Pitcher Seeds, late of the Brocktons but

When he came here he engaged Port
land lawyer to take action for him against
Manager Allen, of the Brocktons, to recover
5000 due him as unpaid salary. This lawyer
went down to Lewiston Wednesday and
trusteed the Lewiston association for the
$50 to be paid Brookton for one game. They
were to pay $75 for the two garnes, but
| when Tom O'Brion, the acting manager,
| found that the $50 had been attached he
| wouldn't pay the second game and pre-

When Breckenridge attempted to
make Mrs. Blackburn an uncon-
scious accessory to his scheme for
establishing an American harem,
he put his foot in it clear up to the
shoe top. The sinews of war for
the Pollard fight are provided by
voluntary subscription by Mrs.
Blackburn and her friends, who
feel indignant and outraged over
Breckinridge's attempt to hide his
deceit and debaucheries under
cover of their garments. 1t is time
that Washington was startled into
propriety, and the indications are
that this trial is going to be the
bomb that will blow into the air
no end of schemes that are no whit
cleaner than that now so notorious,

A WAR INCIDENT.
How Private o'Dormody Turned
the Joke Upon the Colonel.

the Joke Upon the Colonel.
"Gringo" in his letter from Gal
weston to the Ell Paso Herald, re-
lates a good Irish anecdote of the
war illustrative of the quick wit
of Pat under trying circumstan-
ces:
"Among the we'll known deni-
Zens here is one Malachi Oder
mody, veteran of the famous SO,
New York infantry, Irish brigade.
This regiment lost more officers
and enlisted men in killed and
wounded during our great civil
war, than any regiment from the
empire state. The brigade to
which it belonged never lost flag
although it captured twenty
stands of Colors in the en-
gagements in which it participated.
The old battle-sc SCARED Malachi re-
lates the following episode in his
military life. Just before the battle
of fredericksburg, General Burn
side issued an order forbidding all
foraging. AS rations were then
short, this order was sometimes
more honored in the breach than
in the observance, and the one
most flagrantly guilty of its vio-
lation was Malachi O'Dermody.
Upon one of his raids for provender
he had succeeded in catching a
razor back hog, and while in the
act Of dressing it, was surprised
| by hOrseman in blue army
suit, who rushed at him exclaim-
ing: "YOu d rascal, l have
caught you in the act of violating
the orders Of the commanding gen.
eral. Hand me your musket, sir,
and go with me to the provost
marshal for punishment" ODER
mody, although taken aback for a
moment at having been caught in
his predatory act, was equal to the
occasion. Raising his musket and
cooking it he took deliberate
aim at the horseman, and
thus addressed him; "You fell
lows have played this game
long enough, l known you to be a
rebel in disguise, and here as a
spy, so dismOunt, and your Uncle
Malachi will ridew The sup
posed spy realizing that discretion
is the better part of valor, dis
mounted, while asserting that he
was Colonel Blank Of Major Ger
Avery's staff, and Private Oder
mody became for the nonce of the
mounted infantry. He now forced
his captive to shoulder the
hog and thus marched him
in triumph to the camp of the
Goth. Here the hog-carrier found
no difficulty in establishing the
fact of his being a fuli-tledged
: colonel and A. ID. c. L. S. V. Mala'
chi was at once arrested and taken
before General Burnsides, who at
ter hearing the dismounted infan'

ordered him to report to the
colonel of his regiment for duty
