Why a Baseball Curves.

Lovers of baseball may find it con.
venient to keep in mind this explanation
of the pitchers curve from Mr.. r. A.
Proctor If the bal is advancing with
out spin, or is spinning on an axis lying
along its course, the cushion of com.
pressed air carried forward by it is conf
cal-or rather cOnoidal-and therefore
resists the progress of the ball equally on
all sides, affecting only the velocity. But
in the case Of the curve, where the bali
is spinning on an axis square to its
course, the air in front of the advancing
side of the spinning surface cannot es
cape so readily as if there were no spin
and escapes more readily on the Other
side. Hence the resisting cushion of ain
is thrown toward that side of the bap
where the spin is forward and removed
from the other side, and the ball is de
flected from the region of greatest re
sistance.

AN OLD SWEETHEART OF MINE


AS one who cons at evening DER an album all
alone,
And muses. on the faces of the friends that he
has known;
SO / turn the leaves of fancy till in shadowy
design
find the smiling features Of an old sweet
heart of mine.
The lamplight seems to glimmer with flicker
Of surprise
As turn it low TO rest me of the dazzle in
my eyes,
that seems TO yoke
Its fate with my tobacco, and to vanish in the
smoke.
'Tis fragrant retrospection, for the loving
thoughts that start,
Into being are like perfumes from the bios
SONS of the heart
And to dream the old dreams over is a luxury
divine,
When my truant fancy wanders with that
old sweetheart Of mine.
Though l hear, beneath my study, like a
fluttering of wings,
The voices of my children and the mother as
she sings,
l feel no twinge of conscience to deny me any
theme
When care has cast her anchor in the harbor
of a dream.
In fact, to speak in earnest, believe it adds
n charm
To spice the good trine with little dust of
harm;
For / find an extra flavor in memorys mel
low vine
That makes me drink the deeper to that old
sweetheart of mine.
A face Of lily beauty and a form of airy
Floats out of my tobacco as the genius from
the vases
And thrill beneath the glances of pair Of
azure eyes
As glowing as the summer and as tender as
the skies.
l can see the pink sun-bonnet and the little
checkered dress
She wore when first | kissed her. and she
answered the, caress
With the written declaration that, "as surely
as the vine
Grew round the stump, she loved me,n that
old sweetheart of mine.
And again l feel the pressure OF her slender
little hand
As we used to talk together of the future we
had planned
When | should be poet, and with nothing
e'se to do
But to write the tender verses that she set
the music to.
When we should live together in cosy
little cot
Hid in a nest of roses, with u tiny garden
spot,
Where the vines were ever fruitful and the
weather ever fine.
And the birds were ever singing for that old
sweetheart of mine.
When l should be her lover forever aud a
day,
And she my faithful sweetheart till the
golden hair was gray;
And we should be so happy that when either's
lips were dumb
They should not smile in heaven till the
others kiss had come.
But, ah, my dream is broken by step upon
the stair,
And the door is softly opened, aud my wife
is standing there;
Yet with eagerness and rapture all my visions
resign
To meet the living presence of that old
sweetheart of mine.

The Chicago Herald remarks that
"Pennsylvania is said to have been the
first State to break over the old and
well established custom of hanging
murderers only on Friday. Many other
States, Illinois included, now depart
from it. There was never any good
reason for itanyway, and as there are few
States that not need hanging every
day in the wen, it is well to do away
with it altogether"

HOSPITAL NOTES.
Robert Hilton Is Either Crazy, a Fool,
or "A villain

or a villain
An elderly man by the name OF John
O'Meera, who was discharged from the
County Hospital yesterday morning, was
taken back to that institution last evening.
He says ne was knocked off the trestle into
the tules by train OF cars between this
city and Davisville. His vertebrse is frac-
tured, which may result in paralysis.
Lyons, the individual who was found in
q lodging-ho ON ] street some weeks
since with the smallpox, and whose case
had been concealed for several DAYS by a
friend whose name is Robert Hilton, is still
in the pest-house. He is nearly well of the
smallpox, bat is suffering severely with
rheumatism. Hilton is a very dangerous
man, and should be imprisoned on general
principles. He knew Lyons was afflicted
with the smallpox, and waited upon him,
and then mingled with the people upon the
street, made nelghborly calls without chang
ing his clothes, and Is known in one IN
stance 10 have taken little child upon his
lap, and while trOtting the babe upon bis
knee told It's mother that he was taking
care OF small pox patient. The frightened
mother grabbed the infant from his arms,
drov him from her house, informed the
Objects Oh what ne SAID, ana they upon H.
vestigation found his statement to be true.
He deceived the Health Officer for two DAYS
by concealing The patient. He was put i'll the
ambulance with the patient Lyons and
taken TO the pest-house, where he prom
ised 10 remain. The same evening, how
ever, he again put in an appearance in the
town OF Washington. The indignant peo-
pie of that burgh locked him up in gran
AIRY for couple of weeks, when he was
again given his liberty.
DR.. White, Superintendent of the County
Hospital, says Hilton has made two or
three attempts to get to the pest, house dur
ing the past few days, but has been re-
pulsed each time. The last time he called
he left note for Lyons saying that he
would call again Wednesday. DIR. White
does not know what TO do in the matter.
He says the police should watch him-if
necessary arrest him and keep him in
| prison-so that he cannot reach the pest
| house. Hilton is a dangerous man to be at
large, and is either crazy, fool or villain
If he is not taken care of by the authorities
he may yet succeed in disseminating the
dread disease in this CITY,

G. D. Stoy, an old resident of Folsom, and
an elderly man, was yesterday lodged IN
the County Jail on a charge of assault to
murder sworn to by David Finch, a super
intendent of one OF the Natoma Company's
vineyards. The facts of the case, as told to
a reporter by Frank Esterbrook, the attor-
ney for Mr.. Finch are these On Wednes-
day last as Finch was driving into town his
team suddenly swung out on the road
having scented man hiding in the thick
chaparral at the roadside. Almost at the
same instant there was a rife shot from the
brush, and Mr.. Finch found that the bull
let had come uncomfortably close to the
marx, having just grazed one of his ears,
Dir. Esterbrook did not say which. At the
sound of the shot the team started to run
away, but were stopped after going about
$50 yards. Mr. Finch then left his team
standing unhitched in the road and went
back on foot to the place from which the
shot was fred. When he was almost there
he noticed man carrying rifle scamper-
ing hastily away. He gave chase,
but was unable TO capiure the
would-be ambassador. When he
reached town he swore out q warrant
for the arrest of Stoy and he was immedi-
ately taken into custody and lodged in the
County Jail. He will be examined before
Justice of the Peace to-day. YESTERDAY
afternoon RECORD UNION reporter inter
viewed the prisoner. He denied all knowl-
edge of the affair and says he can prove
that he was in Folsom at the time OF the
alleged attempted assassination. Hestated
also that he had worked for Finch and de-
MED positively that he had ever threatened
to kill Finch Or Schussler. Hestated further
that the whole affair was a deep laid
scheme to place him out of the way in the
States Prison. They once had me in an
insane asylum in Nevada" said Mr.. Stoy.
and they kept me nearly sixteen months
in the Stockton Asylum and l was as sane
rs any man. l have fine prospect near
Colfax and one across the mountains, that
they are after, but they shall not have
them"

TWO CASES OF wRoNG-DoING.

The news of yesterday contained two
items that shock the sensibilities and pre-
sent human nature in light, not new, but
always revolving. A father and mother in
San Francisco sold their 15-year-old
daughter to a man OF "a, on his repre-
sentation that he was rich and would
handsomely provide for the parents. He
was coarse, repulsive Chilean, vulgar
drunken and dlsreputable, and so soon as
he was married to the girl-a handsome
and innocent German child-he began to
disclose his real character. He was worth
less in pocket and in morals, had one di-
vorced wife and twelve children, and had
been guilty of a crime towards third
woman. The child wife, after five months
of misery, took poison on Sunday, and in a
few hous was dead. Her parents, accord
ing to the published reports, are more con-
cerned about the deceit that was practiced
upon them by the Chilean regarding his
alleged wealth than moved by grief over
the loss of their daughter, who appears to
have been a child in whom parents would
be supposed to take the greatest pride, and
over whom they would exercise the most
tender guardianship. No sort of SYM
pathy is due them. If their hearts could
be wrung with bitterer anguish it would be
deserved; ii it were possible to lawfully
punish them by physical pain and suffer
ing, it ought to be inflicted. Their action
was very little less than inhuman. They
have other daughters, as yet mere children,
and may be expected to bond them in like
manner to lives of misery for the sake of
promised gold, if their action towards the
one referred to is to be taken as an example
of their sense of parental obligations 1t
would be asking more than the law grants
to solicit the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty TO Children to interfere aud re-
move from such parents the opportunity to
sell their children, but it would be in line
with the dictates of humanity.
The other case is that Of young society

THE committees of teachers in charge of
the preparatory arrangements for the re-
ception of the National Convention of
Teachers at San Francisco in July, are
very hard at work. 1t would seem that
their energy has been such that very little
now remains TO be done by them in the
matter of planning. But great deal is
yet to be done by others. The teachers of
the State should begin at once to prepare
themselves for the proposed exhibition of
work, and friends of the movement should
do all they can to interest our people in
the matter Of entertaining. There are to
be several thousand visitors of the hest
character of citizenship, men and women
of cultivated powers of observation, and
as they will visit nearly all the principal
productive sections of the State, it is i'm
portant that they be well received and
Hospitality entertained. We must do this.
because they come to us by invitation in
the first place, and because of the report
which we wish them to make of the coun-
try on their return to their homes. In
short, this visitation by the teachers OF
the United States is of the highest i'm
portance to California, and will do more to
advertise the State than is generally sup
posed. For this reason, if for no other,
1t IS essential that the public of Califor-
mia should be thoroughly awakened to the
Importance of the Convention, and the
need for giving the committees all the
moral and material aid they need.
