BASE BALL.-Some thirty or forty Alexan-
Irians went TO Washington yesterday after
noon to Witness q game of base ball be-
tween the first nine OF the \. Il. Il. Associa
ton and the deaf and dumb nine ut Kendall
Green College. but were all much disappoim
ted IL the game was hot played. When the,
Alexandria nine arrived, there appeared nu-
mcroll, mute students in uniform as if ready
to play. but they disappeared in few mo-
myn,,. and gradually players appeared on
the grounds. one or two at time, including
some from the department mines and one
colorrd student The Alexandria CAPTAIN
politely informed them that they might
play department men. professionals or visi-
tors, but lnuSl put or the colored man. The
so-raIlcI mites iahout of them could talk
positively declined to play, if the colored
student WIS objected to. The AlcxantlrianS
then quietly got into their conveyance and
eil. II Was the unanimous opinion of spec
taIor- that the kcndalls were surprised at
the line appearance Of the Alexandria boys,
and insisted on their point, rather than risk
defeat rs they had to leave the colorcd
student of when they played the Aunapolis
cadets and the Episcopal High School.
The following is the Washington Rrpubf-
cdn account OF the affair: An Alexandria
hasr bail club came up 10 this city yesterday
afternoon To play Il game with the Kendall
Oh the gruI!n,i- I'll The latter When these
scium- ui ii" +. +. \. : discovered that there
WAS It ruinrr.,l man ON the nine of the Ken
dali they refused 10 play. The Young col
orcd man has been attached to the college
fora number OF years, and is very much re-
spcclcd. He isan excellent ball player. and
the distinguished Nrgnians did not raisc
objection on a'r"llh Of his standing az ii
player. but simply On account of his color.
The Kendall offered to pay the entire cx-
prls,s of the hiGh-toncd NirSinians if they
would play the game, but they could not
think of touching Il bail or bat that had been
handled by il ''nggci' They offered to
play until That man came to the bat and
then cal 1.-The game and decide it in their
favor. The kcndalls very properly stood
by their man and so no game was played.
This Is the first time objection hascvcr been
raised Oh the grounds Of the Kendall nine.

Palaces and novels, we have many
of each, in the great city. Yet there
be some who have no home-no
home in palace, no home in how
ell, no home anywhere in the great
city, no home on the broad earth.
The boy of only sixteen who blew
his brains out a few days ago had
companions and playmates, but he
had no home. The little babe that,
on one cold night, was found frozen
to death in a public street in its mo-
theirs arms, had no home to be taken
to. Even the warmth of mothers
breast was insufficient to keep life in
its tiny veins; so it perished OF the
cold, all for the want of home.
Young man, let it be your ambi-
tion and effort to acquire and own
home of your own, however humble
it be. More sumptuous quarters
may wait on an increase of wealth;
but be content at first with modest
home, so that it is yours. But rest
not without something to your name
that will answer the description of
that precious monosylablc, HoME.
Consider the sorrows of the homeless,
and remain not, indolently, one of
their number.
