to Klein tended altogether toward the
fact that he sold liquor.

SELMA
Crack Ball Team of That City Defeats

Selma, May 19.-(Special.) -Selma has a
cracking good base ball team this season,
and is gaining new laurels in every con-
test that they engage in. Meridian is now
playing a series with the Selma club and
though bringing with thefn New Orleans
battery, proved easy meat for Selmas
crack team yesterday, the game being one
of the worst that it has been the misfor-
tune of the team to go against. The score
stood AZ to 8, and could have been made
70 to about as easily.
Troy, which is said to have an exception
ally fine team, will play next week, and
1t is hoped that a game will be put up
that will at least make 1t interesting to the
Selma team.

The infantry suffered terribly It was
impossible to advance along the narrow
track, and when the guns were ordered
up the situation was in no way better
ed. Nearly every horse was killed or
wounded. A deep ditch, cut across the
road, hindered effective action, and the
only position where reply to the enemy s
fire was possible lay beyond this obsta-
Gle. Despite the losses Of his command,
Jackson managed to lift one gun across
by hand, but his men became demoral-

The scnIlon.

The scallop accomplishes locomotion
by series of leaps. When it is alarmed,
or wishes to change its location, it
opens and energetically closes it's
valves, thus expelling the water. The
reaction shoots it backward By this
means the creature is able to travel long
distances. Sometimes scallops make
considerable journeys in large COM
panies One can scarcely imagine a
lovelier sight than that of a flock of
these pretty creatures, with shell of ev.
cry hue, from purple and white to black,
enlivened with shades of pink yellow
and fawn, darting about in clear water.
In their fiightlike movements, vertical,
horizontal and zigzag, they are more
suggestive of flock of winged animals
than Of bivalve mollusks.
