BABY'S PRETTY CURLS.

bnrrnsscd Her Mamma.
a well dressed woman with beauti-
full baby in her arms attracted the at
tention of all the passengers on Ger
mantown car. Every one was fasci-
mated by the baby's pretty and smiling
face and particularly by two golden
curls which hung down her cheeks.
After awhile the child became nerv-
Gus and began to tug at one of the
curls which protruded from her hood.
The woman, presumably her mother,
quickly stopped her, but a few mo-
ments later she looked out Of the win
dow. No sooner was her face turned
than the child seized her bonnet with
both hands and pulled il off. 1t offer
er little resistance, but to the astonish-
ment of every one on the car the curls
came with 1t, and the supposed golden
haired baby showed that in reality its
head was without the semblance of
hair.
The child swung the bonnet to and
fro and laughingly held 1t up for the
inspection of the other passengers. 1t
was almost a minute before the wom-
an turned around. When she saw
what the baby had done, her face
flushed, and without n word she pick
ed up the child and walked sedately
out of the car When last seen, she
was trudglng down Spring Garden
street with the baby tucked under her
arm like n sack of oats, but still hold
ing tightly to the bonnet and cooling.

STANDING OF STATE CLUBS.
TARBoRO's PROTEST AT DURHAM.
Capt. O'Brien Gives His Reasons and Warns
Up an Umpire.

The Durham ~papers-at least II OF
them-criticiSed very severely the
game there on Thursday between Tar
boro and Durham. calling the game
"a farce" and putting the responsible
itv for it on the Tarboro team.
This is unfair" said Capt. Bacon
Yesterday. I'll admit hat the game
wa a farce. but that Tarboro was re
sponSible for it | deny.
The fact, about it all are these:
Our pitcher was unable to play. so we
put our third baSeman in the box.
They made five runs on him.. Then
a fine mist of rain began TO fall. We
called in the short-stop to pitch. but
he did no better and the first inning
ended with Durham 10 to our moth
ing; and thus the score stood when
the rain began to fall in earnest. This
was in the second inning.
I'VE wanted the game called on ac-
count OF ain but Durham being ten
runs ahead OF us the umpire declined
to call it. though it was soon raining
hard enough for the spectators 10
seek shelter. The rules say that in
case of rain and the bleacherS have
to seek shelter the umpire shall call
the game for thirty and that
if at the end of hat time rain Is still
falling he shall declare the game of.
We asked that this be done but the
umpire declined, and we had TO play
the game out in the rain.
AT the end of the sixth inning Dur
ham. still ahead, offered to have the
game called and the umpire readily
consented as he would at that stage
have declared it Durham's game. OF
course we then declined, and insisted
on playing out the nine innings. HaV-
ing already played Sin OF them IN the
rain we saw nothing to lose by gong
on. But the nine innings We're never
completed. Durham played her frs
half of the ninth in darkness and the
game was called without our having
our half at all.
These. together with the nnfall
! rulings Of the umpire, are the reasons
| why the game was q farce. Wade Is
] undoubtedly the sorrie.t umpire we "

| are not the first team that has sui

Barrels Of iced lemonade-plenty of good

The county candidates are filling their

Republicans met them the first day, and
it was made SO hot for them by the Dem

CENSUS OFFICES FIRST BULLETIN.
Increase Of Population in District of Columbia
48, 526.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, July 1.-THE Census Office
issued its first bulletin today giving the
population of the District Of Columbia at
27S, us. This is an increase since the
last census CT 4S, 326 or 2O.9S per cent.
In announcing the result of the canvass
of the city of Washington, the Director of
the Census desires to state that the policy
heretofore pursued of making a prelimin-
airy or rough count, based on a hurried
computation Of names on the population
schedules, will be abandoned. 1t is the
purpose of the officials of the bureau
to give out figures of cities or States
PREDICTED entirely upon data ascertalned
through the medium of the tabulating ma
hines. The population of the more i'm
oortant cities will be announced in adj
vance Of the figures for the States and
Territories.
Unless all plans fail, it is confidently
expected that the official count of the
population of the United States will be
given to the public on or about the frs
of December, 1860.
