PRIZE-RING TECHNICALITIES.
Our witty friend, of the Marysville Na-
tional Democrat, occasionally interludes his
labors, in behalf of the Little Giant, with a
waggish editorial, in which it is difficult to
perceive whether fun or philosophy is most
abundant. One of his latest productions of
this character, is a serio-comic essay on
the technicalties of boxing, in which, with
all Difference be it said, there is one glaring
fault. If the beautiful ladies of Marysyille
and, Heaven knows, some of them are very
beautiful, as our bachelor friend, Mr.. Avery,
will soon find out to his cost-if the beauti-
full ladies of Marysville have q penchant for
the pugilistic vocabulary, it is scarcely fair
to make such matter patent Just read
what "the satirical rogue" Says
"a knowledge of these technical terms is
required for fun understanding of the Hee-
nan and Sayers battle, and, of course, every
body has more or less posted himself or her
self as to the definition of them. 1t is no
great wonder, then, if we hear from rosy
lips, wreathed with half deprecating smile,
something about Heenan's left shooting
out and getting on Toms 'conk,' while
Heenan received a right hander' upon
his nut at which he shook and grinned;
or a laughing observation, that, on GER
tain round, Toms mug showed Heenan'S
'sign-m -manual;' and again that Toms 'peeper'
displayed marks of pepper or, on the other
hand, that Tom 'countered Heenan heavily
on the right cheek drawing the tclaret,'
whereupon Heenan mapped him on the right
cheek and closed his dexter google and di-
rectly after 'got him on the 'smeller.' You
may laugh, bat we tell you that there are
lively females of the genus Lady Gay Span
ker, who can reel you off shis kind of talk
as glibly as you please, and they do it in a
style, too, that is perfectly captivating
They seem to know intnitively, so quick is
worl1ans wit, what is meant by straight
one on the sniffer, or lodging left on the
nozzle, or letting go his right on the kisser
and drawing the carmine,' or "a blow alight-
ing on Heenan's Grafton trap and bringing
the ruby or Heenan's 'retallating sharply
on the bridge of Toms snout,' or Toms get
ting a hot 'un on Heenan's whistler, which
shook his ivories;' or the Benicia Boys lan-
ding lick on Toms COB, which brought
the juice, and Toms responding with blow
on Heenans snuffer-trap with like result
&C., &C, &c.
OF course, the ladies are Mortified, at the
same time, with the brutality of the thing,
but, then, they have such clever way OF
taking off the absurdites of such encounters;
that the subject in their hands actually be-
comes attractive"
The ladies of our little forth San Juan, God
bless 'em who are not a whit less beautiful
than their Marysvlle sisters, are influenced
by "higher law" of chivalry; for they re-
gard the battering of heads, the bruising of
noses, and tfe-buhging ofeyes, with horror;
and not one of them has read, or even heard,
the first line, word, or syllable, of the Say
ers and Heenan fight. "If men must fight"
say they-'sand Dame Nature seems to
have purposely made them to kill and MAIN
each other; why do they not study getility
and gracefulness in the performance of their
fayorite amusement? Just think of manly
face all beaten to Jelly, and contrast it
with nice little bullet hole in the thorax,
or an elegantly delivered sword thrust
through the diaphragm !" Such are the no.
BILE and chivalric sentiments of our North
San Juan ladies, who never pollute their
cherry lips with such abominable contortions
of their mother tongue, as goggles, and smell
lers, and peppers, and mfers. Again we say
God bless 'em
