BAD UMPIRING DEFEATS THE

League Gsmes-W ednesday's Deferred
Game to be Played To-Day.
The i've hundred people that went out
to the ball grounds yesterday saw
closely contested game up to the eighth
inning, when Umpire Burns, by an out
rageous decision, gave the visitors a
chance to score. and they counted the
only run that was made. The game
was badly umpired from the start.
1t was evident after the first inn
ing that it was Burns day for strikes.
1t mattered little whether the ball went
over the plate or not, or whether it was
high or low, the batsman got "strike."
O'Day was in the box for the home team,
with Gillen behind the bat. The visitors
put up Miller and Daniels. Miller was
more effective than he was in Mondays
game, and struck out thirteen of the home
batsmen. Collins was the only man that
got IN hit. ODay struck out eight men,
ana was hit for four bases.
Neither side scored until the eighth in.
ming, when Daniels led OF with a sale hit
to centre field. One strike was called on
Cess. O'Day sent in a twirler. Cess
struck, the bail fOuled and quick as fash
GIilen had it, Geiss stepped out OF the
box and started back to the players
bench. "Strike" called Burns, but before
the words were out OF his mouth the ball
was in the first baseman's hands and two
men were out.
Burns held to his decision and gave
Daniels second and Geiss another strike.
The next man at the bat hit a long fly TO
left field. 1t was good for one base, but
Sutclifie let it pass and the runner went
to second and Daniels scored. The de-
cIslon was one OF the most g!aring that
has been made on the grounds, and vir-
tuaIly gave the visitors the game. The
following is the score:

Tho Capture of the Ship "a. b.
Thompson as War Prize.
Near WalPs Cut, few miles below Sa-
vannah, lie the bones Of large clipper
ship. 1t is an out-ot-the-way place to
look tor such a wreck. The oak timbers
and teak planks are the remains of the
ship A. B. Thompson, prize captured by
the Republic OF South Carolina. The yes
sci bad been on long vov age and was re-
turning from the Pacific ocean. Her
Captain was ignorant OF the condition Of
affairs at home. HIS orders, which were
several months old, instructed him to call
at Savannah Tor a cargo, and he sailed
into port and cast anchor at Venus
Point.
Manning his long boat he pulled up to
the city and proceeded to the custom
house with his papers. There he learned
that Georgia had Just seeded. 1t was IN
the latter part Of January, 1861, and
this was not n safe port for him. He lost
no time in getting back TO his vessel and
at once put out TO sea. AS the ship stood
off the nOrth'ard, with the stars and
stripes flying At the gan, she was dis
covered by the South Carolina troops then
engaged in certifying the entrance to Port
ROYAL, and the eunboat JEFF Davis, an old
whoat which had been transformed into
"A war ship by the South Carolinians, put
to sea and brought the ship into Port
Royal as a prize. The officers OF the
Thompson consisted OF Capt. James
Hussey, First Mate simmons,
a second mate. whose name
is not now remembered, with a crew of
thirty-odd men, representing almost as

command Of Capt. Clarence Kirk, rep

wealthy planters families on the coast,
aud whose ancestors had, lake him. been

charge OF the prize. For eight months
most Of the officers and crew were kept
prisoners on board OF their ship.
A dozen OF the men, Scandinayians
and Greeks, enlisted in the South Carolina
navy, and the second mate, an Irishman,

afterwards Gen. Stephen Elliott, and
served CALAMITY at Fort Sumter and then
in other fields, and finally surrendered at
Greensboro, N. G. The vessel remained
at anchor only for short time after her
crew was sent off to prison. Lieut.. Pelot,
who afterwards lost his life in capturing
the United States guuboat W alter Witch,
took charge OF her, and under orders used
her to obstruct the navigation of Wallis

TRAVELLING DINING ROOMS.
How Some Baltimoreans Get Good
Dinners.

Restaurant keepers and eating house
owners are not at all pleased with the out
door traffic now SO profitably carried on
by enterprising foot pedlers, says the Bal
timore American. AS long as these yen-
ders confined their sales to fruits, cOntec-
tions and light drinks, like mead, pop,
etc, there was no objection; but now that
they have included in their wares the
more solid eatables and drlnkables, the
kick has become very decided.
At first the storekeepers made light Of
the pedlers and reflected on their cleanli-
ness, aud this was not without it's effect;
but gradually the outdoor sellers have
succeeded in convincing the people that
they use as much care in the preparation
OF food as do those who serve it over an
eating house bar. Within the past year
the street sales have increased largely,
and the income of those Interested has
not been inconsiderable. The profits,
owing to the light expense incurred. have
in consequence been sufficiently great to
afford these people a first rate living.
This innovation does not affect the
frst-class restaurants as much as
1t does those patrOniZed by the less
wealthy. but even these suffer some
what. On Saturdays the street men do
thriving business. On this day, which
10 LnS UdSiS6b vi Lu6 wees many EGIAll
merchants who are unable to leave their
stores, even for short time, are only too
glad TO avail themselves OF a restaurant
on wheels. This is an ordinary wagon,
fitted up Ike a kitchen. The restaura-
teur has charge in person. He provides
himself with all the delicacies Of the sea
son before leaving home, and such dishes
as are served cold are prepared before he
starts on his rounds. In the wagon is
stove OF an improved pattern, in which
eatables are cooked at short notice. All
kinds of fowl, meats, pastry and fruits
are included in stock, TO be had either
warm or cold as the customer may de-
sire. Everything about this portable
cuisine is neat and clean, nor could any
objection be had because OF the manner
in which the food is served. Not only are
stores supplied, but lawyers Offices and
barber shops as well. Chicken cold or
chicken warm, beefsteak, yeal-in fact,
anything in the shape of meat-can be
had for the asking. The great advantage
derived from this mode Of delivery is that
no time is lost, and at the same time the
food is so much cheaper. There are about
three or four of these travelling dining
rooms now going the rounds, but it is only
a matter of time when the number will

scrtbed conditions.
Liquids and oils not exceeding four
ounces, liquid measure, pastes, salves, or
articles easily Equitable, must conform
to the following conditions: When in
glass bottles or phiais, such bottles or
phlals must be strong enough to stand
the shock Of handling in the mails. and
must be inciosed in a wooden or papier-
mache block or tube not less than three
sixteenths Of an inch thick in the thinnest
part, strong enough to support the weight
or mails piled in bags, and resist rough

oest0s or some other absorbent sufficient
70 protect the glass from shock in ham
ding; the block or tube to be closed by a
tightly ftting screw lid of wood or metal,
with rubber or other pad 80 adjusted as

When enclosed IN tin cylinder, metal
case or tube it should have a screw lid,
with rubber or cork cushion inside, and

Drawn AND BRAIN.
What a WorkinSman Has to Say
About the Prejudice Against Law


About the Prejudice Against Law
yers.
Editor Morning NclCS: l would lie to
say word in answer to your correspon-
dent "Yorick" The wOrkingman's preju-
dice against lawyers is not against them
when exercising the legitimate duties OF
their profession but when they attempt
TO monopolize all the Offices of any con-
sequence within the reach OF all Ameri-
can citizens Of any calling whatsoever.
We also decline to admit that it IS all
| "brawn" on the wOrkiDgman's side or all
"brain" on the other, or that the lawyer
class is any better fitted for the function
OF making laws than the other classes of
! the community, viz: the commercial and
the labOring class. The lawyer as rule
is man of speech, "Fox ct pretera nihil,"
seldom a man Of action. Witness the
long sessions and the little work actually
done by our present legislators, mainly
lawyers. A little "brawn'' would be an
| improvement. A man all head would be
! a useless article, and the workingman's
"brawn" had far more to do with
! making this country what il
is than the lawyers ''brains."
Drawn" ia very useful to do the fighting
in war times, while "brains' snap up the
soft billets and generally have brains
enough TO keep out Of harms way. And
let me tell "Yorick" thai the days for
"brains" illegal brains) as ar Exclusive
factor in the politics of our state and
county have gone by, and "brawn" would
have bad a better bearing than it did at
the Theatre the other night had there not
been one among the twelve who was a
devil" If it were necessary to say any
thing TO ''I bricks" hint that only lawyer
can frame or understand when framed an
act of Congress, / have only to point to
the British House of Commons, where
lawyers, soldiers, farmers, railroad con-
tractors Zone Of whom | know rose from
the wheelbarroW), sEipbuilders, bankers
and dry goods men, in fact nearly every
calling is represented, and l suppose, in
some way or other, England manages
both to frame and to understand her acts
OF Parliament.
To use "Yorick's" smile, there is a
pound of flesh" due the workingman,
and he intends to have it, even if to take
it means placing "brawn" forever above
"brains," and as to prejudice against
lawyers it is an old one, for it was said
eighteen hundred and eighty-six years
ago, "WOE UNTO YE LAWYERS"

Editor Morning NeloS: Permit me to
reply to communication in the NEWS Of
yesterday with the above caption and
signed "Yorick." "Yorick" is humorous
and satirical writer, evidently lawyer,
and as such / VIII address him. He wants
to know the cause of the sudden prejudice
OF WOrklngmen against lawyers, which
seems to be uncalled for, "as they have
advanced no charges or specifications.
| will essay to enlighten him on the sub
ject.
1t is not against lawyers engaged in
their legitimate calling that they are pref
udiced, but against lawyers in legislation,
hence the fat: 1.-THE legislating LAWYER
must CO." He must admit that lawyers
have monOpoliZed every political Office
worth having until they came to believe
t1at they had divine right to be the per-
petual legislators of the country. Still
the people humored and sustained them
in that idea, until driven to rebel against
them for selt-preservatIon. Their preju-
dice 10 grave and deep founded, for they
charge lawyers, who were al
most exclusively the law makers,
orators and politicians of the country.

greatest calamities that have befallen 1t in
fifty years. They fomented the warlike
5ibdelOh tudb pEOuBuJ On bDC ldL6 war.
Many OF them, it Is true, fought and fell
therein; but look at the evils of lawyer
legislation in Congress for twenty years,
for few but lawyers have ever been sent
there Senator Evarts remarked in dis
cussion in the Senate few days ago, that
out of the seventy-sX Senators In the
Senate sixtv-fiye were lawyers. What
servilityl What an admission of imbe-
cility for free American citizens, to think
none but lawyers have sufficient brains
to go to Congressl
But so says orick." He says Drawn is
good enough for workingmen. They must
be content with the positions to which
God has assigned them, to be drawers of
water and hewers of wood. They must
have no higher aspirations. Ne Sutor ultra
crepjd0m. But for lawyers, theirs be
the honor, education, intelligence, with
the emoluments of the country thrown in.
Alas! poor ''Yorck," | too once thought
so, but excuse me. my dear sir, if to-day [
presume to differ with you.
