The pitching rules are nearer right now
than they have been for many years past.
1t was all very well for few of the star
twirlcrs of the league to monopolize all
the glory of a base ball game, while the
other eight members of the team stood
around. and tossed pebbles out of their
path or chatted with persons on the seats,
in order to keep awake, while the pitcher
and catcher were doing the rest. Under
the existing rules almost every member of
team has an opportunity to distinguish
himself, either at the bat in the field,
and the pitcher with a few exceptions,
takes his chances with his comrades.

ton yesterday, when Col Henry c. Jones.
Lieut.. Col. A. L. Phillips and Maj. ]. H.
Derbyshire, the field officers of the regi-
ment were presented with resolutions
adopted by tine captains of the regiment
requesting them to tender their resigna-
lions, and expressing the belief that the
good of the organization demanded that
this course be followed. Six out of the
seven captains were present at the meet
ing, and the vote stood four to two. In
the ordinary course Of events such action
as this would be INSTRUMENTATION, but in
this instance the company commanders
were requested, with the sanction of Col.
Jones, to consider the best manner of re-
storing harmony in the regiment. The
outcome of this action is looked forward
to with the greatest interest by volunteer
military men all over this section. The
first regiment is said to be in such state
of turmoil that extreme measures will have
to be resorted to to restore harmony.

Kings Chapel.

That tyrannical old Gov. Andres,
who so sorely. vexed the souls of our
Puritan ancestors, left as monu-
ment of his high-handed rule Kings
chapel, which still stands on the
corner of School and fremont
streets, Boston. Until this reckless
governor from Merry England ar
rived upon the scene, the austere
admirers of Oliver Cromwell had
vigorously refused foothold in Bos
ton to any form of Episcopal wor-
ship, considering Church of Eng
land service as iniquitous thing as
the observance of Christmas or any
other kind of popish mummery. I'm
agine the holy wrath of the pious
Pilgrim Fathers when Gov. Andres
calmly announced that henceforth
the Old South church should become
an Episcopal chapel Such storm
OF opposition did his edict arouse
that he changed his mind. Instead
OF utilizing the Old South, he coolly
appropriated choice lot of land, the
property of an opposing colonist, and
built Kings chapel

A WONDERFUL TASK.
A Marvellous Genius Constructed a
Watch in Eight Hours.

Jules Curzon, Polish mechanic,
who was presented witha gold medal
for his inventions, performed most
extraordinary thing when he sue
ceeded in manufacturing a complete
watch in the space Of eight hours,
and from materials on which any
other matchmaker would have looked
contemptuously. 1t appears that
the car of Russia, hearing of the
marvellous inventive genius of Cur
zon, determined to put him to the
test, and forwarded him box con-
tanning a, few copper nails, some
wood clippings, piece Of broken
glass, an old cracked china cup,
some wire and few cribbage pegs,
with request that he should trans
form them into timepiece. Moth
ing daunted, and perceiving a golden
opportunity for winning favor at
the court, Curzon set about his task
with enthusiasm, and in the almost
incredibly short space of eight hours
had dispatched a wonderfully con-
structed watch to the car, who was
so surprised and delighted at the
work he sent for the maker and con.
ferred upon him several distinctions,
as well as granting him a pension.
The case of the watch was made Of
china, while the works were simply
composed Of the odds and ends &C
companying the old cup, Not only
did it keep good time, but only
required winding every three or foul
days. This remarkable watch i.
believed to be still in the possession
of the Russian royal family. House
