When the Boston Club were in Chicago last vear and playing without Spulding, they tried Manaing as pitcher, but soon sent him out, and put in George Wright, who met with fair suc cess. It would seem as if yesterday was a good timetohavebroughthimoutagainespecialysince it scewed as if neither Manning nor Josephs * were any sort of use as against the Whites, who had their batting armor onand. made things very livly in the ficld. Spalding having won the toss for a change, sent his opponents to bat, and they were retired without scoring, not alone in the first inning, but also in the cight which succeeded it. Thero seemed an clement of good luckas well as good play in the Chicago’s fielding, for the Dostons Lad men on bases several times, and three times they reached third with only one mau out, but even then nobody could get hopie. One of these cases was the éixth inning, where George Wright 1ed bff with & falr-foul Lit for two bases, and went to third on Leonard’s long fiy to Hines. He wes, how- ever, left by O'Rourke and Murnan, who popped up easy flys for Anson and McVey. In h& eizith inping Schafer led off with a clean hit, and, after Joscphs*had gone outonn 1y, Wright hit onc to Spalding 2nd forced out Schafer. Leonard was more lucky, and got in along fly, which went over Biclaskl. On this Wriglit got to third and Leonard to second, but O'Rourke was good for mothing safer thana long fiy to Glenn, which was well takeu. Inthe last inning Murnan bit safely for two bases, and. having worked his way to third base, wos left there by succeséive outs by Brown, Morrill, and Mauning, all of them?o White. It was the leight of ilt Juck that three such batters showld unitedly fafl to bring home a man from third. The Chicagos opened the gathering of ruzs in the second inning, when White wes sent tofirst on called balls, and Hines followed with a safe one near the right foul line, on which he took sccond. Spalding’s and Bielaski's outs brouglt him home. The third snd fourth fonings produced blanks, but in the fifth Glean aud Burnes led off with clean bits, and Peters hit one hard for right fleld fence. e cleared the bases, but was puz out in attempting to make third on a two-base Lit. Tn the eixth inuing Ilines, -Spalding, and Biclaski tallied off good Lits by the fonmer and u two-baser by the last-named. This brought the secore up ¢ , and 2 change in the pitching seemed desirable, wherefore Ju- seplis and Mauning were charged: but it didn’t work exactly first-rate. McVey led with a two-base fair-foul; Ansou folluwed with a good one, and after White had made adean ore to left ceutre Hines and Biclaski were mufled by TWright and O'Rourlke, which _gave Barnes and Peters chances to hit safe, and the inving ended Withisix rans; and Manning went back to the fleld again. In thic cighth fnning Anson led off with 2 fair- foul and was sent all the way home on White’s Jucky liuer to right field, which Manning could 1ot et at because of the feace and which, there- fore, yielded a bome Tun. This brought the tally up to 15, where it stopped, as may be scen by the following: were all the runs made. Clapp batted b - fully, getting a double and tv?g singles. Sanki SCORE. TOE [ Bradiey, p.

E. Young, Secretary, and manifest head of the e, who rfeally knows more gbout the game than all the scorers in Cincinnatl put to- ether. The case in point was submitted to him Mr. Jolnson, the scorcrof the Louisville Club, and the resulting letter, being a privileged communication, is given below : ‘Wasminorox, July 6.—F, II. Johnson, Esq. Scorer Louistille Base-Dall Club, Louisville, .K]q[ * Your favor of the 7th inst., saying that some the clubs are crediting their pluyers with basc hits where the same ie obtained on three called balls, and asking for instructions, etc., is at hand, and in reply would say that there 18 no well-defined rule in existence for-the government of scorers in such casee, Until recently custom sevmed to muke the rule that the pitcher should be charged with an error if le:allowed a player to take his base on three called balls, I belicve the interests of base ball demand that no innovation should ever have been made in this rule. To my mind, it is all wrong to credit a player with s Dase hit us a reward for waiting and taking his base on thrce cailed balls, thereby consuining time and almost exhaust- 1ng the patience of an nudience, What we must strive. to do 18 ‘to make the game just as altractive -as possible, ‘and . erience bas tought me that this cannot be done by encouraging the three-bell game. You proba- bly remember that in 1871 the old Cincinnati nine was divided between Boston and Washington. The first game between the tiwo clubswas played in this city, and was witnesred by what wo considered Lerg_a very large audience. (I believe we gave the Bostons $455 for their share). The umpire was very strict in his interpretztion of the then existing rule, and, as eachclubeeemed to be afraid of the other, they played the waiting game. The result was that no less than thirty-one players took their bases on called balle, and 3 more disgusted andience vou mever saw, and I believe a great any of them have never seen o e since.

Yours, etc. N. E. Youxa. The sssertion that Capt. Harry Wright, the real father of the gnm% had authorized the per- nicious practice, lcd 2 TRIBUNE reporter to pro- pound to him certain qu-stions something like the following: 4 ¢ The assertion is made, Mr. Wright, that you authorized the practice of scoring a hit for three balls; is that so?" . «Not at all; I never scored a base hit when s man was sent to base on balls, and nothing of that kind cver :xpgxe:u-ed in our summaries nor in our reports to Mr. Secretery Young. I have frequently said (and it munf have given rise to the rumor) that a base on balls was as good for the side 28 a base hit, but, of course, I never scored it 28 a clean hit.” f «Of course you, remember the game where thirty-one men were sent to base on called balls?” % Certainly. I have been favored with a copy of, the letter from Mr. Young to ‘which you re- fer, and I remember the game very well. I should state, s a matter of record, that the men who went to base on balls that day were credited with hit, but it was afterwards fixed up, and they never appeared in our scores for the year. You will doubtless remember the gamme which Nick refers to. The wmnpire inter- preted the rules as he thought best, and it did send a great many men to base, but it was by 10 means a waiting game.” ] ynderstand you, then, Br. Wright, that you deny the assertion that you score as the Enquirer says you doi" Certainly, I have not scored on the system you name, and I do not know anybody who does except in Cincinnatl.” The White Stocking scorer and Mr. Spaiding, Manager, assert that they have never scen any ‘place but Cincinnati where the practice referred to prevails. SALARIES. The Brooklyn Argus contains statement regard- ing the salarics of prominent players of the New Haven nine: Pabor, Cassidy, $1,400; Nichols, $1,300; Knodell, Sew- ard, and Waitt, $1,200; Sammy_Wright, $1.100; Spence and Fleet, $1.000, und McUee $100 per month, Of the Bostons: Merry Wright, the manager, and his brother, flwric Wright, recelve $2,500 each for the season.

While this is well enough for a guess, it is due the ;laycrs mentioned to say that’_every salary pad cept one. The sums named may be more accu- rately guessed at as regards other clubs. : PERSONAL. Louisville has made contract with Charles Fulmer for 1577, and bave done o very wise thing in the movement. The Cincinnati management have engaged Theodore'Dean for the balance of this season, and Henry Keasler and W. B. Foley for next year. The work of making up the yarious club teams for 1877 goes merrily_on, and within the week last past geveral cngagements have been made public. ‘Battin’s contract with the St. Louls and his previous agrecment with the Athletic are L\l:c‘lly to make rhsurts of 2 row with the clubsnamed, and will certainly give the League Directory a chance to adjudicate. From sowme information which has beea supplied the writer from St. Louls, he i prepared to_assert that Battin's contrict with thie latter club will be sustained. If the information is untrue, then the con- clusions may be erroneous. The Bt. Lnn‘i‘s Jnnnmlxlnc‘e; a contract with Joso] . J Harmon J. Dch]mmg, and F. C. Nichols. The fatter is at present pitching for the New Tavens, and has one of the best curve deliveries in the business, The Chicago Club played two ames against him this year, makiog in the grsc 93 clean hits and 17 runs, and in the second 21 safe hits and 16_runs. That is all Tae TriB- TxE knows about Nichols’ efficiency aguinst pro- fessional batters. IN GENERAL. The Cincinnatis and Hartfords play off in Cincinnati to-day the game which™ was post- poned by rain a few days ago. In these columns last week it was noted that Mr. Hazard, of the 8t. Louis Club, had been in Chicago, maklng extravagunt offers to a couple of Chicago players. Itis satiefactory to record that he returned home without effecting any engogements. The Bostons leaye here Monday to Philadelphin, where they will play_Wednes- day. From there they go to New York, and play there Thursday withs the Mutuals. These areall the games yet positively arranged for the East. Tz TRIBUNE of & week or so ago contained a telegram from St. Louis which predicted as the view of the writer that the St. Louls _Club wonld mot very strongly attempt to win the es with the Hartfords. It was not asserted Fhat there was any intent in the management to bring about s a result, and the develop- ments of the week have made it proper to say that the dispatch was unquestionably based on sn error. The splendid record of the Brown Stockings during the week last passed have not only mede them dear of-the assumption, that they_have made Battin, John Clapp, night and go the Captain, receives $1,600;. by the Chicago Club is wrongly stated, ex- | ‘but have put them in.a very enviable position as concerns their games with the Hartfords.

The management of both the Chicage and Bos- ton‘Clubs have voluntecred the services of their men, and from the score or mnore of playors thus offered two good nines will be made up. The Boston Club of 1875, which is now all in the city, will play together, and wiil be repre- gented by the following nine: Spalding, \Vbne_,c.;Mchy,lb.;Bn.rnes,‘lb chafer,3 G.Wright, s. s.; Leonard, L £.; Harry Wright, c. {.; Manning, r. £.

A curfous fact in connection with a game of base-ball came to light yesterday, which bas a curious_bearing on the question of “selling out.” Yesterday morning bettiug was about $0 to $20 in favor of e Mutuals in their game with the Cincinnatis, and some money was being invested at that rate, when a few persous who had had opportunities to know the Mutual players pretty well forced the odds up by degrees until they were at $20 to 315 id favor of the Cincionatis. The party made no sceret of the fact that they had * fixed the c,” and that the Cincinnatis were to win {t. Then begana frantic telegraphing to Man- ager Cammeyer to keep his eye on his men, and t6 the players themsclves, on both sides, the consequence being that,if there was any job puyb b up the parties who were ~‘in were afraid to carry it out, and ne- cordingly won the game, as the Mutnal Club had a right to do nnder any circumstances when the two orzanizations meet. Itis sald more money was risked on the game than on any other this season, and the fact that the crowd who were backing the supposed *throw- ers * 1ost some money Will not cause much sor- TOW. - THE TURF. « THE DEXTER PARK MEETING, The oldest iulabitant czunot remember the tine when horse matters at Dexter Park were go lively and interesting as they now are. The stables aré literally bursting with trotters, and, for the first time in many years, the ugusually lurge area of stable-room is badly overcrowded. In nddition to the entries for the races this weclk, which are more numerous than ever be- fore at Destes Park, cach owner or driver has in tow from ome to four Thorses ot entered for the race, but kept in training until they shall. “come ’round” in shape to be sent to the front. The result, as can easily be calculated, is a collection of some- thing like 200 trotters and runners, and all of them must be stowed away somewhere. Horse- owners appear to have made : A GENERAL RUSE_FOR CHICAGO this yoar, attracted, no doubt, by the liberal purses offered, the excellence of the track, the convenience of the stabling arrangements, the reputation of the management for honest deal- ing, and the certainty that everybody who en- ters a horse will get all he is entitled to. The lerge number of entries is also due in part to the good judgment displayed by Col. Man- sur in so arranging his gurscs that a_small for- tune is not required to be used in advance for entrance-monvy. Horsemen, like everybod; clse, are not overburdened with surplus wealt] in these tirht times, and the wisdom of offering moderate-sized premiums, requiring only a moderate outlay for cutrance, is shown in the result. This is -no year for mammoth purses. Horse-owners can’t” afford to advance 10 per cent and take their chances of accidents which shall prevent their horses starting, and associa- tions can as illy afford to lang up bl% money without geiting 2 fair portion of It back in entrance-fces. Big fields make hot races, and the public gets ibe worth of its money paid at the gate to witness « FIRST-CLASS BPORT. That the sport will be first-class at Dexter Park this week, no one can doubt who glances at the programme. For the purse of $1, offered the 2:40 class there are thirteen entries, including horses brought from the East, West, North, 2nd South, and among them, who can pick the coming trotter? He is there, beyond a toubt, but the trouble is to put your hand —aud’ your money—on him. Thére is-the handsome bay mare, dJosie, cutered b Graves oomis, of Chicago, whic may prove to be another Clementine, for she is very “sweet-gaited.” There is the bay mare TRaxie, brought from Schencctady, N. Y., which is 5o well thought of by her owners that they have put her in for three purses. Nashville, Tenn., sends Maud Williams, 3 fine mare that looks like n trotter; Topeks, Kan., Border Eagle, a gray stallion with specdy proclivities; and then there ore two or three from Missourl that will bear watching. TIHE TOREE-MINUTE PURSE finds thirteen candidates. Here n§:\in is Roxie, and Parker Wineman has Lady Logan, a handsome bay mare With a pretty Wway of Ec!ng; and ~ there is Miraculous, a big ay that has mever done anything yet to deserye his name, but may “get there 7 any day. This will be a-hard race to ick the winner in,—a good race to buy the fleld’in, no matter what the fayorites may be. There is more trouble of the same sort in THE 2:85 RACE, ~ in which the twelve entries embrace some of the most dangerous and “liable * ones. Roxie turns up once more, thistime in better company. Chicago ouzht to get a good slice of this purse, if not the first money, .what with Young Princeton, George Judd, George F. and Beauty. But there’s a ghost in the wayj—the besutiful ack 5-year-old stallion Gov. Sprague, who is entered for the bigr Centennial Stallion Race at Philadelphia, and has been in training at Dexter Park under Morrill Higby’s hands, and is booked for the 2:35 race vext Thursday. Spragueis a marvel; 26 om6 cun tell how low in the iwentics he will get, and he will be cut loose in carnest in this Tace. Record is no bugbear with the owner of this splendid son of Knode Island, who would rather show the finest 5-year-old in the world than win all the money huing up in the Septilat- eral. This 2:25 race should be worth going 2 hundred miles to see- £ THE BIGGEST FIELD OF ALL. The purse of $1,250 for the 2:80 class has caught the biggest crowd—seventcen belng the nuinber that have put up $125 each for the chance of gbtting a piece of the total. What the pool-biyers will do with such a collection of trotiers is a bard conumdrmn. It is uscless to speculate in advance as to.the probable winner, and the desdest of “pointers’ wouldo't be worth much in this race. In THE 2:27 CLASS . there are elght entries, and a finer lot were never got together in one race. Mr. Goodrich's Gran- Fille, » Chicago horse, is among them, and, judging from his performances in Michi- gan, will mpot be last under the wire. The speedy’ stallion Gen. from Joliet; - the ponderous but swift g T4 Mazomanie; whose gait is singularly like that of the famous stallion” Smuggler; the gray mare Eertie, the chestuut stallion Monroe, Lady Byron, Lady Griswold, and Loafer—all of these will n&sn.ke 2 race that will spoil some of their records. TOE PAST ONES. . Inthe2:23 class Morrill Higby has Little Frgg; John Trout, of Boston, the fast mare Net- tieBarlew; and Michigan seuds the two slask- ing black mares Cozetts and Lady Turpin. Itis saie to look for a hot race, but not 50 €asy to name the winner in this party. . Two of the purses, the 2:%0 and free-for-all, did not fill with the requisite number of en- trics, and as Bodine, Badger Girl, and Gen. Garfleld did not happsn to full in together, Col. Mansur will undoubtedly- srrange a special purse for these big. fiyers to go for,—pro! ably next Friday, To take the place of the 2:3 race, 2 handicap steeple-chase is set down for WeJncsdny‘ The Assotiation pool-selling will be under the charge of Maj.

Sexton counted 2 and missed on two cushions, Slosson following with nothing. Slosson ¢Bunted 1 and Sexton nothing. Sexton followed with 2, and Slosson missed 8 round . table. Slosson failed. Sexton played the balls around and into the upper left corner, where he played them loose, making 9, and missing an easy one. Slosson played them together in the same corner end missed on a masse. Both fail- cd and Slosson failed again. Sexton made a good cffort 8t & 3<ushion draw but migsed, and Slosson- came close to 2 good four-cushion shot. Sexton missed. Slos- son made 1, and missed a simple carom. After some unimportant play and several bad shots on both sides, Slosson,by good work; got them in the lower right-hand corner, and run 47, making some delicate masses. Sexton scatter- ed the balls, and counted 2. Slosson counted 2 on good straight cashions, and Sexton run theni together on the upper cushion, and, work- ing them into the upper rlghv-lm.nd cor- per, held them there for 27 before they broke, when he missed an easy one. Slosson pleyed some gboml broken shots, keep- ing the balls in hand, but failing to cornef them. HIs twelfth shot in_this inning drew the. ball half the length of the tablal)hur he missed after scoring 14. Sexton scored 2, and was kissed out on a cushion effort. Slosson began to warm up, and, by pretty cushion work, harbored them in the upper left, where he kept them. Slosson together in four delicate shots, ing W pl:gcd them and cornering them - scored 23, and then drove them down the right- hand cushion tight together. He broke them at 63, but on the sixty-seventh shot he had con- trol of them again. Working them along the lower cushion, he corraled them on the lower left on the scventy-second shot. On the 100th shot they were slightly broken, but on the 106th he was working them nlongr the lower cushion, missing a difficuls masse. The game stood then -] 851 to 65. Sexton led off with some fine efforts, Dut as gnany_kisses kept the balls out of the corner until_ he scorcd 8 and missed. Blosson failed and Sexton made 5. Slosson worked them together at the upper end, in five shots, and scored 6, missing a cushion shot. Sexton nade 3 and missed a_difficult straight cushion, and Slosson followed with 8.

Sexton, at the conclusion of the e, played some ex- cellent fancy-shots, making a close follow around the table to the ball in the corner; fly- ing betwoen two redsa ball apart, and coming back and caroming on three. After scycral other brilliant plays, the crowd adjourned for Ilemonade. EXHIBITION GAMES. F. B.

American Manners and Customs from a ‘German Standpoint. Chicago Daretm, 4 Would yon leern what i3 becoming, Merely usk the noble ladies. I'wasreminded of these lines {rom Goethe’s #Tasso” when.I read in TnE TRIBUNE Mrs. Jane Grey Swisshelm’s letter from Leipzig. There can be no doubt that the lady posscsses the Leenest discrimination of what is proper, and, for this reasom, the judgment of Mrs. Bwisshelm fn regard to the position. of ‘women {n Germany, Frence, and Italy, as well as that of the men of these countries, wasa painful one for me to hear. From her letter I learned, to my surprise, that those Italians, Frenchmen, and Germans who have thus far claimed thetitleof “ gentlemen™ are rcallyrough, brutal fellows, who make it a business to in- sult respectable women, snd who™are ouly somewhat kept within the proper limits by the power of American muscle. Before I comment on what Mrs. Swisshelm has to say about the position of the ladies in Eu- rope, as well as zbout the rudeness of the Eu- ropean men, I will give. here an abstract of the most fmportant parts of that Ietter. After dofng this-the writer continues: Although I'admitted at the beginaing of this article, by quoting Goethe's verses, that the’ women have superior judement in regard to good manders, yet I will take the liberty to ex- press i AIY OPINION IN REGARD' TO MBS, SWISSHELM'S _ LETIER, and make an effort to rebabilitate the European and particalarly the German men,who Inveg«:en described as being deyoid of all decency. Mrs. Swisshelm has, aceording to my idea, committed two mistakes, which often oceur in the writings of tourists who have yet seen but little of other _countrics, and who are rather quick and decided in their judgment. She bases her opinion on the fact that her views of life, derived from, American customs and morals, are correct in all ‘particulars, and must, thercfore, be the stand- ard; and, sccond, she is inclined to generalize, which meuns she takes as the custom of the country what she has seen here and there. Itis not easy to avoid both mistakes. The celebrated author, Prof. Buechner,who wrote the able essay on “ Force and Matter,” fell into the same mis- takes. Tourists suchas Buechner do a great de*! of harm, because it is known that they ha¥ethe best of intentions.” They cause wrong conclusions on one side and veation on the other, and under _certain circumstances they do more toward endangering friendship between wo . nations than writers who are known to be prejudiced against the country which they de- seribe. To preventan estrangement between the Anglo-Americans and the inhabitants of Germany the Freie Presse’ took a decided stand aeainst Buechner’s letters when they were first uplished, and to prevent the - taking root of iased opinions I mean to discuss 2t this time Mrs. Swisshelm’s letter. When Mrs. Swissbelm asserts that nothing ltr‘:‘ss{ than a revolution could make it possible 8 z . RESPECTABLE YOUNG LADIESCOULD PASS ALONE and without molestation thgough the streets of Germany, it i3, according to what I know of German-life, an cxagzeration. Young girls and young women can, except at night, when re- spectable women are supposed to_be et home, pass unmolested through the streets of even the largest cities, though they must be carefal not to excite, by flirting, suspicion that they belong to that class of girls who seck aequaini- ance with men, The women of the demi-monde in Europe gre in the habit of making their con- quests on the streets or in public halls. Women and girls who do ndt care to be mistaken for these priestesses of frec-love are particularly cautious in places where those *ladics »’ are ad- mitted. Now, if young American ladies who are used to the frce-and-cesy American style, and very often flirt more than is necessary, sct o little free in Europe, and stare at the men, then the young scapegraces who run. after every pret- ty face take libertics which, ordinnrilyi they would not indulge in azamst respectable adics. hunter, or even to justify him, just oslittie am 1 inclined to let rest upon all the German men the accusation of being.rude. Whoevér com- mits an offense against the mauners of the country in which he lives has to take the conse- quences. Iwill try to convinee Alrs. Swisshelm b} % TWO EXA¥PLES § that she is doing wrong—frst, -by living accord- ing to her own fashion without considering the manners of the conntry in whichi she lives, and :thea by complaining When she excites orre- jeeives offense; and,” second, by p: ting the | obtrusiveness of 2 few youngsiapegraces who “Bave been ineited by thc strauge Behavior of ‘American youngiadics as i rudeness of all the imen in Europe. Suppose a very respectable lady of one of those islands where they use but little more than a fig-leaf to clothe tiemselves should ivisit the United States in her ‘‘national cos- itume.” Would it be surprisiog if she drew the inguisitive glaaces of ' the men? "This ‘jllustration may be strong, but it is nevertheless' appropriate. Let us suppose further thets European tourist metina tour. through the Souti some of those .numerous women who mot only smoke tobucco out of \dirty clay pipes, but chew snuff, and suppose “this tourist were to nseribe the bad habit to all the American women. Would this generaliza- tion, tais reference to an occasional bad habit, HaFe it a babit of the country? Certainly just as little us the assertion of Mrs. Swissheln that all the Germans, Frenchmen, and Italians, are 9sa general rule obtrusive and rude towards Ithe ladies. e And in how far are now the other assertions of Mrs. Swisshelm, that THOE GEBMAN WOMEN 7 accupy an oppressed and bratally cnslaved po- sition, justified?_Is the German woman hitcned up with dogs and oxen by the ment Isshe sold 25 chattel to the highest bidder? 3Must she, walking along with downcast eyes, feel honor- ¢d by the salutation of men’ with whom she is not even acquainted? These questions are best. answered by a description of tuie position ‘which the German woman occupies. toward her hus- band,—a position which Mrs. Swisshelm, ac- cording to her letter, cannot judge with any degree of certainty. The German woman is in the real sénse of the word i THE LIPE-PARTNER OF TIE MAN. She divides with him his sorrows and joys, and—I can point out this with pride—sheis fust as true a lif@-companion as sheis a good mother. She neither avoids her duties us wife nor does she try to escape the duties of a mother, As a true life-companion the wife of the German workingman and peasant honestly ghares the burdens of these men, which' in the thickiy-populated portions of Germauy are, of course, much harder than those ofthe work- infiz;nen in the thinly-populated, rich Amerjca That the German laborer uses his wife as AN AND{AL OF BURDEX, and hitches her with dogs and oxen, is such a Dbold assertion that I fuust designate it as an old woman's story, and am surprised how it could ‘e nceepted by unewspapers edited by sensible people as a picture to illustrate Germen life. 1 have Praveled over large portions of Germany and Austria, and have tarricd about two years among the various sectivus of the Province of Prussia, where the condition of workingmen is relatively at its worst, but nowhere have I seen women used as animals of burden; on_the con- trary, I have found that everywhere the women are assigned to the easicst work. To be sure, among the peasantry in Germany the worlk is harder than here, but the. cooler climate per- mits much severer, bodily exertion, which is made necessary by the crowded population and the consequent difficulty of earning a living. : TIHE MUCH-MENTIONED DOG-CART {oes not, however, belong in the land of myths, nor is it unbeard of, like the useof women a3 animals of burdep. Milk dealers and other small business men who are unable to procure a horse keep large dogs and hitch them to small hand-carts, and lead them by walking alongside Lolding the shafts. 1t is probable Mrs. Swiss- helm has once scen a female vegetable-peddler with a-dog-cart, but lsv:lu!x sig(tlnu she could see ‘ere in Chicago nearly every day. 2 .

I maintaio, on the strength of facts, ti {n no country are more love-matches made than in Germany. While in Fraoce _so-called marrringes of convenience are customary, and e in_ America young_girls oaly too often inquire whether the claiwant can offer them a nicely-furnished house, in Germany marriages are 1n almost every instance the re- sult of personal affections " The fon for finery in Germany has zot ripenc to such an. extent as in this country. 'he man is not afraid, as here, that he may be able to feed but ot to clothe the woman; on the contrary, he knows that he gets an_industrious life-conipaa- fon; and the girl, 0n the other hsad, does not expect that, aiter marriage, she will have alife of sweel repose; alis 15 reedy th shave With her As little 25 I am inclined to excuse every girl- husband joy and sorrow, to be able to look satisfaction at the close of & ife full i e chlldhen.

Swisshelm and Prof.Buech- ner, ]udgc too subjectively and superficially, awaken false conceptions among thefi- country~ men- and irritatethe sensitiveness of critics, and domore harm_ than good. \v: eople are all sinuers, and are glad to be enlightencd by noble women as to what {s proper; but the style of instruction and judgment must be a woman~ like, mild, and just one, otherwise it excites the opposition of the brutal barbarians such as we whoare born in Europe unfortunately are, so- cording to the descriptions given by Mrs. Swise- helm. R. 3Michaenis, ————— HOT NEW YORE. - Baxtor Street in 8 Sweltering Night. New Tork Sun. July 13. - Before 9 o’clock last night thousands of per sous in this squalid. quarter bad gone out P:w the open strects to rémain until morning. All along Baxter and the adjacent streets the inner edges of the sidewalks were lined with blankets and bed-ticks, upon which half-nude children were sleeping . so close together that it was ungossublu to step between them. They almost lay over onc another, entirely without cover, and in many cases with a cellar-door, or even the stone flagginz alone for a bed. In one place eight children were asleep on a patch of " wooden pavement, 6 feet long by 3 wide, and ‘Dbabes scarcely 6 months old, Wwith naked limbs, lay exposed to the sky on pieces of blanket thrown over cellar-doors. The men and women and older children had not yet thought of retirinz. A Jarge, empty cart Served os & roosting place for a dozen roisy boys, who, perched mpon the driver's seat, or Iyiog in the bottom of the Lox, shouted, sang, and told stories, sume of which were about the gallant Custer, who, one of the youngsters main- sni:km}, was “a bullier Indian fighter than Texas ack.” An hour later it was curious to sc¢ the women and girlsof 15, sitting on the curbstone, and making their toilet for the night by twistiug up their buir and throwinga shawl arouad them. One after another they: Iay down in the opea air, beside the children, and regardless of the noisy: throng that almost Jostled them in ‘passing, to all appearsuce dropped comfortably asleep. Gradually the uoisc in the streets ~died out. A bevy of oung girls who lad been sluging “The tar Spangled Banner ™ and other patriotic alrs fell alcep one after anotier on a cellar door, and the sounds of shoutingand laughter ceased. The young story-tellers curled up in the cart where they lay, and were soon in and. Then the men &xlled off their boots, and while some placed beds on the sidewalk to sleep on others lay down on the stones or boards, anc a few braced themsclves up in the corners of -the doors to act as sentinels over the sleepere. “So they sleep cvery night,” said 2 police~ man, “and we don’t disturb theri. They couldn’t stand the heat indoors—it would kil them. A funny thing bappens once in s wkile. There is an old fcllow down thestreet here who sleeps on his cellar door’ every might, Heis very emaciated, and looks as light a3 a feather. He'puts Limself into 8 kind of bug that comces up to his neck, and then throws a plece of net- ting over his face to keep away the bedbugs. One night an officer saw him sleeping so, znd o - bed-bug Y.rj‘infi;ta bite him. But the old fellow is so thin and bloodless that the bug bad to in- sert Lis bill through the netting into his nose " stroke reported, many of which must several times before he could draw blood. waked the old fellow up, and he saw the offiver ‘standing over him in the mooulight. ¢ Now go away,’ s2id he deprecatingly & you know you oughtn't to be tickling my nose with your club.’ And he wouldn’t bilieve that it was a bedbug that had disturbed him.” o . The scene along Baxter strect when nearly all ‘its denizens were aslecp on the sidewalks “and in the doorways was strange cnoagh. A person could, in some places, hardly step without smghlltnhg ngams% B;{ficp{n: fum.

In the fraction of & mlx?:w the sleeping street scemed to have been changed into a bedlam, and & crowd of half-naked, yell- ing, and gesticulating men, women, an il- dren surrounded the contestants. Ten minutes luter all was gs quiet as before. . Atinidnight several partially dressed men stole, like shadows, around the corner of Baxter strect, and lay down, muttering curses on the heat, upon the patent pavement surrvunding the fountain in the little square, which, to the touch, scemed not yet to have parted with the heat of the blazing sun that shone upon it all dsy. 5 New Fork Tribune.
