Star W. Resolute, Of Elizabeth, N. j.


These clubs met yesterday on the Capitoline
ground and played return game. The weather was
excessively warm and this may account for the delay
In the appearance Of the Stars, as it certainly was
uncomfortaby hot to play ball. The game was so
onesided from the beginning. In consequence OF the
poor fielding Of the Resolute men, that but little In
terest was manifested in 1t throughout. An occa-
siona practice which would be more nonored in the
breach than in the observance, is rapidly growing
into regular habit among some Of the clubs, and
particularly with the Stars Of having one player 10
run for another This is positively unfair as the
rules do not allow substitute TO run for player
unless he be sick or injured. Putting such
an active and expert runner as Jewell In
to run for some Of the heavier and
slower players gives them an additional chance
besides tending to create confusion In the minds OF
the scorers and the sooner 1t Is put stop To the
better for all concerned or COURSE the matter rests
In the hands OF the captain OF the opposing team;
bu. he naturally feels disnclnation to make fuss
over what may be termed tribe. Worth and Cum.
mngs made each q home run for their side, and
Beardsley also made one foI the Resolutes. with
such an excellent pitcher and catcher as the Reso-


utes possess in II. Campbell and Farrow, and sucn
ought to look after their other 1elders, ana WORK
them sufficiently ana their record at the end 0l the
season would be much pleasanter Tor them 10 look

This morning the desperate James Parks
assault and battery with intent to kill Henry
Meyers.


The facts of discovering the fellow in the
house of Frederick Meyers & Co., at Carpenter
and Clairmont streets, last Saturday evening
his discovery by Mr.. Henry Meyers, the strug-
gle between the two in the dark, and the
wounding of the latter and capture of the for
mer were given to the court by the witnesses
as they have already been detailed in our local
columns. Mr. Meyers himself appeared in
court with both arms bandaged


Having heard all the evidence, Judge Paxson
directed the prisoner to stand up, and said that
his own confession showed him to be a bad, a
desperate, and dangerous man, and that 1t was
but by the mercy of God that he was not to-day
in the dock to answer the charge of murder
He was very fit subject for seclusion,
and should receive the penalty OF the
law in its fulness. He sentenced
him TO pay a fine of $1,000 and undergo an
imprisonment of sixteen years and six months
in the Eastern Penitentiary, the longest sentence
of imprisonment that has been imposed In this
court since the trial of Mary Reeder.
The prisoner said he was not a bad or despe-
rate man. though he had committed this fearful
| crime lHe had gone into the house for the pur-
| pose of stealing, but he had no intention of
| shooting. He was originally from Cincinnati,
| Ohio, but had been roaming about away from
| home for nine years. He was not sound, and
would ask the Court to direct some learned ply
sician to examine him but half an hour, when
| the truth of his assertion would be established.
The Judge however, said he had acted upon
| no knowledge of the prisoners previous cha
| racter, but simply upon the case as it appeared
| in Court, and could take no further steps in the
matter.

While We are just rejoicing over the re-
turn of silver pieces to our legitimate cur
rency the Canadians are rejoicing over the
prospect of an early radiance of all they
have got. American silver has long been
called nuisance IN Canada. Strenuous
efforts have been made by the merchants
there to get rid OF it as circulating medium
BY resolutions and all other kinds of infor-
NAL enactments. A Montreal priest recent.
ly announced from the alter, according to
report, that fees would be taken in Amer
ican silver only at discount of twenty per
cent, and finally the Ottawa Parliamer,
has enacted that twenty per cent. should
be the legal discount upon it, the half dol
lar passing for forty cents and the other
coins proportionately. We may, then, soon
expect that our silver pieces will flow back
10 abundance to our side of the line, where
they are fully appreciated. Thus it is that
everything combines to bring us back by a
healthy and natural course, to specie pay
ments, without the necessity of any violent
action on the part of Congress.

A YANYEE TRIcK.-0ne of our peculiar,
slab sided, gaunt Yankees lately emigrated
and settled down in the West. He was the
picture of mean man, and as he put him
self to work in good earnest to get his house
TO right, the neighbors willingly lent him a
hand. After he had got everything fixed to
his notion, n thought struck him that be
had no chickens, and he was powerfully
fond of raw eggs. He was too honest to
steal them, and too mean to buy them. At
last thought struck him-he could borrow
He went to a Deighbor and thus accosted
him:


Wall reckon you hain't got no old hen
nor nothin' you'd d lend me for few weeks
have you neighbour"


''I'll lend you one with pleasure" replied
the gentleman, picking out the very finest
in the coop.


The Yankee took the hen home, and then
went 10 another neighbor and borrowed a
dozen of eggs. Ho then set the hen, and in
due course of time she Matched out dozen
chickens.


The Yankee was again puzzled he could
return the hen, but how was he to return
the eggs? Another idea-and who ever
saw live Yankee without one-he would
keep the hen until she laid dozen eggs.


This he did and then returned the hen
and eggs to their respective owners, remark
ing as he did go:


Wall. reckon I've got as fine a dozen
of chickens as you ever had your eyes on,
and they didn't cost me cent, huther."

The Chicago Tribune gives an amusing
account of the adventures of an amiable
old gentleman from the rural districts, who
had been wavering between orthodoxy and
heterodoxy for some time. He came into
the city to hear Robert Collyer preach 1t
was his first visit to Chicago. Stepping m
to North Clark street horse car, he rode out
as far as Turner Hail. where many of the
passengers alighted,. and perceived crowd
of people, and inquired of the conductor if
that was Robert Collyer' church. The con
ductor, at the simplicity of the question,
promptly answered in the affirmative, and
our curious inquirer passed into the Hall.
He saw vast crowd of men and women
sitting at small tables, drinking beer This
rather staggered him for a moment but he
reflected that they were possibly receiving
the communion. So he sat down at table
and looked around him. Presently young
man with white apron came up and asked
him if he had ordered. No, he replied, he
was not exactly a member of the society,
but he came to hear Mr. Collyer The
youth WIFI the WHllC dpioh ctdiSo anu pass

AN EAST INDIA LEGEND.-When the
lofty and barren mountain was first lift
ed into the sky, and from its elevation look
ed down on the plains below, and saw the
valley and the less elevations covered with
verdant and fruitful trees, it sent up to
Brahma something like murmur Of CON-
paint why thus barren? Why these
Scared and naked sides exposed to the eye
of MANI" And Brahma answered, The
very light shall clothe thee and the shadow
of the passing cloud shall be as royal man.
tle More verdure would be less light
Thou shalt share in the azure of Heaven,
and the Youngest and whitest cloud of sum
mer's sky shall nestle in thy bosom. Thou
belongest half to u.s." So was the mountain
lowered. And so, too, adds the legend,
have the loftiest minds of men been DOVER
ed in all ages To lower elevations have
been given the pleasant verdure, the vine
and olive. Light-light alone, and the deep
shadow of the passing cloud, these are the
gifts of the prophets of the race.

WHAT MAKES THE WIND BLow-If the
question were, WHO makes the wind
blow ?'' all our young friends would have a
ready answer; they know that God con-
trols all the forces of nature. But he US
es means. The sunsis his great wind max
er. To understand its action, think of the
air as a great ocean Ike water, but much
lighter, entirely surrounding the globe.
The sun shines upon this ocean of air, and
through it on the earth, heating them both,
and imparting most heat at the earth S sur
face But the suns rays shine more di-
rcctly down on some parts than on others,
and therefore heat them more. Thus, it is
always hotter in the region Of the etfiator
than at the polls. Now heat expands a
fluid, making it lighter, and when part Of
the air is expanded by heat, it rises, ard
the cool, r, heavier surrounding air rushes
in to fill its place, and thus wind is produc
ed The following simple experiment vii
show just how this works.


Fill large tin pail with water, in which
scatter some fine bread crumbs. Place a
burning lamp under the middle of the pail
and the crumbs will soon begin to rise, car
ried up by the heated column Of water, anc

able promissOry note under these stat


utes, when given for the benefit of her

for this purpose; and for no other. 1t
should contain q clause showing her
intention to bind her separate estate,
similar to the following: " And here
by pledge my sole and separate estate

clause will be of no avail unless the
debt for which the note is given was
actually contracted for, orin connection

Why do not the members OF our pro-

one remembers how he put pieces of
cloth, similar i'm texture and size, but
different i'm color, upon fresh fallen
snow in the sunlight, and how he
found the snow melted under the
pieces of cloth quickest when the cloth
was black, less quickly under the blue,

enumerated, and very slowly indeed
under the white. Each days expert

should he porous-should imprison-
that is, large quantities of air i'm its
texture, and serve, therefore, as a very
bad conductor of heat, while, at the
same time facilitating evaporation OF
the moisture from the surface OF the
body. These qualities are possessed IN


the highest degree by white flannel,
and there is no reason that We can
find why this material should not bs
