The "noble art" which, thanks to its pro-
fcssors, has SO utterly declined in this country
that their advertised fights are all fzzles, has
still its patrons in the British capital Recently
Napier, the recognized champion Of the
feather weights, and Davis, q brother of the
glove, met in the old Baptist chapel Grafton
street, Soho, to contest for the Marquis of
Queensburys prize and stake Of five hun
bred dollars. Several hundred British citizens
witnessed the battle, at the cost of five dollars
each, and saw o scene which would have dis
gusted beasts. The combatants were stripped
to the waist and duly attended by seconds.
Bets were freely made, Napier being the
favorite. After ON hour of play the men
closed in deadly earnest and fought with terrific
violence. Davis threw his opponent re-
peatedly upon the hard floor. Backers of
both sides rushed into the ring and fought for
their friends. Finally, Napier bleeding pro-
fuseiy, appeared to be dead and could not be
further rallied by pouring water upon his
back and head. The referee awarded the
victory to Davis. Great excitement and dis
order reigned throughout tie neighborhood,
where multitude was assembled, making
riot disgraceful to the worst haunts Of vice in
any city. London newspapers, which were
shocked OF the onormities of chicken dis
pute which was narrated in the HERALD few
weeks since, should turn their attention to the
publication of Soho. and endeavor, in the
future, to prevent repetitions of these brutal

on which the publishers abundantly promise to i'm

the proprietors do not ''protest too muchu viii be

The necessity of Immediately setting about
the rescue of those left on board the Polaris
with the best means obtainable includes the
commander to make the search. The Polaris,
when last seen, was heading for o harbor on
the south Of Northumberland Island, one of
those places in very high ATTITUDES which, be-
yond having o place on the best charts, is
known only to very few by the experience Of
visiting it. DR.. Hayes, the leader of the cele-
brated expedition which reached Cape Union
and placed Mount Parry on the map, is one of
the few. He is familiar with the coast line of
Smiths Sound, and Northumberland Island
will be found on the maps accompanying the
story of his arctic voyaging. To him
the United States government should look
as the leader Of the search expedition
for the Polaris and the remainder of her crew.
The chartering Immediately Of vessel like
the Tgress, especially built for these icy seas
fitting her out ct st. Johns, Newfoundland;
placing government crew on board, differed
from the navy, and the whole put under the
command of DR.. Hayes, would enable the ex-
petition to start in q very short time and
with the best chances of success. We urge on
the government the adoption of this plan, by
which alone the survivors can be reached be-
fore the ice barrier is thrown across Baffin
Bay With the materials so invitingly at
hand it would be folly to turn aside and COM
mence the outfit of government vessel in q
score Of ways unfit for arctic navigation. The
valuable knowledge of DR.. Hayes of how to
conduct exploration in the northern frigid
zone should be utilized by entrusting him
with the task of rescue, which, under less ex-
perienced guidance, may lead to fresh catas-
trophe, with the loss Of additional lives.

Tho Fourteenth street Poisoning Case.
The poisoning of the servants of Mr.. Blatch-
ford in Fourteenth street. and Of the family Of
the garbage gatherer to whom meat was given
at the house of Mr.. Blatchford has been in
vested with unnecessary mystery by the mixed
up statements that have been made to newspa-
per reporters, and through the needless sensi-
tiveness and delicacy of some of the family
and the servants. There has been no desire
to cover up the facts nor any motive for doing
so. There is little doubt that the servants and
the poor family to whom meat was given In
charity were poisoned by the corned beef OF
which all partook, and the doctor says the
poison was arsenic The remains Of the meat
have been given to MIR. Neergaard for analysis.
This will resolve the difficulty so far. How
the poison got into the meat may not be dis
covered, for the venerable old gentleman, Mr.
Blatchford, who bought the meat does
not remember where he purchased 1t.
He is in the habit of going round
to different markets, as many of the old and
wealthy residents of NewTork do, to purchase
meat for the family, and being over seventy
years of age. and of feeble memory, and seeing
no necessity tor noting specially where he
makes oil his purchases, he does not recollect
at what meat store or butchers he bought the
corncd beef. If the meat were poisoned, as
appears probable, the poison got into it by
some accident. SO far from there being any de-
sire to disguise withhold the facts, the family
physician DR.. F. L. Harris, mentioned them
to an old detective who is now connected with
one of the District Courts of the city, Mr..
Frank McIntire and remarked at the time that
he DR.. Harris, might require McIntires SER
vices. This was on the very evening of the
day DR.. Harris was first called to see the poi
soned servants. DIR. Harris mentioned the
circumstance also on Thursday to gentleman
connected with this paper as well as to many
others. Besides, he and persons connected
with the Blatchford family went round to nu-
merous drug stores to find out where the
arsenic had been sold, and to whom, though
there was little doubt from the first that the
poisoning arose from some accident. All who
partook of the poison are recovering, and,
indeed, some have fully recovered. No one &C
quainted with the circumstances Thinks crime
has been committed.

WHAT WILL He Do WITH L?-Under the
new military law of Italy King Victor
Emmanuel viii soon have regular army of
three hundred thousand men Of all arms, and
mobile militia Of two hundred and fifty
thousand, of which it is expected two hun
dred thousand will be effective. This will
give him half million fighting men for ser.
vice, with over one thousand pieces of field
artillery. For nation having less than one
thirtieth part of the extent of the United
States this is o pretty heavy draft from the
classes best able to labor in population Of
twenty-six millions. We have more than forty
millions, and legitimate use for troops yet
our people would never, in time of peace,
sanction the support Of fifty thousand soldiers.
Royalty which needs such enormous bolster
ing by bayonets can have small reliance in
The love and loyalty Of its subjects. What
does the head of the House Of Savoy intend to
do with this great army9 and why, in time Of
peace, need SO large o share of his people be
ornamental non-prssAccys-l.

OPPOSITION TO THE MINISTERIAL Policy IN
JTALY.-Italy seems at present to be in o
strangely disorganized condition. Rome is
fierce in its opposition to Papal authority and
strongly in favor of the suppression of the
religious bodies. In Florence, on the con-
trary, all the sympathy is on the side Of the
Pope and the Church and against the govern
ment. In the latter city riots have already
taken place. 1t would not be at oil wonderful
if this Religious Corporation Suppression bill
should yet involve Italy in all the miseries Of
civil war. Reform is dangerous when it goes
against the popular will
