GIRLS OF THE TURF.
4 Base. Exi, <ontcs Between two Female
Clubs.

sciUn tue SffiNrc!N titl) NcSlstti
The female baseball club, to which refer
cnce has been made from time to time in the
press of this city, played their initial exhlbl-
ton game on Saturday last, in the presence
of an assembly of perhaps two hundred peo-
pie The grounds were surrounded by can
vass in order to secure privacy, about three
hundred feet square being embraced in the
enclosure. At the hour for the game to COM
mcnce the girls ''came to the scratch clad
in neat and rather snowy uniform, and at
once proceeded to business. The mines are
known respectively as the ''Blondes' and
"Brunettes The uniform of the former
consists of jaunty white hat, blue pants
trimmed with white. reaching a little below
the knee, blue jackets similarly trimmed, con-
fined at the waist with black belt, and white
hose striped with blue The uniform of the
Brunettes consists of white hat, white suits
trimmed with blue, aud red and white sock
beg pardon-hose, we mean. The toss was
won by the Brunettes, and the Blondes went
to the bat. The game proceeded at once, with
varying results, and soon little nervousness,
under which it was manifest some of the girls
were laboring, wore off, and they entered in
to the spirit of the OccasionWil considerable
VIM The batting was not characterized by
any degree Of vigor, nor was the pitching
and catching hardly up to the standard of
some of the crack male clubs, yet the contest
seemed to be greatly enjoyed by the specta-
tors, and an unusual ''pose," a home run, or
fly catch, was certain to provoke a burst OF
applause. Everything. however, was done
decently and in order, ard there was nothing,
save, perhaps, the exhibition of female anat-
omy, to which exception could be taken, and
even that is frequently discounted in tirst-class
theaters. For about two hours the game went
On, and finally victory perched on the ban
ners of the Blondes, by a score of forty-two
to thirty-eight.

A Persistent Se,laSher,

The New York Herald relates some of the
capers of most pers stent English criminal:
''In 1866 man named Richard Hampton
broke the shop window of harmless watch
maker IN Woolwicl, England. He was sent
to prison for nine months, On the very day of
his discharge returned to Woowich and
smashed the same window. This time the
Court gave him eighteen months; and once
more, on the day his sentence expired, he re-
turned and again broke in the same window.
His third sentence was for ten years; but the
other day he was, for good conduct, dis
charged on a ticket of leave, having served
nearly eight years. Promptly, for the fourth
time, he went straight to Woolwich, and
once more smashed the same window, and
being thereupon brought into court for
fourth sentence, he remarked that he would
break that window as often as he got the
chance, for the rest of his life He is in for
another ten years."

CONGRESS has had no more important
matter to the people Of Virginia before it
than the admission of John Goode, Jr., as
Representative from the Second District
Of Virginia, Or what is generally known
as the Norfolk District Tie two strongest
candidates in the election were James H.
Plat, Jr., and John Goode, Jr. Mr..
Goode is from an old representative family
Of Virginia, while Plat is Vermont
yankee that came to Petersburg as Chap
Jain in Vermont Regiment, and was sent
to Congress upon negro vote, He repre-
sented Virginia in Congress and had his
residence in Brooklyn, New York. He
received the majority Of votes by fraud
and Mr.. Goode obtained the certificate Of
election and has been qualified as the Re-
preventative in Congress from the Second
District Of Virginia. This wipes out car
pet-bag rascality in Virginia which has
we'll nigh been the means Of bankrupting
that State.

Extraordinary Tragedy.

The following strange account of traei-
cal occurrence at Toulouse is published by
the Paris Steele of December l.: "Two men,
strangers to the place, applied three days
oack for permission to ascend to the TOP of
the tower of the old Cordeliers Church,
formerly used as storehouse for fodder,
and which was partly burned in 1871. Leave
was granted; but shortly afterward the two
men were seen to lean over the parapet.
locked in each others arms, and then to fall
to the ground One, who appeared to be
the principal, and wore decoration in his
button-hole, was taken up dead; the other
was only stunned, and on being carried to
the hospital made this extraordinary state.
ment: The deceased, he said, was an enri.
neer, and had formed with him a plan To
rob the Bank of Toulouse by means of a
suDterranean passage leading to the cellars
OF that establishment, and which had been
IN course Of construction for several months
previously. The work was terminated and
the plan was to be carried out an hour later.
His accomplice then induced him to 90 to
the top Of the tower, on some pretext. and
then suddenly seized him by the waist and
endeavored to throw him from the ton. in
order, no doubt, to obtain the whole of The
booty. A struggle took place between
them, In the course of which thev both fell
over as described. The cellars Of the bank
were visited, and the passage was found
almost terminated; another hours werk
and 1t would have opened into the floor Of
the strong ROOM"

up his dirty shirt and paper collar in his
and migrate northward.
