BASE BALL Some time since, we
published a communication in regard
to the good which wonld result 10
our young men, by organizing Base
Ball Club, but have neglected calling
attention 10 it further, in hope that
our public spirited young friends ii
there are such in this place-woulj
push the matter vigorously. This
game is now considered q national
one, and clubs have been organized
in all the cities and towns of any note
throughout the country. 1t affords
pleasant and healthful exercise to
a class of young men who would,
perhaps, otherwise lack an incentive
to physical development. The rules
of the game are simple and easily
learned; and in the way Of match
games between rival clubs, it affords
immense sport TO both players and
spectators. We have an abundance
of niateriel for such clubs, and should
have at least one. Let some of our
young men, who love harmless sport
and are not afraid Of little exertion,
take this matter in hand, and we will
insure them ample reward in the way
of genuine old.fashioned fun. II
they are ignorant of the rules of the
game, they may obtain them by wri-
ting to any of the clubs in Columbus,
Cleveland, or Toledo. We hope
some of our lively men may be ia.
vorably impressed with our sugges.
tons, and make q decided move in
the matter. What we want in this
day ard generation is return to
out door sports. We live too much
the shade.
Why why is it that on several
of our streets, property holders are
allowed to have large piles of wood,
sand, stone, rubbish, etc, in direct
violation of town ordinances
Why is it that cutters are not pro
perly cleaned, inasmuch as it is well
known that the filth that is allowed
to remain therein, engendcrs fatal
diseases
Why is it that some pains is not taken
by our citizens to clean up their back
yards and alleys, by destroying nox-
ious weeds, filling up sink holes, re-
moving manure piles &cP

tering the side of the nose just below the
left eye. 1t was probed four inches, and
found to have passed nearly perpendieulsrly

him for duty, and has ever since caused
much pain iu damp weather, frequently
rendering it almost impossible to swallow
At all. When coughed up on Tuesday eve.
ming last, it seemed to have come from just
below the right ear, under the jaw bone,
and caused but little pain, and was followed
by no blood. It was an ounce minnie, not
mashed out of original shape, although
dented by ooncussion With the bones in the

q soreness in the throat and giddiness in
the head for day or two, but nothing more.

of age pays for 81, 900, and at so years Of
age as much for $4,000 as one at 20 does

This, with the accumulations made to
each person insured in the form of divi.
dends, alone offers great inducements for in

In regard to the second, no Insurance
Company will take risk when the person
applying is not in sound health, with fair
prospect of long life; hence it behooVes all
to avail themselves of its advantages before
the ravages of disease have marked them
and rendered their chances of acceptance

In regard to the third, words are almost
useless ) nearly every day furnishes striking
evidence of the danger of delay. Death
suddenly overtakes those who least expect
it, and no one can say I am certain to live

In regard to the fourth it is easy to pay a
small premium, requiring but few cents
day, to secure handsome policy, while
it is exceedingly difficult to secure an a.
mount equal to the policy in any other way

The Testimony Of Candid Man.
In his RECEIPT great speech at Saratoga
New York, Senator Doolittls said:

the South who was once in Congress, and
whom I knew very well-I refer to Mr.
Curry, of Alabama, and who is now the
president of one of the colleges in that
State-and be having stated in his letter
to me that the South was completely csrri.

was given before the Reconstruction Com
mittee in Washington, and having made
that statement on the authority of Mr..
Curry 10 the Senate of the United States,

New York, who may be known to some Of

read. Speaking of the condition of the
South, he says:
"Allow me to say that l have been in

this has been done, there is still Left in the

A GERMAN ESTIMATE OF YANKEE
SwAGGER.-A late German paper publish
ed in this country, thus speaks:
The interest taken by the Americans in
the present German war is greater than it
has been 10 former warlike events of the
old world, and We do not regret this is so.
The Americans yet see before them all the
details of their own civil war. They have
not yet forgotten the endless time which
was required to strike heavy blows on the
rebels. They know their own sacrifices in
money, blood and time for the capture of
Richmond, Mobile, Atlanta and Savannah.
They saw that even their most exalted gen.
erals Could achieve great results only by
slow process and with disproportionate sac
rifces. They were ungrateful to the able
German officers, and they did not protect
them sufficiently against the Infamous machi.
nations of American Generals who syste.
mstically pushed the German Generals in
the background, whilst they knew how to
make their own native ignorance and inca.
paoity valuable. They were so much ao-
customsd to worthless officers that they
raised even the smallest of their successes
to the clouds, and they proclaimed any
officer Napoleon, Hannibal and q Caesar

"To say that the South is scaricatured'
