A Novel Suit for Damages.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The suit Of base ball spectator for
damages to his nose, incurred while
in the discharge of duty that is to
say, while in attendance at a game in
Washington-ralses novel question
of liability not without personal in
terest for all who feel called upon to
subject themselves to the perils of
the national game. AS the first case
of the kind on record it will naturally
have much significance in a legal
way. What defense the party de-
PENDANT, to-wit, the Washington club,
may have to offer has not been d.
vulged. Presumably it will make
contention either that the foul tip
was the act of Providence, or that the
defendant was guilty of contributory
negligence in. being present at q game
of ball; and the more so that his feat
ures were entirely uncovered the
vicissitudes OF the contest, when they
might, at slight expense, have been
protected by mask.
1t is difficult to surmise how either
contention could materially avail
to better the defendants cause. An
attempt to impart providential
character to the national game, in
any measure, would more than tax
the ingenuity of the Philadelphia
lawyer; while it would be as absurd
to expect that the frequenter of ball
grounds should wear q mask as to
ask that a member of congress, who
resorts to a morning session for in
stance, should similarly defend his
countenance while standing outside
q door on the other side of which
there might chance to be q stalwart-
hearted Texan bent on escaping the
servitude of q quorum count.
One of the many morals pointed by
the present suit, regardless of Its
legal outcome, Is that base ball should
be made less of q projectile than al
present, and given an elastic or semi
elastic quality-like the cartilage OF
the nose, for example-so that, while
still retaining the contusive power
essen ial for the dislocation Of the
players thumbs, 1t might impinge
with q lower average Of fatality on
| the comparatively harmless specta.
| tor. In the absence of some such de-
vice to make the bali innocuous the
| tendency of ball-goers will be more
and more to avoid the peril Of thu
| fifty-cent seats and resort to the NOR,
| primitive but safer and thriftier knot
hole, to the grave detriment of thu
club exchequers.

Country Funerals.

From the New York Ledger.
A funeral in a country town is al
ways melancholy thing, much more
so than in the midst of a great city,
where the multitude of living, in
stead of offering, as might be sup
posed, strange and startling con-
trast to the procession of the dead
seems to carry away all thought OF
mortality upon the tide of animation,
and the only fitting and seasonable
observation is, "Lo! another drop of
water gone from the ocean
Almost every circumstance is to
man, in general, very little impress.
sive, except by its associations
which are the channels whereby the
events that occur to others apply
themselves to our own hearts; and
the general moral that we must al
die Is the only one suggested by the
sight of sight of death in a large city
But in q village, or hamlet, or small
neighborhood, funeral has, in gen.
eraI, q thousand associating ties with
the mind of every one who beholdi
it, bringing it near both to feeling
and generous to selfish hearts.
One man, when he sees his compan
ion borne to the grave, thinks of tn,
boyish days of happiness which h,
has spent with him, and looks bacl
upon the past with regret. Anothe
mourns him, cut off early before hi
family are provided for, leaving .
widow or parents behind. Another
thinks, HE was my schooJ.fellow
and he is gone; it may be my turf
next" So each reads his common
In turn; each feels an interest in tn
man he has personally known; an,

Legislative district board listened TO the
arguments of counsel on the question

error to overcome Baldwin's majority

sided with the latter, and the four
