That hung on my chamber wall,
AS its pendulum swung from left to right,
Telling Of time in Its onward flight,
/ counted them one and all. si-
I counted one, then counted two,
Till counted just threesoore,
still Ia succession on they few, VI AW
Then Ibegan to count anew,
\ But minute Of life was Ger.
AS the threescote ticks had counted thus
Had Into eternity fed,
Just threescore times | counted plus
To the threescore ticks had counted thus
Ana y at,sf lie had sped,
Then tNas&i as dreamingly l lay,
And the clock still ticking on,
How stealthlully thro' night and day
Youth, manhood's prime, time steals away
And life so soon is gone
And thought of the more enduring life,
Now yelled from mortal view,
The life no mortal eye can ken,
The life, where soon we hope again
Sweet friendship to renew.

THE COLONELs STILL LOSING.

The San Joses Gain Another Easy Vic
tory.
SAN Francisco, March 27.-Ten
thousand people witnessed the game be-
tween Oakland and the San Jose club
this afternoon. The game was not an
exciting one, on account of the contest
being uneven from the start. The su-
periority of the San Jose team over the
Oakland club, as the latter is now COM
posed, was manifest at the beginning.
The San Jose players batted O'Neill's
pitching almost at will, and their sharp
stick work was all that saved the game
from being uninteresting.. Oakland
played better fielding game today, but
their hitting was decidededly weak.
George Harper, who was in the box for
the victors, had slightly sore arm and
after his side took the lead in the first
inning, he merely tossed the ball over
the plate, but even then the Oaklands
found it hard to put the ball into safe
territory. Several prominent baseball
experts here agree that the changes
made in the San Jose team have i'm
proved it twenty-five per cent, and that
Oakland must be strengthened TO hold
leading place in the league race.

cial pains to ascertain the drift of Demo

that it is overwhelmingly for Cleveland.

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Diplomacy Comes High and We Don't
Need SO Much of II.

Need SO Much of 1t.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Blount of
Georgia, chairman of the house commit
tee on foreign affairs, has prepared for
submission to the house, an extensive
report accompanying the regular annual
consular and diplomatic appropI iation
bill, framed by the committee. The re-
port says:
careful examination made into the
subject OF foreign missions and the i'm
portance of diplomatic relations with
the several countries of the world, shows
that modern facilities for the transmits
sion and interchange of thought dis
pence with much need of foreign rep
resentation. In addition to this the
country has grown to such magnitude as
to enjoy regard from oth,1 ma
tions which guarantees her .ainst
foreign insolence, outrage and CT seless
war. Very much might be safe done
in reducing the number of ministers by
the abolition of unimportant missions
or the union of several countries under
one mission. Not encouraged by hope
for the acceptance of these views by the
senate or the president, it is deemed
best, except in few instances, as re-
ported when the bill was introduced, to
postpone the needed reforms. By a
mistake of the printer it was announced
that Guatemala and Venezuela We're
joined under one minister. Separate
missions are to be maintained to the
two countries, and the salary is fixed at
$4,000 each.
The report says the committee gave
careful attention to the consular service,
and revised it according to the business
and Importance to the United States OF
each place.

The league was made up in
's4 and 's5 OF the same clubs,
the Haverlys again securing the flag
both seasons. Up to this period all
games were played on the Recreation
grounds. San Francisco. In 1886 the
California league was reorganized
with the same officers as the
previous year and the following
clubs: Haverlys, Greenhood &
Moran, Pioneers and Atlas. The
league games were played at the Ala
media grounds, the Haverlys again
winning the cha mpionship. In 1887 the
Haight-street grounds were built, and
the California league has occupied them
ever since. The same clubs composed
the league as the previous year, but the
Pioneers won the pennant with the
Haverlys second, Atlas third and G. &
Ms last. This was the closest finish
ever known in the California league, the
Pioneers beating the Haverlys out by q
percentage of half game, the Hav-
erlys just beating the Atlas for the
place, while the tail enders were close
up. In 1888, the league organized with
the Haverlys, Pioneers, Greenhood &
Moran and Stockton, the latter club
landing the pennant. In 1889, Oakland,
San Francisco, Sacramento and Stock
ton. This year Oakland captured the
pennant.
The championship was decided on the
last day of the season when over 10000
people attended at the Haight street
grounds to watch the struggle between
Oakland and San Francisco. Oakland
won by score of to 4. The leagne
passed law this season which has al
ways been strictly adhered to. 1t was
to the effect that each club should bear
the name of the city it represented, thus
doing away with old titles of Haverlys,
Greenhood & Morans, etc.
In 1890 the league organized with the
same clubs and the same officers, with
the exception that M. E. Finn acted as
secretary. At the close OF the season
the championship was tie between
Sacramento and San Francisco. The
league ordered the clubs to play
off three games for the champion
ship on neutral grounds at Stockton.
The Sacramento club failed to put in
an appearance and the umpire awarded
the games and championship to San
Francisco. Fred Carroll, the present
captain and first baseman, was the UNI
pire.
In 1891 the cities represented were
San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento
and San Jose. The latter club won the
pennant. This year the league cities are
San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and
Los Angeles. HENRY HARRIS,
Manager of the San Francisco team.
