who was managing the Bay City nine.
and at the same time playing second

famous as the manager of the Detroit
worlds champions, and is now ut the

and in ten minutes George Allen and
George Walsh had collected over $40

the MilwaukeeS were defeated by a

Quinn, Saltwater pitcher, snapped his
left arm sQuarcly off just above the
elbow in the act Of sending in speedy
twister, and two weeks later Pearson, a
Minneapolis spiral artist, broke his
right arm in delivering ball at Mil
waulee. The st. Paul team of that
year stood eleventh in Il league OF
twelve clubs, but base ball enthusiasm
was nevertheless very great, owing to
the newness of the game in the North
west. The excitement was intense
along about the middle of July, when
the Grand Rapids team, the leader of
the league, made its initial appearance
in st. Paul. The local aggregation of fat
men had been defeated twice each IN a
series of three games by Quincy and
Peoria, three times each by Saginaw

What 10 the matter with Saturn.

High up in the southern heavens on any
fair evening i'll April, may be seen half u
dozen stars remarkable for being arranged
IN the form of IL large sickle standing up
right OH its handle, with the opening of
the curved blade turned toward the west.
! hese stars mark the head and breast Of
the Lion, one of the consultations of the
Zodiac. West of this figure of a sickle the
most careless observer cannot fail to
notice a star, brighter than any of those
in the Lion, but shining with a light stea-
dier than theirs. It is the planet Saturn,
u globe belonging, like the earth, to the
dominion of the sun, but more than seven
hundred times as large as the earth, and
surrounded by a system of fat rings sRs-
pended edgewise one within another over
it's equator, and extending in their extreme
diameter nearly 10000 miles from side to
side. The astronomer who is fortunate
enough to possess q powerful telescope,
cannot find in all the heavens q more
attractive phenomenon to exhibit to his
friends than Saturn ia, when it's belted
and delicately tinted globe shows sharp
aud clear through a serene atmosphere.
aud the giant rings sweep round it with
every line and marking on their surfaces
distinctly visible. All those who have
seen this spectacle with the Lick telescope
unite in declaring that its majesty and
beauty are. beyond the reach of descrip-
ton.
1t was formerly thought that Saturn
might be an, Inhabited world, and readers
OF good old Thomas Dicks works will
recall how interestingly he expatiated
upon the plendors of such all abode, even
going so far as to calculate the probable
number of inhabitants dwelling upon both
the globe and the rings of the planet. His
Census, of the Saturnians exhibited q total
mounting far up in the billions! But

How to Live a Successful Life.

In order to be of practical service in
this world, man must have love for
some truth, or cause. or party, or per-
sonal leader, and must be loyal to the
object of his devotion. No man can
compass any real good merely by be-
ing hater, a scoffer or sneerer. A
man may do harm to one side, or to
both sides, in any great contest, by his
hostility to one or both of the
contestants; but he would be Of little
worth to either side through simply
disliking the other side. You may
think it shows your superiority for you
to say that you care little who sue
ceeds in conflict which arouses the
deepest feelings Of your fellows on
every side Of you; but the history of
the race shows that men who are worth
initiating have never had that spirit
as observers of the struggles of human
ity in their day. S. s. Times.

night. Being in haste to reach the

first restaurant we came to-and it is
called q good One-fOr supper. There
were no vacant tables, so selected b
table at which was seated a very nice
appearing mortal, we'll dressed, and
who gave the impression OF being gen.
tleman OF taste. His order was served
as we took our seats, and as we wait
ed for ours we were RECALLED by as won
derful an exhibition OF ,gastrononic
gymnastics as had ever seen. This
gentleman OF taste began with soup.
He evidently is fond OF soup. With one
hand clasping the plate, to tilt
it as the compound grew less, and
the other the spoon as Arson holds his
bat when two men are out and three
on bases, he got on the outside of that
soup in five breaths, and with such a
noise as comes from the waste-pipe of
nearly emptied bath-tub. He then
gave his attention to his fish, and but
for his opportune coughing would have
certainly proved the worth OF our fears
that some of the bones would be the
death of him. The fish dispatched, he
devoted his energies to nice-lookina
sirloin, some potatoes and turnips.

prepared by himself; for, after care
fully cutting the meat from the bone
he cut it in small pieces, dumped the
potatoes and turnip on top, and, by
deft manipulation, had in the twinkline
OF an eye the three ingredients mixc(
with a thoroughness worthy of bettel
cause. He has little use for forl
when he eats hash. He prefers, as HI
showed last evening, to get his knit
nicely heaped, using crust of brea'
for pusher. How he got through tn
dessert l don't know. My companion
complained of a sudden faintness, ant

PAST CIVILIZATIONS.
The Rise and Fall of Vast and Mighty
States and Empires.


States and Empires.
There have been some half dozen
great civilizations within the memory
of man. There have been the Roman, the
Persian, the Greek, the Assyrian and the
Egyptian, and each and all of them have
ceased to exist under the same Cir
cumstances. The Roman Empire at
tanned stability and organization
which well might promise to be eter-
nal. Even in the time of Caracalla it
seemed sound in every part Of its inn
mense frame, and likely to compete
with the solid fabrics of nature. Yet
within century or two afterwards
hordes of Goths and Huns, whom a
few years before no one knew even by
name, were trampling on the tombs of
Caesar and the Antonines. The Persian
Empire, for Oriental vastness and awe
which such splendOr creates, seemed
once so permanent that folly
alone could predict its rum. Yet
down swept an unexpected cata-
clysm of semi-barbarous Macedonians
and Persia was no more. The
Assyrians. in the decline of their
power. were yet the undisputed princes
of Asia. Who would have thought
that Babylon could become desert
that night when the barbarian Cyrus
knocked at its gates? Egypt with all
its wealth, all its learning and all its
commerce, was in moment overrun
by wild marauders, with Cambyses at
their head, and not a vestige of its
power was left. The great Greek En-
pire of Byzantium, after lasting a
thousand years, and, regarding it as u
continuation of elder civilization, en-
during for nearly double that time,
seemed, indeed, to have its dissolution
indefinitely delayed, in order that tho
event might come about in the strictly
orthodox form of the human drama.
| 1t had outlived the furies which beset
the Empire of the West. Even the
Saracens hurled themselves at it in
vain. 1t was like to be an imperial
| prodigy, as a man who lives on, en-
powered with an immunity from death,
monster, portent, an unnatural
being whom death has forgotten and
all men point at with horror. But the
end came-the death of a civilization;
its only way to leave the world-in the
inroad and overwhelming by the bar
barian Turks. - Gentleman's Magazine.

gaze.
As the lawyer slowly unfolded the
important document the eyes OF all
were upon him, and they Wondered at
the amazed and bewildered look with
which he regarded the paper. He
turned it over and over, held it to the
light. and with Mr.. Smelling carefully
examined it.
This is very extraordinary" he
said. II myself wrote and sealed
this will, and am certain that it has
not since been tempered with. The
seal was intact and the paper un-
doubleday the same upon which 1
wrote. Here are marks to prove it;
but the writing itself, with the sigma
lures, have disappeared"
Every body stared. Ambrose Peck,
with white face and wild eyes, came
forward.
"W-what ink did you use?" he
gasped.
The lawyer turned suddenly to Miss
Judd.
miss Judd, can you produce the
bottle Of ink which you presented me
for the writing Of this will?"
mo, SIR" promptly replied the
lady, rising as if on the witness stand
of a court of justice. IF you re-
member, l informed you when went
for you that there happened to be no
ink in the house, and asked permission
to take bottle from your Office, which
did while you put on your coat; and,
after the will was written, l requested
you to take the bottle back with you to
the Office, which you did"
Certainly. l remember now; a
bottle with mulberry-colored label
or wrapper, which l had noticed on
your desk, Mr.. Peck. Perhaps il
would be as well to produce it"
Mr.. Peck turned his eyes wildly up
on Miss Judd. What he saw in the
gaze which unAinchingly met his own
only himself knew, but he at once
without uttering a word, sank linn
and helpless into "a chair, trembling al
though under stroke of palsy.
The affair was moro than nine
days wonder to the good people o
the town. For there ensued very
complicated lawsuit, in which it wa
finally decided that no legal and au
thentic will OF the late Mrs. Jollife

whole property naturally reverted t.
