Base Ball Association .

Last Wednesday evening many Of the
young people Of Dayton met at the Engine
House to organize base ball association.
The following officers were elected: H. J.
CARING, President; r. b. Davis, Vice Presi-
dent; w. w. Coffin, Secretary; A. J. New
man, Treasurer; Walter ]. Harris. Manager.
A Board of Directors consisting Of the Pres.
ident, Secretary. Manager, and c. H. Wat
son and J. H. Hepworth was also elected.
1t will be the duty of the Board to make all
arrangements for games to be played by
members Of the Association and the Board
shall also select the players for any match
game. All persons who feel interested
enough in base ball matters to Join the Asso-
citation can do so by paying an initiation fee
Of 81 and monthly dues Of 50 cents. Day
ton has material from which to select very
good nine, we believe, and in making Mr..
Harris, Manager, the Association has done a
very wise thing, as all that is necessary for
Dayton to have the champion team in the
State this year is practice. Mr.. Harris will
no doubt see that the boys are in good trim
before they are allowed on the field IN a
match game. The Association has some
twenty odd members now and we hope to
see the membership double soon. Base ball
is an interesting sport and as we have excel
lent grounds in Dayton the Directors will
probably arrange for some good games to be
played here during the season.

Among the Seal Catcl.crs.

Attoo, Alaska, the most westerly point
of land where the American flag flies, is
an island fifteen or twenty miles in cx.
tent, and OF volcanic origin, like all the
others of this long chain. 1t is inhabited
by about hundred and thirty hardy,
honest-hcartcd Alcuts, who subsist by
scal-hunting, fishing and the propagation
of "blue' foxes and domestic geese
The Alcnts are honest, kindly people,
and no explorer or visitor need have the
least apprehension about going anon g
them quite alone and unarmcd They
are all Greek Christians, and better
Christians in their daily life and be-
havior than many of our low-country-
men nearer the centre of government.
They prosecute seal and whale fisheries
to some extent rs means of livelihood,
but their principal business is the pursuit
and capture of the sea otter.
An expert Aleutinn hunter sometimes
clears two thousand dollars year from
this industry alone. Aside from fish and
the flesh of young seals, their food
supplies comes to them mainly by the
way of the traders to whom they sell
their furs. They dress also for the most
part i'll woollcn clothing of the ''ready-
made" class, which the traders bring
them, and their women are said to be
close and admiring imitators of Paris
fashions, although the Gifts which they
obtain are not always rs would win the
approval of French modistcs.

The Tallow Candle Tree.

the tallow tree, or the tallow candle
tree, is native product of China. If
there is II land on earth where one would
not he surprised TO find lighted tallow
candles growing on the trees it is in the
land of the queue and silk pantaloon.
Seriously speaking. TIE iallow candle does
not bear -. ,.nnual crop of candles strung
ON Il cotton string all ready for use, but
one of its many products docs much re-
semblc unrctincd animal tallow and is
used i'll the manufacture of all articles re-
quiring ingredients of fat.
The Chinese tallow tree is about four
to eight inches in diameter and twelve to
twenty feet high, but the talow is not
found i'll the trunk, neither has it ''pith
like the elder" The fatty matter from
which it takes its name is Il part of the
fruit. The fruit, says 4 writer in the st.
Louis Republic, is enclosed i'll Il sort OF
pod like most other nuts, but more re-
sembling the chestnut than any other
which can recall at this moment, and
consists of three grayish kcrnals, each
having Il capsule of its own and another
seed within the pulpy matter enclosing
this second seed, OF nut, being the "tal-
low" of which so much has been said
and written.
1t has all the properties of pure tallow,
even to taste and smell, and when rubbed
upon paper or cotton rags it burns with
bright, white light and gives out much
heat

ing the arms and backs of slaves generally
captured in war.
Obviously the galeys of the French,
Spanish, and Italian nations were sur
vival of the Roman trireme. In some Of
these there were sails, but in Others there
acre clean decks, rs in the days when
the Thurman trircmcs of Octairanus won
the great victory of Actium.
To American readers there can be no
interest in the minute differences between
the galeon, the gailcas, and the galera
o: Spain and Italy, and the goeiette and
galere OF France, for they were all modi-
fications of the Roman long ship. The
benches of the oarsmcn were manned by
prisoners condemned to serve in the Kings
galleys for different periods of time, and
this will explain to the readers of Molierc,
and La Sage, and other French writers of
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
lnnumerablc illusions to the gal
leys. At the French revolution
the system was abandoned forever,
and it ceased under the Napolconic
regime in Spain, nor was it renewed when
Joseph Bonapartc was expelled and the
rightful King, Ferdinand, came back to
Aranjuez and the Escurial. But it sub.

A Sll0eless Crowd.

Seven ladies and eleven gentlemen
were landed from Pullman palace car
in Cincinnati few mornings since with
out shoes to their feet, and this is how it
happened On the Pennsylvania west
bound express out of Pittsburg in tho
evening there was an unusually heavy
travel from New York, and ut Pittsburg
1T was necessary to attach IN extra
sleeper. The porter selected for the run
was I'm castcra route man, and he dscov-
cred soon after the train left the depot
that an old friend of his was running on
one of the regular cars ahead. The por-
tiers met, exchanged salutations and
agreed, after getting all their people to
bed, that it would be Il good scheme to
polish the passengers shoes together in
the forward car aud spend the balance of
the night in II social chat with intervals
devoted to libation from pocket flask.
The porter OF the extra gathered his
peoples shoes together in pillow case
three Partisan petite pairs owned by
young Indies of Cincinnati ell route home
from Europe, four pair of matronly gait-
ers and eleven heavier pairs of various
styles and sizes, belonging TO the men in
the car. He took them forward to his
chum's car, each shoe carefully chalkcd
with the number of the berth, and the
two guardians of the slumbcring passcw
gers had genial time together, so plesss
ant, i'll fact, that 1t was nearly daybreat
when it occurred to the porter of the ex-
ira that it would be well to take mp his
peoples shoes and get back to his own
car.
lie went back, but his car had van
ished! TO say that he turned white with
establishment would be no cxaggeration.
The Cincinnati car had been switched at
Columbus, and the Cincinnati passcn-
gers shoes were spinning along at fifty
miles an hour toward indianapolis, on
the st. Louis section of the Vandalia ex-
press. The porter felt the gravity of the
situation, SO far as he was concerned,
and at the next stopping station he dis
appeared rapidly toward the east with n
pillowcasc full of shoes over his shoulder
The passengers did not discover ther loss
until the breakfast hour, and the comica,
surprise can better be imagined than dee
