SENATOR CoNKLING AS A PUGIIIsT.-
The New York papers publish the following:
Apropos of the pugilistic accomplishments
of Mr.. Conkling a very good story is told.
Muscle is his mania, and his leisure hours arc
passed with the dumb-bells. of which he
can "put up" great weight, or the boxing
gloves, in the use of which he is quite an
adept. Being man several inches over six
feet in height, he is an ugly customer to
tackle. While Dan Kerrigan was member
from Brooklyn, Conkling saw fit to be quite
polite to him, but in way that offended
Kerrigan, as Conkling always led eonversa-
tion with him to sporting topics, and,
though probably not intending to do so,
conveyed the impression to the Brooklyn
member that the Utica representative thought
he Kerrigan) knew nothing of other mat
ters. One day Conkling told Kerrigan he
should like to put'on the gloves with him.
Dan said he was not much of boxer, and
besides he was too small man to contend
with Roscoe, but that friend of his was
fair sparrer and would bring him to Conk-
ling's room that evening if agreeable. The
appointment was made and Dan appeared
punctually, accompanied by a friend nearly
as large as Conkling The gloves were
speedily donned, and the sparring commenc-
cd. Kerrigan occupying himself, the while,
in arranging in line on the table the ink
stand, paste bottle, glasses and other articles
of Congressmans table furniture As the
boxers spared about the room, Conkling
"got in" several blows. light ones, but was
not struck until he reached a position in line
with the string of "skulch," arranged by
Kcrrigan, when the strangerled out q straight
hard blow on the Congressman's mob, which
sprawled him flat in the midst of Dams pre-
parations.. Conkling rose rather "discour-
aged" like the cow when the locomotive
Knocked her down the embankment, and his
opponent handsomely apologized, and ex-
pressed his surprise at succeeding in hitting
a boxer so superior to himself. Roscoe kept
his temper, and second time they went ct
it, but again. when Conkling reached the
proper position, he was laid on the table,"
like democratic hill in the house Of Rep
resentatives. A third time the operation
was repeated, when the Congressman, dis
gulsed, laid aside the gloves, and learned af-
forwards that Kerrigan's friend was Ned
Price, the celebrated boxer.

THE NEW GOVERNOR GENERAL OF CAM
ADA.-Richard Southwcll, Lord Naus, has
been appointed governor general of Canada.
He was born on the 21st of February 1922,
and is consequently not quite forty1fve years
of age. On the S1st Of October, 1S4S, he
married Blanche Julia, third daughter Of
Col. George Wyndham, Of Petworth, Sussex,
by whom he has had several children. Tho
public life of his lordship has not been one
Of particular prominence, although he was
known to the House of Commons as one Of
the most tiresome speakers IN that body
After the resignation Of the Russell ministry
in 1851, and the succession Of Earl Derby,
Lord Naus was appointed chief Secretary for
Ireland, and was appointed to the same po-
sition upon the second administration OF the
earl in 1852 He is represented as q tall
stout gentleman, with a large, round face and
has very small eyes. When q member
of Parliament he was known as the " to,
Irish boy" he is man of average ability
but lacks energy and decision.
