THE base ball match between the clothing and dry goods men,on Wednes day, was closely contested, and resulted in a victory for the clothiers, by a score of 47 to 42.

PERSONS who, falling Into the error of faith in the smiles of spring, have taken 'down their loves, howl with envy when they see the reflection of a fire over the way, these nights.

IT has become fashionable I a New York and one or two other large cities to publish marriage engagements. Let's introduce the feature in this city. The The columns of The Mall are freely open.

THE new administration coming into control of city affairs proposes to make a elean sweep of the appointed offices, and great is the clamor for the spoils. It is said thero are at least twenty-five ap pllcauts for every office in the gift of the council.

Go TO church to-ciorrow but don't go to sleep the first fifteen minutes of the sermon. Give the preacher a chance to make display of his talent and if he Mis to keep you awake, it will noi be your fault, if you sncose the balauce of the hour.

THE "old scratoh" got iuto tne voters of this city on Tuwday. It is stated that fully one half the tickets were scratched. The party lash lost much of its power, and people voted for thqir lavorites and those they considered the best men, without regard to party—while others voted against their best friends from personal pique.

THE most unpopular man in the bar ber shop to-night will be the fellow who responds to the call "next," and complaoently sits down to go through all the branches of the barber's trade.

His fancy colored shirt was a white one, with a turn down collar which stood op *11 round. His white necktie, was a handsome rich black silk, And he had no cane whloh be carried in his left hand. He bought a banana at the shoe store, and then presented himself in front of Ri|* petoe's White Front grocery store, which attracts the attention of all. Here he saw displayed everything in the eating line that can be bad in this market at this season of the year—all looking so freeh and nice that he ran right home to tell his mother, so as to have something good for Sunday dinner on Monday.

GUESSthe School Board will have to raeindthrt Ofder In regnal to Uniting the High school graduating class to ten. The class, the parents and the friends of the seven left eut in the oold are kicking up a terrible rumpus about It. And, in point or fact, the mode of selection was very objectionable. Let's trot out the entire seventeen, and make the essay or oration of each brief—very brief. Really a bow, a word or two and the gathering in of the boquets, is all that is necessary For, with the rustle of fans, the low bum ofconversstion and noise of out of-place children, incident to theae occa sions, that is about all the audience sees or bears at these annual exhibitions. Let's have th9 the entire class let the acts l*e short and rapid—with very short intermissions for boqoets, and the seventeen can be put through in the usual time.

THE "colored troops fought bravely" —at least many of them did, and now the momentous question disturbing the Democratic ranka Is whether this Mrvice shall be rewarded by the appointment of one or two colored men on the police force. It is said that one or more such positions were promised in case the sacrifice was made. The colored brother sacrificed, and now the c. b. is clamorous for bis reward. Wo all remember the agonizing 'ry the Democratic motto makers used to enwrap the girls In wagons: "8e us from negro husbands!"^" Now those old liners cry

Save uH from l-ogro policemen," but the policy Democrat* insist that ho shall be exalted. It is suggested that two be placed in the Third Ward, where, in case of danger, they won't have far to run to get home. '4

MANY awkward situationagrow out of a failure to "keep to the right, as the law directs." The rule is quite as applicable to sidewalk pedestrians as to travelers and teamsters. Keep to the right if you would avoid the awkwar ness and mortification of dodging half a dozen times, first one Bide then the other, to avoid a concussion. No matter whom you meet, man, woman or child, lady or gentleman, keep to the right side ef the walk. Stick to it, whether it be Inside or outside. If this simple rule is observed, there will be no occasion for dodging, even though the person you meet does not understand it, for if he or she sees you are tnnt on keeping to the right, he or she will keep there also, and thus avoid a collision. Another foolish street custom, one now peculiar only to obscure country villages, is that of changing a lady a gentleman is walking with, from one arm to another, be oause be happens to turn a corner which throws her on the outside of the walk. Take the lady on your right arm, gentlem, and keep her there, and In passing others "keep to the right," as common sense direots, and the lady, at least, will be sure to be kept from contact with others.

LAST Sunday morning, you remember was a cold morning. At about 8 a. m. a solitary man was seen. His nose was blue, his eyes red, his hair the color of hay. His hands were thrust deep Into the pockets of a pair of well worn cassimere breeches, and he occasionly kicked with the toe of a foxy bsot on the door of a Main street saloon. The air, as before remarked, was raw and chill, and he leaned over and shivered like a halfclad Ichoolboy. He was nervous and jerky, and his hair seemed to pull. Wm manner was anxious, intent and listening. Now and then he would give a pleading kick with his unpolished boot, out at the toe and inn down at the heel, and then resume his listening attitude. He kicked and listened, and listened and kicked, occasionally spitting flakes of cotton, but no cheering signs of recog nitlon came from within. An ashen pallor crept over his haggard ifcee, even to the tip of his purple nose, and he gave final kick heavier than before, and tbeu listened again. With a muttered malediction and a look of abject misery be turned away, took a few steps to the west, heard something, turned and retraced his steps, and slid in. Five minutes later he came out, wiping his mouth.

THERE is nothing more tn oot sonance with Christian worship than appropriate church music, that whieh fills the mind of the hearer with relllgloas feelings, and raises his thoughts above all earthly affairs. As much as the preacher—sometimes mora—the organ, with Its various tones, gives out religious strains and movea tha heart to penitence and prayer. All our churches give considerable attention to music, snd recently there has been a great Improvement in this direction—notably iu the Congregational church, where, in addition to the latga and well trained choir, four pieces of brass music have been added. Theae, together with the grand organ, In charge of Prof. Shide, give a volume ef sound and harmony, aa tha anthems and hymns are sung «nd played, that at times rises in sabllmity of grandeur aud majesty, lira ettaoL Is so grand that the audiences seem to reliph more the congregational winging than the solos and quartettes. Indeed, all choirs should avoid «olo and quartette singing as modi as possible. It Is apt to degenerate into a disposition to "show off" tho best singers and to take this important feature of church worship away from the bafetfoe of tha choir and tha congregation. We do not apeak of this with special reference to this choir—bat only of its general tendency.

Wa notice that this choir Is rehearsing for a oonoert to be givan ahortly, when tha brass music will ba augmented to eight pieoes, and a well selected pro* gramme of the choicest music will ba B*
