A correspondent gives the following
items of the late Maee-Allen fight:
The fight was remarkable III the general
good feeling that prevailed, even to the
fighters. In the long sparring OF the hrst
round Mace remarked, OTIS like two
brothers fighting;" and Allen answered,
That's so, jim" When Mace struck
Allen the first blow in the stomach, he
asked, Glow do you like the darby
Tom?" And when Allen drove Mace S
breath out of him, and made him gasp,
Mace remarked, when he recovered and
came up again, 1T you do that again,
Tom, III have to hit you on
the nose" and Allen laughed. When
Allen cut through Mace's shoe, into his left
foot it'll his spikes, he said, ii beg your
pardon, | didn't mean to, and Mace smil-
ed as he responded, "All right, Tom. BY
the way, in one of the falls Mace spiked
Allen in the right thigh. Before they put
their hands up Mace took roll OF money
and offered to make a side bet WITH Allen.
Instead Of doing this publicly, as Is the
custom with most fighters (AIlen excepted)
he walked mp quietly TO Aliens corner and
made the offer, which was not accepted.
II was in the second round that the most
terrible blow OF the battle was struck, when
Mace put his LETT bang against Aliens right
eve The blow must have been square on
tie eve. for ii made Allen wild. In the
rush that be made FOR Mace then he missed
him by two feet whirled around. threw
his right hand up to the eye, thought the
eve was "gone forever uttered an
ooh !" and dropped. In the fifth
round Mace got Aliens head under
his right arm and punched him five
times IN the face belor Allen could squivm
down and catch him for a throw; and then,
when Mace fell he still held Aliens head
and necs, and as Aliens body and legs went
into the air, the top OF his head struck the
Ground with Maces arm still around It, and
4 shudder went through a thousand men
with the idea that Aliens neck was broken.
1 And il was remarkable, indeed, that he
escaped.

Anna Dickinson on Woman.

God did not create woman as violet, to
smell sweet, nor as lutte, to send forth
harmonies but as He created man, an i'm
mortal soul, and as such owing duties and
responsibilities to every other immortal
soul The scales OF everlasting JUS
tice are held in the hands of God, and
must swing down at last. do not expect
a miracle to be wrought; | DO not believe
the millennium will dawn when woman re-
ceives the ballot. What woman needs is
the broadening of the brain, the expansion
of character gained through the power that
will come with the ballot. Woman must
help man as well as to be helped by him.
she must inspire him as well as be sup
ported by him. The nations OF the earth
will rise mp and call such an one blessed,
and God himself will say to her, ''well
done" No good will come to man or wo.
man in Keeping them asuuder. Ihere Is
no work man can do but what will be bet
ter done by having woman at his side.
