MAINS WAS BADLY MAULED. The Tall Apostle Fares Little Bet- ter Than Mr Tuckerman. . GOOD WORK WITH THE STICK. Hard Hits and Plenty of Them, Backed By Brilliant Fielding, Aguin Upset the Visitors From the North. Omaha 10, St. Paul 8, Ono of the largest crowds that ever as- sembled at the ball park was thers yester- day afternoon to see the Omahas and St Pauls play tho final game of their present series. Over five thousand people were gathered ‘within the spacions enclosure, packing the grand stand to suffocation, and crowding the bleaching boards to their fullest capacity. Encircling the field, too, was a cordon of buggies and ocarriages filled with eager, in- terested spectators, whilo the grass plots on each-side of the diamond were tnickly dotted with the recumbent. forms of men and boys. Tndeed, tho crowd was a great one, and under the mellow June sunshme furnished @ picturesque scene thaywas a sight within i And of all the masses there, everyone, al- most, save those injudicious enough to put up thoir stuff on the Aposties, had gone there to cheer Omaha. And they did cheer Omaha —cheered her untilsome of them must have oracked their throats, for once more the ‘White Sox won the game, Thus, of the nine games the two teams have played so far this season, Omaha has won six, taking the last three straight. Isn't that doing pretty well with the leaders, and don’t you think we have a chance yet for the flag ¢ Buy this is how it happened : Cooney, the first batter up, went back to the bench on a little one to Werrick and Hawes, Cleveland drove the first bail itehed to center for a base, and on Strauss’ Buo on balls was forced to second. The audience seemed to feel instinctively that mething was going to happen, end when pretty little Jotnny Crooks came to the bat, there was a low, mariginous sound in the grand stand like the mutterings of distant thunder. - "Put her anywhere near the plate, Willle,” ealled Crooks to the telephone pole pitching for St. Paul, *‘and I'll kill it.” This made Mains hot, and bending his form forward until his nose nearly touched his knees, he suddenly straightened up, and ;v-h':z came the ball, and bang went Juck's it was a timely hit, and before Carroll could recover the sphere and get it back into the diamond, Cleveland ana Strauss had crossed the rubber, and Crooks was on third, The wutterings 1n the grand stand changed to a roar, and as it was caught up by the bleachers, it made a deafening din, indeed, And thut wasn't all of it. Andrews came right along after this Je- | lightful smash, and before Willie Mains could realize what had taken place, the ball ‘was over in Parmelee’s yard, and, arm in arm, Crooks and Wally waltzed home. The great crowd fairly made earth and atmosphere vibrate. It is such a revivifying spectacie to see your side making runs, and your cnemy’s falling quietly back into the puree. ‘Walsh was the next batter up, but he ro- tired on a grounder to Hawes, who then muffed Nagle's hit and gave Tommy his Das A moment later he came home on Willis' fine drive to conter. Nichols ended the innngs from Werrick to Hawes, The Apostles couldn’t do anything in their half. Nichols was at his best and the saintly cohort could do nothing with him. There were some close shaves, however, and it was only some murvelous pick-ups and thminx throws by Grover and Walsh, and briiliant work of the whole team all around, that shut out runs on divers occa- sions, Crooks und Andrews, by a neat double play in the socond, evidentiy saved tally or two, LT . In the fourth Omaha made her sixth run, After the speedy rotirement of Willis and Nichols, Cooney got in his work witha clever bunt, and on Cleveland’s second hit, ran clear round home. Of course the crowd again ‘“‘acted up" just awfully, Everybody said that the game was clinched. But, as has probably been remarked be- fore this season, base ball isa very uncer- tain game, and the old adage that there is many & banana peel between the lip and the dlx?m-h 8 good one to have in mind when nlging in the sport. 2 aul gathored hersolf togother in the sixth and made three runs. ‘That wasn’t quite 8o nice, Roilley went out from Old Reliable Buf- falo to Andrews. Then Werrick, who had struck out at both of his previous times at the bat, laced out a two-sacker. Farmer struck out, and again it looked as if St. Paul would not et & run. Broughton, however, camo to the rescue, and with o slashing two- bagger to left, sent Werrick home, reach- ing there himself in a few seconds later, on a hit by Wagenhurst. The New Yorkor glided to second on the throw-in, went to third on u passed ball, and home on an error by Walsh. Hawes struck out. Then, as exasperating as it was, after blanking in the seventh, they came right back at us and tied thescore! T!fiornwd couldn’t believe it, and they looked dubiously av their score cards again and again, But the runs were there, as big as so many horses, and here's how they made them: Mur) made a single, Carroll a tnree- or, Willis an error and Farmer a hit, and the work was done. Murphy, Carroll aud Reilley got home, and ®ll or Omaha's previous good work was ap- E:mntly wiped out as if by u colossal eraser the hands of a glant. That wasn’t quite so exhiliarating, and no more mad howls of glee, worth speaking of, were heard fracturing the ambient air. Gho&ue eggs on the balf shell for both in the © 3 ut in the ninth Omaha caught Lier second wind, and by Cleveland's base on balls, Strouss’ life on Wagenhurst's wall-eyed blunder. and a rattling drive by Andrews, ‘we again forged to the front by two runs. A prolonged shout testified to the big orowd’s delight. J A moment later a great hush foll over the ifl)uudn, _for the indomitable Apostles re- used to be down, and they came right back 8t us and again tied the score. made another innings necessary, and ‘what a daisy it was, ‘Walsh led off with a three-bagger, way over Carroll's head, and then, after anls had retired, Willis drove him home after a fashion he has, and pandemonium was aguin cut loose. Then Cooney came forward, and, to pro- long the tumultuous joy of the people, hit the ball on the cercbellum and made three cushions on it, Willis, of course, making home. Cleveland flew out to Murphy. It was & memorable inning, and won the hardest fought battle that ever took place on the local grounds. The Saints went out in one, two, three o lad to from Omaha, oy are gl get away from Omaha, don't you think? The score: OMATIA, Cooney, cf .

WANT A FOOD COMMISSION. The Farmers May Ask For Protec- tion Against Bogus Groceries—A Union of Shoriffs and Marshals ~Des Moines Notes, Better Butter, Des Moixes, Ta., June 28.—[Special to Tne BEr. |—Few people, who have not observed closely, are aware how the dairy interests of Towa have increased. It is fast becoming one of the 18ading states in this respect. Dairy Commissioner Sherman, in a recent interviow, gave some information about the progress that is being made in northwestern Towa. He said that that section of the state is moroasing its make of dairy butter from 20 to 25 per cent this yoar over last, and the increase, ho thinks, 18 aue to new creameries and the enlarged capacity of those already established. When asked about what is called the co-operative plan in creameries, he said: “It is working well, and is always succossful where the farmers are honest with themselves and put in agood intelligent man to manage the business for them. The most striking feature of this system is the method of securiag the raw product. The creameries are largely c)\unginf from the gathered cream system to the full milk plan, and are using separators for this purpose. In this way they get a better product, and it permits e creawery man to take care of his own milk instead of throwing it upon the farmer who does not always have the facil- ities for doing it well, or the inclination fo be careful, If one farmer, under the cream gathering process, has r croam, it will spoil all the productof that churning. Three gallons of poor cream in a churn containing one hundred gallons, wiil spoil the whole batch—either at once or immediately after the jroduct is turned out. The creamery mau, with all the facilities at hand, can be absolutely sure of the nature of his cream, if he is allowed to separate it himself, and the disposition to let him do so instend of having each farmer bring his own cream, 18 increns- ing. I look upon this industry us one that is likely to incrense rather than decrease, for it is better adapted to Iowa than raising grain.” Sheriffs and Marshals Unite. Des Moixes, Ia., June 23.—[Sgecial to Tune Bee.]—The tendency to association of persons engaged in similar pursuits has led 1o the forming of a great many organizations in this State. The sheriffs of the state have such an association and so have the city marshals, Lastweek each of these organi- zations held 1ts annual meeting, the marshals at Oskaloosa and the sheriffs at Ottumwa, As they happened to be in session at the same time, they exchanged courtesies, by wire at first, and then the marshals went down in a body to Ottumwa and proposed union, and the proposal was accepted. Here- after they will hold jomnt meetings, ana unite togethor for the common interests. Théir future meetings will be held at the same place and time, each branch holding a separate convention tho first day, and a jont convention the second day. The next meet- ing will be held in Des Moines, December 18 and 19, 1880. One of the chief topies dis- cussed at the recent meeting of the mar- shals was the tenure of taeir office and the term of office of policemen, Under the pres- ent laws, the mayor appoints the marshal and all the police, The mayor is elected, and often has but one term of two years, as is the case in this city. A new mayor thare- fore has the power, and often the disposition to make a clean sweep in the poliee force, thus removing old and competent and tried officlals who ought to have been kept upon the force. The marshals’ convention pro- posed that a bill should be submitted to the legislature, providing that the marshal, and not the mayor, shall appoint the policemen, or that police commissions be established in every city to govern appointments and dis- missals. This contemplates the introduction of the metropolitan police system through- out the state, and it is believed that it would add much to the efficiency of the. service in many places. The convention also discussed at some length the subject of the tramp nui- sance. A committee was instructed to bring this subject before the legislature, and ask for a law which will compel boards of supe r- visors to provide a rock pile or other placge {for tramps to work. It was believed that 1f the genus tramp could be obliged to do somte honest work in every place at which he ap- pearcd, the genus would soon disappear. Want a Food Commission. Des MoiNes, Ia, June 23.—|Speclal to Tne Bee|—At each general assembly the farmers of Iowa have for several years had some special subject in which they were in- terested, and for which they asked legisla- tion. The coming winter wiil probably see no exception to this practice. One of the leading farmers of the state was recently asked as to what the farmers wanted from the uext legislature. He replied: “‘What we now need is a food commission, some- thing after the order of that lately provided by the Wisconsin legislature. Our dairy products are clean now. The trade in bogus butter has been stamped out. But several other kinds of food need purifying. If we farmers are obliged to put a stamp on our butter to show that it is good, why shouldn’t our pepper, sugar and coffee also be stamped, or at least be tested by competent authority before exposed for sale? Everv one knows that these articles are often adulterated, and nobody knows how much the public 18 in- jured by eating the impuritics that are sold for the genuine article, We ought to have a food comnmission headed by a competent and practical chemist, and I shall not be sur- prised if the legislature next winter is asked to create one.

Keppart, pastor of the United Brethren church, of this city, hus accepted an election to the presidency of Lebanon college, Pa. ‘The Holiness association, mcluding mem- bers from all denominations, has been hold- ing a camp-meeting in the outskirts of this city for the past week.

They have attracted a number of visitors, The Tippecanoe Veterans club still keeps up its organization in this city and holas roF- ular meetings- Saturday, Jul% 0, it will hold an auniversary meeting, having been organized, at that tiwe, just one year. It was one of the first Tippacanoe clubs organ- ized during the campaign, and during its brief existence it has done a large smount of campaign work, listened to innumerable songs and l{)cethus, furnished a delegation of respectable looking old gentlemen to sit upon the stage at all public meetings, and expended $1,100 for the good of its cause.

The battle of Chickamuaga was al- together the most horrible tragdy in the most tragic strife of modern times. writes Stanhope Sams in the Atlanta: Journal. ‘I'be real history of that fight cannot be told in the marble sculpture of some magniticent memorial of vietory. It was written once, and best written, upon the hearts of thousands who saw the death struggie, in the shrieks of wounded men, dying in deserted heaps between the lines J battle, or perish- ing howlsn;y and miserably in the flwmes kindled by the torch or by fiery shot. dead were not those alone who had been moreally wounded, Want of surgical atteution, want of gwater, that swopt over the n onset which no sol- flh:r could wi nd, swelled the fatal Ist. As picturé®ito me by the soldiers who had _fou, throughout those two terrible days, e scenes must have been horribly pathetio. My regime in the first charge of Fetor and n's brlfinde,"uid an old soldier td me. I fell in the front line at the !nw t point we pushed to in tho assaul,/%nd when the brigade fell back bcwr . Baird’s charge 1 was loft between the lines. Other wounded soldiers had fallgn close to me, and [ could hear their low moans between the hissing shot. Bullets hurtled above us and raked the earth about uson ell sides- Branches cut from the trees by shot ana shell fell like hailstones. Now the federals would charge over us, to be driven back by the confederates; but always we lay there in the path of bullets, and one by one died nluwl¥. The second day the flames crackling in the woods took up the role of destruction, though they did not reach me before the ‘rebel yell’ that Sunday evening told that we had won. I was picked up that evening after lying wounded two days between the lines.” This would seem to be bad enough, but it was not the worst. The woods were as dry as powder, and they were 1n some way set on fire during the fight Sunday. The widow Glenn’s house, Rosecrans’ headquarters, was burned down. All through the woods that skirted the right side of the Dry Valley road there haa been terrific fightin, and heavy slaughter, The dead an wounded cumbered the ground. Through the corpse-laden grove swept the long line of fire. It leaped from twig to twig, from leaf to leaf, and from corpse to corpse. Neither blue nor gray was spared by this barbarian spoiler. Nor did the dead only constitute this enor- mous funeral pyre; the wounded soldiers, stricken down by shot, writhed and groaned amid the flames. 5 ‘I saw where dying men lay in the track of the fire,” said a confederate soldier, “but I could do nothing, I was wudgod in the line and on a wild rush at the enemy. There was only one way to go—straight ahead. When I came back the ground had been_swept by the flames and the wounded had ceased their groaning. *On Sunday morning,” said the same soldier, ‘‘as our division was being hur- ried forward to the center, I noticed a littlr hut in the woods in which were crowded at least fifty, possibly one hun- dred, wounded men. No surgeon was with them. They had no watet, no food, no one to offer consolation. They were absolutely alone—awaiting death. Late that evening I retnrned throngh that same wood. The flames swept away the hut. I know not how many had perished, but T could see charred flesh and bones.in the ashes.” Poor Lytle was dying in ()hnttnnniu, mortally woundédyin that ghastiy fight, but he had friends and peace around him, ““The path to Stygian horrors” was lighted for, these wretches by the flames of their own funeral pyre. b et o COOLLECTING DEBTS. How Local Mérchiants Are to Protect Themselves. Omaha merchants have o rganized a local branch of the Nebraska State Business Men's association. They claim that their plans are so arranged that, after due notice has been given niqebtor, and settlement is not made, under no circumstances will the merchant give hifd ¢redit without security. The association, it is saidis extending over he state, Plattsmouth, Nebraska Oity, Blair, Grund Island, Hastings and Central City having branches The worlk is under the supervision of the Commercial Directory company of tfiis city, and the merchants, it is claimed, are adopting their reference book to conform with this association. In this manner, it is said, if a man mo7es to any gnrl of the state his crediv follows him. If e should leave an honest, unpaid bill behind him, the merchants claim he will find the as- sociation in his new town unaer th2 same re- strictions as that in the town he laft. They also say that this plan does not differ from ‘what they are subject to every day. They claim they must pay their bills or stop asking credit, and tais is all they ask of the consumer. The local association in this city, it is said, comprises a number of the leading business houses in the city und the suburban stores, The reculdr monthly meeting of the Omaha branch is held on the last Monday in each month at the Y.

Price 50 cents, OLD ROMAN RUINS IN SPAIN. Soenes of Pecullar Interest to Amer- ican Travelors, WHERE COLUMBUS IS REVERED, Beautiful Views From the Harbor of Barcelona~Picturesque Costumes of the Peasants—Delights for Antiquarian Students. Relies of Roman Rule. We entered Spain by the flowery road of Avignon and Nismes, says Mrs, M. E. W. Sherwood, writing from Valencia to the New York World. TLeaving Paris cold and dreary behind us, we found ourselves 1 the Land of Blos- soms soon at Lyons. This long detour was necessary if we bought Cook’s tickets, which, being asaving of 40 per cent, we were glad to do. Besides it is in this cold, late spring by far the most agreeablo way of entering Spain. Ire- member long ago talking with the poet Bryant about Spain, which he often visited. “Avoid the seacoast and Madrid when it is cold; go to Barce- lona, Tarragona and Valencia first,” was his wise advice, and I am very glad to have followed it, for we found the country a rapture of blossoms. Avignon, as a stopping place, is something de- lightful, not only for the Roman re- mains, but for a sort of aroma of past and present, as if the ghosts of the old popes were blowing off their unused in- cense over the flower-laden fields. Pe- trarch and Laura still haunt these gar- dens, Rienzi, last of the tribunes, is still chained by the leg in yonder mon- astery tower. Avignon is a haunted town, and has a neat and quaint hotel, like the Peacock at Matlock. We passed also a day at Nismes, very fine, then to Perpignun, and s0 on to Barcelona. The railroad ride from Perpignan, with the Mediterranean on one side, the snowy Pyrennees on the other, is exceedingly enjoyable- There we saw fresh the wonderful crimson clover, in color like a Jaqueminot rose. Of all nature’s carpets this is the most beauti- ful. Also the yellow lupia and the white spirea, most elegant of wild flowers, and a blue flower, which shall remain anonymous because I do not know what it was. 1 only have the im- portant information to give Lou that 1t was most beautiful, and as blue as heaven— As blue as if the sky let fall A piece of its cerulean wall, Old stone ruins began to crop out, and we were aware that the Phoenicians and the Romans had been here before us, The blossoming trees coquettod with these old stone walls, and the peaches blushed against them, as the Iberian maids may have done when the dark eyed conquerors made love to them with their black eyes. It wasan ex- uisite dag. What a blessed change rom cold, bleak, rainy Paris, which was never so disagreeable as it was this year. S1GIITS TN BARCELONA. Barcelona surprised us with its air of prosperity, movement and grandeur. Splendid seaport, where Ferdinand and Isabelle came to greet Columbus on his return from the new world. He stands there on his lofty pillar, does Columbus, looking over the sea and pointing to New York—the fine old undismayed creature, one of the world’s heroes. As if our hearts were not swelling enough, as if the lump were not big enough in the throat, we were surprised to see some of Uncle Sam’s sailors riding along in an_omnibus carrying a flag which looked very familiar, and the strains of the “*Star Spangled Banner” greeted our ears. 1t is an accident which may happen in any great sea- port, but it was uncommonly apt just then. Columbus was being serenaded b‘y our hearts, our eyes and our bands. The grand cathedral was, of course, our first pilgrimage. Here I saw the - cifix which Don John, of Austria, car- ried at the prow of his ship at the bat- tle of Lepanto. The image is violently bent to one side as if to avoid the bullets. The grand gothic pillars of immense height, the stained glass, the extent of this huge gothic edifice pre- pare us fop greater wonders still fur- ther on. If'was first a pagan temple, then a mosque of the Moors, but be- became a christian temple about 1058, which seems to be the date of every- thing in Spain. Barcelona is the only city which I have seen with the sidewalks in the middle of the streets—that is to say, the people have the middle of the street for a broad promenade, while carriages and street cars run at the side. No one can imagine how much prettier and more convenient this is. The “Rambia,” with its double row of fine trees shelter- ing this broad promenade, the carringes and street cars being relegated to the sidesis one of the prettiestsights I ever saw. This is the great vein of the or artery rather. Down its bre runs the bluest blood of the city. “Parque” is full of fine treesand flower- ing shrubs, fountains and lakes. T noticed a richly gilt chariot of victory on top of an arch. Gen. Prim in stone stands at the entrance. The magnolins overhang an imposing cascade, and an avenue of paimetto paim leadsup to the gatewny. A wide and handsome quay at the foot of the statue of Columbus darts out into the sea, making a lovely promenade. Wo drove to the fort of Monprich, a fortress of counsiderable strength, which was, however, surprised and taken by Lord Peterborough in 1705, . The view was magnificent, Not only the fine city, but the noble harhor, with its famous memories, lay at our feet. Barcelona is said to ranic as a’ mercan- tile port only a little lower than Liver- pool and Marseilles. Lverywhere in the churches hang the S in stone, us if just cut off. This tribute to a defeated foe shows of how much fmn- portance he was. They ave very inte esting as bosses and corbels, though that stare of a recently beheaded wan cannot be called altogether ploasing. think if I had been taken to church i the cathedral in early youth, Ishould have been frightened to death at them. The capitals in cloister and cathedral are well worthy of study, PONTIUS PILATE'S BIRTHPLACE, We left Barcelona with regret to take a delightful journey to Turragona The country about Barcelona is ex- tremely beautiful, and we bado furewel to these blood-red fields of elover, which reminded us of Hannibal apd his father, Amilca Baica, who Ikiiled 3,000 here. During the middle ages Barcelona was the lord of the Meditor- ranean, Trade has never been held a degradatign. The Catulans are the Yankees of Spain—wide ake, pros- perous and industrious, very unlike those further sonth. Tarragona is, for Roman vemains and Gothie avchitecture, onc of the most interesting places in Spain, We found bere an excellent hotsl—the Hotel de Paris—aot an inevitable thingin Spaia, an excgllent hotel, Here we went to see the opean walls, enormous stones laid together by giants. Nobody koows what sort of huwman arms could bave lifted thesc rock The Tarrago- nese claim Pontius Filute us & towns- man, and fondly show his birthplace, They may have him if they wish and keep him, The walls, ruin upon ruin, are intense- ly interesting; Cavthaginian, Moovish, Toman. They tell the story of threo or four races, perhaps half a dozen. I pleased myself by beliaving that some captive ginnt nogroes, hungry and des- pairing, lifted these first stones into place. They look as if they might be the first burden the white man laid on those long-suffering shoulders. The drive about Tarragona, looking over these Roman towers, to the Mediterran- ean, is superb. Tho cathedral, of a rich, yellow, Sienna-looking marble, is one of the most interesting in Spain, and its cloisters, with their priestly garden full of flowers and trees, are & museum of antiquity and a spot of unearthly per- fection and beauty. The rounded arched double doorway, the capitals marvel- lously sculptured, the clegance of these Moorish arches and delicate shafts of marble, make a walk around this swoet spot an enchanting pleasure. 1 have soon nosuch cloisters, Those in Rome, of St. Paul’s, without the walls, come nearer to this delightful, this fabulous wealth of traceryand intricate carving than any other. Here we met the Tarragonese people -——mothers with picturesque babies look- ing like little Murillos, beggars in the proverbial cloak, young gallants and pretty girls with handkerchiefs around their heads. Tho black Spanish eye, in all its phenomenal loveliness and sad- ness, isseen here, The women all look sad—perhaps it is only a variety of beauty, however. We drove to the public square to hear some fine music. The soldiers were all out, and, as the band struck up a gay waltz, a few senors and senoritas m\m-ufi off, in & most Fanny Ellsler manner, with a wild grace which was enchant- ing. Many of the women wear the mantilla. They are all picturesque, from the shepherd in the fields, who wears his striped plaid as if he were standing for his picture, to the lady on her balcony. REMINDERS OF THE PAST. It being Snm:lclyl and a feast day, we saw the famous old tapestries, of which the Cathedral at Tarragona js famous. These are chiefly Flemish, and are said to have belonged before the Refor- mation to St. Paul’s, London. How they got here, nohody kuno An BEng- lishman offered the bishop 20,000 guiveas for thom, an offer indignantly refused. Remuins of the Roman aqueduct, the ever-wonderful arches, the towers, all remain to testify to this city of the cipios. It is n citadol surrounded by vinoyards. These old Romans loved the wine, which rivalled the Palernian, and_ which still goes up to France to redden and enrich the clarets and Bur- gundies. Augustus raised this city to be the capital after the Cantabrian cam- paigns, and from this place. 26 B. C., he issued his de closing the Temple of anus forever. It was an imperial town. Conveniently situated for com- munication with Rome, this stronghold was the winter residence of the privtor. We can imugine the gay, hardy Rom- ans sailing across the Mediterranean to this their winter city. But it was taken by the Goths, and the Moors later made of it a heap of ruins, and these ruins re- mained undisturbed for four centuries. Now to the antiq an it is a sort of Pompeii. The wine business makes it o prosperous town. Its harbor is full of coasting vessels. The wine is like sherry, to my taste notagreeable. The lhighter vintages are sent to Bordeaux to fortify the claret, while the full- bodied varieties, known as “‘Spanish reds,” wre shipped to England and America under the name of port. Our ride w Valencia was a long one. For some distance out of Tarragona the scenery is dull, stony and most uninter- esting. The Mediterranean seemed in- nocent of a single 1, though always blue and beautiful. * Here and there at a fishing village the scene was pretty, as the fishermen carry the nets on their heads in _a_peculiar manner, but we began to believe that Spain could be the dry, arid, blasted heath which we had been prepared to believe it. But as the afternoon wore on,we came into a land where every breeze brought us the delightful perfume of orange blossoms—groves upon groves and acre upon acre of orange trees in full bloom, palm trees and flowers mingled with the white locust, which fell in clusters on the road. Now we knew we had reached the carefully irmgated fields of the Moors, as we saw the trickling streams of water percolating through the mendows. Spain began to smile again, and responds with fruit and flowers to the care and wisdom of her banished children, those mtelligent Moors. We reached Valencia at 9 o'clock, fatigued. Worn out with the creeping Spanish railway,and a crowd of beggars about the station, we were glad to get to our hotel. The famous city of the Cid has an air of solid nobility. Its avrched colonnades, narcow streets, fine plaza, open areades, are thoroughly Spunish. But I must give another let- ter to this treasure-house of Moorish architecture. There is enough to see in every city to allow of a volume of de- scription. It is the country of perpetual surprises. 1DL e, DAYS. Where They Will Be Whiled Away by Educators.
