GREAT SUPERIORITY
OiIIiEUFF4 FOR THE CAMPAIGN r
Now tit the Time to Subeeribe I
*TV CENTS FOR THOSE NONTUS t
Press Firwatd toe. Cotmas,
- The political, campaign u • .n which we
are about entering is one of most hum%
tant that has ever occurred - in the State. It
virtually, decides the Presidential contest of
next year, for "as Penmoivarda goes, so goes
the Union." 'The indications on every side
point to a more eneourag,ing prospect for
the success of Democratic principles than
we have had iu,a number of years. Thad
deus Stevens, the great Radical leader, says
Pennsylvania is likely to go against the
Radicals this fall. and he is the last man who
would utter suet' a prediction unless the
signs of the times were so unmistakeably
clear as to alloiv of no other conclusion.
We can win the victory if we use the right
thl exertion, and if Democrats are one-half
as earnest in the cause as they profess, they,
will not allow despondency and in. Lion
again to prevent the supremacy of our prin
ciples.
Determined to do our share in the work,
we have concluded to furnish the Observer
at the following low rate:
One copy, three, months
Five copies, "
Ten cornea,
Twenty copies, "
These prices barely cover the expense to
us, and we are only induced td offer them in
the hope that by the wider circulation which
the paper may secure, we shall be enabled
still timber to promote the cause - which lies
in near to the hearts of all true Democrats.
Subwribers eau comments any lime prerioes to
the (*llion, and may rely upon having the
paper promptly discontinued at the expira
tion of the period for.which they have paid.
At these moderate figures it ought not to
be a difficult task to secure a subscription of
two thousandextra copies for the Observer
between now and the day of election.. We
hope.onr• friends in every ,part of the dis
trict will see the impottance ofobtaining the
widest possible circulation for the.paper, and
go to work at once • to help op the Move;
-neat The emergencies of the crisis de
mand the individual effort ofevery man and
woman who feels-an interest in Democratic
principles. See that your neighbors are
supplied with sound doctrines; andlet them
obtain an understandino- of the issues in
volved in the contest. • Ifthere is a luke
warm Democrat near you, who does not
now receive his county paper, induce him
to itultseribe for it three months at least. It
will revive his zeal in the cause, and may
make of hint an earnest and effective worker.
Furni:4l your Republican neighbor with a
copy, and let him see what the measures of
bi 4 party leaders have done and are doing .
to damage his interests. There are hosts of
Republicans who stand hesitating as to their
duty, and who only need to become thorough
ly acquainted with Democratic principles
and urguments, to become hearty adher
ents of our cause.
Who will be he first hi send us a club of
ten or twenty campaigners? We intend do
lag our full duty in the campaign, and look
to out friends to perform theirs.'

THE GAME OF BASE BALL.
[From the La Crosse Democrat.)
Eureka t
Look at that pair of hands, once soft and
pretty, note suffused with Egyptian blushes.
Then look into those optics and tell us tales
of sympathy. Aud look at that Mount Tom
on our right cheek bone. Base ball ! That is
the row..
It came about„thus.' Sedentary employ
ment is too irksome for the system. The
Doctor said we needed exercise. Doctor
knows. He told us to join a base ball club;
we Joined.., Bought a book of instructions,
and for five days studied it wisely, if not too
well. Then we bought a sugar scooped cap,
a red belt, a green shirt, yellow trowsers,
pumpkin colored shoes, palter collar; and
purple neck-tie, and, with a lot of other dele
gates, moved gently to the ground.
There were two nines. These nines were
antagonists. The ball is a pretty little drop
of softness, the size, of a goose egg, and five
degrees" harder than brick. The two nines
play against cach other. "It was a quiet
game, much likek chess, only a little more
chess than chess.
Thera was an umpire. His position is a
hard one. ,hie sits on a box, and yells
"foul."
I took the bat.. It is a murderous plaything,
descended froni Pochahontas to the head of
John Smith.
- The man in front of me teas.* pitcher. He
was a nice pitcher, but sent balls hot. The
man behind was a catcher. He caught it,
tai!
The umpire said "play." It is the most
radical play I know of, this base ball. Saw
ing cordwood is moonlight rambled beside
base ball.- So the pitcher sent the ball to
ward me. It looked pretty coming; so I let
it come. Then be sent another. I bit it
with the club, and hbve it gently upward.
Then I started to walk to the first base. The
ball lit in the Twitcher, or in his hands, and
ii7zi. .- .l .. r i k r z ..titli fsayOt a fly. alas, poor
how he was making it ; and a mule kicked
me on the cheek. The man said it was the
hull. It felt like a mule, and I, reposed on
the grass. The ball went on!
Pretty soon there were two more flies, and
three of us flew out. Then the other nine
came in,itnd us nine went out. This was
better. Just as I was standing on my digni
ty in the left field, a hot hall, as they called it,
came sky-rocketing towards me.. My cap
tain yelled, "Take it !"
I hastened gently forward to where the
ball wits aiming to descend. I have a good
eye to measure distance, and saw at a glance
where the derolite was to light. I put up my
hands. How sweetly the ball descended.
Every body looked—l felt something warm
in my eye ! !" yelled ninety - fellers.
"Muffin ! h—d ! It's a 'cannon ball !" Fof
,over three days I have had two pounds of
raw beef on that eye, and yet it paineth !
Then I wanted to go home, but my cap
tai a said "nay." So I nayed and stayed.
Pretty soon it was nw strike. "Brick to the
bat !" yelled the umpire. I went, but not all
serene, as was my want. The pitcher sent in
°he hip high. I missed it. He sent.in an
other neck high. It struck me in the gullet.
"Foul," yelled the umpire. He sent in the
ball again. This time I took it square and
stmt it down the right field, through a par.
for window—a kerosene lamp, and rip up
against the'head of an infant who was (mitt
ly taking its nap in its mother's arms. Then
I slung the hat and meandered -forth to the
firatihtute. I heard high words and looked.
When I slung the hat I had with it broken
the jaw of the umpire, and was tined ten
cents.
The glunt ) went on. I. liked it. It is such
fun no run front base to base just in time to
be put out, or to chase a ball three-fourths
of a mile down hill, while all the spectators
yell . "muffin !" "go it !" "bode run!" ."go
round again !" or "go round a dozen times!"
Ban; ball is a sweet little game. When it
came my turn to bat again, I noticed every
body. move back about ten rods! The new
umpire retreated about twelve rods. He
was timid! • The pitcher sent them in hot.
Hot balls in time of war are good. But
don't like 'em too hot for fun. Alter a while
I got a fair dip at it, and you bet it went cut
ting the daisies down the right field. A fat
man and his dog sat enjoying the game.
The ball broke one leg of the dog, and land:
ed like a runaway engine in the corporosf
ty of *the fat man. Ile was taken home to
die.
Then I went on a double-quick to the
field, and tried to stop a. hot ball. It came
toward me from the bat at the rate of nine
miles a minute. I put up my hands, the
ball went sweetly singing Wks way with all
the skin from my palms with it.
More raw beef!, =
That was an awful chap who first invent
ed base ball. It's such fun. I've played
five games, an,d the glowing result!
Twenty-seven doMrs paid out for things.
One bunged eye, badly bring4.d.
One broken little finger. '
One bump on the head.
Nineteen lame backs. . .
A sore jaw.
One thumb dislocated.
Three sprained ankles. '
•
Five swelled legs.
' One dislocated shoulder, from trying to
throw balls a thousand yards: •
Two raw bands, from trying to stop hot
balls.
A jump the size of a hornet's nest on my
left hip, weU back.
A nose sweetly - jammed, and five uniforms
entirely spoiled * front rolling in the dirt at
the bases.
I have played two weeks, and don't think
that I like the game. There is not a square
Inch on, in, or muter me but aches. I sleep
nightir dreaming of hot balls, "flys,' 'fouls;
and descending "bky rockets." I • never
worked so hard since Ruth stole wheat, and
never was so lame since the burning of Lu
ther.-
But I an proud of my pmficieney in the
game. It's tine exercise—a little easier than
being run through a threshing machine, and
not much either. It's a nice me for a poet
or orator—UM make one sore,. beyond all
accounts.
I've looked over the scorer's hook, and
find that in two weeks i've broken seven
bats, made one tally, broken one umpire's
jaw, broken ten windows in adjoining
houses, killed a baby ' broke the leg of a dog,
and mortally injured the bread basket of a
spectator, knocked five other players out of
time by slinging my bat, and knocked the

standing twenty yards from the field, as a

MARRIAGE is, in common parlance, said to
be the making of new ties. , Ponderin on
this subject, I have noted down some ofthe
ties with which I should like marriage to
make me acquainted. Firstly, I should like
to find bean-ty combined with puri-ty, mod
, es-ty, sensibilt-ty and fideli-ty. Secondly, I
should wish to meet with a sure-ty (a certain
ty) which would be a sure-ty, to make -the
marriage tic a du-ty, and securi-ty to socie-to.
For a varie-ty, I should delight in an occa
sional gaie-ty, gravi-ty, lotputei-ty and jolli
ty, accompanied always by an infini-ty
amiabili-ty. Could I find these ties in uni-ty
I think the new tie would indeed prove a
novel-ty, and, I am quite sure, it nice-ty,
which would make life a reali-tv. In such
a case, I should not at all mind giying up the
only tie I have at present, my Tiber-ty.
WRIPPING AS AN INCENTIVE TO MARRIAGE.
—Two weeks ago the minister of one of the
cluirches at Ilazlcworth, Columbia county,
New York, learning that his daughter was
keeping company with a young man he did
not like, inflicted upon the girl a severe chas

discoloring her flesh.. The nest Sunday the

A story is told by a correspondent of a,
Western paper, of the first colored jury em
pannelled under the recent military order in
Texas. An offence having been committed
- by a colored citizen, he was arrested and
brought before such a jury, composed chiefly
of negroes from the cotton fields m the dis
trict, who were duly sworn and one of their
number appointed foreman. After hearing
the evidence and pleadings of counsel, the
jury was charged by the Justice that their
duty was " to find a verdict, and when they
found it to return it into Court." and there
upon they retired to deliberate. In about an
hour the foreinan, whose name was Sam,
returned at the head of, his mates, and the
panel being called, rose and spoke to this cf•
fiat:
" See here, Mr. Court, we's been down to
dat are room, an' we hunta in ebry crack, in
ebry corner, up. chimney an' under de
Etaar, an' can't find anyting dat looks like a
trerdiek."
The Judge then' gravely proceeded to ex
plain to the jurors the nature of a verdict,
awl having apparentlrsucceeded in enlight• • r
ening, their minds, sent them back once more
to deliberate. In another half hoar they again
made their appearance, and Stith, with every
symptom of honest indignation, inquired
thus of his honor:
"Look a here. Mr... Court, didn't you 'pint
me foreman of.disjuty ?" " Yesanr, I did."
"Dat's what I tole dose fools, but dey didn't
got sense enough to know it. I tells 'um what
an' how dis case is an' dey'won't do as I tells
'm. Ain't der bound to do what I say, Mr.
Coort
The upshot of the -matter was that the
Judge finally-sent counsel out with the jury
to help them make up a verdict, and then a
suitable one was rendered.

3larriage Brokerage is a business carried
on to a certain extent in 'all countries. We
have the report that a marriage broker in
England, in reply to a letter from a young : "
lady, said that he had on his list about filly
gentlemen of first-class position, and with
incomes from £3OO tfl 4,000 ayear; who are
anxious to marry so that he can guarantee
a good marriage to any lady. lie adds : "I
will send some cartes de visite for your in
spection. Among my clients are officers,
clergymen, merchants, and
_gentlemen of in
dependence.' Yon tiny depend on strict
good faitli.'l In a pamphlet which ho sends
to the lady, he describes his system and its
.I.le avers that during the last
eighteen years he has married upwardsiof
500 couple hap pity, who, bad it not been for
him, would stillhave been pining in single
misery. Re points out that marriage by ne
gotiation is the rule in most foreign coun
tries, and in all royal families, and urges . that
unions thus brought about are productive of
as much real happiness as those known as
love matches, which young people make for
themselves, in which the motive power is
usually a straight nose, smooth waltzing, a
neat foot and ankle, an exborbitant chignon-,
or a heavy mustache. This broker tells a
very plausible story, but of course any man
in any trade, no matter how disreputable,-
can color it so as to appear well to the
public.
ARE THERE HOUSES IN HEAVEN ?—.in his
novel of "Norwood," Henry Ward Beecher
discourses as follows concerning the future
life of horses
"What do you think becomes of horse.,
Hiram, when they die ?" said Rose.
"Wal, Miss Rose, it's my opinion that
there's use for horses hereafter, and that you
will find there's a horse-heaven. There's
Scripture for that, too."
• "Ah !" said Rose, a little surprised at these
confident assertions, "What Scripture do you
mean ?"
"Why, in the Book of - Revelations! Don't
it give an account of a white horse, and a
red horse, and black horses, and gray horses?
I've alters s'.posed that when it said Death
rode on a pale `hors; it must hate been gray,
'cause it had mentioned white ones already.
In the ninth chapter, too, it says that there
was an army of two hundred thousand horse
men. Now I should like to know where
they got so many horses in heaven If none
of them that die offhere go there? Its my
opinion that a good horses a darned sight
likelier to go to heiven than a bad man."
