TIE NATIONAL GAME.

Atlantic We. Eclfford-Thc Championship Again
Transferred.
1t is almost unnecessary to mention the fact that
yesterday was nasty, bustery, disagreeape uay.
If that reality were anywhere realized il was on the
Union grounds, where the Atlantics and Eckfords
were contending for the championship. The Eek
fords, having won the toss for choice Of ground,
obliged the Atlantics to meet them on the Union
grounds and, to see the home and home game, there
assembled at the grounds crowd Of spectators
remarkably large, considering the unpropitious
weather. How the wind did whistle across the
field; how the lags and banners did snap and
ami whip; how everything did betoken the miser.
able state Of the atmosphere. The players danced
around to keep themselves warm and the specta-
totors stamped and patted and swung their arms TO
counterfeit the cold. Had the game been less inter.
estng the fact might have been otherwise but the
spectators were pleased by the display as a whole
and the PLAYERS fighting sharply and steadily and con-
tending every point were repaid to certain extent,
for their forDearance IN PLAYING IN such nncheerng
weather. To attempt to detail the game would be
su 'erluOus. The wind was decidedly against heavy
batting and the second and third basemen had,
therefore, the greatest part Of the work 10 do. The
score OF the game Is as follows:-

meeting Of this committee should be fully attended,
as no committee in any association Is OF as much
Importance as that Of the Committee on Rules.

CoIouiziuR Politicians.

Such fellows as Jim Ashley, of Ohio
who has been colOniEed by. Grant IL
Montana, to act as its Governor, are
thus treated by that Republican sheet,
the San Francisco Alta, which says:
If the Hon. Augustus Noodle has been
defeated in the Congressional district
which had the honor of being repre-
scented by him last year, he becomes in
Washington parlance, "lame duck, )"
and must be provided for. A Territorial
Governorship keeps him in the succulent
honOTs of place, and affords him u
chance at a Senatorship when he
succeeds in making State out
of the Territory. From the
moment he sets foot in the boundaries
of this new bailiwick, he begins to lay
his plans to drag the weak and sparsely
settled Territory into the dignity of n
State, with full.iledged officials, and
what is more, two representatives IN
the United States Senate. The Govern
orship has no charms for him; his resi-
dence in the crude settlements where
his unlucky fates have cast him is an
intolerable bore, and he looks forward
only to the time when he may be able
to return to the flesh pots of Washington
as a Senator, Representative, or to say
the least, as Territorial delegate. He
has no ties in the Territory, no interest
in its development, save in the indirect
way of initiating it temporarily for the
purpose of drageoning it into Stateship;
and when he finally leaves, as he does
soon, for the National Capital, he thanks
his stars that he Is well out of the woods
and on his way to more congenial
scenes.
There is more truth than poetry in
that, Mr.. alta, as the political history of
the country within the past few years
will attest.-CinciRRGti Enquirer.

An Extraordinsry Man.

The Mercer (Pa.) Dispatch says: One
Of the most extraordinary cases of pecu
liar formation in the human body we
witnessed few days since at Connel.
Tvs Hotel, Mercer, in the person of a
colored man, a stranger. 1t is hardly
correct perhaps, to call 1t case OF NAL
formation, as the phenomena were en-
tirely internal, the man presenting no
unusual appearance whatever. Tins
person, by some inward muscular power,
which he caunot explain, can shift the
position of his heart at will. We went to
see him, not believing more than hall
we had been told, but were convinced
in less time than il takes to write 1T. he
requested us to satisfy Ourself that his
heart was in the position usually occu-
pied by that organ. Placing our hand
on his breast we could feel its beating
distinctly. He then commenced Sc
ries of contoTtiOns with his abdomen,
rolling it over and over several times.
At the conclusion of this striking exhi-
bition, we placed our hand upon a lump
in his left side below his waist, and
there was the heart humping away as
If nothing unusual was the matter. A
few more contortions and the risky or
gan passed across the abdomen and on
the right side kept up its work of throw
Jag che blood through the system as
regularly as if in it's natural position
More contortions and it Travelled
back home, its course being easily traced
under the skin till it passed under TIT
RIBS. The man then commenced sor
of rotary motion Of the bowels, appa
rently turning them over several times
when we felt a complete set of ribs GOV
ering the abdomen, the regular set being
in their usual place. Turning the bow
els in the opposite direction, the tals'
ribs disappeared. On being asked if hi
parents had any mere children like him
he replied that he had q brother ovel
six feet high, who could reduce bis stat
ure to something less than three feet
We believed him readily after having
witnessed the above performance.
