The Religious Editor Takes & Whack at a Prize-Fight, “‘Look here!” exclaimed the managing editor of the Brooklyn Engle, his hair ris- ing on end, ‘‘did you write this account of the prize-fight?’ ; “You're vight I did!” replied the relig- ious editor. ‘I wanted to go,and the city editor said if I would get up an account of it he would give me a ticket. What's the matter with it?” & “‘Listen to this!” groaned the managing editor, reading from the copy: A “‘Quito a congregation of worshipers assembled yesterday to participate in the fistic_exorcises between Mesars. Sheriff and Mitchell. Mr. Harry Hill presided with marked solemuity, and from the arrival on the ground of tho belligerents to the going down thereof, themultitude was seized with a fervor of ‘enthusinsm seldom seen outside of the camp-meeting he n08ts.”” o tt-\:'lrn kind of a way is that to describe a fight?” ; ‘E‘Uctter hire « man another time!” growled the reiigious editor. ‘‘But you haven't got 0 the fight yet. - Read on, and you'¥ find that I was there.” +] gappose this is what you mean by the fight,” grinned the mmnfimg editor. ***First—And now, when the men were placed in the temple, o, him whith they | P called Sheriff'arose in his wrath and smote him that they termed Mitchell on the nose, even the bridge thereof, so that he bled sore and was staggered thercby. And the multitnde shouted apace, And it ame to pass, in loss than a minute, th.nt ?\e that was known as Mitchell speedily recovered and smote back, much as Moses smote the rock, and Sheriff was hit grievously on the mouth so that he fell and waited until they that were his friends raised him up and comforted him,” +Was this a prayer-mecting?” inquired ¢he managing editor. “‘Were you there!” demanded the religious editor, in some heat. *‘If you werc, you can fix it to suit yourself, but I'm telling you that's the way it hap- pened.”’ “What's thisnext parag sneered tho managing editor. ¢ ¢Second— Then it was revealed, when the men stood up again, that Sheriff had been evilly treated, so much so that there wae alump on his visage, while Mitchell wore the smile of the man that prevaileth against his foe. And the multitude made a great clamor, some saying after the manner of Matt. XXIV., 13, and others beseeching that they do go in and slug their adversary. Whereupon they wrench- ed and tossed each the other, even like unto him that slew the lion in the pit on a snowy day, bending each the other with great blows and loud sounds and much dust.” “‘Perhaps hall about?” you left something out of this round,” suggested the managing editor, sardonically, *“Wouldn’t this be a good place to insert the penta- teuch?” “Put in anything you like,” replied the religious editor, with an air of indif- ference. *‘But if you think the revised venion of that prize-fight is going to convey an intelligent idea of what hap- llx_flf tothe religious masses, you're much off. “Does this run all the way through by samplel” isked the managing editor, turning over the pages, **What's this all about?” ““‘Five—Now, D..Fu plain that Sheriff had been wounded'sore, and Mitchell, notwithstanding the which, clove him gain and again with his hand, both upon the head and the body, ‘whereat Sheriff remonstrated with his clenghed fist, so that Mitchell fain stopped looked after himself a littlo. An it was unto the end, when Harry HiN bade them go and punch no more, declarig, all bo's off, even unto the stakes, in his great haste making no disposition of the ropes!’ *That'sintelligent, isn't it?”’ commented the mauaging editor.” *‘I understand it,” replied the religious editor, simply. ‘It is all plain enough to me, und will be to the people I know hest. You publish it, andyou'll see a flock of clergymen a mile bng around this oftice after papers to serd to their friends.” : *Very likely," returned the managing editor, dryly, tearing up thy manu script. “'I guess you'd better stick to your own line of journalism, andlet the sporting editor look after the fighte Lere- after.” ““That’s all right,” growled the ieligi s editor, “But, I say, I had a hard - | the enti it's no more than fair for you to set 'em up.” Nay, nay; not so,” smiled the manag- ing editc “Go to, for know that Colosa 11, forbiddeth it in thee. Go look it up, and the next time you start out to do a prize-fight yon get a boy to go along ki show you how it ought to be done.” And the religious editor hied him out, not even smirked till well out of reach, and then he sold an accurate account to another paper fof shekels, wherowith ho purchased forgetfulness for his sins and made merry after the manner of his kind.

Whilo there a wealthy mor- chant, whose love of a good woed is well known among his friends came in and asked: *‘Is it possible for mo to got a genuino Havana cigar!” “Yos, sir,” answored the proprictor briefly, courteously and positively. “Let me have one,” said the mor- chant. The cigar dealer went to his safe, pro- duced a tin_box, opened it, and took therefrom a largosized cigar neatly incased in tin-foil., 1 think you will find that a good one,” he said, as he handed it to the merchant, The smoker took the cigar, lighted it, and asked: *‘How much?" *'One dollar,” said the cigar dealor, blandly, but without smiling. The merchant frowned. *‘Isn't protty high for a cigar!” he asked. ‘It is & good deal of money to pay for a single smoke,” said the cigar-dealor, ‘“‘but it is net a high price for that eigar in the sense that you use the term By ‘high’ you mean excessivo; and I assuro you that T can sell you two cigars for 26 cents, and make as much profit on them as 1 shall make on selling you the cigar you are now smoking for €1. - nd thoy will be genuine Havanas, too." h! ““1 wish you would explain that to me," said tho merchant, laying down a trade dollar, which the cigar dealer disdained to touch, but instead squared himself off for a speech which he intended to prove a “clincher.” “I've said this thing a great many times before,” he bagan, “‘but I'll say it again, and say it slow; then yow'll be suro to take it all in, In the first place, there is no pleasure in retailing Havana cigars; you don't really make any profit on them; your customer won't believe the cigars you sell him for Havanas are genu- ine, and in most cases his tastes has bo- come so depraved that he can't appreci- that ate the genuine article even if ho gets 1t. Again, there are very few—how fow I could scarcely make you beliove— genuine Havana cigars imported into this country. They are in demand all over the world, and the demand is many times in oxcess of the supply. Besides, the sery name of Havana is & misnomer I have smoked cigars made of native Connecticut tobacco that were better than some cigars imported direct from Cuba. The real Havana leaf has a very delicate fiber. Its veins are not straight, a8 in most tobacco, but are zig-zag. The more they zig-zag the better the tobacco Under the name Havana, a tobacco which grows only in the Vuelto Absjo district, near the city of Havana, thoy urchase all kinds of tobucco which grow in Cuba and the Cubans themselves will tell you that some of it is the worst in tho world. Yara, which is a fine grado of Cuban tobacco, if used when fresh, is largely worked up as Havana, but not to 8o great an extent as that grown in Vuelto Arriba. Some of the nst named has really a fine flavor and tasto, but the loaf is much coarser than the Havana leaf, and much of it is coarse in flavor as inappearance, Yot whatever flavor it has is generally superior to that grown in the United States, and gives o tone to the Connecticut seed tobacco, with which it is usually mixed to make the ordinary seed and {In\'flnn cigar. We use, in the United States, a great deal of tobacco from Sumatra, Jamaica, and Mexico, but the bulk of the so-called Havana tobacco comes from the Vuelto Arriba, The real Havana, that from Vuelto Abajo, is almost entirely absorbed by Cuban manufacturers, the product of the best plantations being mortgaged for years in advance, as was once the case with many cotton plantations in the southorn states. You may be sure that very little of this tobacco ever gets into Northern markets. A com mon error among wealthy smokers is to supposo that becauso they buy an im ported cigar they must got agood one. Many of the brands of imported goods, which have had their run hore, such as the Figaro, Espanola, Partaga, never wero a fino grads of goods as compared with other Cuban cigars,and many of the imitations made here and sold by millions a8 gonuine are actually better ~ than the original. Some excellent brands of cigars areimported here from Cuba, but in very small quantities, the bulk of the best goods being sent to Europe. I could give you further pointers about the cigar trade, but I don't know that I could say any more about Havanas, Oh, yes! We don’t get our cigars by way of New York, A4 many persons suppose, but by way of New Orleans, and Chicago receives and smokes more fine cigars than New York does. There are quantities of smuggled cigars received in New Orleans every year, and many of them find their way to this city. Of course our house does not handlo them, but. we know they are hand- led in the city.” The merchant pioked up his trade dol- lar, which had been lying neglocted on the show-case. Ho pulled out a $10 greenback and said: “Can you givemea dozen of these cigars for §107" *Couldn't do it, possibly.” “‘Will you trust me for $2/" ““With pleasure.” The merchant laid down his $10 note, took eleven cigar, and walked out of the store, C —— Of Matchless Merit, For the rose aud throat, externally or inter- nally wsed, Z%omas' + clectric Oil is atchloss, Asthma, Catarrh ,and serious throat affections are quickly amenable to thix efficicnt remedy, —— Uncle Rufus Hatch has come out strongly in dofense of the cowboys.
