Several days ago I hi occa. sion to go to the Land Offide on a little business mission, and while | waiting to see ‘my man,” noticed several female clerks in a corner of the room in an animated discussion. At first I thought it meant a whole- sale dismissal, and so I listened to catch the names of the untorto- nates. When the one talking the loudest said : “I think it is a shame to make us work under him. I don’t see what the President was thinking of when he appointed him here. I shan’t go, that’s all there is toit. Ill go and see the Com- missioner.” Hello, hello! I said to myself, what’s up? Just then the Chief Clerk or some big gun stepped up to the little kicker and said, “You will have to go Miss ——,” (calling her name) ; “That is the order.” You never saw such a change in a woman in your life. A moment before she was flushed and highly indignant, now all | smiles as she answered, “All right | Mr.—,” and began getting her | things together as two stalwart laborers picked up her desk and lett theroom. I forgot my mission to follow the desk. It was takeu into Recorder Townsend’s room, and a few moments later the little kicker eutered with an armful of papers, and in the blandest man- ner and sweetest of smiles sata, “Where shall I put my desk, Mr. Townsend?” Ina very gentleman ly and polite manner he told her where she was to be located. | To say that I was surprised, | scarcely expresses my feelings. | eare largely indebted aroused 10 this literature and Mr. Schuyler el to American and ves and reviews and { “Tarkestan Notes Russian Turkestan, ara and Kuldja,” “and “American was married in ss Gertrude (her was sometime 1 Columbia College. ier’s nomination for Secretaryship was owing tO Opposition in ite, about which body he some remarks in one of instead of he has been sul General to Egypt. » Russian customs, es i SAW AND HEARD. women wear next? ug along F street the MM) Curiosity was excit- sa lady, wearing for a e dog collar, It was vrass bails with very the centre was an Silver plate for tie er and number of li- I hardly think any 1 to steal her. x y dandy,” said a big nan to several men in Yrinting Office the How's that?” asked Well, you see,” said ed man; “when he Publie Printer, those oWs On the outside, ould turn out all the ud pat them in, but “I don’t see how * out,” said bis friend; ‘ back all the eld fore- ' you believe it,” said ed man; “a few of ‘ck, bat we boys still sold on, and Pil bet the © crowd, that outside ‘men places, our boys ‘t paving jobs.

The “Col.” seemed to be a little wrathy over what he considered the very foolish conduct of certain gentlemen, who saw fit to indorse a gentleman, not of our race, for Recorder of Deeds. He thought that if any should be further in- dorsed it should be himself or one of the other colored candidates. I wonder if all of his indorsers are colored? He evidently did not think at the time he was airing his views, that be was exhibiting a little of that very prejudice him- self, that he and others, who think as he does, complain of in the Anglo-Saxon. | am _ pleased to know that there are colored men here, as well as elsewhere, who are broad minded enough to assist a white man toa place, when asked to do so.

Sullivan} and Kilrain have met to decide the fistic supremacy, and Sallivan has been bailed the winner. It was easily desernible that Sullivan was the popular favorite, aye he is | undoubtedly our country’s pugi-| listic idul. Kilrains pugilistie star | bas been absolutely overshadowed | by the brighter constellation of the | Boston boy. Kilrain though gain- | ing first blood, and first fall was never a possible winner. He was | clearly, tairly, outgeneraled, out- | | | | fought and outslugged. He was severely punished and fought ee against absolutely sneaemOutabie| obstacles, but like Barkis “he was willing” and fought all in all a very creditable battle. The civi- lized world knows the fight down to the minutest detail, and it is} superfluous to descant upon it} here, Sullivan has fairly won the | championship as far as his battle | with Kilrain could decide it, but | is he even now the real champion? | It be adheres to the oft repeated | assertion that this would be his} last battle his retirement would bring forward new aspirants for the title. Ifon the contrary John L’s success in his ‘‘mill” with Kil-| rain has inspired him with renewed | confidence in himself if he is still) loth to relinquish his status in the | pugilistic world, there is one thing | he must do to convince the fair-| minded public that he is, indeed | champion. He .must overshadow | the Black Star of the West that 1s | rapidly rising to an immense alti- | tude in the pugilistic firmament or! be overshadowed by it. He must | convince the public beyond the) peradventure of a doubt that he is | the bright particular star of the} world he moves. Of course there | are those of his friends who believe | him invincible, unapproachable, | unbeatable, and there are others | like myself who would rather wait to see him “size up” with a man who is his equal in every respect, a man whom I feel free to assert will offer no unmanly excuses if he is beaten, Such a man, in my opinion, is Peter Jackson. Sullivan has on different occasions sent men who had the temerity to challenge him to look for a reputation before they could ever expect to be no- ticed by him. He could hardly expect to spring that “chesnut” on Jackson. io looking over the records of | the, two men, Jackson’s does not suffer by the comparison. The man from whom Sullivan won the} championship (Ryan) was beaten } by Joe McAuliffe, who was easily beaten in turn by Peter Jackson. It was some time afterward, it is true, but it took only three rounds, in a subsequent battie it took Sul livan the same number of rounds to do the ‘told man.” Jacksou beat Cardiff bands down in ten rounds, the best Sullivan could get in a ten round ‘‘go” with the same} man wasadraw. Ove might say an accident prevented Suliivar trom winning. The reports of the | fight agree that it was give wu take | all the way through, and the ret- eree would have to be stocked with partiality to Sullivan, if be gave a decision other than a draw. To sum up the records of the two men I feel safe in saying that Sullivan | iu defeating Ryan and Kilrain, con- quered not a whit better men than | Jackson has in McAulitfe and} Cardiff. In fact I have an opinion | a very decided one, that McAuliffe | would not come out, second best 1n a contest with Kilrain. In very | truth LU cannot see upon what} Kilraia based his pretentions to) championsbip. A most minute | nute and microscopic examination | of his acheivements would fail to disclose anything of a character one would expect of a real champ- ion. However, Sullivan bas beaten him according to the usages and} requirements of the ring, and has recovered the prestige of gone-by days. Now, what will hedo? Will} he remain the central figure in the pugilistic world by willingly de- fending his title against all comers? If he decides to retire from the arena, he will show a longer head than one gives him credit for. Be- cause in the first place there is an unlooked for aud formidable acces- sion to the pugilistic ranks and that too from an unexpected quar- ter—the Negro race. The mau to whom “Sailor Brown” insolently remarked, that -‘he couldn’t stop him in six rounds, he couldn’t hit) hard enough,” and who simply | smiled and replied “all right” is in the country and is willing to try conclusions with anybody. If Sul- livan concludes that be is still the best man alive, he must abolish | bis unbecoming prejudice and give) this show. If Sullivan declines to fight Jackson, he will inaugurate a new departure in fistic traditions (i. e.) be will choose whom he shall | fight. In the exuberance of their feelings over Sullivan’s victory the general public will probably deny that Sullivan’s saperior breathes. | But I am confident that in their calmer moments, when the glare has worn off his latest achieve- ments, the iair play loving public) and all honest sportsmen will de-_ cide that John L. ‘has one more | river to cross.” I jhaye ever beeu| | don than to fight. The other fellow | NO. 8. an admirer of Sullivan’s pugilistie prowess and was pained beyond expression to hear of his issuing the unmanly edict—“I will never fight a nigger.” Can John Sulli- van claim to be better than the good old English champions? Is the white pugilist of to-day better | than those who lived and fought at | the commencement of the present century? I think uot. Molyneux, the American Negro fought on Al- bion’s shores with the then champ. | ion of England. Bob Travers contended with Mace on two dif- ferent occasions for ‘fistic snprem- acy. In fact in all England in all | time no man was refused a fight | because of his color. Will Salli-} van’s most ardent admirers claim that he is any better than those people, hardly, viewed from any | standpoint? Happily, the rules provide no loop hole ef escape for would-be champions on the score of the color of a man’s skin, and Sullivan will find uimself sac variance with the time jonored customs of the ring in the stand} he has taken. Peter Jackson is up to champion- | ship torm, he is, according to the opivion of that talented writer on pugilism, Capt. Cook, the premier of the boxing world.
