John Morrisey, who was sent to Congress
from New York city, was not the first prize
hghter to be honored with high offic. Some
fifty years ago an English pugilist, John Gull
ley, became member of Parliament. He
was elected to the House of Commons for
the borough of Pontefract, Yorkshire con.
stituency by no means given to take up with
the first conner. Gulley was a self-made man
and had very progressive career. First
butcher, then prize-fghter, he rose, after
leaving the ring, to be man of wealth and
responsibility, and won an excellent social
position, which his family maintained after
his death.
Congressman S. S. Cox was an enthusiast
tic friend of the four new States recently
added to the Union. and did much to remove
the stain cast upon the Democratic party for
opposing on political grounds their admis-
sion. He was enthusiastic on this subject,
and compared the addition of the four impe-
rial Commonwealth to the Union to those
Democratic extensions of Its limit which
brought in the great Western country by the
Louisiana purchase and won Texas and
California from Mexico. By. force of good
humor. as well as by force of logic, he saved
his party from grave mistake. This ques-
tlon OF the admission of these new States is
as great one as that which Mr.. Douglas
struggled with upon this floor" he said to
his colleagues in caucus, warningly. "But
you are not Mr.. Douglas" retorted Mr..
Breckinridge of Kentucky. who was oppos-
ing. NO." replied Mr.. Cox. .'Mr. Douglas

Senator Call of Florida is having a yery

one, too, il anything may be judged by the
evident bad temper of the honorable Sena-

contention, and Senator Call is on one side
and Col. w. ID. Chipley. chairman of the
State Democratic executive committee, is on
the other, and is the aspirant also fer Mr..
Calls seat. After the old style Col Chipley
has challenged the Senator to discussion,
but the latter declines, though he is willing
that Col. Chipley shall come to any of his
meetings and occupy part of the time If
Col. Chipley accepts the invitation some

The admirable treatise on light gymnastics
for schools, prepared for the annual report
of the State Board of Health by Director F..
n. Whittier, of the Sargent gymnasium at
Bowdoin College, has been published in
pamphlet form for general circulation. 1t is
so clearly written and so well illustrated
that it can be used by the teachers of any
school or by scholars themselves. The exer-

without apparatus. In issuing his work in a

Whittier has supplemented usefully the SER

The letter in which John L. Sullivan an
nounces his intention Of running for Con-
gress in Boston having been before the pub
lie undenied long enough to entitle 1t to a
place as political classic, it will be enter
tanning to examine the ideas which this high
est representative of the brute creation has
of public Office and of himself. After briefly
announcing that when the time comes to
elect new Congressman in Boston, he shall
be candidate on the Democratic ticket If he
can get the nomination, Sullivan goes on to
give the reasons why he should be sent to
Congress. "In the first place." he says, ST

object that, If voting straight constitutes a
first lien on the support of their party. they
could have foreclosed on seats in Congress-
years ago; but Sullivan has prepared for any

Governor of Mississippi to part with Sulli-
van is the strongest evidence of the influence
which the champion exerts oyer the minds
OF men. But popularity is sometimes evan
escent, unless public man has claims to the
gratitude of the people. But Sullivan is
well supplied with such claims. 81 have"

The gubernatorial canvass in Massachu-
sets is growing warm between the friends
OF Bracket and Grape. the leading aspir-
ants for the Republican nomination. The
Bracket men are holding their caucuses
early, and consequently are now leading in
the number Of delegates secured A victory
Ia the Fall River caucuses is their most gilt
tering advantage SO far; and they are con-
slderably elated But Chairman Burdett, of
the Grape committee, does not seem dis
couraged, but declares his belief that it will
take more than one swallow to make a
Bracket summer. Bracket" says Mr..
Burdett, twill continue to have the lead, at
least expect SO, all this week, for this is a
Bracket week, but unless mistake much
he will get far less number of delegates in
his own section than he anticipates. In
Hayerhill and Salem, for examele, his mana
gers are claiming solid delegations. 1t re.
mains to be seen how near their judgment
comes to the actual results. The plan which
they are trying in Worcester county is caus-
ing some uneasiness among our friends
there, where the Bates and anti-Bates lines
are so closely drawn; but there is not the
slightest foundation in truth for their decla-
ration that because Mr.. Bates is on the side
of Mr.. Grape there is chance of his SUI
premacy in Worcester county if Mr.. Grape is
elected. 1t is not to be denied that any
movement of the kind would be disastrous to
Mr.. Grape, and because of the bitterness
which has existed between the factions there
have taken pains to preserve peace as far
as possible" Mr.. Burdett thinks that if the
old Bates and anti-Bates ferment can be
kept quiet, the city of Worcester will give its
whole delegation to Grape.
