THE ESCAPE FROM JAIL.

REPEATING TIE DOSE.
The Nationals Administer . Second white.
washing to the Manchesters.


A prcttier day for the playing Of game Of
base ball than that Of yesterday could not have
been wished for by any advocate Of the sport,
and q prettier exhibition Of the beauties Of
this pastime has never been seen on the Ma.
tiOnnl grounds, in this city, than was witnessed
there yesterday.
1t would seem as II the advent Of Gerhardt
into the nine had infused new strength into
the members and brought out that ability to
hcld and bat that IL was believed thCy pos.
sessei, but which 1t seemed impossible to bring
into service. Since their reorganization marked
Improvement Is noticeable, aud they now play
not only decent but sstonishingly strong
game.
Since the arrival Of the Manchesters large
crowds have attended the grounds, and their
comments are very hattcring to the home nine,
and gives them encouragement to continue
their skillful playing.
II Is safe TO say that no ninc has covered
themselves with more glory than did the Ma.
tiOnal yesterday, and that, too, In game Of
faultless fielding. In the entire eight innings
not an error was cnargeable on their side, and
| the honors for 1t must be equally divided
among the players. The principal work was
| performed In the In.ncld, but Baker sustained
| his reputation rs an out-iellcr by making n
| brilliant long running catch. At the bat he
was a power aud every time he stepped to the
home plate another base.hit was predicted and
| the prcdictiIn confirmed, until Lcary became
disgustcd and permitted him to go to his base
on called balls evidently prcfcrring to give
one rather than take the chances of losing two.
Houck kept close on him with basc.hits, but in
fielding had but one chance, which was ac-
ccptcd. The plaudits from the audience at the
fine exhibition the National continued to make
throughout the game ought to have convinced
them that their friends appreciated the bGauti.
ful display aud were wi ling to give positive
proof of II.
The Mauchesters came forth In strength aud
determination to win sphere. They worked
hard and presistently, but while they kept
their opponents score down they met worse
treatment from their adversarics, who only
permitted one poor Manchester boy 10 reach
his second base, and no further did one ever
get lie must have felt sOrely, for he only
tarried few minutes on the spot aud then
withdrew, the side being out.
Lynch pitched with uncommon speed and
stcadincss aud proved too much for the New
EuglanGcrs, who admitted that he bothered
them more than any pitcher they have met
with this season. Appended is the score;

The EurydIce Catastrophe.

Within gunshot of a pretty English winter resort for invalids and opposite one of the bold headlands of the Isle of Wight, an island famous on account of its being favorite place of royal resi- dence, fine ship of war, with all her canvas set and manned by full and skillful crew of officers and men, disap- pears in snow squall-that is to say, she capsizes, fills and sinks to the bot tom of the English Channel in a few minutes. The gallant crew, full of hope that their long and prosperous voyage from the West Indies will terminate in 6 few hours, and that "leave," with it's usual accompaniment months pay-wiIl fill the hours with joy and festivity at home, are assembled on the maindeck for prayers. The ship is in her best trim, with every sail filled by a favoring breeze; the sun shines bril- hantly on her, and the pier at ventnor is crowded with admiring gazers at her fair proportions and snowy canvas. No one seems to be looking toward the darken- ing north where the storm IS gathering its awful forces for rush over this scene of peace and beauty. Suddenly a cold, strong wind, that momentarily grows fiercer, blows snowflakes over the land and sea. The gazers on the pier run for shelter. The squall strikes and snow envelopes the beautiful ship; wild furry, lasting but little while, ensues the sunlight again bursts from the pass ing clouds in flood of brilliancy, but the Eurydice, alas she has disappeared like figure in a mirage, and some float, ing wreck marks where she has sunk with all her crew beneath the waters. Such is, in brief, the story of terrible catastrophe which has scarcely parallel in the tragedies of the sea.

To be Identified.

Christian K Ross, father of the late Charlie, says that Mosher certainly knew all about the abduction, if he was not himself the thief. MT. Ross believes that the boy was still alive when Mosher was killed, and that the payment of the ransom previously demanded would have secured his return but whether Charlie is still living, or where secreted if living, he declares that he has no information.
 AS to the difficulty of Identification after the lapse of years, he says "It is not my habit to trust to my own recollection. l always permit the child to look atten- lively at me for several minutes before I speak word, because in my experience have met with cases where children had been stolen by beggars and disfgured for the purpose of deceiving their par ents. This object has been, in many in stances, accomplished, but the children themselves have recognized their par ents. So say when I go to look at a child (and have looked at great many since my boy disappeared), always re. main perfectly quiet for few minutes. '

Cora on the Cob.

A letter writer says : I asked the miller, "How is it that you grind corn on the ear? Do the the farmers really think the cob is worth anything as feed ?" Mo-" he said, "they know it is not. I grind thousands of bushels because they bring it here, but they never bug any, if there is any other feed they can buy" 7" What is their notion?" "They know that there is not as much good in hun dred bushels of cobs as in pint of meal, and they have the cobs ground from sheer laziness." That reason never oc- cured to me before. We use no power shelters in this part of the country and it is no small job to shell by hand: The fact that cattle and horses eat the cob meal is patent that it does them no good Is not so clear. Indolence catches at the idea that they would not eat it were there not some good in it, and so, as it is much easier, and as it has been customary to grind corn and cob together the mills are made to do it, and the mil lers really forced, against their own good sense, and against their will, to grind them. have no doubt it is true that corn and cob meal fed pure-thst is, simply "wet up,"-is less likely to harm than pure Indian meal but fed as il ought to be, it is certainly less likely to do good-which is more important. ] think Indian meal never ought to be fed to COWS, or any ruminants unless in the form of thin gruel, which farmers call ''slops, or upon cut hay, straw or chaff. Now rye. straw is somewhat nutritious, and really of some benefit to the beasts whereas the digestion of corn cobs, which the animals are forced to go through with, is a tax upon their systems that results only in harm, except in so fal as the mechanical distension of the stomach offers a similar advantage tc that secured by feeding meal on straw o1 l hav

Made a Friend.

When Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia was boy, starting to Athens, Ga., to be examined for the freshmen class, he was too poor to ride in the stage and walked the fifty-odd miles, car rying his change of clothing on his back, swung to stick. A family then owned fine plantation and country house in Greene ooup ty, and he stepped at the gate, hot and dusty with his walk, to ask for drink of water. The kind lady gave him glass to drink from, and instead of treating him as tramp, asked him to stay all night, thus making him her guest.
 A little girl-baby that he took up in his arms became very fond of hin. The next day farm wagon helped him some distance on his way, and luncheon of cold chicken and bread and butter was his only repast until he arrived at the college. Many years after the poor boy had won the first honors of his university, had been in the Legislature, had been the means of building the greatest rail IOdo III GuO 5Ou6Al, thuu Adu U0COm0 dI last the leader of the Whig party in Con- gress and owner of thousand acres of land. It was then that a poor widow, Mrs. Parkes, came into his library at Liberty Hall, leading pretty little girl by the hand, and told him that by reason of the lax habit of her husband in never taking receipts, her whole estate worth nearly quarter of million dollars, had been seized by pretended claimants. She had no money but offered him one half the property to save it for her. He took the case and by great labor and research won it for her. She came to thank and pay him, and he said : "Do you remem. Der poor lad whom you kept all night, when on his way to school ?" She did not at first, but soon said, ooh, yes do, for he was so fond of the baby. This is her with me. Do you know him ? "Yes," he said, "I am the poor boy, ,an6 now pay my bill. You do not owe me anything, for still owe you my love-"
