Mr.. Bayard has made his first contribu.
tion toward the election OF Cleveland, in
one of the most manly efforts OF the
campaign, delivered at Brooklyn Monday
evening, the greater portion Of which we
present this morning, In Mr.. Bayard's
addresses we always find more than
consideration OF surface issues. lie deals
with vital and fundamental principles,
and the danger OF putting corrupt man
at the head of the government, alarms
him not simply as the prospect OF
disgraceful and humiliating episode, but
as shock to the integrity OF our institu
tions from which we may never entirely
recover. Mr.. Bsyard is no idle alarmist.
He has as much faith as any one in the
elasticity Of our institutions, and their
ability to endure any ordinary strain,
but he knows that corruption breeds cor
ruption, and that no government can
have 8 sound body and members with
moral and political rottenness at the
head. That it would have this shouli
Mr.. Blaine be elected, he fears and
feels, He has known intimately
the latter's career in Congress.
h has watched him with the jealous
anxiety of man who is indifferent to
to nothing that affects the republic for
good Or for Ill. He has studied his
methods and his motives, and he dis
trusts what he will do If given the oppor-
tunity because of what he has done. The
reasons for this distrust he explains at
great length and the contrast of Blaine's
character and record with that of Gov.
Cleveland, the honest and honorable
gentleman, welded to duty and guiding
hia sctions by Its high standard, is very
effective. Senator Bayard's speech will
do great good because 1t is the clear and
aud earnest utteranoe Of an honest man
end a patriot.

Jeremiah McAuley, well-known New
York missionary, died OF consumption
Thursday, aged 45 years. He opened
Cremorne Mission on January 10th, 1888,
and performed heroic work In reolaiming
deprsved women. His whole aim in life
for the last few years had been to i'm.
prove their condition. He started a
newspaper called "Jerry McAuley's
Paper which has large cirou-
lation all over the world, and
the proceeds Of its sale he intended to
use in establishing "Home for Fallen
Women" He was persuasive speaker,
and few could resist his touching appeals
to lead better life. "Jerry" MoAuley
came to New York from Ireland when he
was ID years old. His father had been q
counterteiter, and the son promised for
many years to follow in his footsteps. He
became river thief, prize fighter, and
everything but a murderer. He was
finally arrested tor highway robbery
and sent to Sing Sing for
10 years. In prison he became
converted through the efforts OF
Awful" Gardner, reformed convict.
Jerry was pardoned after serving one
half Of his term, and on his return to
New York he opened, in November, 1872,
at No. 3l6 Water street, place which
he called tThe Helping Hand for Men,"
The Meighborhond was one Of the lowest,
squalidest aud r1ughest in New York.
But for many years Jerry preached the
gospel every night in his humble institu-
ton. The good he did was inoalculable.
Gradually, as the morals OF the neighbor-
hood improved, Jerry looked around him
for other places of sin and degradation
where he could do good.

purports to be letter from Jay Gould to
Morosini to the following effect: az

trouble and as friend and adviser
trust you will accept this in the spirit Of
good will, and not consider II unnsces-
sarily obtrusive. Instead Of grievinQ
over what cannot now be remedied,
it might be we'll to take
the whole matter In philo-
sophie way. Could see your
daughter Victoria q few words might
have some salutsry effect upon hsr.
However, would suggest that you start
the young man (Huelsksmp) in some
light business oongenisl to his tastes,

him they will soon develop themselves.
such step might be the means Of rem
dering the young couple happy and

Cricket ITO Yanra Arn.


The English Illustrated Magazine for
September says: AS every one knows, the
third stump was added about 1775, be-
cause it was observed that the straig htest
balls went between the wickets without
removing the bale. This, people may
say, would at once have occurred to the
fesblest capacity. But mark the converse
tion of the human mind, and the march
of evolution. There was originally no
middle stump, because the batter, when
regaiuipg his ground after run, placed
his bat in the hole between the
stumps, itself a survival from
cat and dog. The hole was
filled up, and q crease (cut at
first. not marked in whitewash, as at
presently was substituted, to prevent the
bat from coming down on the hands of
the wicket -kesper, as he put down the
wicket by placing the ball In the hole.
Yet, though men had got rid Of the hole,
they did not at once add 3 third stick,
cns.om and u.e were too strong for them,
aud We see the old unfair two stumps in
both tie designs before us. Indeed they
appear a. la.e as 1898, In picture OF q
match between Lord Winohilsea aud
Lord Darpley for 81, 900 q side. Mark
also the hight Of the wickets. Their low
ness, like the shape Of the contemporary
bat, testiiiss to the habit of bowling
grubs, A modern ball would rise
high over these wiokets, which
could only bO Knocked down
by shooter or Yorker, or perhaps q
half volley. Next observe the disposi-
tons OF the field. There is man ont in
the long field on, mid on, and square
leg far ont. There Ia a wicket keeper,
long stop, point, third man, long hit of,
mid of, and cover point. Apparently
hard, straight driving on the of eide
was not expected. This bowler h Ids the
bali to his sys, like the immortal tIupd-
Ter OF bingley Dell. The game, In spite
of odd wiokets, odd bats, and low under.
hand deliveries, required 8 disposition OF
the field not unlike that to which we are
accustomed. The long stop, OF course,
would now be superfreus among good
players.
