Dried the fountain of her tears,
Stilled the hearts, consuming sighs,
Vanished all her hopes and fears.

SUMPTION A Yankee does. it IS true, incline very
/ much to Dragging, but an Englishman, casfers
paribus, will quietly and naturally assume not only
that he does everything but that he is everything
that by divine right and eternal necessity bis na-
] ton stands beyond comparison with any other.

are capable of doing anything % we'll a. the Eng

insane and ridiculous eonceit. II am glad to have

heenan Is soon to commence his harvest BY DIV
ing exhibitions. He goes to Liverpool this week.
and appears in London next week, and may be as-
sured Of coming money by his mill for months to
come. He is burning for another fight, but It Is
considered certain that Sayers would be whipped.
and 1t will not be permitted, even If the authorities
have to prosecute the parties FOR the fight which
has taken place. and put Heenan out OF the reach
Of victory and Sayers ont Of danger of defeat,
knowing which. he will consent to the above COM
promise.
So much for the fight i;self. There have come
some consequences the train Of itworth speaking
Of, among which is certain change in the bearing
of Englishmen commonly towards Americans,
which, ridiculous as it may seem, extends itself to
| nearly everything American. There Is an irriia-
ton in conversation and an acerbity in the papers
which have never before seen, not even after ne
yacht race. The reason is, | imagine, TINT they
not only feel that Sayers was defeated in reality ~
being proved the worse man of the two, physically,
but they have consciousness 81 wrong being aYne
