A. J. Davis, Esq, Of Stockton, was
interviewing a good many of our
citizens last Saturday on the question
of the state authorship. Mr. Davis is
a splendid man. His address wins
friends wherever he goes. Our
Republican brethren treated him
nicely in regard to supporting him.
they very generally, we believe,
advanced to him the idea which the
World has advocated: That they
would regard it as blow at the
Republican party in this state for Mr..
Howe to be renominatcd for state
treasurer, and Mr.. McCabe defeated
for auditor, but with this objection
removed it wonld be a pleasure to
support Mr.. Davis. Putting the case
at the worst for Mr. Davis, we have no
doubt that he is Trego county's sec
ond choice.-Wa-Keeney World.

Srcak a good word for your town
and country whenever an opportunity
presents itself. More towns die for
want Of confidence on the part of
business men and lack OF public

neighboring towns or adverse sur

a home or business location goes to a
town and finds everything brim full of

Lion and Man.

Bidell is, without doubt, far
more successful wild-beast tanner
than Van Amburg or any of the
tanners Of bygone times, and is an
object Of general sympathy on ac-
count of his fearful adventure the
other night with his old lion Sultan.
When this beast was brought to
Paris, fourteen years ago, the first
thing he did was to kill a man.
Bidell has never for moment been
ignorant Of the beasts temper. Two
years ago met the famous tanner
at Trouville and had many oppor-
tunities Of conversing with him.
He is a short man, considerably be-
low medium height and of Hercu-
lean build. Ishould say he is the
very strongest man l ever saw. He
is dark in features, with black curly
hair, rather of the Spanish than the
French type. He makes no pre-
tense to rule his animals by kind
ness. He relies on sheer fear, in
spired by his presence to reduce
them to submission. His eyes ar e
the most distinguishing feature
about him. 1t is upon the effects
ofthcse, he told me, that he chiefly
depends. His look when excited
can hardly be described without the
use of apparently absurd adjectives,
so startling is it. He is man abb
solutely without the sense of fear of
wild animals. Armed with a sharp
prong only, he will walk straight in
to a cage of full-grown leopards, IT,
gers or lions, fresh in captivity, chas-
ing them all round for five minutes.
A few days afterwards he will pass
his head through their smoking
jaws. Sultan was the most difficult
beast he ever met. Frequently the
animal would make a savage rush
at him if their eyes separated for an
instant only, and would be stopped
by the tanners imperious GOODNESS
and left tearing the air with his fur
ious paws a few inches from the
masters nose. The other night
when Bidell turned his back for q
moment, the lion sprang upon him
rolled him over and began tearing
him with his claws, when, putting
forth all his strength, Bidell manag
ed to hurl him off and to escape by
the door, wounded, however, in nc
fewer than seventeen places. Bleed
ing as he was, he desired to contin
ne the performance but was not al
lowed to do so.

A new judge charging the jury
said Gentlemen of the jury, charg-
ing a jury is new business to me,
as this is my first case. You have
heard all the evidence as well as my
self; you have also heard what the
learned counsel have said. If you
believe what the counsel for the
plaintiff has told you your verdict
will be for the plaintiff, but if on
the other hand, you believe what
the defendants counsel has told you,
then you will give a verdict for the
defendant. But if you are like me
and don't believe what either of
them have said, then I'll be - if
/ know what you will do. Consta-
bic, take charge of the jury.

Points on Pitching.



VARIOUS STYLES OF DELIVERY ADOPT
I'D ny PROMINENT BASEBALL MEN.
According to Hccker there are six
distinct styles Of delivery outside of
strategy. They are the straight dc
livery, out-curve, in-curve, high in
curve, rising bali, and drop ball. The
strategic part, however, further di-
vides these six classes into many
different shoots. A straight ball can
be thrown, for instance, in several
ways so as to deceive the batsman.
This is done by ranging the speed
from a swift to slow or medium
ball, or by deceptive move of the
arm. Then, again, either of the vari-
Gus curves can likewise be guaged
from a short quick to a long stride,
or a slow or swift curve, either being
resorted to as means of dcceiving
the batsman.
An in-curve is not generally sue
cessful unless the ball is delivered
swiftly with the necessary twist. A
slow in curve (Which is very decep-
tive, so far as the writer's observa-
tons have extended), is really only
successfully worked by few pitch
ers, of whom Matthews and Foster
of last years Philadelphias are
worthy of mention. The curves and
shoots vary considerable with the
various pitchers. Daley, Of the
Philadelphias ; WEIGH, of the New
Yorks; Radbourne, Henderson Cal
vim, Porter and Caruthers, have a
very short sharp curve, while Fergu-
son, Mccormick, Foutz, Matthews,
Hecker, Baldwin, Morris and several
others give their curvesa wild range.
The difference is that the former
comes straight at the plate and then
curves over it. In both cases the
batter is liable to be deceived. OF
course the above-named pitchers use
all the various curves, only they re-
sort mostly to the one in which they
are classified.
The drop ball is, for some reason
or other, more successful when adopt
ed left-handed pitchers. Shaw, Ram
sey, Casey, Baldwin, Morris and
Smith are notable examples of left
handed pitchers who have remarka-
bic drop-ball deliveries. Ramsey
probably has the greatest drop to his
delivery of any of the pitchers of
the present day, and, as result, is
hard to hit. The next to him is Buff
fington, who, however, is right-hand-
ed. The next best to Burlington OF
the right-handed pitchers on the
drop ball is probably Matthews. Out
side of these two the left-handed
men, all rank ahead Of their right
handed colleagues with this partic-
ular delivery. The drop ball varies
Just as much as the other deliveries
in point of range, and is mentioned
here to show how vastly different
one pitchers delivery is from that o
another, and how large a field tho
ambitious young man who aspire'
to become a pitcher has before him

A dog was accidently present dur
ing divine service in Scotch kirk,
where the worthy minister was in
the habit of speaking very loud in
the sermon, and, in fact, when he
got warmed with his subject, he
shouted almost at the top of his
voice The dog, who in the early
part had been very quiet, became
quite excited, as is not uncommon
with some dogs when hearinga noise;
and from whining and whining, as
the speakers voice rose loud and
strong, at last began to bark and
howl. The minister, naturally much
annoyed at the interruption, called
upon the bcadle to put out the dog;
and he at once expressed his readi-
ness to obey the order, but cot Id not
resist the temptation to look up to
the pulpit, and to say, very signif-
cantly, "Ay, ay, Sir; but indeed it
was yourself began it,"
