THE GAME IN wAsniN0roN.


The National and Rochester clubs reached
here last night about 1890 O'clock and will
play this afterooon at i:15 o'clock on the
National grounds. The playing between these
two mines is very even, aud few errors on
either side always throw the game in that
direction Tho closcness ofthe contests makes
them attractive and should bo the means of
drawing large attendance of spectators to
the grounds.
Yesterday the ougiassesan Kcystoucs met
on the National grounds aud played another
OF their series Of matches in the coored league
championship. Tue game should have been
won by the Kcystoues, but errors by one of
their players gave thcIr opponents six out
of scvcn of the runs they obtained.
The Douglass club was entirely outbattci,
but completely outplayed the o;ucr side.
They ought 10 have been victorious, aud
game should have been called long before 1t
was, but while the Douglasses were ahcad
the umpire kept The men playing and did not
allow them to depart from the 4 Id until the
Keystoncs tied the score. 1t was both wrong
aud dangerous to the players to keep them in
the field when the bail could not be seen
within the diamond. II the Keystones were
losing by their had playing nobody was to
blame but thcmselyes, aud the game should
have been called at the proper time, no mat.

Lady readers who have not tested
the magic properties of borax, have
been losing great help and comfort.
If once used, you will never be with
out Il bottle on your toilet table. 1t re-
moves stains and dirt from tho hands
better than soap, and at the same
time softens and smoothcs the skin.
1t is splendid for washing the hair, and
will, without injury, cleanse brushes
and combs in a few moments. For
purposes it saves both soap
and labor. 1t will extract the dirt
from articles of delicate texture with
out rubbing, it being necessary to put
the articles to soak in solution of
boraN, over night, and need only to be
rfnsed in the morning. Two table
spoonfuls of pulvcrized boraX dissolved
in quart of water, to which water
enough is added to cover a pair of
blankets, will cleanse them beautifully.
1t also saves great labor in washing
paint. 1t is said to drive away ants
and reaches, ifsprinllcd on the shelves
Oh safes and pontrics.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF CLERKS.

| Nov Hayen Register.l
How difficult it is to distinguish then
from proprietors until you are used Il
it. Then it is easy. Proprietors veal
| clothes that clerks wouldn't be seer
wearing to slit ashes in. sa.. s..t
AT the start, however, clerks always
speak of themselves rs sssalcsmen.'
| They have q faint idea that the latter
is q dictionary word and means some
thing.
The king clerk is the "floorwalker.'
He is a dum-majOr without bear-skir
| cap or baton, and fills an important
position in an important manner
Poor humanity always feels its knees
quake when before his awful presence
until he says 'sshow these ladies them
hose" and it is proved that he is but
mortal.
The active clerk shows all the goods
in his department., talks a steady
stream and wears n customer out. He
makes a few sales, and does not stay
long in place.
The listless clerk, with dropping
eyes and pale nccktie, drops his goods
on the counter in don't-care-a-tive
sort of way, wearied by the exertion,
and the customer trades with him be-
cause he is so refreshingly lazy.
The average clerk comes up town in
the morning the very ideal of spick-
span newness. He is fresh every day,
his collar and shirt front are just from
the smoothing-iron, his clothes are
nodded to his form, and his hair looks
as if his good, kind grandmother had
slicked 1t down with bears grease.
He is a daisy.
The poorly dressed clerk. There are
no facts in regard to this nonenity.
The "masher" as a clerk. He is en-
gagged because of his superlative attrac-
ton to silly women, who call in every
day and buy some little knick-knack,
in order to bask In the sunshine of his
radiant and charming smile.
The genial clerk, a man who is al
ways too good for his position, and a
positive addition to well-regulated
establishment. One clerk of this sort
is worth whole store full of average
clerks. He sells goods before you know
you have bought them.
The genuine business man some
times begins life as a clerk, but he
pushes out of the position in an amaz-
ing hurry.
The lady clerk. Who would be so
ungallant as to say that she is not in
teresting? Gentlemen always like to
trade at the counter where she presides,
and she is usually assigned to depart
ment where they are sure to come on
little errands. Ladies, on the contrary,
do not like to purchase of her, and it
is noticeable that she is seldom in the
dry goods department..
There arc great many varieties of
clerks, grocery clerks,
and ten thousand others. They are the
and somewhat useful mile
posts ON tho highway of business.
They seem to be Il necessity, but why
they should carry the world in its en-
tircty on their shoulders and supcrin-
tend the progress of the planets in
their orbits, is II mystery. But they
all Ito it, or Mt least they think they do.
