Rules of Base Ball for 1877.

Our American game of baseball is rev.
~olutionized again, the national league
having resumed the lively for the dead
ball. This is to be made by an authorized
frm-a "soft.job" for somebody--and to
come in a sealed box, to be broken by
the umpire on the field. Other import
ant changes in the rules are: The home
club in all cases goes first TO the bat. A
PLAYER not going to the bat within a
minute after being called by the umpire
is declared out, as also when he runs TO
the first base inside the foul line. When
a inner is struck by a hit ball he is out.
The object of this last would seem to be
10 allow every advantage to the "out,'
and it is further decreed that the runne
must go round and back Of fielder who
obstructs his path to capture a ball"

a Gard to the Public.

For many years we have made tw O
medicines suited to the ailments OF
vast class of sufferers. Thousands Of
cures have been made by them, and,
in fact, the word failure could not be
coupled with them. But within the
last two years counterfeits Of our
medicines have sprung up, dangerous
in their close imitation of our Trade
Mark. To secure the people we have
placed upon each genuine box of Hol-
loway's Ointment the fac simile Of
the signature of our agent, Mr.. Jos.
Haydock. To counterfeit is felony.
We shall relentlessly pursue any one
who initiates this with the utmost
vigor Of the law. We most earnest
ly beg that the great mass of the
American people will aid us in our
efforts to protect their health. and
help us in our task of bringing these
most unprincipled men to the bar Of
Of justice. Uniformly refuse to pur-
chase Medicines purporting to be
ours unless Mr.. Jos. Haydock's sig
nature is attached to each box of
Pills or pot of Ointment, and the end
will soon be reached.

CRIME AND EDUCATION.

1t is not well to always look on the
dark side, but it is always best to look
on the right side. Figures may be so
arranged as to lead to incorrect conclu-
sions, but here are few which do not
lie in reference to the growth of crime
in the Empire State. Ovid Miner says:
Our three state prisons held, Janua-
ny, 1875, 1856 conyicts; 493 more than
the year before. One thousand five
hundred had been discharged during
the year; so that Of the criminals in the
worst state there was an ascertained
army of more than 5000 in the year
1875. "The six local penitentiaries held
at the close Of last year 5000 prisoners.
About 10000 more had been incarcera-
ted and discharged during the year.
In the sixty-six county prisons and jails
Of the State there had been 10000 con-
Yicts for crimes of lower grade, making
an aggregate of eighty-four thousand
criminal convictions in the state of
New York during 1875. 1t should be
said that probably a quarter of the pen
itentiary and county prison convictions
were second and third arrests of the
same persons. So that there may not
have been more than 10000 or 10000
different ones punished. What a pic
tUre of our moral prospect is this
But it must not be thought that seven
ty thousand recorded criminals COM
prise the whole volume Of State crime.
Eminent authorities abroad and at
home have shown that for eyerv hun-
dred crimes, but fifty-four offenders are
apprehended and only twenty-nine pun
ished If this be approximately Just as
the proportion Of discovered and m
known criminals in New York the con-
clusi0n is terrible. I set down with re-
luctance the fact which follows. at a
recent public meeting in the interests
OF Social Science held at Saratoga, it
was stated on undoubted authority,
that the city Of New York in 1870, CON
tanning scarcely a third the population
OF London, reported twice as many ca
SEES Of arson, burglary, robbery and dis
orderly conduct as that great metropo-
lis
The statements in the preceding
paragraph are startling because true.

TEACHING AS A PROFESSION.

Every man should look upon his pro-
fession with certain degree Of pride.
He should see in it grand possibilities
for the future which shall be the means
of calling forth his noblcst impulses
and best efforts. He should SO love and
delight in it that he shall be able to
took beyond it's difficulties and discour-
agements to it's charms and possibili-
ties for usefulness.
He who looks upon his business with
despair, who is ashamed Of his calling,
and holds in contempt others who are
engaged in it labors under an immense
disadvantage to himself. Every slim
illus to exertion is removed. There is
no inducement to excel. Every spark
Of enthusiasm is removed and the man
sinks to the rank of a slave.
These remarks are particularly ap-
plicable to the profession of teaching
One of the most serious drawbacks to
the success of the teachers work is its
non-professional character. He who
enters the ministry or the practice OF
medicine without any previous prepa-
ration is regarded as quack. Not sc
however with the teacher. In the pop
ular estimation it is too often the case
that any one, no matter how limited
the natural ability or educational quail
ifications, is considered competent tx
teach ar rather keep school" We be
lieYe, however, that there is a growing
sentiment in favor of teachers Of great
or intellectual and professional ability
of more maturity Of Judgment, and il
favor of greater permanence in thu
work. The relative Importance Of thG
teachers work is being appreciated
and corresponding qualification is de
manded. This is as it should be. Neve.
can our schools become what the,
should be SO long as q majority Of tn
teachers work solely for the pecuniar,
remuneration which it brings, or ar
waiting Micawber like, "for something
better to turn up" Teaching, in orde
to attain its highest degree of profc
iency must become o profession, anC
must demand of those engaged in i
broader culture and more special pre-
paration than it has in the past. Gu
Normal Schools, Teachers Institutes
and Teachers Meetings are doing al
excellent work in this particular direc
ton. But more than this is needed
The people themselves must realize th
dignity and importanceof the teacher
calling and employ those and those onl
who are qualified for the work.

The Monkey's Death.

The wonderful resemblance of some
OF the larger apes to human creatures
is especially remarkable when they are
suffering from illness, or from what, SO
great is their intelligence, we must &C
knowledge to be sorrow. An ape of
no common merit having lately died in
the Geological gardens at Dresden, an
account has been published Of it's last
moments, which gives an extraordinary
idea of the almost hnman dignity and
pathos of it's behavior on the occasion.
A few weeks Of the destroying mala-
dy, says a sorroWing friend, had been
sufficient to change this being, so full
of life, strength, courage-this magnif-
icent prototype of all quadrumana-in-
to a spectacle of misery. The most
complete apathy had taken the place of
exhuberant freshness and Yiyacity.
Mafuka, as this interesting creature
was called, appeared to suffer under
dim consciousness that she could expect
no relief, but only the alienation of her
pains, from those about her. This
state of things lasted till within few
hours of her death. Then. as Director
Schopf (the director of the gardens)
leaned over his favorite, the ape drew
him towards her, placed her arm
around the neck Of her friend, and
looked at him for some time with clear
and tranquil eyes; she then kissed him
three times, with short intervals be-
tween each salute, motioned to be laid
upon her couch, gave her hand to

The Rev. Phoebe Hanaford, pastor Of
the Church Of the Good Shepherd, in
Jersey City, has been deposed. And
what seems more understandable, the
movement that ended in her removal
was originated and carried to a conclu-
sion BY the women Of her congrega-
ton. No charges were preferred
against her, but the young ladies, and
for that matter old ladies wanted a
male pastor. The gentleman did not
desire her removal and the incident
only illustrates another phase of wo-
mans injustice to woman.

was given up by the physician as incura-
bic. One day, believing he was about
to die, he called Sister No. 2 to his
bedside, sent for a magistrate and willed
his 81 200 to her, she not having any
knowledge, previous to the making of
the will, that he had any money. He
recovered from his illness, and was able
to be about again. From some cause
unknown he left Sister No. 2, and
returned to Penn Haven, and shortly
afterward went back to New York. Sis
ter No. l was informed of his riches,
sent for him, and he called to see her.
She tried to treat him kindly, but still
her children, even having a knowledge
OF their uncle's wealth, refused to make
any freedom with him. He again became
offended at the proceedings and also
with Sister No. 2, and took up his
abode with friend who was not in any
way related to him. The friend knew
nothing about Mr.. Sheridan's money,
but was very kind to his visitor, and
told him to remain with him as long as
he pleased. He again became belfast
from illness, and when about to die
willed all his money to his friend In a
few weeks he died. The friend inher-
tied the l1,000, and the sisters are
angry thereat. If my eldest sister,"

toned and Independent, and had treated
me as sister should, my money would
have been hers. "-EdStOn Free Press.

Seyenty-One Graves i'm a Row.

Dallas Sanders, Esq, of this city, has
just returned from Kitty Hawk, where
he went in search of the body of his
brother, Paymaster G. N. Sanders, who
was lost aboard the sloop-of-war Huron.
He told reporter last evening of what
he saw on that little strip of North
Carolina coast where so many brave
men met their death. Riding along the
sandy shore behind team of oxen, he
saw graves everywhere, and only one
sailor lay with his sightless eyes staring
upward and his body uncovered, and
by noon neatly-pressed mound marked
his resting-place. When the bodies of
officers and men were washed ashore
they were taken by fishermen and
buried in the sand near the telegraph
poles that are erected along the coast,
and far enough back from the ocean
never to be reached by its waves. There
were seventy-one mounds along the
shore. A party of five sailors rescued
from the Huron visited the graves, and,
by the order of Commander Green, of
the Norfolk Navy-Ya ard, opened them
in turn. As one of the men had tat
tooed the arms of nearly all the Huron's
crew, and as all of them had been on
the sloop since she started on her
cruise, nearly eighteen months ago,
they were able to identify everybody,
with the exception of one or two. The
telegraph poles near which the graves
were made all have marked upon them
the number of miles Norfolk is away
and the number of the pole itself.
Lieut.. Clark, with these figures as locat-
ing points, made memoranda of where
the various bodies were buried, and
then the graves were again filled in and
each one neatly mounded. These
memoranda will be handed in with
Commander GREEN'S detailed report.
and can at any time be referred to, if
anyone should desire to learn where
any of the Huron's men lie buried

A Sisters $1,000 Mistake.

A short time ago a bachelor named
Sheridan, who, for upward of twenty
five years, resided at Penn Haven, died
after an illness of several months, leav-
ing behind him $1,000. When he
came to this country he located at Penn
Haven, and commenced working for
the Beaver Meadow Railroad, now a
branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
as repairman. He was very in
dustrious man, and not only did he work
every day in the week, but on Sundays
also, and frequently at night, without
rest, when an opportunity afforded. He
was of very steady habits, was econom-
zeal, and seldom partook of strong drink.
During the time he worked on the rail
road he managed to save the amount
above stated, which he deposited in one
of the Mauch Chunk banks. His health
was always good, and he never knew
what the taste of medicine was until
about a year ago, when he commenced
to complain of being ill. He quit work
and went to New York to see one of his
sisters, who had all she needed for the
comforts of life. Upon his appearance
at her residence he received lukewarm
reception, and his sisters children paid
very little attention to HMM fact,
cared nothing about associating with
him, even for momentary CONVERSE
ton. At this proceeding Mr.. Sheridan
became offended and went to the resi-
dence of another sister, who, though
not so well off, received him kindly.
With Sister No. 2 he remained for
some time. While here he was obliged to
take to his bed, under the care of ply
stefan, and his illness became serious.
He grew weaker and weaker, and he

Another very pleasant idea will suggest
itself to the most casual observer who

kindly, careful interest taken by the
ships officers in the welfare of the boys.
