CHICAGO , Juno 11. [ Special Telegram to
TUB HKK. ] Unfortunate errors lost Omaha
tbo game. The Maroons made the same num.
beret errors , but by Rood luck they did not
provo expansive , while the errors of Coonoy
in the first Inning proved costly. It was n
Rood game , however , and well worth seeing.
The Mm ooiis made eight hits and the
Onmhas iniido the same number , but the
lucky Maroons' hits wore to tuo host advant
age , while the visitors failed to profit by
tliclrs , although there was a double and u
triple among them. The fielding was really
good nnd the game was equal to many that
tbo league considers first class. Hcnglo
made a bad break in the eighth inning , when
ho lot Burns score the only run credited to
the visitors. But for this they would have
bccu whitewashed. Clarke , wlio pitched for
lue Omohns , was released from the Chicago
league team and much was expected of him ,
Ho did not fulfill expectations , however , as
the Maroon batsmen got away with eight
bits , only one being a double. Ho only
struck out three men , while Dwyer struck
out six. The score :

lifo. The ungols in heaven must admire
and wonder. The cynic wants to know
what is gained for any rational being
when a city full of women undertake to
make and receive formal visits with
persons whom for tlio mobtpart they do
not wish to see. What is gained , ho
asks , by leaving cards with ull these
people nnd receiving their cards':1 :
When a woman makes her tedious
rounds why is blio always relieved to
lind people not in ? When she can
count upon her ton fingers the people
she wants to see why should faho pre
tend to want to see the others ? Is any
one deceived by it ? Does anybody re
gard it ns anything but n , sliiun and u
burden ? Much the cynic knows about
it. Is it not neccsbury to have an au
thentic list of pasteboard acquaintances
to invite to receptions ? And what
would become of us without receptions ?
Everybody likes to give' them. Every
body Hocks to them with much alacrity.
When society calls the roll wo nil
know the penalty of being loft out. Is
tliero any intolloctuul-or physical pleas
ure equal to that jamming bo many
people into a honso'Uiut tlieyciui hardly
move , and treating1 tiiom to a Babul of
noises in which no/ ono can muico hor-
bolf heard without prr > uming ? Tliero
is nothing like 11 reception in any un
civilised country. It Is so exhilarating !
When a do/on or a hhntlrpd people uro
gathered together in a room , they all
begin to raise their vbices and to shout
like pool-sellers iiijttjo noble rivalry of
"various langwldgcs , " rushing their
throats into bronchitis in the bidding
of the coiivorbntion'rlng , If they spoke
low , or even in tho'prdinury tone , con-
vorbution would bo topniblo. But then
it would not bo a recmH5onas wo under

Wo train for it in lower assemblies.
Half iv do/.en women in a call" uro
obliged to shout , for just practice , so
that they can bo hoard by everybody in
the neighborhood except themselves.
Do not men Co the same ? If they do , it
only shows that men also arc capable of
the higher civilization.
But does society that is , the inter
course of congenial people dopoud
upon the elaborate system of exchang
ing calls with hundreds of people who
are not congenial ? Such thoughts will
sometimes coma by a winter fireside of
rational-talking' friends , or at a dinner
party not too large for talk without a
telephone , or in the summer time by
the sea or in the cottage in the hills ,
vrhon the fever of social lifo has got
down to a normal temperature. We

way to a real enjoyment of life , and that
human intercourse will throw off this
artificiul mid wearisome parade , and
that if women look back wito pride , as
they may , upon their personal achieve
ments and labors they will also regard
them with UHtoriishmont. Women , wo
read every day , long for the rights and
privileges of men , and the education
mid serious purpose in life of men. And
yet , such is the sweet , self-sacrilico of
their nature , they voluntarily take on
burdens which man have never as
sumed , and which they would speedily
cast pff if they hod. What should we
say of mon if they consumed half their
time in paying formal calls upon
each other merely for the sake
of paying calls , and wore low-
spirited if they did not receive as
many cards as they had dealt out to so
ciety ? Have they not thu time ? Have
women more tirnoV and if they have ,
why should they spend it in this Sisy
phus tabkV Would the social machine
go to nieces the inquiry is made in
peed faith and solely for information
if they made rational business for them
selves to be attended to , und even if
they gave the time now given to calls
they Jiuto to _ reading and btudy , and to
making their households civilizing cen
tres of intercourse and enjoyment , und
paid visits from some other motive than
' 'clearing off the list ? " If all the arti
ficial round of calls and cards should
tumble down , what valuable thing
would bo lost out of anybody's life ?
The question is too vast for the
Drawer , but as an experiment in so
ciology it would like to see the system
in abeyance for one season. If at the
end of it there hud not been jutt us
much social enjoyment as before , and
there wore not fewer women than usual
down with nervous prostration , it would
agree to start at its own expense a new
experiment to-wit : a kind of social
clear ! n g-houso , in which all cards
should bo delivered and exchanged , and
all bocial debts of this kind be balanced
by book-keepers , so that the reputation of
everybody for propriety and conven
tionality should bo jubt as good as it is
now. _ _
General Hhcrldnn.
Chicago Tribune : The grade of gen
eral of the array of the United States
has been conferred upon throe military
men previous to General Sheridan.
Gcorgo Washington was the first gen-
oral. By act of con gross the grade was
revived , in order that it might be con
ferred upon Ulysses S. Grant. After
General Grant's retirement and death
the rank was bestowed upon William
Tecumseh Sherman. General Sher
man's retirement from the army , Han
cock having died , loft but ono living
man whoso military exploits fairly 011-
title him to the distinguished honor of
succeeding to the rank of the three il
lustrious chieftains named , und so fur us
the present generation is concerned the
grade of general will probably die with
Philip H. Shoridan. Of his services
meriting the title there can bo no ques
tion , nnd the universal recognition of
this fuot , no less than the prompt , and
united action of congress in passing
Senator Parwoll'ri bill promoting him to
the highest military rank in the nation
next to that of the chief executive , must
have touched the Jicivrt of the veteran
soldier as he lay o-i his bed Buffering
battling heroically with the common en
emy of mankind. The seono when his
commission as general was brought to
the dying hero of a hundred buttles
was pathetic in the highest degree and
can hardly bo thought of without a thrill
of mingled emotions. In the simple ,
unaffected manner characteristic of him
ho turned hie face to the wall , tears
came to his oyoa , and in a broken voice
ho expressed his gratitude at this last
mark of vonfidonco and nlToction on the
part of liitf Bympufiviing countrymen.
Who bhall say that it did not nerve him
nnow with his contest with death ana
give him a premonition , a liopo , if not
und assurance that ho should live to
enjoy the honor to willingly
conferred upon him by a
grateful mid admiring people ? Certain
it is that ho soon began to rally wonder
fully. At this writing it is , of course ,
impossible to t uy what wfll bo the isiuo ,
but the heart of a nation goes out to the
hero of Winchester und Pivo Forks ,
and its joy at the recovery und restora
tion to health of the general of the
army of the United States , if such event
bo within the providence of God , will
bo made manifest to Phil Sheridan with
a heartiness und bincerity that ivill
more than recompense him for his buf
ferings when lie walked in the valley
of the bhudow of death.

The members of the Connecticut His
torical society recently wont to Myatio
to visit the sconu of the assault of Cap
tain Musou and his Hartford ,
and Wothorsfield troops on the cam ] ) of
the murdorcd Pequods or Poquots , says
a recent issuoof the Hartford ( Conn. )
Timps. That campaign saved the Con
necticut colony. It was in 1037 the 6th
of June and it was the 23th. anniver
sary of that now little thought of but
really momentous enterprise that the
historical society will celebrate by vis
iting the ground where the warlike Pc-
quots wore practically exterminated.
Mason went from Hartford. Ho took
with him a lighting force of sixty men
the larger part ofrHartford. Sailing
down lifty miles to the sound , ho turned
eastward , und in due time companies of
the Pcquots at Groton and Now London
haw the coming foe , and got ready to
give him a warm reception. Hut the
white men sailed by. They showed the
Pcquots that they were afraid to attack
so terrible a foe ; and , therefore , they
had n jolly drunken celebration of this
proof of their unconquerable character ,
while Mason's sails disappeared off on
the eastern horizon , near Watch Hill.
At that time tliero was not u white man
living on the east side of the Cunnec-
ticut river ; from the river to Cape Cod
ullfwns a trackless wilderness.
While the Pcquots wore gathering at
their two forts on u height in the woods
not moro than a mile or so from the
present village of Mystic , to have a
roaring night of it. Mason and his fel
low avengers of their murderous atroci
ties had landed in the country of the
Narnigatibotts , and , aided by guides
from that warlike tribe ( iocs of the
Poquots ) , they moved hurriedly on ,
westward through the woods , to the
camp of Sassiicus and his jubilant Po
quots. The Narragunbctts , themselves
the conquerors of other tribes and the
terror of the Plymouth colony , were
afraid of the bloody Pequots , and on
neurinc the Pequpt forts they pointed
the way for the whites and slunlc back-
Mason fell upon the fee without mercy.
The Pequots wore practically extermi
nated. A remnant of that ugly tribe ,
with the noted Sassucus , lleeing
through the woods , finally reached the
country of the dreaded Mohawks , who
afterward killed Sassacus , Guidad by
Uncas , a Mohogun chief , of Pequo't
blood , the whites got upon the truil of
the main body of the fugitives in Fuir-
liold county , and there WHS bloody work
of it. Uncas cut off the head of ono
chief and stuck it up on a tree and the
place has ever since been called
Sachem' * * Head. It was n dark and
bloody time , but it left the harassed col
ony at peace.

The London Figaro says : The now way
of playing whist duplicate whist as they
call it is already causing the most in
tense excitement in whibt playing cir
cles , und wherever I go , in my whist
playing capacity I mean , I find the pros
and cons of the now method of playing
the game being vigorously nuy , in
boino cases almost fiercely discussed.
The alterations started by Mr. 1 { .
A. Proctor as to "signaling'1
und ' 'echoing" and other modern
doviccs of that kind was mildness
itself compared to that which is raging
ns to the "duplicate whist" which u
wliiht-playing doctor in the north of
London has invented. His "duplicate
whist , " I may explain , eliminates ntu
stroke the clement of chance , or luck ,
or whatever you choose to call it , which
has always been a feature in whist play
ing. For this now you play ' 'duplicate
whist. " Having dealt the cards us
usual , you play them according to the
existing rules ; but then , when the game
is over , instead ot dealing the ciircla
afresh , the same hands which have'just
been played are again taken by the four
players ; A nnd C , however , now having
the cards which 13 and D held ,
while U andD take the hand just played
by A and C. Thus the same hands ara
played out n second time , and a bcoro ii
Kept BO that it may ho seen which pair
of partners has made Iho most of the
cards they have successfully held. And
this process being repented with every
game , the rubber is finally said to bo
u on by the two players who , under the
above conditions , have shown the
greater skill. Skill , in short , alone
tells in duplicate whist , chance having
nothing whatever to do with the result ;
for if ono pair of partners get all four
honors in their hands in the first
game , their rivals will hold them , as a
matter of course in the next. So far as
I can judge , however , duplicate whist is
not likely to bo _ generally adopted in
stead of the ordinary game. The ele
ment of chance which enters into whist
us now played gives it its chief charm
in the eyes of ninny players , who often
trust their luck to enable them to hold
their own with far stronger and inpro
scientific players. Luck , indeed , bcrvcs
not infrequently to make a fair handi
cap out of what would otherwise bo a
very one-sided lace , and though Caven
dish and other whist players of the first
rank arc said to bo ardent admirers of
duplicate whist , I think it will only oust
ordinary whist to u comparatively small
extent.

According to a Now York Trihuno
dispatch from Boston , "E. Moody Boynton -
ton , of Nowburyport , has invented what
is known as the bicycle railway nnd ex
pects to revolutionize Iho entire railway
system of the world. A locomotive ,
which is unlike any heretofore con
structed , is building at the foundry and
machine shops oT Albert RusMJll < fc eons ,
in Newburyport. It isdosignud specially
and bololy for borvico on the new rail
road. The cardinal principle of this
railroad is that the tracks are not both'
laid on the ground us wo commonly see
them. One is laid on the ground and
the other is laid on the inside of a frame
work , which le above und directly over
the lower truck. The engine and runs
have wheels on the bottom and double
trucks above. In this wuy the whole is
steadied on the rail and cannot full ever
nor oil the trade. It is expected that
great speed will bo obtained on account
of the comparative lightness of the
train and also because of the loss of fric
tion , The idea is patented in every
cocntry in Europe , as well as in tho.
United Stutcs and other nations of the
Western Hemisphere. "
