THE PROFITS OF BASE BALL T

TIE PROFITS OF BASE BALL Toss1NG. "A New York correspondent of the Chi
 cago Times gossips as follows concerning professional base ball players:- The Mutuals, of New York, pay an average of $1, 200 each to eleven players. The Ath- letics of Philadelphia, pay $12,20O to eleven players. The Baltimore Club, of that city, have appropriated $12, 100 for ten players. Harry Wright's great Bos- ton Club receive an average of $1 200. some of the players not receiving more than $9oo or $1 ,OO0, while it is said that the two Wrights-Harry, the captain,and his brother George, the short stop, and best general player in the country-each is paid $3, 900. The Haymakers, of Troy pay the largest amount in gross, they dis bursting $15,600 for twelve players an average of 300. The Cleveland Forest City club pay their men an average of $1,5OO. When it is considered these amounts are for seven months service, it will be admitted that the pay is not bad. It is, however, unevenly distributed, the catcher and pitcher getting the larger share. Some of the pitchers get as much as $3, ,0O0, because so much of the success of the season depends upon the skill, en- durance and stamina of the pitcher. h. deed, have been told that it requires to tempt Arthur Cummings from the side of hls pretty, new-married wife, no less a sum than $8, ,5oO or at the rate of $125 a week for seven months, with all railroad and steamboat fares, hotel bills, &c., paid while travelling. Cummings was former ly pitcher for the Stars of Brooklyn, but is now engaged by the Mutuals. He is said to be the best pitcher in the country.

BLAZING HIS WAY.-Peter Cartwright having been brought up in log cabin, did not like climbing stairs, and when he took up his quarters ill a hotel he preferred rooms on 8 lower floor. He once went to Chicago and booked him self at the Fremont House. The preach CT was assigned to a room in the eighth or ninth story. Soon after being shown to his room, Cartwright rang the bell. A waiter was promptly in attendance. 'I want an axe," said Cartwright. The astonished servant said he would procure one. Having obtained an axe, Cart wright asked the waiter to guide him down stairs. At the first turn iR the stairs, Cartwright blazed his mark in the walnut baluster. The dumbfounded waiter asked what he meant. "I want to know my way back to my room again." said Cartwright. The preacher was assigned to a room at more rural distance from mother earth.

its way into the market, and is destined, so
far as can now be %forseeD, to supply the de-

slow to appreciate the merits Of the article;
her demand has been greater than that OF our
own country, and 1t is constantly increasing.
There has thus grown up a direct trade be-
tween South Carolina and England, the great
difficulty being to fnd freight for the former
sufficient for the ships required to transport
the rock. Besides the export of the crude
material, large quantities are manufactured IN
Charleston, and The competition between Diff

Southern planter from this reduction, added
to the increased ease with which fertilizers
may be obtained, will be seen at 9 glance,
and, iron q combination Of this with other
causes, there is a manifest effort upon the
part of many planters TO reduce their area OF

of the remainder.
