Mr.. Peduncle prldes himself upon, it is
his perfect command of cow. With his

long switch in her hand, with which she
had been tickling the gentle animals

humanity.
The pamphlet is well received by the
press and people, and causes considera-
Bile stir in Government circles. Mr..

will fully explain to his cons tituents, the
people generally, his views on The con-

steps for securing to these dependencies
the rights and protection which have
hitherto been denied by Turkey.

The ssMiIi,T

The excitement and talk about the
fight between Tom Allen and Joe Goss
is immense among the sporting frater-
nifty. At noon to-day Allen left for the
battle-ground, accompanied by few
choice friends, and Goss follows at 8
O'Clock.
Both men seemed full of pluck and
vim, and it is safe TO say that 1t will be
hard contested fight, if car
ried out without outside inter-
ference "a result which may
come to pass, as Allen has
a great many enemies, both from Omaha
and st. Louis, great many of whom are
in this city now, and are loud in their as
sertions that Allen shall not win under
any circumstances.
On the other hand Aliens friends Of
this city and Louisville, all of whom will
be at the battle-ground, declare that he
will be the victor, and are determined
that he shall have fair play. Aud Jack
Madden, Aliens former trainer, who
few weeks ago was discharged from that
capacity, said this morning that al
though he and Allen has had little
trouble recently, and there
is not much love between
them, that he thinks Allen the best
trained man ana tne best lighter in the
world, and without doubt will issue
from the fight tomorrow as the best
man.
There will be three special excursions
to the fighting ground, two OF them
leaving this city early tomorrow
morning. The one containing the
press, invited guests and others, will
leave some time tonight, from where
and to what destination deponent saith
not.
Aliens seconds have been decided OIL,
and it is understood they will be Tom
Kelly and Arthur Chambers. Goss' sec
onds are Jem Mace and Joe
Coburn. Jack Looney and a
party of roughs, twenty-five in number,
arrived in this city this morning, aud,
being already full OF bad whisky, soon
scattered to their not unfamiliar haDnts
in the Queen City.
"Dad" Ryan has been agreed upon as
referee, aud will no doubt serve i'll that
delicate position.
Pools this morning were selling 20 to
% in favor Of Allen at one place, and at
another were even.
All indications are to the effect that
one OF the largest parties that ever wit.
messed similar exhibition will be on
hand tomorrow, when Goss and Allen
shy their castors, and those who 60 can
expect to see a stubborn and
hard fought fight.
