A Lady's Opinion Of a Lady's
.-. .ti ..s MAN, r-1-93 trBI,

Mrs. Stephens, in her monthly mag
azine, gives certain class of men, the
like of whom are seen in every COM
murity, the benefit of her opinion, as
| follows: .r -f,., $3.50 es.as; -a.,se
Our own private opinion on the
'lady's man is, that he is thoroughly
cOntemptible--a sort of life hardly
worth thinking about-a nutshell with
the kernel withered up-a handful ot
foam drifting over the wine, of life
something not altogether unpleasant to
the fancy, but of no earthly use, A wo-
man of sense would as soon be put to
sea in man-of7war made of shingles,
or take up residence in card house, as
dream of attaching herself to a lady
lover. ......i... .-.,..l !.
Women worth the. name are seldom
deceived into thinking our lady's man
the choicest specimen of his sex. What
ever their ignorance may be, womanly
intuition must tell them that the men
who live for a great object, and whose
spirits are so firmly knit that they are
able to encounter the storms of life
men whose depth and warmth of Feeling
resemble the powerful current of a
mighty river, and not the bubbles on
its surface-who, if they love are never
smitten by mere beauty of form and
features-these men are more worthy
even of occupying their thoughts in idle
moments than the fops and men about
town with whose attentions they amuse
themselves, If we were to tell him
this he would only laugh; he has no
pride about him, although full of vsni-
ty, and it matters not to him what we
may broadly affirm or quietly insinuate e.
Soft and delicate though he be, he
is as impervious ito ridicule as a hod
carrier, and as regardless of honest con-
tempt as city alderman. Were you
to hand him this article, he would take
it to some social party and read it aloud,
in the most mellifuous voice, as an
homage to his own attractions. isis

Now that Nh. Dickens has certainly
come to this country to give public read

anticipation, what to expect in the way
of peculiarities of style and conduct
from the great English humorist. Be,

seen through the opera glasses of those
who have heard, him. They differ in
color slightly. The first is drawn by an

No applause moves him to an alb
stracted mood. He is the Interpreter of

A book lies before him and lie turns
over the leaves, but he rarely looks at
the pages. He knows them by heart.
At first it strikes you bis voice is arti-
fetal. There is theatrical tone in il
which prepares you for disappoiut-
ment; but in the cas-, of nine lectures
out of ten, this impression goes of, and
tbe laugh or the tear defy the strongest
will. Mr.. Dickens extremely dislikes,
while reading, the noise of people en-
teringor lea' ing, and printed slips are
usually placed at the doors begging that
silence may be maintained, What he
may do in the United States is moi
known, but in England he does not ad.
dress syllable to the audience. On
entering he goes straight to his desk,
and commences forthwith. ss

Cousin Kate was asweet wide-awake
beauty of about seventeen, and she took
it into her head to go down on Long Is

those relations there chanced to be a
young swain who had seen Kate on a
previous occasion, and seeing, fell deep
ly in love with her. He called at the
house on the evening of her arrival, and
she met him on the piazza where she
was enjoying the evening air in com

hecould not find his tongue for some

A DAY.-A Day! 1t has risen upon
us from the great deep of eternity, girt
round with wonder; emerging from the
womb of darkness; new creation of
life and light spoken into being by the
word of God. In itself one entire and
perfect sphere of space and time, filed
and emptied of the sun. Every past
generation is represented in it; it is the
Towering of all history, and in so much
it is richer and better than all other
days which have proceeded it And
we have been recreated to new oppor-
tunities, with new powers-called to
this utmost promontory of actual time,
this centre of all coming life. And it
is for to-day's work we have been en-
dowed; it is for this we are pressed and
surrounded with these faculties, The
sum of our entire being is concentrated
hereI and to-day is all the time we ab-
solutely have Chapin.

also at the burials of the poor who are
inferred at the expense of the public"
And surely, Mr.. Ripperger will not, nor
cannot, plead ignorance of the meaning OF
these few, plain, and simple words7 lie
cannot say, that he understands, by such
an order from the Government, that he is
to ,be present merely as an idle spectator,
and to have nothing to do with the mat
ter? No: surely he will not.
But the great question TO be answered
is this Does the Gravedigger pay the
slightest attention TO this plain and posi-
tive order of the Government2 Inc
whole Community With one voice, will
endorse the declaration that he does not.
He is never present at such buriaIs. He
did not attend the one IN question either
personally or by proxy. The tact Isl
that the Gravedlggcr appears to be above
his pIace; for he is seldom or never seen
at any burial, except where he is com
PEELED to o~ficiate in his capacity Of clerk,
or where there is no doubt of a large por-
ton Of dimes and cents TO be expected.
Having exposed, as ! believe, what is
the duty of the Gravedigger, as contained
in The Governments letter which | have
quoted, il is to be hoped that people will
no longer remain dormant on this sub
iect; but that they will demand of him
to do his duty, and when he again says,
II have nothing to do with the burial"
shew him that they will not be duped by
his continued and systematic negligence
Of his plain duty.
L must, in conclusion, add, that it is
not to be supposed that he'Government
is aware hat its orders have been so dog
matically disobcyed in this respect, or
the Gravedigger must have got a rap
over the knuckles long ere this for his
remarkable derilection Of duty.

THE r HAZARD.

Public attention has been awakened,
by the frequency and extent of recent
fires, to the consideration of the causes
of the enormous destruction of property
during the past two years, and serious
apprehensions have been entertained of
the ultimate ability of many, ifnot all, Of
our Companies to withstand the fiery cur
rentethat threatens TO cngulf them. Stock
holders have been called upon TO accept
meagrc dividends from some, forcgo di-
vidends altogether in Others, and in not o
few cases compelled TO stand quietly by
and see their investments disappear, like
the morning dew, before the scorching
epidemic which they are powerless 10 re-
sist. or control. The assembled wisdom
and experience Of over three hundred
Companies at a recent meeting in this
city failed to fathom the subject or agree
upon a remedy. They talked of The
French mode of paying no losses which

.ROTGH AND TUMBLE-CONVENTION.
From the New York Tlfibune.)

FROM me ven IU|b LGtOWHCt/
On Saturday morning last, at the early
hour of 3 o'clock, a select party OF
.roughs, thieves, and murderers, had as
semhled in the vicinity Of Fort Lee, tor
the purpose of assisting at a rough anu
tumble prize-figIt, for the sum OF S2Oo'
between two very notorious characters
respectively named in the nomenclature
OF the prize-ring "Blister" and "Nosey."
Now, to the readers of The Tribune, who
are very ignorant of all these rowdy do
ings there may seem to be. no distinction
whatever between what is termed a ere
gular'' ring prize fight and a trough and
tumble encounter-which we shall des-
cribe. There is however a very material
Difference between the two. For q regu-
lar ring fight the contestants have to be
trained for weeks before the fight takes
sDlace, and when the men enter the ring
,fhey have to submit TO established rules,
which enioin upon the combatants a
system of what is termed fair-play, and
.enforces upon them The necessity OF
standing up while beating each others
faces to pieces. In a rough and tumble
it is altogether different, as the rowdles
are allowed every latitude and brutality,
inasmuch as biting, gouging and kicking
the eyes and {heads off. are deemed worthy
of the highest praise from the ruffians who
attend the worst than gladiatorial combat.
1T was a fight Of this kind that lhe sixty
or seventy roughs who assembled at Fort
Leo on Saturday morning were TO witness.
At 81 o'clock 70 or so of these gentlemen
, 1867-08-23

delight Of his friends, managed to get 49,
thumb inserted in the eye of Mr.. Blister,
who resisted manfulIy but did not let go
his hold. Blister rolled his opponent
over on the ground, and while both men
were gouging, biting and chewing each
others flesh like bull dogs, Mr.. Blister
got on top Of Noscy, and commenced TO
kick him in the face with his heavy boot,
with all the gusto and enthusiasm of a
gentleman dandy. Everything was now
promising well for Mr.. Blister, and one of
his friends vas running around thc hu-
man ring with a handful of greenbackS
in his hands.
"Blister is the boy for my money.
Who'll bust me in the s-n-o-o-t fur
twenty d-o-l-s7 That's my gait. Who's
looking at me, s-a-y2"
At this juncture another rowdy stepped
up quietly and said to the man who want
ed to get "busted :"-"W-e-l-l, if yer
very hard up for it, why l don't care eff
l do take yer bugle off for $50"
There then ensued an immediate cIInch
and struggle between those two fellows,
which ended in one of. them being almost
beaten to pieces and kicked in the ribs.
until the other brute said :-"Well /
guess yer sick now, anyhow"
Blister and Nosey were still fighting,
both men rolling all over the field, pre-
senting a most depIorable and distressing
spectacle, their faces being oil cut like
raw heefstcaks, Blister having lost a piece
ofhis nose, while Nosey had parted unwiI-
Iingly with about an inch of his left ear.
"Puke" while seeking to cheer the down
cast spirits of his principal had been
struck by a brick on the side of the lread
and "knocked stiff" TO use the express
sion of a rough. Mr.. Puke arose slowly,
all bleeding and gashed, and turning
around slowly cried out. FFhat wasn't
no square deal, anyhow; I calld for the
Intervention of Mr.. Seward, and if can't
git it, | takes me own" at the same mo-
ment pulling from a breast pocket q six
barrelied revolver. A general free fight
was about TO enSue, when the alarm of
"'Police" was given, and the rowdies,
thievesa and murderers scampered rightand
left for the boats, some escaping by the
road to Hudson city and others taking to
the woods in great alarm. 1t is needless
10 say that the fight was declared a draw
owing to the fear of arrest by the princi-
pals.
