Sullivan. the pugiis', surnamei the
'slugger," met Siade, the Maori, at the
Madison Square Garden in New York
city on Monday night, and in three rounds
successfully knocked" the Maori '.out."
The N. Y. Sun speaks editorially of the
encounter as follows:
There has not for many dav been a
more interesting, terrific or conclusive dis
ply of fistic science than that of sullivan
and Slade last night at the Madison Square
Garden. The spectators were raised to
boundless ardor by the appearance Of the
two pugilistic giants in the ring, the
skill of the opening passages of The battle
the vehemence of the champions attack
upon an adversary whose proportions and
weight were even greater than his own,
the way in which, from the very first,
proof was given of the eviden' superiority
of Sullivan, who seemed like inearnate
energy vital in every part, the pluck of
Sade under punishment which made him
stagger. the style in which he was fl ,ored
again and again, till the closing scenes
and the triumphant stride Of the victor
toward his fallen foe to shake hands,
when the vast multitude's hoarse and ex-
ultant roar rose to the vaulted roof from
which it reverberated till it mingled again
with the still rising roar, producing an
effect like that which is described as
accompanying the recent earthquake at
Ischia. Sullivan had made even easier
work Of Slade than he made of Mitchell
at his last battle in this city, and the
champion showed again that no adversary
is to be found worthy of his gloves The
fifteen thousand spectators went quietly
home to their bel'igercnt dreams.

On the ferty -seconG ballot the Legisla-

succeeded in electing Austin F. Pike, but
not before the whole country was disgust
ed with the spectacle presented of the
highest legislative Office in the United
States being made prize to be bargained

only redeeming feature of the wrangle at
Concord, says the Baltimore Sun, is the
evidence it presents of the prevalent dis
position TO defeat caucus nominations
dictated by boss. Rollins has lost his
prestige as a manager. With the Hon.
VIM. E. Chandler, Secretary of the Navy,
the case is worse; inasmuch as he has
promised in local contest his ma
tional reputation as manipulation of sui
frages. His laurels won in 1876 are turn
ed to cypress in 1888. 1t is hard case
indeed that person who makes Hayes a
President cannot make himself Senator.

Ne arly all the fish eaten in An

Nearly all the fish eaten in America as
sardines come from Maine. They are
small herring. Sometimes only bushel
or two are taken at time, and at others
so many as to endanger the net. The de-
gree of dexterity with which they are
cleaned is astonishing, especially as it is
done by very young children. After this
they are placed on large gridirons, and
suspended over a hot fire to broil. The
boxes are prepared with attractive French
labels indicating olive oil, but this is false
as the oil is cottonseed. The packing is
another operation at which little people
ere expert A fish is seized in each hand
and laid lengthwise in the box, first head
at the outer end and then tail. After
the boxes are full small quantity of oil
is poured in, and then they are passed to
men who solder them tightly. They are
next thrown into an immense cauldron,
where they are boiled two hours, thus
completing the cooking process, and dis
solving the bones of the fish. One of the
establishments in Lubec prepares about
1000 boxes daily, and there are nineteen
such places in Eastport, besides many
others at seaport towns. The actual cost
per box, including all expenses, is said to
be five cents.

New York Times, because Mr.. Benjamin
II. Brewster, who is the Attorney General
of the United States, is also attorney for
the Western Union Telegraph company
II the Government should be compelled to
bring an action against the company in
consequence: of its refusal to receive and
promptly transmit the messages of the

it is thought that Mr.. Brews er's dual al
legiance would be a source of some en-
barrassment to the Government This is
quite possible, but how is the Government
going to help itself? 1t cannot in the
whole country find a lawyer fit to be At

some great corporation. The corporations
look upon the courts as battlefield where
the victory goes to the heaviest battalions

retain the services of lawyers who have
become conspicuous for skill and success.
As they all "buy their law by the year.

probably the delegation from New York

divided between the three leading fac

this is an easy solution of the difficulty,
