PhiI0sophic Nuggets .

Whether one has or has not read
certain authors, it rarely occurs to
the average reader to mark and
copy out passages of striking import
for later reference.
The Carlyle extracts are from his
''Sartor Resartus'' and "Heroes
and Hero Worship Ruskin's the
"Crown of Wild Olives "Queen of
the Air" and "The Two Paths;'
Kingsley's the "Hypatia, v "Alton
Locke" "Yeast" and "Westward
Ho!' and Amiel's, from the two vol
umes of the Journal Intime. 1t is a
singularly attractive collection of
golden sayings-rich nuggets in
deed, from inexhaustible mines;
and each series is so deity selected
as to give not only the separate
thoughts, each in itself worth re-
reading andreconsidering, but also
a general impression of the phlloso-
ply of the book it comes from.

JEFFRIES WILL
FIGHT CORBETT.
Unless the Latter Attempts
to Impose UnreasOn-
able Conditions.

James ]. Corbett and James J.
Jeffries in all probability will be
matched to-day to battle for the
worlds heavyweight champion
ship within six months.
The fighters and their managers
will meet this afternoon to talk over
details, and if satisfactory condi-
tons can be arranged articles for a
match will be signed Immediately.
Both men claim to be anxious to
meet the other in the ring, and if
they are sincere in their preten-
sions there should be no trouble in
coming to terms. 49,.
Corbett has $1,000 posted as
forfeit, which he is willing to place
as side wager when the match is
arranged.
Brady has agreed to cover this
money under any considerationthat
Corbett wants.
If the match is arranged it will
probably take place next Summer,
before the Coney Island Sporting
Club.
It is understood that the club by
the sea will make,an effort to secure
the bout, and as Brady is inter-
ested in that organization it will no
doubt secure the preference.
The contest will be a limited
round affair.
Corbett said last night that there
would be no hitch at to-day's meet
ing.
"Jeffries has agreed to give me
the first match. said Corbett. "and
his manager Mr.. Brady, has an
nounced that he would meet me to-
morrow, ready to do business. /
will be on hand, and will make
every effort to clinch the match.
81 have posted $1,000 as guar
antee of nv sincerity. and all Jeff
ries has to do to show that he
means business is to cover nv
money. This money Twill let stand
as side wager. if Jeffries will ac-
cent it. and / will have $1,000 more
to bet later at the prevailing odds. "
Champion Jetfries said last NIGHT
that he was ready to meet Corbett,
and would abide bv any action
taken bv manager Brady.
Mr.. Brady said Yesterday that
he would cover Corbett's money to-
dav If there were no unreasonable
conditions imposed.
The proposed match between
Peter Maher and "Kid" Mccoy has
finally been clinched.
The men met last nirht at Mana
ger Brady s Office in the Manhatt an
Theatre building. and. after talk
in" over the conditions of the fight,
affixed their signatures to the ar
tic1es of agreement offered by Mr.:
Brady.
The contest will be limited to
TWENTY-FIVE rounds, and the date
agreed upon by the principals is
December II.
The Conev Island Athletic Club
has secured the bout. Meow and
Maher will battle for a 100000
purse. This is $4,000 less than
the purse fought for by Jefferies
and Sharkey in their championship
fight.

IT 10 reported in the dispatches
from South Africa that General Jou-
bert Of the Boer army has been
killed. The General was an Amer
lean by birth, education and citi-
zenship. He was born at Union
town, Pa. sixty-eight years ago.
and when the war of the Rebellion
broke out he enlisted in the Navy
4 and did service under Admiral Du-
P0nt. General Joubert is a de.
scendant OF Pierre Joubert, a ma.
tive OF Motto d'Aignes, in Province
and Suzanne Reyne. de Ia Rogue,
married February LIST, 1858, as the
registry of the Walloon community
in Brill, in Holland shows. They
sailed from Marseilles in the ship
Mt. Sinai, as pilgrims to the Cape
of Good Hope. where the Dutch
East India Company was founding
a colony. They were Huguenots.
The name Of Joubert is distinguish
ed in the annals of France. 1t was
fitting that man who won back
independence tor the Beers should
lead them in their last fight for that
which they prize so dearly. Joubert
had no idea but that IN this war
with England, the Beers would be
crushed by greater numbers in the
end and the Transvaal would pass
into English supremacy.
The SMYRNA Times says that
when DR.. II. c. Moore went to reg
lister at the last election, he was
challenged by Mr.. William 7. Cav
ender, the ground OF the challenge
being that he had furnished voters
the registration fee. DR.. Moore
took the oath in reference to bribery
enacted by the last Constitution al
Convention and his name was re-
corded on the registration list.
Those who know DR.. Moore do not
believe he would commit perjury for
the sake Of voting. This was one
reason why the evidence against
him at his recent trial in Kent
county, tell through. The Court
did not believe the State had sufii-
cient evidence to convict and for
that reason the bribery case was
dropped. But the States Attor-
ney says he intends to indct these
men at the next term of court, be-
cause che believes them guilty.
If he does not make out better than
when he first indicted them, he will
have his work for his pains.
