Nothing could be more satisfactory than the splendid work done by the Washington club dur- ing the second week of its Southern tour. Since last Saturday five games have been played, two In ew Orleans lust Sunday and three since then In | Birmingham, Ala. To the credit of the Senators be it said that they won them all, exbibiting @ marvelous quality of both individual and team playing. | Yesterday game proved a Waterloo for irmingham, the Senators siutting out the South- | erners by ascore of # to 0, pia and making ten hits.’ Gilmore pitched and the home men made but three hits. The same clubs play again to-day, and the Senators will then go to Charleston. A LETTER FROM BIRMINGHAM to THR Stax says: “The Washington club, since their entry in the South, have been doing excel- lent work. ‘The weather has been against contin ual practice, but the games they have to play are not easy games to Win, a3 some of the people of Washington might iinagine. ‘The New Orleans, Birmingham and Charleston clubs are mostly composed of men who once played in the League and American Association, and this fact, coupled with tue local umpires, makes It dificult’ to carry off a string of victims from any of the cities, “The inembers of the Washington elu) are taking the Dest of care of themselves.

Chris Von Der Ahe’s latest European plan is to make up two teams of minor League players, guar- antee their expenses, and take them over to Eng- land on a co-operative plan. If money 13 made the men are to receive a certain per cent, if not, they get nothing. ‘The Cluciinati Enquirer says that the action of the association in providing money prizes for the leaders in the coming season has set the moguls of the League to tbinking, and hints of a change in the program of the latter orgabization before the eud of the year. — TO PROTECT THE AUTHORS, A Branch of the Copyright League Formed in this City. A number of Washington’s literary and scien, Uifle men and women gathered In the parlorsof the Riggs’ House yesterday afternoon for the purpose of forming an iuternational copyright organi- zation to co-operate with the American Copyright League to secure legislation. Dr. Welling was called to the chair. “Dr. Burnett, Prof. Fay and Mr. Hackett were appotated to report a list of officers and a constitution. A number of commu nications from Various persons who had been asked to attend were read. Twenty-six had sig- hifled their Intentions to Join, Mr. J. C. Bancroft Davis. Col. Frey, Swiss mintster, Mr. Leigh Robin- son, Hon. Geo. Baucroft, Col. Garrick Mallory, H. W. Spofford, J. S. Pratt ‘and Prof. A. G. Bell, sent expressions of sympathy with the cause. " The committee reported a constitution, which is iden- tical in form with that adopted by the Boston Copyright Association. ‘The organization 1s to be termed the “International Copyright Association of the District of Columbia,” with the object of promoting the progress of sclence and the useful arts by securing an international copyright law. ‘THR OFFICERS. Officers were nominated by the committee and elected, as follows: Jas. C. Weiling, president; John Hay, Prof. Powell, Henry Strong and Dr. § M.

On studying the question in all of its relations we nd that while Englist writers suffer agreat deal, American authors suffer ten umes more. Our works are placed in direct competition with the cheap rubbish that ts being ground out of half a dozen different mills. With the finest reading mar- ket im the world, we have but a second-rate liter- ary supply. The American novel which sells at $1.50 should sell at $1, the first effect of an inter- Rational copyright will be wo lower prices.” ‘The troubie in obtaining legislation, he sald, ts that our course lies between tWo Focks, represent ing different interests.

On some of the smaller estates these are ‘sUll In use. But on all great plantations tremendous engines and machinery are now in operation, and on many, like that of El Bilboa, where by the Deronse system, the complete manu- facture of all grades of sug ir'trom the raw cane Js effected, the plant has cost $250,000, the annual outlay being also fully that sum for labor and other expenses.

ALL PLANTATIONS ALIKE. All large Cuban sugar plantations are alike. Having seen one you have seen all, so far as ex- Vernal affairs are concerned.

Many, com- pletely exhausted, threw themselves on the and Uo rest. ‘The picnic party were enurely oblivious as to what had happened at the front, and it 1s doubtrul if they could at that time have been made to believe it, although from the continuous sound of the battle they were quite certain that more than a mere militia tre was lp progress, About this time I, with some Rhode Island cers: en route to Washington, spied the pump and made for it, but found it ‘dry. We brought word that Black Horse Cavalry was but a short distance of, ‘and in a ttle time the fifteen hundred fugitives were in full retreat. The picnic teams were, with the rest, p on toward Washington, as anxtous a8 any to Increase the distance between them and the terrible Black Horse Cavairy. Our party spled the citizens, and about the same time I was by some of them. We were very thirsty, and when it was st ‘that they had something refreshing in the Wagon a halt was at once call QUENCHING THIRST. ‘Very soon a gallon. measure was produced, some {co cracked and put in with a couple of bottles of champagne, and our party was refreshed, While ‘We were congratulating ourselves that we had laid the dust in our throats, one of the citizens’ party ‘trimmed the lantern, for it was dark by Unis time, and our restaurateur prepared another dose like tne Preceding, ‘The citizens tasted, but ater a fow ‘sips found that there was something wrong with the mixture. ‘The concoctor of the beverage, however, took a long and strong oly Of the party began Complaining. “Te was thon tie. e party complaining.

Our resthura~ teur continued in much pain, and we were obliged to improvise a bed in the bottom of the wagon and cover him with a blanket. ABOUT DAYLIGHT on Monday morning we arrived at Fort Albany, where a force had been stationed to turn back the fugitives, Here the wagons were halted by a guard, and I rode up and explained that we had Gen, Piper Heldstck, who was badly wounded, in the Wagon, and I had been ordered by Gen. Mc Dowell to get him to Washington as soon ay possi. bie. In the meantime poor John under the blanket Wa groaning terribly, and ‘the sergeant express- ing sympathy for Gen.

THE GREAT LIBERATOR. Wolfs Interesting Rem- imiscences of President Lincoln, During the services commemorative of the sev- enty-ninth anniversary of the birth of President Lincoln by the National Republican League on the 12th of last month, Mr. Simon Wolf made some in- teresting remarks. He took the ground that Mr. Lincoln was a typical American—the incarnation of all that was just true and manly, not only for the Christian but for the Jew; not only for the white man, but for the negro; not only for the American, but for ail men. ‘And at no time tn my career” he’ said, “was 1 im- reeaed more with this Tact than when, on the sof the representing our great coun! abroad, one night ‘between 12 andl Sloe, whey Danquetted by one of the native vice-consuls of this country. "His son, who had been educated in Syria by the American college, arose and toasted of the great emancipator, speaking of Lincoln in fanguange that will forever Fewaly in my memory—beautiful, terse, glowing. And there, in the midst of the Egyptian ruins, with fountains on one side and flowers on the other, this remnant of adecayed race, amidst all that'which nature and art had once ‘made 80 glorious, the Han bouds:man, and now ever under the heel of the Eu- ropean task-master, gave forth his meed of praise to the great American; and I, a descendant of the exiled race, there to listen, praise and applaud,” INTERESTING INCIDENTS. In speaking of his acquaintance with President Lincoln, Mr. Wolf said: “I remember three dis- Unct tines that have impressed themselves upon my memory. One in the Senate of the United Mapes te Satin sed sees "in wi e See sal try, and, with prophetic vision, prophesies t! he will come from the West.
