stopped fifteen miles firm town. A
riug was quickly pitched and the fight
began at 3 o'clock. The first two rounds
were very tame. In the third Godfrey
caught Johnson a highlander on the right
side of the neck knocking him almost
senseless. Johnson, however, recovered
and regained his feet only to be numerically
rounded and knocked around the ring by
Godfrey without being able to make any
kin Of fight in selfdefense. In the fourth
and last round Johnson again got the worst
Of the fight. being so dazed as to be unable
to hit Godfrey. About the middle OF the
round the men clinched, the r, fierce calling
to them to break away, to which Godfrey
paid no attention but continued to pound
johnson until the men rushed in and sepa-
rated them. The referee declared the fight
at an end on this foul and gave the money

man.

BRIGHT TO THE LIBERALS.

John Bright, writing on "Gladstonian

says: 1.-THE followers Of Gladstone have
adopted a policy opposed to genuine Lib
eral principles. They have swallowed a
dose, which up to two years ago they con-
dtmned and abhorred. At the invitation
of the eminent statesman they tried to
break up Parliament, but only succeeded in
breaking up their own party. Liberals
must bear evils thus thrust upon them.
What is good in the country will survive

Mr.. Hale, who has charge OF the bill.
again defined the attitude taken by the
Senate Committee on Appropriations with

Items which were obviously correct and
proper. Ii such items were added by the
