PRIZE FIGHT.

The prize fight which we yester-
day stated had been interrupted by
.he bruisers running against = saloon
same Off after all. The names of the
bruisers are Jerry Kelly and Jim
Haynes, and our sporting reporter
furnishes the following account of the
affair:
The fight took place in a sequest-
cred dell just forninst the graveyard.
Kelley first SHE'D his castor into the
ring, and was soon followed by
Haynes, who sat down on the ground
and hollered "time." After tossing
tor choice Of corners, Kelley win
ming the upper side, the men strip
ped to the buff, and on slime" being
called by the bottle holder IA gentle
man who was passing with bottle
of whisky in his HANDY the men ad-
vanced towards each other and shook
hands, aud simultaneously Kelly hit
his opponent left handler under the
ear which sent Mr.. Haynes to the
sagebrush. First knoek-down for
Kelly.
Round Sec0nd-Time being called,
Kelly came up smiling and Haynes
Erinning to think how pretty he
looked with . goose-egg under his
ear. After some preliminary spar
ring, Kelly let out with his left,
catching his opponent Immediately
on the proboscis AMI sending him to
grass with . stream OF claret flowing
from his bugle. First blood for
Kelly. From this round TO round
seventy nine and last, Kelly forced the
fighting, aud in the seventy ninth
round Haynes retreaied to his cor
ner, on the top of q little hillook,
where Kelly got Lin over the ropes
and was Furnishing him severely,
when Haynes, made = rally and
getting Kelly's head in chancery
commenced cat tclawing him and
kept on till Kelly's face looked like
On exaggerated map Of the Comstock
ledge. Rendered desperate by pain,
Kelly went for his opponents ribs,
and after few we'll directed blows,
Haynes threw up the sponge and
hollered enough.
Kelly Is now the acknowledged
champion Of the Tolyabe range. and
his admirers contemplate giving
him q benefit at the Clifton Thea.

SAVINGS BANKS.

The EnRllSu OoNeIuuicut udS
novel system of savings banks which
has been in successful operation for
some time. They are known as
postoffice savings banks, and one of
Them is connected with nearly every
nostoffice in England. The manner
in which they are conducted is thus
described: The Government guar
antees the safety of the deposits. and
the payment of the interest upon
them. A person wishing to make
deposit must present written state
ment of his name, address and occu-
patton, and sign declaration that
he has no interest, except as trus-
tee, in any deposits in any other
savings bank. Deposits must not be
less than one shilling (25 cents), and
must consist of even shillings. No
person can deposit more than 33o in
any year, or more than ESQ in all.
Interest of 2Ls per cent. is paid on
all sums of pound and is CON-
bounded at the close of each calen.
dar year. When the accumulated
interest or any deposit of ESQ makes
the whole amount to the credit OF an
individual 920O, interest ceases, but
begins again as soon as any part OF
the SUN is withdrawn. Depositors
receive receipts directly from the
general Office at London, and once a
year, on the anniversary of the day
when the first deposit was made, the
book given each depositer must be
furnished to this Office to be posted
up. There is no charge for postage
on the books or on any letters which
the depositors may need to send to
the authorities In relation to their
accounts. Deposits are re payable
on demand, and can be transferred
to or from ordinary savings banks
by certificates. The officers of the
service are forbidden 10 reveal the
name of any depositor or the amount
standing to his credit. Minors aud
married women can open accounts
in their own names. These are the
chief features ot the plan. he OBJ
ject is 10 provide pace OF deposit
for the suial. earnings oil the poor,
without interfering wi,n the BUSINESS
OF the ordinary savings banks. he
deposits are said To amount To some
twenty miilions of pounds. iiy care

The purchase oi The teie-
graphs OF the country 10y the Gov
ernment, was made WITH these funds.
1t is not improbable that 1t may be
deemed advisable TO organize ike
institutions in connection with the
postotfices of this country. Our
postal department has already many
banking features, but there scarcely
appears, AZ yet, to be denand for
the system above described, although
it is beyond question practicable
and beneficial one. In large cities
such banks would cultivate thrift
and economy among a large class OF
people who are naturally inclined to
waste even the small earnings which
they receive. But at present, our
population, as compared with Eng
land, is so scattered that the ordinary
banks furnish adequate facilities
and sufficient inducements for all
who are likely to become depositors.

The Denver NeUs says: ~. Swar-
niger, a Black Hills miner, is on his
way to Washington with petition
signed by nine hundred other min
ers camped about Cayenne and Sid
ney, asking the Government to de.
clare the gold region open to pros
pectors, whether the treaty is made
or not. The paper goes further, and
declares that unless the prayer is
granted, instanter, the miners will
invade the forbidden domain in q
body, prepared to clean out the red
skins and the military, too, If neces
sary. The petition is in exceedingly
bad temper, and the nine hundred
adventures are in fair way of get
ting beautifully snubbed.

THE OHIO CAMPAIaN.-The DEM
ocrats of Ohio are uneasy over the
visit of the Hon. Carl Schurz to that
State, for the purpose Of taking part
rs speaker in the political cam
paign. There is considerable de-
fection in the German element of the
party on account of the imitation
plank in the Democratic platform,
which Mr.. Schurz will make every
effort to increase. His convictions
are so earnest on the other side, that
he has not concealed his desire to
give expression to them; and as his
influence is known to be very great
with his countrymen, it is not doubt
ed but he will be able to widen the
breath, which may result in the
triumph of the Republican ticket.
1t is for this reason that the DEM
ocrats are apprehensive.
