INTERNATIONAL SPORTS.

The American rifle team having
accepted the challenge Of the Irish
marksmen to shoot a match, have de-
parted for the "ould sod and that
there will be nm interesting contest
no mi can doubt who remembers the
victory for the American over the Ir-
ish team last summer at Creedmoor,
near New York. We are glad to
note this tendency of the times to
outdoor sports, and think that these
contests of skill between the athletic
youth Of both countries merit the ut
most consideration. "All work and
no play makes either Jack or
Jonathan the dullest of boys, and the
pale cheeks Of the youth of our larger
cities tend to show that the system
of gymnastic training 50 generally in
vogue in Europe is an admirable one,
which we would do right to follow.
Bread and cheese, roast beef and
wholesome ale make our British cou-
sins rudy of cheek and strong OF
limb; buckwheat-cakes ,molasses and
ice-water which gives the transact
lantic boys good appetite Is what in
duces consumption and merton.
The city clerk in London either be-
longs to a rowing club, carries a rifle
in the ranks Of the volunteers, is i
cricketer, or a lover Of long walks.
The youth who occupies a similar po-
sition in New York, Boston, or any
Of our great cities, is emaciated and
weak, while his face somewhat re-
semblest the color Of corn-cake and his
muscles are as timber as a wet cloth.
What he wants is exercise what he
needs to make. him stalwart and
strong as his British peer, is good,
hearty exercise-and plenty Of it.
The boy who toils.at a desk all day,
and wanders away from his task to d
sofa and adyspeptic novel cannot hope
to retain his health and strength like
the English youth who tramps for
miles through mud and mire every
day for the sake of keeping up his
pluck and spirit. Let lis have these
contests by the wholesale they will
prove more eficacious than all the
patent medicines ever concocted.

The Coal Region.

PeTTsvILLE, PA. June Avery
thing reported quiet this morning
about Mahonoy City. Raiders have
~disbanded, andar scattered through
the neighboring country. The collie
ries that were stopped yesterday re-
commenced work this morning I'M
m0lested. The only disturbance
since the arrival Of the troops was
an alarm early this morning, caused
by a party of Mahonoy City Modocs
firing at a body Of raiders. There
was considerable firing, and the
troops were promptly turned out
Nobody hurt. One of the raiders
shot yesterday died before morning.
Adjutant General Latta and General
Seigfreid are at Mahonoy City in
speeding the military and arranging
for permanent quarters, the citizens
having petitioned for theirstay until
work isfreely resumed and coincidence
established. Threats have been pub
licly made to burn the town.
1t is now alleged that the raid was
made by HaZleton strikers because
they were on the eve of victory in
that region, and were arranging
with the operators to resume work
on their own terms, and the arrange
ment had been broken up by the re-
sumption at Mahanoy city.

Sherman Defends HIMSELF

CHICAGO, June 5.-Gen Sherman
has been in this city several days and
conversed freely in regard to the
Mentors, which have been so severe
ly criticised. He earnestly disavows
any lack of respect for the volunteers
who composed the bulk of the army,
and speaks of them in the highest
terms. He defends his appointment
of Gen. Howard in preference to Lo-
gan and Blair, on the ground that
the latter gentlemen were as much
interested in politics as in war, and
he desired a General who had no
thought beyond the army. He ex
presses warm admirationfor the abil-
ity of both Logan and Blair.
In regard to general politics, he
says President Grant does not want
a third term for himself, but
perhaps he would like to see one of
his friends, perhaps Washburn elect
ed. In any event, he remarked, it
must be an able man who is to sue
coed him. The newspapers, he says,
as far as he (Gen'l. Sherman) is con-
cerned, need not trouble themselves
in regard to him in that connection.
