SPORTING.

"JEM" WARD, ex-champion of En-
gland, who was the oldest pugilist in the
world, died in London, Eng, on the 9th,
in the Licensed Victualers' Asylum.
A BOY, sixteen years old, is credited
with defeating Cation, in st. Louis not
long since, at unlimited rail, 1000 points
up. The boy is reported as having
made two runs of 400 points.
CAPT. r. M. ANDREWS, a well-to-do
armer of Sumter County, S. c., "a

ter to Boston on wager, over the same
route he used to make the trip in the
years before railroads were constructed,
Capt Andrews, Notwithstanding his
years, is a fine specimen of physical

THE second wrestling match between
Ross, of Cleveland, and Mclaughlin, of
Detroit, came off in Detroit on the 10th.
The match was for 81, 900 a side, the re-
ceipts of the house, and the mixed
wrestling championship. The first bout,
collar-and- elbow, lasted seven minutes.
and was won by McLaughlin; the second,
side-hold, four minutes. won by Ross;
the third, collar and elbow, two minutes,
won by Mclaughlin; the fourth, side
hold, one minute, won by Ross; and the
fifth, catch-as-catch-can, eight minutes,
won by Mclaughlin.
The annual boat race between the
Oxford and Cambridge University crews
occurred on the morning of the 9TH inst.
over the regular Thames course-four
miles and two furlongs, from Putney to
Mortlake. The weather was very IN
propitious. The air was filed with a
drizzling rain, and heavy mist over
hung the river, while the water was de-
cidedly choppy. There was but few
spectators. The Cambridge crew was
the favorite from the start, and won an
easy victory.

Weariness of Lecturing.

Theodore Tilton, just before he
sailed for Europe, confessed to an I'M
speakable WEAKNESS of lecturing. The
distances are so great, the difficulty of
making connections so as to fill engage
ments are so numerous and provoking,
there are such terrible exposures to
storms and foods, the fare in most
places is so poor, and all ones civilized
habits are so broken up in a winter that
he looked forward to a seasons work
with positive dread. "Yet here I am,
after going through the floods of last
winter and being held prisoner for
DAYS, in the best of health, and going
abroad to get materials for next win
ter's lectures I want to write, but am
obliged to talk. I feel that I was made
for authorship, yet fate is determined
to get oratory out of me. But the peo-
pie are infinitely kind, and every year
/ am more than ever amazed with the
growth of the country and its increas-
ing refinement. Why, was engaged
to lecture in a Kansas town last winter
which I have never heard of. 1t is
Younger than one of my daughters.
Yet I found there a beautiful opera
house, crowded with people who were
as richly and fashionably dressed as
any audience I ever faced in this city or
Brooklyn. The West is growing away
from u.s." And away he went.-MeT-

ENGLISH LAW.

An interesting decision has just been
given by an English justice. A lunatic
in the charge of the poor law guardians
committed suicide. The widow brought
suit against the institution for damages,
on the ground of negligence, and was
awarded 81, $3.50. The two points on
which the Judge sustained the verdict
were lack of caution in confirming the
patient IN a properly guarded ward, and
a lack of attention on the part of the at
tendants. This decision may be of i'm
portance to the friends of mentally un-
sound persons intrusted to state care.
In Cook County, for example, there have
been several suicides on which actions
for damages might as easily be sustained.
The most recent instance of the kind,
was the suicide, IN the county jail, of
Jeremiah Kennedy, sentenced to con-
finement in an asylum for the insane,
with an additional death sentence for
murder Ia case he should be restored to
reason. He managed to secure razor,
walk to the dark hole, and cut his
throat. thing proper care should have
prevented.

SERIOUS CHARGES.

The Dakota capital commission, which
about year ago located the territorial
capital at Bismarck, much to the sur
prise of everybody, is being investigated,
and ''pay dirt" has been struck. In
order to render the commission unbiased
in their selection they were prohibited
from buying property In the site selected
within a stated time. It is said to have
been ascertained that the treasurer of
the commission, NJ. w. Scott, of Grand
Forks, received deeds to twenty lots in
Bismarck just before the selection of
that place for the capital. Some of the
deeds were transmitted through D. NJ.
Holmes, of Grand Forks, who says he
received $4,000 from Scott for his
services. The location of the capital did
not prove to be of great advantage to
Bismarck. The boom lasted only few
weeks, and now the place is duller than
it was before. The only property hold
srs who made money we're those who
sold within month after the location of
the capital. The lesson will doubtless
not be lost upon spectators In that ter

THE IRON TRADE.

The iron trade is discussing with
much concern the probable effect at an
early day of competition with cheap
Southern manufactured pig-iron. 1t is
announced that the other day contract
for 50, 600, 900 worth of that product was
made at Nashville, Tenn, the manufact-
urer STIMULATING to deliver 90 tons daily
for ten or fifteen years to a stove foun-
dry in that city at prices ranging from
$1,000 to $3.50 per ton, free on board.
The party agreeing to deliver is said by
the Louisville Courier-Journal to be
entirely responsible and ahundantly
able to execute any contract he may en-"
ter into. As the present price of Penn
sylvania pig-iron ranges from $40 to $2l
per ton, the Tennessee manufacturer has
decidedly the inside track, and it is not
improbable that he Will be able to keep
it. With the growth of manufactures in
the South comes the demand for pro-
lection to their domestic industries.

ANOTHER BLOODY RIOT.
"A Deadly Combat Between Poles an
Hungarians.

"A Deadly Combat Between Poles and
Hungarians.
PITTsBURG, Pa, April 17.-Between
thirty end forty Hungariaps and Poles
employed at Edgar Thompson's Steel
Works at Braddock, Pa, engaged in
bloody riot this morning about o'clock.
Pistols, knives, clubs and every con-
celvable weapon were brought into serv-
ice and freely used. The fight lasted
about two hours, and when it was finally
quelIed by the citizens, who were COM
PEELED TO organize vigilance committee
to suppress the riot, it was fou1 Ia
three men had sustained SERIOUS H.
slightly hurt. The names of those seri-
ously injured were:
Joseph Miller, Pole, several deep
gashes on his head and face. Will
probably die.
W. M. Smith, a Hungarian, shot in
the back of the head. Will recover.
Albert Woleski, a Pole, badly cut
about the head and face. One eye
chopped out with a Ratchet. Danger
Gus.
The riot was the result of bad blood
between the Poles and Hungarians.
Last night the Poles living at Brugge-
mans Row were celebrating the return
to their country of five of their number,
and during the evening the party par
took freely of liquor, and frequent minor
quarrels occurred. About l o'clock
Miller went out for a drink of water,
when he was attacked by the Hungariang.
His friends came to the rescue, and a
general melee followed. While the bat
tie was in progress the citizens, who be-
came alarmed, organized and marched
on the mob, which they succeeded in
dispensing without bloodshed. Five
rioters were arrested and lodged in jail.
This morning, after hearing, they were
held in $500 bail each. The wounded
men are doing well, and no further
trouble is apprehended.

Race and Color.

1t is now well understood that the
causes of race-color are not so simple as
Hippocrates thought when he de-
scribed the nomad Scythians as burned
tawny by the cold. But the study of
anthropologists is still to notice the
characters which mark off the white,
yellow, brown and black races, and to
connect Herewith the effects of climate
and mode of life. The analogy of fair
or blonde skin to partial albinism is
striking, and possibly points to some
similarity of cause. A book has even
been written by DR.. Poesche to explain
thus the formation of the white race.
The fair whites, according to this au-
thor, are semi-albinos, whose ancestors
were once a browner race in Northern
Asia, but turned fair In the swampy re-
gions of the Dnieper, where men and
beasts grow light in color, horses gray,
the leaves of the trees pale, and all ma
ture dull and colorless. Such imagi-
native speculation Is an example to be
avoided by anthropologists, and yet the
resemblance of blonde to semi-albino
skin is one which when worked out by
careful observation, will doubtless lead
y

resemblance to mulatto complexion is
so marked that in the reports of cases
it is quite regular thing for the ply
stefan to mention that he asked the pa

that well-known negro feature, the COM
paratively light tint of palms and soles,
was there, though there was wanting
one of the points which anthropoIogists
look to when they suspect negro ances-

comparison that this analogy depends.
Anthropologists unfortunately do not
always hear of medical work bearing on
their studies, and it is but lately that
learned from DR.. Wilson Fox that an
interesting microscopic section of
'bronzed skin" was published years ago
by Mr.. Hutchinson in the Pathological
Transactions. All who compare this
with Kolliker's section of normal negro
skin must admit the extraordinary SIM
larity of celebration, in the manner in
which the deep brown pigment cells

here theory that black men are white
men thus transformed, for, indeed, one
incident of the obscure disease in ques-
ton is that the patient always dies.
The Importance of the comparison lies
in its bridging over the physiological
differences of race by showing that
morbid action may bring about in one
race results more or less analogous to
the normal type in another.-E. B.
