The Prize Fighters.

The New York Herald, in speaking Of
the prize fighters, says:
Here are two men who have, during q
period Of four months, subjected themselves
TO the severest physical training, and who,
in all that time, have displayed selfre-
straint and a power of control over their
passions which, if exercised for higher and
nobler purpose, might acquire for them a
well deserved distinction IN ~ honorable
field. When We consider that the class Of
men TO which these two belong are Of the
most dissipated habits - men who have al
ways sought the indulgence of their
worst passions, and whose days and nights
are spent in carousing, and IN other carnal
pleasures-in word, whose physical pow
ers develope the worst passions OF human ma
mre-when we consider all this, our wonder
is excited at the singular anomaly with
which we have seen presented in the case OF
Morrissey and Heenan.
Day after day for four months. they have
submitted TO the strict regimen and treat
ment OF their trainers; they have each walk.
81 and run twenty miles q day; they have
abstained from the immoderate use Of drink,
content with the small quantity allowed
them; led perfectly chaste life; they have
gone to rest at an early hour every night, and
have in other ways shown power Of sell
restraint to which we might naturally sup.
pose such men were utter strangers. The
effect Of this high system Of training has
been TO develope their muscular powers, TO
the highest degree, and when they entered
the ring and stripped for the encounter, their
physical appearance, improved as il has
been in this way, showed to how great a
state of perfection such matters have been
brought. Their flesh has been rendered rs
hard and firm and as clear in appearance as
alabaster, and the freedom and play Of their
muscles denotes great activity and strength.
And yet all this is for the brutal, the debas
ing, and demoraliziDg exhibition Of the prize
ring.

That which has been the cause Of degra-
dation aud moral Us well as mental idiocy,
to men Of all ranks and climes, seems to
have been the means Of ruin 10 one Of the
best rulers Europe ever had Late intell-
gence from Prussia announces the Prince Of
Prussia a. Regent. A contemporary says
Of the late King
when he first assembled the throne, he
was an elegant, accomplished gentleman.
His ability, his high moral character, and
his requirements. were known throughout
Europe, aud in Prussia he was as popular
as monarch could be. II has never been
the impression, however, that he was strong
in politics and state matters. The constitu
tion which he submitted to his convoked
States General was not brilliant or
statesman.like effort, and the noisy spirits
OF lS4s, suggested an idea or two for his
reflection, which 80 troubled his nodle that
he took to drinking "Veuye Clicquo,' cham
payne for solace; and he found so much
comfort in that exhilerating liquor, that he
drank himself into an idiotic state. The
last intelligence from Prussia announces the
appoin tment Of the Prince of Prussia as re-
gent, so the King may henceforth keep it
up until as late as she pleases, with never a
care for tomorrow, his occupation now
being only to "guzzlc.'

Espionage Of American school Girls In
Paris

The following extract from recent letter
of young American school girl in Paris,
furnishes an amusing instance OF the appli.
cation Of the French Emperors system:
81 want to tell you Of queer accident
that beiell ny the other day. AS my friend
and were walking away from the
garden o. the Tuileries about six o'clock
and talking about Napoleon First, | saw n
soldier near US, who happened to overhear
the word Napoleon. Whereupon he prick
ed up his ears, pickedup his gun and follow
ed us from there all the way across the
bridge, where we, being little frightened,
took carriage home, lie watched US
some time after, and seeing there was no
thing wrong went back. suppose he
took US for conspirators. You know this
Napoleon has spies at every corner, and if
they hear the name of Napoleon, they i'm.
mediately suspect something Is wrong, and
try to find you out. He Is horr'd man,
as you know, and the greatest coward living.
All these beautiful things that he is doing
to keep his people amused, show us much as
anything that he Is afraid"
