16 SPORTING MATTERS. American Marksmen Win a Victory Over the Irish Team. Brown the Winner of the Internation al Match at St John, N. B. The Kuluals Defeat the V/hile Stockings Yesterday—2 to I. Weekly Review. THE TBIGGEB. A2iziiica>* vs. isisn masks men. New York, Sept. 26.—Tho international rifle tnatch took place to-day at Creedmoor Range. The morning ferry-boats from James’ Slip and Ihust Thirty-fourth street were crowded with passengers to Hunter’s Point, and the trains to Creedmoor we-e so loaded with passengers that Tnany persona were unable to obtain Feats. Tho pleasant weather was the subject of general con gratulation. Tho Range presented a picturesque appearance. White tcuta dotted its surface, and tho flags of various nations were suspended over tho entrance, the American and Irish colors be ing conspicuous. Tbe reserved space extending for about 20 feet behind tbo marksmen was snr ronnded by a rope, and crowding against this wore dense lines of spectators, the Irish clement prominent. In tho inclosuie were the Ameri can and Irish teams and their reserves, scorers, end a few invited guests. M*aj. Leech. Captain c f the Irish team, and Col. Wingate, Captain of the American, were chosen referees, and Gen. haaler umpire. At a quarter past 11 firing be gan at SOO yards range, each marksman having fifteen shots. The shooting was witnessed with ILe most lively interest, frequent bull's-eyes ox citing loud murmurs of applause among the spectators, who atfirst also bailed them by rounds of hand-clapping. At the earnest request of the Captains of both teams these demonstrations were subdued, as having a tendency to disturb tho marksmen. Tbo result of the competition, which lasted an hour and a quarter, was in doubt clmost up to tho clo.-e, when it was found that tho Americans were tha winners by nine points— E26 to 317. The result of the first contest gave great en couragement to the friends of the American riflemen, and many confidently predicted their tncccss in all the trials. The shooting was followed by an intermission for luncheon in one of the tents, when congrat ulations were exchanged, and, in a compliment ary ci»ecch, Maj. Leech presented to the Rifle Association, in behalf of the Irish team, a hand fcome silver rase, as a trophy to be subject to tonnal competition and as a memorial of the in ternational match.

Both teams im mediately moved to the 1, 000-yard range, and the result of the firing hero was favorable to the Irish by four marks, but these later triumphs were not sufficient to enable the visitors to over come their defeat at Abe short range, and the Americans won tbo match, as the following ecoics show: THE SCORE.

Krw Yoek, Sept. 26.—At the Union Grounds, the tenth and larft game of the championship series between the Mutual and Chicago Clubs was played to-day. Over 1,000 persons were present. Much to the surprise of the sporting fraternity, the Western men went in and played one of the best games of the season, putting the endurance and skill of the New Yorkers to a very severe test. The Mutuals started off with ono run, drew blanks in the two following innings, and scored another single in the fourth, after which they could not accomphoh a run around the baseo. Zettlein was very effective, a:.d Matthews gave Chicago ono chance to got a clear hit during the game. The New lork pitcher did splendid work, and in vain were the efforts of the White Stockings to hit him with effect. For a long time it was donotful whether the Clucagos would -get in a single run. Two errors in the seventh inning, and some excellent boat-running by Bevlin. saved tbo W bites a crushing defeat. The resuit showed that Mat thews was more than a match for his Western opponents.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK. BASE BALL. All the clubs have settled down lo earnest business, and seem determined to wind up the rations series of championship games as speed ily as possible. The week just passed has been a lively one with them, something being done every day to shorten the race for the pennant. Monday three games were played. The Athlet ics were successful in a fine contest with the At lantics, defeating them by a score of 9 to 1. The Philadelphias surprised themselves by win ning what seems to have been a good game from the Bostons, the score at the close being 10 to 8 in their favor. The Mutuals and Whit© Stockings also met, ana. in accordance with a precedent established by themselves at the commencement of the sea son. the New Yorkers wore easily victorious, winning by a score of 11 to 7.

The other game was between the Philadelphias and Hartford*; the former club won, —score, 6to *L Another of Tuesday’s base-ball events was a meeting at St. Louia for the purpose of organizing a professional club for that city. It appears to have been a success, os the attendance was large and a majority of the stock was immediately taken.

An Adventure with a lllgamist* Special Dispatch to The Chicaao Tribune. ■JUbb'QCE, la.. Sept. 26.—Some ten years ago a man named Farcll, of tbia place, went to Cali fornia, and soon after married there a woman of some wealth. Before leaving hero Farell be came engaged to bo married to a deserving young woman. A lew months ago Farell re turned here, and sought hia old affianced, whom ho found living’ at Winthrop, in Buchanan Countv, and there married her, regardless of hia having already married a wife iu California. The California rife, suspecting that the absence from hia California homo of her hus band was not caused by legitimate business, sought him here a few dava since, and learned to her mortification that her truant hus band was married to his old love. She immedi ately lock measures to have the faithless hus band dealt with for tho crime of bigamy, and tho proper parens being made ont, four constables went out from Wmthrop to Farell’fl place of resi dence, near there, to arrest him. He appeared to be very indifferent to the situation, and got road’* at once to accompany tho officers, but on getting outside the house ho pretended to have forgotten, or to want, an overcoat, and desired permission from tho officers to let him get iu They acceded to the request. He soon came back, armed with a Colt’s revolver in each hand, and, pointing tho muzzles of them at the officers, commanded them to depart, and they departed.—they going one way and Farell another, since which time no: hing has been heard of the rascals bv either of his wives nor by the officers. The wife proper cays she will never again live with him ; that, from time to time, she gave him sums of money, amounting to 415,000, and will give him no more, but, on the contrary, will cat herself loose from him as soon as the faw can do it.

He came from Saxony, where, according to accounts, he waa a man of great wealth and high position, A revolutionary movement was started, and Les kar placed himself at bead of it. Had the move ment succeeded, he waa to have been placed on the Saxon throne. The revolution waa a failure, and the throne did without Leakar. Worse than that, his estate waa confiscated, and be became an eulo. Ho came to this country, and accepted the exciting career of barber in Allegheny City. A day or two since he became ill, and ho died in such poverty that the authorities will have to burr him. Lea kar has a brother and a son now in Saxony. The brother is a man of groat wealth, and the eon, it is said, is attached to the Court of the present ruler. It is stated that the influence of friends could have saved Leakar from exile, and hie property from confiscation, but be would not permit such influence to be used. Neither would he, in later years, permit bis brother or his son to do anything in his behalf. THE MARRIAGE QUESTION. It is The Fashion! To what a number of weak and immature creations does this sentence stand sponsor, as if it were necessary to have a precedent for every stop m life, and never, except by some fortuitous circumstance, to branch out in any independent line of action. To do as others do, is a groat saving of brain-power in the aggregate,—for it is the first sheep that goes over the fence that does the thinking, and it may bo somo compensation to be a leader even of sheep; bat it is usually given to greatness and originality to stand alone, on the isolated piano of genius. An idea that is at once contagious is seldom good or bepeficial to the interests of its adopters ; and a fashion of any kind that be comes uniform loses its strength by diffusion. The latest apology for the increasing celibacy of the young men of the day is the caption of this article. We have been at some pains to dis cover the deeper meaning, and find it in a plain answer from one of the number : “ The girls are too extravagant. They want fine bouses, fine horses, fine husbands. We can famish the last article fnumerated, bat cot the others. Wo love, but—we do not marry.” Bad Trench philosophy! It seems at first oa if there might be much truth in the statement, but careful retrospection elves another view. This is the ago of embellishment. Rebuilt Chicago exhibits to the world a city of orna mental buildings ; ito hotels are palaces ; its warehouses are decorative chambers of Art; its most substantial building are frescoed within and corniced without. It is easy to assert that tbs money expended in decoration alone would have housed all the poor. Those gilded walls and frescoed roofs are as unnecessary as the lavish burden of Tashion tbe young man dare not assume. Plain wall* would have answered every purpose of commerce; but the eye must be pleased and attracted by an ouiside splendor.— an esthetic taste that really is good for the soul whan properly cultivated. Our churches, open for religious edification and dedicated to the Living God. are models of beauty and lavish display. The fretted roof, the stained glass, the richly-carved pillars, the lux urious and costly upholstery, are all supposed to bo acceptable in the right of that High Divin ity we worship. This extravagance is not born of woman. The purple altar-cloth, with a dead Christ emblazoned in gold, is all right: but the purple covering the shrine of an immortal soul, consecrate with a living Christ within, is all wron*! NoT it is the Divine principle of a Higher Law, ever urging us to something bettor, finer, grander, beyond, that gives to all a love for the embellishment* of daily life. They who live in the valley seek the mountains for purer air and broader snushinc, and they do not disdain the smallest shrub to help them a step higher; so wo may rise by the trivial accessories of circum stance—dreso, fashion, ornament—from the dead level of grosser life, until we reach a point where we can saf«dy do without them, —which will be when we have joined tbo Cherubim I The higher our civilization, the finer our brain power, the more we deteriorate in physical force. Muscle is nearly always cultivated at the ex pense of brain. Tbe young man who wants a hearty, healthy, rugged wife to keep his bouse and bo a mother to his children, can always find her. Such girls do not belong to the past; though, in contrast with the nervous, thinking, highly-trained, intellectual girls of to-day, they are semi-civilized children of Nature; but they exist as much as they ever did, and their superiority consists in their physique, their muscular strength to bear burdens, their contented disposition to do with a little, from a long acquaintance with pov erty, or from a system of training which inures them to denial. Summed up. it amounts to just this : They sic in the dark to save candles ! And they are no bolfccr-temperod, no bonestcr, than the society-girls ; but they tamper not with creeds, —their husbands think for them; and ! they never fall, because they are never tempted. They bring up their children to believe exactly as they do, and condemn everything they do not understand. Their world never moves! Docs the young man who wants & wife of the old-fashioned kind ask to marry one of those ? Never 1 Ho keeps at a eafo 'distance from her, or. if compelled to entertain her, acknowl edges it the hardest work he ever undertook. He cannot compliment her, and she would not understand him if he did. His brilliant prattle about ’ism and 'ologios is a dead language; and ho is not au fait cither in domestic service or church-creeds. “ Marry her!” he gasps, when, bat in band, bo is outside of her doors ; and be plunges madly alter La Belie Hcleuo, who can talk with her eyes, and appreciate bis lightest simper, and yet can walk through an Art-Gallery without a catalogue, and knows all about Darwin and Tyndall. If he wants’to marry this girl, let him reflect that she is having her day,—sowing her wild oats before she is married, in order to settle down and make the best of wives afterward. It will be for him to direct all this superfluous flow of spirits in the direction of husband and home, and to make of the giddy, tempestuous, tempt ing girl, & loving, light-hearted, happy woman. She will soon find other interests 'to take the place of dress and frivolity,—the only features tbo average young man can cither estimate or appreciate at fist sight. That young men do not marry at the same age and'standpoint of life that their father's did, is to be deplored; but they have only them selves to thank for it. An inpocunious clerk cannot live in the same ratio that bis employer does; but the ambition to do so is praiseworthy, and, if well directed, may lead to the desired re sult. It is the selfishness of men that keeps them from marrying, and not any fault in the women, indigenous to tbe times. Well may a woman pause and consider; for, whatever tho result may be, ine cares and burdens of married life will fall with double force on her. It is ex pected that The hen That scratched for oa« c:m scratch for ten ; and if a new dress or a fall hat can compensate for her onerous duties, in Heaven’s name Rive it to her without any comment; she vrill grow indifferent to them some day, when Care, and sorrow, and chlldbirth*pain Have left their traces on heart and brain. I know a family of four sisters and a widowed mother. Tho girls have been admirably brought up. without either father or brother to direct. Thev are thoroughly educated, and are all excel lent musicians. Two accomplish all the domestic duties, while two are engaged in teaching. They etuy at homo, and devote themselves to their mother and,to homc-amubemonts. and the young men all like ana respect them ; but they are all eingle. aud likely to be. They are too steady and sensible to please. They drees in the plain, sensible manner that men rave about, and— despise. They are proud of the fact that they make their own dresses, and do their own cook ing, and can play the washer or Beethoven’s sonatas equally well. The young men admire, and do not marry them. Why ? It's strange, when a man finds a woman Ready made to his style; "Witb a calm, sweet, and modest demeanor, And the ghost of a smile ; TVith hfdr lying smooth on her forehead. Drew close to her feet; With no outward adorning to make her Less primly complete,— That be passes this eiceDerti creature Moet thoroughly by. And allows his faint heart to be smitten .By the glance of an eye; Falls m love, spite of slate-pencil crimpings, Spite of ringlets and bows, — Fr.ll* in love with tho droop of an eyelid, The turn of a nose.

The alkali works in England, which are dis tributed along the Dsnka,of tho .Money and the Tyoe, do serious damage to the vegetation, de stroying the trees and crops in tho neighboring country and rendering it almost uninhabitable. The value of land for cultivation is thus reduc-d, and it is thought that the cattle are injured by* the deposit of poisonous acid on their food. The various manufactures causing these nuisances are those of soda, evolving muriatic acid gas ; of sulphuric acid, evolving nitrous acid ;”of am monia aalts, evolving sulphurated hydrogen, and tue process of smelting cooper, evolving large quantities of sulphurous acid. A bill P roTlJ ‘ l iS for the condensation of these harmful gases, un der the supervision of a Government n _ B P e^ o J’ was read a second time in the House of Loros in the last session, and it will probably become a iaw before long. WOMAN. Eight Connecticut young ladies hare just taken the veil, 'ihevwero hopelessly freckled. —lt is stated that four women out of live stick the postage-stamp on the left-hand corner of the 6D —McHenry Tore, of Portsmouth, Va.. has eloped with hia mother-in-law. Tno daze of Yore will soon be o’er! A Boston court has decicod that if a woman lends money to her husband oho cannot get it hack. This decision will not be now to many wives. . , . . —Sho died for me,” said the young husband when he beheld her dark locks gradually return ing to their original rod. , The oi-Queen of Spain has been reduced to 184 night-gowns, and sho wept the other day when she counted up. An Oriskauy youth »ho sat on the from steps while his girl put her bonnet on. was dis gusted to find that the steps had just been painted. . ... —All-powerful love induced a SL Louis girl to pawn her back-hair so that her lover might have money to bet on a recent prize-fight in that vi cinity. .. . —The Philadelphia Bulletin thinks that it is impossible to make the modem hired girl funny on the stage. The subject is too solemn to be trilled with. —Plain women wear spectacles; handsome women, eyo-glm*scp, a convenient classification for the philosopher. —When a young lady has to stay at homo from a partv on account of ft sty ou her ere, it is use less to tell her that Providence doeth ail things for the beat. —A young lady wants to know why she shall pay $8 for a pair of silk hose, when sho must keep them out of sicht all the tune. —A fellow who hid under a sofa at an informal Boston missionary-meeting, says that the thirty five ladies spoke twice of the downtrodden heathen, and more than 100 times of a now kind of hair-dye. —“ What will not a woman do for tho man she loves ?” asks a writer. She will not eat .onions while going to a party, no matter how much sho loves him. —A dentist hi Wisconsin, who kissed a young lady while tilling her teeth, was called on by h**r lather with a shot-gun. He paid the parent -*SOO not to fire, being extremely sensitive to noise. —Mrs. Lovojoy, aged G3, residing near Bald win City, Kan., gave birth to a boy a few days since. —A Cincinnati man having lost hia situation last summer, his wife took some money she had secretly saved, and started a grocery-store. She succeeded at once, and now employs her husband as clerk at good wages. —Tho Lowell mill-girls have a novel way of getting rid of any male employe who happens to ho obnoxious to them. They rush at him in groups, and kiss him, ard keep up this treatment until tho poor fellow is forced to leave. —A Louisville paper savs that Aunty Betsey Fisher haa twenty-two living children. "When asked by a reporter for some particulars of her mneh-raotberhood, she admitted the twenty-two, but said : “ Don’t publish it, as I came out to Kentucky in search of another bnaband.” —A showman, whoso notices called for a few fat bovs to “ feed his cannibals,” received a card from a man saying that be couldn’t spare bis boys, but he bad a good “ stall-fed mother-in-law*" that ho thought would suit. —“ Dear George, how sweet and wavy that wheat is!” exclaimed a fair young ladv. looking languidly from a car-window. “ Yes, love, how beautiful!” says dear George, more intent on insinuating bis arm around a twenty-four-bone corset, “how like a—a —how like a dweara !” “ How like oats!” retorted a disgusted Granger, “ them’s oats, young man i” —The Pnchcaa of Edinburg has worn all the dresses of her wedding-outfit once, and her sl*- ters-in-law are asking her why she doesn’t make her husband buy her something new. —Chignon is dead. Tho great detiy of the feminine toilet is no more. Paris has given it up for the sake of economy. It was vciy costly. Every year there was taken into Paris 110,000 pounds of human hair in a “raw” or unworked state, —worth £030.000. and to bo made into chignons. Now all that money can bo spent in come other nonsense. —Somebody is responsible for the story that American ladies are becoming more and more in the habit of sleeping in their corsets, for the pur pose of keeping their figures good. If this is true, American ladies will not bo as numerous a few years hence. . —Wo never stand by when a woman enters a hardware store, shuts her teeth together, and in quires the price of “them ’ere iron-bandied roll ing-pins,” without feeling there is rest beyond tho grave for her husband. —A party of sixteen ladies were bathing in a group at Long Bianch the other dav, and a Bos ton drug clerk who stood near declares that the paint and powder turned the water a bright orange color fora considerable distance around. —“Dear me,” said a good old lady who was unable to keep up with her work. “I shad be glad when I get into eternity, eo as to have plenty of time for everything.” —Eaggs pot up too early one morning. and began to scold the servant girl. His little G-rrjtr old, who had been listening attentively during tho conversation, broke in with. “ Father, stop scolding; you needu’t think that Jane’s your wife.” —President Grant imprinfed a kiss noon the lips of a little Massachusetts girl, the other day, whereupon “ Many persons caught her iu their arms and pressed the bps so recently honored hr tho Presidential kiss.” As tho little girl was about 15 years old, many persons ought to have known be'tter. —“Bo you suppose nobody has got a con science but yourself ?” said a vigorons-toogued lady to a severe cross-examining barrister. “ My conscience is aa good as yours, and beit°r too, for it has never been used during tho course of my life, while yours must bo ncarlv worn out.” —“ Don’t be angry with me. darling.” is an ap propriate song for a man to sing after he has blackened both of hia wife’s eyes. It goes to show that he i:i a man of fine feeling. —“ My hand is not a lem *n. nor mv lips deer meat,” as the young lady said to her escort when they parted at tho door tho other night. Why did she speak thusly? —A lady undertook to chase the fiics out of her room *tho other day with a towel-pin, when her husband, darting carelessly in, received a whack on tho head which could ho heard all over tho bouse.
