A Prencher’s Ingenious Treatment of Sunday Night Attendants. WHY YOUNG MEN TAKE THEIR GIRLS TO CHURCH AND WHERE THEY SIT—HOW THEY LBAVE USHERS IN THE LURCH—A PREACHER'S PLAN FOR SECURING THE ATTENTION OF YOUNG COURTING COUPLES—ELECTRICAL AND RHETOR- ICAL EFFECTS—SUCCESSFUL RESULTS. The preacher sat tilting back in his chair, gaz- ing in an abstractad manner at a Star reporter, | who was on the opposite side of the desk in the pastor's study, writing out some religious in- formation for the columns of Tue Star. Asthe reporter finished his work and was gathering together the papers, he glanced across at the preacher and noticed the preoccupied expres- sion of his tace. Anticipating that he might have something more to say of interest, the re- porter settled back in his seat, and, withont in- terrupting the stilenee, awaited developments. The reporter gazed at the preacher, and the | preacher gazed at the reporter, but the silence | remained unbroken. Presently the reverend gentleman remarked, as if thinking aloud: “I shall have to begin shortly another series of Back Seat sermons.” “ah, Indeed!” observed the listener, entirely in the dark as to the meaning of the reverend gentleman, and then the reporter hastened to | add on a venture: “Doctrinal sermons, I sup- | pose?” “Doctrinal sermons?” echoed the preacher, in almost a shout, as he brought his chair | with a crash that threatened the springs, are you talking about?” “Well, thought—that Isto say, I supposed—” stammered the reporter, considerably abashed. “Do you pretend that you don't know what I mean ?* asked the preactier, with an appearance of astonishment. The reporter confessed without a blush to this alarming ignorance. “Well,” concluded the preacher, charitably. “I suppose that you have keen married some time, and have forgotten about your courting days. Now, let me ask you one question. How did you and your sweetheart generaliy spend Sunday evenings ?” “Let _me see,” reflected the reporter, some- what astonished at this turn in the conversation. “I think that we usually went to church if it wasn't too cold or too hot. She was rather deli- ; cate, and had to be careful about going out at | night, you know,” he added, half apologetically. THE PREACHER NEARLY WINKS. “Oh! certainly, of course,” said the preacher, and he leaned back and looked at the reporter with one eye shut, very suggestive of a worldly wink. “Now when you went to church you invariably sat as far back as you could get. Of course you did. Now why did you do that ?” The listener pondered that question, and as the events of the happy period passed in reylew. before his mental vision he smiled and laughed ont loud. ‘You see,” at last said the repo aiming to make a sensible explanation, | wanted to see the bonnets of the other girls, as | Is natural with women when they go to chureli | or auy other public place, and I wanted to see | her, and so of course we’ couldn't go way up | front,” and the reporter paused. The preacher nodded his head approvingly during this explanation as it it was just what j he expected, and then said: “Your reasons 1 suppose are just as zood as couldbe given. At | any rate, all young couples on Sunday nizht make for the back seats, and they won't take any other. An usher may start ou ahead and they will let him go and then drop into a back ! seat, and when he turns around at the head of | the aisle with a pleasant smile to show them | into a good front pew, he generally finds to his disgust that no one is belind him. That sort of thing has deprived the church of the services of. many an efficient usher. They can’t stand the humiliation of ushering up the aisle Nothing and then walking back to face a smiling con- gregation. It breaks them all up, soto speak.” HOW IT LOOKS FROM THE PULPIT. “Now what is the result of this sort of thing?” continued the preacher, argumentatively. “When I rise in my pulpit on Sunday evening | and look over the congregation what do I see? | In the pews near the front are the elders and deacons, good men with their shining bald heads and attentive faces. Their wivesare with them, | and here and there isa maiden lady. Then in | | the center is a broad degert of empty pews, and back in the rear, massed around the doors, you might pung people alway irs. them. J always preach: and I plunge into my ser- with energy and animation. After a par- larly telling point, aimed right at these nung people, Tlook up to enforce with gesture | and personal glance what I have to say, and in- stead of finding the eyes of amy back seat con- zregation turned upon me jp gitentive interest | they are not paying the él t attention to mi ot even looking at me. But there they into each other's eyes like young es, or perhaps,” he added, with ‘bitter sar- cusin, “‘as the poet expresses it, ‘Soft eyes looked wa | i | love fo eyes tliat spoke again!” | “That's Byron,” remonstrated the reporte | “I don’t care ifit is,” said the preacher, re “it is the major part of any congregation | Sunday night, too.” j “I xot tired of that sort of thing last winter,” he resumed after a briet pause, -‘and I made up | my mind that I would have their attention for a | little while at least. | “How did you manage it?” asked the listener, i with eager curiosity.

Base Ball. Our Nationals walked off witn gnother victory yesterday afternaon, ecapturingja ten inning game from the Pittsburzs, the s¢ore being 5 to 4. The Nationals:are not only pldying a strong, steady game, but ‘what is almost as necessary, are playing in godd luck. The nipe as it is now constituted could not well be improved upon. Every man plays his position as best he knows how, and_ altho criticisms cbuld be made upon certain points, each as Wise’s habit of stepping back when about to strike, Halpin’s tendency to step back for a bounding bail in- | stead of running upon it, &c., still the general | playing of all is so honest’and So steady at criti- | cai points that they deserve nothing but praise for their ability to meet any of the clubs in the association on equal terms. Owing to poor suc- cess in the early part of the season, the Nationals will not be able to take the stand/at the end of the season that they would had they been pos- sessed of their present strength) at the com- mencement. It is confidently éxpected that they will take fourth piace from the Baltimore. The St. Louis nine will undoubtedly hold first place, and the Cincinnati "Sallis the Bos- ton probably third, The Nations have suc- ceeded in winning fitteen successive games, besides two drawn es. This}is a record to be proud of. It almost equals that of the Balti- mores, without a suspicion of playjng with dead and lively balls. They have buf nine games to play here before the end of the| season—four with the St. Louis, four with the Cincinnatis, and one with the Baltimores. On the 2ith they oon a western tour, which will finish the season THE UNION ASSOCIATION TO MEET HERE. On Tuesday evening there will be a meeting of the Union association in this city, when some matters of importance will be settled. It is probabie that by that time there will be two vacancies in the association. The Wilmingtons are expected to disband this evening, and an- other one to follow suit early in the week. It may be decided to finish the season with but six clubs. On the other hand the Milwaukee cinb has applied for admission to the associa- tion. If admitted each of the eastern clubs can have several games with them on the western trip, and the newly-admitted club will be able to start In next season on equal terms with the rest.

In the rst race, which was a mile handicap heat race, the starters were Asa Dolph, of New Lon- don, Ohio; Wm. B. Crist, 50 yards; L. M. Kru- ae Saltzman, 60; W. T. Robert- Cul F 0 Va shannon, 200 ya C. E. Wilber, 200 y R. P. Barnard. The corners of the track were not in good condition, vhich rendered it necessary for fast riders to slow up in turning them. Dolph was evidently afraid to let himself out, but he overhauled a yreat many of those ahead of him. Seutferie succeeded in keeping the lead, crossing the line dirst in 5:0814; Culliane came in second, but was disquali tor fouling Barnard, who was given. second place; Dolph was given third place. Crist got a tumble early in the heat, which pre- vented his making a good show. He was given a chance in the second heat. This heat also re- sulted in favor of Senfferle. in 3:0614, who got first prize; Dolph was second, in 3:09, with Crist a close third in 3:0914. In the boys’ race, half-mile handicap, the starters were C.C. Clements (scratch), R. V. Houston (scratch), Andrew Cullinore (40 yards start), P. N. Miller (50 yar nond Silver- bury (100 yards), aud H. W. Higham, jr., ($0 yards). It wasa very pretty sight to see the little fellows shoving their mat es about the track with all the vim and style of old racers. The two scratch boys were the largest and strongest, and had no difficulty in taking the lead from the others, who should have been allowed more handicap. Houston won both heats, in 2:013¢ and 2 with Clements second.

The prizes are valued at about £4,000. ‘The Potomac Regnattn In all probability the regatta of the Potomac Boat club yesterday was the closing aqnatie event of the year. The first two races for single sculls and double working boats were walk- overs, Kearney rowing over the course in the first and Cornwell anil Hungerford in the latter. In the four-oared race Cornwell, Randall, Secher Smallwotd rowed against Zappoon , Durant and Warden.

Zingari club, of Canada, and the eleven of the Staten Island Athletic association in New York yester- day, the interest in the game centered in the way the Staten Islanders rolled up the big score of 201 runs for six wickets, in the face of sharp flerding and swift bowling. A feature of the gaine was the stand made by Wilson and Kess- | ler, who made sixty-seven runs in the second wicket. THE CREEDMOOR MATCH. The principal event at Creedmoor yesterday was the match for the Hilton trophy. Teams from the Atlantic division, U. S.A., and the states ot Pennsylvania, Michigan and New York. The distances were 200, 500 and 600 yards, and | the positions were standing at 200 yards and | any choice thereafter. The value of the trophy, which ts presented by ex-Judge Henry Hilton, is $3,000. A medal was also given to each mem- ber of the winning team. The Atlantic division | won the trophy from the Michigan team, the holders. The inter-state long-range match was won | by the Amuteur Rifle club, of New York, who | had a walk-over. | The inter-state military match was contested | by teams from Pennsylvania, New York and | Michigan, and the first was the winner. A LONG DISTANCE SWIMMING MATCH, between R. P. Magee and W.N. Dryden for a gold medal, occurred yesterday in the Patapsco, the course being from the Ferry Bar to Fort Carroll and return, adistance ot 14 miles. Dryden left the water after swimming 2?4 miles. being annoyed by the sea nettles and the rough water. Magee continued, and went over the course, after being in the water 1034 hours. He was considerably exha usted. FISHING IN THE UPPER POTOMAC. The cooler weather is cordially welcomed by the anglers who haye had thelr early fall sport spoiled by the excessive warm weather. During the past week but few bass comparatively have been caught in this vicinity, and the failure of fishermen was attributed to the hot weather. One party took a trip upto Seneca and remained | there for several days. They hardly cauzht as / many fish as they could eat. Their only catches | were made very early In the morning. A few cocl nights, however, will revive the sluggish bass and set hin to seeking for food. The water is so clear at present that the angler has to use unusual care and pains to deceive the wary and watchful bass. Next week several camping par- ties will leaye Washington for a few days sport on the upper Potomac and the Shenandoah. The best catch in this neighborhood of late was | made by Mr. Jolin Hancock at the old club | house last Saturday. He landed them running above a pound in we THE FALL RACE MEETING.

ON THE PRAIRIFS—OVER THE “BAD LANDS”— THE GREAT AMERICAN DESERT—LIFE IN THE GIANT MOUNTAINS OP OREGON—LOST AMONG THE PINES. Correspondence of Tar EvEstxe Stam Durer, Wasco Cocnty, ORFGO! August 10, 1854. After leaving Baltimore, en route to this place, T fell in with alot of Georgetown college boys going home for their vacation. They were a lively crowd. Whey got off at Harrisburg. I had cigars enough left to last me to Pittsburg. Tuad all day in Chicago to look around and take in the sights, managing to do this without getting taken in myself, and that is doing well | in that city, for of all the places Lever saw for | “man traps” Chicago heads the list; but I had | cut my eye teeth before I reached there, so was proof against all the tempting inducements of- fered me (as a special favor to me) to corral a fortune by investing a dollar in this or tuat | scheme. From Chicago to St. Paul the journey was the most unendurable part of t e trip, not | even excepting the “Bad Land ota and Montana. It was amusing, and sad too, to wateh the bewildered expression of the poor fellows’ faces as they were put off at a crossing out on the wide prairie and directed to some distant little frame or sod house dotted out miles away on the wide prairie, and as the train moved on one conld see the “frau” and little ones cuddle up on the boxes and bundles, while struck out across the prairie to look up his friends and get | a team to come back for his family. While at St. Paul I spent a pleasant day look- ing about the city and getting ready for the long ride to the Pacific slope. At 7p. m. we pulled out of the Union depot and were tairly started on the biggest part of the trip, After some little confusion about seats and berths we finally got settled, and ail turned in, and while our train is rushing along at the terrific rate of el miles per hour I will give you a descrip- tion of AN EMIGRANT SLEEPING CaR. In the first place they are nearly as large as a Puliman, and painted outside in imitation of one; inside they are also similar, only not up- hoistered. The upper berths shut up in the same wayas a Pullman, the whole interior being of maple, oil finished, clean and neat and well ventilated. A closet at one end; at the other a huge range with large water tank, wash basin and sink. Very convenient; but I did not use that wash-basin. I would fill my sponge full of water, go out on tie plattorm and mop my face; or, better still, when we got into the mountains and made a stop, there was always a clear, cold mountain stream close by, where we enjoy ice water bath. The only objection [ have to an emigrant sleeping car is that there is absolutely no privacy; only one closet for each car, and no curtains on the berths, rendering it impossible for ladies to remove their clothing and enjoy a good night’s rest. As I lay in my berth (an upper one) [ could have put out my hand and touched a girl in the opposite berth, and that girl was mal Washington ‘erritory all alone. It is remarkable how soon a car-load of hu- manity get acquainted. By noon the next da we Were all on speaking terms, and by supper time we were trading “grub” with the ease and fainiliarity of old friends. One tady, a wido’ fair, fat and about thirty-five, was so favorably impressed with me that when she left the train in the afternoon of the second day out, she pre- | looking Dog river, and Mt.

We wandered about tor a lone time. Finally I caught sight of an opening in the forest, and we made for it. It wed to be a “burn”—that is, where the fire had run through and destroyed the timber. Just at this out, over- point the clouds rolled away, the sun came and we found ourselves ona hich cliff a mile away. ee RELIGIOUS CHURCHES MERE AND ELSEWHERE. Rev.

I went upto the hotel and was talk- ing away when the landlady stepped upand said, “Young man, do you intend to stop here “Certainty not.” “Well, then, you'll have to hurry mighty fast or she'll get clean away from you.” Thereupon I looked out of the window, and sure enough there went the train almost clear of the town, and you have no idea how a west- straggles. Well, with bye, I “lit out” of that hotel and streaked to one he don’t catch it,” ow you are getting down to ) gait,” and other remarks of a like natur I did not stop to thank them for their kindness, but put it down as I never did before, and after a haifa mile had been left be- hind Iclambered aboard, hot and breathiles: amid the cheers of both train men and pass gers. The train was only running ut tour or five miles per hour, but it ug start that gave her the advantace. Here we struck the ‘Bad Sands,” and what with prairie dogs, alkali water, and the train going at a snail’s gallop we were miserable enough, but that night | organized an amateur minstrel troupe and sang a solo myself—"Such an education has my Mary Ann”—and was en- cored threetimes. THE SNOW CAPPED PEAK OF THE ROCKIES. Now we sight the snow capped peaks of the Rockies, and just at night we are among the toot hills; in the morning we are just getting wellinto them. They are the most magni cent mountains I have eyer seen, and there Is a vast difference between them and the Blue Ridge, for when you say grand! magnificent! you hit the Rockies, but when you say grand and lovely you describe the bonny Blue Ridge toadot. Through the mountains the road fol- lows the valleys, and for two whole days we were running past stupendous snow-covered mountains, past naked cliffs of stone. the giant pines on their summits dwarfed to mere bushes; on past rushing mountain torrents until our train wound slowly around and acruss the lovely Lake Pen ile.

Well, we passed two or three stations and struck the ‘Dalles of the Colum- bia.” There was ayvreat rush and whirl and roar of waters and lather of foam, and an In- dian camp, but nothing particuiarly imposing | about this much-talked of point, but it may | have appeared tame to me on account of my | still remembering the magnificent falls and rapids of the Rockies. By the time I got my traps together tie train pulled into the Dalles | and Ibid my companions “bon voyaze” and | struck out for the Jackson house and breakfast. My “grub” lasted me until the last two days, and then I avoided the hotel dining-room and visited the lunch counters, where I could get two cups of tea or coffee and two sandwich for twenty-tive cents, while a spread at the table cost seventy-five cents, and then you got more “style” thaa “hash.” LIFE IN THE MOUNTAINS. Two weeks ago Mr. S——andI wert up on the “Divide,” which is much higher than bere. There are seyen mountain peaks to be seen at ‘one time trom there—Mt. Tacoma, Mt.St. Helena, Mt. Hood, Mt.

To sum upthe labor of years: I was on the place yesterday and found an old double log-house, 80 nearly rotted down that it Is propped up all around; the windows were with- out glass, the door frames without doors, the children could pass out between the logs in any direction, the lady and a triend were sitting in the “gallery,” a space between the two cabins, on splint chairs, contentedly “dipping” sou‘, while the lord and master, in dirty, becrimed clothes, satunder a tree doing nothing, but M.
