B.Us Lite in London.

} B:Vs Lye IN London.
An important stand jnmp too; place or
Saturday afternoon last, at Wool Park
Grounds, Bardsley, near Ashton, the cham.
pion, J. ,Greaves, of Hazlehurst, being
mat shed against W. Brown, a man OF color,
but perfect model Of muscular develop
ment, and one Who it is p ossible, if we
judge by his performance, may yettake the
highest honors in this branch of athletic
exercise. The stakes were ESQ sid, and
about 1900 persons witnessed the affair.
Greaves, who has held the title of cham
pion for some time past, is native Of Ha-
zlehurst, village near Ashton, Lancashire,
just twenty-five years old, five feet eight
inches in height, and weighs ten stone.
His first professional match-for he ranked
for some time as an amateur-came off at
the Snipe Inn, Audenshaw, on March SO,
1873, against J. Pollitt, of Openshaw,
when Greaves won easily, and shortly after
won sweepstakes in which Pollitt, Emer-
son, and Selby took part, doing 13 #. liz
in. He was again matched against Pollitt
in July last and the affair was decided at
the Snipe Inn Grounds, Audenshaw, when,
although he gave, his opponent three
inches in one stand jump, he was backed
at five to two, but Pollitt won with
jump Of ID #. II in. They met in a match
for the third time in the following month,
and again Greaves, who was out of form,
suffered defeat since which he has not ap-
peared tillthe occasion we have to describe.
W. Brown, who is darkie," as we have
said, was born at New York, on March %,
1850. He stands five feet nine and half
inches, and weighed twelve stone eight
pounds. He jumped match against A.
Clifton, Of Woodhouse, in August 1874,
and three weeks since he easily defeated
Polltt, Of Openshaw, at three stand for
ward and three backward spring jumps for
slUO. When the men commenced consid-
eraJ4e confusion prevailed, and the specta-
tors crowded on the course. Greaves was
most fancied, and from FIVE to four the
odds rapidly rose until five to two was laid
on him. GreaveS Won the toss and elected
to try first when, taking his tw-nty.three
pound weight in hand, he did the creates.
feat ever recorded, clearing 10 feet 7 |
inches, thus beating all previous jumps in
this Country, .nd also the performance Of
searles of America, who Is cr.di,ed With
Is + e. s. inches. Browa WAS Lot 70. rsed
bv this, but shortly anerward made his
essay, which fell folr inches short at the
second attempt, he WAS only three-quartegs
,! an inch behind but the third, like the
irst, vas again four inches OFT. Although
iefeated, Brown has proved hims,lf a
,pl,riid athlete. Mr.. Z. Taylor of Bards-

woaKlNG MEN OF sotND VIEWS.

There wsss good sense rervading a meet.
ing o! working men held in New York,
last week, that We but sc!ien witness in
gatherings Of this kind. We mean by this
tina, :he men were gov s-ned by good judg-
ment. A proper consideration of The
sources OF the trouble tha, has drawn the
lire Of difference between hem and their
employers. Ii is in this connection that
the workingman when in council upon
labor troubles generally makes his blunder.
He feels deeply stang ly the wrongs that
are done himself and his or #, and he
!eaps hastily into the matter, OF course At
crihulns oil the blame to those who are
the tangible enemies uion the o:her
side. In all gatherings Of ,li. kind there

deliberate thinkers There was none Of
the con,mrn;s, ahoas their words or actions,
ard ,he.v{ssve coanse, Of profit and advsn-
:s,e. The resolutions they aiop,.i were
the mos. solid ,ha. We have ever heard of
enaaa:ing from such meeting. The s,b-
stance o: them was That they found the |
business frms Of New York embarrassed
BY the presence OF high taxation; that they
saw factories driven to other States and
counties. where only fair taxes are de-
and they declared that scarcely
= dollar Of the enormous taxes paid into
The treasury ia expended here to give EN-

out rather to keep up certain class Of

H.x Preacher. are Annoyed.

L
| Preachers have theif troubles and trial
as we'll as other people. Many things oc
cur in and out OF church which annoy
Them. Last Sunday Reading clergyman
who thinks that many of the young ladie
pay entirely top. much attention to. thei
dress and too little TO their souls, walkee
the Grecian bend in the pulpit to show the
foo!ishness Of the f:ssh:on,a and that the style
is not becoming to Christian. A re.
porter subsequently asked his opinion on
the subject of dress. He said The young
ladies themselves do not regard some Of
the fashionable articles Of apparel as be-
coming Christian women, fer many oftbem
as 500" as they obtain religion cease wear
ing superfluous 6neries andabsurd fashions.
If their love grows cold toward the Saw
iour, and they return to the follies of the
world, they add one after the other the arti-
cles of dress they had discarded. l wish
the Lord, in his mercy, would come down
and take some of the starch out Of some Of
the young folks. 1t annoys me to ace how
some Of the young members Of the church
dress. a.. '-.5.. g..
Another clergyman was asked respecting
his annoyance in church, and he replied:
1t is an annoyance to me to see people
come in late, slam the door, walk up front
with screeching shoes or a heave treaa.
Such persons not only attract my attention,
but that ofmembers Of the congregation, who
turn their heads around to see who come,
so noisily. in this way peoples thoughts
a'e taken away from the subject of the SER
mon. Some ladies, after they have
reached their seats, spend several minutes
in arranging their dress, fixing the folds Of
their skirts properly, &c. Some young
folks bring contections fruit, nuts and
cakes to church, and keep on eating and
during nsarl y the whole SER
vice.
Still another pastor stated that parents
to him that the evening ser
vices were kept up too long, g,and his daugh
tcrs came home later than he wanted them
to stay out at night. The feet was tha. the
services closed at a reasonable hour, but
The young ladies took moonlight walks
with young gentlemen instead Of going
nome directly from church.

4 rIurdcrOus Assault.

Patrick Smith, residing at Somervile,
Mass, has been for several years addicted
to the excessive use of intoxicating liquors
and his fondness for spirits has got him
into trouble several times in the past, when
he has fallen into the hands of the police.
During his drunken fits he has frequently
assaulted his wife, but she had escaped Sc
rious injuries at his hands up to Saturday.
Sunday morning, however, smith had a
quarrel with her at their house, and, It is
alleged, without provoeation, abused her
in a shocking manner, finishing his brutal
assault by taking a large iron kettle from
the kitchen stove and with II striking the
woman blow upon the head which felled
her to the floor and inflicted CHASTITY
wound, laying open the scalp to the skull
in cash several inches long. The wretch
made himself scarce, leaving the poor wo'
man TO lie senseess upon the floor until
some persons who heard the disturbance
came in, cared for her and sent for sur.
