THE GIANTS HOME.
Seven Thousand GOtham1Ges Extend
 Their ConeratuIRfiona.

' Their Congratulations.
 NEW YORK, July 23-Seven thousand | aothamites were at the Polo grounds this 1 afternoon to welcome home the Giants. Every member of the home team was ap- l plauded as he stepped to the plate, but Keefe 1 and Ewing received the lions share. The New York tWirler gave fine exhibition, -four teen bean eaters being retired on strikes,
 while but two hits, those by Wise and Kelly,
 went to the outfield. Browns hit was a scratch. Clsrkson and Kelly were in the points for Boston and did splendidly. The New Works earned their two only runs in the first inning on Ewing's rattling single to cen ter and Wards drive over the right field picket fence for four bases. The Giants got but two singles after that inning and not one of them reached second base. Two of the Bostons reached the second bag with one man out in the fourth and sixth innings. In the fourth inning Hornung struck out and with two strikes on Morrin Ewing by light ming throw caught Wise mapping at first In the sixth inning Kelly was left on second, as the two succeeding batters, Johnston and Nash, struck out. Whitney's catch of Kelly's foul fly and the sprint Wise's fielding and Wards batting were the other features of the game. There was considerable kicking against Daniels umpiring on both sides.

She Wanted to Fail.

"Please, sir, | would like to fail"
The speaker was a woman who had
entered Sussex county lawyers
Office. A few moments conversation
showed that she and her husband had
several thousand dollars over their
liabilities, and that the Failure" was
simply the woman's scheme to cheat
a few creditors. She went to another
lawyer, and in few weeks the ':fail-
ure" was announced and, and it ap-
peared that the husbands father
was the principal creditor. AS a
matter of fact, the money had come
from the father, but it had been a
free gift, though in order to make the
failure appear all right the man and
wife had confessed Judgment to the
father for the amount given. The
failure was d complete success; but
just as it was being closed out the
father died, without q will. His
property was equally divided among
his heirs, but thejudgments confessed
in the FRAUDULENT failure stood against
the parties, and, though they pro-
tested and scolded, nothing could be
done. They had to pay the judg-
ment, and the failure was q genuine
one after all.-Newark Sunday Call.

"heartless little fiirt." Seeing
Walters face suddenly grow radiant
with hope and delight as he uttered
the above exclamation, he turned to
discover the cause. There stood his
sister, still wearing the tumbled lace
dress, with disheveled curls and red
eyes, it is true. but with an express
sion on her face, as she held out her
hand to Walter, that as Jeremy
afterward said, told the whole
story"
Monsieur De Trop could not repress
d long low whistle of amazement as
he walked off with the violets still in
his hand. So it was blue, after all.
He carried the violets into the
kitchen, again astonishing Carl and
tnga, who both rose to receive him.
"More flowers toput in water"
"Yess."
"And more happy couples, " Jeremy
said to himself as he went out the
back door and took refuge in the
shrubbery, where for an hour he
smoked and moralized on LIES
| chances.
Next morning his sister did not ap-
pear at breakfast, but he found her
shortly after in the kitchen, where
she had gone to secure the violets.
Those unfortunate blossoms had
been thrust heads down into a pail
of water. The roses had received
the same treatment, but they were
left to her fate, and the owner ran
away from Jeremy's congratula
tions. The latter rescued the JAG
ques, and a day later they fell tc
pieces on his mantel; but the violets
were boarded as Louis dearest pos
session long after scent and color
had passed away.

R. Reid Harding went cunning for
reed birds one day along the
Patapsco, and when he got near the
Annapolis Short Line railroad
bridge struck big game. He sighted
reed bird on a clump of reeds and
let fly at it load of mixed shot,
among which was a liberal allowance
of No. As. Robert T. Liddell, ST.,
was on the other side of that clump
ofreeds, in a STOPPING position, being
in the act of tying his shoe, and he
arose suddenly with large and
well-developed yellimmediately after
having absorbed the load of shot
with his right side from heel to neck,
while the reed bird Topped it's pinions
and scared heaven-ward. Mr..
Liddell went to his home, No. "a

divided his time between locating
shot for his physician to pick out
and harshly criticising the man
who will gun for reed birds with No.

What z umpled Ter Cellar and Smashed
Her Bonnet,

On one of the seats of a railw ay
train was married lady with little
daughter; opposite, facing them, was
another child, a son, and a colored
''lady" with a baby. The mother OF
these children was beautiful matron,
with sparkling eyes, in exuberant
health and vivacious spirits. Near
her sat a young lieutenant, dressed
to kill, and seeking a victim. He
scraped up an acquaintance with the
mother by attentions to the children.
1t was not long before he was essay
ing to make himself very agreeable
to her, and by the time the sun be-
gan to decline one would have
thought they We're old familiar friends.
The lieutenant felt that he had made
an impression-his elation manifested
it. The lady, dreaming of no wrong,
suspecting no evil, was apparently
well pleased with her casual acquaint-
and. By and by the train APP
preached tunnel. The gay lieute-
nant leaned over and whispered
something in the lady's ear. 1t was
noticed that she appeared to be
thunderstruck, and her eyes imme-
diately famed with indignation. A
moment more and a smile lighted up
her features. What changes? The
smile was not one of pleasure, but
was sinister. 1t was unperceived by
the lieutenant. She made him a re-
ply which rejoiced him very much.
For the understanding properly Of
this narrative we must tell the reader
what was whispered and what was
replied.
II mean to kiss you when we get
into the tunnel whispered the lieu
tenant
''Not if 1 can help it," replied the
lady.
Into the tunnel the train ran
while the lady and colored nurse
quickly exchanged seats. The gay
lieutenant Immediately threw his
arms around the lady sable, pressed
her cheek to his, and fast and furious
rained kisses on her lips. In few
moments the train came out into
broad daylight.
White lady looked amazed-coloret
lady, bashful, blushing-gay lieuten
ant befogged.
Jane said the white lady, "wha
have you been doing?"
Nothing, replied the colored lady
eyes, you have" said the whit
lady, not in an undertone, but in I
voice that attracted the attention O
all in the carriage. See how you
collar is rumpled and your bonnie
smashed.
Jane, poor colored beauty, hung he
head for a moment, the observed o
all observers, and then, turning
round to the lieutenant, replied
"This man kissed me in the tunnel.
Loud and long was the laugh tina
followed among the passengers. TIL
white lady enjoyed thejoke amazing
ly. Lieutenant looked like sheep
stealing dog, left the carriage at tn
next station and was seen no more

Exercising Care In Drinking.
Sanitary Inspector.

SANITARY inspector.
An exchange notices as wise pre-
caution the act of a Philadelphia
physician, who, while riding in a
railroad car, gave one of his children
a drink of water by spreading a
clean handkerchief over the top of
the glass to prevent the contract OF
the child's lips with the tumbler.
A still better expedient with the
same object in view has often been
resorted to by the writer, and his chill
dren have been instructed to practice
the same precaution when obliged to
drink from mug or tumbler on the
cars, steamboats, or public drinking
fountains. 1t consists in bringing
the lower edge of the drinking cup
beneath the lower lip, instead of let
ting it come in contact with the
mucous membrane of the mouth.
Teach the children to stick their
whole bill into the cup when they
take drink under such circum-
stances, for it avoids a real and con-
siderable danger of Infection from
certain contagious diseases.

The Punster at the Point OF Death.

From the New I Ork home journal.
A story is told of a man who
suffered severly from ague, which
neither medicine nor charms could
alleviate, but being advised to devote
himself to punning became SO in
terested in the pursuit that he speedily
laughed himself into robust health.
1t can not be denied that a hearty
laugh, even at the cost of a bad pun,
is no mean thing in itself, and has
often been known to be ofinestimable
service at the crisis of a serious
malady. A physician visiting one
of the brotherhood, who was in
extremis, apologized for being late
one day, but said he had been to
see a man who had fallen down a well.
Did he kick the bucket, doctor?"
groanedthepunster Again, the story
is told, if we remember rightly, OF
Theodore Hook, who, as he lay
dying, encased in mustard poultices,
was visited by a friend, to whom he
Remarked: Plenty of mustard, my
boy, but very little beef"

The Love Of Bull.Fighting.
From the London Telegraph.

e rOm Tie LOnuOu leltBTuph.
Cervantes, in his immortal romance,
literally and definitely laughed
SPANS chivalry away" and his
mordant irony effectually and ire
vocably shattered such faith as had
grown up in the apocryphal legends
of Bernardo del Carpio, Amadis de
Gaul, Palmerin of England, and the
giant Inorganic, and the rest
of the tee1ning and preposterous
progeny of the old Spanish chroni-
clers. In fact, the chivalry to which
he dealt the death stroke was more
than three parts dead before he
smote it. There were assuredly
nothing chivalrous in the wonderful
American exploits Of Cortez and
Pizarrp. Those sublime filibusters
fought and conquered in Mexico and
Peru, not for the sake of the smiles
of the queen of beauty, but for the
sake of plumber and dominion; nor
was there anything that was chival-
rous. although there was great
deal that was superstitiously besot-
ted, in the long and devasting wars
of Charles V. and Phillip Ii.
The illustrious author of don
Quixote," however, laughed away
neither the bull ring nor the "auto-
de-fe." His ridicule, trenchant as it
was lacked the power to abrogate
such enormities, simply for thereason
that the inflated sentl-
ment which passed for chivalry
was only a transient fashion,
whereas the love of witnessing and
beholding the spectacle of pain is a
quality deeply and hereditary in
grained in the Spanish character. A
revolution was necessary in the PEN
insula-not only the inquisition had
to be abolished, but the monastic
orders Observation-Disclosures the revolving
cruelties of the "Quemadero" could
be rooted out; but bull-fghting has
survived the stake and the ''sanbeni-
to-" not only because the brutal
sports OF the Plaza de Toros are de-
lighted in by the great mass OF the
people, but for the reason that there
is no class in the Spanish community
influential enough to bring about a
surcease in these ferocious entertain
ments. The ''matadores" have a
great many things more important
to think about than any particular
pair of velvety eyes or vermilion lips
among the audience. They are aware
that the amateurs of tauromachy-
and their name is legion-have
double object in coming to the hor
rible show. They will be moderately
gratified if the ''matador" kills the
bull; but they will be estatically over
loved if the bull kills the ''matador.'
Thus the latter literally fights witt
his life in his hand. Alone he must
face the bull. He may not advance
on the brute; it must attack him
ard TO meet it's fearful onslaught HI
has only his single napier. Such il
the real bull-fghter, man wh'
must be endowed with almost pre-
natural qualities of courage, skill
and presence of mind. all exercised Il
the most disgracefully unworthy @
causes. AS for the courses de taul
