Gen. Logan as a Pugilist,

From the Hartford Times
Senator Cullom is putting in all his spare
time during the hot months in takin z lesson
from retired pugilist Every day he goes to
the private rooms Of his tutor and takes as
hour at the manly art of self defense His tutur
is Professor Collins, who gave lessons to Mr.
Logan Collins always refers to Mr. Logan
with great deal Of pride, and asserts that he
was the best pupil he ever had A good story
which has never leaked out until now, is told
about the success which attended the efforts of
the old warrior in the pugilistic ring. Logan
had been in training about six months and had
become quite proud of his ability His tutor
was pretty lively with his fists; but neverthe-
less the general was certain the professor
could not knock him out He had
talked a number Of times with Gov Oglesby
about it, and had often urged the latter to come
down and see the fun. Finally he went with
Logan 70 see the brutal work" as he called it.
When Logan came out stripped for the bout
and stood up in front of Prof. Collins, gOlesby
cautioned him to be careful or he would get
hurt This put the former on his mettle, and
he went for his antagonist so viciously that in
less than ten minutes he planted one under the
ex -pugilist's chin, laying that gentleman in a
far corner all of heap Ogiesby was surprised
and Collins was simply dumbfounded. He got
up, walked slowly over to the general and
said-.'Mr. Logan, it's the greatest pity in the
world you are not a fighter for you would be a
daisy sure Ever since then Ogesby has re-
garded Logan as the greatest fighter that ever
lived. Logan cautioned him to keep the story
to himself, and oglesby kent his request. Col

The Quest.

From ST. Nicholas for august
There once was q restless boy
Who dwelt in home by the sea,
Where the waters danced for Joy
And the wind was glad and free;
But he said Good mother, oh let me go:
For the dullest place in the world, I-know,
Is this little brown house,
This old brown house,
Under the apple tree.
81 will travel east and west;
The lovelieSt homes I'll see;
And when have found the best,
Dear mother, I'll come for thoe.
I'll come for thee in a year and a day,
And Joyfully then well haste away
From this little brown house,
This old brown house,
Under the apple tree"
So he travelled here and there,
But never content was he,
Though he saw in lands most fair
The costliest homes there be-
He something missed from the sea or sky,
Till he turned again, with wistful sigh
To the little brown house,
The old brown house,
- Under the apple tree.
Then the mother saw and smiled,
While her heart grew glad and free
Hast thou chosen home. my child?
All, where shall we dwell?'' quoth she.
And he said Sweet mother, from east to west
The loveiest home, and the dearest and best,
Is a little brown house
An old brown house,
Under an apple tree"

Gen. Fisk's Acceptance.

The letter of acceptance of Gen. Clinton
B. Fisk, the prohibition candidate for Presi-
dent is not remarkable document in any
respect. and contains nothing hat will give
strength or enthusiasm TO the prohibition
campaign. Gen Fisk says that he became
convinced four years ago of the necessity
for new party, because neither Of the old
parties would take a firm stand against the
liquor traffic, and he points out that neither
the democrats nor the republicans in their
platforms have anything to say against the
saloon.
Having shown why, IN his opinion, new
party is a necessity, Gen. Fl quotes from
the Chicago platform that the first con-
Germ of good government is the virtue and
sobriety of the people and the purity of the
home" and he concludes that II this state
ment be true, it is the duty of the govern
ment to give more attention to getting rid
Of the saloon than TO the raising of taxes or
the making of laws.
The saloon, says Gen. Fisk, is the crea-
ture of the law, and it must be got rid of
that II all the saloons were closed there
Woutu DO no WHISKY anu DoeT HudnuIdCb-
ured and consumed but would such be the
case3 In the states in which there are gen
eral prohibitory laws there is more whisky
consumed, it is alleged, than where saloons
are licensed. The reason is that the ma
jority of the people have not been converted
to temperance, and the prohibitory laws
cannot be enforced.
Gen. Fisk admits that general prohibitory
laws are a failure. He says that in Iowa,
Rhode Island and Maine the "prohbitory
laws have been defied." And why have
they been defieds Not. as Gen. Fisk says
Through partisan necessity born of the
liquor elements in the old partisan compo-
sition," but because public sentiment has
not yet been educated up to a point where
1t Will insist upon the enforcement OF pro
hibitory laws.
Gen. Fisk has apparently very little con-
fidencs in local option, and yet the local
option methodh has done more for the temper
ance cause than general prohibitory laws. BY
means of local option public sentiment is
created in favor of the suppression of the
liquor traffic, and the prohioitory laws
which follow are easily and effectually en-
forced. Gen. Pisk may make a stronger
presentation Of the prohibition cause when
the campaign is further advanced. He
certainly ought not to rest satisfied with his
letter of acceptance.

The usual complete and comprehensive expo

the Annual Trade Review will be issued from the
Office of the MORNING NEWS, on Thursday, Sept,

the features of the opening of the busy season

means of calling the attention OF the public to
Sayannah's business and her prospects for the

The annual review will give not only the sta
tisticts of cotton naval stores, rice, lumber and
other products, and the data concerning the
wholesale business of the city, and its manu-
features and other industries, but it will con-
tain an interesting account Of what has been
done in the city during the past year, and tell
what its enterprising citizens have in hand for
the next The closing year has been a very
prosperous one, but that upon which we are
entering promises to be even more prosperous.
matter that is of the greatest Importance,
and one that deserves especial notice, is that
Savannah is no longer a place that strangers
fear to visit in the summer In fact, with our
accessible seaside resorts the city has become a
sanitarum for people who come to enjoy the
sea breezes
And the coming year; what Of it2 Is it not
"f1lled to the brim" with the highest anticipa-
tionsY There is to be magnificent hotel, the
finest in the south, new county court house
and a new public building. There are to be
more railroads. more homes and more public
improvements.
No year In the history of Savannah has been
brighter than that which has Just closed The
city's growth in population and wealth, the
public improvements which have been and are
still being made. the erection of immense bust
ness houses, the Inauguration of new industries
the extensions made by the two great railroads
which transport the products of Georgia and
adjoining states to our wharves, all prove that
