There is no evidence that he entered into
relations with underwriters and plotted

any goods to be shipped by the Mosel OF

Observations made by Thomson point
to the conclusion that he intended to hand
the small box to the officers of the Mosei

went to his boarding house. and from
theEce to the office of Clark. Reeves & Co.,
in whose care he was placed by his father
As be went to work last night in the pud-
die mill it is supposed that his jollifcation
of the past week has not affected his posi-
ton with that 6rm. The majority of our
male population. while they may not be
prepared to endorse his conduct, declare
him to be "a trump, and his action in com
ing back and going to work in such a brave,
husiuess-like manner has won their un-
qualified admiration. His conduct is con-
sidered quite English in its characteristics,
and is looked upon as SO entirely different
FROM what we generally look for in such
contingencies that he has actually won
many friends who otherwise would not be
slow to condemn. Our ladies, though. are
faarfulIy exercised in the matter Some
of them will not yet believe that he is the
man, while others declare that he is a
''contemptible wretch. Be this as it may,
Frederick II Bridges is tn greatest hero
our town has had for the past twenty
years. one who is in everybody's mouth,

His bearing is the perfection of nonchal
ance. aud he goes along our streets at q
swinging gait, attending to his OWE bust
ness, looking neithe.- to the left nor right,
seemingly entirely Indifferent TO looks OF
remarks, evidently determined to fight il

JOHN BULL.
How He Proposes TO Back Ont of the Rifle
Contest

LONDON, Feb. 2.-The details of the
proposed international rife contest are not
capable of as easy arrangement as at first
supposed, There was an implied under
standing, when the National Association ae,
cepted the American challenge, that its
team selected would be the only one from
Great Britain, but the attempt of Ameri-
cans to induce teams from Scotland and
Ireland to go out will lead to the reopen
ing of the whole question if not the with
drawal of the Rifle Association from the
field altogether. A meeting is to be held
to reconsider the matter and unless the
team is strong enough to satisfy Sir Henry
Halford that it can be relied upon the AS
sociation will certainly not send any repre-
seutatives.
