Tho Art OF Boxing.

Prize fighting is dead, but that Is no reason
why boxing should decline among amateurs
There ts no manler exercise, none which is
better for the development Of the muscles,
and none which does more to teach man to
keep his temper. Hard enough it is for play
ers to keep their temper always at chess, or
tennis, or golf, especially golf, but it IL
harder and even more necessary in boxing
blow with the gloves on the nose can be
bear this amount of pain with constant
heart and without making wry faces The
exercise is excellent for wind and limb, and
was much practiced by the Greeks, whose
gloves, however, increased and did not deaden
the force of blow.
In this pastime we believe that the En,s
h-speaking races alone live up to what Mr..
Hannibal Chollop might have called the an.
cient Spartan ticket, and probably our young
Hellenic champion, even "the artist athlete
Milo" discovered of late Ivy an American
novelist. To be able to box, too. may be Of

his wife, or two or three roughs are kicking a
man, he who can box and knows it, will not
pass by on the other side of the way like the
Levite. But we can have boxing without
prize fighting just as we have fencing without
the duel. and this is blessing for the prize

An Art Critic Sat Down Upon.

(londOn Cor. New York Times
One of the most notable Of the paintings to
be exhibited was included in the collection
1t the Hogarth club, this being a master
piece by Mr.. Alma Tadema, of course on ono
Of bis favorite classical subjects. An anus
ing little incident happened during the even
ing in connection with this picture. One OF
the many dilettante gentlemen who pose as
art critics, without knowing much about art,
was greatly struck by this painting "That's
fine picture," he observed to young artist
standing near him. ~ am very glad you
like it," observed the artist with an air Of
great modesty "Why, you don't mean to
Iay it is yoursl" exclaimed the critic. "Is
it soldp II have not sold it YET" was the
perfectly truthful reply. "Well what
would you let me have it for" "What do
you say to G5" said the young painter.

including the frame" The frame, by the
way, was very costly and elaborate one.
well, no; the frame will be another SOW
sreign" The connoisseur at once put his
hand in his pocket. "No," said the artist,
Ayou must go to the secretary. He arranges
for all purchases" So the eager art patron
went to the secretary. II want" said he,
TO buy that picture ever the mantel-piece--

Not for the Rituals OF Civilization.

loWlnUOu6 8 TaPeTl
The religion of the ancient Egyptians had
some features not be found in several of the
religions Of these times. Here, for example,
is passage from prayer to be found in the
ritual for the dead:
1Iknow you, Lord Of truth and justice;
have brought you truth, have committed
no fraud against men, have not tormented
the widow, have not lied in the tribunal, l
have not done any prohibited thing, have
not commanded my workman to do more
than be could do have not made fraudu-
lent gains, have not altered the grain meas
ure, or falsifiod the equilibrium Of the bal
ance, have not made Others weep, l am
pure"
Another man thus cries:
VI have given bread to him who was hun
cry, water to the thirsty, garments to the
naked, and home to the forsaken one."
Still another cries:
81 have protected the poor against the pow
erful, have given hospitality to every one,
have been benevolent and devout, l have
cherished my friends, and my hand has been
open to him who had nothing. Ihave loved
truth and hated lie."

Irving and Booth.

Inter Ocean "Curbstone Crayons.
"There was story told me the night OF
the Storrs banquet to Irving" said an old
theatre-goer, THAT convinced me that
Irving is good diplomatist as we'll as a
finished actor. When Edwin Booth first
went 70 London, neither Irving nor any
other English actor gave him much atten-
ton. But one day gentleman Of promi-
nence remarked in Irving's presence that
Booth was such favorite In America that
lie people would be likely to renlomber any
attempt to snub him. About tho same time
another gentleman Of prominence made
Irving see the advantage of an American
tour, and as soon as this idea took possession
of Irving's mind he began to manifest his
cordiality toward Booth and his appreciation
Of his talents And when he was once
started he did the thing most handsomely"

IN. Y. Sun Interview with Moses s. Beach.
"Mr. Greeley remember very we'll, OF
course, hut never think Of him without the
picture coming to my mind of seeing him
carrying his son across the street In muddy
weather. He idolized this boy, and could
never realize that he had outgrown his in
fancy He could not bear to have him OK.
posed in any way. and although the boy,
when used to see him with his father, was
II or 13 years old and very large for his age
nearly If not quite as large as his father-if
the street was ut all muddy old Greeley would
take him up In his arms and carry him across;
and can see him now, the boys long legs
reaching nearly to the ground, forming the
most comic picture imaginable
"Greeley always wrote standing at his desk,
and his manuscript was 80 abominable that
but few people could deoipher 1t. l wrote to
him once to ask what he thought Of our
chance in q pending city election, when
Fernando Wood wns running for mayor, and
his reply was, Il can see nothing ahead but
Waterloo defeat. That was all Of his reply,
but it took me nearly an hour to read It.
know In connection with this that opened
out red hot on Fernando the next day, aud
he had me arrested and taken before TIE
police Justice, who tried to settle the matter
and get mo to promise All apology, but said
didn't come for that; / came to give ball,
and kept up the fight against Mr.. Wood.
"Mr. Greeley and were passengers to-
gether In the steamer Baltic with Capt Com

st uck to it with great deal Of perseverance.
He had a terrible time of it, however, aud there
was but little Of Greeley left when he was
finally persuaded to go to part of the vessel
where there was less motion. We published
a daily paper on that voyage. Besides Gree
ley there were Judge James 7. Brady Judge
Ashbel Smith, OF Texas, Judge Charles 7.
Daily and a half dozen other noted men among
the passengers, and we had most enjoyable
time"
For one thing, know there was an indict-
mont found against Capt. Comstock for COLI
spring to have an easterly wind, and Greeley
distinguished himself rs an advocate for the
prosecution In the mock trial that followed.
| was one Of the witnesses and had to appear
in character as Brother Jonathan, and
borrowed Mr.. Greeley's historic white coat as
part of my makeup. He sent me to his
stated room for it, and found in the pockets
from two to three hundred business cards. 1t
had been his custom for years, l suppose,
whenever any one sent or gave him card,
to put it in his pocket, and when emptied
them out on the table remember they made
tremendous pile. His pockets were large,
and don't suppose that he ever realized that
he had these cards in them.

"That is very delicate part OF the process
Here is one that has just been filed. This
pear-shaped bulb is blown, as you see, on the

into the vessel containing the mercury. Then,
as the hea. causes al expansion Of the mer

Advice to Poets.

The trouble with most poets is, that they
send their immature efforts to the papers,
and become discouraged because nobody
cares for them but the junk dealer. The sue
cessful poet, ON the contrary. keeps all his
rubbish until he has written something worth
reading; then all he has to do is to get out the
rhymings of his callow days and sell them at
fabulous prices.

when Mills seminary girls, of for holi-

ex-oficio nasher. That was the time when
the waters at Marchand's and the Maison
Dorec la:l tho bases of fortunes, and the
drivers of hacks knew the bloods Of the town
intimately, and held ia their discreet posses
sion the reputation Of ladies Of high position.
One must always reflect with a certain
amount Of admiration upon the lavish gener-
osity that provided poor females with silks
and satins and sealskins and stood wine sup
pcrs to the homeless and unfortunate The
good-looking woman never appealed to them
unanswered, and indeed the appeal came
quito frequently from the male side. Twenty
interchangeable dinners, $40 a carriage

and tho wanderers Of the night. There are
no more big brokers. Que by ono they have
dropped away, and tho humble shipper wi

Till recently no one would have dreamed
Of applying photography to acoustics; but it
Is now possible to photograph sound, or,
speaking more correctly, sound vibrations;
and Prof Boltzman is now announced as the
discoyerer of what at first might woll be re-
garded with incredulity. The sound vibra-
tions are communicated to thin platinum
plato, and the movements of the plate, after
being magnitied by a solar microscope, are
reflected on to a screen, and photographed by
rapidly drawing sensitive plate across the
image Every letter when pronounced gives
separate and distinct impression, the
vuwels showing regular undulatory vibra-
tions, while the consonants give curves and
lines OF very varied forms.
The uses Of an arrangement like this may
he nnumerable. We can almost imagine
that when the process is perfected, caves
droppers and spies will have very easy
time, and need to run no risks in order to
obtain secret information; small instru-
ment secretly placed in room, and acting
automatically, may copy down every word
spoken; nay. it is far more chimerical to than
expect that photography may one day take
the place Of shorthand reporters.
