Another Brutal Prize Fisbt-Eighty-three
Rounds Fought. . b.

On Tuesday morning, soon after four
o'clock, bloody prize fight came off in In
diana, near New Albany, on the shores of
Silver Creek. The principals, says the Lou
isville Courier, were Robert Rollins, alias
Flying Dutchman, and John Welch, the Wild
Irishman, from New Orleans. The latter had
sent formal challenge to the former to meet
and fight him pitched battle in accordance
with the rules of the London ring, for what
ever purse of money could be made up, or for
whit of cigar, and pure love of the sport
The challenge was promptly accepted by
Flying Dutchman, who agreed to meet and
fight him to see who was the best man. He
was seconded by Jack Sanders, the London
Pet and Welch was groomed by Dublin
Tricks No. 2. They met across the river and
fought eighty-three rounds, the Flying
Dutchman proving to be the conqueror in
one hour and ffty-seyen minutes. His
weight was one hundred and sixty-six
pounds, while the other pulled down one
hundred and seventy-one. Neither was in
good condition, but made a hard and bloody
fight. The Flying Dutchman claimed the
first blood, and Welch made the first knock
down. In fact he had the best of it in the
first fifteen rounds flooring the Dutchman
every time, and battering his face awfully
The latter in turn sent the Wild Irishman to
grass forty-seven times, inficting terrible
body blows, and after the eighty-three rounds
Welsh refused to again come to time, and
Rollins was declared the victor. The parties
are reposing on their wounds at Portland.

An Unenviable Description of Hon. Caleb
WrW Cushing, ,

Occasional" writing from Washington
City to the Philadelphia Press, deyotes a
paragraph to Caleb Cushing, saying that all
the delegates arriving from Charleston unite
in censure of the presiding officer, and that
his whole bearing was that of a partial par
tisan, bound to Jefferson Davis. The writer
calls to mind the time when Mr.. Cushing was
a vigorous opponent of the slave power,
quotes from speech made by him in the
House of Representatives in 1886, wherein he
argued against the admission Of Arkansas
into the Union, because her constitution pro-
his admission into the Democratic ranks his
steady effort has been to show his contempt
for the feelings of his own people, and to
court the extreme pro-slayery oligarehy. The
following is the summing-up: 7a, Lga..h
Caleb Cushing is a politician Of the Ma
chiavellian school. He is one of those in
stances in which the brain is so cultivated
that the heart is forgotten. Superior in in
tellect--a splendid orator, a powerful writer,
a fine lawyer, linguist, a Rtterdtetfr, a legis-
lator, and something of a soldier-his opin-
ions are rarely convictions, and his politics
almost wholly personal. If such a man could
be trusted, he would be a public benefactor.
But God has willed it otherwise. Had Cush-
ing gone to Charleston true to his deelara-
tions when he had no reason to be otherwise
than sinoerel he would either have made
Douglas President, or would himself have
carried off the. tempting prize. But actu-
ated, Heaven knows by what purpose, he
took the other side, and much Of the dissen-
sion that has befallen our great party is justly
chargeable upon him. .sr.Ir. 1l ID ~ (.

, The supreme Purpose. Of Mon.

Henry Ward Beecher, in a recent sermon
remarked: In
We see supreme purposes which men have
formed running through their whole career
in this world. A young man means to be a
civil engineer. That is the thing to which
his mind is made up; not his fathers mind
perhaps, but his. He feels his adaptation to
that calling, and his drawings toward it. He
is young, forgetful, inexperienced, accessible
to youthful sympathies, and is frequently
drawn aside from his life purpose. To-day he
attends picnic. Next week he devotes a
day to some other excursion. Occasionally
he loses day in consequence of fatigue
caused by overaetion.H Thus there is link
knocked out of the chain of this week, and a
link knocked out of the chain of that week.
And in the course of the summer he takes a
whole week, or fortnight, out of that pur-
pose. Yet, there is the thing in his mind
whether he sleeps or wakes. If you had
asked him month ago what he meant to be
in life, he would have replied. ~ mean to be
a civil engineer And if you ask him to-day
what has been the tendency of his life, he will
say, Il have been preparing myself to be a
civil engineer" Ifhe waits and does moth
ing, the reason is that he wants an opportu-
nifty to carry out his purpose. That purpose
governs his course, and he will not engage in
anything that would conflict with it. q
These generic purposes in the soul are like
those great invisible laws of nature, whose
effects are seen in the moving of the heav-
enly bodies, in the falling of the pebble-stone,
in all the various changes which natural OBJ
jects undergo. When a man has formed in
his mind agreat sovereign purpose, il governs
his conduct, as law of nature governs the
operation of physical things. p siH 'T I'd.

A YOune Woman Sues an Old widower for
Breach Of Promise = Verdict Given for

n Iouub w OWbn SucB an via WluOWeF
Breach Of Promise = Verdict Given for
$4,000, u. .....,......
The case of Sarah H. Travis vs. Abel Pond,
was tried last week, in Middlesex County,
Massachusetts,, TO recover. damages for an
alleged breach of promise of marriage. Both
parties reside at Holliston, Mass, and the
plaintiff is young lady of about twenty-five
years of age, the daughter of q wealthy far
mer of that place. The defendant at the time
his alleged attentions to the plaintiff were
paid, was widower, aged 81. He had long
resided in Holliston, had been actively en-
gagged In business there, had held several i'm
portant town offices, and accumulated small
fortune, At the time Of his attentions to the
plaintiff, his first wife had been dead less than
a year. The plaintiff alleged and introduced
evidence to prove that in January 1858, her
acquaintance with the defendant was COM
menced by the reception from him Of polite
note, asking leave to visit her, which he
shortly, afterward did, and at ouce made
proposals Of marriage; that when she hesi-
tated somewhat about accepting his offer on
account Of the disparity in years between her
self and defendant and the suddenness of
his unexpected offer, he urged her to accept
It by showing her how much better it would
be to marry him, with his wealth and inhu-
ence in town, notwithstanding his age and
widowhood, than to marry man of her own
age without money; and he professed great
regard and attachment for her as O pious
devoted girl, and member OF the same
church with himself that hnallyshe accepted
his offer, and as he was very urgent to have
the marriage take place at once, Immediately
made her preparations therefor, and COM
menced purchasing articles with which to
furnish the house and her wardrobe; that he
made her presents of gold watch and q
wedding ring, and was having new house
built to live in; that at the expiration of sew
eral months defendant told plaintiff he had
changed his mind and wished her TO release
him; that when asked for his reason, he said
''he found no fault at all with her she de-
served a much better husband than he could
make her, but he could never marry her"
and thus he finally left her that eight months
afterward, and while the present suit was
pending, he married and took to his new
house another wife, who year or two before
had been divorced from former husband.
The defendant admitting the contract and
the breach of as charged, and the plaintiffs
excellent character, contended that plaintiff
could have no object in marrying man of
his years, who was fast verging upon old age,
and whom she would have been obliged to
take care of and nurse during his decline;
that she could have made more money in
| nursing at a hospital; and that therefore it
was bad bargain for her, and no injury but
! rather benefit to be released from it. The
jury, after being out less than an hour, re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages
5000. f. .-r',... ,....'- ....' I'D ~ ..
