ST. LOUIS, Jupe I7.-Tom Allen says
that he shall take no notice of McCoole's
challenge to fight again near St Louis,
but will'go three hundred miles east, to
some point in Kentucky, or, as he would
prefer to Canada, and match him for
5000, or any other sum he desires.
McCoole is said to be willing to fight him
away from st. Louis, or, better still, in a
room with only few friends of each
party as witnesses. McCoole still be-
Iieves that be can whip Allen.
Mckinney, the referee, publishes an
other statement, in which he repeats his
decision, and says that while coming
home on the boat Sherman ThurstOn and
Billy Carroll, friends Of Allen, offered
him money TO decide in Aliens favor.
The stake money has not yet been
given up, and it is alleged that it will not
be until matters are arranged to the sat
isfaction Of all parties. Quite number
of outsiders who bet on McCoOle have
defined to receive the stakes put up, be-
Iieving that the referees decision was un-
fair, and that Allen was the victor. Allen
says that he will fight Gallagher at any
place away from st. Louis on a wager OF
from $3.50 to 81, 800. --
A Jury was finally obtained to~day in

A FLEA ENrERrAINnENT.

The flea has been caught and made
useful at last. A London paper says that
gentleman, calling himself Professor
Kitchingman, had been endeavoring TO
educate the puler irTetGns, and that he
has now succeeded to some extent. He
is now showing such of the world of Lon
don as care to see his exhibition what
teaching and patient labor can do in pro-
ducing performing heas. He has made
fleas' furniture, men-of-war- chariOts,
railway engines, treadmills, tight-rOpes,
sea-saws and guns, and has brought
his insects to such pitch of
perfection that they draw, pull, fire,
and do other wonderful things when he
wants them to do so. They are tied to
the instrument by fine hairs or glass
threads, and soon learn how to do their
work Mr.. Kitchingman believes the
creatures have intellects. 10 Without en-
dorsing this, or unduly triumphing at
the fact that the insect which has so long
laughed at man, spoilt his temper so
often, and baffled so efectually all at.
tempts at suppression, can now be
tanned and brought under the master
mind, we must congratulate the professor
on having accomplished most wonder
full task. The flea is certainly bad
master We hope he will prove good
servant s. --

night, awakened his wife, and to
her expressions of astonishment
could say nothing only that he felt
that he ought to return. lnquiring
as to Artles, the wife replied that he
had performed the farm chores,
as usual, remained about the house
for a while, and then informed her 1
that the night being warm, he |
would sleep in the barn. Rolfe |
passed through to the kitchen,
where he found q window up that |
looked directly on the barnyard.
His wife was certain that she had
shut all the windows on re-
firing. AS they stood for a
moment looking out, they saw |
the barn door swing open, and |
Artles led out one of the horses.
As they watched, he led the horse
through the gate, and, going to the
front, they saw that he had tied the
animal to the door-yard gate. Rolfe
Immediately opened the door and
walked down to- the gate. He was
within ten feet of Artles when the
latter espied him, and, giving utter
anee to an oath OF angry astonish-
ment, Immediately fled down the
road. Rolfe pursued him for some
forty or fifty rods, and then gave
up the chase. On returning to the
horseback the gleam of steel
caught his eye, and he picked from
it an ugly-looking sheath-knife.
The open window, the pretenee of
sleeping in the barn, the horse and
knife, all went to prove thai Artles
to rob the house, even if
he had to make use Of the knife.
The facts are given exactly as mar
rated by Mr.. Rolfe himself, and the
reader is free to Judge of the truth
or absurdity of the presentiment.
On Friday Artles had not returned
to the neighborhood, neither had
the slightest clew to his where.

THB NEXT COTTON CROP.

Though it is early in the season to an
sWer.the questions that are asked in re-
laticn to the cotton crop, the Journal Of
Commerce throws some light on the
subject when it says: ...-.-.f
Last year the planters had too little
capital and quite limited facilities in
making the crop. In view of worn out
mules, plows and other implements, and
limited resources of cash and credit, if
the season had been only an average one
the yield would not have exceeded, if it
had reached two million bales. But the
extraordinary advantages in other re-
spects, added twenty per cent. to this ess
innate. With the help of last years
crop, the planters now have more mules,
new implements and more abundant pro-
vision every way for pulverizing the soil
and heightening the cultivation. Very
little, if any more, surface has been
planted. Indeed, many well>informed
persons believe that the area devoted to
this staple is less this year than last.
The season thus far has been less propi-
tious on the whole, and the crop is from
one to two weeks later. The question of
yield is one, therefore, to be settled by
future contingencies. With everything
prosperous to the close of the year, the
crop will reach three million bales, the
improvement in cultivation giving the
planters so much more from the same
surface. But such uninterrupted pros
perity is hardly to be expected, however
much it may be desired."t VA Is

CALIFORNIA FRUITs.-The Cheyenne
Leader of May 18th, contains the fol-
lowing:
Now that the Pacific railroad is com~
pleted we may look for California grapes,
peaches, apricots and nectarines in July,
instead of waiting two months later for
Eastern fruits. These fruits are not
only two months earlier than those of
the Eastern States, but so far as the
grapes, nectarines and apricots are con-
cerned, they are two hundred per cent.
better, and considerably cheaper. Grapes,
for instance, are the most expensive fruit
in the East, while they are the cheapest
product in California. Fresh figs, also,
that cannot be had in the East at any
price, can be obtained from California,
although they are very perishable CONS
modify. There could be no better pay
ing business in this city during the COM
ing summer than an agency or depot for
the sale of California fruits received
from San Francisco every morning."
