Paize- Fight With Il Goat.
Louisville Journal

Timothy Doolan, brawny local
pugilist, fol Il nominal wager, agreed
to fight a billy goat in the magic cir
Gle. Near the rolling mill a level
plat of ground was cleard and John
Jackson produced large buck goat.
No time was wasted. Both combatantS
were taken to their corners. Andy
Quad seconded Tim, and John Jack
son was the goats best friend. Tim
put his pipe in safe hands, rolled up
his sleeves and said he was ready for
the first round.
Tim went over gamely to the goats
corner and hit him stunning blow
on the side of the head, and gave him
Il kick in the side with his hob nail
ed" shoes. Cries of foul" around
the ring. The referee decided that
Tim must take off his shoes, which
was done Tim was given another
drink from a friendly bottle and
went to the scratch for the second
round
Tim made another lunge at the
goat, and fell short. The goat got in
a good one tearing his pants and max
ing the blood come freely. Cries of
first blood for the goat Tim again
faced the goat, struck him a stunning
blow between the horns and fell flat
on the ground.
On the third round the goat went
to the scratch smiling. Tim looked
"groggy." His hand was skinned
and bleeding The seat of the pants
was badly torn, and blood ran down
over his feet. 1t was plain to all
that, barring accidents the goat would
win A large crowd had gathered
by this time, nearly all of them in
favor of the goat. The goat reared
on his hind legs, made desperate
lunge at Tim, drove both horns IN his
belly and laid him out on the grass
Andy took him to his corner, applied
the usual remedy to bring him to
biting his ear, pricked him under the
nails, and so on; but it was no use
Tim was badly beaten, and SO the re
fierce so decided for the goat Tim
was taken home in time to keep from
being locked up, and the goat was
led back to the stable smiling.

Dwelling In Unity.

The harmony which is growing in the
democratic party is Commcndable, "How
sweet and pleasant It is for brethren to dwell
in unity" The manager of the democratic
hippodrome William H.--not Phincas t.
BarDum has done noble deed in ondeavor-
ing TO save tho tottering reputation of Mr..
Tildon anont the campaign Of 1880. The
words of the manipulation of democratic
forces and tho Morey letter were balm indeed
to the injured Samuel, and might be panacea
for his more recent political ills but
for the ominous sounds which como from
Connecticut. Divers and sundry democrats
in that state unhositatingly assert that the
virtuous Barnum was more faithful to Til
den than to Hancock, and that he repeated
the tactics of Fitz John Porter when tho
battle was on. One of them writes to the New
Haven Register that tho results of the election
of 1850 in Connecticut convince him that
the charges of treachery made against somc
of our leaders to our gallant candidate in
1850 are not without foundation and should
be thoroughly looked into before those lead
crs arc again trusted and enabled to commit
repetition of such nefarious acts"
1t looks very much that way to the general
public. Just as Mcclellan gave his generals to
understand that it was his desire to " lot Pope
get out of his scrape" as best he might, SO it
appears that artful Samuel desired to "let
Hpncock get out of his scrape" if ho could.
Just as Fitz John Porter withheld the sinews
of war when the decisive battle of second
Bull Run was being fought, it appears
that Barnum withheld the flower of
the democratic army when Hancock was
in the great conflict. These are of course,
only suppositions SO far as Mr.. Barnum is con-
cernod and as to Mr.. Tilden's desires in the
premises. Mr.. Tilden may have been Jealous
overmuch for the election of his successful
rival, and Mr.. Barnum may have been an
honorable campaigner Itlooks, though, like
u third Bull Run in many respects. 1t is OF
small consequence to the republican party
how this little bit of history adjusts itself, but
it is very interesting to note the growth OF
democratic harmony and to "behold how these
brethren love one another"

A Worthy Undertaking.

The enthusiasm excited throughout the
south by the Louisville exposition is crafty
ing not only to the people of that city, but
to the entire country. The vast and unde-
vcloped resources of the southern states are
comparatively unknown to the world In
deed, surprising as it may seem, the indus
trial capabilities of the south have been un-
known even to the people of that section
until recently. The new world was unknown
aud hdden,from man for centuries because
the worlds civilization had produced no
man with brain large enough, no man
with heart large enough, no man
with will mighty enough to lift from the
watery wastes and present to his fellowmen
this greatest splcndor of creation. Thus it
has boon with the south. Years have como
and gone while the ease loving dreamers of
that beautiful land have closed their eyes to
the lavish expenditures of nature in their be-
half The bursting of tho bubble slavery,
startled them to new life and activity. They
arc new men in a new world. The fertile
fields, hills, valleys, and streams are no longer
peopled with walking dead men-dead
to all else but political ambition.
They are teeming with thought
and labor. The exposition is attracting
tho attention of men in the north and east.
Even the great and wonderful west is send .
| ing representative men to look upon what
seems almost fairy land even unto them.
| Whoever has seen and known the south, her
agricultural wealth of possibilities, and the
undevolOped ores which patiently await the
thrifty hands of toll, will not wonder at the
greatness of the exposition and the enthu-
siasm by it evoked, A vast outlay of money
is there represented. 1t was made in sys-
tematc manner, and with commendable
intention. 1t will pay. Not only will the
city be benefited and improved by the influx
of visitors, but the entire area of country there
represented will be lifted into national prom
inenco by tho introduction thus given to tho
capital of other sections. An effort is now
being made to secure the attendance of immi-
grants from Europe as they land upon our
shores. Tho commissioners desire to exhibit
the possibilities of the south to tho hardy
now comers who arc seeking homes in Amer
lea. All men of patriotic instincts will wish
for the management Of tho Louisville expo
sition the greatest of good fortune and pros
perity.
