A RUSSIAN "SroRr."-Nothing per-
haps more s,rikingly exempiifes the
physical fortitude OF the Russian peas
ants than one of their national sports
strange mixture OF British boxing and
Japanese harikari. The nature OF this
sport viii. appear from the following
description by a traveller in Russia OF
what he Witnessed: A stalwart Russ,
some six feet high, was being punished
by an adversary fully six inches shorter
than himselfin a most atrocious fashion.
The blows fell upon his head and face
one after the other, being dealt with a
slow swinging deliberation and received
with such apparent thanktulness that
for some moments our astonishment
was too great TO inquire of the admiring
spectators around what it all meant
We We're told, to our no less surprise,
that tins was Russian boxing match
the object being, not for the adversa-
ries to inflict the greatest samount OF
punishment upon each other, but to see
which one received the greater num-
Der OF blows before calling for quarter.
On another occasion, we learn from the
same authority, the actors were stal " ar:
Boyard and still more stalwart serf.
The contest took place in the village
mn. or. challenge from the Boyard-
The trial waste be proceeded with by
turns of three blows each. the Boyard
commencing. He dealt the serf a tre-
mendous blow full IN the mouth, cutting
his lips and bruising them almost to a
pulp. The second blow was deal, on
the nose, " hich forthwith disappeared.
The third closed up one Of his eyes. bot
not sound did the victim utter, nor
did muscle twitch in his mansled
face. The Boyard now put himself in
position To pass his examination: but
whether he was simply acting as one OF
those choice dessert fruits that are pu,
on the table on the :aeit understanding
that they are not TO be touched, or
whether the serf was too conscious OF
his power could not be satisfactorily de-
tcrmined; anyhow the serf. having
raised his fist with an ominous swing,
brought il with tremendous sweep
against the edge OF the massive porce-
la,a stove and knorked . picrc out oi
il the size Of mans head, observing al
the same time that he did not wish to
mess the room with the masters
brains. After this horrible description
we need not wonder At any tales oI
Russian endurance.

WALL STREET,

WEDNESDAY. August SIP. NJ
There was not even ripple OF excitement to day to
vary the calm monoony OF the very slim stock specu
ation. Western Union still occupies attention OF
the street. and It's varied phases the subject OF
considerable discussion. Opening this morning at 4
below the closing price OF yesterday IL fell low as
7ot, afterward recovering to 1871 and closing this
tho highest figure Of the day. The still insists
that the variations arc owing to tho attempts Of the
soourner at Irvngton to market his Stock and this
likely any other explanation. The rurnor that
the telegraph magnates had smoked the pipe of peace
again circulated to-day and gwen as reason for
the decline in Western Union and mentioned as
precursor Of higher eures 1t also stated that the
Atlantic Pacific line is about extend their wires
through the Northwest and that has already
been drawn up for limo from Minneapolis st. Paul
Another coal combination is reported to be among
the probabilities of the immediate future and would
be more likely DO successful at the preseu. uncture
than at any other time. Coal rs said be scarce In
New York, and the large companies unwilling to
enter into any largo contracts for the future. The
cessation OF operations in the coal regions consequent
the late strikes and the likelihood of considerable
delay before the mines can be worked again would
ave the auocrats OF the coal hole opportunity to
send coal up to something Of its former price Actu-
ted by these sentiments the few spectators whom
he heat had not driven from the the delights
the cruising yachts had iallcd to allure from their
pastures eagerly bought these stocks and a marked
advance ensued. Delaware and Hudson opened at II
