The Moody Book is Ready.

DARHlNGION SENThE, liz. Il.
To The EpiToR or THE NEWS;
SRA publication of the whole of the
series OF Mr.. Moody's sermons, suggested
TO The NEWS by the Rev. Mr.. Osterhout,
would be highly priced, not only by us
who can now hear the valuable discourses
from his own lips, or read them in your
paper soon after, but posterity will look
upon il as "Jewei of Intrinsic Value"
How could Providence better show its
appreciation of the good work that Mr..
Moody has done among its citizens, than
by popular demand for a monument of
his Living Words" to be erected by its
enterprising Republican paper, THE
NEWS, for the benefit of all.
II will do far more good than could a
costly publication as it will reach many
more people. Very respectfully
FREDERICK N. DEvoLL.

FISHES TRA1NED TO FIGHT.
A Peculiar Sport that is Said to be Popula,
 in Siam.

A Peculiar Sport that is Said to be Popular
 in Siam.
 From the London Field]
 The two fish are placed in the same bottle. They proceed ito take each oth- er's measure, shoulder up to each other in schoolboy fashion, :and back and push around the ring" the small fins vibrating rapidly all the time, and each little being quivering with excite ment and wrath. This goes on for some minutes until, as the spectators are growing impatient, one fish sud- denly fiips his head around, makes a dart, and a considerable dent in his adversaries tail shows at once that he has gone home. Henceforth there is no hesitation until one or the other cries "peccavi." In regular fish fights on which money depends the battle is continued until one fish turns tail and is chased around the ring by the other. But this is usually an affair of an hour, and frequently three or four.
 The pluck and determination of the fighters are wonderful. The ordinary stream fish do not evince it nearly so much as those that have been bred and reared for the purpose. The tail is the part which shows most damage. for it is very easily torn, but a good grip on side fin is most effective. When one pins the other by the nose an exciting struggle takes place, the two lying fas- tened together like professional wrest- lers, and then shaking each backward and forward with might and main. They often seem extremely exhausted, and sometimes it is a matter of diff culty to part them. They display con- siderable agility in evading their oppo- nent's mouth, and also in suddenly turning around and taking a piece out of its tail. In twenty minutes or so these appendages which looked so brave and bright as they went into the fray, are torn to ribbons.
 The fish's general appearance after the fight suggests that of a sailing ship emerging from hot action, with her canvas hanging in streamers, her top- masts shot away, and her crew gasp ing for breath, but still ready to fight again. The fish sometimes succumb to a long contest, but generally they only take superficial damage, and are im- mediately ready to feed.
