BASE BALL. The handsome victory of the Washingtons over the Indianapolis team on Monday was off- set by their defeat yesterday by a gcore of 11 to 7 when it was generally acknowledged that the game should hayebeen theirs. The home boys batted well, earning five runs, but costly errors were made in the fifth inning and the visitors made six runs when they should have been blanked. Smith pitched the last four Innings and proved very effective, as the ball was not batted outside of the diamond. Hawkes is missed very much from the nine. His play at second is one of the strong points of the nine.

BOATING. The recent heavy rains made the current in the river very swift and a little treacherous. Monday evening in particular It was hard work | rowing up stream. The Potomac barge started out with a gay party, but it was impossible to get any where near the club landing. The racing boats all took the down river course. Nordzy, ofthe Potomacs, while practicing in his single, far down the river, ran against a stake, and his shell was broken in two. Fisher, who accom- panied him, brought word to the boat house and a boat was sent for him. He was found on one of the dredges waiting for means of trans- portation. In all probability Nordzy will be unable to participate in this evenin, ‘ace on account of the accident, but a very. pretty contest fs ex- preted between Kearney, Fisher and Smithson. Mesars. Semmes and Bradley, the Potomac giants, will engage in adesperate struggle in working gigs this evening.

From theLondon Daily News, May 29, The well-known Royal American midgets, Gen. Mite and Miss ‘Millie Edwards, were mar- ried yesterday morphing at Manchester. Gen. Mite, whose Teal name is Francis Joseph Flynn, is 19 years of age, and was born at Greene, Chenango county, N. Y. He is but 23 inches in height and weighs only nine pounds. The bride, Miss Millie Edwards, who is exhibited in her real name, is aged 17, stands 194-inches high, aud weighs seven pounds. She was born at Kalamazoo, in the 'state of Michigan. She has been traveling with Gen. Mite for about two years; The general has been traveling abont nipe years, and during that time he - has visited all the courts of Europe and all the large towns in England. The marriage would, it is stated, have taken place some time ago:but for the fact that the parents are of different religions. The General’s parents are Catholics, while the nts of the young lady are Presbyterians, and, after a long discussion it wasdegided that they should be married ing-ito the Presbyterian form. Yesterday morning the civil marriage took place at the superintendent registrar's office, Manches- ter. The little couple were dressed in walking costume, and on their arrival at the office were carried up stairs enveloped in shawls. A fire was lighted to keep the room at the temperature in which they live, and, when all was ready, the were ifted, upon a low office table, where a sm: garden-seat was for them. A bouquet was presented to bride by the eldest daugh- ter of the registrar, and the ceremony was at once commenced. ‘The little people were quite self-possessed and showed no embarrassment. They answered a quesons and repeated the dec- larations in a thin, piping voice, and, when the ceremony was concluded, were taken into an adjoining room to sign the register. A company assembled in St. James’ hall to wit- ness the religious ceremony, which was con- ducted by the Rev. James Mackie, of the Scottish National church, Rusholme, aX] chap- lain to the Presbyterian forces in Manchester. The band of the Third Dragoon Guards per- formed the “Wedding March.” Col. Nepts, a German dwarf was the best man, and two little girls were bridesmaids. the bride and bride- groom standing on a table during the service.

From the New York Sun. “Have you been long painting these cam- paign transparencies?” the reporter inquired of 8 palnter in an attic on 4th avenue. “Since Greeley’s campaign. There was a great demand at that time tor portralts of him and Gen. Grant, and I was employed by banner men to do the work for them, doing at the same time some on my own account. Both can- didates had faces easy to paint and to preserve a sort of likeness—Greeley from his infantile look, his spectacles, and the thin fringe of hair around his face, and Grant from his full beard. Hayes’ face for a banner was not very different from Grant's, although not so savage, but Til- den’s was difficult. To make it a good likeness much pains had to be taken, and that meant loss of time. Garfield and Hancock were easy, ‘The former had a bald spot on his forehead and 4 prominent nose, and Hancock a biz mous- tache. Logan has the same, but of another shape. Blaine is going-to be more difficult. Some of the portraits publised by the litho- graphers give him as sinister a countenance as a man could well have and live.” “Did you use the stencil and other mechani- eal aids when you began?” ‘Not at all, I painted them incessantly, and gained great swiftness. There are certain char- acteristic features about a man’s face which if you once catch you need not mind much about the rest.

From the New York Truth. In 1876, John Eder, whose father, Jacob Eder, kept & grocery store on Ningh avenne, was dis- charged from the regular army, having served a term of eight years. The ex-United States sol- dier was then about 80 years old. He had con- siderable money, dressed well, and, as he car- ried himself with the grace and dignity to which long service in the regular army had accus- tomed him, he attracted some attention when, ofa fine afternoon, he went out tor a stroll up and down Eighth avenue, which at such times was. usually thronged with ladies out doing their shopping. As the ex-soldier was tor the time being a gentieman of leisure he frequently gave hiniself an airing on the great west side thoroughtare, and the ‘‘mashes” that he scored among the ladies would excite with envy some ot the finest dudes of to-day. SCRAPING AN ACQUAINTANCE WITH THE GIRL. At that time Manile Tayler, the pretty 15-year- old daughter of the proprietor of a fancy goods mar school No. 33, in west 28th street. She was well developed for one of her age, and a wealth of brown hair flowed over her shoulders tn waves orringlets. Eder met the blithe young miss one day on her way to school and was smit- ten. At the close of school hours he was lying in walt for her, and when she came out he fol- lowed her and ascertained where she lived. N long’after this the then rather stylish e Managed to scrape an acquaintance with his youthful charmer. He frequently met her going to or from school, and always had sume little present for her, besides an abundance of soft words. The acquaintance ripened into genuine friendship, If nothing more serious, and the rl seemed to place all contidence in her stine acquaintance. THE MARRIAGE IN SECRET. From this stage on the history of the case ac- counts differ, Miss Taylor, who has now de- veloped into a full-grown, charming young lady, says that Eder met her one day on the street and proposed marriage. She objected, she Says, Whereupon Eder insisted, and told her that if she did not consent he would expose her toher mother and all her friends, tell them all the places they had been together in secret and thus bring her Into b: pepute. Shesaysthaton account of these threats she was coerced into golng with Eder, and that, being still under duress she went with him to the residence of a clergyman who married them. She also says that soon after going away with Eder she was missed by a schoolmate who informed Mamie’s mother of her disappearance. That her mother immediately went in search of her, overtook her the same afternoon and brought her home. She says that although the marriage ceremony was performed she has always retained her maiden name. THE COERCION CHARGES DENIED.

It is an immense fissure In the earth, with nothing above the general level of the country to indi- cate its existence to the traveler until he stands upon the sides of its almost precipitous brink. The sides have been gullied py storms and tor- rents, leaving shallow, cave-like places of great length at different heights, along the bottom of which, when the ledge furnishes a sufficient area, dwellings in groups or singly were built. The village was about three-quarters of a mile in length, and consisted of a single row of houses, the common rear wall being the living rock, while the sides and fronts were of large square stones laid in clay. A narrow street or path extended along the front. Similar villages extended along the canyon for a distance of five miles. Although many domestic implements were found nothing was discovered which indi- cated the character of the people who once in- habited them. There were no weapons of war, temples or idols, hieroglyphics or pictures. There was nothing to identify them with the un- civilized. races of the present day, and though the wide extent of the ruins indicate the exist- ence of allied races covering large portions of the present territories of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, as well as northern Mexico, their origin and history constitute an unsolved prob- Jem. Four hundred years ago, when first discoy- ered, they were, as now, vacant and ruined. ——__—__-e-____ How Oscar Got Married. From Truth (London.) Nellie went to see Oscar Wilde's wedding, and was immensely amused, on arriving at the church (St. James's, Sussex Gardens), to find that the bridegroom had given orders that none should be admitted unless they had his card, Of course, it was quite right that a certain por- tion of the church should be set apart at wed- dings for the friends of.the bride and bride- groom; but for a man to Issue his commands as to who shall and who shall not be admitted to a iblic place of worship is a little too ridiculous. ‘ellie got in, however, notwithstanding her be- ing unprovided with Mr. Oscar Wilde's card. She says the bride's dress was pretty, chiefly on account of its perfect simplicity. Her veil was , being of gauze or open-meshed spun silk, or something unusual.

AN EARLY START FOR THE FISHING GROUNDS ‘From the N. ¥, Morning Journal. President Arthur went a-fishing yesterday, taking with him Secretary of War Lincoln as an apt student. While the President has not in- sisted that each member of his Cabinet must be @ fisherman, it 1s understood that a ready pass- port to the affections of the head of the nation is through the medium of eh. Contrary to his usual custom, President Arthur did not dig his own bait yesterday, but Intrusted that delicate office to the charge of his host for the day, Mr. William Floyd-Jones, at whose reservation in Sonth Oyster Bay, Long Island, the fish were to have the honor of biting the Presiden An early start was made, much ag wishes of Secretary Lincoln, who sa a dozen times in reply to the President him to arise. uy call for id the President at b in on, bandied out quickly at this sal At half-past 1 o'clock the party started for the pond, which had been flooded for the occasion. Mr. Floyd Jones’ men had been bnsy ail the morning emptying tame trout, gold-fxh and salmon into the pond. Several of the trout were trained to rise and grab at anything, and, as they were always rewarded for so doing, there was much rivalry between them. From’ a con- venient pool they watched the President saun- ter down to the banks. It was understood be- tween the fish that the first honors were to. be taken by a three-quarter-pound trout, who was a general favorite. Secretary Lincoln protested that he never be- | fore saw a live trout, and the President smiled a fatherly syille upon the efforts of hls War Secre- tary to cast.a fly. Mr. Lincoln saw the smile and winked at Mr. Floyd-Jones. The three- quarter-pound trout waited until he was given the word and then he darted tor the President's fly. The other fish held their breath. Secretary Lincoln saw the trout making for the President's hook, and the wily son of his father drew Mr. Arthur's attention to a big red bull that was watching the carryings on in his bailiwick with a jealous eye. While the Presi- dent was looking out for an avenue of escape, {f bad went to worse, the Secretary quietly flipped iis line over that of bis superior officer and caught the advancing trout on the fly. The President was astonished, but the trout was more so. He jumped around tn the Secre- tary’s basket and tried to saw an arte with hls dorsal tin, but It was of no use. He was doomed go die for want of water. Pre ident Arthur snfhected that he had been again imposed upon, but he said nothing. The remainder of the fish were not so ambt. tious after they saw the fate of the three-quar- ter pounder, but they were too well trained n to make an exhibition of themselves. So they cavorted and sported in the water to show the President that they were there. An eel was Induced to go up and catch on, but he was thrown overboard again, much to his del and the others’ disgust. = se. LITTLE PETER AND THE INDIANS, The Adventure of a Eoy Whom Some Marauding Comanches Left to Perish. From the Fort Worth Gazette, Frank M. Collier writes from Meridian giving his recollection of an old occurrence, never betore mentioned 1n print, that reminds one of the Charlie MeComas case. Several years ago a squad of eight Indians came into Comanche county, near Jones Barbee’s ranche, on Kesley’s creek. A negro was out some half a mile from the house unhobbling some horses. The Indians | Tan upon him, lanced him in several places. The negro said: “Dey Kill me for awhile and de Injuns tink Iwas dead fer good, but I wasn’t. I played "possum on’em and dey didn’t skulp dis. nigger shore.” After the Indians left the negro got up and went to the house, minus the ho and reported to Massa Barbee that © was gone and nigger too, almc dians, after leaving the negro, pas: on down the valley and, coming upon John Beene and a! negro, killed both men.

In the meantime a scout from Resle creek and the Leon valley had hurriedly taken the trail. On the Clear Fork of the Brazos, from some cause unknown, the Indians dropped little Pe- ter, taking his coat, hat and socks, leaving him with nothing on but his shirt and pants, fifty or seventy-five miles from the nearest ranch, in the month of January, with nothing to subsist upon and no means of procuring any, and liable to be devoured at any moment by hungry wol had wandered from the trail and th pursuit had failed to find him, but in this, as In many other Instances, Providence apparently protected the helpless. ear, had been to Waco to p and were returning killed ifled the Little Peter lived five days and nights with- | outasingle bite to eat save grass roots.

How to Preserve it Sweet During Hot Weather. From the Hartford Times. “Have you recently looked at the milk which my milkman is furnishing, Mr. Roberts?” a gen- tleman asked, the other day, as he entered the sealer's office. “Yes, sir; I find his milk to be very good. Why, what's up?” “Well, there's a strong odor about the milk he delivers to me, and I don't like it.” An investigation by Mr. Roberts revealed the | fact, which was, by the way, acknowledged the dealer, that in the fleld where his cows were astured there are quantities of wild onions. fhe cows like this garlic, and the miik becomes tainted with a disagreeable smell. Mr. Roberts gives an explanation of the taint of milk which is often noticed after being taken from the ice. of the ice. The cold current descends and comes up on the other side, after being more or less heated. On the second trip the air, loaded with all the scents of the different articles, goes di- | rectly into the milk and stays there; because the impurities will be attracted by moisture. Now, place the milk under the ice and you will see that odors of the different foods will be left on_ the ice, and the milk will be as pure from bad smell or taste as when put there. I haveplaced a glass of water on ice in one side of a refrigera- tor, and a box of strawberries in the other. In three hours the water was colored from the im- purities of the berries. This is clearly a good illustration of my point on milk. Milk is one of the greatest absorbing liquids, and it should never be left in the sick room or wherever there are unhealthy scents. You will notice a greasy scum on water left in your sleeping room over night; that comes from the impurities of every- thing in the room being attracted by the mois- ture.

Dolan, F.R.C.S., the author of u standard work on hydrophobia, has drawn up | the following simple remedies for the iimme- diate treatment of dog-bites: “The bite of a healthy dog cannot cause hydrophobia. This is | a well-established fact. As it is dificult to determine the state of health of a dog at the time he bites, the wound should -be treated as if the dog were rabid. Dog-bites should be treated at once by the person bitten or by a bystander, by sucking the wound if possible; enlarging the wound with a penknife to ei courage bleeding; by hot water fomentation; by free washing with cold water; by ligature; a piece of string tied between wound and heart. After bleeding has been encouraged and the | wound has been well washed apply hot iron— | as a heated penknife, #mall key, &c.—caus- tics, pure nitric, sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, nitrate of silver, acetic acid, carbolic acid, am- monia, salt, Condy’s fluid or piece of hot cinder, If near a chemist’s the person bitten should run there, keeping his mouth applied to the wound, it possible, and spitting ont the blood extracted. If near a medical man’s house, run there at once! If ina part where the bitten cannot ap- ply his mouth, some bystander should suck the wound—no harm can follow from thus lending assistance. The dog inflicting the bite should be kept under observation for at least fourteen days. It will soon be seen whether it is healthy or not. If healthy, there is no tear of future de- velopment of hydrophobia. If the person bitten experiences shooting pain iy the arms or other parts of the body, three or four Turkish baths should be taken. If the person bitten is nery- ous, he should place himseif under the care of his medical attendant. I have treated some hundreds of cases of dog bites from all of the country, and I am glad to say that those bitten have not experienced fany after symp- toms.” ——__+e-___ ‘The Suicide Hazlet’s Hopeless Love.
