William M. Evarts squelching an Egotist.
John B. Alley, of Massachusetts, on.
of the greatest egotists who ever sat In
Congress, resides in Washington during
sessions of Congress. He entertains
well. At one time he gave a dinner,
and among the noted guests William M.
Evarts, ex-Secretary of State, was pres.
ent. During the whole evening Mr.. AL
ley had the bad taste to monopolize the
conversation, and he necessarily talked
of himself. At last after he had spent
the better part of the evening in regal
ing those present with what President
Buchanan had asked Mr.. Alley, and
how MIR. Alley had replied to Buchanan,
of how Abraham Lincoln had greeted
Alley on o certain occasion, and how
Salmon P. Chase had advised with him
on another, Mr.. Evarts was asked if he
had anything to say. He replied that
he had single story to tell. 1t wa:
about Columbus. Said he: "You re-
member the anxiety of the mind of Col
umbus as the time arrived when he had
calculated he should arrive on the shore!
of the new country. Morning aftel
morning he appeared early on the deck
straining his eyes in looking toward the
west. At last, one day as he gazet
through his glass, his face was seen t.
shine with surprise. He looked long
and earnestly, and finally handed th'
glass to his most intimate friend at hi
side, saying: "There, Alley, there i

Old Times in Base Ball.

In 1865 and 1866 perfect frenzy Of
ball-playing swept over the United
States. Old and young took part or in
terest in the game. Every village and
hamlet boasted of its nine, and in the
cities the list of clubs rivalled the Hon.
eric catalogue of the ships. The game
as played then had breezy range and
flavor. The ball, charged to its full
with rubber, bounded among the field
ers with the ricochet of q cannon ball.
One country nine, famous for prowess
in hitting, had its bats made of huge
square pickets whitfield down at the
end. Another team bore vast round
beams of Eastwood as large as mans
thigh, bored out and charged with cork
to make them light. The lookers-on in
variably constituted themselves sort
of high court of appeal without any
legal delicacies of language. Occasion
ally, in more exciting contests, u stone
or brickbat projected from the crowd
emphasized its opinions, and sometimes
it seemed as though the umpire would
have to qualify for medieval suit of
armor to hold his place. AS for the
mines. an epigrammaticp phrase by which
once heard q player describe his team,
may suffice. Said he: "Our nine can't
bat much, or throw much, or catch
much, but they're tirst-rate takers. "
Many funny incident crosses memory
in looking back on those old days. In
one of the games a line ball struck the
pitcher-a pulpy round-headed class.
mate squarely on the side of the head
The ball caromed sideways to q fielder,
who caught it on the fly, putting the
striker out amid shrieks of merriment.
In another instance during a match
game a swift elmer" hit the player on
the ankles, followed up his body, and
caught at the chest. Perhaps, however
the most famous catch of all was tha
of an Indifferent player whose back hap.
pened to be turned just as hard-hit
ball was struck to him. He turned sud
denly, exactly in time, as it seemed, tt
receive the ball in the pit of the stomach
But he threw out his left hand defensive.
ly, and the ball, to the utter amazemen
of the spectators and even more of the
player himself, "stuck'' between thumb
and forefinger.-M. Y. Evening Post.

''Wel, / don't think 1t would have
pleased me over much; but I'd be glad
to see the boy right here now, and I'd
tell you to be happy with all my heart
that would.
The mans eyes were filled with an
unusual moisture, and he moved
towards the door, when, on the thresh-
old, he stood face to face with Daniel De-
Wolf The young manwas drenched and
muddy, but there was no question of his
identity, and in another moment he
was the centre of a happy family
group.
"Well, well. nv dear fellow" cried
Mr.. Crittenden rs he wruug the young
mans hand, 1--WE all supposed you dead.
Tell us all about it.
There is not much TO tell" said
Daniel modestly. II was awakened by
the water, which was so high that 1
feared the dam might be in danger, and
lighted the lantern and crossed the
bridge to 60 up on the other side and
look at it. had scarcely reached the
opposite side of the stream when the
dam above gave way and took the
bridge with il. l could only cross the
Branch to get back by going up to the
Four-Mile bridge. and the water was SO
high, and travelling SO bad, that it took
me long time: out here | am"
well, my hoy. I'm very glad to see
you back here and 1 was just saying
something 10 Ethie about you; but she
can tell you all about that later on.
Get your clothes chan red, and well
have some breakfast-tlicre'l be time
enough 10 talk business afterwards"
And the result of it all was that wher
the mill was rebuilt and enlarged the
following season, it was put in the care
of another, for Daniel found n place il
the store us y partner of Mr.. Critten
den, and nj the big house on the hill
which was the envy of all the neigh
bors, there was partnership of more
tender nature, of which the reader
hardly needs to be told more.

Good Deal Of a Grandfather.

j. w. Wise q sawyer in the mill of
Bay & Roney, near Spaldingville, KY,
is now just 36 years old, and has been a
grandfather eighteen months. This
makes him grandfather at the age OF 35
years, which is one year younger than
the Clark county grandfather. His wife
was only 81 years old when her grand
child was born. She was married at
the age of IA years, and their daughter
was married at the same age; Mr.. B.
F. Spaulding, also living near there, was
grandfather at So years of age. There
is rathera strange freak in the last-nam-
ed gentleman's family. He has light
hair and blue eyes and his wife has
black hair and black eyes. Tney have
eight children, four boys and four girls;
four of them have black hair and black
eyes, and four of them blue eyes and
light hair.

A Knlghthood for Mr.. Irving.

Mr.. Irying's meditated visit to Sal dring-
ham, the Prince of Wales royal residence,
has started anew the gossip about knight
ing him. On the subject, Labouchere has
his opinion: Nothing can be conceived
more utterly silly than for person to wish
that his lineal descendants should in sae,tld
sosculor7m have 'Sir" pretixed to their
names-indeed, seldom month passes
without the newspapers calling attention to
some hereditary transmitter OF this prefix
either figuring in the dock or seeking
parish relief. Against personal titles there
is no such objection. They simply denote,
BY an honorary prefix, that the bearer of
them has, or is supposed to have, laudably
distinguished himself in some way or an
other. If leaders of orchestras in theatres
are made knights, why should not actors

On the occasion of the Cars cornation
the Russian papers confidently predict an
absence of the bOistrrous revelry and coarse
excess which too often disgrace Russian
festivities. The idea at one time entertained
of excavating an immense pond In the mid
die of the festivalground and filling it with
beer has been abandoned; but 100 railway
carriages will be stationed in the Khodinksi
Plain, where the greatest atfiuence of spec
tators is expected, and will serve as tenn
porarY buffet. Beer and mead will be served
to all comers, and each drinker will be pre-
sented with a handsome mug, decorated
with the imperial crown and bearing an in
scrtption referring to the occasion. Each
person present will also be presented with
two large patties-One meat, the other of
preserves-together with pound of sweets,
dried fruits and gingerbread. Spirits of
every kind will be vigorously prescribed.
A conc srt will be given by IL military bands
and IL regimental choruses.
