RICHMOND, VA. October ~
Mr.. L B Vaughan (of the firm OF

AZ q more confirmed in our opinion of the
meanness % the new crop: the first new
leaf Tobacco / have seen, came from
King William county, Virginia. and was
sold today at Crenshsw's warehouse by
our firm vaughan 4 Sarvayl Messrs I.
c. Williams Il Co., being the purchaser,
and had the usual characteristics OF King
WillisE county tobacco.
A member Of the firm Of " T Smith 4
Co, SAYS the market is strong and there
is vast deal of private trading going on.
Another prominent merchant says
there Is more disposition on the part OF
inland traders 10 take hold on specula
ton and resale. but there Is good bona
6do buying as il evidenced by the presence
on our market OF large manufacturer
from North Carolina, who 1t is said IS
buying cutters very freely. We heard
Of the sale Of betweertifty and one hun
dred packages being mAde TO another
party TO day at satisfactory prices.
Mr.. II. B. Taliaferro. OF II. b. Italia
ferro & Co.. says people of standing and
ciedibiliiy from Powhatan and other
counties from which we get tobacco all
agree that the crop was very much dam
sged-irst, by the excessive rains in the
earlier part OF the season. and. secondly,
by frost and cutting green. and tobacco
is bound 10 be thin and very little OF II.
A good and reliable man told me that
while a large crop was planted that there
will not be fourth Of crop, but there
would be a heap OF trash and frosted to-
bacco. Some neighborhoOfs escaped
better than others, but al best the crop
is very poor From fourth 10 third
was cut green or is frosted and will be
very mean.
More is being done at auction now.

BOOMING BASE BALL.
An Effort to Revive the National Game
in the South.

An Effort to Revive the National Game
in the South.
The Sporting South Of New Orleans has
thrown itself in the breach and undertakes
tc put in motion at least a movement to re-
organize the southern league for the season
OF 1889. In its issue of Sept. Is is tho fol
lowing announcement:
1.-THE Sporting South invites representa-
tive base ball men from Charleston, Savan-
nah, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Memphis,
Nashville, Birmingham, MOBILE, New Or
leans, Galveston, Houston, San Antonio,
Dallas, Austin and Forth Worth, and such
other cities as may desire to attend, TO meet
in New Orleans Said representatives to
consider the question Of the formation of
professional base ball league in the south,
to include such cities as may, in the wisdom
of those participating, be deemed desirable.
All details of organization to be there de-
termined upon, ana the campaign for the
ensuing season star ed without delay.
1--WE urge responsible base ball men to act
upon our Invitation Immediately and notify
the Sporting South of their intentions.
The losses of the southern leagues Of the
past have averaged about $4,000 per club
for each season OF six months upon a salary
limit of from s., 800 to $1,000. Upon the
limit indicated by Mr.. Hearn of, say, 81 $50
there would be reduction of at least 81 900
a month, which even though no other evils
which have attended base ball in the South
were corrected, would result in the saving
of the $1,000 a month, or $4,000 in the
season, which has been the loss heretofore
incurred. But the many other abuses which
have led to failure may easily be corrected
at this meeting"

Child AMI Snake.

A Palatka, Fla, letter to the st Louis
Democrat, says: George Boxer lives
on the Heights, suburb of this place,
and his house is well surrounded by
orange trees. Yesterday morning one
of the children WAS heard to scream
loudly in the grove, and Il big house
dog. hearing the noise, flew to the
childs relief. The mother heard the
child's cries but ut first supposed the
little one was playing; but rs the child
did not return soon, she became alarm
el and ran out among the trees. Com
ing upon her little one. about 200 yards
from the house, she almost tainted ut
the sight before her. On slight hill
lock lay her child, while coilcd on ITS
breast, with head erect and tongue out,
was huge RATHER. Its ominous rattle
sounded loud and warming, while its
eyes shot forth sparks of fire as 1t slow
" turned its head around in circle

The snake seemed to have fairly fasci-
mated tho dog. The canine walked
around and around the reptile slowly
coming nearer, but all the while growl-
ing as if he knew what danger WIS
near.
Brave Mrs. Boxer, seeing the life OF
her child at stake, picked up pine knot
and hurled it at the RATHER, with rare
good luck striking it on the head and
knocking it away several feet. Rushing
forward she picked mp the child and ran
to the house. Her husband came up at
that moment and soon dispatched the
reptile, which measured eight feet long
and was rs large around us an average
mans arm ut the shoulder, and sported
sixteen rattles and a button. The dog
barked loudly when the serpent was
knocked over, but dill not offer to bite
it, though generally furious at the sight
| of one. For over an hour the dog con
tinued its walk around the knoll till i
| fell from exhaustion and was taken tt
the house and given spirits. The dog
was not struck, but seemed charme'
and has not yet recovered. The chill
was not bitten either, but has been sicl

A Joke on Cabby.

Did you ever try to play on cabman
that old joke of .'tlie lost sovereign"
It's lots of fun. A friend of mine tried
it last summer in London, and succeed
ed, too, in spite of the rather chestnutty
flavor of this practical joke. He took a
"growler" -four wheel cab after mid
night at Piccadilly circus to go to his
lodgings out in Bayswater. Remember
ing the stalcness of the "lost sovereign
dodge, he thought it would hardly ego
down" with a bright and cunning Lon
don cabby, but resolved to try just for
the fun of it. Just as they came in
front of public house few doors from
his home the STARE" stuck his head out
the window and ordered the driver to
halt.
81 say, cabby, I've dropped a SOY. in
the straw on the bottom of the coach.
Just pull mp at that pub till l run in
and get match so that 1 can find the
coin."
"All right, sir, said the cabby, and
pulled up opposite tho door OF the tav'
ern.
Ny friend alighted and had taker
scarcely three steps in the direction o.
the ''pub" when 10! Mr.. Cabby whipped
up his horses and flew away into thu
foggy night, carrying with him (as hi

for young Josef has been before the
public only little more than a year.
His mother is singer and was i'll the
regular corps of the Cracow Opera
House company; but she is not thor
ough trained musician, as his father is.
The boys genius was observed when he
WIS about four and half years old,
since which time his father has been
his only teacher. The lad is not spec
tally devoted to music, his parents say,
and he seems to show equal interest in
tops, shotguns and target practice.
His room at the Windsor Hotel is lit
tered with toys and games. He does
not sing or whistle. From the first he
was averse to the methodical practice
required of piano pupil. bat now he
takes to it more kindly. although, to the
surprise of all musicians, he does not
devote much more than two hours a
day to it. Beethoven aud Bach are ms
favorite composers. His own compo

them he has himself named Lies Lar

The sunfish couldn't get away, and the
bass couldn't open its mouth wide
enough to eject it.
