PRIZE F1GHTING.-AN ESSAY
By ]. A. RARRIs.

The late smill'' between Messrs. Morrissey
and Heenan at Long Point. Canada, Ito which
bleak and dismal spot, to the shame of America
be it said, they were ruthlessly driven BY our
infamous laws, has directed attention afresh to
the noble and muscle developing sports OF the
Ring How that contest resulted, my readers
all know, and presume none OF them doubt
that had the Benecia Boy not mistaken post
for Mr.. Morrissey's ''mug," the result would
have been different I shall always censure the
Hon. Aaron Jones, albeit he is a high-toned
gentleman, for throwing up the sponge at the
time he did Mouissey was nearly as far gone
as Heenan, and the latter should have been
brought to the scratch, and kept there Heenan
should not have peeled unless he intended to
conquer or die. This pretending to be teller
unless you are one don't suit me. Let my young
readers ponder this WELL Morrissey and Hee-
nan are both young and if they take care OF
themselves think they have brilliant future
before them. But to the subject proper;
Prize fighting was an institution as early as
1902 The assertion of Henry Ward Beecher in
a late number of the Independent that the
phrase ''travelIing on your muscle originated
with the Dutch at Tipperary is incorrect VIM
Shakespeare a coiored dramatist of some note,
wrote temperance drama in 1903, while ne was
d student at Oberlin College, entitled "a Glance
at New York" In this drama Lady Macbeth
saws to Claude Melnotte, "Wherefore perspirest
Claude, 'I've been travelling on my muscle
may add that Henry Wadsworth LOngfellow,
the well-known author of Hiawatha and Old
Bob Ridley, while travelling through Greece
with a load of ftin-ware in 1902, also heard this
same expression used freely by the peasantry.
He has made entertaining mention of it in his
interesting Life of the Broughten Chicken, or
the Hero of Hundred Fights"
To further cor vince my readers that the prize
ring was an institution at a very early age
will state that Socrates (Or as he was famiiarly
called, "Sock, y acted as bottle-holder at
very lively fight when he was only l9 years Of
age.
The Prize Ring is new il America, but it
must grow We have no Tom Sayers or Tip
ton Slashers it is true, but we have Hyers and
Heenans,t to say nothing of the many members of
our National Congress who give great promise
of future usefulness in the Ring, and who are
already brilliantly gifted in impromptu fights
Let the friends of civilization not despair of the
Prize Ring in America. No. not despair

OyerhauIing the school Law.

Mr.. Langdon, the rich, bachelor Senator from
Hamilton county, is disposed to make extensive
and radical changes in the School Law, changes
it will probably take some time to get through
the General Assembly, as fortunately for the
future intelligence of the State, the majority OF
the people choose to be represented BY useful
men. who have adirect interest in popular edu-
cation, other than the very unpleasant one of
tax-paying. Mr. Langdon's scheme in brief is
as follows r1s- f-
He wants bill amending the school law so
as to dis peuse with High or Graded schools
to limit the freedom of schools to six months of
heyear-to continue afterthat period by charge
on he oarents, &C., at the discretion Of the To-
cal directors, who shall also have the immedi-
ate charge of locating, and the repairs of school
bouses-to reduce the levy for common school
purposes to one mill on the dollar taxation, and
coufine the township levy within reasonable
boands-aHd in lhe distribution of the amount
collected on the State levy, each county to re-
ceive the amount collected within lis own bOun-
dary. The Office of School Commissioner and
the School Library to be abolished.
Such is BIr LangdOn's proposed Free School
reform! Every mother in the State wou Id

Democratic Confusion OF Babel.

A daily Washington paper called "Tne
States" is understood to be the organ of Sena-
tor Douglas. Its editor, Mr. Pryor, was for
merly conductor of ''The South" at Richmond,
and he was the confidential adviser of Mr.
Douglas in his recent difficulty with Mr.. Fitch.
Well, '.The Statesp of January 26th declares
that there is no longer Democratic party, and
cites in proof of its assertion, the dissension be-
tween President Buchanan and Secretary Cass
on the subject of Squatier Sovereignty, between
Buchanan and Secretary Floyd on the question
of the Pacific Railroad, and between Buchanan
and Secretary Cobb on the Tariff question 1t
SAYS that on no single issue is there concord in
the party, and asserts that the confusion of Ba-
bic was not equal to the present discords OF the
Democracy. The article attracted great atteR-
ton in Washington, "The States" being under
stood to eepress the views of Judge Douglas
The Tribune's correspondent of the 26th writes;
The internal discords of the Democracy burst
forth with great fury in debate to-day which
sprung up in the House on the slave trade. 1t
was the hottest debate of the session, being a
real debate, and not the mere reading of essays,
and ragged almost entirely in the ranks OF the
Administration, the Republicans, with one OF
two exceptions, looking on and laughing.
A leading Democrat, Mr.. Branch of North
Carolina. tried to stop it, saying that, if it went
on, it would lead to something worse than the
the slave trade. He meant that 1t would SMASH
up the party.

The cleveland Runaways.

Robert Holley and Rebecca Rugner, the
Church Sexton and girl who so strangely run
off together from this city, have been arrested
in Cincinnati. They were taken to the station
house, where an amicable arrangement was
made all round
The guilty husband consented to return with
his wife, and the father took the daughter un-
der his care, and the whole party left for this
city on the cars on Thursdey. The Gazette
says:
There was no disposition on the part of eth
er the father or the wife to institute legal pro-
ceedings, and the whole matter will probably be
dropped after their return home. Take it al
together, it was about the coolest exhibition of
detected frailty, and the most easily patched
up, that we have had occasion to chronicle in a
long time.

THE CLEVELAND PRESS
Writing for the Plain Dealer:

Ii is with no ordinary emotions OF pleasure
that the Local Editor of this paper announces
the entire success of one of the most stupend-
GUS newspaper achievements on record. Inns
evenings paper contains the achievement. BE-
low is the achievement. We invite the partlcu-
lar attention of the American people, lrrespee-
tive of party or sect, to the achievement. Otn-
er achievements have been achieved, but they
were as molehills to mountains beside this one
which is undeniably sumner.
In this evenings Plain Dealer the Three IL
gers of the Cleveland Press furnish our column,
for this occasion only, with original commune
cations, written expressly for us. Bonners
hiring the Three Lions of the New YORK Press
to write for the Ledger did not suggest the idea
tous. Far from it. We thought of the idea
long a0o. Besides, our writers are Tigers
while his are Lions. For these Tigers to lie
down together is nothing new, for if they are
themselves to be believed (as we know they
are) thew have been doing that for several years.
That is not the point. The hugeness of the
thing consists in our being able-we, an mex
perienced Young mau and born Of poor but
respectable parents-tc bring these three fero-
cious Tigers together The enormous expense
of the thing-the many sleepless nights we
have passed thinking of the thing-how we
have racked our brain pondsring on the thing
need not be told. Suffice it to say, in the Ian
guage of the Duke of Wellington at the close OF
the Battle of Waterloo, ''THE THING is DID!"
From the pen of the veteran editor of the
Cleveland Press, J. A. Harris, Esq, we have an
able and eloquent essay on "Prize Fighting"
Mr.. Benedict, of the Herald, furnishes US with

which he is admirably competent to speak. Ht
also furnishes US with juvenile poem which

fecting article son the Evils of Dancing" and
