I nayed
and stayed. Pretty soon it was my
Strike. 'To bat!" yelled the umpire.
went, but not at all serene was my
went.'1 he pitcher sent in one hip
"fci&K It struck me in the gnllet.
ii If . t tlf til. I
rouii ycuea me ump.re. lie sent
in the ball again. This time I took it
srpaare and sent it down the right field,
through 'a' iajrlor . window, a kerosene
amy a'ad rp!tip against the "head of
in'' infant, who was quietly taking its
nap in his or its mother's arms. Then
I slung the bat, and meandered forth
to the first base. I heard high words,
looked. When I slung the bat, I
JKad with it broken the jaw of the uu
pirc, ana was nneu ten cents.
The game went on. I liked it. It

ehase a ball three-fourths of a mile
down hill, while all the spectators yell
'muffin!'' "go it!" "home run !" "go
round again!" or "go round a dozen
times!" Base ball is a sweet little
game. When it came my turn to bat
ift-r&t'A, I noticed everybody move back
treated about twelve rods. lie was
timid. The pitcher sent 'cm in hot.
tut' balls in time of war are good.
X ooat' Jiice 'eni too not lor lun.
.fter awhile I got a fair clip at it, and
ybti bet it went cutting the daisies down
the right field. A fat man and dog sat
in the shade of an oak, enjoying the
game. The ball broke one leg of the
dog, and landed, like a runaway engine,
in the corporosity of the fat man. He
was taken home to die.
The & I went on a double-quick to
the field, and- tried to stop a hot ball.
Jl came toward raVfrom lo bat at the
rate of nine miles a minute. 'I 'put up
my hands the ball went sweetly sing
ing On its way, with all the skin from
my palms with it. ? '
' More-raw beef.
Tbat was'aa eventful chajp that first
Invented base ball. It's such' f nh. I've
jjlayed' five games, and this is the re
sult: " ;- :l .
'Twenty se ve j dollars paid out for
thirigsV, . -'?'!' i "
r V )b bunged eyebadly bunged,
, One broken little finger.
One bump on the head.
Nineteen lame backs.
A'8ore jaw.
One thumb dislocuted.
Three sprained ankles.
Five swelled legs
One dislocated shoulder from trying
to throw the ball a thousaud yards.
Two hands raw from trying to stop a
hot ball. '
- A lump the size of a hornet's neU
on left hip, well backl
'-A' nose sweetly Jammed and five uni
forms spoiled from'rolliug in the dirt
at the bases. '
I .have'played two weeks, and don't
think I like the game. I've looked
over the scorer's book and find that I've
broken several bats, made one tally,
broken one umpire's jaw, broken ten
windows in adjoining houses, killed a
buby, broke the leg of a dog, mortally
injured the bread-basket of a spectator,
knocked five other players out of time
by slinging my bat, and knocked the
waterfall from a school marm who was
standing twenty rods from the field, a
quiet looker on.
I've used up fifteeu bottles of arnica
liniment, five bottles of lotions, half a
raw, beef, and am so full of pain that it
seems as if my limbs were but brokeu
bats and my legs the limbs of a dead
horse-chestnut.
A ?ase of Asiatic cholera has appear

The Alaska fur seal contract has not
been giveu out yet.
Failures in the cotton trade still con
tinue at Liverpool.
The prospects of the English har
vest are improving daily.
A French recruiting office has been
opened ic Montreal, Canada.
Peace has not been signed yet be

Several Spanish Bishops will issue
manifestoes condemning the civil mar
riage law.
Austria has prohibited the proclama

result of injurious habits acquired in yosta,
which usually tetminate in impotence and

that of others, reason and morality dictate tie
necessity of its removal, tor it is a fact that a
premature decline of the vigor of manhood
matrimonial unbappiness, compulsory single
life, etc, have their sources in causes, the.
germ of which is planted in early life, and the
hitter fruits tasted long afterword; patients

Nocturnal Emissions, Pains in tbe Back and
Head, Weaknwn of Memory and Sight, Dis
charge from the Urethra on going to stool or.

business, or even to reading, writing or the so

Sight ami Hearing are Weakened, and slect
disturbed by dreams; melancholy, sighing,
