Horace Greeley on Bnse Ball Playing

In his "RecollectiOns of Busy Life,
Horace Greeley writes the following:
"Ball was % common diversion in
Vermont while lived there; yet new
er became proficient att To catch a
flying ball, propelled by muscular
arm straight at my nose, and coming
on so swiftly that could scarcely see
it, was feat requiring a celebrity of
action, au electric sympathy ofeyes and
brain and hand, which my few and far
between hours snatched from labor for
recreation did not suffice to acquire.
Call it knack, if you will; it was quite
beyond my powers of acquisition. l
like popular amusements, especially
those which develope and strengthen
the muscles; but do not like the mod
ern matches made up between clubs To-
Gated hundreds of miles apart. Accord
ing to my notion, the prize should be
awarded in these matches to the side
which makes the shorter score. In
awarding the palm for such a contest,
count my vote always for the beaten
party. They doubtless mind their pro-
per business better, and perform their
duties as fathers, husbands, sons,
clerks, journeymen, apprentices, etc,
more thoroughly than do the victors.
1t is an honor not to beat, but to be
beaten, in match of this sort.

A few days since young couple,
named Peter Shea and Miss Helen Grif-
fiths Boyer, left Greenville, Henderson
county, Illinois, went to the city of
Galesburg and were married. They
took apartments at the American Hotel,
where they intended to remain two
nights. On retiring the second night
Shea, instead of turning off the gas,
blew it out. The couple, Lot appearing
at late hour in the morning, and not
responding to calls, the door was forced
open, and Shea and his wife were found
senseless from the asphyxia. Physi-
clans were Immediately called, and Mr.
Shea was brought to consciousness about
six o'clock in the evening, but Mrs.
Shea continued insensible for forty
eight hours, when she expired. Shea's
left side is completely paralyzed, and
his recovery is pronounced impossible.

The Financial Future.

IL Is said that leading Radicals OF the
next Congress are studying the hnan-
cial situation closely, with view to
attempting that solution of its prob
lens which the public voice and inter-
ests are now demanding. They may
we'll prepare TO meet the responsibilities
that they will soon be called to lace
After GRANTS inauguration there can
be no dodging. Heretofore they have
attempted to throw upon JOHNSON aud
his Cabinet the burden of the account
ability. Congress has steadily shirked
and evaded the question, deceiving the
public aud robbing the people, while
protesting economy and adopting osten-
sible measures of rctrenchment.
EjWhat could be more impadent than
the appropriation bill of the last ses-
sionl Congress- deliberately appro-
pratcd for the years expenses Of the
army, sum only sufficient to carry 1T
through the first quarter. The def
cheney will amount to twice the appro-
priation; and this will have to be made
up the coming session.
Without reducing expenses, Congress
threw OH large mass of taxes from the
manufacturers. This was intended as a
bIIbe for that class, to induce them to
contribute to the election. 1t is be-
leyed that the annual revenue was di-
miuiShed by these reductions to the ex-
tent of sixty millions. The benefited
interests could we'll afford to pay few
millions into the Radical corruption
fund in return for this magnificent
boom
This deficiency in the appropriation,
this reduction in the revenues, will be
made manifest in the reports of the
Secretaries to the opening session. The
state of affairs disclosed will disgust if
not appall the people. 1t will present
a state of finances, WI ich, if not check.
ed, will lead TO bankruptcy.
Three remedies are open to Congress :;
The reduction of expenditures.
The re-impOsition of taxes.
The reduction of the rate of interest
on the debt.
Congress cannot and will not reduce
expenditures. Such a course is against
all its instincts and habits. Instead OF
a reduction, the first proposition ii will
have to meet will be one for the in
crease Of the Presidents salary to $780,
OoO per annum, and preportionate rise
in the scale for all the office e-hOlders ut
Washington and abroad.
The re-imposition of taxes will never
be made by a Congress. whose members
owe their seats to the contribution OF
the favored capitalists.
The reduction of the rate of interest
is then the final alternative. This was
contemplated in SHERMAN's bill, and
1t will be forced through under the
pressure of public necessity. If need
be, the threat Of payment in greenbacks
may be resorted to TO compel the public
creditor to surrender his securities, for
the five per cents of SHERMAN'S bill.
In loiO, the privileged classes-the
Tariff aud Banking interest defeated
MIR. VAN BuREN. But the very next
Congress adopted the chief measure OF
his administration-the Independent
Treasury.
General GRANTS party will in like
manner bave to adopt Democratic meas
uTes of administration, or else 20 sud
denly down.

The Enquirer pointedly suggests that
the majority for SEYMOUR in New York

Off, the latter papers opposition t"
the greenback theory aud its advocacy
of the bond-holding interests having
done the party Infinite harm, not ohiy
in the West, but in New York.
The Enquirer is cruel enough to allude
TO the ugly fact that HOFFMAN, the
Democratic candidate for Governor in
New York, who boldly advocated the
qreeuback doctrine, received twenty
thousand majority more in that State
than Mr.. SEYMOUR, who in the UOrtds
uncomplimeutary words, "spurned the

The Cleveland Plaindealer says: "Pro-
fessor Cassells has had some flour from
Mahoning county under examination,
and the fact has been disclosed that it
contained poison. The circumstances
are about as follows: A man borrowed
flour from his neighbor, and subse-
quently returned the same amount. 1t
was deposited In q sack containing some
flour, and this sackful was loaned TO
another neighber, who made bread from
it that poisoned number Of persons
who ate it. Family troubles of some
kind are alleged to be the cause of the
wholesale poisoning"
