for about an hour. She got an overdose
of whisky ol uncertain vintage in the
forenoon and she opened her vials of pro
fanity on al! who came in her way. The
air was impregnated with a sulphurous
odor for a block in every direction. Lav
ishing abuse upon her neighbors did not
afford Hannah us much amusement as

A Texas cowboy never cleaned out a

whisking her skirts about in a slyie
and at a height that would have discount

RAVAGES OP’ RICH GIRDS.
Paiutul Discoveries of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The Department of Agriculture is en
gaged iu publishing an interesting work
in regard to the uotiou of birds upon
agriculture. Borneo! the facts contained
in this report aro almost startling in tho r
character. It appears that the rice birds
entail un enormous loss on the rice glow
ers in the South, l apt. Hagood, ol South
Carolina, one of the largest rice growers,
in describing the ravages ol these birds
says: “They come In tue latter part ol
April, when they are known as b. bolmks.
Their plumage is white and black, and
they sing merrily when at ie*l. I heir
tligbt is always at night. In the evening
there are none. In the morning their
appearance is heralded by the popping of 1
whips and the firing ol musketry by tho
bird minders in tueir efforts to keep the
lords from pulling up the jroiui ; i ice. 1 ins
warfare is kept up incossautly until
about May 'Jo, when they suddenly dis
appear a! night. Their next appearance
is In a dark yellow plumage as the rice
bird. There is no song at tuts time, but
msteatl a chirp w hich means nun to any
rice lound iu milk. -My plantation
record will show that for ten years, ex
cept when prevented by stormy south or
southwest winds, tho non lords have
come punctually on the night ol Aug.
-I, apparently coming from sea
ward All night their chirp can be heard,
and millions of the birds make their ap
pearance and settle in the rice fields,
curious to say, we nave never seen this
llighlduring ihedavtune. From Aug. ill to
"■ept. 25 our every effort is to save the crop.
Men, boys and women are posted with
guns and ammunition every little ways,
bin all efforts are only partly successful.
The loss by birds destroying the nee on
my plantation amounts to not less than
$ I.SOU annually,and tho expense ol ammu
nition ami bird minders amounts to $;i,459
more. 1 have known one-half the crop lo
be destroyed by the birds.”

The Game Ended alter Ten Inning* on

for Twelve Ease*—An Off Day lor Both
Team*— President ProudUt nnd the
Deterred havannab-Mempbll Game—
Ml* View* on Base Ball.
The home team and the Nashvilles
played a ten-inning game yesterday.
Neither club won. The score at the end
of the tenth Inning was a tie.
Between 800 and 900 people went out to
the hall grounds confident that Savannah
would win the game. At first
it looked very much that way.
The visitors played loosely and the home
club tiiled the bases in the first inning
without a man out. A balk by Dundon
gave Strief his buse and sent liotaling
home. Field, Collins and Strief were silli
on bases. Sutcliffe (puled out, Field was
caught trying to steal home and Miller
dropped a fly into Marr’s hands, retiring
the side and leaving Collins and Strief on
bases.
After the first inning both clubs played
better ball. Sureve was inclined to be
w ild in his delivery and was not as effec
tive as he bas been. Dundon was not iu
his usual form and diet not have the con
trol of the ball that he usually has.
Shreve was hit fewer times, and yielded
but seven bases. Dundon was hit nine
times safe and yielded twelve bases. Both
box tuen were well supported behind the
bat.
The visitors scored their first run in the
ttiird inning. Dundon was given his Imse
on balls and went to second on a wild
pitcn. Gukisby was at the bat and struck
a grounder to Miller, who threw to hist.
I'wo men were out and Dundon stand
home from second. Everybody thought
Goldsby was out at first and Dundon,
who had passed third, left tho Duse line
and was nearly to the players' bench
when the umpire decided Goldsby sate.
Field held the bail and started to le ad
Dundon off'at home,but was too tar away,
and "Dummy” scored.
Neither side scored again tintil the
sixth inning, when Sutcliffe and Miller
scored lor tho homo team and Goldsby and
Marr for the visitors. Tne remaining four
innings were played without a run. At
the .end of tne tenth inning the umpire
called the game on account of darkness.
There were some brilliant plays on both
sides. Strief played a beuuiifui game at
third and batted heavily. Miller’s field
work was fine, and Arundel, behind the
hut, played an errorless game. Goldsby
did the batting tor tho visitors uud got
five of the seven bases that Shreve
yielded. Umpire Merritt's decisions
were not satisfactory to either club, and
showed plainly tnat fie is not the man ior
the place. There is not a doubt but that his
decisions are made according to his best
judgment and with tue utmost im
partiality, but he tails to keep the run of
the game. The following is the score:

informing Mr. Sneed and Mr. liaas, a di
rector of the Savannah club,to that effect.
Mr. Sneed preferred to go to Atlanta, and
that’s how tho matter stands. 1 think the
Memphis club owes tho Savannah club
gate money and is liable to a heavy line
for disobeying orders. As to who is en
titled to the game the directors must de
cide.”
“What do you think of the base ball
outlook tor another year?”
“1 don’t believe wo will have any more
base ball. The people are tired of con
tributing to it. As for myself, there is not
enough money in Maoon to induce me to
have anything to do with it. 1 will wash
my hands of it another year.”

The Northwestern League clubs are
said to be disregarding their salary limit
and inviting financial disaster by paying
excessive sums to players.
Charleston is playing fine ball. The
club has had hard hick in winning games,
but its players will not bo far down in
the season’s record of individual work.
Charleston has more pluck and go ahead,
probably, than any other city in the South
ern League, and has stood by it-- club
through thick and thin. It deserves more
than it has won.
Someone has collated the following
references to base ball in Shakespeare:
“The nine worthies.” “l’ardon me if I
speak like a captain.” “Will make him
lly an ordinary pitch.” “No doubt but
that ho hath got a quiet catch.” “i’ll
have an action of battery against him.”
“Masking the business from the common
eve.” “Kind umpire of men’s miseries.”
“Must have a stop.” “Had no other books
but the score and the tally.” “As swift
in motion as a ball.” “A hit, a very pal
pable hit.” “It was a black, ill-tavored
fly.” “For nothing can seem foul to those
tnat win.” “Our play is preferred.”
“The base is right.” “ ’Tis time we
twain did show ourselves in the tield.”
“Taste your legs; put them in motion.”
“He that runs fastest gets the ring.”
“Would 1 were gently put out or office
belore I were forced out.”

been before.
The Blue Springs and Orange City

Blue Springs.
It is understood that funds for paying
off the contractors, etc., of the Savannah,
Dublin and Western railroad will arrive
in Macon Friday.
The contract for building both the
freight and passenger depots of the East
Tennessee, Virginia anti Georgia railroad,
at Macon, has been given to Vincent &
Jones, of Knoxville, Tenn.
The Central railroad’s passenger busi
ness this year, in spite of the restrictions
by the Southern Passenger Committee,
has been greater than it has ever been.
The Central has opened up anew terri
tory in South Carolina, and its business
in this direction is increasing rapidly.
The Jackson News says the people in
that section have not been so enthusiastic
on the railroad question lately. The pro
jectors of the road there have surveyed
so many' routes and soeiu to be so unset

have grown weary, and their enthusiasm
is relaxing. .
When the Greenville and Laurens rail
road is completed, which will be about
Aug. 20, it will be the shortest line from
Charleston to Greenville, and the com

about the same time will form the shortest

It is reported, says the Montezuma Re
cord, that a railroad is to be built from
Montezuma to Byronville, Vienna and to
Patevilie, in Dooly county. The same
report goes on to say tbat the scheme is
backed up by the Central Railroad Com
pany. It appears that Dooly, which has
never had any railroad tacilities, promises
to l>e a perfect network of loads. It is
now said tbat the Atlanta and Hawkins
ville road will be built trom Fort Valiev
to Vienna, and tuen on to Valdosta.

The fourteenth annual report 6hows that
the income during the last year amounted
to noarly $72,000, of which over $32,000
were expended, includings6,3oo forsuper
annuatlon grants for old age and acci
dents. This is in addition to the pay
ments for deaths and for the support of
orphan children. The latter especially is
a most beneficent feature. During the
year 51 children were added to the list,
making 265 orphans of deceased railway
men now receiving its benefits. At the

AN ITALIAN’S Is VESA M ENT.
Tho Proprietor of 11 Washington
Street Fruit Stautl Draws $5,000,
Among the many persons made happy
by the drawing of the Louisiana Slate
Lottery on the 13th iust., was Mr. Vito
Dilorenzo, who held one-lltth ot the ticket
77.227, which drew the second prize of
$25,000. The lucky individual presented
the ticket at the office of the company
yesterday morning and was promptly
handed a check on tho New Orleans Na
tional Bank lor tbe amount It called for.
Mr. Dilorenzo, wlio is only 26 years of
age, is a native of Italy and has been in
this city for six year’s. He is the pro
prietor of a modest looking fruit and veg
etable stand at the corner of Washington
avenue and Laurel street, with which he
has always managed to make a comlorta
ble living. His late stroke of good luck,
however, will enable him to enlarge his
business and enjoy more of the luxuries
of life.
Unlike many foreigners, who return to
their native land to spend what money
they may have acquired in this country,
he will continue to make New Orleans
his home. Mr. Dilorenzo is unmarried,
but alter having been so kindly smiled
upou by Dame Fortune, he might now
prove more susceptible to the smiles of
some soft-eyed daughter ot sunny Italy.
Mr. Dilorenzo was met by a reporter
after receiving his money, and a happier
individual than he the scribe had never
seen.—-Veto Orleans (La.) Picayune.
