The Volksfreund says: Sherman is the
candidate If the so-caIIed patricians of the
Republican party. The plebeians want
Grant. The patricians will find it the
same as in 1872 when they wanted Adams
and got Greeley. If any one considers this
compliment to Sherman. We have no OBJ
lection. As to Grant, We can allow it, and
that does not say much.
The Volksblstt says: He will not de.
cline. He has never refused anything. He
will not refuse anything. General Grant
is to be considered as general candidate,
the same as Sherman, Blaine or WASH
burne. He has come down from his high
horse and seated himself on pony.

Prize Fight in East Hartford.

A large crowd of colored and white people were attracted to the East side Sunday by the report of a fight to settle the question which was the better man of the two, between AL bert Ockra colored man, with one leg, and Nicholas Monroe, colored man, with one eye. John Sipples, another colored man, whole in body, we believe, was chosen refe- rec; and the parties, after the ring had been drawn off and properly roped in, went at it. It was impossible amid the confusion to find out how many rounds had been fought, for after while it was said that the one-legged man had beaten the one-eyed fellow into 8 brown jelly, and then there was a general scramble, during which Stephen Bundy, an other colored fellow, got roughly handled. The affair has been kept quiet, as all such things should be, especially if happening on Sunday, and no arrests have been made Hartford Times

Fowler,s American Roadster.


 Mir. Frank Fowler's American Roadster, his new invention, which has attracted much at- tention, is still on exhibition in the window of H. B. Armstrong $ o.'s, Chapel street. It is. model of elegance and symmetrical construction, and has all the improved at tachments, including the double alarm bell and head light for night travel. All parts of the machine are adjustable and can be fitted together tightly after years of service. The invention was patented February and April 1, both in this and foreign countries, and it can be purchased for the same amounts as the best imported English bicycle. It weighs fifty-five pounds aud can carry a man weigh ing 25o pounds safely. With 1t twenty miles an hour can be made with ease. The three wheels operate over rough and country roads most satisfactorily and much more easily than is the case with the bicycle, of which the Roadster is formidable competitor. It re- quires no preparatory experiences of an az gravating nature before it can be of service, as is the case in learning to use the bicycle, and balancing is not required while power is obtained from both pedals worked either up- ward or downward. It is proposed to manu- facture trycicles for the use of, ladies carrying the seats lower than in the present style. It is to be hoped that the manufacture of the machines will be kept in New Haven. It is understood that unless company is soon or ganized for the purpose in this city. that the machine will be taken to New York and ex- hibited there.
