THE PRIZE-FIGHT.

Well. the fight is over, and the Caifor-
nian has won. The bIaggart, the invincible,
the man of low life. the wife-beater. was
battered ont of shane in fair fight, and
swayed from side to side on his knees, un-
able TO get UT, at the feet of "a young
man Of &C. who did not bear a scratch on
his face or his chest to show that he had
been engaged in a fsticuff match. At
o'clock on Wednesday it was impossible to
find bettors on COrbett at l 10 8; at 10
o'clock that night the most reckless sport
would not have risked penny on Sullivan
at any odds. Once again the unexpected
had happened.
The detailed account Of the fight shows
that Sullivan must have lost in any event
If his antagonist could last twenty-five
rounds. He had not the stamina TO go on.
Too much whisky, too much debaueh, had
sapped his power Of endurance. After the
sixteenth round his breath came quick and
fast and his aim was confused. AS a reporter
says, he kept boring tunnels in the air with
his fsts-an exhausting performance. From
this moment he was fighting himself. He
would have gone to grass anyway. even if
Corbett had not put in those terrible rights
and let's. He was oyerweighted ny the
fatigue had paralyzed his muscles.
Corbett's performance is unparalleled in
the history of the ring. 4 pugilst however
superior to his opponent, does not expect to
come cur of a fight without some abrasion
of the cuticle. Corbett is said not to have
been hit once. His superior agility enabled
him 10 dodge Sullivan's tremendous blows :;
the latter never came near him. His train
ing must have been as thorough as his skill
was marvellous Quite a picture is drawn
by the reporter who says that after the
twelfth or thirteenth round Sullivan seemed
weary of the monotouy of aiming blows
which never went anywhere. He had
counted on knocking out his adversary
with two or three of those terrible swings
which would have made an OK tremble; but
he could not get one of them 10.
Mr.. Corbett is now champion of the
world. 1t is a rank which, though it be
topic for a sheer in polite circles. most men
do not eOvet. In the past it has not COM
manded much respect in the lifetime of its
possessor, and it has not ennobled his men,
ory. Who knows anything about Tom
Crib, or Mendoza, or Gully, or Tom Sayers.
CT Morrissey, or Heenan, or Mace? IT'S
the most thai sporting books make passing
mention of their names. If they had lived
In the days Of Ajax. the man of might who
could throw a stone which team of oxen
could not move, some Anglo-SaXon Homer
might have handed down their deeds to pos
terity. But times have changed.

THE SCOTTISH CAPITAL.
An Interesting Address by Sir Archibald
Geikie.


Boston Herald.
We restrict our notice TO the close of his
address, in which he presented view of
what could have been seen from Castle
Rock, the central and Oldest site in Edin-
burgh, during the successive changes that
have come over the face OF the planet since
it had been within reach OF the conjectures
OF man. la few graphic touches he took
his hearers back from the present time
through long range of earlier landscapes
which science has made known to us. His
first picture was TO substitute the mingled
copse-woOd aud forest Of prehistoric times
for the busy streets OF Edinburgh. Then
he introduced polar scene with bushes
OF stun ted Arctic willow and birch, among
which herds of reindeer browse and the
huge mammoth makes his home. The dis
taut CLEAN Of glaciers and snowfelds marks
the line Of the Highland Mountains. The
next scene is more Arctic in aspect until
every hill is buried under one vast sheet Of
ice 1000 feet or more In thickness, which
fills the whole midland valley of Scotland
and creeps slowly eastward into the basin
Of the North Sea. The next spectacle shows
that the familiar hills and valleys of the
Lothians have disappeared and swamps
and Jungles and open seas ara dotted with
little volcanic cones, which th-ow out their
streams of lava aud Of ashes. Before this
took place a wide lake covered the whole
midland valley and contained long lines of
active volcanoes, some OF them several
thousand feet in height Previous to this
wide cxpanse OF sea 0verspread most of
Britain in siluriau times. Beyond this there
is nothing but the primeval darkness, and
in this picture of what has transpired in
successive ages Professor Geikie has roughly
stated about all We know Of the antiquity of
the earth. Everything else is guess or

RUINS OF ST. CLOUD.
Napoleon's Favorite Abode Sold for Old
building Material.


London Times
The ruins of ST. Cloud have been sold by
auction. All that war and time had left of
the beautiful palace. where kings and en-
perors loved to take their pleasure. has been
knocked down to speculative purchaser as
so much old building material. The most
austere champion of equality, the most rigid
and soulless of economists, must feel some
thing Of a shock that such an edifce should
meet with such doom. That Frenchmen
should desire to remove conspicuous monu-
ment OF the humiliations, the sufferDgS and
the disasters brought upon their country by
a cruel invasion is natural enough, nor is it
strange that the rulers OF the republic
should be eager to 0blterate the last traces
of building each stone Of which is satur-
ated with the memories OF dynasties gone
by But there is something repulsive in
the manner in which they have chosen to
carry out their decision.
If the relies OF the once favorite abode Of
the BourbOns and the Napoleons were pub
licly sold for few score pounds from any
wish to exhibit democratic contempt for
mOnarchical traditions, the proceeding was
childish as well as paltry. The associations
and the memories that linger round ST.
Cloud cluster as closely about half a dozen
other palaces which adorn the envrons of
Paris. They are part, aud not the least glo-
riOus part OF the history of France. and
1t is idle TO seek to erase them from the rec
election Of mankind by any process of
physical destruction. On the other hand,
il the sale was ordered without any thought
Of the sentiments which such an act was
certain TO evoke. the persons who decreed
so Grass piece OF PhIiistiniSm are blessed
with little OF that discernment and tact
which we habitually ascribe to Frenchmen.
The Government might have undertaken
the necessary work themselves To con-
denim the remains of noble historic monu-
ment, inseparably connected with some of
the most brilliant episodes in the annals Of
France, TO be carted away as rubbish by the
highest bidder, is an outrage against en-
lightened patriotism, under whatever pre-.
texts 1t may be peTpetrated.

PARIS BY GASLIGHT.
Incidents of a Night in the Gay Cap


Atlanta Constitution
''At night. at night. but OH, what a diff
ference in the morning" describes Paris
better than any saying ever applied to it.
AS so soon as the shades OF evening begin
to fall over this gay and wicked city, the
thousand of electric lights fash I'D in every
street. In the Bots there are many, but the
Champs Elysees, with one every fifty feet
for its entire length on both sides, makes
the Bots and the entire city, in fact, look
dim.
Much has been written about the myriad
amusements that Paris produces at night;
OF her several huge and magnificent pleas
ure gardens, theaters, music and dancing
halls. her II 900 or more Cafes her gambling
parlors and ether pleasure resorts, bat as
the Queen of Sheba said: THE half has
not yet been told me-" On this night every
one of them is in full blast, every light
flashing its brightest, every woman looking
her very prettiest.
The streets of Paris are very wide The
proprletors OF the cafes need room. They
put up little glass screens at each end of
their stores. These screens reach out into
the street about ten feet. Tables and
chairs are then put in the space thus fenced
in, an awning hung overhead, electric lights
lit, and behold! we have a cafe of good
size. Soon the tables are surrounded by
diamond bedecked women aud men clothed
in the latest style They smoke, drink
dozen kinds OF drinks, laugh and talk Of
we'll, anything, everything.
Skulking around among the tables is seen
a p0prly-dressed man. His ragged coat and
threadbare trousers are sadly out of place
In this gay throng.
He carries a short stick with a sharp iron
point on the end. He spies a cigar stub :;
one swift movement and he pins it and slips

crowds, for the theaters have opened. There
is one in every street, it seems. The best is
the Grand Opera House. 1t is probably the
finest playhouse in the world. Among the
dance gardens are the Moulin Rouge, Jar
din Mabille aud Jardin de Paris. The
orgies held in these places are quite beyond
the comprehension OF the ordinary Ameri-

PECULIARITIES OF STEEL.
The Opinion Expressed That 1t is Liable
to Be Changed by Time.

The Opinion Expressed That It is Liable
to Be Changed by Time.
A writer In the Ironmonger expresses the
opinion that steel is liable to be changed by
the action Of time, unaided by any external,
mechanical or chemical influence and in
support of his view that time alone appears
to be sufficient to produce these changes he
cites several examples Of failures which
have occurred within his own experience.
some fiat steel plates cracking spontane
ously. and others on being tested by
dropping. Mention is made of numer-
Gus boiler plates that cracked after
the boilers had been at work for years, and
weeks after the steam pressure had been
reduced and the water run out, and this.
too, in the face of the fact of every boiler
being tested to double its working pressure
when new. Another instance is the crack
ing Of hardened armor-piercing steel shells
several months after their delivery to pur
chasers, this being attributed to the after
effects Of the hardening process-though, if
independent OF time, the shells ought TO
crack during the operation or not at all.
Such peculiarities are presumed to be caused
chiefly by the unequal tension of the metal.
whether due to the process of Oil-hardenipg
or to some other fact. 1t is we'll known that
some cutlery manufacturers prefer to keep
their caSt-steel ingots two or three years be-
fore working them up, their experience
demonstrating that the steel is thereby i'm
proved.

THE LOVE OF DRESS.
1t Is Not Incompatible with Vigorous
Character.
Xar gun


That love for dress and all its costly &C /.
cessories is incompatible with vigorous
character and physique is theory which
the history of the past aud the progress of
the present equally disprove. Queen Eliza
beth, the greatest Queen of the most
wonderful era Christendom had in her
day known. with the heart of a king
and the talents Of statesman. was q
most passionate lover of jewels and as
woman inordnately vain. Her stays were
OF buckram, her gowns innumerable, her
ruffs tremendous, and her wigs eight in
number. Mary Stuart, too, laced into the
terrible stays of the day. and dressed in the
extreme of French fashion, had a frame of
iron, knew nothing of fatigue, and galloped
ninety miles after her last defeat without a
stop except for change OF horses. And the
strong and healthy English women. who
are continually held up 10 their more deli
cate American sisters as perfect specimens
OF physical womanhood. are greatly adj
dcted 10 tight lacing. following the bent OF
their beloved Princess of Wales and her
long-waisted daughters, and yet they grow
taller and stronger with each succeeding
generation.

FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.
A Contribution OF $50, 900 Wanted From
This Citv.


This City.
The task Of securing $4,000 from this
city and county TO make a proper showing
at Chicago has been delegated to the reor-
ganized San Francisco Commission of the
Worlds Fair by the State Commissioners.
A general talk over the situation VIII be
had to-day at headquarters In the Flood
building.
1t is planned to raise some money by sub
seriptions, but lift of $4,000 OF so from
the Supervisors would greatly help along
things. Some Of the City Fathers have
promised to lend their aid in this matter
and it will be brought TO their attention ere
long.
c. b. Terrill, who is arranging the pre-
llminary display at the Pavilion, thinks
that the outlook is for more contributions
from the various counties than there will be
space to exhibit them. This display, TO be
afterward sent to Chicago, will continue
SIX weeks, opening on the 10th of January.
The monthly meeting of the State Com
missloneTa will be held on Tuesday.

Postmaster Peacock tells US that a son of
Indian Billy Jewell, better known as Billy
Key West young man q years old, met
ing last week in the Indian hunting grounds
in Dade County. Billy, who is good
hunter, went out and shot large buck.
Thinking him dead he stopped down on
coming up to him to cut his throat. The
buck in his last ag0nies made for him, and
drove his horns into the abdomen of the In
dian, ripping them open. After three DAYS,
Billy not returning, party was made up,
and attracted by the buzzards, both hunter
and hunted Were found dead together--ths
Indian still impaled on the horns OF the
