There are symptoms in Philadelphia and other localities of a disposition to give more than usual prominence thi year to the cele bration ol the Nation's birthday. This is as it should 1k and, if it is accompanied by a determination to improve on the usual methods adopted on Mich occasions, may accomplish much good. The Iudcwtidcncc of this country is one of the grandest way marks in the march of civilization, and its proper celebration should foster true iatri otism and a reverence for the cause of civil liberty ; not noisy or Isiisterous. imitations of these.

Last Friday w as a great day for 'Reinedie'' Meyers : indeed, it was a great day r all the ' Maroons," iHs-ause several hundrtsl ol their friends had turned out. when the sun was highest in the heavens and the thermometer marked- HJ in the shade to swelter in the heat just to sis- them "do up" the " F.clipse" team of Meyersdale, but " Ileme die" and Chi had a great deal to do w ith it. The baiting of the home team was strong and their hits well 'bunched." Sam Hus ton's double when three men were on bases was chisTcd fo tlie echo, as was Kregnr's magnificent catch of a hot one " at least three feet over his head.

It was an " otiday " for Zcigler w ho dnipped every ball that came to him on third, but when Huston relieved him the game assumi-d a different asxct and no less than three put outs were credited to thirl. Meyers made several costly errors in picking up the ball, but gave only one man his base on balls and strm k out twelve. . For the visitors Reich on first layed a faultless game aud d-serves great credit for the many put outs he made. Frank Hob litzeil played a good game Is-hind the hat and is credited with tiiris; out of the seven runs made by his team, and made the only three base hit of the game. Stratum sent four men to first on halls and was ruped all over the field. The visitors played a better fielding game throughout than the hone team, and had they been able to bat Meyers would have won the game. Following is the score : fcc'LICK. l K. : B. P. j L I K. C.

The New York Home Journal tells this story of a gentleman decriled as a well know n Rostoiiioii :" This man, now weal thy and enjoying an income of hundreds of thousands a year, recently hud his attention called to the fact that he had among his tenants a family who could not pay their rent, lie went at once to the agent, and asked the simple question : 'Do they owe their rent, and do they not pay ? TI e agent replied that that was about the size of it. ' What are you going to do about it?' asked the landlord. ' Put them out.' was the re ply. ' Iton't you no it,' was the resnsc. ' When I was a poor man, and could not pay my way, the father and husband of that household was my landlord. was in hard lints then, and lie came and told me to pay What I could, and w hen I couldn't to pass it. T haven't forgotten it, though I have pros pered. Now when they pay, all right, take it; when they can't pass it as he did mine, but never ask for it.' And the family has lived for years in that house." - LttteU's Living Age.

On June loth General Sheridan, accom panicd by Mr. Child, visited Grant Hall to insjKi't the oil sirlrait (f General Grant, pre sented to tlie Academy by Mr. t'hilds. 'After General Sheridan had exposed his satisfac tion with the work of the artist, Mr. Chi Ids said. : " General, when you die wc w ill place your lMirtrait.as well as that of General Sher man, liesidc that of Grant. You were so closely allied in life that you should not lie scar.itcd in death. It would Is? very appro priate for you three to hang side by side in this ball."" " Mr. Childs," bluntly replied (Sen. Sheri dan, "if my Hrtrait is to Is- liung in this hall beside that of my lieloved chief, I would like to see it there, and if you intend to do for me what you have so generously done for Grant, it would lie better to do it w hile I am living." - This was said in a bantering manner with no cXieetation thai Mr. Childs would act upon tiie suggestion. After the review, while Sherman and Sheridan lingered on the parade ground waiting to witness the farewell dress jiaradeof the graduating class, Mr. Childs joined them and in the presence of both declared that he bad made up his mind that their jxirtraits should hang with Grant's, one on each side, and requested that each select his artist.
