A Mayor Fight with a Pugllist.

The Mound City (Ill) 1ryns says:
Not many Of our Pulaski county readers
are probably aware that their .distin-
guished fellow-citizen, DR.. N. R. Casey,
of this city, once taught the celebrated
prize-fighter, Mike McCoole, and came
out Of the engagement with laurels. It
happened in this wise:
The doctor was mayor of Mound CITY
at the time. away back in 1866 Or there
abouts, and he was in his room at his
residence shaving, when he observed
from his window crowd in the street
nerr by, and great, overgrown man
pounding another man numerically.
With only one side of his face shaved.
the doctor rushed out to command the
peace and put a stop to the disturbance.
He rushed up to the great pugilist, who
was none other than Mike McCoole, and
taking him by the arm told him he was
under arrest, and to go with him. Mike
eyed the doctor with contempt, then let
fly right handler and knocked him over
The doctor saw stars for moment but
picked himself up and clinched McCoole
They went to grass together with Mac on
top and hand we'll fastener in the doctors
topknot. Seeing the opportunity the
doctor LET drive his feet, hitting Mac in
the pit of the stomach violent kick ana
knocking him clear away from him, but
McCoole took handful Of the doctors
hair with him. McCoole felt a weakness
in the stomach for a moment from the
! doctors foul blow, during which time the
doctor obtained a perpendicular.
In the mean time, the spectators, who
were mostly coal boat men, had formed
ring and called for fair fight. Hav-
ing had touch of AIcCool's quality the
doctor was little slow coming to time
on the third round, and while Mac was
edging toward him the city marshal,
John McCune, rushed through the ring
with revolver in hand and cooked,
and placing the muzzle at A1cCool's ear
told the pugilist to 80 with him, and he
went, deeming discretion the better parl
Of valor, and grertly to the relief Of the
doct, r. who turned white when Informed
who his eminent antagonist was, for Nc
Coole was noted then as about the best
man in An erica as puoilist
The crowd he was with were mostly
strangers in the city, and did not know
the doctor any better than he knew Nc
Coole. The pugilist left tea dollars il

A Queens Death.
ELIZABETH OF ENeLAND's LAST DAYS

ELIZABETH OF ENGLANDs LAST DAYS.
If the ministers and courtiers were
counting on her death, Elizabeth had no
mind to die. She had enjoyed life as the |
men Of her day enjoyed it, and now that
they we're gone they chung to it with
fierce tenacity. She hunted, she danced,
she tested with her young favorities, she
COquettcd and sCOlded and frOlicked at
sixty-seven as she had done at thirty.
"The Queen wrote courtier a few
months before her death, twas never so
gallant these many years nor so set upon
jollity." She persisted, in spite Of oppo-
sitlon, in her gorgeous progress from
country house to country house. She
chung to Business as of old, and rated in
her usual fashion ''one who minded
not giving up some matter Of account"
But death crept on. Her face became
haggard, and her frame shrank almost to
a skeleton. At last her taste for fnery
disappeared, and she refused to change
her dress for week together. Astrangc
melancholy settled down on laer.
''She held in her hands, says one who
saw her in her last days, "a golden cup,
which she often put to her lips; but in
truth her heart seemed too full to need
more filling.
Gradually her mind gave wa5. She
lost her memory, the violence of her tenn
per became unbearable, her very courage
seemed to forsake her. She called for
sword to lie constantly beside her, and
thrust it from time to time through the
arras, as if she heard murderers stirring
there. Food and rest became alike dis
tasteful. She sat day and night propped
| up with pillows on stool, her finger on
her lips, her eyes fixed on the floor with
out word. If she once broke the ST.
lence it was witha fash of her old queen
illness. When Sir Robert Cecil declared
that she must 90 to bed the word reused
her like trumpet.
'sMust!'' she exclaimed; ''is must a
word to be addressed to princes? Little
man, little man! thy father, if he had
been alive, burst not have used that
word.''
Then, as her anger spent itself, she
sank into the old detection.
Thou art so p1esumptuous,' she said,
"because thou knowest that / shall die"
She rallied once more when the minis
tiers beside her named Lord Beauchamp,
the heir to the Suffolk claim. as 8 possible
| successor. SIS. r.
Il will have no ppgue's SON." she cried,
hoarsely, Tin my seat"
But she gave no sign save motion of
the head at the mention Of the King Of
Scots. She was, in fact, fast becoming
insensible; and early the next morning,

the renewal of hostilities is discussed as

THE ENTRANCE OF THE BRITISH FLEET
into the Dardanellss, before the conclusion
Of the armistice, would have been answered,

would now be the case, is doubtful. A war

that Grand Duke Nicholas will enter Con-

will come as guest and friend Of the
