BASEH-BALL. 5 THUE FOURTIL 1IN SIX. e eecond week of the Boston-Chicago series resuited Just as e Brst one did; Chicaga lost the fretand won the otler 10 of the eamen. Yester- gov's was the sisth game of e serics, and was Luily as wmatifyimg seany of the lot, becauee it fu- gicated a power to pufl up which the Whites have ot before shown so fally s year. ‘Tuc day was rather uuprointéing, and the raln of the forenoon no coubt ' discourszed those friends of the gue who do rot know tbat the Chieago management keeps its agreements with Ite patrons Jfitis anyway possible t6 do so. During part of {be gatac 1 ine mist was falling, which kepl things gampand hasty; but, e meither side asked the gmpire 10 €ay whether it wes rain, no ofiicial potice of the wet was taken. Despite nil fie nconvemlences, & large audience was, present Ferguson Jost the toss, and the Whites were disposed of without tcoring, shough Harbidge and Start were on base. The former was called unt at home-plate on rathier 4 douttful decision. The Lostons then took o Jead, Wrigut leading off with a hit, getting to third on Leonand's strike out, and home on Fergu- son'e attempt to put him out after O'Roarke's bit. 1n the second inning Start put inahit, but was doubied up by O'ourke, who made a wondertul catch of Aneon’s jow fly. Ferguson followed with 5 hit. went 10 gecond on o wild pitch, and scored In tue Jass ha}f Burdock made a two-baser, and went to tuird on o wild pitchi, but was caught at the plate py McClellan off Sutton’s bounder. The latter gcored his Tun on errors, In the third iuning the Reds improved thelr lead by vetting tworane, when the side would have been out if Manning's hit had pot gotten by Cassidy. “The score was 4 to 1 gewinit the Whites When, in the foorth inning, Siart hit & long ome for two buses after iwo bands were omt. Then Amson became juspired, and droves liner away 10 the end seats for three bases, and Ferzuson added to the inter- otbya two-baser, which bronzat in aud earaed the second run: This brousht the score to 3—% {n favor of Boston, but the lutter zot in an corned run, and made it 3 to 3. In the fifch inning, afier 1wo bands were out, Hankinson reached frston Wnght's mufl, and Remsen drove a two-basger to risht centre. Harbidge kept up bis reputation for makiiga bit when one s necessary by driving 8 wicndid liner into centre, bringing in the wwo runs amid great upplavse. This tied the score, 2l the crowd rose op snd_ shouted their apprecia- tonof Harbidee's hit. In the nest Inning Start Mt clesn, and -Auson was semt to base on ballv. The latter was forced out on Ferzuson's hit, but Start scored ‘on Snyder':. error in not holding Sutton's throw to him. Fer- fuson lso resched the plate on Cassidy's fiy to Nauniue, eiving tho home team a lesd of two. lu 1he pext inniug Remsen took first on a hit, and when he etaried for second Snyder threw badly, 2nd the runper resched the plate by fast running. The otber run_was made in the Inst ipning by Hauianson, who Mt hurd into right ceutre for tiree bases, and scored on 4 passed tall, Fur the last five 1nings the Bostons did not ap- pearon the score; they hit hard cuouxh, but the Whites would not ke any errors to oblize them, ‘e cnaracter of the play in the feld may be un durétood by saying that in the lust six inninz the Chicagos. made no fieldinz error, exc e techical one of sending Monninz 1o b bulls. Tins was done wnen O'ltourke was on thira and Two hands were ont, and it was renMy good play_au judement in Larkin, for Mauning Leads the Boston buttinz averuge. ‘The result was that Burdock. the next man. struck out. 7The best batting is shown in the score, though Hsrbidge Is entitled to special credit for his hit, hich saved two runs. The field-play was clearly led by Start, who made rome wonderlul stops of irows and hits. The crowd gave bim great credit for a one-baud jump- g catch, on which he retired Sutton. The bardest und most effective work was that which showed the least,—the pitching sand catching.. 1t was nol an ezsy matter 10 do god work with & wet and slippery ball, but Larkm stuck to it patiently and_efiectively. and was weil packed by ilarbidge.

THAT FATEFUL 12 0'CLOCK. Mrs, Swisshelm to the Locomotive Engl- neers. To the Edttor of The Tridune. PriNceTON, 1if., June 27.—I have heard it whispered that, on u certain day, known only to the cath-bouud and the initiated, every locomo- tive engineer in the United States and Canada is to stop work, keep the englne committed to his care just whereser it may bappen to be st that particular moment, and prevent, by sl means i his power, any other person from using ft. This story would at once be stamped as an in- famous libel, a malicious slander ou & class of highly-responsible men, if {t were not for the lessons which the labor-troubles have already taught; but, looking st the past, one Is forced to conclude that it is possible sach action may be contemplated, and { would respectfuily nsk every honest mau to look at suck a planin the hight in which it must appear in history. “Erery onecapable of intelligent thought knows that the keeping of contracts is the bond which holds society together. Children at school ex- press their seuse of falruess by say- ing, “A barzain 's a bargain.” That bar- gain may be distasteful 10 oue of the partfes. He may havebeen sorry for makiog it, aniustautafter it was made; but common opinion bolds him to his bargain, unless 1be otlier party is agreed to anuulling it. At least, such was the rule in ail the schools of which I ever was a member, either as pupil or teacher; and he was always marked as a mean bov who would shirk his bargain. The great difference between mankind and the Jower auimals is, that the one maies bargains, and the other does not. But the making of a Largain Is worse than nonsense i It has no bind- ing force; and the principal use of a system of laws, of ormanized soclety, 18 to regulate the terms of barzning, and to euforce them after they are made. All our lezal codes are the dircet outzrowth of that humau instinet which induces the bovs of a school to hold each other to the performance of thelr barzuins, and to prevent the muking of any which are manifestly and grossly unjuet. Now, let any one compare such a movement this stopoaze of all enzines would be with thut human instinet of barzain-making, and be wust see that it Is simply brutal; sud that a code of bonor whici woald make stich & tbfng possible would be, to ull futents und purposvs, pigeish. 11 we could imaxine 3 drove of ofis making barwrafn, we wouid feel that they would do just asit ia said the eusineers jntend doing. sud break it whenever {t sufted thefr whim,—bréak it without auy rezard to the rights of the other party to the barguin, or of others whodepend on its falfillment. . It scewns to me that Jocomotive-engineers do 1ot zet as much wages s they ourht to do from curnorations whick pay such bLizh salaries to presiding otficers; but it also secms to me that this is more the tault of the engiéers than of the corpurations. Soon aiter women were first admitted to elerksbivs in the Departments in Washingron, I nade o move to bave them brought under ruies sinular to those which woverned wale clerks, so that they would be amenable to promotions but the women themselves almost universally pro- tested uwainst any sich chanee fn their status. Each one scemed ufraid that she would fail of promotivy, and, rather than let auy other woman et more than she got, was willing to remain in statu quo. “Now, this is exactly what the eneincers dre and have been cuing.

OF course. it is well that any class of men should have geveral rules to govern their ac- th =4 but, whenever these rufes interfere with tue right of the individual to make the most of himselt and his opporiunities. they are op- presave. Suppose afl the clerks or offivers bf o railroad should band togetlier to prevent the promotion of any oue of their number, is it prodable that any of them would develod that cuperior business capacity which renders the vice of one man worth that of. o thousand who lack that capacity? So long asa majority of entineers are 50 mean and envious tiai they will not acknowledge superiority in uheir own runks, so lonz they reduce themseives to a- semi-Coolie con- diton; end so long they rob - the world, by denywg to it the use of that superior brain-power which Nature has bestowed upon o few oL ull classes and conditions, in order that they way clevate the many. So long as they maintain a Brotherhood which, like a great rolling-iv, flattens out the mass like o Tump of doug, so long they have no riktt to complain that they arc ot " ireated with that consideration due to independent manhood. A sct of men who nave resigned their indlvidual right to make their own barzains. and given up that indtvidusl honor which demands the ful- fillment of a contract, should be content. No, —no man should be content to be a small bie of alving machine, but should get up and get out of avery such position us fast as bis bruins and legs could carry hfm. Think of thic infamy of the purpose mow charged upon a large class of intellizent men. Ench one hias, in his individual capacity, and on his fudividual responsibility. engazed to run an engine ove month fur a cerlain sum, and knew, when making that engagement, that, on a cer- tain hour ol a certain day, he Wwould violate bis contract. ‘Perhaps any one of them wowld feel in honor bound to kugek down the mun who would call him a liar; but what is the right name for a man who deliberately tells a lel Hesays to the railroud company, * L will run your engine 4 month”; and to the Brothernood, L will 5top running this engine any mowent you cotn- mand me to do s0." “To be or not to be," used to be * the ques- tion”; but, in such o state of cxistence as “Frades-Unions have created, to be, ant not to be, ut oue and the same time, Is the actusi con- ditlon of the workingwau. e is to fulfill his contract with his employer and with society at large, aud he is pot to do anything of the Kind. e is to be morally and Jexaily respon- sible for hls actions, and lic is not to be any- thing but a_small bit of o machine of which some well-paid Sccretary turns the crank to draw his salary out of the pockets of a setof dupes.

No European tyranny ever so overrode and crusbed out the rights of individuals asdo these Unions. No King or Emperor ever issued a ukase more at variance with the claims of a common humanity. Take, for {nstunce, the proposed stoppage of engines.

Early yesterday morping the hopes that were beginning to form in the minds oz some of our people that the worst damage was done and the worst caving over for n timefat our river- front were clevated ten times hizher than was the Lite of the famous Mr. Gilrov. Aoout 8 o'clock the trouble bezsz, and for nearly two bours there was a lively tumbdle of earth all along from the foot of Jones street, & dis- tance of fully 1,000 vards. As usual, the bank was lined with peovle curlous- to sce the 4 fun,” s astranzer remarked ; many, of. course, nad a deeper interest, but the majority were outsiders and treated the matter os one of ex- citement onls. Near the former site of Capt. Young’s fco- house the falliog of the bank was so rasidinthe morning that a barn belongioz to Coris Hanson, and which on Tbursday eveniug was some dis- tsnce from the river, was undermined and wash- cd Into the water before men could be gathered to remove it.” The buildioz was frame, 106x80 feet in size, and only about half of the mate- rial \lvu recovered, the rest taking a trip south- ward. The space of zround at the tront of Juckson street, on which a few days ago a duzen or more houses were standiug, 13 wasbing out rapidiv, and the river at that poiut advanced 1aland yes~ terday fifteen or twenty feet. Mrs. Salisbury, & widow woman, was the lasc_to leave that dans erous locality, her house having been moved across the roud yesterday morning. But even here it i3,not safe, and the chances that _all the bumldiogs fo the fork formed by the Illinols Central Railroad track and the main wra eled wazon-road will have to be moved soou, are, we believe, quite favorable.

ELECTRIC LIGHT. Kffeot from an Apparatus Ualf a file Dis. tant. Aste York Trivune, June2s. 2 An experiment was made last “oighit with*the electric light by Arnoux & Hochhausen at their office, at Howard and Ceutre streets. The ap- paratus is 2 modificatiun of the machine used (o Paris, but the firm claim. that it is shupler, chenper, and equally c(ective. The light, of course, - as m all these machines, oro- ceeds™ from the combustion of carbon points, between which powertul electriz currents pass, and the difficulties fn the practical use of the light are bere, a8 they have beeu cverywhere,. two-fold: first, the diCiculty of dlviding the current so as to give separate lights, when wanted, in the sume room, or in different roows, from the same machine; aad, secondl; the dificulty of securing such asteady bustion of the carbons as shall prevent flicker- iogz. The machine may be used for ligh ting offices and stores, or it will_serve for illum{nat- ing an evtire park or stretch of seabeach. Last night tho apparatus was placed on the roof of the Howard street building, and - the face of the lantern was turned about {n a guar- ter circle until {t was direcied toward the Trib- une Building. The sweeo of this vivid ray of light, as if a gigantic dark-lantern had been turned suddenly upon the East Side, furnished 8 novel spectacie, aud attracted much attention. The light brought out the roofs of buildings in strong rellef 85 far s the East River, and described the are of a huge circle’ on its way down town. Fioully it was focussed full upon the north wiudow lu the eighth story of the Tribune building. The effect of the lieht is pecullar. It secms o lack all the elemeat of heat, and the color given by the flame of ordinary gas seems also to be ab- cent. [t is an unearthly lizht, and lends to all the objects whicn fali within its scone a strange, bluish cust. When in full focus the light wasso powerlul that solid_nonpareil matter and cven agate could be read with ease. Thedifficulty last night; however, seemed to be to preserve an even light. For a fev: scconds the hizht would be stroog, clear, wuwavering; then it would ficker, and darkness for an Instaat would fall upon the page. Suadeuly the light would grow Urighiter, sometimes increasing siowly in brill- janey, at osher times leapini at a bouud to the full measurc of radinnce. This element of un- certainty snade reading somewhat painful 1o the eyes, thu contrasts between semi-obdcurity and mia-day brightness Leiug too frequent and startiing. P 1n the Tridune proof-room no difficulty was experienced ju rudluE proof by the light, other than that caused by its flickering. When it is considered that the source of the lizht was exactlyahalf-miledistant trom the Tribune build- ing, the power ol the light may be understood, Melsrs, Arnoux and Hochhauseu believe tliat botn of the difliculties involved fa the adapta- tion of this light to weueral use will soan be obvisted. They lready show swmaller machines which give 8 much steadfer light thau that e hibited last night; sud they clalm that the divisibility of the current, so that the same machine con be used for producing light fa different rooms at the same time, has ajready been practically attained, althongh at the cost of a considerable diminution of light-pruduc- Ing power. i e - ™ Cors Pearl. i Cincinnats Enquirer's Puris Leifer.
