PRIZE FIGHTING.
Desperate Contest of sixteen Rounds.


A desperate fight took place in this
dler y Neary and Mike Mullary, of
Providence, r. l. The pugilists fought
according to the new rules of the Lon
don prize ring, with naked fists and
catch weights. The fight was only wit
messed by a select number of sporting
men, as little or no publicity had been
given to the affair Neary stands five
feet eight inches, and weighs 80
pounds. He is an English pugilist, and
has fought numerous battles in Eng
land His fights in this country have
been with Peter Crocker of New York,
and Mike Gillespie, Of Philadelphia.
Mullary stands five feet seven inches,
and weighs $50 pounds. He recently
came here from Providence. He has
never fought a regular prize ring battle,
but has fought numerous glove fights.
Neary was seconded by Mike Gillespie,
of Philadelphia, and Jack Mclean, of
New York. Mullarv was seconded by
Reilly, of this city, who fought King.
The pugilists reached the fighting
ground quietly, when all preliminaries
for the mill were arranged. After a
well known sport was selected as referee
the fight began. Mullarv was in the
best condition, and showed decided
lead in the fighting from the start. He
gained first blood in the first round and
first knock-down in the thirteenth.
Sixteen rounds were fought, when
Mullary fought Neary to stand still.
Neary was terribly punished, and was
not able to win. His seconds refused to
let him fight any longer. The fight last
ed thirtv-five minutes.

years have passed since the last war

From Labouchere. in London Truth

As to laughing, how seldom, except
on the stage, do We hear a really mu-
steal laugh Some girls make dreadful
grimaces when they laugh. A little
education in the art would make their
laughter artificial, and they would sure
" enjoy it all the more if they could
realize that they might indulge in mirth
without making themselves look so
very ugly as is occasionally the case
1t runs in families sometimes to dis
tort the countenance in laughter I

A Mrs. Carr, Of Pittsburg. has be-
come insane, and from one Of the
strangest causes on record. About two
weeks ago, while asleep, she was either
bitten or stung by a spider or some
other insect, and the next morning a
small, but very much inhamed, pimple
was observed on the spot where the
wound was inflicted, and the arm be-
gan to swell, and from the wrist to the
shoulder there were poisoned blotches,
the whole arm and side having the APP
pearance Of being badly burned. Dr.
Rex was summoned, and under his
treatment the inflammation was re-
duced. But about four days ago, either
from the effects Of the poison or from
the shock to her nervous system. Mrs.
Carr became insane, and now she is q

We have always thought North Caro-

of the country. His citizenship is &C
knowledged, and his rights under the

concerned, he sits on %juries, votes as

spects, is far in advance of the racc in
any other Southern State. Through

1891!

These figures which have become
nauseols to Republicans, were in
discriminatory marked over promi-
nent places in Eaton one night last
week, at which many supporters of
Garfield were very indignant. We
do not approve of the marking of
these figures, or any other characters
on private property OR in front Of
public business houses, but as it is
an established fact and an undeni-
able truth that Garfield did take
1929 interest on Mobilier stock that
had been criminally given him, the
figures should he kept before the
people and every voter know it. The
Republicans themselves branded
them upon their candidate, and by
continually rubbing they should be
kept bright in the eyes of every hon
est man. This can be done without
intruding upon the private rights OF
your neighbor.

The political skirmish of Tuesday
last, in the States of Ohio and Indi-

conceded Ohio to the Republicans
and never felt very confident of Indi
ana, because we were satisfied that
it would be almost impossible for
the gallant Democracy of that State
to successfully stem the tide of ras-
cality and corruption being brought
against it in October, and if it has
gone against US, as it looks at the
present writing, we have not the
least fears of it in November. Gen.

votes stronger in the State of Indi-

The journal of Industry" an
able and distinguished paper, pub
lished at Raleigh, North Carolina,
and owned and edited by colored
men, comments as follows upon the
races in that State. Their testimony
differs somewhat from that of the
radical howlers of the North, but we
suspect the North Carolina men to
be better informed upon the subject,
and more truthful than the 'bloody-

up sectional strife, and making loud

by Southern colored men:
We have never considereditimpos
sible for the two races to live and
prosper upon the same soil. To the

the subject, that there was an instinct
i've sympathy existing between the
white and colored C which would
awaken into life and activity with the
cessation of the bitter political strife
which succeeded the war. That such
is the case; that there is a deep nat
ural sympathy of feeling and interest
existing between the two races, is be-
coming more evident every day. We
speak particularly of our own State
and people. Born and reared among
them, we think we know their char
