A Dandy Game of Baseball by Two
Home Teams.

There was affair gathering Of specta-

anticipate any thing like the intensely
exciting and brilliant game that re-
suited, there would have hardly been

The three first innings were as fne as
any ever witnessed on the Square. Each
side got a man as far as third several
times but the fine fielding and good bat.

as a force ball ensued and Kelly Gold

strikes, however, and q succession OF
wild throws and runs ensued, Larson
running in on Burt's wild throw, and
putting the score 3 TO . or odd innings
The salt Lakes seventh was 8 goose

more run, mainly through Mclean and
W. Watson's errors. Lloyd's double
error let il one run in the salt La kes
eighth, raising The score to 3. The

The Memberships.


They had a modest little house with
a pretty garden on the outskirts of Ber-
lin, where good deal Of hospitality
went on in a quiet, friendly way. The
ornaments Of their dwelling were, per-
haps, little disproportionate in size
and quantity to the rest of the sur
roundiDgs; but this was no matter Of
choice on the part Of the newly-married
couple, since one Of the minor vexations
imposed on Jews at this date was the
obligation laid on every bridegroom to
treat himself to large quantity of
china for the good of the mandatory.
The tastes or the wants Of the pur.
chaser were not consulted; aud in this
especial instance twenty life.sized china
apes were allotted to the bridegroom.
We may imagine poor Mendelssohn
and his wife eying these apes often,
somewhat as Cinderella looked at her
pumpkin when longing for the fairy's
transforming wand. Possibilities of
those big balloons changed into big
books may have tantalized Mendels-
sohn; while Fromet's more prosaic
mind may have confined itself to china
and yet have found an unlimited range
for wishing. However, the unchanged
and unchaDging apes Notwithstanding,
Mendelssohn and his wife enjoyed near
ly five years Of quiet and contented hap
piness. Then, "before her time, she
died." leaving him two sons and two
daughters, to whom for the rest of his
life he fulfilled the duties of double pa.
renthood.

memories of a pleasant past; but
neither Of these ladies enjoys the liter
ary distinction earned by genius and
hard work by Queen Elizabeth, of Rou-
mania.
This most admirable woman is a
writer Of stories and poetry, the " Car
men sylvia" Of contemporary litera-
ture. Her latest published work is a
volume of stories issued by firm in
Paris. It's narratives are pure, poetic,
tender, and Christian, both delightful
and highly profitable to their many
readers, who are profuse in expressing
admiration for them.
The gifted and sweet woman whose
laurels may prove unfading, while her
crown Of sovereignty must one day be
laid down, was born December %,
lS43, the Princess Elizabeth Won
NeuwIed. Wied, of which Neuwied is
the principal town, was then princi-
pality. 1t has since been mediatlzed
and attached to Prussia, being now a
part of what is known as Rherish
Prussia.
The Princess was married on Novem-
Der Is, 1869, when about twenty-six
years of age, to the Lord Of Roumania,
who was proclaimed King on March 20,
1881. She has no children, and it was
settled by Article SO Of the COnstitu-
ton that in the event of the King re-
naming childless the succession to the
throne of Roumania should vest in his
elder brother, Prince Leopold of HOhen-
zollern-Sigmaringen, who renowned his
rights in favor Of his son, Prince Ferdi-
nand.
In their affection the ROumapian peo-
pie speak of Queen Elizabeth as their
mother, their queen, and their poet-the
triple-crowned woman. She is an angel
of mercy to the poor and the sick.

a Painful Situation,
detroit Free Press


At a landing below Baton Rouge
about thirty colored people came aboard
the boat. Among them was a likely
young woman with whom one OF the
colored roustabouts at once fell in love.
We all noticed them making eyes at
each other during the afternoon, and
finally gentleman from Illinois said
81 don't see any reason why they
shouldn't marry"
But have we clergyman aboard :"
queried another.
A third gentleman replied that We
bad, and he went off and hunted up
man wearing spectacles and a choker
and informed him that his services
would soon be required. The man
from Illinois went down to the colored
woman and asked If she thought the
roustabout would make a good hus-
band, and she replied in the affirmative.
lie went over to the man, and he owned
up that he was dead gone. The couple
were at once brought upstairs to the
cabin, and all the passengers collected.
We Clipped in 81 apiece, the clergy
man gave his service gratis, and the
marriage ceremony went on in good
style. After everybody had got through
congratulating the happy couple some
one inquired Of the groom what he was
going TO do.
DAFT what doan' 'zactly know"
he replied as he stood with uncovered
head.
"You have money enough to go to
housekeeping in New Orleans"
" Yes, but de ole woman would hunt
me out down dar."
"Old woman? Your mother 2"
"No, sab my wife . l'ze got a
wife an TO- chill'en in Vicksburg."
At this the bride uttered a yell, the
clergyman sank into the nearest chair,
and the silence became profound and
painful. We had gone and married a
married man to young woman.
"'Twant my fault" said the groom,
as he jingled our collection in his
pocket.
81 didn't know muffin bout it,"
added the bride as she walked out Of
the cabin.
The preacher said nothing could be
done, but the captain took the groom
by the ear and remarked:
"JOhn Henry, you can keep the
money, but you let that woman alone.
If | find you speaking to her III break
your back. Move along, now"
And that was a Mississippi-river
marriage and divorce.
