How Ferguson Fooled Thorn.

Capt Irwin tells an amusing storJ
of the English Gentlemen Cricket team
in attempting to bat the curves Of
Pitcher Ferguson The crieketers were
in Philadefphia. and the day before
they wers to play match with one OF
the local teams, accepted an invitation
from manager Wright to 90 out and
see the Phillies aud Chicagos cross
bats. 1t turned out to be one of those
battles OF pitchers. where runs were
few.
Manager Wright was seated in the
stand, explaining the points of the ma
tionRl game to the visitors. and as one
player after another struck ont or
failed to get the ball outside of the dia-
mond, the Englishmen grew jubilant
and boastful. declaring that they could
fairly murder that style of delivery.
Finally Manager Wright asked them
how they would like to try their skill
against curve pitching. He agreed to
have two Of his twirlers on the grounds
before the cricket match started, and
to give them trial. The gentlemen
were delighted with the proposition, in
timating that they would wipe up the
ground with the victims.
The next day the veteran took Fer
guson and Casey into his confidence,
and the three went to the cricket
grounds. To use Twins language:
1.-THE Englishmen selected their crack |
batter, and after the fifty feet had been
measured off Ferguson faced the bat
ter. Well, sir, the Englishman smashed
away at the first ball, and l will take
an oath he did not come within five
feet of it, He kept on pounding the
air, and finally l said to Ferguson:
'Fergy. give him a curve You know
what a curve he could put in when he
wanted to. Well. the ball came sailing
in, and the Englishman stopped and
made reach. Just as he did so the
ball shot over the back of his neck like
q rifle bullet He dropped as if he had
been shot, and when he arose he threw
up both hands with the remark, That's
enough for me- They could not touch
the delivery of either Casey or Fergy,
and were the most astonished lot
of people ever saw. After that Fer
guson showed one of their bowlers how
to get the curve on, and by practice he
got 80 he could use it very we'll at 20
feet. Almost any one can learn to
curve ball at that distance. That is
one reason why | object to the idea of
putting the pitcher back to IS feet. If
they do that, mark my word, it will
curve pitchers, and you will
get enough of that kind of delivery. /
had rather see the pitchers moved UP
70 within 40 feet of the home plate.

Women ON Horseback,

1t is suggested that American women
who ride should no longer follow the
English fashion of sitting on the left
side OF the horse. There the custom of
turning to the left on the road places
the lady away from the wheels Of any
vehicle she may meet. But here COM
mon sense dictates that women sit ON
the right. They have good precedent.
The Princess OF Wales, for special
reasons. always does. and the Empress
of Austrian sits either way.

Farmers Debts.
American Agriculturist.


The aggregate Indebtedness of
the farmers of this country is put
at two billions Of dollars--more
than the national debt. Yet there
is no need to fear that the farmers
will be bankrupt. They yearly
produce articles worth four billions.
The farmers do a business COM
pared with which their indebted
ness is small. Nevertheless, a lit
tie ready cash need not wait long
for profitable use; likely, if it were
spent to make the house and land
better, it would bring high interest.
Some men have foolishly buried
gold or silver in the earth; yet
many American farmers could wise
ly put money into their land, and
had better put it there in the form
of manure or tillage than to buy
with it other land. Going in debt
for luxuries cannot be too strongly
condemned; for the farm once
mortgaged is half lost. Insects
may destroy the wheat, storms the
corn, drought the grass, but none
of these attack the mortgage. Debt
has made many gray heads, and
too much land has killed many a
farmers wife.

NEWS AND MISCELLANY.

The engineers and firemen of the
entire Burlington system of rail
roads struck Monday morning,
The strikers are members and are
backed by the Brotherhood Of
Engineers, which body has the
name of being the most conserva-
tive labor organization in the
world. There is a probability that
the strikers places will be filled by
engineers belonging to the Knights
of Labor from Pennsylvania, whose
places were taken by Brotherhood
men during a strike some time ago.
Confederate bonds, which were
recently quoted in the London mar
ket at three-eighths, have jumped
to three-fourths, and further adj
vances are expected. The invest
ors seem to have some wild idea of
getting something out Of the Direct
Tax by enjoining the Treasury from
paying over the southern states
amounts. The hard-headed Eng
lishman is sometimes very guslible.

une says that the house committee

longer exist, and that no reason

About New States.
Chicago News.

The House committee on Terri
tories has decided to recommend
the admission of Dakota, Montana,
New Mexico and Washington Ter
ritories as States, which means, in
plain English, that no new States
will be admitted by the present
Congress in time to vote for Presi-
dent this year.
The Republicans want Dakota
admitted, chiefly because it is
strongly Republican, and they want
its electoral vote for President. The
Democrats don't want Dakota adj
mitted, and instead of voting il
down, they couple it with the tive
Democratic Territories of Montana
and New Mexico and the doubtful
Territory of Washington.
The Republicans don't want Men
tana, New Mexico or Washington
admitted any more than the Demo
Gratis want Dakota, and as the Dem
ocrats are likely to srand for all OF
none, the Republicans will accep
none. Both sides are so nervous
about the national battle of 1888
that they won't take any new
chances, and that settles the ques
ton of new States for the present.
Common sense would say that w
ought to have a higher standard C
craftsmanship to decide the ques
ton of the creation of a sovereign
commonwealth, but we haven't, ant
that ends it.
