The CHAMPIONSHIPS.

LONDON MAY 10 AOIO
The question Of the championship
seems to have been de6nitively settled at
a meeting yesterday between Heenan
and Savers the referee, and the hackers
Of the two men which took place at the
Office Of Bells Life. L was agreed that
each of the rival pugilists is to have a
new belt precisely like the original belt
held by Savers. The belt is then to be
fought for, but Savers is TO appear in the
ring no more. This is a virtual admls-
sion on bis or his friends part hat be Is
unable to contend with the Benicia Boy
and admirers Of American pugilism may
consequently throw up their caps and
shout for victory. The proceeding on
the part of the English is honorable and
loyal and will remove all ground of ill
feeling between the two people. Il is TO
be hoped that the hesitation which has
for several weeks past characterized the
proceedings Of Savers upholders and
their evident reluctance to treat the
American claims with Justice will not
have induced the Government at Wash
ington to act precipitatIy and send an
other British minister his passports.
Heenan is bound to have the belt and
ready to fight for it. More than one
Briton will dispute with him possession
of the gladiatOrial trophy, and a beginning
the Post Of this morning states that a
man named Hurst much taller and heav-
Ter than Heenan will challenge him i'm
m~ediately. This new aspirant is only
six feet and is known by the name of the
Staleybridge Infant, he is from Cheshire
and looks upon himself as decidedly the
cheese. RALPH EASEL.

While "Honest Old Abe" was splitting

thirty years ago. In view Of the laIt tiers

taught school, when he was a young man.
is shout to be adopted as an emblem OF
the great Democratic party. It is pecu-
liarly appropriate that the Democratic
PARTY, which believes in the intelligence
Of the people, their capacity for self
government and their right to manage
their own affairs, should select the school
house as its most fitting emblem. While
the sectional Abolition party ride an old
fence rail as It's hobby hobby horse, the
Democrats ADOPT the old log school-house
in which their great leader, thirty years
ogo, taught the young idea how to shoot.

The Nehraska DIV NeKs.

This old pioneer paper, the Office Of
which was entirely consumed in the late
disastrous conhagration in Nebraska City,
has, Phenix like, arisen from the ashes
and shines brighter than ever. This
week it appears again rugged out in
an entire new and greatly improved
dress. The editor, Hon. M. w. REY-
EOLDs, has ehdeavored, and succeeded
in making the matter in the NelUs cor
respond with its typographical appear
ance. Mr.. THOMAS MoRTON, the pro-
prietor, is second to none other in regard
to enterprise and industry, and we sin
cerely hope he may meet with not only
continued but increased patronage. He
deserves it.
As all the books of the establishment
were consumed, the publishers have no
means by which they can furnish sub
scribers with their papers. unless they
will notify them. They much desire
them to do so.

THE TICKLE WIDOW.

The widow Smith in her chamber sat-
She was forty and fair-and somewhat fat,
And with burning tears her eyes were red,
For the lord of her life, alas, was dead;
And though she was young, just forty or DER,
She vowed and declared she'd marry no more
The widow Smith owned house and stocks.
And her pockets were heavily lined with rocks,
Besides she was young, quite healthy and fair,
And before her sad loss with so touching an air,
That all the men said-nay, some of them swore,
Twas wrong to VOW that she'd marry no more.
A year passed, and the widow fair
Was listening to step on the stair;
And blush sprung upon her rosy cheek,
And she heard the door give sudden squeak;
And voice spoke out "Oh, you adore!
Say not, oh! say not, you'll marry no more"
The widow Smith, though forty and fat,
Could not withstand an offer ike that;
So raising her eyes, she mused awhile,
Then said as she cast on her lover a SMILE
81 will marry you, though loudly swore
When my first husband died I'd marry no more ,

THE INoUIsIrIVE YANKEE.

A gentleman riding in an eastern railroad car
which was rather scantiy supplied with passengers
observed on the seat before hima lean slab sided
Yankee every feature of his face seemed to ask a
a question, and a little circumstance soon proved
that he possessed a more "inquisitixe mind" Be-
fore him occupying entire seat, sat lady dress
ed in deep black, and after shifting his position
several times, and maneuvering to get an oppcr-
tunlty to look into her face, at length he caught
her eye.
in affiiction? he asked
Yes SIR responded the lady.
Pa~fant?-father or mother?
No sir.
Child, perhaps-boy or gir2 -
No, sir, not child have no children.
Husband, then, expect?
Yes, was the curt answer.
Hum!-cNolery!-a tradin' man, may be?
My husband was a seafaring nlan-the captain
Of vessel he didn't die of cholera, he was drown
ed.
Oh, drowned eh! pursued the inquisitor, hes-
tating FOR BRIEF instant Saved his chist?
Yes, the vessel was saved and my husbands eff
fects, said the widow?
Was they? askel the Yankee, his face bright
ening up. Pious nan?
He was member of the Methodist Church.
The next question was little delayed, but it
came. \.
Don't you think you have great cause to be
thankful that he was apious man, and saved his
chist.
[ do, said the widow abruptly, and turned her
head to look out of the window. The indefatigable
pump changed his position, held the widow by
his glittering eyes once more, and propounded one
more query in little lower tone, with his head
slightly inclined forward, over the back of the
seat 'was you calculating to get married AGAIN.
Sir, said the widow Indignantly, you are imper-
tinent. And she left her seat and took another
on the other side of the car.
"Pears to be little hufy," said the inefable
bore, turning to narrator behind him; she
needn't be rpad don't want to hurt her feelings.
What did they make you pay for that umbrella
you've got in your hand? It's real pooty one"
