OTTAWA, September 4.-Dr. Mckaeh-
ran, Inspector of the Dominion cattle

complete system of quarantine to be en-

1t would have been fought to a finish
but for the conduct of the crowd, which
was evenly divided in the interest of the
contestants and there being a large sum of
money wagered on the result there ap-
peared to be a disposition on the part of
Fitzgeralds friends, toward the close, to
crowd the ring and bring about a foul
on the part of McHugh.
At the conclusion of the thirty-sixth
round the crowd became so demonstrative
and disposed to interfere, that the referee
withdrew, and another had to be chosen,
the men taking rest about twenty minutes
in the meantime. Both men were badly
punished, FITZGERALD having his left ear
cut and swollen and face disfgured. Nc
Hugh had a badly swollen eye and nose
and cuts about the face.
The first round of sparring showed
whatever science they possessed without
getting down to business. The second,
third AMI fourth rounds were of the same
tame nature, but when they walked up
for the fifth, Fitzgerald opened the ball
and commencing business right away
planted q left-hander on McHugh's nose.
Mcdugl returned the compliment with a
terrific undercut which sent Fitzgerald
spinning to the rope. Then followed hard
hitting on both sides until time was called.
Up to this time the fighting was in favor
of the Canadian.
In the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth,
and eleventh rounds the men did
hard work though FITZGERALD got
McHugh's head in chancery several times
and was called off by the referee. From
that round on the fighting was rough and
hard but Fitzgerald in the thirty-ffh.
and th%irty-seventh began to
show evidences Of being able to win the
fight and the crowd, not willing to allow Il
finish, a draw was declared.

Cremation Progress i'm Germany.

The practice of cremation appears to
be gradually gaining ground in Ger

the number of bodies brought for this
purpose to Gotha. which contains the

1882 were eighty-four--viz.: seventeen
in 1879, sixteen in 1880, thirty-three in
1881, and eighteen up to September,

to the business of the institution. while
several bodies have been brought
!hither from America, in which country
the cost of 4 fashionable interment is ST.

expense to have the remains crematcd

expense are: the removal of the corpse

O JIM"

One day lately | was sitting in the no.
tel at Spokane Falls. idly watching the
group of takers as they grew earnest
over the gold of Occur d'Alene or the
lands of the Big Bend country. Sudden
lyI became aware of a diSagreeable
presence. and. turning my eyes as much
As | could without seeming to look up,
| saw a very dirty man, with a rank
growth of reddish beard, battered hat
and heelless boots. He was half dazed
by the bright light of the room. coming
in from the darkness outside, and was
moving back and forth in his endeavOr
to focus his eyes upon some one. No
one seemed to note him as a specially
uncommon sight, but there was an APP
parent unspoken resolve to '.give him
the shake" He felt the combination
against himself, but was too drunk to
back out, and presently fixed his stare
upon two well-dressed men. shook his
dirty finger at them. and said: There's
lots of it there! Brains!-brains! but
no education nor money to back them
up-nOthing to back them up" and he
slapped his own empty pocket 10 IN
phasize his estimate of the men he
pointed at. This would have been EN-
barrassing anywhere but in a Western
town. Nobody paid the slightest atten-
ton to him, and he gradually worked
up within himself something like cha
grin. "All right! all right" said he. in
an injured tone, Il was once the asso-
ciate OF gentlemen. I'm a member of
the Idaho Legislature. and you needn't
be afraid of me. Pm well educated

And with this half sad. half drunken
adieu he went out into the night.
Of course it was his own fault. 1t was
no wonder no one would be bored by
talking with him. / try to be kind
hearted in such matters, and l wouldn't
be bored by him; but somehow it struck
me that such treatment is what helps to
make robbers and rutfians. 1t is easy
to understand that such a fellow would
grind his teeth and resolve himself into
An avenging minority. He could not
