BILLY EDWARDS CHALLENGES SAM Coli
YER.-Some time ago Billy Edwards, who
styles himself light weight champion of
the world challenged Samuel Cellyer to
fight for thousand dollars side. One
deposit was made by each man, but Coll
yer failed to come to time with the second,
and Edwards claimed, by the rules of the
ring, forfeit. Frank Queen, the stakeholder,
acceded to the claim, and paid Edwards
the five hundred dollars. Thereupon
Collyer sued Queen for the money, claim
ing the benefit of the act prohibiting gam
bling. The judge decided in Collyer's
favor, and on Saturday Mr.. Queen paid
over to him $53941, which included the
costs of the action. This has incensed
Edwards, who docs not hesitate to de-
nounce Collyer's action as cowardly. He
has, therefore, offered to add $500 to the
$53o.41, which be of course claims, and
fight Collyer for double that amount at
catch weight in the same ring in which
Mace and Coburn appear. The challenge
has created some excitement in sporting
circles.--Neso York Standard.

The Bell Ringers. s.--The performances of
the Berger family of Swiss Bell Ringers now
In progress at the theatre, are of a most at
tractve, entertaining character. 1t is rarely
the case that combination so agreeable in it's
nature is present to our citizens The music
of the bells, chaste and beautiful as it is, and
startling with its wonderful ingenuity, is but
an incident to the varied entertainment. The
singing of Miss Stanley, the performance on
the harp, violoncello and flute, and the grand
combination of the silver cornet band, super
added to the inimtable drolleries of Sol Smith
Russell, are each in their way eminently at.
tractive and agreeable. No one can see them,
we think, without experiencing the highest
qualification.

Ihe members of our General Assembly
finding So per diem and nothing to do an
agreeable thing, are already pipe laying for an
extension Of a session which won't reach its
constitutional limit yet for month to come.
There was time when 81 a day and roast
beef was considered the acme of human attain
ment. Now, Sc per diem and the in ncidentals
supplied oy the exigencies of the times (rail
roads and otherwise) are not considered suili-
eient remuneration. This is an exacting and
hard world. Every day people learn to do
less and to exact and demand more for its per-
formance. The philosophy of the world has
taught man to consider himself fool If be
does not use his opportunities, and man learns
fast, especially the majority of those compos-
ing the Virginia Legislature.

There was great excitement among the

The York Ricer Route to Baltimore and

again made the York River route to Baltimore
and the North daily line, is gratifying to us
and the travelling public. 1t is not only cheap
and expeditions for freights, but is, as now
regulated, very popular for travel. The low
fare must necessarily attract large share of

Dramatic Entertainment. The Jefferson
Literary and Social Club gave their annual en-
tertainment at the Monticello Hotel, Broad
street, last night. The attendance was large,
and was by far the most appreciative audience
we have ever seen assembled in this city. The
entertainment consisted of two farces, entitled
ellis Last Legs" and "The Artful Dodger -
After which, by general request, the occasion
was concluded in a soiree donsante, which was
kept up until the early morning hours.
We do not believe it proper or just to bring
amateurs and professionals into comparison,
but we do not exaggerate when we advance
that the amateurs of Jefferson Society were
superior in merit to most of the stock compa-
nies that have performed in Richmond. The
caste was admirable. Each individual showed
good deal of study and understanding. The
whole performance was spirited, exhibiting a
knowledge OF stage conventionalties and
dramatic talent OF high order, seldom seen
even among professionals.
Where all did and acted so well, it would be
most difficult to discriminate. The pressure on
our columns to-day preclude more extended
n notice.
Altogether, we are indebted to the ladies
and gentlemen of Jefferson Literary and Social
CLUB for most excellent performance, and we
but express the desire of large portion of the
community, in asking repetition of it.

EVEN as strong Radical partisan as
John A. Logan, who took his seat in the
United States Senate on the 4th of March,
is compelled to protest against the ex'
trayagance of the Radicals. Two 'ol
three days before the adjournment of the
late Congress, he said in speech ia the
House of Representatives, that ''lht
people were not going TO submit to these
enormous burdens imposed on them by
Congress. He did not want to attend the
funeral of the Republican party within
the next two years; if he had to do so hC
desired its assassination should be perpe
trated by other hands; he did not want Il
see the life and vitality of that party to
ken from it by its friends-by men call
ing themselves Republicans, and yet they
were doing it here every day. They mus
cease this extravaganza, must CT ase thest
outrages on the people, or they were
doomed party!" That is pretty plan
talk from Radical, but he knows where
of he speaks.
