preclated. A GAZETTE reporter saw
Colonel Smith last night and asked him
II he would consent to make the race for
the Office. Colonel Smith replied that in
no event would he be candidate,
.hat he had entirely too much
to attend to and must pay attention to
his private business. He was plain and
emphatic in his statements, and means
wnat he says. There will be hundreds
who will regret this decision, but they
will recognize that it would not be right
to ask him to make the sacrifice.

Implements Of the National Game.

The national game of baseball has
taken so deep hold upon the youth of
this generation asserts the New York
Tribune. that to keep pace with the de-
mand for balls and bats big factories
have sprung up in many localities, and
hundreds of working men and women
gain livelihood turning the bats over
their lathes ~ sewing the covers by
hand over the inner core of the sphere,
which is now made by machinery. Bats
are shipped to this city by the carload
from Michigan and West Virginia, and
it is estimated that 90, 900 cords of ash
and willow wood were thus used last
winter for this summers trade. The
bulk of the bats are used by amateur
players, of course.
Willow is the favorite material for the
popular bat, asjts lightness is combined
with sufficient amount of strenth for
youthful players, and West Virginia
turns out the best grade of this variety.
The superior toughness of ash makes it
indispensable for the great strain which a
professional player subjects it to. and
| Michigan's forests furnish an inexhausti-
Die supply of this tough wood. The
manufacture of balls demands more care
The better class of balls, those of regu.
lation size AMI weight, as prescribed by
the professional rules, are covered with
horse hide, stretched with double linen
thread, well waxed and smoothed by
machinery. The inner core is of rubber
carefully wound about with yarn by
hand until the correct size is obtained.
The practice ball, or boys ball, is cov-
cred with sheepskin, and is more cheaply
and roughly made. The core is usually
composesDof leather scraps, which are
pressed into spherical shape by ma
chinery and have no more yarn wound
around them than is necessary to hold
the scrap bgether until the cover is put
on. II 4esign of cover now in uni
versal use differs widely from the old
''starn pattern. 1t consists OF two strips
of leather cut something like the figure
eight, or even like the heelless sole of a
baby's shoe. These, when laid over the
sphere, exactly cover it and are more
easily sewn together than any other pat
tern, and if the man who invented it
had only patented his idea he might
have been reaping a fortune for his
pains.

to overflow.
Something came clattering along the
hall, and the door was pushed open to
admit beautiful boy of four, drawing
a tin horse after him.
ooh, you darling exclaimed Dolly,
rapturously.
But the boy drew back little, say
ing "Wbere's Bridgetp
And in q minute the nurse pounced
upon him and dragged him off, calling
him "a little torment, and bad, naughty
boy"
Mattie's first bread, rashly undertaken
with Bridget's home made yeast, was an
utter failure. and the baby clung obsti-
nately to Johanna in spite Of Dolly's
Establishments, while Mrs. Lattimer,
knowing nothing of housekeeping her
self, had not particle Of patience with
Ignorance in others, and clung to her
deep persuasion that nothing but the
most vigorous putting down could ever
keep those girls from disagreeable as
sumption. But long before the end of
the month Dolly reigned sweet and sc.
rene in the nursery, wore her nurses
cap without an uncomfortable thought,
and drank in delight from the shaded
park, with its flowers and birds and
fountains, as unconscious of bitter servi-
tude as the children she loved and
guarded
"As for Matte" Mrs. Lattimer con-
fessed to her brother, "shes invaluable,
and shall never be able to endure an
ordinary servant again, but il she hadn't
known her mind better than did mine
we would have parted the very first
week. That's one blessed thing your
old journal has done for the labor ques-
tion, and if my ship ever comes in I'll
endow the paper out of gratitude"
"Ah, always felt that was born to
be benefactor," said the editor.
"Your ship would have come in long
ago if you had called me for pilot"
"And which one did he marryl" asks
the saucy girl at my elbow.
Neither Of them, my dear. Pretty
Dolly, in the course of time, went back
to bingham and married farmers boy,
who had worked his way through col
lege, and was not ashamed of his wife
for having made her way in the same
fashion; and Matte, for aught know,
is a middle-aged and respectable old
maid, living on her savings, and edu-
eating heather in Africa. For this story
has nothing to do with marrying or
giving in marriage, but with the fact
that a good many ships that are Con-
tinually at sea might come prospcrously
in, if they would join comany with each
other, without regarding the fact that
one might be merchant vessel, and the
other simply lugger.- Congregation
