Bavrivonz, Md., June 13.—The Chicago and Baltimore Clubs played the eecond game in this city of their championship series to-day, which was witneased by about 1,000 spectators, who evidently expected to sco tho Mobumental boys wWin an easy victory, and scrve the Whites 8s thoy did {ho Reds yesterday; but, owing to the steady and determined pley of the gentlemen from the Lake Shore, they were doomed to disappoint~ ment. The game opened with the Whito Stockings at the bat. Cuthbert led off with a clean home run, and the inning closed with four runs, omly two, how- evgr, being earned. The Baltimores, not to be onidone, led off splendidly, the first throe strikers making one and two bage hits, and added four runs to their ecore before they were fent to the field. In the second inning the Whites added two runs, and retired their op- ponents in one, two, three order, all throngh tbe magnificent ficldicg of Force. One ball al- tnost knocked him off his feot. The lead ob- tzized in this inning was held to the close, although the DLallimores plaved desperate aud plucky up-hill game to the close. The grounds were very dry and bard, which made fielding very difficult. aeyerls Liad little to do, but did that hitle well. Tho game wes won through the hmd work of Maloue, who played without an _erzor, and the brilliant fieldivg of Force, Cathbert, and tines, Tno umpiting of L. G. Martin was highly satis- factory to both parties, and it i8 unforiunste iliat tiera are not a score more as honorable and 55 cormpetent men as he in the country. THE SCORE. siversonss.

Tho gome, which was plaved with a very lively bull. was remarkable for the very beavy batting of both clubs. The Mutuals made 21 baso hits oiT Spalding, to 18 by the Bostons bif Matthews. Play was called at 4 p.m., with the Lostous at bat, and Mr, Patterson a8 umpire. Tn the first ipuiug the Bostons made three runs, two of which were earned, but the Mutuals were Dot so fortunate, and Lad to content themoelves with one. The Bos:ous were blanked in the soc- ond. In this iuping the Mutuals were more encceesful, and, being aided by errors of the Bostons and & _three-base hit by Higham, ezored two runs. The Bostons were disposed of in the order of striking in the third mning. The Mutuals in this inning sacceeded in_gettiug in on Spaiding’s pitching, and knocked the ball all over tte field, much to the disgust of the betting men, who had invested heavily on the Bostons wioning. The Mutusls wero not disposed of telore eight runs bad been scored. This gave the Mutuais & winning lead, which they mm- proved on during the remainder of the game, winning easily by a score of 19 to 11. The um- pinng was etrict and impartial. The following 18 the score by Innings— Bostons stons, 8; Mutuals, 3, THE WHITE BTOCKINGS. Bporting matters bave been exceedingly dull since the departure of the White Stockings on their Eastern tour, which has 8o far been as suc- cessful as the most enthusiastic admirer of the clab could wish. They have won two handsome victoriee from the Balumores, the only club they have vet encountered, and the ecore of both games, as published in TaE TRIONE, give hope- ful indications that the Whites are in excollent trim both as batters and feld- +ers, and will return home with a record that will place them at least second in the raco for thechampionship. Theclab which they bave defeated twico cousecutively a few daye ago admivistered the soundes: drubbing to the Bostous that that boasted organization of players ever sustained at tho hands of a rival nine, and it is but reatonable to assumo that the home club, now that it is away from the inju- dicious praee of its own people znd their still less judicious condemnation, will successfully cope with this and all other competitors. It would not ke such a grest surprise after all if ther. come back the winners of every game of the trip, because they bave it in them to win, and are better fitted by circumstdnces, that can- not be cleurly explained, to come out victotrious against such opposition as & fofeign andience can bring_to bear, thau when surrounded by friends. This bas always been the case with the rrofessional clubs that have preceded them in this city, and 1t may be the same with them. Mesnnbile, dunng the sbsence of the club, sbout the only matter that will interest the gon- eral base ball reader is & proposition which cer- Lain Aldermen aro advocating to exact A MEAVY LiCENSE when professionsl games are played. Ald. Cullerton, who has uo base ball in Lis soul, is s2id to be the originator of this movement, and, whila it doubtless is not in the least spitetul on his part, it is very easy to detect a little petty epite on the part of many who support Lim. The Base Ball Ascociation has issued no season- tickets to tho Common Council this year, and that explains the matter prettv fully. None of tho city governments of the coun- try bLave even Lroached tho _license question thus far, and mauy of them allow the free uss of municipel grounds. The Chicago Aldermen, perhaps, cannot understand why this ciass of amusement should not pay for privileges as well a8 other classea. There is a reason, how- over, why the exaction shonld not be made in this city, and itis a good one. It has been the intention of the managers of the Chicago Club, fiom tLe beginniog of the season, to devote the piocecds of certain games to different chari- lable iustitations, aud not oniy that, but to give open-air musical entertainments on the grounds the evening after » chantable geme is played, and aliow the proceeds of an ad- missior. feo to tho grand stand to be added to those of the game, and donate all to the particu- ler institution selected 28 & beneficiary on the ceeasion. The giound outside of the grand wtznlvill be free to the general public.” Mr. (2r-etto lias already made arrangements for two t sames and_concerts carly in the coming mo for the relief of the Home for tha Friend- lers end the Old Ladies’ Home, two worthy objects of charity, and the ladies convected with tieir mavagement have entered into the project heartand woul, and will undoubtedly make the aflairs great wnccesses. The institutions will be treated nlike in this mattor, and the frieads of the various laudable charities of the city will thus be given an opportunity to do & great deal of genuine good for them, and at the eame time amuse themselves, Now, if =n ex- otbitaut vearls license is charged, the manage. ment of ihe Base Ball Association cannot afford to do this charitable work, while on the other Laad, the City Treasury nill beincressed s paltry few = doliars. Theatres, circuses, and the Like pay a license, of course, but have mever voluntarily offered to assist aov bevevolent scheme that may have coms under their notice. Hence, no parallel can bs drawn between them and the base ball club, as at present managed. . 1t was not the intention of the Dircetors of the Dase Ball Association to announce the charitable plan anove sketched quite so early, hut the per- sistency wmith which the license question has been discussed of laie, rendered it mnecessary, 80 that po blame can attach to them if they faii to keep their promise with the sarious Homes and Asylums, Onme North Bide Aldermen—a marvel official of shrewdness and general capacitv, whose chance of re-eloction is 8o infinitestmally small that he would fain do somethi:g smart before he re- tires for good to the shadcs of private life—has even gome go far as to announce in committee that every game of base ball ought to yield the city §1,000, This, like cvery other thing the Alderman alinded to evolves from his inner coneciousness, is eheer nonsense, of course, but thera aro otber propositions of thesame char- acter that have Eut Little more sense in them. The question 29 it stands at present is just in this predicament: License—no charify; no licenso—grest charity. What will the Council do about it ? MONDAY AFTERNOON the professional billiard-players and the manu- facturers of 1efrosbing juleps, cobblers, and like palatable beverages, will mustor rival nincs on the White Stocking grounds, under the tend- ersbip of Cnpts. Slosson and Matthaws, and will use GYOry exertion to smuso themselves. — THE TRIGGER. THE RENNICOTT CLUB ‘has definitely arranged to hold a tournament in August, and will give §2,000 in cash prizes to successful participants. Tho prospest for lively shooting is good this summer, as the other sportsmen’s organizations of the city aro bostir- ring themselves to secare birds, and not be out- done in the matterof tournaments. The Prairies will certainly have an wunusual killing contest of some kind between thomselves, and in all probability the rocently- organized Gun Club will not permit itself to be thrown in the ehade. Meanwhile, Wachter, the champion bird-bunter, is begiuning to nquire, somewhat anxiously, ** Whero are the birds com- g from?'" BENEFIT OF MILES JONNSON, To-morrowafternoon this veterau New Jorsoy sbot witl be tendored a beneiit at Dexter Park. His diamond gold medsl for double-bird shoot- ing will be shot off by twenty geatlemen at fir- toen double rises each, under the Eennicott Club rules, and Capt. Bogardus, the champion pireon-shooter of the world, will blaze away at twenty-five pairs, to kil thirty-eight birds from two pluoge or ugring»trnps lacea forty yards apart, ho to stand ob a line between the two, and both to be sprung at the ssme time. The Captaic sccommodatingly-offers to wager 250 that Lo can _accomplish the feat, or that ho one elee can, and the stakes will go to the bone- ficiary. The tickets for the entertainment are 50 cents.

Recport of the Pacific Cable Exploring Expedition, New Yonx, June 13.—The soundings with ref- erence to tho bed for the ocean cable to Japan reveal rather a different condition of affairs be- tween Honolulu snd Yokohama from that which has hitherto been found characteristic of the bottom of the Pacific Ocern. A letter from the sounding expedition describes at least six moan- tain peaks or ridges that interveno between these_ points, five being submarine and one reaching the surface. These mouotains are from 5,000 to 12,000 feet in height over the rest of the bed, which isa very level plain. The summit of these acclivities are covered with coral and lava, which are 8o hard as to indent the sounding cylinder. CASUALTIES. * Four Days at Scz on a Raft. Bavasxam.

She was, writes o_correspondant of ths London Times, a_beautiful and lovable child, 53¢ years old, and oply four days previously in apparently rude health, but suddenly fell a vic- tim to ecarlatina, A most sincere regret and sympathy prevades all classes for the Prince and his excellent wife, the Princess Elizaboth de Wied, the more particulariy as it was their only child, though their marriage was celebrated on tle 13th of November, 1869. Tho salic law pre- vailing here, the ~Roumanians wero mnot mourning for the loss of an heir to the thione, but in pure sympathy for the afilio- tion of the parents. According to Conii- nental custom. intermeat follows rapidly after death ; 1n consequence ths remams of the poor babe were the sume eveuing conveyed. escorted by tioops of cavairy, to the Summer palace, foz- merly the ancient Monastere de Controceni, and the following: dsy, at 2 p. m., was appointed for tho funeral service in the church in whick it had been baptized. The Summer palace is situated about five miles from the city of Bucharest. The road presented an unbroken line of pedestrians and carrtzges. The Miuisters, officers, civic au- thorities, snd foreizn Conculs were in full court costume, the Boyards and civilians in full dress, ard their Indies in the deepest mourning, but their sombre toilettes were still the very acme of taste and luxury (par parenthese, the Rouma-~ nian ladies surpass i riconess and elegance Pa- risiau toliettes. Ou armiviog at the monastery all left the car- riages and pasred on foot within its ancient walls to the church, making their way through crowds of troops supporciug their colorsdraped in crape. The frout Tuw was entirely composed of superios oflicers, with crape on the left arm and st their sword handles. All the troops had crape on their left arm. ANl brauches of the military and navy were represented. Or entering the sacred edifice the bleze of light from the hundreds of wax lights was dazzing. In the midstof this temple, beneath the dome, raised on an elevated bier, reposed the earthly remains of the beloved child, inclosed in acoffin covered with white satin ornameuted witn broad silver lage. The upper part of the coftin and bier was covered by wreaths of tho richest flowers. Ranced around this funeral altar were young girls clad in white from head to foot, their faces being veited with scmi-transparent veils, their fair beads being crowned with wreaths of violets and their waists girded with the same. No la- dies but io the deepest mourning were allowed accees to the church. As soon as the services commenced some of the minietering priests distributed to each gon- tleman iu the church long wax cierzes decorated with black crape bows. In the Greek Church no organ or other instrument is used. The ser- vice i8 chanted by the priests, sssisted by a choir of very yonng boys. At ntervals bymns and antbems resounded through the asle till the service concluded, the coffin was trapsferred by superior officers to a portable bier, also covered in white orna- mented with silver lace ana flowers in the cofin it supported. The same, pre- ceded by the priests and choir, and followed by all the assistants in the procession, passed out of the church and io front of that portion of the monastery which for some years has bean fitted aod used by Prince Charles as a summer palace. The cortege then, by circuitons walka throngh the palace gacdets, decended to the valley 100 feet beueath. The monastery, from its platean, dominates the country around for miles. The pricsts in their superb robes, the whole way swinging and agitating their censers, left in their tiain trapsparent clouds of eweet odors. The long procession of thousands having de- eceuded to the valley again ascended to the hillside to & small inclosed space where the tumuli of fresh earth denoted the poor clild's resting-place. It bad been the fayoiite #pot whereit had nits little life sported, and where balf-a-dozen days previously it bad been playing with its nurse. Just about this spot on the heights overlooking it were buudieds of young girls clotbed in white, who united with the choir their silvery voices, and behind theso thou- sauds of sympathizing persons of all degrees. From valléy to hill-top hymns filled the zir with sweet sounds a3 the funeral flowers filled it with sweet odors. When the little body was lowered into 1ts sylvan grave, few eyes around it eaw cloarly, for-all were dimmed by tears. Then came the awfal thud of the clay on the coffin, sounding the mournful reqniem of the last earth- Iy farewetl, aud the mourners and spectators dis- persed. e The Earliest Description of the Guile lotine. From the Nation, In ‘‘The Thirde Booke " of *‘the description of Britaine,” which serves ss an iutroduction to Holmshed's *“ Chronicles,” cap. there occora the following quaint account of ** Halifax. law,” which is perhaps the earliest deseription of | the machine that hzs conferred a dubious im- ortality on Dr. Guillotine, As an illustration of merry England in the olden time, before sym- boliem had disappeared from crimiual justice, it may bo worth the space it will occupy in your colnmps : “Tbeeves are hanged everywhere generally, eauing in Halifax, where they are beheaded after & strango manner, and whereof I find this report.

From the Pall Mall Budget. Not “Napolecon 1IV.,” but literally *The Fourth Napoleon,” is the title of this work, which is ono of the most remackable biographies it has been our good fortune to meet wita. Be- giuing at the beginning snd_before the begin- ning, the author, 3L Loonce Dupont, describes the anxious speculation of those chiefly inter- ested a8 to the sex of the coming child, who was auonce * the hopo of the party of order” and *‘2 subject of fear to those who aimed at new subversions.” Evidence may be gecn of a sort of superstitious desire on the part of Napoleon 111 to imitate the conduct of Nepoleon 1. under similar circumstances in the fact that, precisely asin 1811, “*a Baron Dubois, aseisted by a Dr. Corvisart,” wero appointed to preside at the Iving-in. It was not neceseary, however, for bim to say what the founder of tho family said to the Baron Dubois of his time: *‘Imagine that you are treating the wife of a shopkeeper of the Rue St. Denis; you can't do more, and, in any care, #ave the mother.” If a girl were born, the salute from the Invalides was to be of twenty-one guns; 1f a boy, it was to be of one bundred and one. When the Parisians, early in the morning, were awakened from their sleep by tbe fint discharges, they. felt a moment of keen soxicty after the twenty-first shot. Bat_ the twenty-sccond reliov- ed thom. It was a boy. Thorempon they got up, dtessed themselves, went out into the streets, and, *‘ expressiog their sentiments in & somewhat valgar form,” exclaimed to one another, ** A-t-il de la chaoce ?" Napbleon L had presumptuously exclaumed, ** L'avenir est amoi ; ” but on the occasion of the birth of the Imperial Prince * every Frenchman, from the north to south, from cast to west, exclaimed, ¢ A-t-il de la chance 2 At the same time several poets ** tuned their Iyres ; ” among the number Theophile Gautier, Who was not ashamed to pen, among & number of inwfTerent sianzas, tho following : C’est un Jesus a tets blonde, Qi porte en sa petite main Pour globe bleu Lu paix du monde Etlo bontieur du genre bumain, M. Camille Doucet, ““in the absence of poetic geuius,” proved his good feeling by writing au upproptiate ode, which was published in the Monifeur. On the occasion of his christening the Imperial Prince had an entire carringe, har- nessed with eight horses, to himself and his lady attendants,—pamely, Mme. DBruat, two under-governesscs, and the wet-nuree, a young woman from Burgundy. The interesting “ Bour- guigmonne,” s sho1s called on one page, ap- pears on another as * La Bourbonnaise;” a variation which, it is to be hoped, will not be al- lowea to disigure future editions of Al Dupont’s work. However, thanks to the Bonrguignonne— or Bourbonnaise—Hia Imperial Highness had, one day in the December following bis birth, fin- ished ** one of his best repasis,” when suddenly a military deputation arrived, bringing with it the illustrions infant's nomination as grenadier in the First Regimont of the Guard. Hewas just 6 months old when he was for the first tune dressed in the uniform of the regiment to which he,had been attached. As if to keep him in countenance, his favorite com- pauions, the dons of Dr. Conneau, Gen. Floury, aad Gen. Espinasse, wete similasiy attired ; and, a3 soon as he was old enough to it at table, he ook to giving dinners to the soldicr-boys ot his regiment, presiding bimself at the banquets, snd drinking personally to tho health of the French aimy. Ouce on the lists of the army, the Prince's promotion was rapid. Always malicions, the nowepapers, after ho uad attained the rank of Corporal, spread the repoit that for diso- bedience to bis parents he bad been reduced to the ranks. Tuere was npo trath whatever in the statoment, which the Prince caused to be contradicied in the proper quarters. Like other cluldren, he was fond of toys, ond gener- elly ended by breaxing them. He had once eome capital fun with a Sardinian donkey—a present from King Victor Emmauucl—which was caused to walk up-stairs to his bedroom. On another occasion be happened, without any bad intention, #o0 to provuke thoe daughter of the Princess Metternich taat tho little girl slapped his face, upon which, drawing bimself up, he addressed to Her (nct always) Serene Highnees the following allocutio: * Mademoisello, what you have just done is very nasty; and it would serve you right if I were to do the same to you. But I won't, because you are only a little girl.” The Prioce, we are frankly toid, did not give entire satisfaction to his preceptor, M. Monnier; and on one cceasion, when Napoleon III. sud- denly entered his sou's study and found him en- aced in some contest with a ditticulty which End presented itself jua Latin exercise, the Emperor made the avowel that he himeeif had never been s zood Latin stud:nt. AL Mobmier, 1ather shocked at this species of encouragement given by a father to his not sufliciently attentive 500, said to bim, **But_your Majesty mades very good translation of Ciesar's Comméntaries;” to which Napoleon sbamclessly replied, I dido’t do it myself.” M, Monoier, who ap- parently bad read *Sandiord and Merton,” adopted the method set forth in that delighiful work for convesing instruction orally and by the natural objects, while master acd pupil sro taking thoir walks abroad. “If they went through the Bota de Boulogne be spoke to him of the vegetation of trees, oxygen gas, and the respirable propertics of this gas. He taught him.that a tree in Latin was called arbor, an oak quercus ; and apropos of quercus spoko. to him of the fourth conjugation with its genitive in us.” This display of erndition is some- what fojured by the use of the word “iconjugetion” in lica of * declension.” The kuowledge, too, of astronomy gs_mm-n m the succeeding passago is rather weak. In the evening, we are told, the preceptor pointed out to his pupil **the differeut groups of stars, the Great and Little Bear, Mers, and Venus.” Fi- nally, in the parks of Compicgue aud Fontaine- bleatl, the master (to give him the benefit of the original French) **montrait la botanique sur la nature vivante et somptueuse.” Nor must we omit to mention that, whenever M. Monuier saw the Imperial Prince climbing up a tree, he called cut to lum, parily to warn bim against falling, partly to familiarize him with one of the rules of the Latin grammar, ** Cave ne cadas.” In 1867, the yearof the **Grand Duchess of Gerolstein,” when all the sovercigns of Europe, attended by their . principal ministers were as- sembling in Paris, to see tho exhibition and to pass s few days in what some one bas_called i Le Cabatet de I'Europe,” the King of Prussis bad quartera assigned to him in tho Pavilion de Marean; nhers, *‘on every possible occasion,” e asked to sce the Imperial Frince. whose prat- tle interested Lim, and whom (Judas-lize) he ** overwhelmed with little presents.” **The King was often mot with in the galleries holding the child by the band and walking sbout with him. ‘The child could not escape from the attention of which he was made the object; but tho big Prassian belmet produced a disagreeable eoffect apon him.” Mcreover, be was “but lictle pleased with the greas First Alinister, thin (he bas since grown stout), tall, in his white uniform, who followed Willam everywhere, and mo’ moro quitted him than his shadow.” “When,” asks the autbor, the King of Prussin saw France ravaged by his soldiers, the dynasty overturned and insulted by the revo. lution, bis accomplice, did the King of Prussia thinx of the caresses he lavished on the Emper- or'sson?” Probably not.
