A little incident which occurred in one
of our saloons few days ago, teaches too
noble lesson to 60 unnoticed.
A quarrel was going on between an old
ragged drunken Irishman. and an ag.
gressive ill.tempered fellow, Of a much
better financial standing. After much
abuse. and several invitations to fight it
out, the Irishman was induced to try him
round as much for accommodation as
anything else. Coats were pulled of,
ring formed, and the fight began. The
blows were sent in to the unfortunate
Irishman until his face was covered with
blood before he could succeed to any
kind of defense. At this junction they
clinched, fell to the floor, and superior
strength changed the fight in Paddy's
favor and he came to the top with his
antagonists face in chancery. At this
point the crowd cheered Paddy with
Bang him plenty, old man." "Hit him
diff or two!" etc. Spured on by rage,
and smarting blows. he forced his oppo-
nents face into helpless position before
him, hauled back his fist two or three
times to obey the outside commands, and
then stepped back from the helpless man
saying: II can't do it boys, can't, and
/ won't hit him now, for he's down.
The fight ended and the drinks were
served all around.
In high life when comrade starts to
fall,
His friends jump in to seize his all;
But where no virtue can be found
And man lays helpless on the ground
An Irishman, on whose face you'd
| frown
Said, I'M not hit him boys while he's
down"

Wash and merry crowd assembled
and passed the hours Of the evening
pleasantly. Ga returning home, the
driver of oae of the wagons, in which
were seated the school teacher and FIVE
other young ladies', had his evenings
plearure marred, and the happy thoughts
that were coursing through his mind
ruthlessly dashed to the ground, the
pleasant dreams OF the future dispelled,
and all on account Of little "tip over"
for which, under the circumstances, he
was hardly accountable. Being of a
gallant disposition he paid more atten.

his team and an upset was the conse.
quence, right in mud puddle. The
