WHAT He SAID.

oh, yes, I'll tell you the story
The very words that were said.
You see the supper was cooking,
ana was sliclng some bread,
AND Richard came into the pantry:
HIS race was exceedingly red.
He opened his half-shut fingers.
and gave me the glimpse of ring:
And then-oh, yes, / remember
The kettle began to sing.
And Fanny came IN with her baby
Inc cunningest bit of thing;
And the biscuits were out in minute
Wen, what came next? Let me Sec
oh! Fanny was there with the baby.
| And we all sat down to tea,
And grandma looked over her glasses
so queer at Richard and me.
But it wasn't till after milking
That he said what he had to say,
How was it? Oh, Fanny had taken
The baby and gone away
The funniest rogue of a fellow
He had q new tooth that day.
We were standing under the plum-tree,
And Richard SAID something low,
But was tired and flustered,
And trembled, l almost know:
For old Red is the hardest of mixers,
And Br1ndle's so horribly slow. 4s@
And that-let me see-where was II
Oh, the stars grew thick overhead.

Some fears have been expressed that the new
grounds of the Metropolitan Baseball Club at One
Observation-Disclosures and FiTstave. Will not be in
readiness for the opening of the season on April /.
Out-Of-tOwn lovers OF the game, who are not on
friendly terms with the managers in this city have
hnted that the project was blind" and that the
Metropolitan Club would again play on the Polo
Grounds. Such reports were found to be grOundless
upon investigation by a TRIBUNE reporter. One Of
the members of the Metropolitan Club was seen
yesterday and readily gave all the information IN
his power. The grounds are already filed in and
the carpenters VIII be put to work as soon as tho
frost is out Of the ground. grand stand with
double wings viii be built to seat 5000 persons

grounds. Arrangements will be made that will en-
able residents Of Jersey City, Brooklyn and 10 er
New-York to reach the grounds by water. steamer
will leave Jersey City stopping at or two points
in New-York and Brooklyn, and arriving near the
grounds IN time for the game. A pier will be buIlt
for the landing of the passengers within few yards
of the grounds One-hundred-and-eghth-st will
have to be closed. lease Of the grounds has been
secured for five years. Consequently, how soon the
grounds shall be ready depends entirely upon the
weather.

ASSAULT IND BITTERY UNREcoGyIzED.

The decision by Judge Barrett that there isl such
crime as "assauIt and battery under the. Penal
Code of New-IOrk was the subject OF much com
ment yesterday, and the opinions expressed on the
question varied greatly. The District Attorney,
Peter b. Olney, said: This was purely technical
question and decided on purely technical grounds.
Judge Barrett, in tho Heating case held that the
distinction between assault and battery and as
sault IN the third degree was technical, and he
sentenced the prisoner term in the penitentary
But on his attention being called to the decision of
Judge Clement, he held the ease under adyisement
and on Monday h" ordered keating's discharge. 1t
is a fact that assault and battery is not known By
that name under tie Penal Code. OF course tins
decision will affect al who have been convicted Of
assault and battery | shall sse Judge
Barrett and get his reasons for his decisions
- This is the FUNNIEST thing | have seem" said
Jude Rufus b. Cowug, Of tho Court Of General
Sessions 81 have not seen the decision Cf judge
Clement ON this point, nor do know what was tue
rra.ouiuy OF Judge Barrett bat | think the point
/, wei taken. have Il case before me now. on ap
peal, in which Ibis very point under discussion IS
IN ISSUE My opinion is that no such crime rs rs
SAL and battery is known to our law to-day:
Prisoners already serving sentences Tor assault and
battery ought 20 be discharged at once. They can
not be tried over again
