New York $500, with the privilege of fifty
per cent. OF the gross receipts for n game

place by a sufficient per cent, and did not
wish 70 take any chance.
The Philadelphia club has
done more to decide the pehnant winner
than any other club, and while il came
near running Qhicago's chances, il finally
decided il in its favor. Boston holds the
same position it did last year, but by a
much better record. st Louis finishes
sixth, jumping from last place, and the
new club finish just rs they were expected

When the train stopped a m gave
her husband a terrific tug and said: John
wake up. here's our town." John jumped
up in a dazed manner aud yelled so LOUD
that he could be heard all over the car:
For heavens sake, Marier, don't hit me,
I'll get you the saque." John
around and realized where he was, but
then looked utterly forsaken. Marier
looked daggers at poor John. We would
have been willing to bet q Texas farm
that John had a lot of fun that night.
We will close this agony now. The
proprietor of the hotel is sound asleep in
his chair and we have a favorable
opportunity of arranging our board
bill, and leaving without dis
turbing him from his much
needed rest. We know a fellow who woke
a hotel clerk to pay him his bill, and the
clerk dropped dead with heart disease.
We always remembered that and as long as
we are filled with that noble and humane
feeling for others we will not risk killing
a hotel proprietor by merely waking him
on account of a trivial little bill. The
gentlemanly proprietor is showing signs

THE ASSOCIATION STANDING.

The Close of the S~eason-The Allcghenys
Take Second Place-The Full Record.
The Association championship season
for 1856 is ended, and st. Louis, rs has
been apparent for several months, again
takes first place. Allegheny, by good hard
playing, keeps second place by a better
increase OvR Brooklyn than was expected
a week ago. Although st. Louis has Il
decreased percentage over that of last sea
son, considering the strength of
its rivals with those of 1856, the showing
of the Browns is much better. The Ath-
letics made a strong fight to depOse Gin
innati from fifth place, but was not sue
cessful. st. Louis won six of her series,
the Louisvilles taking the honor of being
the club that got the best of the champi-
ons. The A~llegheneys also won six of her
series, the losing one going to st. Louis;
Brooklyn won five of her series and lost
two; Louisville won three, lost three and
has one tie; Cincinnati wins two, loses
three and has two ties; the Athletics win
three, lose three and has one tie: the Nets
win one, losing the balance, while the
BaltimOres drop all theirs.

It's a subject of common remark that the male Dor.

taste in the style of their garments within the last two
years. Their Clothing seems to fit better; the materials
look richer and more durable; there S a finish and per.

confined to the better dressers of the largest cities. and
this holds good with the great majority of the men and

One of the closest men we ever heard of
we found down in southwest Ohio. lie is
worth about $4,000. His wife died last
week. The morning of her death his
friends consoled him by saying: You
have lost 4 good wife John
"YeS | have, a better wife never drew
breath-but do you know who sells collins
cheapest"
Don't worry about that, some OF the
friends will get that"
II would rather attend to that, Sarah
would like it best | know if she were
alive, and then its hard times and its no
use being proud after we're dead
Before his wife had been dead one hour
he jumped on his horse, rode to town,
and after m abSense of three hours his
friends grew uneasy and thought his grief
had led him to commit suicide. They
found him in an undertakers shop. He
had the undertaken cornered and had been
talking to him for two hours trying to get
him to throw oil q halfa dollar on n SIC
coffin. His friends were incensed at this
and his wilc's brother bought her the
most elegant coffin that could be found,
and that sOn-of-a-gun tried to steal the
silver handles from it.

Cleyeland's occupancy of the executive
chair he has signed more bills of private
pensions than did Geenral Grant during
his entire term of office. Indiana, from an
unbiased opinion, can be safely counted
in for 10000 Democratic majority this
fall.
We listened to a miserable speech about
4 week ago in which the orator said {:
Where can you find schools to surpass
those of Indiana? They are better, and
the scholars more advanced than in any

her charitable institutions, her peniten-

we have in our asylums more idiots and
