Base Ball Notes.-The game that was
announced to have taken place on Friday Of
last week between the Bel Alton and La Plata
Clubs was postponed on account Of the Bel
Alton Club not showing up. A game how
ever, was played between scrub" nine
from Bel Alton aud the substitutes Of the La
Plata Club resulting 10 victory for the
scrubs by score Of IL to 8. The largest
crowd that has ever attended game at this
village, was on hand Friday, and were great
ly disappointed by The game not being played.
The scrubs claimed that they never play
match games unless Maddox could pitch for
them, and now that Maddox had returned TO
St. Johns College, it would be impossible
to play any more match games this season.
Don't disband boys What's the matter with
Captain Cox or the brilliant second baseman?
On Tuesday the La Plata Club was defeat
ed By the Waldorf Club on the latter's
ground by score of II to 10. The game
was exciting aud nteres ting, notwiths;and-
ing the bad fielding and wild throws made
BY both clubs Barnes proved 10 be an easy
mark for the Waldorf boys, and the support
be received from the ielders was simply terri
bic. Carrico pitched anything but first
class ball, but still there were few base hits
made of him. An overlooker remarked he
believed that il a barge was an :hored at the
plate the La Plata boys would never strike it.
MIR. Camillus 0arrico umpired the game very
satisfactory, not a single "kick being made
over his decisions
The McConchie Club played a return game
with the Matthias Pr Club of Virginia, on SIT
urday last, and defeated them by a score of
10 TO IL.
1t is rumored that Maddox has the Bel Alton
Club at St. Johns College teaching them
how to play ball. Don't forget Emory to
teach the Captain the rules.
The members of the La Plata Base Ball
Club are requested to meet at the drug store,
Friday evening at 8 clock.

The Value of Compromises.

There are few greater necessities or so- cial life than that spirit of accommoda- ton which is realized in mutual compro- mises Two persons may tnink mae pendently on many subjects; they may have different hopes, fears and desires; their tastes and inclinations may lead Tn opposite directions; their judgement may form contrary conclusions; ana as long as they are alone they are free 10 cherish and develop them as they please But directly they come together in more or less intimate companionship, they ma the necessity of making mutual conces- sions, both in speech ana conouc1. II
 there is to be any peace, any gooo VIII, any happy intercourse, any successIui action together each one must give up something that he likes. sacrifice some cherished plan, postpone some pleasure, yield some interest of his own. The closer the relations between them the more imperative is the need for this re- ciprocal surrender. No fr1enosnp can long subsist without it; no marriage can offer any hope for happness where 1t does not exist. All concerted action Is dependent upon it. Partners in business must defer to each other; members or
 any association must accommodate must be a mutual give and takei read. mess to postpone personal preferences to the general good, willingness to wait, to listen, to yield for the sake of accom-
 plishing the object which all have at heart. To recognize differences without
 surprise, to respect them without antag.- onism. to accord them their just and rightful place, are essential clements in ali successful or serene human inter course Burke, in his speech on ooncilia- tion with America, says: All govern ment, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue. and every pru- dent act. is founded on compromise and barter. We balance inconveniences; we give and take we remit some rights that we may enjoy others"
 Yet, although compromise is so neces- sary to social welfare, 1t has It's limits,
