EOR IAH FUTURE
The dates aud arrangements for the coming
visit OF Western League clubs to the East are
not US yet finally fixed, though it is quite prob
able that short-timc schedule will be adopted,
in order to make sure Of getting off the full
series. It is elsewhere noted that the present
week will be taken up By games between the
Western clubs and semi-profc5sional teams, the
League members working East all the while,
The schedule likely to be adopted is as follows:

their way home, at Biughamton and Elmira,
Some St. Louis paper, in laying out its clubs

hibition game with the Chicagos in Rochester,

rumor.
The White Stockings will leave Chicago to-
morrow morning at the rather premature
hour Of S o'clock, and will play in jackson,
Mich, the same afternoon. Thence they will
make progress through to Philadelphia, play

this honor? BY this town contributing of
her wealth what each citizen can spare for
so grand an object, and at the same time
inducing their friends to do as much as lies
in their power. All amounts will be re-
ceived and a certificate for the donation
given and duly acknowledged by publication
in the leading papers in Delaware and the
city of Philadelphia. All can contribute
something in cash, and if not convenient to
remit tonight will furnish them with sub
scription cards on which they can state the
amount they are willing to contribute;
also when to be paid. Before the close OF
the evening we would much prefer your
asking for the cards, as it would avoid us
annoying you by presenting them, as we
would feel it our duty to do so, and yours
to respond. $4,000 is all that is needed for
this grand monument, and the contract, as
you will see by this letter, is closed, and
the monument to be finished and erected
by April 4th, 1876. The $500 mentioned
in the letter was advanced as you have
heard by the members of the Association,
who believed that Delaware would willingly
respond and sanction the action, as all
other States are doing, but not so promptly
as we hope our Diamond State will do,
that is in two weeks at most. Having raised
the whole amount, it can be done and it
is for you to say, shall it? I say yes, for
when your building shall have passed and
become post of honor, this will remain
while time shall last an honor to your peo-
pie. Smyrna has the starting, let her work
high and show the State what she can do,
paying tonight or in the morning what
can be spared, and subscribe on these cards
what you will pay at some other date,
named by yourselves. Anything, no matter
how small will not be refused. 81 and as much
more as you can spare makesyou member,
for which you get certificate, properly
sealed and stamped. All get a receipt
from one cent up.

Can We Speak English.

One of the best articles, though some
what brief, in a recent number of Harper's
Magazine, is that from which we take the
following:
ain our daily conversation we disfgure
it with all varieties of slang, masculine or
feminine, as the case may be-one as bad
as the other. We disregard its delicate
shades of meaning, we do all we can to
deprive it of all force by our careless use of
its terms, we load it with provincialisms
and foreign phrases, and then we scornfully
turn our backs upon it as if it wePe an old
worn-out servant who may have been of
use to scrub our floors or sweep our barn
yards. We hire foreign nurses for our
children, so that the first words they utter
shall be either French or German dialect,
and we boast of the fact that these children
talk only French or German, and do not
understand one word of English. < = Is
there no school, of all the hundreds adver-
tising in all our city papers, which has the
courage to state as a recommendation,
English the language of this schoolY Is
there no one school which will make it its
aim, first and last, as far as the form of
language goes, to see that the English
spoken in play hours and recitations shall
be pure and correct; that only those text
books which can bear this test shall be
used; that the reading recommended shall
be selected with this view; that the poetry
committed to memory shall always be the
best? Is there no school whose pupils shall
be recognized by their clear and distinct
articulation, their accurate and easy pro
nounciation, their exact accent, and their
skillful and beautiful use of English Ian
guage? How many of our girls and boys
can be said even to know and understand
that language as used by Racine, by Cor
nellie, by Pascal, or Moliere? and far more
serious than this, how many of them know
German; that is, the language of the
Herder and Lessing, of Goethe and Schilleri
Most serious of all, and most concerning us
; how many of us know English? that is how
many of us understand or can speak it even
fiuently and correctly, not to say elegantly
How many of us know our own most noble
language, to which so many languages have
contributed-the language of Chaucer and

law OF the Umbrella.

THE San Francisco Alta has the follow
ing reference TO a case in which damages
were claimed for injury done by care
ssly-handled umbrella: " 1t was not
supposed that the umbrella was taken
notice of by the law, except to make the
possession of one evidence of larceny,
as decided some years ago by a Massachu-
setts Justice, 1t is reserved for a CalifOr-
mia Justice to advance the umbrella to a
high notch in that sonOrous title known
as the measure of damages, This was a
Santa Clara County Justice, recently.
The facts were, that two pedestrians, one
carrying an expanded umbrella, collided
on IA sidewalk, and the ferrule of the UNI
brella punched the others eye so severely
that he nearly lost the sight of it. The
man with the umbrella was moving to the
left when the collision occurred. The
injured party brought suit to recover
$20999 damages The defense was a
demurrer, that there was no cause Of ac-
ton; that it was too remote; that it was,
in fact, merely mote in the plaintiffs
eye. The demurrer was overruled. The
defense then set up accident; but the Jus.
tice laid down the law to be that the
rule of keeping to the right was applica-
ble to pede0trianism as well as driving,
and lthatia person carrying an umbrella
bears to another person not carrying one
the same relation that steamer does to a
sailing vessel--the man with the umbrella
must keep out of the others way. Judg-
ment for plaintiff as prayed in the com.
plant The case is to be appealed to the

GOw Barney Williams Won His Wife.

In August, 1S45, Barney Williams be-
came manager of VauXhall Garden in
this city, and while he was manager there
Dan Bryant made his debut as boy ne
gro dancer. Not finding ultimate success
in Vauxhall Garden, Barney drifted back
to the Chatham Theater, where Miss Ma
ria Kathleen Pray was in the ballet, She
was soon married to Charles MSstayer,
and after his death returned TO the Chat
ham, and became popular as a fancy
dancer and second soubrette. In 1850,
Barney was still in the company, and Joe
Jefferson was the low comedian. His
first wife, Maggie Lockyer whom he drst
knew ms a young ballet girl Of the Bow

admire the pretty Mrs. Mestayer, Barney
was also impressed by her, but both were
too shy to offer themselves and neither
knew the others feelings. One evening
Joe asked Barney, rs they were dressing
for the stage, TO make Mrs. Mestayer an
offer on his behalf, Barney was stag
gered, but he heroically resolved TO abide
by the lady's. decision, He fulfilled his

John Forster.

THE GentlemdH'S Magazine gives some
interesting anecdotes of John Forster.
One day, as he sat guest at Dickens ta-
BILE, some one asked the host how many
children he had.
"Four," said Dickens.
Whereupon Forster interrupted, with an
air of great authority.
"Dickens, you have five children"
Upon my word, Forster" Dickens ex-
poslulated, "allow me to know the num-
Der of my own family"
"Five, my dear Dickens" was the firm
rejoinder.
When it was proved that four was the
correct number, Forster gave in with
laugh.
Mr.. Forster, although sometimes appar-
emily harsh toward his servants, was great
ly beloved by them. The zeal and ven
Grafton with which his servant Henry
waited on him during many years were
noticed by all his friends. Henrys blinds
devotion was illustrated on one occasion,
when his master had a dinner party.
During the dinner Henry was nervous,
and made two or three blunders HIS
master chafed and fumed, and cast angry
glances at his servant, but the poor man
could not settle quietly to his duty. At
last, when the dessert and wine had been
placed upon the table, he stole timidly'
behind Mr.. Forster's chair and said:
Please. sir, can You spare me now.
my house has been on fire the last hour
and half" ''
Dickens loved the high character, and
thoroughly respected and trusted the
opinion, of his friend and biographer.
He also delighted to contemplate his
gorgeous manner when dealing with the
smallest things-the imperial air with
which he asked Henry for his coat, the
mighty look of command with which he
hailed a cab.

1t is high time there was indignation.
This Infamous outrage which Gen. Grant
and John Davenport have inflicted on the
Democratic party of New York City
ought lobe resented by. every high
minded soul in this and contiguous
planets. 1t was bad enough that the
honorable constituents of Mr.. Tweed, who
merely cast few thousand superfluous
votes every election day, should be
tracked and persecuted by the minions of
despotism; bad enough that that spotless
statesman should be incarcerated and
driven from his home because he sur
passed his oppressOrs in courage and
thrift; but now the President Of the United
States is exposed in the damning crime
it is no time for mealy-mouthed express
sions-the damning crime of spending no
less than $4,000 to hunt TO their holes

merely because their patriotism inclined
them to cast more votes on election day
than the law compelled them to deposit,

POLITICAL ITEMS.

rY- Mr. Bristow and Mr.. Blaine have
both acted wisely in promptly meeting
and refuting the preliminary ISLANDERS
aimed at them. Should either of them
receive the Cincinnati nomination, the
failure of these early calumnies will dis
credit all which would be produced dur
ing the campaign -Harper'S Weekly.
ET The Confederates at Washington
have at last got kernel of wheat out of
an immense pile of investigating chaff. 1t
is no less game than the President that
they have bagged. A witness testified
before the committee that President Grant
came to his house two years ago and or.
dered him to leave the country, because
he was about to expose the corrupions of
his Administration. He refused, when an
officer was sent, who seized him and took
him to Liverpool Upon being further
questioned, however, the witness testified
that the President did not come TO him in
person, but only sin spirit'' And it is
upon such witnesses that the Confederates
are expending the public money and max
ing themselves the laughing stock of the
country.-ChicdgO Journal
CT;@ AT the conclusion of Mr.. Blaine's
asseYeration of innocence, one of group
of prominent Democrats seated near the

incident illustrates the effect of Mr..
Blaine's personal explanation in the
House OF Representatives yesterday. His
statement was brief and to the point
There vas no beating around the bush,
q no attempt at evasion OF concealment,
nothing that could be tortured into an
equivocation. He met each charge with
positive denial, and supported the de-
nial with positive proof. Those who heard
him could not fail to be convinced of his
Innocence, and of the culpability of those
who have circulated the ISLANDERS.
