INDIAN PRIzg.ElenTERs.
How snillvaB's Art Is Represented In q
Land OF the Moguf


Land OF the MoguI.
The professional Indian boxers are
known as ietties, a name derived from
the peculiar continuance worn by them
upon the right hand. This consists OF
a kind OF cestus made of buffalo
horn, with four sharp knobs upon
it resembling exaggerated knuckles.
Near tho little finger is a fifth projec-
tiou of greater prominence and keen
ness than the others 1t is worn on
the right hand between the lower
joints and the main knuckles, the fin
gers being passed through narrow
opening below the raised points, OF
sufficient size to receive them when
the fist is doubled.
If it we're placed directly over the
kuuekles it is very evident that a blow
directed with the full force Of an ath-
letic arm would, in all probability,
crush the skull of the unfortunate at
whom it was aimed. Placed in the
manner described the wearer is
obliged to be very chary in the
blow, as the conclusion would be very
likely to cause dislocation OF the hand
Instead therefore, OF hitting in the
usual style in vogue among English
and American pugilists, the blows are
delivered perpendicularly, and as the
knots are sure to make a deep cut and
lay the flesh open to the bone, there is
never any question as to who is enti-
tied to the claim of first blood.
In few minutes two of these men
stepped into the arena They were
magnificent specimens of manhood.
neither very stout nor very muscular,
but well-knit splendidly proportioned
frames. Added to this was natural
grace and gentlemanly department
Bowling low to the Rajah. they took
their places in the center OF the ring
and put themselves in position for the
combat, Approaching each other.
they held up and crossed their left
arm; then, quickly stepping back, they
made various motions with their
hands, or. as we would express it,
SPARED for an opening. They
shifted their positions with great
activity. watching like hawks for
an opportunity to deliver a blow, never
once allowing their attention to be di-
verted in any manner. Several passes
made with lightning like rapidity were
neatly parried. and we were greatly
puzzled to know which displayed the
greatest amount of science, SO equally
were they matched.
At length one of them, assuming the
offensive, pressed his antagonist back
ward few feet and, quick as a fash.
delivered a stunning blow on the cheek
which laid it open to the bone. Sud-
denly the wounded athlete ducked, and.
grasping his antagonist by the legs.
lifted him high In the air. The latter
dealt him another blow. this time upon
the crown of the head, but, nothing
daunted. he threw his man. and. as he
arose. struck him terrific blow in the
face. which tumbled him over in a
heap. Like cat he recovered his
feet and closed with the other. Then
followed a shower OF blows which so
disfgured the pugilists that their faces
were hardly recognizable. Calcutta

Dickens fn Hartford.

A.
 Dickens, the novelist, on his first visit to America, came down to Hartford in this little steamer in February, 1S42. It was an open winter. Dickens appeared, as he landed from the boat and was driven up, followed by crowds, to the City hotel, like a young Cockney swell rather than the man who had pictured such characters and scenes as he had done in his world admired novels; a writer who had already struck intellectual blows at abuses in society. His hair was long, hanging down over his coat collar; his gaudy plaid vest in celors, and his showy necktie and fashy jewelry, all were "loud. and iarringly out of harmony with the ides people had formed of the author of such 6 character as Little Nell. But his fresh, full colored youthful face had nevertheless g certain stamp of genius. fine dinner waf eiven to him at the City hotel, at which the convivialty was general. MT. Hamersley wrote a song for the occasion, which was sung with great eclat-"The fine Young En- gl1sh Gentleman" Dickens always spoke kindly of Hertford. It WAS here that he first made the acquaintance of the 'fsherry cob bler," drink of which he spoke in terms oi enthusiastic admiration, and on the ride te New Haven he suggested to MT. Hamersley more than one repetition of the delectable compound, the materials of which had beer thoughtfully put aboard the train. But il bothered him to remember the name of tht ambrosia He would interrupt conversation with-"By the way, what did you say wal the name of that drink we hada" ''Was il sherry cobbler?'' said Hamersley. ooh, yes Sherry cobbler! Sherry cobbler!" eagerly e1' claimed Dickens. ''suppose we have another?' And "the other" one was made every time call was made for it.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The tariff bill will busy the Senate from now on till a vote Is reached. No other measure of importance will receive serious consideration, and the Edmunds joint resolution with MT. Gray s amendment, which was laid aside yesterday until tomorrow, must bide it's time if it re- quires prolonged attention.
 The deadlock caused by the attempt to tinker the rules and check fllibustering the first and third Mondays of each month against motions to pass measures under a suspension of the rules is likely to continue unless the resolution offered by MT. Reed of Maine is temporarily withdrawn. Should this be decided upon Chairman Crisp, of the committee on elections, will call up on Tues- day the South Carolina contested election case of Smalls against Elliot, following it, as soon as it is disposed of by the Sullivan Felton contested election case. Every oppor- tunity to continue the consideration of the river and harbor bill will be seized by Mr. Blanchard of Louisiana, who has the measure in charge, and the committee on foreign af- fairs is awaiting chance to call up the di- plomatic appropriation bill. The sundry civil appropriation bill will be reported dur ! ing the week.

TWO STEAMSHIPS COLLIDE.

TWO SHEA AmSA1FS COL The Main Sinks the Montana In a Fog Chief Engineer Young Killed. BALTIMORE, Jan. 5.-In dense fog yester- day the steamships Main and Montana col- lided in the Patapsco river. Both vessels be- long to the Atlantic Transport compsny's line. The Montana, commanded by Captain w. Fl. Williams, was outward bound, and had only cleared this morning. When off Steelton, point about ten miles from the city, the fog was so dense and the winds so high that the captain thought it advisable to anchor. A short time afterward the Main
 came up. The wind was blowing gale and the rain falling in torrents. The lookout on the inward bod vessel could not see three feet beyond the Duw of the vessel and neither captain was aware of the close proximity of the other boat Suddenly the hull of the Montana loomed up through the mist and nasty orders were given to port ship. This was done as quickly as pos sible, but too late to sail clear. The bow of the Main struck the Montana between the third and fourth holds, near the stern, making an ugly hole, which extended below the wa- ter line. As the Main backed out the water rushed into the vessel and the panic-stricksn crew made for the deck. The shock loosened the derrick on the Montana, which fell with crash, carrying down beneath it Robert M. Young, the chief engineer, and killing him instantly. Two of the sailors caught glsncing blows and were knocked overheard, but they caught the chains hanging from the side and were rescued.
 The water meanwhile poured into the Mon- tana, which began to fill, and the work of re- moving the 214 head of cattle on the ship had to be accomplished quickly. The rest of the cargo, consisting of grain, flour and lard, and valued at $150,000. was totally destroyed. The Montana was bo1nd for London and was commanded by Captain W. T Williams. The Main was loaded with tin plate from Swansea and London. Captain Griffith is her com- mander. The vessels are owned by the Bal timore Storage and Lighterage company. The Montana is now resting easy in ten feet of water.
 Captain Moller brought his vessel into port this morning and states that the Montana was plainly seen and every effort was made to pass her on the stern end, but that for some reason his rudder refused to repond to | the movements of the wheel, and though the ! engines were reversed the steamer could not
 be stopped in time to avoid the collision. A
 \ stiff wind was blowing from the east and the | sea was running very high st the time. The
 ! Main was moving very slowly. The Monta-
 | na will if possible be raised at once. Wreck ! CTS went to work to-day, and twenty-six of
 | the cattle were brought ashore. The body ot Chief Engineer Young has been brought to
 this city. It will be smbalmed and taken to

He is in Chicago for the purpose of conferring with parties here concerning their gold and silver mines in Honduras, and will ascertain whether they are satisfied with the way their property is being managed, and whether or not further investment would be practicable.
 He said tonight that Honduras was one of the richest mining countries in the world, and what it wanted now was settlers from America, railroads, schools and manufac- turers. She would like to become a State of the United States.
