GALVESTON.

GALVESTON, September 18.-An ex-
hibition game of base ball was played
this evening at Beach park by
Dallas and Fort Worth clubs, which
was closely contested. The Dallas
club scored l in the first inning, and
to the finish of the game, ten innings
being played, failed to increase their
account. The Fort Worth nine got
in one run in the third inning, and
added one more in the tenth. The
game was then called, when Fort
Worth had two men out. The last
inning of Dallas was marked by glar-
ing errors, the winning run being
made by Crawford, who got his fist
on the error of Clark, by a wild throw
to the first base on Crawford's third
strike, and came in, winning the game
on low throw of Clark to Mulally,
at the third. Fort Worth's battery
was Silch, with Black as back stop.
Dallas had CarotherS. Murphy was
disabled in the first inning, and Clark.
from the left field, was substituted.
Score by innings-Dallas, 100000
5000. Total. Fort Worth-0 OIL
O-0-0-00-0-1. Total-2.
Errors-Dallas, z: Fort Worth, 6.
Base hits-Nallas, 3; Fort Worth.

The Dizziness of Great Men

DeScartes, the famous mathemati-
clan and philosopher; La Fontaine,
celebrate for his witty fables; Button,
the great naturalist, were all sIngu-
larly deficient in the powers of con-
versation. Marmontel, the novelist,
was so dull in society that his friend
said of him, after an interview, 81
must go and read his tales, to recon-
pense myself for the WEAKNESS of
hearing him." AS to CorneilIe, the
greatest dramatist in France, he was
completely lost in society; so absent
and embarrassed, that he wrote of
himself a witty couplet, importing
that he never was intelligent only
through the mouth of another. Wit
ly different from the play of words in
conversation, which while it sparkles,
dies; for Charles IL, tie wittiest
monarch that ever sat on the English
throne, was so charmed with the hu-
NOR of "Hudibras," that he caused
himself to be introduced in the char
acter of private gentleman to But
Ter, Its auther. The witty king found
the author a very dull companion,
and was of the opinion, with many
others, that so stupid fellow could
never have written so clever a book.
Addison, whose classic elegance has
long been considered the model of
style, was shy and absent in society,
preserving, even before single
stranger, stiff and dignifed silence.
In conversation, Dante was taciturn
and sairical. Gray or Alfera seldom
talked or smiled. Rosseau was re-
marbably trite in conversation; not
a word of fancy or eloquence warmed
him. Milton was unsocial, and even
irritable when pressed to talk by
others.

Distance to the Sun.

AS to the distance of 100000
miles, cannon ball would travel it in
about fifteen years. 1t may help US
to remember that at the speed attain
ed by the limited express on our rail-
roads train which had left The sun
for the earth when the Mayflower
sailed from Delthaven with the Pill
grim fathers, and which ran at that
rate day and night, would in 1884 still
be journey of some years away from
its terrestrial station. The fare at the
customary rates, it may be remarked,
would be rather over 81, $4,000, so
that it is clear that we should need
both money and leisure for the jour-
ney.
Perhaps the most striking lillustra-
| ton Of the suns distance is given by
expressing it in terms of what the
physiologists would call the nerve
transmission. 1t has been found that
sensation is not absolutely instanta
neous, but that it occupies very
minute time in travelling along the
nerves; so that if child puts its fin
ger in the candle there is certain al
most inconceivably small space Of
time, say the one-hundredth of sec
ond, before he feels the heat. In case
I then. a child's arm were long enough
to touch the sun, it can be calculated
from this unknown rate of transmits
sion that the infant would have hvet
to be a man over one hundred year
old before it knew that its finger

SCANDAL.
UNKNOWN AUTHOR.

"a woman to the Holy Father went,
CONCESSION OF sin was her intent;
ANA so her miSdemeanOrs, great and small,
she faithfully rehearsed them ALL
And chiefeSt In her catalogue Of sin,
she owned that she a tale-bearer had been,
ana oOIne bit OF scandal up and down
10 all the long-tongued gOSSips of the town.
The Holy Father for her other sin
Granted the absOlutiOn asked of him;
But While Tor all the rest he pardon gave
He told her this offenSe was very grave
and that to do tit ponance she must go
out by he wa! side where the thistles grow,
And gathering the largest, rIpest one,
Scatter It's seeds, and when this was done,
she must come back again another day
10 tell him his commands she did obey.
Inc woman, thinking this penace light
FASTENED to do His will that very night,
Feellng right glad she had escaped so well.
Next day but one she went the Priest to tell;
Inc Priest sat still and heard her story
through,
Then said, There's something still for you to
do;
Those thistle seeds which you have sown,
BID you go and gather every one"
Inc woman said, But, Father. 'twould be vain
The winds have scattered them both far and
wide
Over the meadowed vale and mountain side. u
The father answered, snow hope that from
this
The lesson / have taught you will not miss;
GU cannot gather back the scattered seeds
Which far and wide will grow to noxious
weeds,
Nor can thy mischief once by scandal sown
BY any penace be again undone."
