A oNE-HAYDED FIGHT.

Sullivan may be said to have fought
thirty-four rounds with his left hand, for
in the fifth round, when he again swung
round his right, he caught his opponents
elbow joint on the inside of his arm,
spraining a sinew and utterly disabling the
limb, which was soon very much swollen
and extra painful. 1t is only fair to add
that Mitchell's left hand also gave way in
the early part Of the fight. Consequently
both men were laboring under serious dis
advantages.

WANDERING.
The Illness OF Mr.. w. w. Corcoran has taken a
serious turn, and his friends feel very anxious
about him. He took heavy cold five or six weeks
ago. which he has not been able to throw of. His
ply slcian, DIR. A Y. P. Garnett says that it is a
form OF senle bronchitis which frequently attacks
persons OF advanced age. The serious phase OF
this disease is the relaxation OF the muscles in
the membrane OF the throat, which has
the effect of filling the bronchial tubes
with secretions. In cases OF persons OF advanced
age they are unable to throw this phlegm of, and,
as in the case Of very young children with Group,
death is liable to ensus from suffocaton. This is
danger which threatens MI. Corcoran. owing to
his great age and his general debility he has not the
strength to resist He is able at times to clear his
throat; but should he grow weaker this would no
longer be possible. Yesterday he took no nour-
ishment. To-day he took O little milk punch and
that is given him. He takes occasionally little
champagne He sleeps most OF the time; but

knew her ana greeted her pleasantly. He then
said tnat ne wanted to talk with her ABOUT certain
matters. Then, after pause, he began TO talk on
an entirely different subject. Yesterday his mind
wandered little, and he imagined that he was
dead. lie Said to one OF his friends with whom he
was conversing. "Why here am 1 talking about my
own funeral" These periods OF mental wonder
Ing are rare, and he has Intelligent idea OF his
condition and OF what Is going on about him. He
surprises his friends and attendants by the exhibi.
tion OF his strong vital powers and while there is
no confident hope that he will be able to overcome
the growing weakness, yet his strength and will
power is Oy no means exhausted.
