On The 30h OF tho present month
two gentlemen whose names are fam.
iliarly known the world over will meet
for the discussion of few most points
IN the science Of pugili-m in the pres
ence made up of the nobility and
gentry Of Great Britain. The gentle.
men referred to are Peter Jackson and
Frank Slavin. The price of adm issiou
to the contest has been fixed at $l25,
which amount is being rut up freely
in London.
1t is the duty Of everybody to be
shocked at the exhibition Of brutality
which is to occur OH the evening of
May Both, and, theoretically, all Of US
will be properly shocked: but at the
same time the very first news we shall
all look for the next morning will be
the news of the fight. We shall all
want 10 know how much we ought TO
be shocked and how badly ono man
had thrashed the ether. This we must
know, as a matter Of necessity, bet.rs
we can be prepared to deliver our
homilies and moral reflections ON the
evils of prize fighting.

with us, and Slavin and Jackson will
do their bsst te put the eyes OF each
other into mourning and to adorn the
bodies Of each other with various EN- :
blems which will be remem bered for
long time.
IT these two men want to bang each
other, and the English authorities do
not interfere we do not sec that it is
anybsdy's business The chances are
that neither will be seriously hurt, for
two fighters in perfect condition can

upon which person was about to sit down

chair of the imagination, but the discovery
would not be made until the sitter had
gone sprawling on the floor. In like man

by an apparent but Sctually nonexstent

to put fragile things or it, only to see them
drop to the floor and break. But the most

smoke assailing our nostrils in the still

swapping and cracking of light wood

A young Philadelphian, who was carried
over the Rifton falls, in New York, few
days since, is said to have been the only
person who has ever gone over them and
lived. While sailing on the Waikiki the
young mans little craft became unman-
ageable and was drifted by the current
toward the falls at Rifton. As the boat
was about plunging over them the young
man, with great presence of mind, jumped
from his craft TO the stream below, clear

striking deep water. With much difficulty
he swan for the shore and reached it in an
exhausted condition. The boat was dashed
to pieces. The falls at which the accident
took place are reported to be forty-five feet

HIs nfost MANLY onnlitr.

The American man is typical of all that
signifies devotion to her who gave him life
and being. He believes that God gave him
a wife to love, but mother to revere. His
most manly quality is his homage to his
mother. remember an instance where in
house occupied by two families point of
disagreement came up.
''Is 1t not possible that your mother may
