Hartford Times.
 !" want 10 70 to the base bah game said A Cleveland young lady 10 her teller
 You he exclaimed in anasement. " You wouldn't know base hit from a passed ball, or Shree-bagger from an assist.
 But. George. dear, could learn. You know how soon l p.cked up that new embroidery stieh, and how quick am at everything"
 Well, there is no use in following her argument. Every man has been through il, first or last, and knows how. 1t always comes out. She went 10 the game. George had been used to sitting ia one of the side stands, where he had . hvorite seat and the privilege of smoking and guying the umpire to his hearts content. On this occasion he sat primiy up "be- hind beas,iy wire screen," as he ment- ally called 1t, and prepared to suffer The Cleveland was at the bat.
 Which Clevelands are those in gray s' asked Maud. Why don't they all dress alike =
 Those are the Clevelands the others are the Bostons-"
 What are the Bostons doing here Did they come all this distance to see the game =
 No they are going to play" "i though, they were 10 sec the Cleve- lands play"
 Why, they both play
 Oh, we arc going so see two games How nice"
 In the meantime the frst man at the bat, after two strikes and live balls popped high fly up to short centre field and started to hrs, like bird. The ball was caught, and he set out leisurely foI home.
 What made that man run f' was the next question.
 He wanted to get to first" Whats 6rst
 That bag yoade1."
 Why dida't he go. Was he afraid that man sanding on the bag wouldn't like itI"
 .Thas must have been it," said George tn despair.
 In . iew noments Cleveland went ou, and started for the held, while Bosson reversed the movement "Whas is that for!'
 "The Cieveiands are out. The Bostons 20 to the bai.' aChw Just then a Boston siugger struck a liner for two bases and started on hii 1 tour.
 By Jese, that's daisy.' said George. Maud understood this Yes," said she, think %, too. I've been watch. ing him, and he's real handsome. Bat George, she said, as the bean-easeY stoi( third, "he doesn't care bit whether ths Clevelands like n or not. He's going right on, and think it's real mean. q he's . yisitor."
 The next Boston hitter struck too shcr, and was caught at 6rss, but is brought ia the run from the third.
 That's a run," said George.
 And is that . run, too. that man vslkisg in ]"
 No, thafs an out." Ho~ much does aa cut oeans 7"

THE LAND FORFEITURE,

Delegate Brcn;s gives his views ON the
forfeiture question in Congress, the
chances, etc, in the following letter, which
we copy from the Dayton Chronicle OF
of Feb. 23d:

WHAT ARR THE CoEUR ALENE
MINERS GOING TO DOp

The excitement fomented according
to estimates made, will bring to that sec
ton from 10000 to 10000 population,
from east of the Rockies. 1t is
is not reasonable to suppose that all this
population can find employment at re
munerative wages in the mines, until
much more has been discovered than
now reported, and the chances are that
much the larger portion have not the
means for devoting the entire season in
prospecting that region without realizing
some return for their labor If the spring
should open with new and further discov-
cries of rich mines, the encouragement
for the profitable employment of this
labor will be much enhanced from what
it is now. But with the best reasonable
prospects, there still will be large sur
plus of labor in the mines. The papers
of the northern counties seem to think
that much OF this surplus will turn their
attention to the agricultural advantages
of this section, if disappointed in the
mines. This may be as anticipated, but
it is doubtful. Ii they will scatter out
into other localities where agricultural
advantages are more general aud better,
and 90 to work, the country generally
| will be better off even if the men them
selves do not make as much money as
they anticipated when they started for the
mines. We do not see wherein ranchers
and farmers OF this section can expect to
do better in the mines with all this surplus
labor, than they can by remaining at
home and raising more agricultural pro,
ducts. In some eases, which in our judge
ment will be very isolated, few may dc
well in the mines, but they probably woult
do much better at home and have thl
satisfaction Of developing their ranches
to a much greater degree and enhancin.
their value two or three fold, and be ac
tually richer by attending to that deyel
opment. We then say that in their cas-
prudence is the better part Of valor, ant
they had better remain where they ar,
and let the men who are at1oat withou
employment go there and take the chances
If one half Of those who come from tn,
East would avoid the mines altogethe
and 20 out over this northwestern countr'
and turn their attention aud labor to tn
development of the agricultural resources
we believe that much more wealth woul'
be produced

SAN Francesca, Feb. 2Jjh.-The
Western Union got oa t,.rot.-h direct
wire south at $ pm. Ii pmts just re-
eeived from Lo5 Angeles state, that the
RAIN storm Is the greatest ever had since
1875. The floods were terribly dlsas-
trous, and carried destruction on every
hand. There is great distress in the sec
tons bordering the Santa Ana and San
Gabriel rivers. Superintendent Hewitt
hopes to have the Southern Pacific in
temporary running order in a few days.
Men have been tclegraphed for in all di-
rections. The most dreadful occurrence
was the breaking of the Tehunga dam,
which devastated and laid waste an i'm
mense area Of country. 1t is impossible
at this early moment to learn or estimate
the damage. Baiona creek, near Santa
Monica, burst into the lake, and Drs.
Jeffies and Cook were washed out to sea
and drowned.
TEHAcHIpI, Cal, Feb. 20th-There
have been slides on the Southern Pacific
at tunnels No. |, ), &, 5 and Il. From
Mojave to Lancaster the ground is too
wet to work. One foreman reports work
on his section alone for a thousand men
San Fernando tunnel is reported caved

The railroad company is doing all in its
power to keep the road open. Large

MORMON COUNCILMEN DE.
FAINT.

SALT LAKE, Feb. 20th.--For thirty
years Salt Lake City has been governed
by polygamous council and officers.
Last night the new council was elected I'M
der the Edmunds law and qualified. Alder
man Raleigh, Il Mormon bishop, boosted of
having served since the city had coun-
ell, and said that no act of his gave great
er satisfaction than the one which disiran
chised him, and called upon the members
of the new council to enter into polygamy
and gain disfranchiscment. ID. II. Wells
protested against the election conducted
by the Utah commission, and would not
give up his place in the council if the
newly elected men had not been Mormons.
Raleigh and Wells have several wives
each and are prominent church officials.

The Boat Club.

There is a good prospect of boat club
being organized in Palatka, as a number
of gentlemen have signifed their willing
ness to become members of such an or
ganization. The projectors of the new
boat house, described in yesterdays pa
per, have agreed to let the club have its
headquarters in the building, and a room
will be set aside for that purpose No
better place could be had for the clubs
meetings, as the boat house, besides af-
fording every convenience needed, will
have hall in which all public entertain
ments can be held, dances, banquets, etc
There are a number of gentlemen here
who are fine boatmen, and if they can
be got together in a club they will pull
out little ahead of any thing that can
brought against them.
The club will probably be organized in
a few weeks.
