The Providence have a soft thing to-day at Syracuse. The ChJeaffOi play at home to-day with the Cleveland's. The Chicago crawled out of a very small hole Wednesday. Go out to the Cincinnati Hall Park tomorrow afternoon. Bottom are at Troy, where they play this afternoon with the Trojans.

BnfTalofl and Cincinnati at the Cincinnati grounds this afternoon. The Chicago and Reds will play offa postponed game here week after next. Somebody ought to present pen tie William, our pitcher, with a pair of gold specs. An exenange, with a vipw of petting off Something witty, says base bail games know no bounds. What's become of that bill which was pat before the House to prohibit pool selling in Ohio? The race for the League championship is not yet settled, and is becoming more interesting daily.

The game this at the Cincinnati Hall Park between the Reds, and lluf-falos ought to draw a fine audience. Let everybody go out. We now have a twenty-Hve-cent base-ball combination, Why don't some enterprising cuss get up a ten-cent combination, or a little one for a cent? The Mohawk Browns and Cincinnati Sturs, the would-be champions of Ohio, will come together again to-morrow week at the Cincinnati Hall Park. The Huftalos have been looked upon as a very fine fielding club, hot poor batters It strikes us. also others, that they pound Will, White rather severely.

The Times seems to have a spite against Burdock, of the Bostons. When ever he makes an error this shqpt gives him special notice, but neglects to chronicle his good plays. Charley Hoiitz. it appears, endeavors to please the crowd and even varies from his own judgment to a slight extent in his close decisions while umpiring. This won't do, Charley.

Pay no attention whatever to the crowd. You don't receive your pay from the epectatoxf. The Mohawks Browns will play the Columbian to-morrow afternoon at the Cincinnati Ball Park. The latter club is a strong one and will make a tough fight for victory. This will be the main attraction to-morrow.

Trains leave the Plum Street Depot at 2:30 p. m. The Cincinnati Stars have printing out announcing that they'll play the St. Louis Brown Stockings to-day and to-morrow. The poster reads: ''Brown Stockings," in very large letters, and under this is "of St.

Louis," in small letters. Unless people look at the posters closely they will infer that the Sturs play the Mohawk Brown Stockings of this city. It's a clever trick, but doesn't amount to much. The race for the League Championship lias not changed since our last report, showing the number pi games won and lost by each club. The eight clubs now stand as follows: Games Clulii.

The course over which the race takes place to-day will be up the Kentucky side from the Newport Railroad Bridge to the Pulton Dry Docks, and down the Ohio side. There will he another boat race at an early date. It will be a single scull nice, and there will be three starters. Lou.

In 1-151 Pope (had he traveled in Scotland?) issued a bull, expressly sanctioning damns; for salmon in the Deo on Sundays. The Pope, however, stipulated that the first salmon taken on a Sunday should be presented to the par ish church. Sunday fisMnggcew unpopular. There was a great at Aberdeen Ln 1(08, which was considered to be judgment on Sunday salmon nailing; and tuc ushers were solemnly rebuked. Still the fishingis at the present day capricious and uncertain.

In summer weather the stream will run too shallow for fishing. When the waters rise, the fish rise too, The salmon are curious fish, reminding us of the fables told of the ostrich: when they hide their heads they seem to suppose themselves safe. In these waters the angler can see the bodies of leree sal- moil projecting from sunken rocks, the head being hidden away, and can approach without disturbing them. You may see very flue salmon jn the Aberdeen market which have been taken from the Dee, though the highest prizes of the rod have not recently been taken ti om its waters.

Another Story of Love that was True, bat Didn't Run Smooth. BY THB AUTHOR OF "TWO OLD TALES," ETC. chapter iv. (OtnrearcBD.) "I am not afraid of mamms. She will never be exacting much.

She will study the happiness of all who depend upon her; she only does it almost too much, I sometimes think, to the sacrifice of her own comfort, and to the spoiling of them, and though papa is sometimes so suffering that lie can't help being a little impatient, yet he is a perfect gentleman, you know. As for Lettice Arnold, if ever there was a person who knew how to 'make the best of and sup cheerfully upon fried onions when she had lost her piece of roast kid, it is she. Besides, she is so uniformally good natured, that it is quite a pleasure to oblige her. The only danger between dearest mamma and Lattice will be, of their quarrelling which shall give up the most to the other. Hut, joking apart, she is a vast deal more than I said she is a remarkably clever, spirited girl, and shows it When called upon.

You can not think how diecrcet, how patient, yet how firm she can be. Her parents, poor people, were very difficult to live with, and were always running wrong. If it had not been for I.etticc, affairs would have got into a dreadful confusion. There is that in her so right, such an Inherent downright sense of propriety and justice somehow or other I am confident she will not let Randall tyrrannizu over mamma when I am gone." "Really," said Mrs. Dan Vera, "what you say seems very reasonable.

There are exceptions to every rule. It certainly is one of mine to have as little as possible to do in recommending young women to the situation of humble friends. Vet in some cases I have seen all the comfort you anticipate arise to both parties from such a connection; and 1 own I never saw a fairer chance presented than the present; provided Randall as not too strong for you all; which may be feared." "Well, then, you do not disadvise me to speak to mamma' about it; and I will write to you as soon as I possibly cau; and you will be kind enough to negotiate with Lcttice if you approve of the terms. As for Randall, she shall not be too hard for me. Now is my hour.

I am in the ascendant, and I will win this battle or perish, that is, I will tell mamma I won't be married upon any other terms; and to have 'Miss marreid is quite as great a matter of pride to Mrs. Randall as to that dearest of lnuthers." The contest with Mrs. Randall was as fierce as Catherine, in her worst anticipations, could have expected. She set herself most doggedly against the plan. She hail intended to have everything far more than ever her own way when "Miss Catherine was goue;" and though she had no doubt she should "keep the creature iii her place," and "teach her there was only one mistress here, "(which phrase usually means the maid, though it implies the lady), yet she had a sort of a misgiving about it.

There would he one at her (Mrs. Melwyn's) ear as well ae herself, and at, possibly, her master's too which was of still more importance. And then, "those sort of people are so artful and cantankerous. Oh! she'd seen enough of them in her day! Poor servants couldn't have a moment's peace with a creature like that in the house, spying about and telling everything in the parlor. One can't walk, or see a friend, or have a bit of comfort, but all goes 2up there.

Well, those may put up with it who like. Here's one a won't, and that's myself; and so I shall make bold to tell Miss Catherine. General and Mrs. Melwyn must choose between me and the new comer." Foor Catherine! Mrs. Melwyn cried, and said her daughter was very right; but she was sure Randall never would bear it.

And the general, with whom Randall had daily opportunity for private converse while she bound up his shattered arm, and dressed the old wound, which was perpetually breaking out afresh aud discharging splinters of bone, was easily talked into the most decided dislike to the scheme. Hut Catherine stood firm. She had the support of her own heart and judgment; and the greater the difficulty, the more strongly she felt the necessity of the measure. Edgar backed her. ton.

with all his might. He could hardly I keep down his vexation at this weakness on one side, and indignation at at-eempted tyranny on the other; and he said everything he could think of to encourage Catherine to persevere. She talked the matter well over with her father. The general was the most testy, cross, and unreasonable of old men always out of humor, because always suffering, and always jealous of every body muuence and authority, because he was now too weak and helpless to rule his family with a rod of iron, such as he, the greatest of martinets, had wielded in better davs in his regiment and family alike. He suffered himself to be governed by Randall, and by nobody else; because, in yielding to ltandall there was a sort of consciousness of the exercise of free will.

He ought to be influ enced by his gentle wife, and clever, sensible daughter; but there was no reason on earth but because he chose to it that he should mind what Ran dall said. "I hate the whole pack of them! I know well enough what sort of a creature you'll bring amongst us, Catherine. A whining, methodisticul oldfUiaid, with a face like a hatchet, and figure is if it hud 1,,,..,, Urs.an I I ll.MU.l in a cheap silk, of a dingy brown color, witli cap like grenadier's. Your mother aPO she will be sitting moistening their eye? all day long over the sins of mankind; anu, I'll be hound, my own sins won't be forgoMcn among them. Oh! I know the pious features of old.

Nothing they hate like a pSor old veteran, with a naughty word or two in his mouth uow and then. Never talk to me, Catherine I can't abide such cattle." "Dearest papal what a picture you do draw! just to frighten yourself. Why, Lettice Arnold is only about nineteen, ii believe; and though she's not particularly pretty, she's the pleasantest looking creature you ever saw. Aud as for lieinoanihg herself over her neighbor's sins, I'll be bound she's not half such a methodisi as Randall." "Randall is a very pious, good woman, I'd have you to know, Miss Catherine." "I'm sure I hope she is, papa; but you must own she makes a great fuss about it. And I really believe the habit she has of Whispering and turning up the whiles of her eyes, when she hears of a neighbor's peccadillos, is one thing which sets you so against the righteous, dearest papa now, you know it is." "You're a sauey baggage.

How old is this thing you are trying to put upon us, did you say?" "Why, about nineteen, or, perhaps, twenty. And then, who's to read to you, pupa, when I am gone, and play backgammon? You know mamma must not read on acount of her chest, and she plays 90 badly, you say, at backgammon; and it's so dull, husband and wife playing, you know." (Poor Mrs. Melvyn dreaded, of all things, backgammon; she invariably got ridiculed if she played ill, and put her husband into a til of passion if she heat him. Catherine had long taken this business upon herself). "Does sheplay backgammon tolerably? And can she read without drawling or galloping?" "Just at your own pace, papa, whatever that may be.

Besides, you can only try her she's easily sent away il you and mamma don't like her. And then think, she's a poor clergyman's daughter, tinil it would be quite a kind action." "A poor parson's! It would have been more, the purpose if you had said a poor officer's. I pay tvthes enough to the black-coated gentlemen, Without 'icing bothered with their children; and who ever pays tythea to us, I wonder? I don't see what right parsons have to marry at all and then, forsooth, come and ask other people to take cure of their brats!" "Ah! but she's not to be taken care of for nothing. Only think what a comfort she'll be!" "To your mama, perhaps, but not to me. And she's always the per, on to be considered in this house, 1 know very well; and I know very well who it is that dresses the poor old soldier's wounds, and studies his comforts; and he'll study hers, and won't have her vexed to please any of you." "But why should she be vexed? It's nothing to her.

She's not to live with Lettice. And, I must say, if Randal! sets herself against this measure, she behaves in a very unreasonable and unworthy manner, in my opinion." "Unity toity! To be sure; and who's behaving in an unreasonable and unworthy manner now, I wonder, abusing her behind her back, a worthy, attached creature, whose sole object is the welfare of us all She's told ine so a thousand times." "I dare say. Well, now, papa, listen to me. I'm going away from you for good vour little Catherine. Just for once grant me this as a favor.

Only try Lettice. I'm sure you'd like her; and if, after she has been here a quarter of year, you don't wish to keep her, why part with her; and I'll promise not to say a word about it. Randall has her good qualities, I suppose, like the rest of the world; but Randall must be taught to keep her place, and that's not in this drawing-room. And it's here you want Lettice not in your dressing-room. Randall shall have it all her own way there, and that ought to content her.

And, besides, papa, do you know, I can't marry Edgar till you have consented, because I can not leave mamma and you with nobody to keep you company." "Edgar and you be Well, do as you like. The sooner you're out of the bouse the better. I shan't have my own wav till von re gone, i ou re a sad coax- ing baggage, but have a i your own, Miss Catherine. retlv face of If the debate upon the subject ran high at the Hazels, so did it in the humble little apartment which the two sisters occupied. "A bumble friend! No," cried Myra, "that I would never, never be rather die of hunger first." "Dying of hunger is a very horrible thing," said Lettice, quietly, "and much more easily said than doue.

Oh! pray, if you want be a domestic slave yourself, let mebc no tiintleratice." "A domestic slave! why should I be a domestic slave? I see no slavery in the case." "I call it slavery, whatever you may do, to have nothing to do all day but play toad-eater and flatterer to a good-for-nothing old woman; to bear all her ill-humors, aud be the butt of all her caprices. what humble friends are expected to do, I believe; what else are they hired fori" "I should neither toadv or fialtsr. I hope," said Lcttice, "but as for bearing i pccyiles ill-humors, and being, uow and then, the sport of their caprices, why that, as you say, is very disagreeable, yet, perhaps, is what we must rather expect.

But, Mrs. Melwyn, I have always heard, is the gentlest of human beings. And if she is like Catherine, she must be free from caprice, aud nobody could help quite loving her." 10 II continued. Washington's body servants are not all dead yet. Mrs.
