Prize FigM at CentYdHQ.

On last Wednesday evening two
colored women fought a prize fight
in the alley IN the rear of this office,
in the most approved Sullivan-kil-
rain style. The fight was not for
belt or stakes, but to settle dis
pute as to which was entitled to the
affections of big buck negro. For
convenience we shall call them Slab
footed Sue and Black Crook:
Round first-They got to the
scratch with both feet, shook their
fists and howled. There was some
scientific boxing done with a cheese
box, and Crook went to grass with
Sukey's head IN her stomach. First
knock down for Sukey.
Round second-Black Crook came
up little groggy, but got in a nail
keg on Sukey's mug, which made
the bleed come. First blood for
Crook.
Round three-Sukey makes one OF
her famous rushes and landed 8
brickbat on Crooks ear, which stood
her on her head.
Round four-Both fought a little
shy, but Sukey cut frying-pan over
Crooks optic with her left foot. A
foul was claimed but the referee hac
been knocked off the fence with
stray brickbat, and couldn't make
decision.
Round ive-Sukey got snagged il
Crooks hustle and Crook chawet
Sukey's left ear. Roth went to gras
with Sukey in the ditch.
Round six-The referee caugh
another brick IN the stomach. Croo
. got her work in with nail keg, an
Sukey got her left toe in Crook
short ribs.
Round seven-There was a gref
, deal of slugging and wool snatchln
!. in this round and Sukey spit out
mouthful of teeth. About this tim
the referee got in the way of anotht
brickbat, and Crook was knocke
> out with saw buck. Both pugalis'
were badly demoralized, but thel
: is still blood on the moon and anotI
u er scrap may be looked for.-Centr'

Some Facts About Tea.

Tea came into use almost by accl-
dent. Some Buddhist priests, going
on a missionary expedition from
Northern India to China, took with
them the dried leaves and also some
cuttings of an indigenous shrub,
which was said to have the power Of
correcting any injurious properties
in the brackish waters they might
meet with on the way. The decoc-
ton thus made pleased the mission
aries so well that they continued as
a matter of taste to drink it after
they reached China, and introduced
it to their converts. They also sci
about planting the precious shrub
and although 1t did not thrive Sc
well IN China as in its native Assam
becoming smaller both In stem anc
leaf, it was so we'll liked that it sooI
formed the favorite beverage Of al
China. Thence it was brought Il
Europe to be drunk and desired b.
Englishmen of every degree, and
is only of late years that Assam te
; has come into European markets, t
, be looked upon rather susplclonsi
as the rival of its own degenerate
i, daughter london Standard.

years old, a son of Amanda Briscoe,
