lIEENAN AND MORRISSEY.
The New Tur4; Clipper gives tho following conversation
betwoen Hoe nan and Morrissey:
Morrissey—Well, John, do you think you are able to fight
again?

Heenan—Yes ; I think I can lick any man in the world,
and right on this floor.

Mon'ssey—l think so, too, John ; and am willing to
back you against any man in the world. If you will corns
with me to Paris next spr7ug, I wi►_l put ups2o,ooo in gold
that you can lick Mace, King, O'Baldwin, or anybody N
England or any other country.
lleenan—What's all this mean ?

Moirissey Why, that I would rather have yor.:
friendship than any other living being. I have always
been aga'ust, you unto now, and so long as I was you
couldn't win a fight.
Heenan—Didn't I win the fight with Sayers ?

Morrissey—Yes ; you won it three or for times, and if
I'd been with you they would have had to give you that

money.

Ileeuan—How about the fight with King ?

Morrissey—l knew that you couldn't win that, for
received letters from parties over there long before it ever

camo off.

"A little fur :.her colloquy took place, Morrissey speaking
out candidly, and giving the grounds whereon he knew
how the machine was working, and satisfying Heenan
more than ever that something was wrong when he fought
King."

NEWSPAPERS.—De Tocqueville on his work on
America gives this forcible sketch :—" A newspaper can
drop the same thought into a thousand minds at the same
moment. A newspaper is au adviser who does not requir
