The visit of tao Eartford Club o Chicago this time has proved 1o & manoer disattrons to them. Tuey had rather good luck 1n Bt. Louis, and bad every rcasop to expect it Lere. inasmuch &8 the Whites wers known 10 be in bad trims, put they met stronger batting thar they havo Lefore seen {hie sexson, and tae result is that they will jeave with two defeats and cne victory—jast what Tage Teisone predicted for them one neek ago. Yesterday morm:pg promiced auything but good weather fo~ bail-tossing, and, a4 a conse- quence, only & small nuwber carad to wiiness tho contest. In the afterpoon, however, ths gun shone out besutifwly at times, and tho weather was 28 fine as could have been asked Quring the grester part of the geme. Play was called at 8:30, with tie Harttords first at the bat for the only timo in the four games bers. They were quickly retued, a spleadad stop bv Hines murking the fielding. Glenn led off for tha ‘home nine with a strong hic to Fergueon, whick ' was muffed. He then stole for second, and reached third on Harbidge's overthrow to Bar- dock, and thea czmo bome on Devlin's hit to Carey, which was badly muffed. Devlin took second on a wild pitch, snd came iome on Hines long drive for two Lases. . In the"second inning York led of for the Hartfords apd was sent to his base oa calted balls. Remsen followed with a fine bit on which York rescbed third. The latter came home on Carey's out by Peters to Gienn, and Eemsen got 1o thurd on the play and scored on Cummings’ Lt 'F'wo ruvs, 0e ea:ned. Inthe laiter haif of 1he inning Golden led off wiih a2 out, sud_Warren aud Bielaskr followed with safe hita. They went to tuird and second on Atiison’s w:'d throw in, 2nd ahon Devlin hit hard both men came bome. DevLn got thod on Harindge's wild_tarcw when he aitempted to steal, and came home on Hines' fine hit. Three ruws, two carned. In the thurd wning the Hartfords could not £eore, bt ke Lome nine were moro fortunate. Hast.ugs led of with an oat, snd was fulowed by Wavsrman,who made twoineflectaal sitempts 0 hit the Lail, and thew, soeing ahigh wild piten on the way, exvag Iy hreacissed Ins batatat, zndran to st while tbe ball went over the catclier’s tiead. It wasa nest way ont of the str.kes difficalty. Golden ard Warren tol- safe hits, and the bases were fail when Bieiaski strucs 1o Carey. The latter threw badiy to homa-piate to caich Waterman, and let inthe ran. Goideu tben sc:red on & wiid pitch, aod Warren did she same on Derviio’s It to Fer- fmsop. which vas well gathered; vut muded by Xils. Three rens, nove earaed. In tho fourth inuing I'eters put in & fine two- baser and sveor to thurd on Ilastings' eafe hit. While tie latter was steeting sccond Harbidge ovartnrew and let the ruouer to third and Petars lome. Lissticgs afierwards scored on Warren's base it S Iu the gixth 1nping York scorea thelsst run for the Hurtlorcs by getiing hus base on forcing Iblls 2t seccud, re .cung third ou a bad throw by Hustirgs, ar.d home on Fergus i In tho preeeding inving Glenn scor ron on lus own base bit, followed by Hines' long drive to right centie for two bases. Tho sixth, seventn, and pioth inniogs pro- dnced ove rua each for Chicago and uone for the visitors, the eud of tho game shiowiog a total of 141uns off 21 clean hits, an exlubic which en- titles wbe Whites to coosiderable ciecic. They have aaring the week faced boih Bond and Cum- mings with resnits very encouragiog to their friends; and they scem to be domng now just what would have Lrouzbt them up near ihe top of the table if thev bud begun it earlier in the seaeod. Nearly all tbe fie.divg work was dose yesterday by Gieun, Hines, Peters, and Golden, and none of them have an error cha:ged. The Datung was led by Peceis, ns usual of late, though Glenn, H'nes, and Warren, ehow well on ibe record. The iatter specially distingnishod humec!f by & coujlo of had hite to 1ight ficld. ‘Waierman hasnon bzd four games on the Chicago grounds, and it 1 fair to say to him, in ‘view of bisrccord at third base, that he.ought to improve iu his fieldieg or else take the oueroas porition of right-fielder. However, ho may show up differeutly this week. Tbe game plaved yesterday by the Hartfords was excepiionally pocr a¢ the bat, Devim ap- _Feaum! to be & perfect puzzle to them. His de- livery was moch better wheu supported by Hast- ings then whben Qmoo faced bim; bat'in any case five bave bits is a lamen abls ebowing for & clib uke o Nutmegs.

BUNEOISTS AND IBMS. To the Editor of 1he Chicaco Trisune : Curcago, Sept. 17.—I came over from across the Mlissiseip,i to the Lumberman’s Coavention. 1 thought I'd see the Exposition, go through the tunpels, tske o look at the crib, eee the First Regiment at McVicker's, and maybe buy the town, if the whole thing didn’t cost too much. Now, you see, I read Tue Cmicaco .TRIBUNE, and I was posted as to how strangers are taken in by bad men and d&clading women, e0 I fastened my wallet in my boot with pios, and my wife she bent the points 80 they'd scratch hard and I'd miss it if any one reached for it, and she sava tome: *‘Now, when you get to the ci:y, go first to a barber and get your nair cut and your whiskers trimmed, and brace up and pat oo s little atyle. You aro too homely for the women to trouble, and the shab- _ by bunioes will never dare speak to that cont ; tho hat is doubsful, but che coat can be depend- ed on.” You see, 1 wear goud clothes. I Lad a new euit cply threo years azo,aud onr talor came {rom New York, aud has made my clothes 1or thirty years. Well, I never was so deceived in my life as I wa+ about Chicago.

When did you come up from Chillicothe?"” Says I, “Just now; when did you come up yonr- self?”” Says he, hurrying off, *‘Last week."” Says I, *‘Hold on; 11 come around and see you,"—but he aidu’t hear, Just before I got to the Tremont another real baodsome fellow came along bevide me, siapjied moe on the back, and says, ** Well, you've 2ot here at last; thoupht you were coming yester- day. Oh! beg pardon; taought it was Uncle Jones from Fort Madison.” **No," says I, **it ain't Uncle Jones, but I'm from Fort Madison; come in and I'll tell you ali abont him.” Bat he was in a husy, too. £ dido’'t wes.e any money on barbers after that ; when such style miatakes me for & relation, I'm all 1ght in looks. The next day matteis were better sti Ibad two inviuations to dinner, fiom strangere, but wa had mads arranpements with the Tremout for board a: liberal rates. and I liketo get my monay’s worth, but I feit bad to refuse these invitations ; Ikoow it hurt ther feclings.

He asked we for §5 to hire a carriage with, and he'd leave bis diamond pin ull he came back.

HOW FRAME HOUSES OAN BE BUILT IN CHICAGO. Tothe Editor of /he Chicago Tribune : Cricaco, Bept. 18. — There is something “rotten in” Chicago, or - rather in the workng of the Fire-Limita ordinance. A fow weeks ago I observed that asmall boilding of wood was being ereoted mnoar to Halnemann Medical College, I npotified Supl. Barley, but the work went on until it was finished a few dsye ago. It 18 a *ccal office,” the dimensious about 10 by 14 feet. In order to ascertein why such a building was aliowed, I applied et Supt. Bailey's office for petm.ssion 10 bolld an office on Twonty-second street, but was infurmed that such s buildmz must ba buwilt of brick or stone. I inquired why the buikding on Cottage Grove avenue was allosed, and was informed that a building of that size, sud even mach larper, could be built snd in- closed on all sides 1f built for the *‘ purpose of storiog wood and coal.” Now the building alluded to was not built for any such pargose, and any pretense of the kind was a fraud, wili not hold a ton of coal, nor balf & cord of wood. Moreover, other men who have erected %\:: l:nch oftices bave been obliged to build of —Either thero has besn nnwarranted favoritism or cu.pable veghgence. I was intormod that the city law officer had given uo opinion that ruch uildings can be buil: for the (osteasibie) par- pose of storing wood and coal. If such 18 the case, the poor of this city need not compiain that tney must build an ex) ensive brick house on thetr cheap lot. Al they have to do is to a4-ply for a permit to Lu.ld a ** ehed,” inclosed ou ait 8ides, * for the purpose cf etoring wood acd coal” It may be 12 by 16, or 20 by 30 feer in dimensions, When erected they can put a few pounds of coal aud pars of & cord of wood in it, and then mave their family into it Under the present construckion of the law, no power can keen them out of it. Thit grest boon 10 the poorer ¢ asses, who caal = ford to build of brck or stone, and they oug to 1ake advactage of the sstuto lega! de.ision that permits the erection of frama baildings auywhere 1n the cit, provided it is pretom‘x’ed to be nsed for the *storags of wood decox" . 3L H. THE DEAP-MUTE SOCIETY OF CHICAGO. To the Editer of The Chicage Tribuns: Cricaco, Ill, Bept. 18.—There is alitlo so- clety in Chicago which, in & quiet lny.'ia doing much good, but of the existence of which prob- ably npine-tenths of the cizizens are unaware. X refer to the Deaf-Mate Societs. A large number - of mutes reside in the city. In Japuary, 1874, they orgauized a society. their object being to secure & room or rooms, where they conld m_oue regularly for religious services, for lectaring purposes, and for social intercourso. Mrs. J. AL Raffington was elected Yresident, and bas continued to fill the office in a most acceptable manner ever Eeince. ‘The Secretary and Board of Trustees are 1a- telligent men, laboring earnestly to promote the prospenty of the BSociety. The writer, a teachier or deaf mutes, aud familiar with the sizn language, lectured before the Sociefy in September, 1874, aud agan a few weeks ago. Much progress has been made during this time. 1In 1874 the Scciety met i a Jargo hall, tempo- rarily secured for the purpose, and 'in almost every way unsmitzble for such a gathering Now it meets at 83 East Madison street, in o pleasant and noatly-furnisbed room. A library hss been staried, and already con- tains over 100 volumen. The Society mee:s every Wednesday oveoing at half- ast 7 o'clock, and every Sunday afternoon at 3. The ypossession of a room by the Sooety enables teachers from the vaiious State institutions for the deat and dumb, aond other wen who csn address them 1o their own languags, to leoturo to them, and to con- duct re:gious services for their benelit. Lvi- deutly this, together with the lectures, debates, and fiequent occasivns for g0- cial iotercourse of the members them- selves, promotes their education, mentallv aod mora.ly, and epables them to understand better their duties and respousibilities, thus making them better and moce useful ci.zens. Should any of the readurs of Tue TRIBUNE de~ sire further information with repaid to the So- ciety and its work, it will ba given them cheer- fully by calling at Room 10, 89 East Madison street.

Respectfuliv yoors, M. Bexnyeg, Fire Marshal LECTURE BEFORE TUE LAW COLLEGE Delivered by Emery A. Storrse Mr. Emery A. Btorra, of this city. yesterdsy afternoon delivered beforo the students of the Law College an excallent lecture, of which the following is a brief abstract ; Mr. Btorrs eaid that in the profession of the law there was and conld be no such thing a8 in- fallible authority. We did mot reid Blackstone a8 the moni would his creed—with nugnesuoning belief and implicit confidence. Every lawyer thought for bimaelf aod reasoned for himsalf. Blacustone’s definition of law, *‘arule of civil conduct prescribed by the supreme power in the State commanding what is right and prouibiting what is wrong,” was clearly def. ctive bacanse— First—A Tule prescribed by the supreme power, etc., which affected an individusai or a particalar case, would not, in its proper sense, be a law. Second—The words ** civil conduct " were 1n- definite and uncertain. Third—It is not trae that, n order to consti- tute alaw, the rule prescribed by the supreme power must * command what is right and pro- bibit what is wrong.” A statute must be obayed a8 jnw, aud it is 1w, although it may command the doing of what 18 very wrong and probibit the doing of what 18 altogether rigut. No court would think of interfenng with a8 statute oo any such gromnd. A bet- ter definition, and the one generslly agroed upon by more recent writers, was, ** The lawis tho general body of rules which are sddressed by :he rulers of o political suciety and which are generally obeyed.” Blacksioue's idea of the foundations upon which povernments rest was radica:ly. unsound aod pernicious. He szys: **The founda.ions of goveroments ate laid ir the wants aod fears of individnals; that the necessity of protection is what keeps man in subjectioo, and that ap agreement tor pro.ection on the one hand, and obedionce on the other, is aiways understood and implied in every State.” This doctrine is unsouod 2nd pernicions. Out of it grows the idea of & parental government. Bentham combats thia doctrine and bases gov- erpment on 1ts olaim to secare the greatest happiness to those whose interest is in questioa., ‘This npsets the faaciful theory of an impled contract batween governors and governed. . Blackstone supposed that the historical io- quiry, how, 23 o matter of fact, have poltical gecrets grown up, was a hopeless one. 8ir Hen- ry Maiue has shown tbat it is not, The sources of law wers, first, the statates ; gecond, reports and adjudged cases. The sovereign was origmallv the Judee, Hence pre- cedents preceds l:gislaiion. Thereis no ob- jection to judiciary law so long ca the Judge subgtitutes for his osn opinion the concarrent opinion of otiers. Ihe differences between de- cisions and statutes were, first, the formor are ex post facto ; second. tuey are implicated with the peculisrities of the parucalar csse to which they are a_plied. To those differences may be traced the objeciions to judiciary law ; Srst, its bu'k : second, the difficuity of ascertaining 1t ; end third, its incousistency. # I:s merit consists in its flexibility or capacity of being adapted to any now combination of cur- camstances that masy arise. A third source i8 castom, which means *the uniformity of conduct adopted under similar circamstances on many successive similar oc- casions.” The law considars only snch castoms the observance of which by the parties affects their legal position. The authority of custom is notn it8 mere obaervance by those who have adopted it. Custom makes ita suthority legisla~ tive. A fourth source.is divine law, Blackstone, epeaking of lsws generally, and laying doan what is apparently intended as a rule for our practical gnidance, lays down the rule ** that precepts which emanate from God are superior iu obiigation to any "other,” and that no human laws are of any validity if contrary to these. He would thus make the Divine Iaw the primary, and whete it exists the exclusive, source of law, | placiog it above the expres:ly declared will of the sovereign body. Suppose a Judge construed a statute in this way, and refused to eaforce it because, in .his opnion, it was in conflict with tho Divine law? He woald be impeached. There sre thousands who think that uoder the Divine law ma:riages are indissoluble. Suppose that some Judge who thus thought refused in a (x‘;ope_r cage under the statute to grant s divorce? bo is to decide what is the Divine law? The troublo is that we cannot elect by the peopla, nor have apj.o.ntod by the Guvernor, any one authoritatively aathorized to determine pre- cisoly what the Divine law s, nor suthorized to declace the Divine intent, Ouo of the greatest evils of the present day'is excessive legisiation. This grows in part out of = paternal Goveroment, in which no maa is ex- pected to help himself, baot Government is looked to to keep them all. Hard times are to be cured. not by harder work and by closar sconomy, but by leiiahhnn. Buckle has sa1d that the statutes which have conferred the most lasting benefits upon man- Liud baso oeen repealing staiutes, The statute of frauds has given ra: tonumberless decisions, aod is really only declaratory of the common law.

A marked oxhibition of thia growing e.il is tho tendenev fo legislate by way of Constitutions, The new Constitution of thia State is full of pro- visions which ought never to find a place i an organic Ia 'I'oe attempt to regulste the mauagement of corporations, fo provide for the hauling and storage of grain, to prevent special legislation, &c., were all iuatance of ihis charac:er, and would doubtless prove trouble- some in the future. Written Constitations were yet upoo trial, and if they ever succeeded, it would be by dealing with general principles, de- fining geperal rights and dnzies, aflixing aod lim- iting Lbe exercise of powars, and leaving matters of detgil to be regulated by lecislation or time, 28 the necessities of tha hoor might regaire. Tlheso topics nera aot intended o be dizcaesed. They were suggested mercly as lawyers must meet them and ultimately have a larze sharo in their statement and solution.

Come, Narcisse, pioche.” And pioche, or pitch into things with a will, did Narcisee. Accident led him to the good City of Guaoajuato, iu Mexico, because he had heard that once in a time a French barber had made a fortune there. Possessed or a sl.ght smatter- ing of Bpanish, acquired duriog o year's ap- preniiceship in a departmental town near the Pyrennes, Narcisee had very little difficulty in mastering the language. The couffeur soon found & place in the shop of a German barter, and as Narcigse was polits, assiduons, and pro- ficient, he made his way rapidly. Of all the cities of Mexico, Guanajtatd holds the first rank. It has poching provioctal about it. All duy long n the streets of (imavajuato there is found an evar-shifticg crowd. Miers, cladin their peculiar costume, jostle Indians laden with country troduce, while armeros with troops of pack-mules, charcoal mercnants, wa:er- carriers, and dulce sellers, are constantly min- gling in their tratfic. For four long years Narcisse toiled, and saved his wages. One day his employer diea, and the sbop and gocd-will of the establishment were for sale. The whole of Narcirse's fortune amounted to 500 pesos. The price asked by the wexicza wife of his late master sy 1,000 peeos. ‘It was a good chance, aod uot much outof the way,” thougzht Narcisse. ** Would his Reverence the Padie Domivique,” who, as the widow’s man of busneas, had the shop for sale, * would be taka half cash and the rest at six and twelve months, holding the plice in the mesu- time a8 security 77 ** No, dec.ded.y, he would oot. ‘They all had the utmost confidence, nay esteem, for Signor Narcisse ; but such tuings as time-barguns were not to be thougnt of in Alex- ico. They would, however, give Siznor Nar- ciese o fortnight to think over it. If the bar- gain was not conciuded thoo. why, rather than avate their terms » reale, tney would shat the soop up, and Signor Narcise was at liberty to go and open & £hop elsewhere.” « Diantre !” @n:d Narcisse Isidore. ** That old crow, Padre Dominique, i at the bottom of 1.

With what Lit.le money I have L willnire & room somewhere. Never fear, Na:cisse, you will getalong. Some of h:Senoritas will want you —znd perhaps some of the old clientels wi.l 1all to your lot. Ah! what say you, my boy, to mak- 1ng love to the widow Dolcres ? Aoat ! Decency would require my waitinz a year for that. Tuen, Madame Dolores, thouxh stli gnod-looking, 18 50 fac, and 1 am slraid has a bad temper.

Don Miguel was one of the most carerully-dressed men iu Guanajuato. Tae gentieman tcoi his place inone of the twochaiis, requesting that hia ha.r mightbe refreshed. Nar- cisse—who, 23 Lecans hus calung, was volubiliry itsclt—spoke of the death of the masier, the prico of the shop, what he would like to pay for it. and his 16210t at pot becoming the purchaser. “Ab!” suid Don Miguel, **you have 500 pesos? Quite a nice Litls sum. Now listen, would you double it 7" “Donble it ? of coarse; that is, by honest means.” “Nothing easier. Bet on my black game- cocl ; I have wagered no end of ooces on_hm. He is sure to win. Don Ramon’s cock will run away before my Cid.” “"Thauks, Signore, for your offer ; but cock- fighting is not in my Lne. See you, an accidental peck mighr carry anay the fruits of 8 great deal of labor,” replied Narcisse. * You bave no heart, no courage ! " continued Don Miguel. ** Prav, as a capitallst, do yoa kesp your money at the banker's? Bankers fail sometimes.” “No, I do oot keep it at any banker's.” * You don’t carry it about you, do you?” in- quired tho gentleman. Woac Naroisss might have answered, as he tapped iovoluntary on his breeches pocket, was never heard, because just then 8 s.ight accident happoued. Texcoco, as be waa called, was an Indian water-carrier, who overy day brought two large earthonware jara of water to the snop, aod poured their cootents into & stons resrvoir which stood oo oue side of the room. Eiher ‘Texcoco had diank too mnch pulque, or his foot slipped, for he upset fuliy a gallon of the water on Don Miguel's snos-white pantaloons, 80 that quite a hittle cataract poured | dowo on his_whitesilk stockings aud aeluged ; his neat glazed leather pamrs. “Awkward beast! Left-banded scoundrel! Stupid lune ! Low hound of a peone ! shouted the mao 1n the chatr, ay, in a terrible rage, he seized his cane and struca the water-carrier over the head. The ludiaa cringed uader ths pun- ishmeat like o cur, and the Llow was aboat ba- ing repeated, when Narcisse interfered. ** Come, cowe, Signore ; Lbis poor devu_ did not do 1t on purpose. 110 1s very sorry for it. It might have becn my fault. I ougut to have told you to take the other chawr. Pray, now, do not strike him aoy more.

He wonld have looked on indifferently when two men wera fighting it out neatly with swords, but the 1dea of striking any one with a stick was a brutality, according to his notions.

AB the surgeon stripped tae man of Lis clochiag, now. stif with blood, Narcisse scomsd to be awakoned out of Lis letharry, and though speechiless, made s:gus that his pockots shonll be examined.

Ewidentiy Narcisse understood him. and he sank back ex- bausted on the bed. The next Gay a terrible fever set in, poor Narcizso was delirtous, ana raved about toe pretty hittle momse in the Baugnolles. On the third day Narcisse was worse. lie hung between life and death for o weest, then slowly mended.
