Just fill it up with lies and fun and scan- die, filth and tattle For that's of stuff that takes, and tickles human cattle. Don't dare to call your soul your owi don't dare to take a view.

That isn't in accordance with people's if you do Thev'll call vou "to il and "crank" be cause you have more brains than they, And know more in a minute than they all know in a day. If they contend that black is white, chime in and say it's white: And when vou know they're in tho wrong, proclaim them in the right; And when they all unite to damn and down an honest man, Roll up vour sleeves, spit on your hands and help them all you can. Suppress your noblest thoughts, nor try to elevate the race; Lie down and wallow with them in the mire of their disgrace; And they in turn will honor you by call ing you "the Colonel."

BASE BALL. Manchester vs. Oak Hill. The Santa Fe bull club of this city went down to Manchester last Saturday to play a match game of bull with the Manchester club. The game was culled at 8 o'clock, with Ellsworth Clark of this city as umpire.

Owing to tho poor grounds, which were badly cut up by roads, ditches, the fielding on both sides was considerably below the average, but nevertheless tho game was full of interesting plays. Our boys took the lead from tliu start aud kept it without much exertion. The score stood U(J to 11 in favor of the Santa Fe's. The follow ing is a list of tho players and their positions.

Jafcez Barn-hart, John McFuddea, Will Duiley, und others, were also thero. Jim Kirkland acted as scoreman for our boy aud did his work in good shape.

Mrs. II. W. Fisol and Miss Mina Johnson, of this city, were also among the spectators. Johnnie and Dcry Beach furnished amusement for the whole crowd by their droll sayings.

They make a whole team by themselves. A return game between the twoc'ubs is to be played ia tLis city on ituru.iy, Juno 8ih. We expect it will be a close and ex citing game as both clubs will thun bo in good form. Ellsworth Clark made his debut as an umpire in this game, and although faulty in many of his decisions, he did very well for the first tirao. The Manchester club was fairly outplayed by our boj in this game.

Want of practice w.is the trouble with them. The score stood 20 to 11, and our boys had another inning at bat, which they waived on account of it buingso late. Our boys are luvish in their praises of the way in which they were treated by the Manchester club. They were taken to the best hotels and their every comfort looked after in a way that made their hearts glad. After the way in which they bad been treated at Miltonvale, it was a great relief to once more meet and play with gentleman.

Too much could not be said in this respect, but we will try to show our gratitude, when they come to our city to play the return game. Badger Creek News.
