Thera is 8 woe in the breast of every loyal Chi~ cagoan the bitter intensity of which not even an- other fire or another panic conld augment. The impartial history of the times boars testimony to the fact that we bravely stood up nnder the Sery and financisl ordesls with which Providence and 2 gang of rascally currency-hoardera have afflict- ©od us, but it is a matter of grave doubt if any chronicle of passing events will evor record our complete recovery from the torrible shock occasioned by the recent inglori- ous defeats of our base ball club on the dismond fields of the East. The pgorge rises in our throats ss telegram after telegram arrives only to announce dieaster after disastor, and every succeeding disaster more shameful thao the one that preceded it. Qur depression s all the greater bacauso it is reactionary. The Buccess which sattended our players when thoy met the emall-fry Baltimore Club elevated our hopes, and mado many of us foolishly imagine that the base-ball representative of the Garden City womld sweep eversthing before it in the slow-going East liko s whirlwind. But wo haven't swep anytlung worth mentioning, and, judging by the sspect which the matter ‘wears just now, it is more than liksifi that the 00d people of the Monumental City will speedily harge their nine for Laving sllowed them- selves to be beaten by the White Stockings. It is to a certain extent maddening to think of tho exaltation of Philadelphis, New York, Brook- and Boston over onar distress; but even in is hour of our trouble we have tho supreme satisfaction of koowing that we efoctually burst up Cincinnati in the base-ball business, and made her hide her diminished head forever. Whether there ever will be such avother diminished head for us to crack at, is & question that will admit of the liveliest sort of debate, and he who would carry the negative side of the argument ‘would not be an over-shrewd logician either. The general sentiment of the people 13 that the White Stockings should remam Where they are, and engage in some mora houvorsblo and less slafifal employment—working in a 8osp-factorr, peddling fieh, or something of that sort. The Pmbobuiry, nowever, is that they will retarn, like g0 many prodigals. Mr. Gassette, thbough he feels the disgrace as deoply 83 any- body, sars they must come Lack and ‘endeavor to retricve their fortunes, though it is now 2 woll-nigh hopeless task. We Jear they wiil meet with but & cold reception. Seriously speaking, there is somethiug radi- cally wTong in the ciganization of the Chicago Clab. If it is not abroluce dishonesty on the part of some of the players, which is not 2t all uulikely in view of circumstsnces which have recently occurred, it is a positive lack of that good fellowahip without which no body of men, no matter whkat their pursmt, can hopo to eucceed. Thero are cliques in the nine that should be broken up without delay, and the men shoald be made 10 feel, by the summury discharge of thoso of their num- ber who sre either uuwilling or unable to fill the positions for whicl thoy are ougesod, | thst urther nonsenss will not be tolersted. It has ‘been suggested that the following change be mede, and that it be the final one until Wood has o far recovered as to be able to take charge of the nine: Zettlein, pitcher; Malone, catcher ; Devlin, firat base; Hines, sccond bese ; Deters, short ⊤ Force, third base; Cuthbert, lots fleld ; Trency, coutre field; Gleun, right field. This is probably the best change tbat can now be made. WHAT CINCINNATI BAYS. The following from the Ciucinnati Gazetie is & sample of what we msy expect for some time to come: By and by Chicago will be older, and know more. She will sce the cmpticess and foily of making the municipal credit depend upon the exertfons and good fuith of » band of professicnal athietes. Sometimes a *‘hard ball " will be,used that will knock the calcu- Iations of thess professionals out of all coberence, Bometimes the professionals will listen to the tender Voices of pecunfary temptation, £3 appesrs to bave bean the case yesterday, When cither of these uu- toward events bappens, what can soothe the pride of tho placo that hes placed all in tho koeping of “the de- feated ones 7 In its day of humilistion Chicago shouid still re- member that eha hae a tunnel; that eho owns & public brary, which in the coursoof ten or twelve yeara will bo 8 large as Cincinnati's is now; that ahe is & great summer watering-place—for particulars seo last BUNDAT's TRIDUNE; that she possesses s fino Jot of mortgaged houses; 'that Dr. Swing and Prof. Patton still reimain geeidenta within'ber Lorders; that some half million dollzrs of the ralief-fund is yet fn tio coffers of the Relic!

BNew \o_xx__ June 20.—The White Btockings fhyed their first game with the Atlantic Club o-dny, and suffered another unlooked-for de- Feat. Aithough they played s etrong fielding ame, they were very weak a the bat. Alslona’s ds wero too soro to admit of hia playing, ‘and 8D amateur catcher was substituted, who did fairly. Tho fielding and batting of the Atlantica was first-class, especially that of Dehlman sud Kodell. Malone will resume his position in the ord game on Monday. ° BCORE.

EENNICOTT CLUB TOURBNAMENT. It Chicego must be compelled to bow her head in shame whenever reference is made to her base-ball club, she can at least hold ber head high in &ir when shooting becomes the topic of newspaper controversy or genersl conversation. There are throe first-class amsateur sportsmer's associations in this city,—the Kennicolt, Prairie, and Guo§Clubs,—and they aro the envy and ad- ‘miration of lovers of field sports throughount the country. There are no such combinations of gkillfol marksmoen anywhere, and, if the sssertion is doubted in any particular soction, the easiest way in the world to solve doubts is to send on a challenge, and stand by tho result of a fairly-conducted contest, If the Prairies aud Guns fuil to sustain our reputation, wa will sdvance thoe Kennicotts with scarcely a possibility of defeat. It is difiicult to see how an organization of shooters can_loso when such shots us Abc, John, and Henry Klcinman, Aboer and Ed Prico, Ed Thomas, Ed Dow, Tom Miu- gins, George Sherman, Davo Bates, Dave Alston, Doc Egzleaton, snd a number of others Dearly a8 good, are earolled in 1ts membership. ‘Woctbor the Kenvicotts are champions of America or not, they have an ides that they can hauodle double-barreled shotguns #a well as eny other slub, and they aro only 100 auxious to try conclusions with such smbitious rivals 88 may have equal pretensions, Some time ugo thoy issued a chalienge to sach of the other local clubs, and, though both ac- copted a8 far 8S & uewspaper ltem went, there s no officias_acceptance or_rojection, snd tho Konmicotts have grown tired of waidog. Accordingly they have made arrangements for s bandicap club tourpament smong themselves, sod it will take place Friday sftenoon st Doxter Park. An elegent gold meda), velued at §125, will bo ehot Yor at ton siogle rises, and the Committeo Lav- ing the matter in charge have drawnup the fol- lowing echedule of distances irom which tbe members are to shoot: Abo Kloinman, 31 yards; John Kleinman, 29 yards; Abner and Ed Price, zod Ed Thomas, 28 yards; E. 0. Dow and W. Chittenden, 27 yards ; T. J. Higgios, S. C. She: man, Davo Batas, Tom Wilmarth, John F. W, ing, H. W. Baldwin, and John R. McCormick, 26 yards; A.A. Samplo, J. H. Whiteman, and D. 3. Alston, 25 yards; S. W. Egeleston, J. A. Kinney, ' J. W. = 3Mills, _ Aleck Price, George Bernsrd, and William Price, 24 yards ; S. B. Hopking, David Henry, and T, Beaner, 22 sards ; Matt Bounar, Frank T. Sher- Squiers, D.- 8. Moore, znd E. W. Devoe, 21 in addition to this medal, » smaller one, val- ued at 8100, will be gu: ap st _even competjtion, for single and double-bird shooting combined, and while tho number of entries will necessarily bo much smalier thap that for the handicap shoot, the contest will be none tha less interest- ing. Thess two shoots will probably give the Prairies and Guns time to consider whetber they will formelly accept that challenge or not, a8 it is open all the time. —— BILLIARDS. A LITTLE BIT OF NEWS has turned up in this department of sporting, for a wonder. Readers of Tue Tmcuxe will remember that some weeks ago the ventare of Mr. Michnel Geary, who proposed to visit France in order to secure new players, and bring them to this country to enliven billiard matiters here, way adverted to, Hs Jeft Chicago with the in- tention of takiog the trip, but when be reached New York he foun: that the business could be transacted much cheaper and fully as well from this sido “of the Atlantic. FHaving made all necessary arrangements, he hasreturne to thiscity, aud reports thacin a short time ho il bo in s position to entertain the billiard pub- Jicat large with first-class_exhibitions of the beauties of the scientific and fascinating gamo. =g CRICKET. A MEETING OF THE CHICAGO CLUB was held at the Sherman Houso last evening, and wes quite largely attended. W. H. Baker was elected Auditor for tho ensuing year, and sovaral letters wore read fror many of the best clubs in the country promising to come and play in this city during the season. Another meeting will be beld at the same place to-morrow even- ing to make arrangements for early practice. s A PEDESTRIANISN. Nrw Yorr, June 20.—Eaward Mullen stopped walking to-night at 12h. 24m. 44s., having com- ploted 43414 wiles. Ina week or two, Mullen will welk in tbe rink where Weston failed to make lis 500 miles between Sundey night at 12 and the following Saturday night at 12. PriLapELYuIA, Pa., June 20.—VWeston closed Lis 100-mulo walk to-night, winning by five min- utes. THE PARISIAN DEAD. Will the much-talked-of practice of eremation become popular in Paris,—the city which, more than any other, perhaps, feels the necessity of ‘making some uew disposal of the remains of tho dead, forthe better protection of the living? We are inclined to snswer this question in the negative, after reading the long and interesting article of Maxime du Camp on the ** Cemeterics is,” in a recent number of the Revue des Deuz Mondes. Afuer giving the history of the principal burial- grounds of Paris, and rolating the horrors that Lave resulted from the too-crowded condition of tho greater number of them, he alludes to cre- mation &y follows : Tho simplest of remedying these inconveni- cnves—the disrespectful piling-up of dead bodues, the vitiated wir and putrid water—would Le to turn_ back to the customs of the encient Romans, and build up funeral pyres {nstead of digging graves. A long cam- pufgn in favor of cremation was undertaken, but it failed, owing to public fudifierence sud the opposition of muny functionaries. Individual efforts huve not been more successful. On the Slut of May, 1857, » per- son applied for authorization to exhumo his father’a body, burfed niue years Lefore, ond to turn it. He wan 101d that an existing law probibited the giving of such authorization. Stll this noiion v ju the air; it will end by ussuming o practical form. ~Austria, it is acid, doos 1ot reject it ; and Switzerland praises it. Tho question 18 not to euforce cremation, but to Jewve it optional. The Church ia opposed to it,and et this opposition does not rest on eny ecclestastical Qecreo ; there i 1o test, in fact, probibiting the in- ciuuration of Lodies,—ct in pulterem reverteris, say the Sacred Benptures. The Church obeys, rather, the tradition of its own origin. The early Christians wers Jews convertad by tle Apostics, and Greeks couverted by St. Paul. Now, the Greeks burned the dead oniy after battles or in thnes of peetilence; and the Valiey of Jehosbaphat affords us proof that the Hebrews buried their dead. The Church has respected and consecrated by ussge the customs of her first chiidrea, —customs to which they tuust Lave been tlio more at- tached, that they were contradictory to those of the Touans, who had o cruelly persecuted them, Then Bt. Paul hss said that our bodies are * the wembers of Jucus Christ and the boly temples of the Spint of God.” There facts explin the oppesiion of, the Cuurch, ub the uovessity of {uvestigations in eriminal ceses expluns thut of the Judiciary. Yet it would Le » moade of dissppearicg vastly superior to that st present followed. It 15 betier to go o in smoke, and becurae » littie aabes, thau 1o Lecoms that nameless thing wirich even science cannot desiguate, Failing cromation, the writersuggzests the car- rying out of Baron Haussmanu's plan for alarge cometory many miles from Paris. But here, again, 2u objection presents itsclf,—almost as great agaivet o far-removed burial-ground as ogaiost cremstion, It isto be found in the strong attechmont menifested by tho Parisisns for their dead, as shown in the following curious statistics : From the dat to the Tth of December, 1873, there were 752 funerals, attended by 21,418 people. Daring the same period of time, 46,617 persous _visitcd the graves of tkeir loved ones. Tho weather was inclement during the first five dsys; yer, on the Monday, thete wero 6,837 vieltors. The weatner turued fine on the following Saturday, and continued so Sunday, when the number of visitors increased to 24,320. The daily average of isitors, in winter, is 8,964 ; insummier 11,245 ; but, on certain solomn occasions, such xa All Saints’ Doy znd All Souls’ Day, (the 1st and 2d of November) this average is lost sight of in the immense throog that fills the cemeteries. In tho samo year, 1873, it rained during these two days, and the number of people who entered tho wates of the Paris cemetaries was over 870,000, How to provide trangportation by rail for such a crowd is no ivdifforent question, though not one requinng immediate solution, £ince the number of the living who visit tbe cemeteries mustjbeara certain porportion with that of the dead who sleap thero. Sayn M. Du Comp: This reupect for tha dezd, this sort of worship of thelr memory, is ono of the distinctive chsracteristica of the people of Paris, A custom bequeuthed by an- tiquity, religious beiief, snd a tender Tecoilection of their Jost dear ones, comnbine, Goubziens, to form this sentiment, which ond caunot fail o reairk who visi our cemetories, where neglected graves aTe 80 unconi-~ mon that they miy Lecounted.

The Sflowers which the dear departed loved best aro planted upon his gruve, as though their fragrance could reach bim througl ths cold, heayy ground. Families who haves perpetual, or even temporary grant, pay o subkcription to marble cutter, Wi, fur a stated yearly utipend, undertakea to Lave the grave ket in order by a gardener, The poor people—those of the free trenci—cannot afford this Juxury, eud they tend, themseives, the few feet of ground, itciosed by a wooden railiug, where sleep their dead. They come on Sundays, bringing cheap flowers, and carrying in their wnda » small watering-pot, fiiled at the nearest foun- 3 ond they remain for hours 2t work, cultivating the mmell fonerel garden.

Pet Crows, It was my lot ouce upon a timo to bs down with fever in Indis. The room 1n which Ilay was the npper flat of an zntiquated buiiding, in 2 yather Jouely part of tho suburbs of a town. 1t had three windows, closo to which grew a largo banyan tree, beseath the shade of whuse branches the crew of a line-of-baitle slup might bave hung their bammocks with comfort. The tree way iubabited by a colony of crows; we stood—the crows and I—in the relation of over-the-way to each other. Now, of all birds that fly, the Indian crow must bear tho palm for zudacity. Living by his wits, he iy ever on the best of terms with him- self, and his impudence leads him to dare anything. VWhenover, by any chance, Pandoo, my attendaut, left the room, these black gen- try pmd me & visit. Hoppiug in by tne score, and, 1egarding me no more than the bed-post, they commenced s minute inspection of every- thiog in the room, trying Lo destroy everything that could mot be esten or carried sway. They rent the towels, driled holes in_my uniform, stole the buttons from my coat, and smashed my bottles. Ouve used to sit on ascreen close by mS ved every day, and_scan my face with his evi eve, saying, 88 plainly as could b “You're getting thinner and beautifully less ; in a day or two, you won't be sble to lift a haud; then I'il have the pleasure of picking out your two eyes.” Amid such doings, my servant would generally como to my relief, perhaps to find such & sceuo s thig: tvo or threa pair of hostila crows, with their feathers standing up around their necks, eugaged in desdly combat on the toor overa silver spoon or & tooth-brush; half-a-dozen perchod upon every availebls chair; an unfor- tunato lizard, with a crow at each endofit, getting wiurled wildly round the room, eaca crow tninking he had the best right to it ; crows everywhere, hopping sbout on the table, and drinking from toe bath; crows perched on the window-gill, and more crows about to came, and. each crow doing allin his power to make the grentest possible noise. The faithfal Pandoo woula take all thisioata glance; then would ensue a helter-skelter retreat, and tle windows darizened by the black wings of the tiying crows, then silonce for s moment, only broken by some apolozetic remark from Pandoo. Wheo at length happy days of convalescenca ceme round, and I was able to get up, aod even cat my meals at table. I found my friends, tho crows, o little more civil sud respoctful. The thought occurred to me to make friends with them ; I consequently becan a systom of feeding them after every meal-time. Oue old crow I canght, and chained to a chuir with a fiddle- string. Il was a funny old fellow, with one club-foot. He never refused bis food from tho very day of lus captivity, and I soon {aught kim o few tricks. Oue was to o on his back, when 80 praced, for any length of time, till set on bus logs sgain. This was called turning tae turcle. Bt one day this bird of freedom hopped siway, fiddle-string and all, and & whole fortnight elaps- ed before fsnw kim again. I was just begin- ning to put faita in s bolief common in India—namely, that & crow, or any other bird tha: bms beem for any timo living with human beings, i8 put to instant deatl the momont he retarnsto the bosum of his family; when, one day, while engaged break- fasting some fosty crowa, my_club-footed pet re- uppesred, and actually picked the bit from my Land, end ever after, an.il Ileft, hie came regu- larly thrice a day to be fed. Tha other crows cume with surprieing exactness at meal-times; fivst one would ahght on_the shuster outside tho window, and peep in, as if to ascertain how near- Iy done T happened to be, then fiy awsy for five or ten minutes, whon he would return, and havo suotbor peek. As soon, however, 25 I ap- pruached the window, aud raised my arm, I was saluted with & chorasof cawing from the banyan- tree; then down they Bwooped in dozens; and it was no very easy task to fillso maoy mouths, although the loaves were Government ones. Tacss pets bad o deadly enemy in a brown raven—the bramla-kite; swifter thau arrow from bow he descended, dascnibing the arc of a great circle, and carzving Off in bis tlight the largest Jamp of bread he could spy. He, for one, never stopped to bless the hand of the giver; but tho crows, I know, werenot nngrateful. Club-foot ueed to perch beside me on a chair, and pick his morsels from the floor, always premising that two windows atjesst must bo open. Astothe others, their perscuiions ended; they never appeared except when called apon. The lnst act of their aggreaeion was to devour a very fine specimen of praying mantis I had confined in a quinine bottle. TEs first dav the paper cover had been torn off, aud the mantis Lad only oscaped by keeping clogo at tho bottom ; next day, the cover was ogain broken, and the bottle itself capaized ; tha poor mantis bad prayed in vaio for once. Club-foot, I think, must have stopped all day 1o the banyan-trea. for I never went to the window to call bim without his appearing at onco with a jovful caw ; this feat I used often to exhibit to iny shipmates, who came to visit me during my 1llness.—Chambers’ Journal. EBrigandage In Italy—A Nobleman Ki1lled by Masked Bobbers. Rome, on the 29:h ult., was alarmed by tho intelligence of a tragic event. Count Clandio Taina, of Orvieto, & man about 60 years of age, brother of the Deputy Faina, of Perugia, an near relative of the Ssuator Donzetta Alsto, of Perugia, as he was dnviog home in bis carriage from tho fair of Viterbo, waa attacked by a gsny of four rufliaps with masks, and carried off to the noighboring mountsius, where & price of £8,000 was put npon hus head. The eucounter happeued on Whit-3londay, on the old post-rond between Montefiascine and Orvieto, where Count Francesco Cozza, of Orvioto, met with a similac accident some months ago. The daughter of Count Fatoa, Signora Palacco, who Lappened to be in Rome, loft immediately for Orvieto, proba- bly with the hope of eaving hor fathor by com- plying with the_terms of the brigaods.

The contractora conld not hold tta estate, but must look to 8perry only This was an unexpected turn to_affsirs, ssths defendants had relied confidently on this do- fense, but they went to trial last week bafors Judge Gary.. THE PLEA INTERPOSED after the demurrer was, that the plaintiffs b delayed the contractors for tho mason-warl and therefore delsyed the erection of the buil ing; that tho contract bad required the pliiz tiffs to deliver on the ground all the cut stone~ work specified in the contract as rapidly 83 cailed for, and to be all delivered by th 15th of October, 1872. It was, howeres proved, and indeed sdmitted, that thera wid no cut stone needed for the building ustl after the 15th of October, on account of & dels in finishing the iron-work of the first stary the buildiug, which prevented tho mssons frcd going above the Erst story. THE COURT THEREFORE INELD that the contract required the parties o fuish tho stone as fast aa called for by the contrsce ing mason up to the 15th of Octuber, but inas much as none was called for and none Wt before the 15th of October, that after that fint tha plamtifis were not required to f s stone zny faster than was reasonsble under e circumstances, #s, if any circomstances inters veced (such aa the epizootic), which redered it jmpracticable to furnish the stons saf faster rhan thoy were ablo, using ressonstls diligence. It wes therefore coneidered that the defense of delay was ot made out, and judgs ment was reodered for the plaintiffs sg! Sperry personally for aboat 34,500, the balssos due. In regard to THE EXTEA WOBK, the Judge beld that it not having been show i3 avidenca that tho defendant bad ever autha the architects and superintendents to iocos 0¥ additional oxpense other than what wasmem tioned in the coutract, but that, on lhudlh;: band, Sperry had requested Burling & Adler o to make any **extrss," ho could not be boundfar tho $1,100 additional amount claimed.
