Didn't Know Himself.

A man ought to know his own face,
but sometimes he doesn't, as the
following from, the Boston Herald
proves: Speaking about striking re-
semblances," remarked an old and
honored resident Of South Abingdon,
II know OF an instance which shows
that q man cannot always tell his
own face when he sees it in a glass,
and l can personally vouch for it's
reliability. A friendof m ne residing in
Brockton many years ago had two
sons who resembled each other so
closely that even their parents were
unable to distinguish them, except by
their clothing. Upon arriving at the
stage of manhood the resemblance
seemed to increase, and even l, who
was intimately acquainted with them,
could not tell lone from the other. The
two were shaving before glass one
day, and one shaved his face clean,
while the other had just finished lath-
ering his. The brother whose face
was cleanly shaved looked over the
other shoulder, and the owner of the
lathered countenance supposed it was
his, and put up his hand TO the rough
places upon which to give the finish
ing touch, and it was only when he got
his hand covered with lather that he
discovered the difference. This is q
fact, and lean prove it. !" \

could give many instances but will
contine myself to one, in which Mr. H.
=: Buermeyer, Of our club, who is
officiating here as referee, was a con-
testant against George Lee, OF the
Union Club OF Boston. Lee was
knocked out of time by a blow on the
lugular vein, and his neck would have
been broken had Buermeyer not worn
gloves"
elias the general use of gloves been
beneficial or otherwise as far AS physi-
cal development is concerned?"
sit has been beneficial in more ways
than one, by making the exercise more
general and by doing away with it's
Brutal features Professionals who
box for money and do q great deal OF
loud talking to make people think
they are superior beings, are fast reap
ing the contempt they deserve. The
great mass OF them are frauds on the
public, and the general introduction
OF glove bouts as gentlen1anly exer-
else will send the professionals into
obscurity: The so-called prize fights
in recent days have been nothing more
OF less than exhibitions to make
money, and the number OF fools who
have faith in these self-styled fighters
is daily growing less. The last fatal
prize fight that / remember in this
country was between Charles Dram,
of San francisco, and George Emer~
son, OF Boston. It was fought in
California in August, 1881, and Dram
was killed in the ring in the eighth
round. In August, 1876, Weeden
and Walker fought seventy-six rounds,
in a wood near Pennsville, N. j.
Walker was taken away dead from
the ring and Weeden served six years
for the crime in the Trenton prison.
In England there have been dozens of
fatal cases, the last of which took
place in October, 1881 in which James
Carney killed James Highland. Car
ney was indicted for man slaug hter and
escaped with a six months sentence.
In former years in England prize fight
ers who killed their men in the ring
usually escaped scot free. No gloves
were used in any of the fatal cases
mentioned, and the fact that low
ruttians have come to fear and respect
the law and do not attempt regular
fights with the naked fists is another
proof that our civilization is rapidly
becoming more perfect. Brutality
and brute force must go to the rear,
and science, as gentlemen understand
the term, will be welcomed at tine
'front.'"

Senator Bright's Duelling Story.

Ben: Perley Poore in the Sunny South.
Senator Bright OF Indiana, used to
tep 81 good story about q challenge be
received from Joseph G. Marshall,
political rival The parties went to,
louisville to fight, but the difficulty
was there settled by Gen. William o.
Butler. Pending q settlement OF the
affair, the police put in an appearance
for the purpose Of arresting the COM
batants.
"1'm looking for Mr.. Marshall sure,'
said the Irish captain, as he entered
Mr.. Marshall's room at the hotel, and
believe the mon is before me-"
Mr.. Marshall OWNED at once the
purpose OF this visit, and assuming al
air of Indifference, coolly inquired:
"What one of the Marshalls do you
desire to see? There are two. of US
here"
'"The one who is to fight the jewel,
sure" replied the policeman.
"Ah! understand. You should see
my brother. He is in the room at the
other end OF the hall"
"But is he the Mister Marshallthat's
q lawyer" inquired the sceptical cap
tain.
"He will probably tell you that he's
minister. Butt don't let him fool
you. Lawyers, you know, can quote
texts as we'll as preachers"
The policeman politely thanked him
for his assistance, bowed himself out
OF the room and passed on to the
room OF the Rev Samuel Marshall, All
elder brother and prominent divine
of Kentucky. In vain did the MINIS
ter expostulate.
"Your texts don't apply" said the
plucky Irishman. you're me mon,
sure now! You're no more OF q preach
er than am myself" and the fellow
was hurrylng him down the stairway
when they met a mutual friend, who
explained to the policeman: that he
was badly "sold." Meanwhile Joseph
Marshall had moved to parts un-
known, and thus avoided the hunili-
alton ofgoi1lg to the Mayors court.

Why Broker is Called s'Plucky
A Charley.''
New York Letter.

1t is more than twenty years ago
that Charles Henrotin, the stock
broker, under the sobriquet of "Plucky
Charley" figured in the headlines of
the newspapers all over the world, was
blazoned on the bulle tin boards, and
was on everybody's tongue. It isn't
easy for those who now look on Hen
rotin's rotund figure and elegant
clothes to believe that in 1868 he WAS
the hero of all the small boys who
could read the newspapers, the ad-
miration Of the elderl Y and the craze
OF the young women. Henrotin in the
COS Was assistant cashier OF the
Merchants Loan and Trust com pany.
Lyman j. Gage. OF the First national,
WAS then the cashier. The latter hap
pened to be out at the dinner hour
one day in that year when a we'll.
dressed man came in and presented Il
check for $500 at the window. The
paper was handed Henrotin, who
scrutinized it and saw nothing out OF
the way. But he noticed, as he looked
at the man who presented it,
that the perspiration stood in beads on
his face and forehead, and that he
mopped himself continuously with his
handkerchief. If the day had been q
summer one his actions would not
have been noticeable; but it was cool
day in spring. It was a very little cir
cumstance, but Henrotin thought that
the fellow was under too much excite
ment, and so said quietly that the
check looked all right, but that he
would 60 with him to the writer. There
was some little protesting, but the
pair started. They had not gone far
before the fellow began to glance un-
easily down the alleys as they passed
them. That only added to Henrotin's
suspicious. Finally the fellow turned
abruptly and said: :This isinsulting.
I'll 60 back to the bank and wait for
YOU" But Henrotin had made up his
mind to stick, and they both turned
together again. Then there was a
blow, and Henrotin was taken off his
feet; but hegrabbed for the man S neck.
Somehow or other he caught his man
right by the cheek-by the gills, as
fishes are caught. He kept that hold,
although the forger thrashed him
around as if he was a bundle
of straw. Henrotin could never
tell how he hung on, or why in
the world the man did not bite his
thumb off. 1t was six weeks after that
his trial came off, but his cheek still
bore the mark OF the assistant GOSH
ier's thumb. The prisoner turned out
to be Cal Lee. On his person was
found 5000 in currency, and within
three minutes after Henrotin had
landed him the cashier of the Union
National rushed in excitedly, crying:
'"That's the man! That's the man.!
He had done that bank out of So; 900
currency the same day. That he did
not have it all on his person showed
that he hadconfederates. Henrotin' S
capture was the most important one
ever made by q cashier. Lee after
ward squealed, and that led to the
capture Of Buchanan Cross, the great
est bank forger in the history OF this
sort OF crime That very year they
had gotten 500, 900 of Browns Bros
money by cleverly laying on the part
ner's desk a letter advising of draft
to be presented, and then presenting
the draft.
