OUB CHICAGO LETTER.

CHICAGO,

July 29, 1867.

ATHLTTICS.

The professional game of base ball as played by the clubs just now, so given to challenge*, is a modification of the game ss commonly known to boys at college, and in New York and New England to the boyish men, wbo on Saturday afternoons and town meeting days, astonish their sons and nephews with a vigor in batting, a vim in pitching, and an elephantic clumsiness in running, worthy the open mouthed admiration of the win. In essence, however, it is the wellknown game and naturally attracts the attention of the more muscular boys and boyish men who havn nothing better in band than boyish sports. The visit

tbe National Club, of Washington, sig Dall"zed last week in tfce muscular calenjdar and gave the item-gatherers materi al for several columns of very cheap gasconade. On Thursday there was a match with tbe Forest City Club, of Eockford, resulting in the defeat of tbe Nationals by a few tallies—a defeat resulting simply from careless over-confi-dence. The National has played a series of brilliant matches since leaving home, with some of tbe best clubs in the country, and had uniformly won it until it met a rural club pretending scarcely to ordinary strength, and only playing to be beaten by so many victors of BO many honorable contests, as a friondly matter of course. The awkward result was naturally mortifying, and helped to secure tbe splendid victory on Saturday, •when in a stoutly contested match with the Excelsior Club of Chicago, the National made the unprecedented score o! "48 to 4. The vanquished players were so inexorably handled that sis of their nine innings were twisted away before a single tally could be scared. Finer playing of its kind has raroly been seen. All the players in the National, and save one in the Excelsior are amateurs.

THE LEG BUSINESS.

Olive Logan contributes a candid and hulf-way accurate article to the Galax\ for August under tbe somewhat candid title above quoted discouring of the Menken, tbe Black Crook,

genus.

et id omme

She maintains, of course, what

fhe could not in Self-defence do les3 than claim, that there is a ratio of leg-business on the stage not necessarily ruinoas tf the owner of the naked extremities exhibited. She tells truthfully and aptly the sorrows of the star danseu30 and the humbler ballet girl. But sho only tells the half, and the milder half.

Tbis leg business is the overwhelming sensation at our theatres in these dog days. The varieties give a little more leg perhaps'for the money, but if one ma judge at second hand, both the museum and McVicker's give a good deal more than ordinary nerves care to confront The minstrels gave roaring parodies until their Beason closed, and wero less blarnabio because more honest.

In a town like this, where there are so many thousands of the very vulgar, there must of necessity be some pit where these can assemble by delegates at least, and feast themselves upon intellectual carrion. They have the statutory liberty, and the pecuniary ability who shall say them nay "Well, legs are legs and being of Divine formation can scarcely be essentially evil. However, it would seem to a man with brain in his head .s if too much importance might conceivably be attached to members of the body meant to be usoful. indeed, but quite in secondary way. The men and women who go night after night, to sit until 11 o'clock in the midst of a sweltering crowd (mercury 98) to see legs niid nothing else, are certainly willing to sell their money very cbeap.

CHICAGO AND ST. PAUL.

Mr. Bo wen, of the New York

dent,

Indcpen

is a gentleman rapidly acquiring un pleasant notoriety. His Congregational brethren had him as near the denominational heart as the whale for three days had Jonah the reaction moreover is wonderfully like. Mr. Bowen is no longer in the denominational stomach. He lay hard and gave the clergymen a distressing nightmare. He is spewed out —very much out. Because troubles never come but in troops, his general order business, his surprising greed for the getting of gain, and his bold attempt to blackmail Mr. Lockwood because he did not choose to advertise cortain railway bonds in Mr. Bowen's overloaded pages, have come to light, one after another, so rapidly that ull the world is asking: "In the name of wonder, what next?

Mr. Bowen is very sore about Mr. Lockwood and the new paper at Chicago, and the caustic plaster applied last week by the Nation will scarcely operate as nn emollient. It seems the

Advance

has ac

cess to tbe advertising columns of the

Independent,

although "Pilgrinv' was not

permitted to say a word of it as a matter of news in his Chicago letter. Another bubble has burst. The journal that .-t so religious that it became necessary to leave its own church, turns out alrtaly to bu just as pious as tbe average of individuals who sunder ecclesiastical ties becau-e thpro is not room enough in any one deuornisfUion for their exliuberaht spirituality. Chicago and St. Paul railway bonds still live, and will be bettor stock the Independent at no distant day. Blackmailing will do in the

Herald

but scarcely in the universal organ of universal religiousness.

DIXON:

The wheat crop is harvested. Only a small breadth, comparatively^ xrns seeded last fall. Tbe berry plump and good, in many fields tbin on the ground, and the yield un the wholo is below an average of other years.

More spring wheat was sown than usual. Some of it is good and pays well while other field* are light.

Oats generally look-well. Corn is very irregular. Some largu fields are well tended and promise equal to any previous years, while others, plowed too early for the season end planted after the great rains, are in a bad, weedy and bank Ward condition.—Prair**

Death of Joiia tyuiucy Atianiv A colleague of John Quiney Adams thus describes tbe closing scenes of bis life:

I have mentioned the defective ventilation of the hall. It was observed that Mr. Adams dozed more than usual, and I, wbo sat next to bim, saw this fact more I ban any cne elee, and traced it to the warns and confincd air, deprived of its oxygen and breathed hundreds of times. I received from my wifo my daily letters, and ebe cas-ually mentioned having seen a lady friend with tbe autograph of Mr. Adams, I h«d forwarded 8t her request a?ked a similar favor, and aided she should be jealous if denied so desirable a request I turned to Mr. Adams and told kim I feared be had gotten me into a scrape, without telling him how. I read him the part of the letter referring to the request and tbe penalty, and bo said be ''was always getting into scrapes with the ,ladie?, but be would soon seUie that." I laid a sheet of paper on his desk, and be acknowledged it by a nod and I commeneed answering my wife's letters. In a few moments I looked up, and s&w on my desk the sheet, and loaning at it saw "For

Mrs. with the respects of John Adams bowed my acknowledgements, and, folding the paper, continued tbe writing of ray letter. I can not say bow long alter that, but it coulrt not been five minutes, before, looking in front of me, 1 saw men running across the area, a»d was confused. Keeping an eye on tbem, and leaning forward, I did not know what on earth was going, when I foltthe hand of Charles Hudson on my head, with "Why don't you go to Mr. Adams?" and looking aronud saw him leanidg over tbe side of his chair, with his head near tbe floor, when, jumping on my own desk and stepping on to Mr. Adams' I caugkt hold of him just at tho moment when Dr. Fries (recently deceased in Cincinnati), bad him in his arms, and who by running across, and the effort to raise him, seemed not to kuow what to do. I cried out 'Into the rotunda."

We started, and as wo were carrying him, I caught his arm, felt his pulse, and found it was not syncope fainting, as we first thought, but an appoplecti® pulse, strong, full, nnd not forty beats to the minute. I said this and, heard tbe Speaker say, "Won't some one move an adjournment," and preceded by a sofa, and surrouned and followed by every member^ we reached the rotunda, to find it impossible to get breath of air through the alarmed and sympathizing crowd. At this moment the Speaker said, "CarryMr. Adams into the Speaker's room, ani no one go there but the physicians and the Massachusetts delegation." This was done, and after stripping of his coat and opening a vein, sending for cups and leeches, opening all the windows, wo had me to contemplate the magnitude of the invasion, and tho dangers of our friend. Five or six physicians were present and nil ready and waiting to uid. Hot water with mustard was upplied to his extremities, cup3 to the back and neck and leeches to the temples. His struggles wwre ioiirful, ni.d filled all wiih horror, and his -ympu'ihiziitg and bulove-i coNeagues ^ith overpowering sorrow. Hon. Lfctrvial P. King, since deceased, threw himself int^ chiiir and sobbed aloud. RochweHy Hudson, Hale, and others, with the. Speaker, were speechlesss and conapluteiy broken down. In ten or fiftesn nnniHeS: it muy be more or less, as the thru.- passed: rapidly in the presence of death, he soe!* ed more composed, and I thought ho fullowed me with his eye as 1 was passing around, and said so. "Had you not better speak to him will it hurt him—will IL, you think, agitate or injure him?" "Oh! let us hear his last words if it be po^ible, if he can speak," was the desire ,it' all, and placing my mouth to hi* ear, asked him if he desired anything, he hen said slowly, with difficulty, but distinctly ''This is the last of earth but I am content and it appeared by the effort WHS thrown into a tsrriffic spasm, worse, if anything, than any before. How sorrowful then wero his colleagues that veri by such a sacrifice, such a rwcord of a well spent life should be obtained and I could scarcely subdue their condemrm^ tion of themselves—that it was one of tfhe' phenomenon of the disease, and would have happened without the effort at articulation. "Word by word was this taken by Mr. Stansberry, the reporter of the National Intelligeuoer, and they will b» forever an assurance of his fading fucuN,. ties, of his recognition of his departure, and his contentment that it was so. It was as Paul's "I have fought a good fight," expressed in a most subdued and reconciled spirit, if he were content, why should one throb of sorrow, or one tear of regret bo found in those whom he had oved,and from hi countrymen whom he had BO long and ablv'^erved? These words were the last his eloquent tongue evor communicated so as to be understood but wbo can tell or guess what was then passing in that mighty brain whose power and eloquence had enchained tho Senate, and whose life had beon the adegiratjon of his fellowmen.

Oh! how .vain and powerless are all men's friends in the presence of death.— Wo can go to tho shadow and valley, and there we must leave them in the hand* of Him who has promised to comfort tijem with his rod and his staff, and to be with tbom.

Thi3 occurred, I think, the 19th of February, 1858. During the night there was no reaction, no restoration of seasibility or motion in the paralyzed side yet, quiet and absence iroin suffering were appa-ent. For four days, until tho 23d, he continued to breathe." The powers of organic life were strong, and he maintained animal sensibility lor four days after all hoped that he would expire on the 22d, and thus make the day greater in the calendar than before, and it was by old style the 22d on which he died.

The House met every morning aBd adjourned. Men walked through tho entire mighty building on tip toe. No sound was heard in the interior of the Capitol, and every heart felt a mighty man has fallen from Israel, and all admitted tho husbandman must nseds cut down the full, matured, lipened sheaf, which his power had planted yet all felt, how great is our loss how much gr&itor his gain.

THUS

passed from earth one whose

memory will be cherished by many friends, and whose acts fill a large part of tue history of our country. He died us he wished be sbou d, with bis harness on. It is one of the most remarkable eoinoidences of my life that 1 got his lust autograph, heard bis last words, and w'ent. with tbe body, docended into tha vaalt, at Qkiini-y, tne last resting place on earU*. of John Quitrcy \d-aoig.

FOUR

smali boys crossed White rivor

to the SKndSar near Huzlcton, on last Saobath, the purpose of gojng ia iwimming, and on venturing too far ono of tho beys nnmed Bryner, about ten "or twelve ars old, pitted over what is usually called the "jump off/' and being unable to swim he sunk, and on coming to tbe«urftiC6 of the water again called to the other three- one his brother, and the other two his cousins—for help. Beiagf themselves unable to swim they could render bim no assistance, and be ssink again and drowned^ As soon as the news reached town the jjpopie flocked to the river in large numbers, and immeiiinUi search was instituted to recover tho body of the unfortunate boy. tate in the evening, abuut live o'clock, tne body was found some distance below where ho had wont under. Tho grief of tho parents was inoescribable, at the sudden taking off ot their dearly loved child.—Princeton

THE WBOSC SIDE ©F THIi S Ah! don't yon remember, swSct Amy, the talking,

You caused down at Silverdale HaU How men were ail wild to attend you in walkings Or carry your 6ansbaie or tbawl You laughed and you flirted, and were so proTok-

For you reigned like a despot supreme! And issued your edicts—part earnest, part joking—r

From your home by the tide of the stream.

Then you had your favorites, I can't help confessing Though you treated us all as your slaves— One moment were angry, the next were caressing,

More capricious *ban wind-driven waves. 'Twas then Charley Lincoln and I were both Tying

To be first in your love and esteem, $ Whilst swiftly the rosy young hours were flying At your court by the side of the stream.

Tttoi it often occurred in that bright sunny weather That we both were ensnared by your wiles You gave one a flower, another a feather,

Whilst yon gladdened us both with your smilus. At last cornea time of most exquisite rupture— Bew short did that afternoon seem 1— As rosy lips pouted, I made my fir.-t capture.

When I met you alone by tbe stream.

Alone, did I say? Charlie Lincoln had seen ns That he had I could tell by his looki What matter With osiers and hurdks between us,

With a thick tangled hedge and a brook "l'was all one to me, lor he could not come over So h*1 bowed in a manner supreme, And envied the lot that bad cast mo in clover

With himself the wrong side of the etream.

Uow tender and true were those words softly spoken How lovely the light in your eyes How earnest those pledges, ne'er meant to be broken

Those whispers that melted to sighs I No longer mere fancy—my fate was decided phantom, or falry-iiko dream I blessed tbe good luck that my rival bad guided

Thus to walk the wrong side of the stream-

'TWAS EVER THUS.

I never reared a young gazelle ,• (Because, you seo, I never tried) But, had it known and loved me well,

So doubt the creature would have,died. My rich and aged Uncle John Has known me loug and lovee me welL.-., But still persists in living on— i.

I would ho were a young gazelle!

I never loved a treo or flow'r -f':• But if I had I beg to say. The blight, the wind, the sun the ehow'r,

Would soon have withered it away. I've dearly loved my Uncle John, From childhood till the present hour, And yet he will go living on— 1 would he were a tree or fiow'r.

It seems now quite certain that we, with many others, overestimated the wheat crop of Henry county—some of our friends insisting that the crop is very light instead of above an average. We took tbe pains to inquire as to the atriount raised per acre on about a dozen farms near Spiceland, and just about eight bushels per acre—but it ranged from 2J to 16 bushels. Wo aro told that the wheat is better in tbe northern pafty of tbe coun ty tban in the southern portion. We hope so, for it really looks now as though the average-in the county would not exceed, if it roached 12 bushels.—Newcas

tle Courier. THE

wheat which has been threshed in

this neighborhood has not fulfilled the great expectations of the people. So far t,as we have been able to learn, a yield *falls twenty per cant short of the lowest estimates. Mrs Hancock's crop of sixtyfive acres, the lowest estimate on which was one thousand bushels, produced but seven hundred and eighty—twelve bushels.to the acre. Other fields which have been threshei have fallen below the estimate in about the same proportion

^iiteresfhig to Advertisers. The foliowiug extract fiom a report of the proceeding of Un N, ¥.-State Xditorial Convention, olden at Penn Tan, Thursday, Juno 21, Is very significant: "On question of Advertising Agencies, some discussion was induced by a recommendation from tbe chairman of th» Committee on Agencies, that reaolntion be adopted, whereby publishers bhonld no longer be allowed to contract for space to be bllei with short miscellaneous acrertiseuicnts, subject to frequent changes, It was argned hatsu'h a course enabled agents BO contra«tiog to do work at greatly reduccd rates, and tathe prejudice of all ether parties, theflimof George P. Itowell & Co., of Sfew Yori, being regarded as the princip-1 one which bad adopted this system, and Mr. Kowel) being present in the Convcntlr'n, he waji salltd upon to rt-ply to the charge. Mr. 8. 51. Pettengill, also of yew

Tork,

rematked, in substance, that by this system, Messrs. Bo well ft Co., were enabled to contract for business at a much lower rate than he conld do, and damed that tiie publishers should in self defence ceasa to make contracta in this way. Many present however recognised it as an advantage to be able thus to -spose ef a fixed amount o! space to a ri 8pons ble party a definite time, Since t'.ey thui obtained a class of bosio-iss to be Becnred in no oth- wuy, and aa a Inrrj number already hid c.ntrictj of this naturj with which vh°v re sat.sfied. while others had space to Bpare and wer? willing to entertain similar propositions, no actiou taken in the matter."

Ihe cost of the road is estimated by oompetent engineers to be abo.at oce bubdred million dollars, exclusive of equipment.

Prospects for Business.

The railroad connection between Omaha and the Ksistis now oooipLete, and the earnings of tbe .Union Pacific on the sections already finished for the first two Weeks in May were $113,000.

Value and Security of the Bonds.

The Company respectfully submit, that the above statement of lacte fully demonstrates th» security of their Bonds, and as additional proof they would suggest that th« Bonds now offered are.less than ten million dollars on 617 miles of road, on which over twenty million dollars have already been.aspen&d —on 330 miles of this road the cars are new ruauing, and tho remaining 187 miles are'nearly ocMpieted.
