Special Dispatch to The Tribune. gr. Pavl, Miun, Oct. 14.—The champion White Stockings made their appearance in this dty to-day In a game with the Red Caps, 2nd the large audience in attendance fully appreci- ated the fine cxhibition of the visitors. The ome nine played far below their standard, while the Chicagos’ play was perfection. The Chicagos ecored 19: Red Caps, L. * The Whitcs play in Minncapolis Monday and ‘Widnesday, in St. Paul again Tuesday, and in Milyankee Thursday, which will probably finish theit season’s Work. TOE CHIOAGO CLUB. Jiepstches show that the While Stockings are st prescutin the extreme Northwest, some- where in the wilds of Minnesota. They will re- turn hete Thursday or ¥riday of this week, and, if the present weather coutinues, will probably disband f the season. It is, however, on the cards for tiem to take a trip down into Indiana ifthe expeced Indian summer ” shows up. They will irthe latter casc be joined by the St. Louis Club _:nd the two will play games in In- dianapolis, Tere Haute, and other cities. The many fiends of Fred Andrus, of this year’s White Sockinge, will be pleased to learn hat there is a too:l prospect of his being en- d to manag: the Milwaukee Club of mext Jear. He Lusiudan cxcellent dri'l for that osition this scawn under Mr. Spalding, and Kpows the business well. Beside acquaint- ance with the matager's dutieg, Andrus has this season proved limself & fine player, and es- pecially a superior batter. The Pacific Life. the only sportin of sny account inCafifornis, s et gé’eefing crooked stock. There will then remain onl fie ; scoundrels in the business—three ms! ui fis and two in Hartford. 3aybe the League can find some way to dispose of them as well. FROM THE CORNERS. be-‘A corTespondent writes to ask, * Who are the i t batters in each Leanue club this year; that 1. lease name the mun standing lghest in each club.” The season is not yet precisely over, but enough {5 known to say that the following men cad the scores in the clubs named: Barnes, Chicazo. Hall, Athletic, Pike, St. Loni . Higham, Hartford. Clinton, Louisville. O'Rourke, Boston. Jones, Cincinnati. Start, Matual. The Rochester Ezpress bas the following: “Mr. Brackett, the organizer of the Syracuse Stars and_Auburns of Auburn, has been en- gaged at $125 per month to organize a first-class professional club in this city for the next season, 1o be called the Rochesters. The ecapital stock has been fixed at $5,000.” This is al} very well, but when the Ezpress adds the following it over- steps the bounds of truth: ¢ ane-finll club stock Eglys; a Rochester man is a stockholder in the Chicago Club, and for the $500 which be in- vested last fall he has already received $400, and the stock is exccedingly valuable for next season.” The fact is, that not even $1 of the ftuck of the Chicago Club is owned in Roches- er. The Philadelphia Mercury thus records the latest development in Atbletic Club matters: At a meeting of the Athletic Club players the rather chimerical offer was made to give the play- eranotes- for their indebtedness, pavable in one year; but, as it was said that the payment,of those notes would depend on the financinl success of the nine next year—a rather dubious matter—the offer was unsnimonsly rejected. The players then made the proposition that they would accept the said notes provided that they were indorsed by some responable parties: but this was refused, ~ And it ceriainly secros very strange that tho Athletic Club shonld beallowed to pass out of existence on account of a trifling indebtedness. Many of the stockholders of the Club have expressed heir will- inguess ta pny an nssessment or suhscription to poy off the debt, and, in case that fails, cfforts cait be made to dispose of the 150 sharcs of stock remaining unsold. The &tockholdens should sce that their interests shall not be sacrificed. * Inlast Sunday’s TRIBUNE was given a dis- cussion of the League Constitutionas it governs forfeited games growing out of the failure of o club to carry out its engagements. The author of the letter, a gentleman well known in base- ball circles, advocated, substantially, that the «lubs which withdrew forfeited their games, but that those games must be counted in the cham- plonship record. The letter was considered by &cveral managers, and from an expression of opinion received from them it appears that that view of the case {s quite likely to be discussed in the Leazue meeting. It is fair, then, to sce what efle.t the ruling referred to would have on the record. It would make the clubs stand as follows: Games Games won. lost. Chicago... 3 6 1t St Loais. 19 Hartford... 21 Boston. 20 Lonisville 36 utual. 40 Athletic 56 Cincinnati . 56 THE CHAMPXO‘HSH[P. Only one game was played during the week last past—Hartford-Cincinnati—and that affect- to the Cuicagos on tueir capture of the cham- pionship: “A game played in Chicago Sept. 4% settled the question of the championship lor the scason of 1576, and secured for Chicago the coveted token of sapremacy in the national e. Thereis the more satisfaction 1n this from the fact that the successiul club is largely madeup of Westernplayers, and that among them the elcment of rowdyism and the inputa- tion of dishonesty have beea couspicuously ab- sent. It will e a graiiiying reflection t - zago ecthusiasts that the best club in every es- sential particular bas won the championship.” A QUESTION DF SCORING. Mr. F. H. Johnson, scorer o the Louisvilie Club, has made a very excellent and complete summing-up of the record of that organization, which is published in the Courier-Journal. Mr. Johnson aavances the idea that “an exact ree- ord" of ficlding merit can be obtaincd by takng the percentage of errors made to put-outs ant assists combined. This is an exploded fallacy, and rests on the assumption that these two items comprisc all the play. In fact, every error to hold a thrown ball entails not only an error oun the player who mufls it, but deprives the man who threw it of the chance of getting credit for an assist— ihat is, every titne Gerhardt hus muffed a ball from Hagrue this year, he has spoiled the latter player’s chance for a credit. Will Mr. Johnson assure us that L. has kept account of all these matters? In ixct, neither be nor any other scorer has done so, and consequently it Is er- roneous to say that the system 18 exact. Itisa decided Jeaningz in favor of first basemen and fielders, who very rarely assist, and an unfair- ness to the rema:nder of the nine who do. There are several other defects in the svstem, but, with them all, it may approach correciness more nearly than any other plun, and is, to an ex- teat, a just one. ANOTEER DEFAULTING CLUB. To the Ediior of The Tribune. JHICAGO, Uct. 12.—I notice in your bese-ball ®mews Sunday last astatement regarding the Mutoal Ball Club of Juckson, Mich., claiming that the “ business engagements of some of the players” necessitated the disbandment of the nine. This is wrung, as'it was “financial " em- barrassment, the managers being indebted to pearly ail their plavers—owing three Cricazo boys from $100 to $30 cach. Tuese players-arc members of last_year'snine as well as of this year, and it wowld be well for the sporting citi- Zzens of Jackson wo come up to the * scratch ™ and pay the honest debts ol their club, and re- member that the winter is not the summer, and the sums due would be a great beaefit to the *busted ” players. Respectrully, A Vier. CONCERNING HONESTY. ‘The Clizper calls upon the League in the fol- Iowing language: What is the League Association golng to da at its Clovelsnd Conventiva in regard to xuspected play- ers? This is 2 question of vital imporignce to the interests of profesz.onal playing for the eeason of 1877, and the League will do well to give it deep cons.derstion. Last winter, when we asked the League Directors why it was they threw out the Phitauelphia Club for afleged dishonest practices, 2nd then, with glaring incousistency, re-engaged xome of the most marked men. the reply was: ““We thought it best to forgive thew their c-ooked waye, and to trust to the sujngcmof our L e Jaws to make them play straight tals eeason. ” The folls of this line of cction hzsbcen shown by the experience of the play of 1876, during which more crooked work has been privately indulged in by players of more than one of the League clube than wa: ever before known, lute and direct proof of fraud cannot be procarea; bat_nearly conclusive Zmor by circnmstantial evidence is at command. When you know that Your 1 vers {rcquent the haunts of gam- flers, that they arc interested in pool-oper- BLoos, wal LT Bss0Clalons are with men who live by poul-glmbllng. you must certainly know also that_such men a%e very likely to engage in crooked work: and when, also, in this connec- tion. you see errors committed at opportune times ihe saccess of a pool-ring arrangement, suf- 1icient circumstantial evidence 16 then ut command 10 prove dishonest play. Errors at the hands of suca piayers as Start. of the Mutuals, Fisler, of toe Athletics, Wrizht, of Boston, Clupp, of St louis, Spalding, of Chicago, Fulmer, of Louis- ville, York, of Hartford, Gould, of Cincinnat, ana of twenty other players we might thus single ont ax exa:nples of marked integrity of character, are but the incidents or contingencies in the game; ‘but it i= a very wufferent matter when you sce jm- rtant errors committed by players whose daily bits of Jife. their associations and surroundingy, are all unfavorable Lo a reputation for square play. ‘The mietaiies the majority of managers of profes- siona) clubs have Litherzo made has been to place Zelding and baiting skill as the primary cssential of profcssional’s ability to do successful work in the field, and to mzke integrity of character a sec- ondary consideration, when it ehould be the first. The question is: ‘*Will the League again commii the blunders in this respect they aid this season®” 1 they do, then we neced ot look for any decrease in the dishonest pro- femsionals for 1677, There are players in the e nines of 1876 who are as honest as they are skallfol and intelligent, whose presenco in the team je a credit to the yame they play and the clnb ong Lo, Dot there arc others—a emall mi- Tonity, we are glad to sa¥—who are just asmnch s discredit. Now, these latter should be rvoted out of the profcsxional arcna, und if the Leaguc As- saciation intends 1o carry outthe refonn of exiet- ing abuses which it profested to be required to do, it will throw out all marked men. Until thiuis done, any restoration of public confidence isout of the question. The Lengue clubs growl at the f2liing-off of the patronage in such base-ball cities 25 New York and Philadelphia, and wonder why it it, 'when the fact 12 plain and palpable fo ordinary obeervers that the canse is an entire lack of confi} dence in the honesty of the play of the contestiy nines of the two cities.

THE TURF. s JEROME PARK. Nzw Yomk, Oct. 14.—A dclightfal October sun and the last days of the fall meeting of the American Jockey Club brought a large number of people to Jerome Park to-day. The sport opencd with the free handicap sweepstakes one mile and one-eighth, which was won by 3ill Bruce, with Tigress sccond, and Eavpt third. Time, 1:5). The other starters were Madge the favorite, Invoice, Leamington, Second, Swezetlips, and Pera. In the race for all-ages’ stake, one mile and a half, Parok, St. Mattin's, Virginius, Warlack, and Rhadamathus started. Parole was a great favorite, sellng in the pools for more than all ihe others vadined. The favorite won easily, with Warlod and_St. Martin’s ranning a dead Licat for thesccond place. Time, 2:35. The rtace for the muiden S-year-lds, three- (uarters of tmile, was won by Princeton, with enzine secad and Lucifer third. Time, 1:191¢. The sellins race, one mile and three-quarters, Lad six starers: James A, Galway, Ambush, Partnership, Swster of Mercy, and Rappahan- nock. The ree was won by Partnership by half alength, Gaway beating” Ambush by a” head for the secord place. Time, 3:1215. 3amcs A sold in the pols at $10.25 to §3 for Galway, $2.50 for Arvush, and S1.55 for Partuership. The closiz race was the handicap steeple chese over fic usnal course, abouc two aud three-quarte: miles. The starters were Dead- head, Bullet Risk, Resolute, Capt. Hammer, Scamp, and Jxmore, and sold in the pools as named. Thfirst two hurdles were wel?otnkeu, Oxmore buled at the third, but his rider kept Lim on the course, and taking the water jump the horse fell, severcly injuring both hind legs, and was Iad to the stable. Scamp bolted at the stone junp aod was afterwards out of the race, which™ ro¥ was with Kesolute, Deadhead, and Pukt. The two last named took the juops in finc style, and drew abead of Resolite. but ju the meadow Deadhead fell, in- juringher rider, Mearney. Resclate now rushed Tor Billet, and the close was very exciting, Resoute winning by a lhead, Capt. Hamnmer third. Tme, 4:22, Ic the sccond race, 15 per cent of the stake +will be dvided between St. Marting and War- Jock. Tere will_be an exira day’s racing the first Satrday in November. A CHANGE DEMANDED. ‘The Hening L’ost, about the only afternoon paper itthe country that ever heurs of any sportiniews, offers the following suggestions 10 turften as a sort of hint about nexi year: Now fat the season for turf sports is practically at sn ed, it may not be amiss for the newspapers, \whiich & months have concented themselves with chromeng the events of ile ceason, to take anotnelack, and endeavor to impress upon the minds L! trotting-park managers the notorious fact thi, asa rule, lucy poseces less originality in plaging and carrying out their yearly cam- ‘pafndlun euy class of men on the face of the carih, The ting interest alone, Iu this country, and especslly a the Northern States, jnvolves the an- ntal sspetditure of about $2,500,000, in the way o1 probiuns offered, (o eay nothing of the vast amowts emended in the constfuction of tracks andAe builiings that must_accompuny them. 1t word nalurily be suvposed that where so much -1al is at stake, all depending dircctly on the y/antary support of the public, eome originality i caterirg ‘to that public would be dieplayed. at sach {s not the case. On the con- fary, every tratting park in tbe conutry moves ou, yeat after yeir, in the same Zroove, the proprietors secming 10 regied ftay a religions duty never to give to give the leople a chance to se¢ anything new or original in the way of turfl amucement. There are plenty of zay-headed men in this coun- try to-day who have aended trotting mectings on every possible opportutity since they were in short clothies, and never seen anything but the stereo- tvped ““mile heats, to hargess, best three in five. ™ Tow long would a theatre o= other place of public amusement exist if conducted on such principles? “Hamlct” is undouhtedly a food plaz, bt n one supposes that it could be prodace at any thoatre nightly for twenty-five years to & crowded houte. lanagers of trotting parks complain that the people will not turn out to witncas contests of speed, even when the most poted horses in the country are to compete, but in the midst of thelir wailings 2hey never stop to inquire the cause, sim- ly going down into their ggckeln for more money, or abandoming the matter in despair. it is hightime that the managersof trofting parks act onthis fact, which they have not failed 1o notice. Next sezson fet ue havea change. A cat many people who will not attend 2 mecting gr four days to witness one kind of eport, will be | on hand every day If therc is variety. Let those Laving the matier in charge arrange poxt year for & variety bill, . 1t vere.

Such a programme, rounded off with a reasonable number of contests to harness, wonld be both novel 2nd attractive, and the manager who ehall first in- troduce it will not fail of being rewaided, not only by the money of the people, but by the benisons of all who patronize turf sports and iake an interest in their success. ‘To o considerable exteat Tue TRIBUNE can indorse the above, but it lifts up its most vigor- ous protest agninst any trotting of 3-year-olds or other colts. Every wise horseman has been greatly scandalized of late by the attempt to trot yunn‘%surs when they onght to be as free as air, and at an age when they should never have known the weight of a harness. The 9- year old race in the Breeders’ Meeting at Phila- delphin was au outrage. If breeders of trotting stock wouid stop longr enongh to examine the effect of forcivg ruuning flarses, they would quckly abandon cntering for colts’ purses. The runner begins at 2 vears and lasts, maybe, two more,—perhaps he may last to 6, but a very large pro&omou of ranners arc never heard of after they reach 4 or 5 There are mo Goldsmith Maids, American Girls, Lm.'xs, Dexters, Hamblctonians, Ethan Allens, or Bleck Hawks un\onf the runuers, and it i sure that there never will be. Tt Is just as sure that if the forcing process—the colt race and carly training—is itroduced into trotting, there will_ be no more trotters vo outlast = third of Goldsmith Maid’s age. Give us, then, all the novelties you please in the wny of weirhts, distances, or breeds, trot the Percheron staliion if you want to, but don’t let us haye any more colt stukes. SALE OF RUNNERS. % Tuesday last Col. L. A. Hitcheock’s stud of runners was.sold in New York and proved the Jargest sale of the kind ever known in that city. The' former owner is a Boston gentleman, who retires from the turf on account of ill health. The following horses comprised the stable, and below will be found the prices they brought at the sale: Limestone, chestnut horse, 6 vears old, by War Dauce, 32,500 (bought in); Gaiway, the winner of the selling race at Jerome Park, chestnut horse, 6 years old, by Concord, $6005 Quits, chestnut mare, 6 years old, by imported Eclipee, $390; Springlet, 4 vears oid, by import- od Australian, §450; Leap Year, 4 years old, by imported Leamington, £250; Vineland, 3 years oln, by Virgil, $300; bay colt,2 years old, hy Virpril, $1,500; bay colt, 2 years old, by Planet, §70; bay colt, £ years old, by Melbourne, Jr., $510; bay colt, 2 years old, by Baywood, $225; bay colt, 2 years old, by War Dance, 3255 bay filly, 2 years old. by War Dance, $110; bay filly, 2 years old, by Baywood, $180; bay brood mare Flora McIvor, an old racer, by Alexan- der’s Lexington, $200; bay brood mare Julia, by Revenue, $180. Five of the colts were sold on their pedigrees slone, as they are at present in Kentucky. . DUST. The close of the trotting seasom at Dexter Park will take place to-morrow afternoon, when two good events will be offered. The purse for the liorse which comes nearest to three minutes in three trials will bave several entries and will afford a good deal of eport. The match race will niso add to the intcrest, and Mr. Mausur’s % ch‘;tennlul dinner ”? will aid in drawing a good crowd. M. Gougon, the Russian horseman, who leads the trotting-horse interest in_his own country, visited Chicago lust weck. M. Gougon took & drive to Dexter Park, and expressed himsell 55 pleased with_the Lorses he saw there, and particularly with oursystem of grooming. This entlemau is makinZ a tour of inspeetion in merica, with reference entirely to horse mat- ters. He takes back with him a full assortment of trotting specialties,—sulkies, harnesses, Doots, stockings, toe-weights, ete.,—and adver- tizes for a mare with a record of 2:22, who can make that average in a two-mile heat. WRESTLING. BAUER BEATS MILLER: MeCormick Hall coutained about 400 people last evening, aud they were drawn thither by the expectation of seeing Miller and Bauer wrestle a maich. About half an hour after the time appointed, -the men appeared, and, with Mr. Ottigoon asreferee, commenced clasp- ing hands, which appears to be the preliminary to all rough-and-tumble wrestling. After thirty-four minutes of hard, perspiring work, with three or four dog-falls, Miller managed to get his opponent in a double back-fall, from which he secured a victory. After a liberal rest the pair met again, and this time, as was to bave been expected, according to pro- gramme, Bauwer won a fall, Miller uroppmg over on his back casily enough. The third round was an interesting one, barring that both men were thoroughly”tired. Bauer won it and the match in twenty minntes, ending matters by o very pretty fall. Theintere:t in the afiair may be understood from the fact that ot more than $100 in pools were sold on it, and that the pool-scllers, thoush iinvted to come to the hall and sell there, rofuscd. Coming out of the hall Jast evening a reporter was told by a betting man that, a3 early as 4 p. ., the laiter was told who was to wu, and requested to go over to the hall and pick up what bets he could under a guarantce that he was to lose nothing. Surcly the gamblers did well to keep away from this affair. g Coucerning the men, it may be said that Bauer is by all odds the best wrestler and most scientificin _the business, while Miller is the heaviest and strongest man. The latter has by no means the skill of Bauer, but makes up for it by muscle and dead weight. If both men wcre to come together for & fair wrestle, it would be a very pretty match. At the end of the contest, both men were called for, aud both professed themselves willing to wrestlo again. If they do meet, the “tip” as to who will wincan doubtless be obtained as easily again as yester- dnf)c",oind the man who bets on the affair will be a A CHALLENGE. Last eveping THE TRIBUNE received a Jetter signed by George E. Colson, No. 170 West Mol roe strect, challenging the winner of the Bauer- Miller mateh to wrestle for 8500 to $1,000. The writer asserts that hie can be found at the num- ber above given auy evening. Inasmuch as the name mentioued is not found in the directory, no particalar faith—that is, not more than i3 due the ordinary wrestling match—is placed in the letter here. PEDESTRIANISM. SLORT STEPS. A pedestrian named Forrest proposes to at- tempt to walk fiftecn miles in two hours and thirty minutes to-morrow evening in Union Hall, corner Clark and Monroe streets. John Ennis, of this city, has published a challengs to walk any man in America 100 miles for $250 to $500 a side. He seems to be gun- ning for Miller, the wrestler, who once offered to walk any Chicago pedestrian. Heary Schmehl, Jr. is anxious to walk Weston If a 500-mile matéh could be brought about. Inasmuch as thelatter was in England at Jast advices, there is very little likelihood of a match at present. It is quite as well so. O'Leary, the Chicago pedestrian, has arrived in London, and promptly mskes himself heard in the following chailenge: Editor Bell's Life—Sin: Having arrived in this country & few days ago, and being desirons of forever settling the question, ** Who shall be champian pedestrian of the world®” will vou be Lind enough to give insertion to the following proposition: For a wager of not Ices than £100, nor in excess of ten times that amount, I hercby agree to walk against any man in England— Vaughan, of Chester, preferred—the following distances: 100, 230, and 500 miles, *‘best two in three™.to be declared the winzer. I any pedestrian 1n this country, or elsewhere, considers the first-named distance too short and the last_too jong, then I will strike out both, leaving the 250- mile stretch to_settle the guestion of champion- o pedestrian of this city, | lenge of the latter was not issued until it was Jeafned that Sexton and Slesson wore marching into town. It shuts them both out; and in con- senting to play Dion, who has never won a 600- point three-ball game, who has not won a match of any kind in about six years, and who is an_oppo- nent not at all to be feared in long games, Garnier is spared the necessity of refusing’to play Slosson, as well g Sexton, once again. Could cither of these younger players have, by some hocus-ocus, squeezed in a challenge, Garnier would probably have braced himself back upon his announced re- tirement of upwards of a year ao, for he would be apt to recollect, however lightly he may hold Slos- son, that Sexton has never yet failed to beat him in s long game. To properly appreciate this one must know that Garnier belongs to another paper toan the Clipper, and uses somebody clse’s tables than those at present puffed by the Clipper. — LA CROSSE. CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AT TORONTO. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. TORONTO, Oct. 14.—1ne la crosse match for the championship of the world took place here to-day between the Shamrock Club, of Mon- treal, and Toronto Club. Twelve thousand people were present. The interest and excite- ment throughout wereintense. The Shamrocks were the favorites, and sold in the pools at 10 'to§. The Torontos won the first game in nineteen and-a-half minutes. The next two heats were decided no game. The second gamne, which occupied one hour, was won by the Shamrocks. The next and third zame was won by Torontos, in six-and-a-half mmutes. Dark- ness coming on the match was declared & draw, the Torontos winning two games and the Shum- rocks one, the Torontos retuiving the cham- pionship. TRAP-SHOOTING. ANNOUSCEMENTS. Ira Palne and Wheale, of Cleveland, are natched for §500 a side, to shoot at Buffalo on Oct. 25 or 26, at 100 birds each. Paine had the privilege of naming conditions, and chose Hur- lingham rules, fifty birds, twenty-eight yards, and fifty at thirty yards. Foresters' Club will provide birds. Mr. J. Jenn, of London, has written to several American sporting papers that a person named Colc_is aughorized to match somebody, at pres- ent in doubt, acainst Capt. Bogardus at trap- shooting. The lctteris wonderfully indcfinite, and it i3 fair to prophesy that nothing but talk will come of it. AQUATIC. YACHT RACE. NEw Yorg, Oct. 14.—The race for the Cape May challenge cup, surrendered to the New York Club by J.J. Laubat, was brought toa cloge this morning by the arrival of the Atalanta at the Sandy Hook light-ship two honrs and fifty-six minutes in advance of the Idler. The Atalantu is owned by Willlam Astor, and the Idler by Samuel J. Colgate. ———— PRACTICAL CHARITY, Tv the Editor of The Tribuna. CHICAGO, Oct. 14+.—lv these latter days. when the thoughtful and earnest are asking the way in which they ,may most ellectively J* write themselves as one who loves his fellow-men,” a new ficld for living labor will be greeted with unfeigned approbation. The * Homeopathic Dispeusary Association” proposes to open this new field and walk therein. It has already es- tablisbed, in the central part of the citv, a Homeopathic Dispenaary, to which the indigent may repair for gratuitous advice and medi- cine, and where they may find as good counscl a8 can be found inthe city.

Particu- Jarly will it care for those who bear continually little forms distorted and discased, and who, because of the grim spectre of poverty, which lurks at hand, are debarred from obtaining the needed surgical belps and apparatus, and who, without this aid, can sce no Lope of relief from the burden they bear. To them it shall be more than father or mother.’ It proposes a visiting committec in each ward, who shall re~:M. with delicate, sensitive touch, those who hns= 11 &he hard, unsym- galhcuc gaze of the ...d.iude, and caunot ring themselves to aputy for needed help, turning their faces to the wall, and enduring suffering until such time as they may haply pass beyond the thin, strong veil that shuis’ their misery behind them. For such worthy ones, and those who are too ill to appear at the Dispensary, there will be provided a corps of competent visiting physi- cians, who will attend them at their homes. It shall stretch forth a strong, helping hand to those who cower in the byways of life hope- less; to those who have fallen by the wavside in the weary march of life, and lie bruised and blecding, despairingly crying to heaven, “Is there uo help for us?"” Remembering that no soul has found its way to earth whose mother has not stood at the very pates of Death, it takes woman in its tender care, and, finding out for her quiet, cheery, sunny nooks, ministers to her with censeless watchfulness as she passes the hours of mortal agony.

A the Editor of The Tribune. Cuicago, Oct. 14.—Having noticed in your columns an article which conveyed the im- pression that there was not, and has not been, a free Homwpathic Dispensary in this city, I beg leave to state the following facts: The Dis- pensary connected with the Hahnemaon Hospi- tal was organized and opeuncd nincteen years o last Aprll. Since that ume it has never been closed to the sick and poor, and more than 100,000 frec pre- scriptions have been made. Medical and surgical treatment and the necessary medicings have always been given hout charze. The dis- pensary, located at nd 239 Cottage Grove avenue, is open every day, is in charge of & com- Detent corps of &,{wsidnnz and surgeons, and is now averaging 600" prescriptions cvery month. This institution bas always depended upon the charity of the friends of homeopathy in this city and vicinity for its support. It mustand will continue to do so in the future.

More than s yearago Garnier retired from the arena, declaring that he wonld pl:! no more public games. This_resolution he modified, after the need for it had passed by, b{ restricting his retire- ment to match games only; leaving himself free to participate in tournaments, Under that resolution {xe bas once forfeited the emblem he now holds, and which Lie has never woa by play, and yet, in deniance of that resolution, he has received the em- blem back again by the same process of forfeiture. In other words, he has entered into a match, as challenger, when it suited him to do s0, and has declined cballenges to matches when it did not suit him to play them. Rather than play Sexton or Slosson, he will now play Joscph Dioa.

CHicaGo, 1870, ——— De=cline In Building in New York. The great decline in the building business cannot fail to be noticed by every observer who is familiar with the past of New York. During the year no large edifices have been commenced in any part of the city. For the first time in a lung gseriod, Broadway is unobstructed by mounds of bullding materials, This is a gain to stage-drivers and pedestrizns, but a great loss to'a trade formerly most prosperous in this metropolis. Buildings are still going up in the side streets, but they are mostly modest structures for residences, cheap in cost, and more likely to be rented at g profit than the stately brown-stone fronts 6t former days. Inthis class of enterprise” there is no great falling off from last year. Wages and the cost of materials are now much lower thanin 1873-'14, and the owners of large estates sfill think they can do nothing better than i - prove their property gradually by efecting cheap and desirable houses. Their calculations are probably not far out of the way. There will always be a fair demand for residences on this izland, but it will be some time before we again see the rents up to pécent figures. ‘Wa may now 1 or along pauscin the work of beautifying the with those grand, mg:ss- ing piles which have been reared within the last five years on Broadway.

H. — TWOMEN IN ITALY. Italy first, toward the closeof the Middle Ages, permitted to woman the free exercise of- distinguished talents (says the New York "Trib- nne). Olympia Morata lectured publicly in Fer- rars, the universities of Paduaand Bologna gave chairs to female professors, and the study of medicine, the higher mathematics, and classie litcrature was open to the sex. Shakspeare’s Portia fs less than a full type of the accom- plished Italian womanof that dav. At this moment, three or four hundred years later, Ger- | many, France, and cven England are not much in advance of the public sentiment which then accepted such arecognition of woman’scapacity; while no modern university has ventured to go so far. Already, in the present gencraldevelop~ ment of Italy, the women are preparing to claim their ancient privileges. A mnew intellectual activity is stirring in the sex; not only in literature and art, also in politics and sociology, we are peginniug to hear softer voices. Tue popular sympathy with the mar- tyred Bulgarians, which expresses itself through iinmense mnass meetings in Rome and Naples, no less than o London and Glasgow, bas given the Italian women an opportunity which some of tnem bave instantly scized. It is_true, indced, that the Italion poctess, Signora Fua-Fusinato, bas_frequently made brief addresses before so- cieties; but we cannot rcuall any previous in- stance of a woman addressing a great assem- blage of the people. At the meeting held in Rome, in the Apolio Theatre, on the 3d ult., the Countess Chiocci appeared upon the platform, and presented a written audress, which she re- -quested to have published with the proceedings of the meeting. It was accepted, and the ad- dress would have been willingly heard by the awlience, had the Countess not lost her courage, * A week afterward an immense multitude as- sembled in the atrium of the monastery of Santa Maria la Nova, in Naples. Thousands upon thousands of all classes of tne people were present. The third speaker was Miss Matilda Caselli, who displayed such remarkable spirit and eloquence, rousing the vast audience to such _uncontrollable enthusiasm, that the re- maluing orations in the programme were in- stantly sappressed, and the resolutions adopted by acclamation. From the report of her speech we find that Miss Caselli was no less daring than etoquent. In Naples, the so long Bourbonized Naples, . she cried to the new I)eople Wwlich risiug out of the former lazzaroni : * The-Cross, the emblem of bumani- ty, can have no brothernood with the Crescent, the emblem of barbarism! We repu- diate the Jesuit policy which now favors the Crescent. as we reject his nuthodn; who usurps the name of Vicar of Christ!” To appreciate the force of this utterance, it must be remem- bered that the policy which emanates from the Vatican has been hitherto unfriendly to the Oriental Christians, and, therefore, so far as it may affect diplomacy, favorable to the Tarkish side of the ~uvstion. But the freedom of speech of Miss Ca._ui is_hardly more remarkable than the readiness with which it was accorded to her, and the manner in which it was received by the sudience. There are still many turbid ingredi- entsin the life of Italy, and, if Italian women are as wise and as patient as they are able anad elo- quent, they may render noble service to their country. GALLANT YOUNG MEN. She was very pretty, (says the Washington Chronicle), wore a pleasant smile, and, when she entered an avenue car last evening, there were seven young men who immediately vacated their scats, and delighted themselves by casting alternate lances at the fair one and the vacant spaces. She took the nearest seat with a nod to all and a bewitching smile: six young men bowed and sat down, while the young man bowed and stood up, and imagined himself a martyr. She carried a beautitul child in her arms, and it was very playful. One young man thought she was its aunt, and two others were quite positive she was mnot its mother. Meanwnile “the child amused ftself. It climbed, aud erowed, and laughed, and played, and the lady laughed ana petted it. Onc or the young men, o sacrilegious wretch, colmmenced bumming, “Iwish I was a baby,” when the child, kicking in a playful mood, knocked a playful mood, knocked a handicerchief from the lady’s lap on the floor. There were four of the young men who made a simultaneous dive for the muslin, and two got it; they came np smil- ing, neither willing to relax_his grasp, and two baunds were extended toward the fair one. An old lady on the opposite side tittercd, and the young lady_held the chiid in froat of her face and biushed. The young men looked at each other and then atthe - Their mouths anl eyes opened; ea:h handed it to the other; something fell upon the floor, and the two young men silently departed fromthe car. The other_ young me looked out of tne windows, and somebody whimpered, * It wasn’t 2 hand- kerchief.” A BASE TRICK. Strangers often remark that Detroit ladies scem to have a great fondness for carrying gold watches, and any person walking ten blocks on ‘Woodward or Jeffersoun avenues will see, if it is afine day, at least 100 ladies with old chains hanging down to the watch pocket. But, is the watch there? Ona Woodward avenuc car yes- terday there were half a dozen ladies,and only one gentleman. Satan must have put him up todoa mean thing. Taking out his watch he Jooked at it, shook it, sighed heavily, and sald: & Qught to have been cleaned a week ago. Will you please give me the time?” Thé lady addressed bad ona magnificent chain, but she blushed, half rose, sat down again, and whispere ¢ My—my watch is—is out of order.” “You huve the time, perbaps?” he asked of the next. 5 Y-yes, sir—it’s 10 o’clock,” she replied, look- ing out of the window. ? Does your time agrec with that?” he asked of the third. 1 pelieve so,” she coldly replied, thongh she well knew that her chain was pinued to her dress. « And what does your watch say?” he smil- ingly asked of the fourth. “It’s a little slow, I think,” she answered, drawing ber shawl closer. ‘The ffth lady had a watch, and a fine one, too. She drew it out, made as much display as possi- ble, and called out: +Ten minutes after eleven!” The gentleman smiled, the other four ladies bit, their lips and scowled, and. the driver shook up the lines and called out: (o on, now, you old raw-bones!

They had seen a calico dress hang- 1ng out of a wagon down at the camping-ground —sign of emigrants from over the great plains. Everybody went down there, and a shout went up when an actual, bona fide dress was dis- covered fluttering in the wind. The male emi- grant was visible. The miners said: * Fetch ner out!” He said: “It is my wife, gentlemen; she is sick; we have been robbed of money, provisions, and everything by the Indians—we want to rest.”” “Fetch heront!” That was the only reply. He did “fetch her out,” and they swung their hats and sct up three rousing cheers and a tiger; and they crowded around, and gazed et her, and touched her dress, and listened to her voice. with the look of men who listened to 8 memory rather than at a present reality: and then they collected $2,500 in gold and gave it to the man, and swung their hats amuin and gave three more cheers, aud went home satisfied. ROMANCE AND REALITY. A certain gentleman who lives on East Orange strect returned home the other evening with 3 copy of the Register, and in it be discovered the following item: s “Somehow a magnificent girl always marries an insignificant whiffet of a man, and nverg handsome fellow gets hold of an ugly woman. “There's a good deal in that,”’ said A—r «1 shouldu’t wonder if there was,” says Mrs. b );nl':w, for inshmze,.“ paid A—, *‘you used to call me handsome.” “ Yes,” said Mrs. A—, “,¥ know I did; but you see I had to tlatter you. iy “Do you mean to cal me an insignificant ‘whiffet, madam¢ *No, sir; [ only want to say that yon used to call me 8 magnificent girl.” “Iknow [did; but, confound you, & hand- some man has to compliment” a homely woman.” ‘Then he went out on the back stoop and meditated on the trials of life.—Newark Regis- ter.

A gentleman proceeding leisurely along Mun- son street, Saturday afternoon (says the Dan- bury News), heard groans proceed from the rear of ahouse. He stepped back there to see i he could be of help to any one in distress, when he met with a most singular spectacle. A very large man, short in the neck and red in the face, was on his back on the grass, while 2 woman with sharp features of an acid cast was holding him down by his collar. liat on earth is the matter?” cried the astonished stranger. & Nothin’s the matter,” retorted the woman, in a sharp voi. “ Only the old fool thinks he knows what kind of asearf I shall wear, an’ I’'m going to show him he don’t; an’ outsidors bet- ter look out for their own bair.* The stranger precipitately retired, deeply af- fected by the progression of the age. —— A MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN. In a recent case before the English Court of Chancery, the plaintiff asked to be relieved from a bond which he had given, on account of his incapacity, he being 90 years of age. The Court, having learned the great age of the plaintiff, expressed a desire to learn the age of the de- fendant,—Miss Miller, a maiden lady,—when the following prozeedings took place: . Mr. Glasse, Q. C., for Miss Miller, said she +was in conrt, and would, no doubt, herself give the answer to that nfixestion. The Vice-Chancellor said—Miss Miller, are, I believe, the detendunt in this case. is your age? The defendant replied—Middle-age, if it please your lordship. [Laughter.] The Vice-Chancellor—I mean how old are yon? The defendant—Fifty, if your lordship pleases. ———— A MATIDEN’S STORY. Miss Petronella Freblich, aged 25 vears, of Scholes street, Williamsburg, has instituted a breach of promise suit against Henry Hellerer, of Cook and Humboldt strcets. Mr. Hellerer is 55 years old. According to her story, she be- came_acguainted with him two weeks agoat a moonlight picaic. “He Eromised me that night,” sho said, *that he would marry me next day, but when the next day came he put it off for last Sunday. As he did'not come to my house for me, I went to his and said: ‘Come, let us be married.’ ¢No, you just get right out,’ he said; ‘I no marry you,’ and he took me right out of the house.” Well, never mind, I will make him feel worse than if he had married me.’—XNew York Sun. on hat GRASS WIDOWS. The term *grass widow,” says the Kinder- hook Rough Notee, is said to be a corruption of ¢« grace widow,” the former expression being merely a barbarism, “Grace widow™ is the term applied to one who becomes & widow by grace or favor, not of necessity, as by death, and originated in the carly ages of Earopean civilization, when divorces were granted but scldom aud wholly by the Catholic Church. When such a decre¢ was granted to a woman the Papal receipt stated * Viducade gmtlnh" which interpreted is widow of grace.”” In the Iaw of the French it would read, * Veuve de grace,” or ‘“gruce widow,” ‘'veuve” being ranslated as “widow.” ENGAGED.
