The Elkton and West Nottingham
Base Ball Clubs played match game on
Saturday afternoon last on the lot back
of the Jail. The game was brought to a
close during the eighth inning by disa-
greement over decision of the umpire.

fence the batter could only take one
base. During the eighth inning of the
Elkton club the ball was lost in the long
grass or bushes and the batter made a
home run. The West Nottingham club
were of the opinion that only one base
should be taken on the hit. The umpire
decided differently, allowing the Elkton
club the run. The game was then sus-
pended. The score was as follows:

PLEASANT HILL, May 30th, 1888.
Mr. Editor:-I wish to say few words to
the people OF this community concerning a
statement that was in id-weekiy paper
last week stating that | kept my store open
on Sundays for the purpose of selling Ice
cream, cigars, and &c. This is not correct,
but was merely got up to hurt my trade,
and if that person would look around his
own door before attending to other peoples
business, it would be more to his credit.
People that attend to their own business
thoroughly don't have much time for med
ding with other peoples. The Scripture
says ''Judge not that ye be not judged. -
What blessing it would be to this COM
munity if that rule was strictly observed,
not by the sinner alone but saint included.
You will notice by travelling this world over
that people that do wrong themselves judge
others likewise. NJ. q. SCARBOROUGH.

coNylvIAL KING KALAKAU.


In the suit Of King Kalakau VS.. G. w
MacFsrlane, now in progress at Homo.
lulu, it was shown that "wet goods" l.
e., whisky, brandy, spirits and gin
valued at above Sl0.000-were con.
sumed at the royal palace in the short
period Of three months by the conviv-
ial sable monarch and his boon com.
panions.
: A not surprising feature developed in
the suit is the fact that during Rollin Nj.
Daggett's sojourn at Honolulu, as U. s,
Minister to the Hawaiian Islands, nearly
double that amount Of wet goods" were
consumed by the court in nightly carous-
ais at the royal palace.
Gin appears to be the favorite tippie OF
his dusky majesty, the schedule exhib.
tied in court disclosing that nine.tenths
of the booze consumed by his royal nibs
was "Old Tom," ''Palm Tree and
other brands of that fiery fuid-the prin-
cipal ingredient of which is camphene.
The sable Kings fondness for gin
proves bis identity with the African race,
with whom that species of alcoholic
stimulant is favorite.
Her nobs, Kalakau's late royal consort
as we'll as his obese, greasy sister whe
also died recently, are said to have
fell victims to the plebeian complaint ot
whisky liver, " produced by consum
ing an inordinate quantity OF alcohliC

A Chip OF the Ola BIoek.

Senator Evarts is filed with pride
over the triumphant debut Of his son
sherman at the bar OF the Supreme
Court OF the United States. Young
Mr.. Evarts prepared the briefs and led
the arguments AZ counsel for appel
lants, with his father, in a celebrated
VIII case. The case was argued by
the best counsel on the other side.
The case as presented by Mr.. Evarts,
The younger, sustained by Mr.. Evarts,
The elder, was so conclusive and clear
That the Court rendered a unanimous
decision in favor OF the appellants.
This was an almost unprecedented
Thing in Supreme Court litigation.
The young attorney in every sense ac-
Quilted himself in a manner which in
dIeated that the legal acumen and elo-
qnence. OF the father had been trans
mltted to the son.-Albany Journal.

ter from n DrcadfaI Fate.
The following remarkable story
from Memphis is among the Examin-
er's special telegrams:
Two weeks ago Mrs. ID. Webb, pro-
prietress OF a grocery store on Beale
street, received telegram to the effect
that her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sarah
Robinson, living in Henderson county,
was dead.
Mrs. Webb dispatched her son TO
bring the body home in order to look
once more upon her face.
When the coffin arrived it was
opened, and while looking at the body,
Mrs. Webb was Mortified to see the
eyes slowly open and gaze into hers.
Mrs. Webb was for a time COM
pletely spell-bound and unable to stir
limb.
In few minutes the occupant OF
the coffin commenced gradually TO
rise. The mother fell back in chair
near by looking around in dazed,
wild way.
The girl family asked:
Nhere am /!
The mother screamed, and every
body in the house rushed in. On be-
holding the supposed dead woman
sitting upright in the coffin they fled
in terror.
After u while the young man who
had conveyed the body home re-
( turned, lifted his sister out of the
4 coffin and put her in bed, where grad
ually she came back to the possession
Of her full powers.
Last Tuesday the young woman
whose malady was consumption, ap
parently ceased TO breathe again
The physicians pronounced her dead
The shroud was placed about her, and
the coffin, which had been laid away
was brought forth once more.
While the mother was taking hel
second farewell, she heard very fain
whisper, Mother, don't cry" ant
looking at the face OF the supposed
corpse saw the same look she ha'
seen ten days before.
This time she began to immediatel,
use every effort to revive her child
and succeeded in bringing back 10 tn,
heart some fitful pulsations.
In answer TO her calls for assistance
several ladies came in, and seeing tn
supposed corpse sitting up in tn
collin began TO shake her. Layin
hands on the girl, they violently shoe
the last life spark out OF her.
The body was kept out OF til
ground till last Saturday, when tn
mother reluctantly allowed the funera
TO take place.
