Co. Journal An Illinois paper copied them from the Journal, Soon after ! there appeared In the Farmers Advo- | cate of Chicago an article on the sub jeet of immortality, written by Eugene Bulmer, and in this MT, McCreery's poem was quoted. The editor of Q Wis consin paper, admiring the poem more than the argument in prose. copied 1t and printed them with the name E. Bull mer attached. Had the name Eugene been given in full the mistake that fol lowed might have been more easily cor rected. The next compositor who set up the poem was probably one, and they are not few. who consider it their priv ilege to correct what they suppose to be other peoples blunders He chang ed Bulmer to Bulwer, and thereafter the poem travelled about from the Unit ed States to Canada, to England, Ire land, Scotland, Wales and everywhere else where the English language is spoken, always as the work of Edward Bulwer-Lytton. It appeared in read ing books. in collections of poety, and even. as a portion oe a speech, in the Congressional Record. Thirteen years after it was written the Harpers pub- 1 lished a school reader containing it, crediting it to Lord Lytton. MT. Me Creery, having called their attention to this as an error, they took pains to write to owen Meredith" the son of Lord Lytton, inquiring if his father had written it. In reply, he said decidedly, that his father did not write it, nor had he or any Of his family, ever seen. or heard of 1t. Thereafter, in at least one book, the name of the true author was appended to the poem, but it required nearly five years to effect the change. l Most people were so sure however, that | the poem was written by Bulwer, that MT. McCreery met with abuse and in suit whenever he attempted to claim it. l When in 1883, he published small vol ume entitled, Songs of Toil and Tri- umph," it contained his revised version of There is No Death,' and thereby brought upon himself the charge of pi- racy. He was finally obliged as the only means of sustaining his claim, to offer $1,00o to any one who could show that the poem appeared before 1863, or that it was written by Edward Bulwer- Lytton, an offer that still stands good. It is probable that the name of Bulwer helped the poem in gaining it's immense popularity; it is also probable that I without it's true poetic merit critical readers would have been unwilling to accept it as the work of the English writer. As it is. the more famous man, the author by profession, need never had been ashamed, had he known it, that his name had brought to such ex- l tended notice the work of an obscure and reserved man, who wrote little po- etry, and that only when heart and brain prompted him to the utterance of simple, delicate and spiritual thoughts.

collar turns away from it. "A belt holds the blouse below the waist, and the skirts below are scant, and to the knee or a little below.
 At the other side of the picture there is dainty little dress of bright red and sage green silk-and-wool plaid. It is to be worn with a guimpe, which is of white China silk. The skirt hangs in full 'boxipleats and a small ruffle of the goods edged with narrow valenciennes lace is gathered to the yoke band. The guimpe has full puff sleeves with prettily shirred cuff A small frill of lace adorns the neck band.
 Cornelia needed no jewels, and the central figure of this group is suitably attired in a simple homedress of golden brown crepon. Its blouse waist Is gathered at the neck and waist in front, but has a plain back. It hooks in front and is finished with jabot and stock collar Of white chiffon. The moderate fly full sleeves are slashed on the in side and outside of the arm and are bordered with a narrow frilling of white chiffon. The skirt is full and lined with taffeta. Simple waists of this sort afford a fine chance for the use of dainty neck garnitures, and such will give to the dress an appear ance of freshness that is highly desira- bic and very easily and iIiexpensiveiy attained. FLORETTE.

THE RIG FIGHT.

The Dig prize fight which was pull ed off, or dragged off," yesterday had two conspicuous merits. It did not take place on United States soil and it only lasted about minute and half, How 1t was allowed to take place on Mexican soil is not very clear, but per haps it was discovered by the Mexicans that 1t would be inconsistent to insist on breaking up prize fight while bull fights continued to be respectable.
 Those who read reports of prize fights because they like to, and those who read them so that they can intelli- gently talk or preach against prize fighting will not find much to read about in the report of this one. Four 'clinches," half a dozen exchanges" and "a knockout" tell the brief story. There is no long record of brutality The great work was done with neat ness and dispatch, and the blowing of Maher and his friends came to as com plete and inglorious conclusion as the blowing Of suddenly busted" bellows.
 A prize-ffght that takes place in Mex ieo and lasts but a minute and half is great gain. Now if ''Fitz" can take Corbett down into Mexico or Central America and stop his blowing in min ute it will be good thing. And then if an able goat could meet "F'itz" and in a second teach him, by well aimed and well delivered butt the vanity of human glory that would be another good thing. and would leave the cham pionship where it belongs.
 The United States appears to be well rid of "big' prize fights. That is cheer ing. It would be still more cheering if the 'big" prize-fighters would get so disgusted with "the blasted country" that they would leave it. If there is no hope of this, perhaps they can be in duced to come down a peg or two. Is there not room for them in our great institutions Of learning? They have shown themselves to be masters of the arts of oratory and writing. Could they not be induced to accept profess sorships which would include some teaching of these arts with much teach ing of the manly art of self-defense and such other manly arts as they can teach? Of course they would lose in glory by accepting such places, but they could do a great deal of good, and we have often read that when dis tinguished prize-fghters are not fight ing they take as much delight in doing good as the enterprising burglar takes in gentle recreation when he's mot burgling.' The delights of actual prize fighting are growing rarer and more dangerous. Our big prize-fghters may well ask themselves if they cannot afford to use their great talents and ac- complishments more unselfshly, if less gloriously. If they were properly placed they could do much for athletics, ora tory and literature.
