HOW TO COURT.
DIR. Stevenson Throws Light ON a Vital
and Interesting Subject.

Now, come sit down with me and
learn how to court" said DR. ]. W. Stevenson last
evening at the Union Wesley Church, as he began
his lecture on Courtship and Marriage and the
dozen virgins the three widows and the four staid
deacons that constituted the audience east their
eyes up expectantly to the lecturer. He was
black as coal, and wore a double breasted
frock coat closely buttoned up. show
ing q slight expanse of shirt BOSOM
on which glistened fiat gold stud. His lecture
was written in a small blank book, which he
placed on a table in front of the pulpit but in the
delivery he occupied the entire space inside the
altar rail. Before beginning his lecture he stated
that he had never delivered it before such small
audience, and the peculiar feature about it was
that he had never finished it. In Boston, the au-
dience, after paying twenty-five cents to
hear it, presented him with ten satin
purses filed with gold and silver. But
even then he had not finished the lecture. Like
de bees" said the lecturer sententiOusly after de
honey, they allus want mo-" After thus whetting
the appetite of his audience the lecturer proceeded
to say that marriage was lottery, because court
ship is grand scheme of deception. Who courts
honestly? Very few. A young man is attracted
by girls good looks, and he saystoa friend, " Hey
Jim see dat girl darI Ny, she's pretty Her waist
SO slim, pears like it would break if you
put your arm around her" He gets an introduc-
ton, then talks nonsense 1or couple OF weeks,
and then they get married. This description con-
vulsed the young girls, and caused the old deacon
in the corner 20 call out fervently: OATS So
He denied that kissing created love-it creates pas
sion Character is the only real basis of love- The
proper age for girls TO get married is between
twenty and twenty-four. The idea Of girl of
thirteen or fourteen getting married The
old deacon in the corner again broke out with
feryent Dat soT The first thing in courtship is
not to get so near together the sofa that he
put his around her, but to find out each others
opinion. This remark caused the girls to giggle,
and a small boy in the back seat to applaud Wig
orouSly After finishing up the subject of religion,
the courting couple were advised to talk about
education and thus prevent the increase in the
number Of numskulls in the world. The lecturer
then gave very lively description OF the infeliei
ties of badly assorted marriage. which caused
the audience to howl with merriment.

THE POINT LOOKOUT ROAD.
Fixing the Right of Way Through the
Southern Tier of Counties.

S. Taylor Suit, president of the Wash
ington City and Point Lookout Railroad Company
forwarded to the clerks Office here for record, one
day last week. fourteen deeds conveying to his
company the right of way for the proposed route
oftheir road through this county. The grantors
named in the deeds are Maria Yates and husband,
James J. Naylor and wife, George Sembly, Beatrice
and Laura Gardiner, Samuel S. Senbly, William
W. Thomas G. A. Goldsmith, w. L. Nutwell, G. 1.
Chappelear, B. F. Bowling, and Henry a. Canter.
The first three of the deeds, which purport to con-
vey the road bed already graded by the Southern
Maryland Railroad Company are for an aggregate
consideration of S75; the remainder of them recte
the nominal consideration of 81 each. 1t seems
that the Southern Maryland Company's proposed
route through this county is about the same, as
the Point Lookout Company has failed to obtain
any right of way through the county, and Mr..
Suit, by his prompt action in obtaining grants of
the right of way, has gained an advantage over
the rival company.-Port Tobacco Times.

The Princeton University baseball nine
yesterday under the protecting of Mr.. Justice
Harlan, called at the Executive Mansion, where
they were presented to the President who received
| them very cordially, and said that he should make
an effort to be present at the grounds and witness
one of the games. As the President failed to wit
ness the game yesterday, in all probability he will
be On the grounds day. He is known to be an
ardent lover of the sport, and when in Congress
never lost an opportunity of witnessing contest
After leaving the White House the college boys
visited other places of interest in the city, and
about half past three o'clock in the afternoon pro-
ceeded to the ball grounds in their uniforms of
white with stockings of yellow and black stripes.
They were accompanied by about twenty gradu-
ates of the university now in the city, who had
| chartered tally-ho coach for the OCCASION and
WENT FORTH IN GRAND STYLE
to witness how the home team would be taken in
and done for The visitors were very confident OF
winning. They had not only strong team, but
enjoyed the advantage of having engaged IN
matches with some of the best clubs in the country
and being in most excellent practice. On the
other hand the National men had never played
together as nine until they met on the grounds
yesterday. There were about 500 spectators on the
grounds. 1t is safe to say that not prettier game
or more interesting one will be played there this
season. 1t opened badly for the Nationals, who,
by errors permitted the visitors to score their only
run in the first inning. After that
THE NATIONALS SETTLED DOWN TO WORK,
and the University nine found run getting more
of task than they had anticipated. Their friends
occupied seats at the extreme right of the uncoy-
cred stand, and particularly hilarious at the
commencement of the game, indulging in their
peculiar college cheer and tiger when the run was
scored. But it stopped right there and then, and
that corner was remarkably quiet spot during
the remainder of the game. The gamins seemed
to appreciate their situation and when the Ma
tionas took the lead they went over to the Prince
ton boys and cheered for them. The game was
noticeable more particularly for the brilliant out
fielding of Duffield and Wadleigh on the one side
and Baker and Mansell on the other. The latter
found that they still had host of friends in the
city and were
COMPELLED TO TAKE OFF THEIR CAPS
in acknowledgment of the applause bestowed
upon their handsome catches. Weidman filed
the pitchers position for the Nationals and both
cred the Princetons badly, as they were unable to
secure but four hits Archer, for the visitors, was
hit pretty hard, and had it not been for the sharp
fielding of his men a larger score would have
stood against him. Mr.. Kipp was selected as UNI
pire and doubtless tried to satisfy both Sides but
his judgment in regard to balls and strikes did not
seem to be perfect Probably lack Of practice was
against him. Appended is -s4.
