lBase Ball Park, indianapolis, June 2I, 's3.l
1t was a summer evening;
Old Kaspar's work was done,
And he before his toll-gate door
Was sitting in the sun:
And by him spOrted on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine.
She saw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round,
winch he beside the fair. ground fence
In playing there, had found;
&c came to ask what he had found
That was so hard and SIN Doth and round.
Old Kaspar took it from the kid,
Who stood expectant by
Threw up one hand and "ducked" his head,
And winked a wary eye,-
"Tis one of Spaulding's balls" said he,
"Knocked out in the great victory!
"They find them near the stock-yards-
There's many thereabout;
And often up by Broad Ripple
The farmers pillow them out.
., many a betting man." said he,
Got left in that great victory!'
Now tell us all about the game!'
Young Peterkin, he cries;
And little Wilhelmine looked up
With wonder-waiting eyes,
"NOw tell us all about the score
And was one club from Baltimoreq'
"You've called the turn" old Kaspar cried,-
"The Baltimores it was;
And why they missed connections with
Our home nine was because
Mckeon and keenan, were,'' said he,
"U~nrivalled as a battery.
"And Callahan, whose bat could lift
A ball clean out of sight,,
Did execution at the plate
Would thrill you with delight
Twas DER the left-feld fence that he
Italicized our victory.
"They say it was a touching scene
After the game was won;
The B~altimores, aboard the cars,
Then scored a hOmeward run;
But runs like that don't count, you see,
After a famous victory.
"Great praise Dorgan and Kerins won,
OLeary. TOO, 1 ween-"
"But how about the score, grand-pa2"
QuOth little Wllhelmine;
"What matters that to your said he,
at was a famous victory.
"And everybody praised our boys
Who this great game did win"
"But how about the score-thes core?'
Cried little Peterkin:

celebrated when milk is heated at 40
degrees, but retarded if heated for
twenty-four hours at 80 degrees. In
the latter case, however, the milk as

mended TO use partially creamed milk,

II IS maintained by some scientists
that the aroma of fruits increases
with the latitude, while the sweet
ness decreases. Many herbs, such as
carraWay, are richer in essential oils
in Norway than in more southern re-
gions. This effect is ascribed to the
influence of the prolonged light of the
summer months.
The weight of any bar of wrought
iron may be found by these rules:
Flat and square iron, multiply the
area of the end in inches by the
length in feet, and this product by
the constant number 1888; the quo
tient is the weight in pounds. Round
iron: Multiply the square of the di-
ameter in inches by the length in feet.
and the product by the constant 2.61;

Prof. Proctor reasons that the moon
has grown old six times as fast as the
earth. a comparison Of the masses and
radiating surfaces of the two bodies
making it evident that the earth'S in
ternal heat was originally sufficient to
last six times as long as the moons
supply. On the very moderate assump-
tion, therefore, that only twelve mill
ions of years have passed since til t
earth and the moon were at the same
stage of planetary life, this astrono-
mer shows us that sixty millions of
years must elapse before the earth
will have reached the stage through
which the moon is now passing.
From geological paper by NJ Mich
aud on the material collected and OBJ
servationS made by him in the valley
of the Ogone, in Central Africa, some
interesting facts are given. The tenn
perature is nearly constant at about
ninety degrees Fahrenheit. Maize,
manioc and tobacco are grown. AL
though the people are peaceable, they
are very brave. The sheep have no
wool, and but very little hair. In the
forests there is dark, fierce species
of cattle found in great abundance,
probably because the fear with which
the natives regard them, allows these
animals to multiply without the re-
straint of the chase. There are no in
digenous horses in the region.

England's Great Penal Colony.


The governor of New Caledonia is
aghast at the proposal to fill that set
tlement with habitual criminals. To
promote free colonization, he proposes
to offer free passage, free living for
six months after arrival, and many
other tempting offers to all good emf
grants. But to coloniZe New Caledo-
MIA is only possible under the one con-
dition. that it is not at the same
time peopled with criminals. To let
loose some thousands of habitual
criminals incapable of earning a
livelihood among the colonists, would
be a continual source of trouble if
not Of danger, to the colony. The pro-
ject, it is declared in New Caledonia,
will bring any colony to sure and
speedy ruin, and it is therefore to be
hoped that the senate will not let a
measure pass which threatens the fu-
ture of French colonies in general and
that of New Caledonia in particular.
England also has reasons of her own
for hoping that the Recidivist bill
will be rejected. Otherwise all the
troubles that have as yet arisen be-
tween England and France will be as
nothing to that which will arise be-
tween the rulers responsible for the
government of Australia and the gov
eminent which turns the refuse of it's
jails loose upon the Antipodes.

London Life vouches for this story
of the Due de Sesto, King Alfonso's
intimate companion: ga year or so
ago member Of the Spanish diplo-
matte service married a young lady of
great beauty. Shortly after his mar
rage he was somewhat surprised to
receive notice that he had been ap-
pointed to a high position in Cuba,
and that he was expected to under
take his new duties without delay.
The time was so short that he was
obliged to leave his wife behind, and
accordingly prepared to start at once.
He babe farewell to his family, and left
the house, but instead of leav-
ing Madrid, he managed to miss his
train, and returned home, somewhat
late in the evening. On arriving he
was surprised to find the DUO de Sesto
in possession, but of course took care
not to express any establishment
Presently, however, he rose, saying he
was going to see his wife. The duke
| at this showed considerable perturba-
ton. and tried Ito persuade him from
doing so. What happened after this
nobody seems to know, but the next
evening the inquisitive Spaniard was
| found stabbed to death in his own
dining room. An inquiry, or an apol-
| ogy for one was held, and verdict
was returned that the unfortunate
diplomat had committed suicide!'

Rapid Growth Of Carp.


1t is generally supposed that fish
are animals of slow growth, but OBJ.
servation shows that they increase in
size very rapidly. This is peculiarly
the case with carp, the new fish now
being introduced throughout the
country. Ellwood McIntire, of this
borough, is engaged in the culture OF
this variety Of fish at his fathers
farm, in the eastern part Of the town.
He has built a dam and formed a pond
about thirty by sixty feet, fed by
a small stream from springs in the
mellow. IN this pond he put twenty
carp received about five months ago
from Washington. They were then
the size of a mans finger. Last week
we visited the place and were shown
by Mr.. McIntire one of these fish,
which he caught in his hands for this
purpose, and its measurement was as
follows: Length, twelve inches;
breadth, four inches; thickness, two
inches. The carp is not a handsome
fish by any means, being of a yellow
ish, leathery color, bat If its flesh is IS
good as reputed and it increases in
size so rapidly pond of them would
be almost as profitable as pen of
pigs.

toned on the subject. The tendency
