Edwin Percy Whipple was 81 years old
on Monday, on which day the Boston
Herald devoted to him an article over two
columns long which closes thus; MIR.
Whipple has written numerous articles
for magazines and reviews, which have
not been collected into volumes. Among
his more recent works his essays upon
George Eliot are in his best vein of ana
lytical and interpretive criticism. His
style has mellowed with his maturing
years, it is more reposeful than in his
days of youthful intensity of feeling
while retaining its vigorous individuality.
Mr.. Whipple is welcome contributor to
the higher periodical literature; some of
his best essays have appeared in the
Atlantic Monthly, and the North american
ReUieD, and the new magazine, the Forum,
is to be enriched by his pen.
He represents the best period Of
American authorship; he was the
candid critic ns we'll MS the attached friend
of Hawthorne, Summer and Longfellow

In conversation, Mr.. Whipple is bott

stores of knowledge being always at com

A Paris Dispatch TO the Daily Meas,
February 18th, said: We often hear of
''seances de boxe" at gymnastic establish
ments in Paris. The pugilists on such
occasions merely spar with gloves, and
the Judges would, with the assent of the
public, return verdict of clumsiness
against them if they hit hard when they
warmed to the work. A game of skill is
merely what is wanted. To-day there
was a real boxing match at Acheres, in
the Forest of Saint German, which hor-
rified the representatives of the Paris
press who were invited to attend it. The
combatants were Smith and Greenfield,
who, fearing police interference if they
fought in England, came over here with
a party of about $50 amateurs of the no.
BILE art of self-defence. They were told
by member of the horsy population at
Maisons LATTE that there was a clearing
in the forest at Acheres, which was an
ideal spot for prize ring fight. Twenty
mail coaches took the chief members of
the party out there in the forenoon. The
others went by rail. Smith and Green
field fought for 40 minutes. There were
% rounds before the bottle holder of
Greenfield threw up the sponge. Green
field was fearfully punished, and at the
end seemed quite exhausted. While he
was being attended to Smith was obstrep-
erously cheered by his hackers. The
fight was for f500. A forester who was
looking on tainted when he saw how Green
field was being punished. The betting
was heavy. About ESQ, 900 is said to have
changed hands. l believe this Paris press
will call upon the Minister of the Interior
to prevent this peculiar kind of sport
from being acclimatized in France.

The great, generous heart of the ochlo-
cratic editor of the Sun is panied when
ever he falls to thinking of the wrongs of
the workingmen. He broods over their
miseries as he walks about his SO 900
mushroom cellar on his private, personal
island in the Sound. He meditates plans
for the amelioration of their condition as
he deadheads it over the country in Mr..
Jay Gould's sumptuous private railroad
palaces. And he looks forward hope
fully to the time when by dint of dema-
gogic appealthe car drivers and mechanics
and laborers will be induced to come for
ward with their daily two cents and restore
the decayed and desperate Sun to pros
perity and dividends The Tribune, also,
whose editor has never been anything
more than the hired body-servant Of
thimble-rigging spectators and monopo
lists, seizes the occasion of the recent
strike of car drivers to declare itself {

Club dinner.
sent reporters to four houses in Boston
short time ago to ask how much money
they had sold on Ireland during the
month of December, and from the list of
December to the Goth those four houses
had sold over 500, 900, in sums averaging
1856. Now, in three weeks, four houses
in one city sold that much, and l can
assure you that there is not city in the
United States, not town or hamlet,
whence that drain is not constantly going
away to Ireland. It is going from the
mills, from the mines, from the farms,
from the shops, from the servant girls.
The only advantage from that terrible
loss-a loss which must reach from
$50, 900, 900 to $40, 1000, 900 year, which
is the lowest computation you can put on
1.-THE only value we have in return is in
the devoted and affectionate natures that
could spare from their earnings so much
to their poor relatives in Ireland-for
they sent it to save their people from

happy and comfortable, but to pay the
rents to the English aristocrats, for whom
England has legislated. The landlords

the fourth, decrepit old wreck with o
