THE EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK.
New YORK, September 29.-The result
Of the New York Chicago game was
awaited here today with great interest.
Nearly all the newspaper offices posted
bulletins showing the result of the contest
by innings and large and interested crowds
surrounded the boards. About the Tribune
office the gathering was so great as to i'm
pede passage through Spruce and Mas au
streets. The Gro gds awaiting news in Print

In hotel corridors men talked of the con-
test tonight, and through the day the news
was eagerly sought at public resorts. The
defeat OF New York causes gloom among
those interested in the game, and many
have given up all hope of the giants win
ming the pennant. There is yet posi-
bility of New York winning, but this is
regarded here as weak straw to catch at.

Some natures are so sour and un-
grateful that they are never TO be

Customs are even stronger than
laws, and yet the most of them are
observed 10 defiance of common sense

It is q masterpiece TO draw good
out of evil, and by the help of virtue
to improve misfortunes into blessings.

Tit for Tat.

An old lady of his flock once called
up9n DR.. Gill with grievance. The
doctors neck bands were too long for
her ideas of ministerial humanity,
and after long harangue on the sin
of pride, she intimated that she had
brought pair of scissors with her,
and would be pleased if her dear pas
tor would permit her to cut them
down to her notions of propriety.
The doctor not only listened patient
", but handed over the offending
bands to be operated upon. When
she had cut them to her satisfaction
and returned the bibs, it was the doc
tors turn.
Now" said he. "You must do me
good turn also"

During a camp meeting in Saline

the poor wretch who eats harmless
missionary instead of eating hurtful
bulk pork. When the preacher had
concluded, an old exi otter arose and
said:
"Brethern, I've been nightly IN

something about him."
Then addressing the minister who
had just taken his seat, the exhorter
said:

Zereba.

The zarebs is native light barricade
constructed in the form of q square, and,
by the Arabs, made OF mimoso brush,
piled with the prickly branches outward,
and built bigh enough to make the offer
to overleap them impracticable. The
sharp, Jagged branches present forbid

who have no taste for fiineing their
naked bodies against them. The great
tactics of the Arabs lie TO- attack BY
s'rushing," In the hope TO overwbelm.
by the very impetus Of the assault, the
waiting enemy. As means OF check
ing this "rush" the zerebs has been
found very effective, and the English
