Payson Tucker was in his younger
days companion of Artemus Ward,
and tells many good story about
him, says the Lewiston (AIe. Journal.
Here is one that the railroad manager
related to Ex-Governor Plaisted at the
Twin Mountain House the other day +:
Artemus was out very late one night,
and came home in a driving snow
storm. The family had retired. Ar
temus went around the house and
threw snow-balls at his brother Cyrus
window, shouting for him to come
down quickly. Cyrus appeared in
haste, and stood shivering in his night
clothes.
"Why don't you come in, Charles {?

"Oh," replied Artenus, II could

down because 1 wanted to ask you if
you really thought it wrong to keep
slaves"

is one of the rarest of the colonial
pieces. At the time it was struck the
colonists had but little coin, because
they had to send their money to Eng

the medium of exchange. Finally, in
1862, the Massachusetts Legislature
authorized the coming of Pine Tree

PURvIs, Miss, Aug. 14.-The grand jury
this morning found indictments against
John l.. Sullivan and Fitzpatrick, the
referee of the Sullivan-Kilrain fight.
The Indictment against Sullivan, re-

John L. Sullivan, by and in pursuance
of a previous appointment and arrange
ment made to meet and engage in prize
fight with Jake Kiirain, and for large
sum of money, did unlaWfully engage in
a prize fight in ring commonly called
a prize ring, and did then and there
beat, strike aud bruise the said Jake
Kilrain. against the peace and dignity
of the state of Mississippi. The indict-
ment gives the names of six of the
grand jurymen as witnesses. They
were at the fight. Indictments were
also found against Jake Kilrain, Null
doom, Cleary and Donovan. The indict-
ment against Fitzpatrick charges him
with aiding and abetting in the fight, but
did not specify in what way. The cap

quest to issue acquisitions for the of
tenders. A gentleman. who is friend
of the governor and has cOnverSed with
him, says the governor has cooled down
considerably about the prize fight, and
is leaving it in the hands of the courts.
The governor seems to be more friendly
inclined toward Sullivan than before,
and considers him less blamable than
some others i'm the affair.
