The English Dwelling.

The characteristic English dwelling is described as a two story brick house, walled in, and with the best part of the house at the back: there are the drawing and dining rooms, while the kitchen and pantries are in front. In suburban and country houses the rooms are large and are arranged around a hall: but the win dows and doors are small. The outside of the house is almost uniformly without architectural decorations, and the dull ness of the climate is seen in the somber- ness of the furniture and the adornments of the house.
 The interior is dull and uncheery. There is little 'sweetness and light in the colors, forms and expressions, except in the dwellings of more recent building and furnishing. Up to within a few years the inside finish was all of dark wood and the furniture was mahogany, of very heavy and ungainly construc- tion.
 But if you can dissociate the idea of comfort from that of art, the English home has very marked spirit of com fort. The sofa is easy and big and the chairs were made to use. The walls are papered, never painted, the papers being dark and of large pattern. The dining room is the living room of the middle class families. Such of the family as remain at home sit in that room during the forenoon and until after tho noon meal
 Were the color of the English house less somber and the furniture less cum. brous; were the rooms more open and less separated from each other, it would be the center of the most perfect ex. ternal comfort known to the domestic life of this world. As it is, the English house is the home of sweet love, oi thoughtful civility and of unforgetting and undying loyalty.-Geod Housekeep ing

WITH SIX OUNCE GLOVES. A Three Round Fight Between Gu
 Zills and George Platt.

Fills and George Platt.
 About seventy-five sports from Water bury, Bristol, Torrington and Thomas ton witnessed three round glove fight between Gus Fills, the light weight fancy boxer of New Haven, and George Platt of Goshen, whose professional name is Jack Mcclellan. at ? o'clock this morn ing, about ten or twelve miles north of this city.
 The match was for S1O0 side and the gate receipts. Six ounce gloves were Marquis of Queensbury rules. Fills is , feet, 9 inches ill height and stripped at 13S pounds. Platt's weight was 135 pounds and he is shorter than Fills by about three inches.
 In the first round Platt back-heeled Zills, giving him a hard fall. A foul was claimed but was not allowed, although Platt was cautioned by the referee, a we'll known Waterbury sport. The lit tie fellow forced the fighting and had decidedly the best of the round.
 The second round was a pretty one. Platt again forced the fighting and Zills minute of hard fighting, much to the de- light of the spectators, but no blood was spilled and both men retired to their cor ners not much the worse for the scrap. Platt opened the third and last round ; as if he meant business. A stinging right handler took the New Haven man completely off his feet and dazed him for a moment. He recovered and went at his opponent with fire in his eye, but i was almost immediately brought to his knees by clever drive. Platt here lost his head and followed up the advantage he had gained by striking Zills while the latter was on his knees. A foul was claimed and allowed and the fight was awarded to Fills, considerable amount of money changing hands on the result
 Platt is a natural fighter and might have won easily. This is his third battle and the first one he has lost. He is a country boy, his father living in Goshen but has been training in New York an6 Bridgeport for some time. He has entered the six days walking match te take place in this city next week. i Fills is we'll known here to the sport ing fraternity. He is clever boxer but is weak in a ring fight.
