BASEBALL.
Ironsidos IL, Millersville o.


On Saturday afternoon the Ironsides
baseball club of this city visited Aillers-
vile where they played a match game with
the normal school nine. The day was
very pleasant, md as it was holiday there
was a very large attendance from this
city; special. cars were run on
the street railway and large numbers
of Lancasterians went to see the game in
their private conveyances. The grounds
on which the game was played belong to
the school, and they are, as every one
knows who have seen them, the finest in
the county. The game was called be-
tween two and three o'clock, and it was
concluded about half past four. 1t was
quite exciting to the seventh inning, but
it then became apparent that the Lancas-
ter team was by far the stronger OF the
two, and would have no trouble in winning
A number Of good plays were made on
both sides while there were several bad
errors. The Lancaster boys, especially
King, Miles and Arnold, batted heavily.
King, as usual, distinguished himself be-
hind the bat. He played in that
position for about half of the game when
he took Zecher's place at short stop, the
latter, who is also fine catcher, going be
hind the bat. George Myers, of this city
whose reputation as catcher is well
known. played behind the bat for the Mil
lersville nine, and had it not been for hi
fine work they would not have made th'
showing that they did Bart of the Millers
vile club played we'll on first base, whil'
several other members of the club dit

THE Bar of Mobile have paid a
Just tribute to a distinguished gentle
man, in recommending to President
Hayes the nomination OF Hon. Peter
Hamilton, of Mobile, as successor, up
on the United States Circuit Bench, to
Judge Woods, who will no doubt be
confirmed, to the Justiceship on the
Supreme Bench now vacant by the re-
signatiOn of Justice Strong. The
Mobile Register says Mr.. Hamilton is
well known rs one of the ablest jur-
lists of the South. He has never been
a partisan in the strict sense of the
word, and therefore is not obnoxious
to the Republican party at Washing
ton. His probity of character and
great learning should commend him
TO the favorable action of the Pres
ident. Such an appointment would
he a guarantee that sectionalism Is not
to find place on the Federal Bench.

SITTING BULLS UNCERTAINTY.
He will Surrender to the United
States, But will Not state
The Time.

The War Department received yes.
terday, through Captain Brotherton,
dated Buford, December 4, the report
of the scout Allison, who was sent out
to interview Sitting Bull. He said
that he arrived at Woody Mountain
November %. Sitting Bull arrived
the same day, also Col. irvine, Com
missioner of the Northwestern Police,
with Capt. Cotton, his Adjutant. "COl.
Irvine informed me that he was sent
here by the Canadian Government,
and especially to try and induce Sit
ting Bull to surrender to the United
States Government. He held a cOun-
Gil with him Sitting Bull) on the 23d,
which, at his'(COl. Irvine's) suggestion
| did not attend, and after he had con-
cluded his council went before them
and told them all | had to say in the
presence of Col. Irvine and his officers.
Sitting Bull asked for four days to de-
liberate, which time was granted, and
he then returned to his camp, which is
about eighteen miles from the place.
He came again yesterday and to-day,
another council was held, when he
assured Col. Irvine that he was going
over to the United States Govern
ment, but he would not say just when
he would start. He tells me that the
weather is very cold, and his people
are poorly clad, and that he must
watch for warm days to move; and
he adds that he is not quite ready, but
he cannot tell what he has to get
ready" Allison thinks that Sitting
Bull hopes that Maj. Walsh will re-
turn. He has no doubt but that Mai.
Walsh did make an agreement with
him, and that Walsh was in commu-
nicatiOn with Sitting Bull since he
went East until about ten days ago.
He has hopes of bringing Sitting Bull
in soon, based on the giving out of
their supply of meat. The "Gaul

more will start for Poplar river. Sans

A Short Horse soon.urried.

How to dispose of General Grant is
Il question that Congress may very
well let alone. The friends of the eX-
President are ut liberty to agitate it as
much as they please among them
selves, raise him iilimitable funds,
build him multitudinous monuments
and confer upon him all the decora-
tiOns and distinctions that they may
individually elect to extemporize for
the occasion, but they have no busi-
ness to intrude him upon the Capitol
as parsonage entitled to peculiar leg
islative favor.
To be put up like bill, with Il big
job in it, and log-rolled through Con-
gress, may not be offensive to the
tastes ofeither himself or his admirers,
but neither Senate nor House should
encourage such breach of proprieIy
nor set so bad precedent as TO single
him out for an eminent and exclusive
military sinecure.
The principle Of the thing is wholly
foreign to the spirit of republican in
stitutions. 1t is piece of ffummery
borrowed from corrupt and dynastic
usage. 1t is an approach to system
of favOriteism and man worship, so
widely separated from the simplicity
of a popular Government, where the
highest honor man can legitimately
reach by his own merit is still super
seeded by the exalted name of Ameri-
can citizen, that no lover of his coun-
try can contemplate it without abhor-
renee and alarm.
1t is also to be remembered that the
suggested Generalship for Grant in
wolves direct insult to dozens of
other officers, of at least equal merit
with himself, both in council and the
field, and who have an equal right to
ask the like consideration, if the pro-
posed precedent is tu become a settled
policy.
Therefore, let the proposition be
bowed out of the committee room, !
with all the courtesy that it deserves,
but, at the same time, in such Il way /
that it will never find its way back. |
This will settle the Grant business at .
once and forever, so far as Congress is

SENATOR LAMAR,
SOuth-Westrrn Churchman

was delighted to meet, Friday tn,
10th of December, Senator Lamar il
our city and on his way to Washing
ton. He seems to be in robust health
and looks stronger thanI have know
him to be for several years.
The State of Mississippi and the
whole South should cherish this wise
honest, and eloquent statesman. He
is the embodiment of all the at
tributes of chivalrous gentleman.
His varied and profound learning, his
clear judgement, his quickness of per-
ception, his mastery of language, and
critical taste make him the most elo-
quent and effective of all our forensic
orators; while his strict integrity, his
benevolent disposition, dauntless c0ur-
age and brilliant genius make him
the brightest ornament of the Senate.
Corrupt politicians hate and fear him.
Wise and honest men, and vrluous
women, and even little innocent child
rem admire and love him as truly
good and great man. His many, vir-
tues make him an honor to our whole
Republic, and while this pure patriot
lives, and represents our people in our
Federal Legislature, American Lib
erty will have faithful and powerful
guardian,

The GruInbIing Husband.

The grumbling husband" an indi-
yidual who, of al his fraternity, has
generally the least cause for complaint,
Is one of those advanced pessimists
who renders existence as obnoxious as
1t is possible TO make it to those who
have the misfortune to share his
earthly pilgrimage. 1t may be an
afilictiOn at the best of times, but the
glumbler makes it ten times worse.
He will begin the day by abusing his
breakfast; and II man who scowls over

may be pronounced as not likely to
Improve in temper as the hOuls adj
vance. The influence of a grumbling
woman is particularly depressing !;
but that of Il man Il chrome grumbler
is worse. Wemay expect to find some
capricious brightness or ephemeraI eX-

row-minded morbid complaints, for
woman's moods constantly vary but
with Il man all this is different. There
is more of the granite" in his COM
position. His intuitions are duller,
and his sympathies less active. He
will take Il positive pleasure in nurs
ing his gloom. 1t may proceed from
physical or mental causes, inces-
SAINT disappointments, or poor diges-
