of dealing with its youthful infractor.
THAT GAME OF BALL.-As had been
previously announced, the return game
of base ball between the Mears Club OF
Steubenville and the Battles of our city,
came off on the Island Fair Grounds
yesterday afternoon. The weather was
fine and the spectators assembled IN
great numbers to see the sport. There
were at least five hundred people,
among whom were many ladies. The
Battles won the first inning and went
to the bat and scored three, when the
Mears put them out and went to the
bat, scoring eleven. Thus went the
game, pretty nearly to its close, when
the score stood: Mears, 80: Battles Is,
We have no legitimate excuse for eur
Battles other than this-they lack prac-
tice. To become real adopts at base
all-playing, constant practice lis re-
quired. Their feelings were good. We
observed one practice resorted to by
our Battles which operated greatly to
their Acknowledgements of throwing
balls to basemen to head the runner.
In many cases the balls were not caught
and passing far beyond the baseman at
the base, gave the runner q chance to
make another base. Caution is the
parent of safety.
In addition to the sport of tue game
of ball there were other diverting
scenes. Mr.. Vernon has o beautiful pet
deer that runs in the Fair Grounds and
seems to think himself monarch of all
he surveys" He mingles promiscuous-
" in the crowd, and is at home in any
kind Of company. This young deer and
Mr.. Vernon's dog took it into their
heads to have a race. Away they went
at break-neck speed. The deer finally
won the race. Again, considerable
excitement was created by lot of
boys, and some pretty large ones at that,
getting on the top of the stall sheds so
as to witness the sport, "frec gratis for
nothing" Mr.. Vernon, in imitation
of the old man who found the rude
boy in his apple-tree, threw tufts of rot
ten straw, &c, at them to make them
move. This made them laugh. Mr.. V.
then tried something more substantial
and finally cleared the roof of the
crowd who claimed their title by
"squatter sovereignty"
Thus ended the afternoons sport on
the Island, which was very entertain
ing to the spectators, and must have
been very tiresome to the base-ballists
whe labored hard to win n victory.
Aside from the exercise we cannot see
the benefit derived from such fatigue.
But custom, whose rules are always ar
bitrary, has so fixed the fashion, and to
refuse to follow her footsteps would
dub one a dolt. So, hurrah for base
ball. Below we give the score:

of the officers and the men whe were af-

two occasions, came in sight of the vii
lain, but his capture had not been eff
fected when our informant left. One
night, Monday, he slept in stable,
while his pursuers were in the same
neighborhood and within short dis
lance of him. The excitement is so
high that some fear he will be lynched
when caught. The boldness Of the acts,
together with the peculiar tact by which
he evades his pursuers, stamps him as
bad and dangerous character. It.is to
be hoped that he will be caught, and
that the civil law will have chance
of dealing with its youthful infractor.

BrxcnsR ON KIsslNs following
scene 10 from Norwood" 1T WAS even
ing twilight. They sat alone in the porch.
4 few late blossoms of the Chinese honey
suckle shed down truce of perfume
through the air. There were no locusts
singing. no kasydida, nor gurgling criok-
cts, yet some soft sounds certainly hoard.
Not birds, surely! I think it must have
been the plash Of one honeyeuckle blown
against another Yet there is DO wind to

is like the falling of a drop Of dew into the
silver lake from some birchen leaf! No,
that is rude. 1t is as if two dreams, float
ing in the night, had clashed; or like the
joining of two prayers of love on their way
upward or-pay it was a kiss pure,
sacred, holy. 1t is the souls symbol,
when words fail it. 1t is the hearts sigh,
or interjection, when it has feeling for
which there is no experience !"

is so violent that they often appear like
people possessed. This probably arises
from their extreme aversion to all other
physical exertion, many of them living to
an old age without ever having got on
horseback or taken a healthy walk. They
possess no sense of poetry, and seem to
have contempt for the beauties of nature,
despising the pleasures of country life.
They have no love of sport. Shooting,
fishing, hunting, racing, are almost un-
known among them, and there is not a
single yacht in the Black Sea, where it is
summer off the south coast all the year
round. Their houses, when most splen-
did, are but decorated with gliding and
looking-glass. They rarely boast a pic
ture, statute or flower. Their reckless
expenditure and unthrift are equal to their
covetousness. Nowhere is dress so costly
or so soon spoiled A boyard will give
eight hundred guineas for a black foxskin
cloak lining, and when he takes it off in
the dntechamber of IL ballroom, his foot
man will roll himself up in it until ordered
to give it back again The most costly
ladies' dresses made in Paris go to Russia
but young Muscovite belle will think
nothing of getting into narrow, open
drotzsky and rushing about with her train
spread over the wheels through the sludge
till it is spoilt. There is British belief
that Ru sian dinners are of delic;t fare,
and made gay by fruits and pretty flowers.
Nothing of the kind. The viands are coarse
and ill-assortcd the cookery is abomina-
bic. Raw fish, raw ham, mushrooms in
oil, strong cheese, fermcnted cabbage, eaten
with sour cream. boiled corn, boiled suck
ing-pig, small beer, soup, with cold fish,
salt cucumhers ice and fennel in it; this,
with baked fowls, is the staple food among
opulent gentry; and it is washed down
with raw spirits and a beverage called
quass, more nauseous that any konwn in
tho West.

Russian Social Manners.

The following highly colored pictures
of Russian social life we cut from one of
our English exchanges. There is proba-
bly, grain of truth in it, but Americans
will hardly credit,the account as it reads
We are told that:
Perhaps the worst characteristic of
Russian society, when it does not care to
put on holiday foreign manners, is its ex-
treme coarseness. Every one is rude and
loud. All the company who have any
thing to say talk together at the top of
their voices. No one listens. They con-
tradict each other fatty; they abuse they
quarrel they make it up over the tea-ta-
BILE. They absolutely take constitutional
exercise in talking, and their department
