NOW THE QUIcKsTEP AMATEURS yANou1su.
ED THE CHAMPION CHICAGO cIuB

nv" THE EouIcKsTEP AMATEURS vANQU1sH-
ED THE cHtMrioN CHICAGO CLUB.
When the champion Chicago club came
down to play our Wilmington amateurs
yesterday afternoon, few ardent lovers
OF the game predicted a victory for the
home club, but the remainder Of the 800
people present sim ply expected the anna
teurs TO play creditable game with the
famous champions.
The game opened at 3 o'clock, with the
Quicksteps at the bat, and to the sur
prise Of their friends tLey batted hard
f0r three earned runs. and retired the
Chicagos with two runs.
-, Inc next inning was an astonisher, as
the Quicksteps by heavy batting, aided
by little bad fielding, scored SIX runs.
four of which were fairly earned. The
Chlcagos were then retired in one, two,
three order. and the applause Of the
audience was tremendous.
The third innings yielded blank for
the Quicksteps, but the Chicagos by
means of several good hits, and the
miserably indifferent fielding of the
Quicksteps, scored six runs, only two
OF which were earned. In the fourth in
ming the home club was again blanked,
When the rain commenced to fall, and
the game was suspended, the score stand
ing 0 to 8 in favor of the Quicksteps at
the end of the third inning.
The audience was keenly disappointed,
but was much plalscd at the general
play ing Of the home club.
The Chicago played their regular nine,
exceptinglWhite, catcher, whose place
was filled by McVey, the other players
being as follows; Spalding, pitcher Pc
tiers, short stop; Glenn, Barnes and An
son on the bases and Andrews, Hines
and Addy in the field. The Quicksteps
played their usual nine, with Splaine at
left field.
M. Clinch, OF Wilmington, umpired
the game, but the visitors, scared at the
prospect OF defeat, objected to his de-
cisions, and he was succeeded by Abe
Geary.
This is the fourth defeat for the Chi
cago this year, and the first time any
club got more than seven runs off them.
The amateurs made IL base hits, with a
total of 13 bases, while the Chicagos
made but 6 base hits.
On account of their Eastern and West
ern engagements the Chicagos will not
be able to to play again with the Quick
steps until August.
NOTES OF THE GAME.
AT iaeetlng OF the Qulckstep Ptofes-
sional Association Inst night, it was de-
cided to disband the organization, the
season not being profitable enough to
justify the maintenances Of the club.
The grounds viii be given up, and the
fencing. seats and other property sold.
On Friday the Amateurs play the Gin.
cinnati League club, and on Thursday

A Visit 10 Mnrnd V.

On Friday, says correspondent writ
ing from Turkey, disguised myself as
Turk. A fez, my spectaclea, fatness
beginning to develop itself, black top
coat and white waistcoat made me
sufficiently like an officer of the Sublime
Porte. l repaired to the mosque of
Bochihtach, where his majesty the sui
tan was to go to say his prayers. 1 was
able to examine his countenance. Never
did sovereign Of twenty-eight years of
age appear 80 worn out He is of o
somewhat green complexion, with q
leaden oye and white beard, and already
his limbs are paralyzel with rheuma-
tism. He appeared to me to be too ill to
leave his chamber. "Murad V. has not
long to live," remarked one of nv
friends; we shall soon see new gov
ernment." While suffering from the
melancholy reflections which the sight
of tho sultan inflicted upon us. we en-
tered tho garden of the Concordia. one
OF the resorts the elegant world of
Pera. My. companion introduced me to
native OF the young Turkey school,
dressed in tho latest Paris style, with an
eyoglass and al easy bearing. This fine
young man assured us that the sultan
was really at the last pass. "His
majesty" ho said, lacks initiative
power and vigor, but his brother Ahmed

&Ored to Death by a Mad Cow,

The st. Louis Repu6Hcan says: It
does not often devolve upon us to
chronicle an occurrence so horrible as
that which took place in the yard in the
rear OF Adam Bauer's residence. A few
days ago Mr.. Bauer purchased a COW.
Which he kept confined to his premises
until she became very vicious. She was
standing in the yard, when a little dog
that belonged on the premises begun to
torment her, and soon had her in a rage.
She finally started after the dog, but
had run only short distance, when she
caught sight of Mrs. Elizabeth Hirscb.
a married daughter of Mr.. Bauer, who
had just emerged from the house. ami
who was totally unsuspicious of danger.
The animal lowered her head and made
a tremendous charge upon the lady,
striking her i'll the abdomen with its
horns and fairly disemboweling her.
She fell to the ground with scream
thai brought out the inmates of the
house, who attacked the COW with
sticks, but to no purpose. The animal
was crazed, and it kept striking at the
prostrate women with ita horns until it
secured fresh, strong hold, when by
great effort it lifted her up and threw
her over the fence into an adjoining
yard. She was instantly picked up and
carried into the house. A physician was
called, who did much to alleviate her
but declared that there was
no possibility of her recovery, as she
had received several injuries, any one of
which might prove fatal. Mrs. Hirsch
IS only twenty-eight years old, and has
'wo little children. Some time ago she
eft her husband and returned to her
ather's house.

An Insurgent Colonel,

The insurgent chief, Reeves, alias Ell
!nglesito, who was killed by the Span
lards In Cuba, was an American by birth,
about twenty-six years OF age, and well
known III Brooklyn, whore he lived, a
man of great GOODNESS and valor, and
highly esteemed by his followers and
respected by his enemies. Reeves came
TO cuba IN 1869 with Jordan, to whom
ne acted as orderly. Gen. Ryan made
HIM lieutenant of cavalry, and Gen.
Agramonte, who was killed in May,
1873, made him major, lieutenant col
onel, and subsequently, colonel. He
was afterward promoted to be brigadier.
de was nine times wounded in actions
with the Spaniards, once by ball in
his hip, which was never extracted. His
death as related by witnesses oc-
CURED as follows:
Reoves, commanding forty mounted
men, fell into ambush, but managed to
retire after fow volleys had been mu-
tually exchanged, but being pursued
and seeing the enemy stronger in force
than they, he ordered his men to sep
arate. Then he altered his course, and
fell into another ambush, and was badly
wounded in the neck and arm. He,
however, kept on, but was closely fol
lowed by mulatto who was his servant
at the beginning Of the war, but who had
lately passed over to the eremy. The
mulatto gave him some slashes with u
machete, and Reeves fell from his horse.
The account of his death given by the
Spanish newspapers is quite different
from the above, and is incorrect.

Cultivate Early the Habit TO Work.

There is scarcely anything of greater
Importance to young man than that he
should require early the habit of regu-
lar application to some pursuit. Many
persons who are not of an indolent na-
ture live on from day to day, from
month to month, from year TO year,
without accomplishing worth while.
They wonder that others are successful.
and they are not that other progress
and they remain stationary. The diff
Guilty with them is that although they
are not particularly averse to labor, they
have never learned how to work TO ad-
vantage. They have never formed the
habit of regular, systematic application
Dcsultory and merely impulsive efforts
are attended by very insufficient and
unsatisfactory results. The first requi-
site is to know what you want to accom-
piish Have some purpose--some plan.
Then see to it that the sun does not set
on day in which something has not
been done to carry forward that plan
to promote that purpose. Have, so far
rs possible, regular hours of work, and
let no light interruption interfere with
them. If you take n days recreation,
be sure that on the morrow you prompt
ly resume your work, and give to it the
benefit of refreshed strength and re-
ncwed vigor.
at the end of every week, regularly
review your work. Consider lust how
much you have accomplished. If you
are satisfied with what you have done it
will bring to you feeling of repose aud
content. If You find you should have
done moro, then make sure that the
coming week shall show an improve
ment on the past.
Finally, let nothing--no matter what
-daunt or discourage you. Glory in n
resOlute and invincible will
If ali tho young men now coming on
the stage would scrupulously observe

Breaking the Child's Will.

No art is SO useful in the management
Of young children (nor is any art so neg
lected) as that of avoiding direct col
lision. The great blunder which almost
all parents and nursemaids commit is,
that when the child takes awhim against
doing what he is wanted to do-will not
eat his bread and butter, will not go
out, will not come to his lessons, etc.
they, so to speak, lay hold of his hind
leg, and drag him to his duties; whereas
person of tact will almost always dis
tract the child's attention from it's own
obstinacy, and in few moments lead it
gently round to submission. | know
that many persons would think it wrong
not to break down the child's self-wiii
by main force, to come to battle with
him and show him that he is the weaker
vessel; but my conviction is that such
struggles only tend to mako his self
will more robust. If you can skillfully
contrive to delay the dispute for few
minutes, and hitch his thoughts on the
excitement of the contest, ten to one he
will then give in quite cheerfully; and
this is far better for him than tears and
punishment.

Sheridan TO Have Regulars.

The adjournment of Congress was de-
layed in order to give time to reconcile
the differences between the House and
Senate on the bill to increase the cavalry
force of the United States army now
operating against the hostile Sioux In
dams and on the Texas frontier. 1t will
be remembered that the House granted
authority to the President to call out
volunteers not to exceed 5000 men.
This was changed by the Senate so as to
admit OF an increase of $500 men in
the regular cavalry force OF the United
States. The House disagreed on this,
and committees of conference were ap-
pointed. After long deliberation they
agreed upon substitute for both propo-
sitions, to wit the bill originally re-
ported by the military committee OF the
House, which allows the President to
make an addition of $500 men to the
cavalry forces in the field for period
of six months OF during the war.
Finally the report was adopted by both
bodies, the bill enrolled and signed
