The Delights OF Base Ball.

The only son of widowed mother
in the vicinity of Douglas Park is Q
member of an amateur base ball club.
On Saturday he had his hair cut and
oiled, and accoutered himself for the
fray, and his fond mother tied one of
her best lace trimmed handkerchief
round his throat, and put clean
handkerchief, with some cologne on it.
in his belt, and kissed him, and he
went. About a quarter to Z he re-
turned-that is, the most of him-and
the following conversation ensued:
'"My son, whore is the lace handker-
chief you had round your neck?"
Here, ma, tied round this finger.
I picked up daisy cutter. think
the finger is only out of joint, not
broken"
my son, why do you not speak
palmer? Surely, surely you have not
been drinking!
mo, ma, but in the latter half Of
the seventh inning our catcher's hands
gave out, and 1 went behind, and I
stopped a foul tip with my teeth, that
is all"
"My son, your nice new uniform is
all blooded in front. What ever can
you have been DOING"
Nothing ma, only was trying to
scoop in high one at third, and the
sun got in my eyes and I muAed it,
and the ball came on my nose, but !
put it to the first and got him out." "ttss
my son, your white flannel pants
are all green behind"
"That, ma, was in the third inning,
when I tried to steal to second, and
had to throw myself down and slide
in. Igot the base anyhow, and came
in on a two baser to left field"
"Alas, my son, fear that you have
had an unpleasant day. Let me send
for surgeon and dentist, and get
some arnica, ice water, lint, raw besf-
steak, splints, sticking plaster, vine
gar and brown pepper, Simmons

congresses, slings, leeches, clean
cloths, opodeldoc, horse liniment, and
in few days you will know yourself"
"Oh, ma, it was the bullisst game

score 7 to 6. If I die give my bat
to Billy Humphreys and my spiked
shoes to Charley Gross"

Mount Savage Letter.
MT. SAVAGE, June Is, 1877

MT. SAVAGE, June rs, 1877.
Mr.. Editor According to prom
ise l made in my last, these few lines
are sent. Since I wrote you the work
men have finished tearing away tn.
old mill and heating furnaces; they
are also busy doing the same with the
pudding furnaces and sending the
castings away and driving the old
lumber off the ground, to give place
for the new brick-yard.
The coal mines which started here
this month are doiug nothing hardly.
Two men only get car about every
other day, but they think to put more
force in them as soon as the track is
ready to bring hoppers to the dump.
The tracl will be commenced this
week. The mines are under the su-
perintendence of Mr.. Philip B.
Thomas, an old and reliable employee
of this company, and man that
thoroughly understands his business,
and gentleman in every sense of the
word.
There is considerable talk here
about the new way to get employ
ment around Frostburg. A miner
living in Frostburg q have been told)
went to the boss of mine not more
than three miles from town, to get
work but without success. He went
four or five times, but had to gang
ava hame with "got enough hands
now sounding in his ear every time,
until novel idea ran into his head
one day, and next morning he acted
upon it. He took half gallon of
whisky with him for the boss. Well,
sir, after the boss had drank to prove
if it was good and smacked his lips
couple of times, he said, with great
dignity.
"Sir, you can come here tomorrow
and bring your boy along with you to
get your tools"
The best thing we miners can do is
to keep the bottle in the cutting to
give the boss drink when he comes
up the room. We may all get free
turn that way, especially if he has a
share in store, and we go there to
buy it. Yours, ETC.,

it, and these laws wherever enforced,
have had the desired effect. Public
and local laws have been passed pre-
venting the sale of unwholsome meats,
fruits, or vegetables, and no objection
has been made to such laws, because.
forsooth, such things are unhealthy.
But whenever men talk of laws to
prevent the manufacture and sale of
that which annually is killing, and
danlning its thousands, somebody ap-
pears to be hurt, and a great cry is
raised about the invasion of men per-
sonal liberty Liberty to be a slave |!
Liberty to kill, to damn and to des-
troy all that is purest and best in hu-
man society!
Mr.. Rooney in his letter frequently
quotes scripture to prove that irtem-
perance is an evil, and proposes as a
remedy the converting grace of God,
forgetting, apparently, that the mil
lennial day has not yet dawned upon
earth, when all men shall be under
the influence Of this grace, and that a
large proportion of our race are yet
subject to the god of this world, ruled
in great measure by carnal appetites,
and passions. Now, if l have rightly
understood the word of God, I am Just
as guilty in allowing my brother to do
evil that l could prevent as though I
had done the evil myself. And while
to me all the grog shops and saloons
in the world offer no temptation to
drink, yet if they are stumbling
block in my brothers way, then it is
my duty as christian to endeavor re-
move them ; and as the experience of
many years has proved that moral
suasion is farce and delusion when
applied to the liquor traffic, therefore
| would say, in conclusion, to all low
ers Of humanity-let US at least try
the effects of legal enactment.

- - AsSS
MINING JoURNAL-Dcar Sir In
your issue of June 23d l noticed
Temperance Letter" signed "Thom-
as Rooney" which, while it seems to
be in sympathy with the cause of Tenn
perance as an abstract principle, yet
is so indefinite in its utterances as to
leave the question just where he took
it up. If l can learn anything at all
from the letter it is that the writer
is opposed to Local Option" as pro-
posed in the last Maryland Legisla-
ture, and still advocated by the
friends of temperance reform in this
and other States.
While l am not strenuous advo-
cate of local option law, much pre-
ferring, if it We're possible, so to edu-
cate public opinion that prohiLitory
laws should be passed that would
sweep the evil from the land as fast
and as far as legal enactment can re-
move any evil that has so entrenched
itself in mems appetites and passions
as the drinking custom has done. Yet
as public opinion has not yet reached
that point, and as some communities,
in advance of public opinion, are anx-
iously longing for enfranchisement
from the calling bondage of the liquor
traffic, it appeares to me that justice
demands that they should be allowed
to say through the ballot box whether
or not the evil shall be continued
among them. This is all the friends
of the law ask, and this they will new
er cease to ask, until this, or something
more positive and effectual, shall be
granted them.
Reforms of this kind never go back
ward they may be delayed by the
Vaccinations of enemies or the cold
heartedness Of friends. But by these
delays they often gather fresh force
for the conflict. In the great anti
slavery movement of the past, men
who advocated the abolition of fslavery,
entrenched as it was, and defended by
wealth and power, were called tools.
and anatics the way at times appear
ed dark and gloomy; civil discord,
strife and bloodshed was the result,
but God was at the helm and guided
the vessel through. So W II it be in
the temperance cause; interests as
dear and as vital to our national and
individual welfare are involved in this
as in the other, and although the
friends of the cause may at times be
respondent and sigh-Oh Lord how
long? yet they believe that the cause
is of God and will ultimately tri-
umph over all the passions and preju-
dices of men.
So far as the constitutionality and
right of such enactment is concerned, l
do not see how there can be any differ
ence of opinion. Laws have been'en-
acted to prevent public evils of inf
nitely less magnitude, and there has
been no effort to prove them an inva-
sion of individual rights. Gambling,
for instance, was found to be public
evil and laws were passed to prevent

What Everybody Says Must
be True"

The incontrovertible testimony Of
fered by those who have used DR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription induced
the doctor to sell it under a positive
guarantee. Many ladies have refrain
ed from using it on account of genor.
al feeling Of prejudice against adver-
tised medicines. Let mo ask ques-
tion. Are you prejudicel against sew
ing machines because you have seen
them advertised or can you Doubt the
ingenuity and skill required in their
invention? Again, would you refuse
to insure your house because the com.
pany advertised that it had payed
millions in losses, and yet had a capital
of several millions? Do such adver-
tisements shake your confidence. and
create prejudices? Then why refuse
to credit testimony of those who have
found the Favorite Prescription to be
all that is claimed for it in overcom.
ing those ailments peculiar to your
sex? Why submit to the use Of harsh,
and perhaps caustic treatment, thus
aggravating your malady, when re-
lief is guaranteed, and permanent cure
has been effected in thousands Of
cases?

r. V. PIERCE, M. D. Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sir Allow me to extend my
most sincere thanks to you for the
great benefit my wife has received from
the use of your Favorits prescription.
She suffered almost intolerably before
using your medicine, and 1 had tried
the skill of several physicians but to
NO purpose. Finally l thought I
would give the Favorite Prescription
trial, and she is now sound and well.
Very gratefully yours.
