In London, Canada, last week, they
had u circus and hurricane at the same
time. The two did not harmonize well.
Very suddenly, as the performance was
at its height, the air darkened, the light
ming flashed, the wind rose, and rain fell
in sneets. The canvas fell down with a
crash upon the menagerie, and the ami
mails and spectators alike were overcome
by terror and wild confusion. The ex-
citement resulted in The death OF one of
the ladies present.

The VtoterSosss LtsdIoscs and the Defeated
Red Stockings.
Another interesting game of baseball
was played yesterday afternoon on the
Ludlow grounds between the Ludlows
and the st. Louis Red Stockings. The
general opinion of those attending was
that the Ludlows would share the same
fate as the Stars on the previous day.
Mr.. Jos. Blong, pitcher Of the Stars, was
the umpire OF the game, and gave univer-
sal satisfaction.
The Red Stockings were sent to the bat
first without making tally. The Lud-
lows followed, scoring one.
The Reds scored one in the second in
ming, the Ludlows retiring without max
Ing run. The third and fourth innings
resulted In zero for both clubs, but in
the fifth the Ludlows gained two scores,
and in the sixth one more, the tally
standing four runs. to ono. In the sew
enth inning the Ludlows were sent to
the field without scoring tally, and the
Reds took the bat, scoring one in the
seventh and three in the eighth inning.
The game ut this point was productive
Of the greatest interest, and anxiety on
the part Of the patrons OF the Ludlows,
as they were sent to the bat, for the last
inning, being one run behind the Reds.
Abadie and Stiles, who were on their
bases, were let home by Mason, who
sent a tremendous ball to the right field,
This secured the victory for the Lud-
lows. Mason subsequently succeeded
in reaching his home base, and closed
the game.
The following is the score OF the runs
made in each separate inning.
Innings. 2. ga. 8. 6. L8.9
LudloYs. Ys.............1 o . o al 90 80
Red Stockings ......O l o. o s 0-5
The best batting among the Ludlows
was done by Jones, who sent repeated
flies into the left field, and one even
clean over the fence, allowing him the
only home run made.
The Red Stockings play the Stars to-
day and The Ludlows on Saturday.
The Blue Stockings, of Cummins Vile,
on LUDLOW avenue, were defeated yes
terday afternoon by the Milfords. Only
five innings were played, as the rain
them to discontinue the game.
The score stood six to five. The Blue
Stockings are well satisfied with the
record Of their 1irst game, and promise
some fine sport for the future.

man ON account of his egetism, pro-
vided he has real merit and the prudence
to avoid injustice TO others.
The criticism which Cincinnati jour-
nal INDUCES upon him and his book is
very remarkable. IL makes him blum
derer and a butcher in every one of his
military movements, as well as in move
ments which he did not make. And yet
this same journal, during the war, held
the very same view of General Grant; so
that, according to its logic, the rebellion
was put down by sheer stupidity not
only of the military but likewise Of the
civil leaders of the conflict.
No leading man is fit to write his
own memoirs when many other individ-
uals are concerned in the same transac-
tions. Autobiographies of civil or mill
tary leaders are justly regarded with
suspicion.
They are barely tolerable in those who
have achieved fame on their own private
account. No just, generous and wise
man, whose distinction has come from
The public service, would think of such
a work. He would know that only the
future historian can do justice to all
concerned. He would know that such
work published during the lifetime Of
the generation which it concerns would
encounter more curses than commenda-
tions, and nothing could more certainly
bring down his gray hairs with sorrow
10 the grave.
Sherman's book will be the means OF
bringing out many ugly facts that will
greatly diminish the estimate which the
impartial historian OF the future will
make OF his merit-facts that but for
this provocation, would have been lost
with the death OF the witnesses.
Had he kept silent he would not only
have attained the summit of civil dis
tinction but would have been ranked
equal with the highest as military
chieftain. The book is the greatest mis-
fortune that could have fallen upon his
devoted head-devoted now to the as
saults of thousand heroes.
The only apology for it is the paltry
consideration OF dollars and cents. He
will make fortune out of it unless crit
icism shall kill it. He was assured of
at least twenty-five thousand dollars be-
fore its appearance.
