How the PugiIists Met.


|s From Vanity Fair.l $
Immediately on the stakes being set and the
rope stretched, Sayers, who was reposing ON a
palanquin, made two double summersaults back
ward, and sprang from his resting place, eighty
feet distant, into the ring. His appearance was
gorgeous; and he was hailed with prolonged APP
plause. He was clad in suit of purple velvet,
embroidered with pearls, slashed in with white
silk. On his head he wore cap Of gold lace with
one large diamond, nearly seven inches in dame
ter, at the top Of the crown.
Heenan, who up to this time had been lying in
four-Dost mahogany bedstead, on neighboring
hill. now entered the ring by back door, accom-
panied by Cusick and Macdonald. He was Dress
ed in suit of heavy armor of the fashion of the
first Edward. For head covering he wore bell
crowned hat, presented to him by his grandfather
TO which was attached the order of the Golden
Fleece. Screams of delight from the Americans
went up on his entrance, and he was Immediately
welcomed by our Minister at the Court Of st.
James, Mr.. DIS, in neat speech Of couple
Of hours, and presented with an autograph letter
from the Queen, requesting him to drop in at
Windsor when he got through. After this he
walked over to Sayers, and extending his hand,
said:
Mr.. Thomas Sayers it gives me infinite pleas
ure TO meet you. trust you are in good health
and Heavens benizon be upon you
Sayers took the profered hand, and pressing it
to his lips, answered
~ thank you, my noble friend. am, by the
blessings Of the gods, we'll and happy. May be
allowed to welcome you to this land Of brave men
and fair women"
Heenan bowed low in response, and said, The
day is fair, the morning sun shines brightly DER
the land.n
10 which Sayers responded, g 1t does. II, on a
morning fair as this we cannot fight, then we can
not fight at all. Wilt bet?''
Heenan wiped away tear that trickled down
his manly cheek, and said:
Nay, noble Sayers, have gone my pile, and
have no more to bet.1
Heenan then called cab and went away to his
corner, while sayers, forming procession of his
friends, headed by the Bishop of London Mr.. Spur
geon and the Earl of Beaufort with 81 other noble
men and clergymen, marched to his. From this
spot Sayers with a telescope viewed his antagonist,
apparently with little satisfaction, for Immediately
upon finishing the inspection he walked nine times
around the ring on his head, and came back with
his brows knitted and his mouth shut.
The ring when formed presented a scene of mag
nifeence rarely equalled We can compare it to
nothing but the entry of the remains of Napoleon
into Paris, Or Che coronation Of Victoria in West
minister Abbey. The placing of the men and the
preparations for the battle, brought wildly to our
mind the memorable day Of Waterloo where the
We break off our correspondents letter at this
point, hardly thinking it worth while to give his
relation Of the fight. For the truth Of his report
of the first meeting of the Champions we will
vouch; the public may rest assured it was just SO,

BY MISS MuLoCH.

The tide has ebb'd away
No more wild dashing 'gainst the adamant rocks,
Nor swayings amidst seaweed false that moeks
The hnes Of gardens gay;
No laugh Of little wavelets at their play;
No lucid pools rejecting Heavens clear brow
Both storm and calm alike are ended now.
The rocks sit gray and lone;
The shifting sand is spread so smooth and dry
That not tide might ever have swept by
Stirring it With rude moan;
Only some weedy fragments idly thrown
To rot beneath the sky, tell what has been;
But Desoaton's self has grown serene. ii
Affair the mountains rise,
And the broad estuary widens out,
All sunshine; wheeling round and round about
Seaward, q white bird flies.

Calling, Come thou where all we glad souls be-
o life silent shore
Where we sit patient; 0 great sea beyond,
To which we turn with solemn hope and fond,
But sorrowful no more;
A little while, and then we too shall soar
Like white-wing'd sea birds into the infinite deep;
Till then, Thou, Father-wilt our spirits keep.

married life the stronger will prevails, and that the
force OF will is as strong with the women as with
the men but that it works otherwise to its results
That the power of women is based upon her
thorough perception and appreciation Of the weak

OF cases, are very weak. That positive Law never

GAME OF EUcHRE.--A constable at Williams
port, Warren county, Ind, whilst paying a visit
to young lady living few miles in the country,
lest week, proposed game Of euchre as the even
ing,s entertainment, which Of course was accepted
by the young lady. When the cards were dealt
the young lady proposed syer'' of $50, to which
the constable demurred. The young lady protest
ed that she would never play with gentleman
unless there was some stake up, but the gent still
demurred, when, as compromise, the young lady
proposed that they should play, and Ii she beat
him he would marry her, which the gallant con.
stable couldn't do otherwise than accept AT it
they Went, and the lady proved to be the winner
The constable soon recoected that he had some
official business to attend to- and left with solemn
promise to return .soon.n IA IN Z
Hours flew by, but the constable forgot TO re-
turn. In the morning the young lady, nothing
dannted, proceeded to town, presented herself be-
fore the Squire with an application for marriage
llcense, which of course the Squire refused until
evidence WINS produced proving bona iide asrea-
ment, when 1t was at once issued.
K Hngging the license to her bosom, the lady pro.
ceeded at once to the father Of the young Lotha-
rio, laying her distress before him, and demanded
q fnlfillment Of the contract. The young gent was
not come-at-able.n Nothing discouraged, and
believing that a constable was all honor, and de.
termned to have her stake, she stuck TO her future
father-in-law for three days, without, however
the young man coming to time-when compro-
mise was effected by paying the disconsolate lady
$3.50 to fill the breach. Thus ended the game.
The question is, who got euchred?

The Mysterious I'M urder or Young Woman
at OttumWa, Iowa.

The horrible murder of young and beautiful
girl at Ottumwa, in this State, still remains a
mystery, so far as the discovery for the motive
of the act is concerned. The girl was unques-
tionably from Rockford, Ill. She was from l6
to Is years old, the daughter Of widow woman
probably giddy and imprudent. She wrote
some articles for the Rockford papers-was
thought to have talents and was somewhat infia-
ted by notice and fattery. She put matrimo-
NAL advertisement in the papers, which was an
swered by VIM. Moore, then in Wisconsin, but
originally from Rockford, where his family lived,
which is said to be highly respectable. Moore
went to Pixies Peak last year, and contemplated
going there the present season. This William
Moore, who is said to be a gambler, is unques-
tionably the person in company with the girl at
Oskaloosa, Ottumwa and Eddyvilie. He gave
his name as Moore, at Ottumwa. The descrip-
ton corresponds exactly with that of the man
seen as above. He contemplated going to the
mines in a spring wagon, and proposed taking
along an extra horse to ride at his pleasure.
This is exactly the way the party was travelling
when the murder was committed
The mystery is why, having seduced and car
red off a very handsome and accomplished girl,
Moore should murder her before he had travelled
half the distance to Pixies Peak.-Buriingt0ra
