By our latest dispatches per telegraph from
Europe it will be perceived that the Imperial
government of France Is annoyed at the
reported appearance of the red republican
agitator, Gustave Flourens, in Greece. AT
first glance this susceptibility appears little
overstrained but when we remember that
the island Of Sicily and the extreme districts
Of Calabria at the southernmost point of the
Italian peninsula have of late years been the
favorite rallying places of republican insurgent
bands, moving at one time against the autho-
rity of the new Italian kingdom, and at another
against the security of the Pope, whom
Napoleon III. is bound to defend, the cause of
anxiety becomes a little more apparent.
Moreover, it is quite evident that, were the
reds to succeed in overthrowing Victor
Emanuel, and thereby obtain control of the
regular Italian army, they would Immediately
apply its strength and discipline to the expul-
sion Of Plus TX. from Rome.


Greece, therefore, is too convenient a pivotal
point for the leaders of the red republican
party to be allowed to harbor them, 80 long as
their maneuvres are likely to embroil France
and her allies The French authorities have
at this moment paramount influence with the
Greek government, and, in addition to the
possibility of fresh disorders of which Flou-
rens may be the authorized instigator, that in
dividual is actually under the ban of the law
for having been an alleged accomplice in the
recently discovered conspiracy against the
Emperor Napoleon's life. He has fed from
England, and the potentate against whom he
conspired is pursuing him with the intent to
secure his arrest, ifpossible. The pretext for
direct intervention in Greece is plausible
enough, and may lead to political complica-
tons of a very important character. Russia
still maintains the attitude of ready friend
and protector to the Greeks, and the Gar is
even now in close and somewhat mysterious
conference with his powerful neighbor and
relative, the King Of Prussia, who, after hav-
ing entertained him royalty at Berlin, is visit
ing him at the baths of Ems. Great conflicts
have sprung from foundations more slender
even than this but, at all events, in one way
or another the Eastern question seems to be
hurried towards solution by almost every
political breeze that blows.

In your general demeanor to others, you can

are intensely selfish, and yet are wcllbred. In
such cases, they affect good feeling they real
ly do not entertain, and pretend to be pleased
with people whom they secretly dislike: They

Some months since a statement
was published to the effect that
Miss Gray, milliner of Fort
Edward, New York, had become
the fortunate heir to nineteen
million dollars, which her lover, a
young Englishman, bad willed to
her upon his dying bed. The
main fact in the case-the heir
ships true; but we now learn
that it was not to the lover but to
his father that Miss Gray is in
debted for her extraordinary good
fortune. 1t seems the lover on
his return to England, like too
many others, proved inconstant,
aud married another lady against
his fathers will. Whether it was
rem rse at his faithlessness or from
other cause,. certain it is the young
man died in about a year after his
marriage, aud left all his property
to his father. The old gentleman
was without heirs; and not hav-
ing become recCnciled TO his
daughter-in-law, upon his death
left one-half of his property to the
government Of England and the
remaining half, nineteen million
dollars, to Miss Gray, the Fort
Edward milliner. The sum was
SO large that many people were
disposed TO doubt its truth when
it first appeared in print; but Miss
Gray has already eceived the first
instalment of her fortune, a trifle
of FIVE million dollars, from the
British Consul in New York.

The Maoch Yesterday Afternoon-An Immense


COncourse of People Witness the Game-The


Athletic cVtctorious.-scOre, 24-15.


About six thousand people gathered on the
Athletic grounds to witness the first OF the
series for the championship between the Athe-
letic, of this city, and the Mutual of New York.
In addition to this crowd, each of whom had
willingly paid fifty cents for admission, the
housetops and trees in the vicinity OF the enclo-
sure were, to our mind uncomfortably packed
Some of the residents anticipating that old Sol
would send forth such heat as had been felt
during the past few weeks, had canvas stretched
across the roof from chimney to chimney, under
which, although the atmosphere was delight
fully cool, quite large numbers of spectators
were seated About two hundred seats on the
ground had been reserved for the New Orleans
visiting iremen. They made their appearance
Just few moments before the game commenced,
and as they marched to their places the crowd
applauded; -
Bomeisler having been selected umpire, the
game started with the Mutual at the bat, the
Athletic having won the toss. a poor throw by
Pratt gave the Workers two runs, Hatfield and
Nelson coming in on the throw. Notwithstand-
ing that three men of the Athletic had reached
their bases, not a run was made-Malone at
tempting to run in on the pitcher with Mills
playing the catcher's position close. Thus the
game started with the Mutual in the lead but
they lost it in the next inning, and never after
ward recovered 1t, although they kept uncom-
fortably close throughout the game. They had
expected victory and had boasted that they
were going to put on Martin, the famous slow
pitcher, who had not been hit at all lively this
season. EVERYBODY was, on the qui pive to
see Martin deliver his first ball. and
when few had been sent over the plate it
was acknowledged that he would be a little
troublesome. The Athletic were retired in the
first inning for no runs, but in the second they
got the hang of the "twisters" and hit them for
six runs, Sensenderfer coming all the way home
on a beauty between centre and left fields. Two
fouls and a fly retired the Athletic for nothing
again on the third inning, but they again ham
mered the ''twisters" lively for time on the
fourth inning and secured three additional
runs, Reach scoring homer" But it was
good to see Martin in the fifth inning, when the
Athletics got beautiful range of his pitching
and knocked the balls to all corners of the field
for nine runs, three of which were home runs
one by Reach, one by Malone and one by SEN
senderfer. He was perfectly crestfallen at the
fact that the Athletic should be able to hit him
for eighteen bases in one inning. In the subse-
quent part of the game he occupied a position
in the right field, and Walters, the regular
pitcher, went in.


He proved far more effective, as the Athletic
obtained but q runs after the fifth inning, up to
which time IS runs had been accorded them.
