Base Ball Matters.

The indianapolis base ball club arrived home
last night, and to-day and tomorrow will play
the Kentons, OF Covington, KY, on the Seventh
street grounds. Although they were victorious
in every game played during the trip, they were
unfortunate otherwise, as the Buckeyes, OF Co
lumbus, disbanded, and Manager O'Leary was
compelled to sue them for the $3.50 guarantee,
and at Dayton, from all accounts, they had to
beat not only the club, but the umpire and
crowd as well.
The Indianapolis club again defeated the Day
tons, yesterday, in a ten inning game, by ascore
of 5 TO 4.
There will be a game of ball between the Me-
ridian-street club and the indianapolis club, on
the latter's grounds, next Saturday. The Me-
ridian club is composed as follows:
Campbell, c.; Dempsey, D.; Shideler, LIST; Wiles,
I'd; Orloff, Sd; Brown, c. f.; Cones, +. f.; Brown

Comparative Table of Failures in this City

The Bradstreet Mercantile Agency furnishes
the following statement of failures in Indianap-
oils for the first five months of 1881, 1882 and
1888. The large amounts shown In April and
May, 1882, were caused by the failure of the
Central Bank and Woollen, Webb & Co. Leay-
ing these out there is still a large increase in
number and amount. The average dividend

THE REVISED BIBLE.

One Of the largest dealers in religious
publications in the city being asked to-
day as to the sale of the revised Testa-
mentsaid: "It is so small that it is
scarcely worth mentioning The sale
stopped as if by magic when popular
curiosity was satisfied and does not
seem to have picked up again. 1t is
bark to compare the sale of the revised
edition with that of the authorised
edition, because the former is too small
to be considered. During the past
month we have sold, perhaps, 500 or
600 copies of the authorized edition of
the New Testament, and certainly not
more than half dozen copies of the
revised version. The sudden failure
of the work, so to speak, has been a
severe blow to many of our leading
publishers. Some twenty-five or
thirty editions have been issued, at an
expense of several hundred thousand
dollars. Judging by the present sale
of the New Testament revision, the
American publishers will be few who
will undertake to spend their money
in the issue of revised editions of the
Old Testament. 1 have tried to get
the new work introduced into Sunday
schools as a book of reference and a
commentary, and have uniformly fail.
ed. Some influence seems to work
steadily against it in all directions,
and, although my stock of the books
is now very low, 1 do not see the
necessity of replenishing it. Scholars
and students seem to like the book but
the general public ignore it."--Neso

A TOW OF 1000 MILES.

last night to tow the new steam drcdge
La Comtesse dc Scsseps'' from 1. p.
Morris's shipward to Aspinwaii, for
the Panama Canal Company. The
distance is 1000 miles. The Claudius
was built in 1879, at Glasgow, and is
known as a ten-knot craft. She will
tow in bride fashion, with two haw-
sers, which will be made fast forward
at the tuff of her bow on each side, thus
leaving her stern free to answer the
helm. She is well supplied with steel
hawsers, and will be provided with
1900 tons Of coal. The course will be
to "skin" the shore from the Capes to
Hattcras, thence across the Gulf stream
and h cad south for the crooked Island
passage. It is the biggest undertaking
in the line Of towing except when the
Bermuda Dry Docks were towcd from
Great Britain to the Bermudas. The
dredge is heavily insured in this city,

oak cane, which is made from the first

In America. The Spaniards, when
they settled st. Augustin, Florida, in
1865, bent themselves first TO building
a block-house. This was constructed
of live oak logs, and 1t stood until 1911,
when it was torn down. The wood Of
which the cane is male was taken from
one of the logs of the block house by
its present owner, who had it turned

tue END OF LIFE.

The most thrilling quality of this
life lies in the fact that it must soon
end. You -.are-.strangely- fashioned if
you have never been suddenly filed
with the thought that ,"I too must
die" All hope Of escaping death is
taken away by the whole history Of
man and OF. the animal kingdom, for
in the long record of thousands of
years no one has escaped the icy mes
senger. All the millions who once
peopled old Egypt and Greece and old
Syria and Arabia and even old Eng
land are gone from this existence. No
law is more universal than that of
death. 1t omits no bird or beast, or
insect or man. When an ancient
tyrant condemned certain phfloso-
pher and said "I sentence you to
DEATH" the doomed man smiled and
replied, "Nature has said the sameto
three" 1t is strange feature of this
earth that we must all leave It. All
hope is, cut off, for be man rich or
poor, high or low, great or humble, he
must lay down his life and give back
his body to the dust. Society is per-
petual, but each member of it Is tenn
'porary aud perishable. Man Is a
river which goes on forever, but you
and l are the creatures of q day and
are crowded aside by the new inflow
ing crowd. Individual souls are only
the leaves with which the living forest
clothes itself for only one summer
time. When one of the sacred writers
says: awe do all fade as leaf" he
offers US close simile, for what are we
forth to do duty and be the decoration
of single season ? In the autumn
