told me this story the other evening: 81
never made a business of teaching for sew
eral reasons. 1t is not satisfactory from a
financial standpoint and it has many
annoyances. If you teach you are tied to
your engagements with them. You cannot
dispose of your time with as goo1 results as
if you are free. Now and then, though,
have given lessons to my fri ends for 10th
ing, a id once had pupil who paid me.
That was In san Francisco; be was physi-
clan of that city and he gave me $50 a lesson.
| would not go through the same trouble
again for $500 lesson. He was one of
those theoretical athletes who have their
heads stuffed full of rules and he nearly
had me crazy. A bout with him was like a
policy game-'one' meant a straight left
| handler; two a straight right handler: one
two a right hand cross counter; 'two-four'
| a left hand swing; then there was 'two-four-
two and 'four-Gwo-four' aud 'five-seven-
eight and all the other combinations you
can make out Of the numbers below ten. He
insisted that | should go by the book and
was kind enough to show me everything.
Dash the thing, got those figures on the
brain trying to learn them, aud could not
sleep for the nightmare they gave me. !
got the book to see if ne really understood
it himself. Yes, he had it all straight. 1t
did not seem to occur to him that instead Of
me teaching him he was teaching me.
Finally when he was in the middle of one
of his lectures did this, (here Dempsey
drew back MS left fist aad threw forward
his left foot with a very violent motion,
clinchinz his teeth as he did so.) What is
the number of thisp / asked as / sent
good hot left handler at him. AS / expected
both his hands few up IN front of his face
and that one motion scattered all his theory.
1t was not a particular hard punch, but it
landed fair in his stomach aud doubled him
up in corner When he got on his fe ct
again he remembered an engagement he
had been peglecting and went right off TO
attend to it. That was the last / saw of
him and l must say / was glad
would have gone insane if be had kept on
trying to stuff me with his book. What he
was doing was good enough If he only in
tended to show mis- friends bow clever he
was in parlor, but for fighting purposes il
was absolutely useless. The power of hit
ting hard, getting away quickly aud stand
| ing prolonged and severe nam .nering only
comes from practice. Rules which can do
pugilist any good are very few and very
simple and he soons learns them by expert
ence. Reading books viii never teach any
man how to fight and doubt If it will help
him" SYDNEY REID.

Mathews as Richard III.

Walter S. Mathews was greeted by
a good house Thursday evening, and
his presentation of the difficult char.
acter of Richard was very creditable
for an actor who had been on the
stage less than two weeks Mr.
Mathews is but 26 years old and in
figure is slight and in statue small
He is decided blonde, in fact his
hair very nearly approaches red and
his eyes are light blue. The young
actor has taken thorough course Of
training, but il takes experience
more than training to make the great
tragedian. His acting shows un-
doubted talent and there Is surely
bright future for him, after he has
had experience and corrected minor
defects which 1t is not necessary here
TO mention. His support is strong
one and the fencing in the last act
between Richard and Richmond was
very good indeed and the curtain fell
in a storm of applause. -t

The assassination of Col. Jno. M.
Clayton, at PlummerVille, Ark, is
the foulest crime of the kind that has
occurred for a generation. Clayton
was a Republican politician and made
the race for Congress against Clifton
r. Breckenridge, who was elected by
$50 majority. After the polls closed,
the Plummerville ballot-box was
stolen by four masked men, supposed
to have been Democrats, from the
fact that the precinct gave Clayton
45O majority. Clayton contested
Breckenridge's election and while a
Plummcrville engaged in collecting
evidence he was shot through the
window of his boarding house and
instantly killed with a charge Of
buckshot. The assassin is unknown
but whether righteously or not the
Democrats have been charged with
the crime, though there is no proof to
that effect. The state Of Arkansas
has offered a reward of 5000 and
Mr.. Breckenridge should himselfsup-
plement this with a private reward
and spare no effort to bring the gull
ty party to the gallows. lie was in
Washington at the time and con-
dennis the crime in the strongest
terms.

Patrick Bryan, father OF the lieu
tenant governor of Kentucky, who
died at Nashville last week, was a
poor Irishman who formerly kept q
toll-gate near Covington. His son
was educated as beneficiary of the
Garth fund of Paris, studied law and,
after attaining success in his pro
fession, was elected to the State Sen
ale and at the age of 80 years was
elected lieutenant governor of the
State. lie is an example of what a
brainy young man can do in spite OF
poverty, and his success should en-
courage many poor youth to put
forth his best endeavors to overcome
difficulties that may at first appear
to be insurmountable.

man, to make friends and not ell

morals of the public. Don't try t.
lr volutionize things by dumping
on your public officials. Don't car
ny on any kind of controversy in your

hours latter. An attempt was made
to suppress the truth, but it finally
leaked out.
