fight with Heenan. An enterprising
individual has engaged him for the
season, and proposes to give sparring
exhibitions in the principal cities. He
is guaranteed liberal salary and ex-
penses. Among the fancy" the bet
ting is altogether in favor of Sayers.
Five thousand TO two thousand have
been bet against Heenan by a couple
of uptown gentlemen. The next
steamer will carry cut John MorrisSey
and james Hughes, who each have a
large amount of money to invest
Hughes is Heenan's particular friend,

Should he win, he is determined that
Morrissey shall fight him in England

WHAT Are WE COMING TO ?-EI.oPE-
MENT OF Two CHILDREN On Friday
morning telegraphic despatch was
received at the police headquarters
from Albany, stating that James
Baylis, boy twelve years of age, had
clipped from that city with a girl,
named Ellen ghurrer, aged thirteen
years. They were supposed to have
taken Thursday nights boat for this
city, and the police were requested
to capture them, if possible Officers
Poole and Roach, of the detective
force, were detailed for this duty, but
as the despatch was received some
time after the steamboats, had arrived,
they were unable to discover whether
the runaways had really come to New
York, as was supposed BY diligent
exertion, however, they succeeded in
discovering that the very fast young
lady had an acquaintance living on
the Eight avenue and supposing that
the couple would proceed there, watch
ed the house, and caught them enter.
ing at about six o'clock in the evening
james and Ellen expressed much sur
prise at the sudden turn of affairs, and
did not at all relish the idea of going
to the police headquarters, where they
were taken by the officers The girl
said she had not yet become wife,
though waiting to be one, and sup
posed that for the present she would
have to give up all hope, owing to
the great fuss" her folks had created.
Neither she nor Jimmy" had been
treated well at home, and they hardly
knew a $ae&seF course to pursue than
to come on to 4ssY York and seek
their fortunes together obtaining
three dollars, they started on the .boaG |

for 81, sad haying another 81 left.
After spending all theig money, the
ambitious pair sought out the Eighth.

A RuMoR.-The City of Norfolk
left this port yesterday for New York,
it being her last appearance in these
waters, as she has been sold to par
ties in that city. Silence as to her
next duties has created suspicion as to
what is to be done with her. 1t is
given out that she is to be overhauled,
and her power increased so as to in
crease her speed, bnt what this great
expense is to be undertaken for, is q
question which no one seems disposed,
or authorized to answer. The rumor
on the street is that she is to go to

The Contest in Pennsylvania.

ton in our sister State transpires just
four weeks previous to the Presiden-

contending parties, and many believe
it, Hon. Andrew G.. Curtin, of Gen.

by the State Convention of the OPP

Foster, of Westmoreland County, the
nominee of the Democratic party

mail steamer conveyed to the army in
Africa part of the Cuban contribu-

hundred thousand cigars, together
with an immense quantity of tobacco,
in bales, scraps, and paper cigarettes

Our venerable friend Bells, of the
Democrat, comes out in a very severe
article against the passage of the Ho-

bill, considering it as one of the most
disgraceful acts ever perpetrated in
our State. He says there is but one
course left for our people to pursue
hereafter in regard to granting rail-

GoING HOME WITH THE GIRLS The
entrance into society may be said to
take place Immediately after boyhood
has passed away, yet multitude take
an initiative before their boards are
presentable 1t is great trial, either
at tender or Il tough age. For an
overgrown boy TO go to door, know
ing there is dozen girls inside, and
to knock or ring with absolute certain
tv that in two minutes all their eyes
will be upon him, is a severe test of
courage To go before these girls and
make q satisfactory tour of the room
without stepping on their toes. and
sit down and dispose of ones hands
without putting them in ones pocket,
is an achievement which few boys can
boast If boy can go SO far as to
measure off ten yards of tape with one
Of the girls, and cnt it short at each
end, he may stand chance to pass
pleasant evening, but let him not fat
ter himself hat all the trials on the
evening are over.
There comes, at last, the breaking
up. The dear girls don their hoods,
and put on their shawls, and look so
saucy and mischievous, and unimpres-
sible, and independent, as if they
didn't wish anybody to go home with
them, then comes the pinch, and the
boy that has the most pluck makes
to the prettiest girl, his heart in his
throat, and his tongue clinging to the
roof of his mouth, and crooking up his
elbow, stammers out the words, "shall
| see you home 20 She touches her
finger to his arm, and they walk home
foot apart, feeling as awkward as
two goslins. AS soon as she is safe
within her own doors he struts home,
and really thinks he has been, and
gone, and done it. Sleep comes to
him at last, with dreams Of Crinolne
and calico, and he wakes in the morn
ing and finds the doors of life open to
him, and the pigs squealing for break

says her prayers before retiring. One
night she carried to her room a pickle,
and laid it upon the bureau. thinking
she would eat it after her devotion.
She knelt at the foot of the bed for
the purpose. Peggy entered the
room and seeing her deeply absorbed
thought to improve the opportunity
by appropriating the pickle to her
own use. She had bitten, off piece
and in chewing it, made noise, which
