The Associated press, few days
ago, devoted about half column OF
space in its reports to the details OF
Prize fight which took place IN
Madison Square, New York, last
Monday. All the elegant terms OF
the ur.ze-ring were flashed across the
continent by the aid of Joves thun-
derbolts, 20 the no small delight OF
those who look TO such papers as
the P,ljcr Gu-cHr for their mental
pabulum. They were doubtless
pleased, if nobody else, 10 have the
lightning ne ssenger assure them
that "both men quickly came to the

imagined when the glorious news
was flashed DER hill and dale that
although both men were consider
ably blown" they event at it game
ly,' and not until McCaffrey's "work
became the most telling" and he
"le; fly his right, catching Mitchell
on the breast" that Mccartney was
declared winner. 1t is doubtful
whether city that allows such de-
moralizing spectacles, the associa-
ton which reports them, or the
newspaper which publishes such bal
derdash, is most to he condemned.
The whole transaction is disgrace
to the people and the age.

error to suppose that the payment
of road tax, or any other tax what
ever, is necessary to qualify either

trary is misleading and not made

The Duty Of the Hour.
Reasons why Women should Vote at
the Coming Election.
1t is your dt,iu to vote.

l. 1t is your duty to vote.
The welfare of your homes, your
own welfare, and the welfare of your
children, depends upon proper ex-
ercise of the elective franchise.
,. The number of votes cast ut
the coming election will have an i'm
portant Influence On the question of
our admission into the Union as a
State. Hence, every qualified cleo
tor in the Territory should cast u
ballot.
On admission as State, we be.
come entitled to 500, 600 acres of
land for school purposes. This Of
itself should induce every woman
to so to tue polls.
3. Tie question of exempting
Church property from taxation is to
be determined by the number of
votes cast for and against it. Have
women 10 interest in that question ?
1. Laws are to be enacted, aud

How the Scheme for the BarthOldl
Statue Originated.

1t is not generally known how the
schme for colossal Statue of Liberty
originated. 1t was about fifteen years
ago when NJ. Bartholdi came to this
country for the first time, bringing let
ters with him from Edouard Laboul-
aye and other good friends of union be-
tween France and America. One of
the persons to whom M. Bartholdi went
upon his arrival here was Miss Booth,
well known as translator of books by
Laboulaye, as one of the first historians
of our city, and as the editoI of Harp
er'S BGz0r. M. Bartholdi presented to
Miss Booth his colossal statue, which
might stand permanently as mark of
French brotherhood with the United
States. He said, moreover that, as he
was sailing up the bay, he observed
Bedloe's Island, which seemed to him
the right place for such a statue. Mr..
Bartholdi's scheme came, of
course, to the knowledge of many per-
sons-was discussed Industrious
", and the upshoJ was that
the sculptor returned to his
country with certain definite inten-
tfons. At that time Bartholdi had
etl4 GACCI1CHJ 4Clfut6biO4 SCdlpbol
and architect He had done some brill
liant work, and he was regarded as an
artist of singular promise. He had also
accomplished more labor on very large
and even colossal scale. nj. Bartholdi's
plans for liberty statue were COM
pleted during the Emperorship of Ma
poleon LII. Then came the war with
Prussia, which put stop to his under
taking. 1t was after the war;. when the
French Republic was firmly established,
that the sculptor took up his scheme
again and gave publicity to it. He
asked the French people to subscribe
for the statue. The French people sub
scribed readily, one might almost say
sou by sou. Then M. Bartholdi turned
his sight to our own country, and asked
us to subscribe for a pedestal, onWhich
the statue could be placed That was
several years ago. We have not yet
subscribed the amount which is needed
for the pedestal. Cor. Pittsburgh Iele-

Lost His Girl.

fare you ever called upon by persons
whom you have sent to prison after the
expiration of their sentences?o asked a
reporter yesterday Of Recorder Swift,
who was found in the Office of the clerk
of his court.
Occasionally ] am; but / seldom re-
member their faces. When they intro
duce themselves to me they generally
recall my having sentenced them, and
what is singular about it, they are glad
to see me. They generally say that
they have reformed, which, of course, L
am glad to hear and to note that their
punishment has had beneficial effect,
which is the aim and desire of the law.
The other day convict called on me
and introduced himself, but did not
remember having met him before, but
when he referred to his case and his
sentence I recollected him. After he
was convicted a young lady called on
me to intercede for him, and made an
earnest plea for a light sentence for
him. She was engaged to marry him,
and agreed that she would be true to-
him if valid let him off easy. People

Who considered 1t . heinous offence.
On this account it was that bets ran

Miss KS friends that the lovely blush
which mantled her cheek was of natrsss
own bestowiug. To end the controversy,
which was becomming exciting, one gal

proposed to ask the beauty for proof
thas would settle the dispute. In an
unfortunate moment, and peShspa
trembling at his own teuerity, be
