Paying the Traitor.

Men use treachery and despise the
traitor. Their moral sense revOlts
against the means which their craving
for success persuades them to use. The
fact shows that faith in the moralist's
maxim, Nothing is expedient which is
dishoncrable, is not strong enough to
remove this moral contradiction. And
40 the world, which makes success a
duty, VIII continue to pay and despise
the traitor
The late Count dc Chambord's birth
occurred after the assassination of his
father, tine Duke de Berri. in 1920. His
mother, n woman of great courage and
force of characteristic offered to lead
the royal troops against the revolu.
tionists OF 1s3 plotted to seat him on
the French throne, as the only legiti-
mate Bourbon. q
In 1852 she landed near MarseflIes
and appealed to the French Legitim;sts
TO rise against Louis Philippe, The APP
peal fell upon deaf ears, and the Ouch
ess was obliged to hide herself. One of
her suite, named Dcutz, agreed to sell
to the Government for fifty thousand
francs the secret of her hfding-place.
The betrayed Duchess was arrested and
imprisoned.
To NJ. Older. the Secretary of tie
Minister of the Interior. was assigned
the disagreeable duty of paying the
traitor. At the appointed hour, Didier
called his son into the Office, and said:
Look well now at what passes, aud
never forget it. You VIII learn what
scoundrel is. and the method of paying
him"
The Secretary spoke to messenger,
and Deutz. the traitor, was brought in.
NJ. Didier stood behiul his desk, on
which were placed two packages. each
containing twenty-five thousand francs
As Deutz approached the desk, the Sec
retary made q sign TO him to stop.
Then, with pair of tongs, he picked up
the packages, and dropping them into
the open hands of the traitor. pointed

SALTWATER, July 12.-To-day's was the
finest game that has been played here. 1t
required twelve innings to decide who had
the victory. Errors were few and almost
unavoidable. The fielding on both sides
was sharp. When a man could be put out
the opportunity was not lost. In most OF
the innings they went out in one, two, three
order. In the sixth inning the home team
made one run, and the visitors mrae one In
the seventh and one in the twelfth. No two
clubs could be more evenly matched than
those that played to-day. The batteries were
strong, Quinn and Dealy being for the
home team and Foutz and Robinson for the
visitors. Fowler did some excellent play
ing, and his throw from right field to third
base was telling one. Rapidly of throw
ing was marked feature, and all did well,
but the GOODNESS Of Quinn, in the most ex-
citing moments, was very noticeable. The
three-base hits of VisDer, Dealy and Foutz
did not profit them, as the play was too
sharp. The attendance Was not large, but
those who were present were highly de-
lighted, and witnessed the best game of the
season. 1t was contest between the pitch
ers. Peters must have bee n pleased with
the way his men worked together, and even
Noonan, who has been on the base ball field
to play only once or twice this season,
showed the material of which he was made.
By holding the ball little too long he allowed
the last score to be made, thus giving the
visitors the game. The following is the
score:

After the Battle.

CHICAGO, July 12.-There were very few
remaining evidences this forenoon of the
Democratic convention. The delegates very
generally have taken their departure. The
club and headquarters banners have been
furled, aud hotel corridors have resumed
their won,ed appearance. On the streets are
to be seen a more than usual number Of
white hats, number of which are surInount-
ed by small feathered BOOSTERS, the wearing
of which has become sort of rage among
the Democracy. Members of the national
committee and other officers of the party
who are still in the city express
confidence as TO the strength
of the ticket. The delegates generally ex-
press great satisfaction for the treatment re-
cieved at the hands of the local committee in
providing for their comfort Now that the
great convention has come and gone, it is
due to the officers and committee of ar
judgements that the press should acknowl-
edge their obligations. The remodeling OF
the hall made an admirable audience room,
and the facilities granted for making, print
ing and telegrsphiug the extensive reports
were ample. Special thanks are due to Judge
VIM. c. Cloudy, in the preliminary arrange
ment of the details, and Hon Austin n.
Brown aud Col. Richard J. Bright, the eff
cieut sergeant-at-arms, for the intelligent aid
rendered, and just appreciation ofthe require
ments Of the press.
