TRE PROPOSED PRIZE FIGHT
The Chances for the Mill at Hot Springs
Much Improved

LITTLE Rock, Ark Oct. 1.-THE
chances for meeting at Hot Springs on
October 81 between Corbess and Fitzsim-
mons appear to DO much brighter to-
night than at any time during the past
few days. Indeed, it would now seem
that the only obstacle in the way OF the

to agree to the revised articles
Governor Clarke returned from Hot
Springs to-day. His conference with

the governor himself stoutly refuses to
say anything on the subjecs. When
Questioned in regs-d to HIS visit to Hot
Springs the governor merely said tina.

gram from Brigadier General Tavlor
and that he had been present at a

JOHN DERN. the German-American
who lately LETT Lunenburg county be-
cause OF alleged persecution there and
settled in Richmond. was taken back a
few days ago to answer the charge of
stealing tobacco He assorted his inno-
cence, declaring that the charge and
arrest WAS the work of his enemies in
the county, and such seems to have
been the case, as, when he appeared for
trial in Lunenburg, no evidence against
him wes forthcoming. Judge Orgain,
therefore, dismissed the complaint, and
Dern is cnco moro g free man. While
the German may not be o very desirable
citizen in some respects, the treatment
to which no has been subjected in
Lunenburg will certainly not commend
the county especially as g place of resi-
dence for men of Dern's nationality.

Disgusting Themselves.

a drunkard, who knew his weakness,
took the precaution the other day (writes
james Payn) of attaching a label to
himself with % name and address OH it.
81 am out for the day said the label.
"When am boozed, tic this to my but
tonhole and send me home" What was
very ingenious-tho magistrate before
whom he was summoned thought it too
ingcnious-he did not write his own
namo and address on the label, but that
of his employer. This reminds one of
the presence of mind, but absence of
principle, exhibited by Sheridan, who,
being picked up drunk in the gutter and
asked his name by the constable. replied,

Of love, al element in marriage, the
Greek maiden knew nOthins: the choice
Of IL husband was no concern Of hers
and custom would have p ecluled her
making his acquaintance before the
wedding day. She was won bat not
wooed. The strange, subtle growth
of passion, attaining both consumma-
ton and sanction in IA union blessed
by family and Stat, did not enter i'll
to her experience. She was the instru-
ment of All arrangement, which on one
side was Il mere family bargain. but
on another side was Of national impar,
ance. For on the insignificant thread
of a girls destiny depended the purl-
ty of the race. No marriage exc p
with an Athonian citizen, was C on>id"r-
ed valid. When the substantial par,
of the business, the dowry aud the
agreements, had been settled by TIL
higher powers, came the preliminary,
sacrifice to the tutelar goods Of mar
riage, the lock Of hair dedicated to
Artemis, and the offerings to Hera
ami the Fates. This sacrifice WAS
performed by the father, and nj hit be
few days before the marliagc. When
the great day arrived, the young
bride had various mystic rites to GO
through among the most important
and solemn Of which WAS the ccremo-
nal bathing in water brought from
the spring CalIirhoe. Both bride
and bridegroom must battle in this
sacred water, which WAS fetched for
the purpose by Il relative of youthful
age. or such profound signilicanc
was this rite, that over the tombs of
those who died unmarried was fire.
