Prize lighting was always a ruffianly and de-
| grading business, but it was not always so
thoroughly contemplate as it has become in the
hands of its present champions. There is some
thing extremely ludicrous in the announcement
that these doughty bruisers, who have
for months been breathing out threat
enings and slaughter, longing to get
at each other, and cursing the officers
of the law, who prevented their meeting, when
at last they fonnd a secluded spot, and had
everything ready for their miserable business,
instead of battering each others faces as they
had been longing to do, wasted their time in
brawling, and finally separated without blow,
to the extreme disgust of the two or three score
of bartenders, thieves, gamblers, and New York
and Philadelphia aldermen, who had sedulously
followed their devious wanderings in the hope
of learning (which was the better man."
As general thing, among men of rough and
violent habits, an unadjusted difference is likely
to lead to fight but in this case it prevented
one. If the principals could have agreed upon
the point in dispute, there is no apparent reason
why they might not have bruised each other to
their own satisfaction and the delight of their
friends and admirers, but they could not fight
without first agreeing, and so there was peace
instead of war Here is a suggestion for the
peace society. 1t may seem odd, aud perhaps
disrespccttul, to invite Mr.. Eihu Burritt to
learn OF Mr.. Edward O'Baldwin, and we admit
that the pugilist is a poor creature enough,
but person Of open and candid mind
may sometimes get lessons of wisdom from
very unpromsing sources. The fayorite object
of the peace society now Is to have national
differences settled by arbitration. This plan
has many points of excellence, but to avoid war
by its means involves the necessity of agreeing
upon the arbtrators, which is not always easy,
and when that is done the danger is not all re-
moved. Now if an agreement upon arbtrators,
instead of being a condition of peace, were made
a necessary preliminary to war, as it is always
easier to disagree than agree, we might hope
that nations, like these reluctant pugiliss, could
not fight because they could not come to an un-
derstanding, and the angrier they might be the
less would be the likelihood of their agreeing.

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Man Falls Three Hundred Feet From
Burning Balloon.

An extra Of the De Kalb (Ill.) Nsws, of
Friday evening week. gives the following
account OF the death of a man by falling
from balloon on the afternoon of tnat
day, brief mention of which was made in
our telegrams;
en-. Denniston, the aeronaut, who ad-
yertised that Mr.. l.. Durham would make
an ascension at this place this afternoon,
was initiating his monster balloon, City Of
New York" ard had nearly completed
the initiating process. when the people on
the north side Of the grounds discovered
smoke escaping from the balloon. II was
sc freely visible at first, but faster and fast
er emitted the smoke, and the alarm was
given, but hardly had the detection In
the air ship become apparent, before
flames were issuing from the very top OF
the balloon. Quickly the shout went up,
The balloon is on fire = and as those near
by began to retreat, the horses were also
driven here aud there to escape all danger.
The dry calnbrie and its covering began
burning, first slowly, then the flames
spread, and upward and onward went the
fire, a premonition by this time overtaking
the spectatore-every one present feeling
that some fearful II not fatal calamity
would result.
Scarcely had the flames burst out, how
ever, before an aperture of two or three
feet was made-where the guy-rope hold
ing the unwieldy thing crossed it-and the
rope burned oil, and away to the south.
ward shot the balloon, carrying with II in
its course, EMr. Mcnael AcMann, u labor.
er, assisting in the imitation. Being neal
the basket as II started oil, he became en-
/ tangled, and hanging with one foot inside
the basket-his hands holding to the
I ropes-hc thus ascended Tor perhaps 10l
/ feet, and regained position In the basket
which again hung sideways, and In an.
other minute he was hanging TO the ropes
alone ut a height Of probably not less than
800 feet. Now bis strength gave way, his
presence Of mind deserted him, and in
another momeut the poor man is seen fall
| ing to the earth, filling with horror ant
CONSERVATION the 400 or 500 spectators OF
the grounds. He descended to the eartt
nearly in standing position from 30l
feet in mid-sir, until, when ncar terrs
frma, he fell backward, striking tn,
ground with bis back with such force as iC
produce n conclusion heard some distance
away. lie was utterly crushed, the blood
streaming from his mouth and nostrils
McMann left wife aud several child
who depended upon his labors fora living
The balloon alighted but few rods out
side of the fair grounds, and was sool
| consumed.

The following paragraph Of Mr.. Froude's
lecture, coming from one y ho is as well
acquainted with history and the lesson il
teaches as any other man, is worthy to be-
pondeed by all whom it may concern;
ain my reading Of history one tremen
dous phenomenon forever forces itself
upon me, that every political crims is u
debt registered in heaven and the pay
mcnt to the very last farthing, with inter
est and compound interest, is demanded OF
those who, when the bill is signed, repre-
sent the person Of the criminal. II was
not those who committed the crime who
suffered generally for i, hut the suffering
falls on those who are innocent, and this
has been from the beginning Of time one ol
the mysteries of the prOyideuiial gov rr,
ment Of the world We cannot precisely
understand it; but there Is one le'soi
which we may draw out Of il, there Is one
point 10 which it addresses the noblus
part Of the nature Of man there is MANI
a hot-spri'cc man who will do wrong /
he tanks the risk is on him aud only h
will be held answcTable but he will thinl
more gravely Of it under other circum
stances"

fealty TO the re publican party. The Gin
cinnati movement was based on the cry OF
''aLyhing to beat Grant,, those composing
1t evidently forgetting that anything never
did beat him. He said that Grants record
has never been SURPASSED for brllliancy, 10
this county, and he was considered, In
Europe, MS the greatest character in the
history of the Western World. The speak
er concluded his address after denying the
charges, brought against the Presideni, Of
gift-taking, nepotsm, intempcnnce, etc,
and claimed that on Tuesday the Republi
eau party would carry u Of the old free
States, and half Of the Southern States.
Mr.. Wilson was followed by Richard
Harrington, Esq, in lively address, aHd
the meeting was continued up till late
hour in the light aud addressed by many
other speakers.
| While the Republican meeting was in
| full blast the Democrats were holding
meeting ut Millinrton's hotel, about q
square from LOwcfy's place. senator
Bayard was addressing the crowd there,
and made one Of his usually arguments
tive appeals for the Democratic party.
This meeting was also kept up till late
hour and lis numbers largely augmented
by the arrival over tine junction ~ Break
water X. R., early in the eyening,of anicX-
cnrsiOn train flOm Lewcs and Georgetown.
At 20 minutes to five O'Clock the train
for Wilmington left Milford and arrived
here about eight o'clock. Senator Wilson
was Immediately escorted to Institute Hall
where, doubtless, the lar gest political
meeting ever held in this city was ad-
dressed by him. His address here did not
vary materially form his speech at Mil
iord. If you read his speech delivered at
Milford, YOU have the address he made at
the Institute.
The Straightouls, too, were busy on
Saturday, and held u meeting In the even
ing at the City Hall. The crowd present
was not very large, but the speaker VIM.
Reynolds, Of Newark, argued earnestly In
favor OF O'Conor aud Adams.
The Democrats held u meeting at
Fourth and Lombard streets Saturday
night, which was to have been addressed
by Hon. J. II. Paynier, Of Georgetown,
and Geo. c. Gray, Esq, of New Caste.
Mr. Gray spoke first, but before he bud
concluded the meeting had to be adjourned
to the headquarters, Sixth aud Market
streets, on account of tho rain, where
Mr.. Payntcr then addressed the
meeting. Democratic meeting was
also held over Third street bridge, where
Geo. c. Gray and A. V. Cooper were ad-
yerlised to speak.
William Nicholson, ESD, addressed the
Republicans ut Blackbird on Saturday
night, and William Z. SpIu Iuancc aud }. l..
Killgore, Esqrs., spoke To the Newark
Republicans.
-Hon. Thomas Il. Bayard and John

The Republicans in Sussex held sew

addressed principally by speakers Of local
renown.
The Democrats, on Saturday, held
meetings at Gumboro', Milton, aud at the
Hickory Pole, Sussex county, and were
well attended.

From the San Francisco Morning Call, oct. %.
Another phase in the affairs of Laura
d. Fair Judge Qunt, to whom more
IAN all others she owes her life, or ut any
iate her freedom, has felt himself COM
PEELED 10 bring suit against his former
client TO obtain from her the sums due to
him for his services. The suit was filed
yesterday, and Judge Quiut gives the fol-
lowing statement OF the causes which
have led TO its institution The original
agreement in the case of Mrs. Fair, pre-
vlous TO her frat trial, was that Judge
Quint was to receive $4,000 for his ser
vices, viz $500 cash, which he did re-
ceiYe, and S2500 which he was to be paid
after the trial, and which he has not
received. This agreement was made with
Mrs. Lane, on behalf of Mrs. Fair. Tie
verdict being "Murder in the first degree,'
Judge Quint did not feel that ii would be
right for him TO claim the second S25OO,
and therefore he went on with the case
without further reception of cash. He
drew up the brief upon which the Supreme
Court granted a new tiial, and did al the
heavy work in connection with the pre-
paraiions for her second trial. The result
of it all was that she was acquitted, US all
the world knows.
Last week Judge Quint went to her and
asked for the balance of s250O, and for
S575 expenses which he incurred in going
to Truckee to look into the matter Of the
juror Beach, in preparing tie brief for the
Supreme Court In printing OF documents,
and in various necessary work. To Judge
CUNTS amazement Mrs. Fair repudialed
tue contract. She told Mr.. Quint-thc
man who had saved her liie-that she had
paid him all that his services had been
worth, which in one sense was more than
true. She said she had not authorized
Mrs. Lane to make any agreement on her
behalf, and as TO the extra expenses she
had not asked Mr.. Quint to incur them,
and, therefore, did not consider herself
responsible for them. Judgs Quint has
therefore brought suit against her, not
only for the balance due on the first trial,
but also for his services IN the second
trial. lie sues for ssO75, made up as
follows -
Due on first trial, .S2b0o
Extra expenses, .,........................- bla
Total ssO7;
Judge Qunt has attached her money in
two banks, viz, In the Savings and Loan
Society, S6375, and the Odd Fellows' Bank
whatever she may have there, the officers
of the bank refusing 10 disclose he account
standing in their books to her credit. Sc
the matter stands at present. We have
heard but one opinion expressed in regard
to it, and that is fervent hope that MIR
Quint may get every cent that he hat
claimed.

Aurora Borealis have been very conspic-
uous lately. On the 25th of August one
was seen at Thurso and at llernosand, in
the Gulf Of Bothria, and fecbly also at
Lisbon on the Goth at Seyres and also at
stockholm on September ., at seyres,
Stockholm, Reyal and Windaw on Sep
tember 3, at Seyres, Paris, Hcrnosaud aud
Rome on the 4th, at Sevres, Paris, Lon
don and Archangel on the 5.h, at Sevres
and Paris on the 9Th, at HenOsand. So
that there have been in Europe, during
the period from the . to the 6.h of Sep
TENDER, an almost continuous succession
OF Aurora visible in England, France,
Scandinavia, Russia and once in Italy.
A white Aurora Borealis was observed
at Baumette, near Anglers, on the Sth OF
August, by NJ. A. Cheux, who thus
describes it " About ten O'Clock the sky
was lit mp in the noTth-northwest by a
white light and ut successive intervals
white rays were shot out mostly towards
the north or northwest. Az about 1880,
a magnificent white ray, shaped like a
fan, and % degrees in height, occupied
the northern part of the sky. This gradu-
ally faded, aud by 1l.30 the sky had re-
sumed its natural color This Is the
fourth Aurora Borealis observed in the
last four mOnths, the others having beer
seen on the 9th of May, the 9th of June
the 10Th Of July, and this on the sth oi
August. The coincidence in these monthly
dates is something rem arkable.-Nature
