Candee and others. THIS AFTERNOON'S GAME. There seems to be a strong probability that Buffalo will have a nine represented iu the state league next season. Such a nine will have to depend upon local interest for its financial success of course. No surer way can be found of arousing interest in such a club than by engaging local players.

Though the fact may not be generally recognized, Buffalo has the material for a base ball' club that could compete with any V7. tlll'ti'i tzs.tt.ii express at aH txatsa RAILROAD leave depot, corner Exeharsra 1 Louisiana street on eastern standard tins, rCSAj M.

DuriHg the past week we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Francis Ramacciotti of New York, a manufacturer of pianoforte strings, lie wail returning from a business trip through the west and stopped in Buffalo to stock up the dealers here, also to visit som of his old acquaintances. Mr. R. left Buffalo fcotae twenty years ago.

He was a member of the old Metropolitan Theater orchestra, then under the direction of Mr. Poppenberg, and played the bassoon. At a. special meeting of the Orpheus Singing; society last Tuesday evening, called fr the purpose of receiving the report of music committee relative to seeming a director, Mr. Carl Adam was unanimously elected director for one year.

Mr. Adiirn is one of the oldest musicians in lie came heie in 1850. He was for sixteen years director of the Hederta-fel and for fourteen years presided over the Orpheus, retiring therefrom in UHZ, being succeeded by Mr. Gelbke. The society is now in at flourishing condition.

According to a recent cable dispatch, the directors of the Paris opera house have just made a frule that persons coming to their entertainments shall not be admitted unless tlieyaredin evening dress. The dispatch says that the rule requires "swallow-tail coats. loiV vests, expansive shift fronts and 1 no- jewelry lor gentlemen, and low corsages, short sleeves and no bonnets for ladies." first time of its enforcement nattnall5' caused trouble; but this will be of short' duration, and Paris opera-goers will soon ear full evening dress without a murmur," as Londoners have done for Miss Susan Corey gave a piano recital at the Chapter house Tuesday evening, which was attended by about 100 of the lovers of good music in this city. The selections were all from classic music, and Miss Corey's interpretation of the great masters, showed her to be a brilliant and accomplished pianiote. She was ably assisted by Uustav lfannreuther, whose work was, of course, os tlie highest order.

Aiiss Corey graduates from Stuttgart conservatory when she was but 19 years of age. Her home is in Elmira, but she is well known in Buffalo, her father, William F. Corey, being connected with White's bank. Miss. Corey made her first appearance before the public Tuesday evening and scored a success.

The musical given at the Chapterhouse last Thursday evening by Sig. Belari, assisted by two of his pupils, Miss Sternberg and Miss Sloan was certainly a verybril-laint affair. It was a very interesting event frolh the fact that it was the first appearance rf the two young ladir in public, and also the first time Sig. Belari has consented to'- sing in public. The young Iadjes were in excellent voice and sing with a style and linish which showed that their teacher was worthy of the excellent name he bears.

The following is the programme: Te'l liammenti Sloan and Sternberg "Assisaal Pie I'un "When to thy Vision" Miss Sloan "When to the, Mountain" Mr. Belari and Miss Sloan. 'Aria Miss Sternberg "The Flames Itise" -Miss Sloan Duo from "Faust," Mr. Belari and Miss Sternberg. Duo, from 'Trovatore" Mr.

A Surprise for Detroit A Sew Uuffalo Club-iltall Games v.i.iji The base ball deal whereby the Buffalo club's franchise and plavers were trans ferred to the managers of the Detroit club, continues to be the topic of conversation on the streets. A new phase of the ques tion turned u(i yesterday with the result of making the Detroit men very sore.

At the Saratoga conference all the League and American association clubs sign an agreement not to negotiate or 'contract with any players at that time under engagement, prior to October 20. According to this agreement, official copies of which were sent to all el.rh-j fur the first time Friday morning, the "bis four" caluiot sign a contract with lie troit. nor can anv Detroit players i lay in this city. Yesterday morning the new di-rectors'of the Buffalo Base Ball association met in George II. llughson's olhce and elected ollicerg as follows: President, C.

II. Smith; vice president, F.K.Stearns; secretary and tieasurer, George II. Hughsou. The situation was discussed in an informal wav, but no conclusion was arrived at. The Buffalo people have received their $7,000 and doiii't care much what becomes of their players.

A reporter of the Times found Manager Watkyns, of the Detroits, seated on the grand stand yesterday after noon, looking wlue. "I don't care to say much about ttifs deal," said he. "The Detroits have spe nt lots of money to got these that other clubs were after. Now they all kick mid talk about the Saratoga agreement. never received a copy of that agreement until yesterday, Soden squealed' first; He telegraphed me about the agreement vest rday, and then Mutrie, of New Y'ol'k, made his little kick.

I--suppose can't play these men, but we will i hold them for years if necessary bef'e any other club gets them now." i Asked if thee was any chance of the "big four" being brought back to Buffalo to play the season out, Mr. Watkyn said: "I don't think so. We could gain nothing by it. We can lhake more mon by having those nan standi around our grand stand in Detroit to be Hooked at than by playing them here in Biitfalo. We shall go back to Detroit tonight You may imagine that, we all feel prett sore about the outcome of this thing." PHILADELPHIA DEFEATS BUFFALO.

Less than 200 people were in attendance at the ball game yesterday afternoon. It was rather a stid gathering, and nothing occurred during the game to make it cheerful. Con ay was hit prettv hard, while but three hits were made off Ferguson's delivery. Buffalos only runs were kande in the eighth inning. Davy Force hit Safe and was brought home by onway's drive over the right fence, which entitled the batter to a home run.

the visitors madA their runs whenever they leased and played a fine rieldiug game. cDoiiBm who splayed short was formerly a member of thenTroy club. TE SCORE. Bl'FFALO. Stearns, lb Crowley, 1.

St. Louis Republican. Mr. Lloyd Harris, of St. Louis, contribntea the following from a rather extensive budget of war papers already published: Many of the veterans of the Army of tha Potomao remember the splendid band of the Fourth-eenth Brooklyn zouaves.

Wnerever they appeared in their gay uniform anistart3l one of their inspiring tunes the eff Jet on all the colored servants was electrical day while we were encamped back cf the Arlington our house sable cook had started with our coffee pot in his hand from an onen fire toward, the tent were Hooe and the Plummers and I were waiting h's arrival. Just at the moment the Fourteenth ban! struck up "Dixie" as they were passing by, and away started the cook, still holding the coffee-pot, completely entrance i by the music, and never stopped until the tune hai eniel and he was half a mile from the tent. O.i his return he looked very foolish and ventured: "Captain, wa never hoori such music as dat in ole ir-ginny." The same band united with several others ant made a monster band at McClellaa'i grand review; 100 silver instrument', thirty tenor and ton bass drum ailunlar one leader, fornffi the brighter sature 6f the grandest review ever witnessed in this country. On our way to Fredericksburg, in 1S63 wo had encamped for a day, and lata in t'ae afternoon our attention was attracte I by he mu ic of a band in a grove only half a mile away, who kept playing one lively air for so long a time that some few of us proposed to go over and what the fun was about. At this time was lieutenant colonel of the Harris light cavalry, afterward called by prejudiced infantry "Kilpa trick's thieves." When we reached the grova a very funny sight greeted us.

Tne band was still playing, but nearly exhausted. Kflpatrick, elevated by standing on a barrel-head, was shouting directions to at leat fiHy darky man, women and children, old and young, who were dancing a breakdown in the true Virginia style, tne sweat pouring off from them. The band leader appealed to Kilpatrick in behalf of his wind-broken band, but in vain. "Kii" shouts 1 back, "Play till you wear' the darkia3 out." then yellad to the darkies, "Keep it up, boys and girls, you will beat the band sure." Aye, there stood the man who was afterward celebrated in history, Gen. Kilpatrick, the raider, prompting the most amusing dance ever witnesssJ.

No modern minstrel troupe has ever equalel it. His officers were just as busy as he was, and one of them passed around the hat, to which the spectators responded liberally then, just aa the band blew a last and dismal blast. Kilpatrick threw the contents of the hat among the contrabands. Such a soene; down on all fours, scrambling, pushing, and screaming, until the last silver piece had bean secured. Kilpatriok came down from the barrel, and in his ever genial manner shook hands with us, saying: "Gentlemen of the Sixth, I am glad to see you.

You will excuse this little party, for it is uot of tsn that we have such fun, and at the contrabands." The Iron brigade in crossing the Rappahannock river to participate in the battle of Fredericksburg were hidden by a dense fog from the enemy and one of the regiments, the Twenty-fourth Michigan, who were to receive their first baptism under fire, were marching in front of the old Sixth veterans, colors flying, tha band playing "Hail Columbia, Happy Land," when, alas! the sun appeared, the fog lifted and the train guns of half a dozn rebel batteries opened their work of destruction. Almost the first shell landed in the midst of the band and scat tared them right aad left. Those who survived beat a hasty retreat to the sheltering bank of the river, and brave GoL Morrow kspt his gallant regiment "well in hand shouting, "Steady, men, those Wisconsin nv3n are watching jjou." I do not remember of ever seeing that band in any of the hard-fought battles their regiment afterward participated in. DISORDERS THAT ARE DANGEROU3. Description of Various Diseases of the Heart Nervous Disturbance.

Youth's Companion. The heart is enclosed within a membranous sao (pericardium) which fecretes a lubri- oi.tin fluid to prevent friction botwean it and the chest. Pericarditis i3 an inflammation of the sac It may be acute, or chronic. In both forms the fluid i. altered in character and generally much increased, in acute sometimes to a pint or more; in chronic, it has measured over a gallon.

Of course it greatly interferes with the action of the heart. Tho acute tends to recovery by ab-. sorption of the fluid. The fluid sometimes become purulent, in which case it should be drawn off. The cavity of "the heart is lined with a somewhat similar membrane, called endocardium.

This mambrane, and especially that part of it which forms the valves may also be inflamed (endocarditis). This gives risa to little rouhness3S sometimes as large as a pea; to a thickening and subsequent shrinkage of the valves; to a growing of the valves to the heart wall; and later, to a fatty degeneration and calcification of the roughened membrane. The valves thus become contracted and other-wi-e rendered insufficient. Both pericarditis ani endocarditis are most commonly due to acute rheumatism, but sometimes toBright's disease. Sometimes the muscular substance of the heart is infiamed (myocarditis), resulting in an abcess, or an undue growth of fibrou3 tissue which ws.akens the wall.

In both cae-i death may result from rupture of the heart. The above changes in the valves and other obstructions to the flow of the blood generally give ri--e to enlargement of the hsart. Thi enlargement for a time Is a help, a3 it enables the heart to keep up tha normal flow. But it may proceed so far as to cause a dangerous dilation or thinning of the walls at some part and an increase of the valvular incompetency. Sometimes the muscular fibres of the heart are changed to fat (fatty degeneration), thus rendering the heart very feeble.

Death may rasult from either rapture or paralysis of the heart. Angina ectoris may be due to heart disease, though often -wholly independent of the latter. "When due to it, it involves lia-bUity to sudden death. The great arterial arch leading from the heart (the aorta) may, at some point, become distended into a large pouch (ineur-i-rn). This is liable to burst, or it may become fatal by pressure against the wind pipe, or other vital parts.

In many cases of heart disease the disorder is purely functional Though the symptoms are peculiarly marked and distressing, there is really no organic disease. It is dua to various disturbances of the nervou3 sye- l.tq Kear Enough. Inter Ocean. She Do you mate any reduction to clr Lrallant uia ioniecwoner Always; era you a clergyman's wife?

This piece made an instantaneous success in New York at Ihe most unpropitious season of the year.

The critics pronounced it the greatest piece of acting done in years. The play will be tdaged here with all the original scenery used in the New York production, including the great storm scene, a marvel of stage illusion. Much care has been taken in the selection of the supporting company and wo may expect an excellent production iu "A Brave Woman." BUNNELL'S MUSEUM. The Matlack Combination closed a good week's business atiBunnell's Museum the past week. The plays have ail been well rendered and Mr.

Matlack holds his own in all of them. The present week the management have secured for the amusement of its patrons. Kansone's "Across the Atlantic Combination" a play full of life fun. Mr. Kansone in this piece assumes several characters, and as a dialect artist, and a comedian has won for himself a goou reputation.

The company is a select one, and under the management of Mr. II. Markham. The play is semi-historical in character, and, while it is thrillingly sensational, there is a noticeable polish in its construction that makes it more acceptable than any similar production. It is especially adapted to Mr.

llansone's versatility, and gives him an excellent opportunity to display his power, which the people will recognize withenthu-si-istie encores. He appears in four separate and distinct impersonations an actor whose suit for the hand of the fair Emma Livingstone her wealthy father scorns a colored servant to the party, including his sweetheart and his rival in their voyage across the Atlantic; a German guide piloting the Americans to the Grutli mountains and thence into the camp of the geueral whom the villain has been impersonating; an Irish valet who rescues Emma from the clutches of the fiend in the act of adding murder to his other crimes. Incidentally Mr. Kansone tings numerous dialect pieces, and gives some excellent haractor dauces MUSICAL MATTERS. Current New and Gossip Concerning Music and Musicians.

One afternoon, attracted by the singularly-refined face of a flower-girl passing the Strand, I went up to her, bought soma of her flowers, and asked her to come and sit to me, explaining that I wished to "takt her likeness." She said, rather condescend ingly, that, as her business time was chief! of an evening when the theatres were open, sh3 would consent to do so. The next morn ing, an hour after the appointed tima, my flower-girl appeared. She lookad nonchalantly about her; then, seeing a large mir ror, stood sometima before it in silence, gazed lovingly at herself, and at length exclaimed: "Well, it is a rare chance to see oneself like this!" and turned her small antiqu3 head from side to side, bridling and peacocking with infinite graco. She was shy, and yet defiant. Her clothes hung clo-e'y and yet round her graceful form, showing tha deficiency of un derclothing.

Her head was bare; her beautiful, rusty hair in rich profusion gathered up in a careless knot. When the cold wind blew she drew her ragged shawl over her head. Her ignorance, her knowledge, her audacity were fairly bewildering. She seemed to have no affections, no ambitions. Sometimes she would laugh, as if born to do nothing else, but with a melancholy look in her eyes.

This young forsaken thing lived alono in a room she paid for by the week. She liksd to stay in bed till 10 or 11 in tha irning, though on market days it was necessary to ho ok o.r t. rij to buy flowers. These she arranged as tastefully as possible with wire, leaves ani fern, placing them in a light, flat basket filled with moss, which is usually carried tilted on the palm of the hand. In the afternoon she took up her stand at tha entrance to some restaurant in the Strand or by the approaches to Charing Cross station.

As soon as the theatres opened she hovered about the entrances, but on wet nights no one would linger to buy "button holei." People only thought of hurrving into or away from the theaters, so the unsoli flowers had to be carried homo and kept fresh, if possible, to be palmed off, when they seomed withered, in dark corners of the street, "not too near the street lamp-." The girl could read, she said, but "didn't hold to book-." Ladies never gave her any thing she cared to it "was always "goody rubbish they wouldn't so much as look at theirsels." She ued sometimes to attend a sewing-class, where ladiea cam to road aloud twice a week, "but it was heavy reading." Once an old gentleman "preached" about scarlet fever and what pxir people should do; "but there wasn't much sense in what ho said," was her only comment. One of the greate-t pleasures, she confes-ed, was looking in at tha shop windows, especially the jjwelers' shops in the Strand. Lockets, ear-rings and bracelets she spoke of with something liks fervor. The photographs of actresses, professional beauties and the royalties seemed also a source of unfailing interest. "I don't think much of Mrs.

Lang-try; I know plenty of girls about the market quit9 as well-looking, though not so stylish." Grant and Ills Staff. W. A. Croffut's Letter. To my inquiry about the labors of Grant's staff.

Gen. Horace Porter said "Grant never dictated his orders; he always wrote them with his own hand in a manifold book he had. When one of the staff would say, 'Let me write that out, he would decline, saying: "No; this order may involve the lives of thousands of men, and if there is any mistake made on account of tha wording of it I must bear the His powers of concentration were very great. He could write just as readily and clearly with a room full of people talking, laughing, joking and telling stories as if ho were alone. In fact a racket seemed to stimulate him to better No noise could distract him or turn him from his subject.

His mind seemei, like Napoleon's, to constructed on the principle of that patent bureau, of which, if one drawer was opened, the others were always closed." Inquiring again what the staff found to do if Grant did so much of the work himself Gen. Porter replied "Oh, yes we had plenty to do, I assure you. There were twelve of us, and we were given great discretion 'frith regard to emergencies when we could not consult him. As a rule each of tis carried his orders to a certain part of the field, and he. tried to make us so thoroughly familiar with his plans and purposes that he could trust us to carry them cut.

For instance, if an emergency occurred In any part of the line requiring instant action, and he coull not be consulted in tima, we were authorized to issue orders to division and corps, commanders and sign hi-j name to them He never went back on us, either. Sometimes he superseded or modified our orders, but i never heard of hi blaming any member of his staff for usiug unwisely the authority with which he had Clothed, us. You see soma 6uch arrangement was necessary, for our line of battle was thirty miles long. Each of us had ten or twelve orderlies, and, of course, we sent back bulletins to Grant as often a4 possible. He was a man of great ingenuity and resources.

He adapted his methods to American warfare. The notion that Grant was a criide and clumsy fighter, or, a3 his enemies called him, a Hammerer, succesiing not by finesse but by brutal pounding on one spot, is a false one. It probably originated in the fact that hia qualities 'generally shone more brilliantly in the presence ofthe enemy." I Confederate ColonUts.
