A man ie-very like a wagon, anyhow, for his shoulders and hips are the axle-trees and his arms and legs are the wheels aind the wagon body is his body and the coupling pole is his spine and the hiMtnds are- his kidneys-his reins as the Scriptures call em-and they brace up everything and hold up the tongue and the coupling pole,, and if the hounds are weak and rickety the hind wheels don't track with the fore wheels, and the whole concern moves along with a hitch and a jerk and a double wabble. *LTe L tryeta the reins of the childrcu of men/ 1 for that was the test of a man.

The inhabitants of a frontier town in : Wyoming recently elevated to the posi I don of Justice of Peace their worth v j fellow citizen, Joues Burton, and the i squire has just been called upon to per j form, for the first time, thc marriage j service.

When the adventurous couple j had stationed themselves before him the j squire began : 'Feller-citizens, this yar i man an' this yar woman have appeared j before the Court to be hitched in the i legal bouds of wedlock.

Sullivan, thc Champion Pugilist, Loses $1000, on a tittle Englishman who could Not be Knocked Out in Eour Rounds. [From the 2?. Y, Sun of July ISth.] No recent sporting event has oc? casioned such widespread excitement, in the Eastern States especially, as last night's glove fight bctweeu John L. Sullivan and Tug Wilson, more properly but less widely known as Joseph Col? lins. Sullivan had declared himself thc great - knocker-out of men, and had, made good his '.laini by the severe.pun- j isbment of t!*osc who were venturesome j enough to ascept his invitation to stand j up with li-iii for four rounds : and he was the American pugilistic champion, entitled to wear whatever laurels that distinction confers. Tug Wilson on the other hand, was known iu England as the great un-knocked-out. reputed the best man, from a pugilistic point of; view, in England to-day, and was spe- j cially brought here, by the backer of the j pugilist who was lately defeated by Sui- ? livan in the prize ring at New Orleans, ! to whip Mr. Sullivan. To Wilson's challenge Sullivan re? turned the somewhat contemptuous re? ply of a requirement that, before he would waste his time on an encounter in tue prize ring, Wilson would have to prove himself worthy of it by standing up before bim for four rounds, with soft gloves,.and being ready to answer the cali cf 'time' for a fifth round. Such au agreement Wilson assented to. Ac? cording to its terms the two men were to meet last evening in Madison Square Garden and fight with soft gloves. If Sullivan should fail to knock out Wil? son in four rounds, then the latter should receive from him gi,OOO and one-half the money taken at the'door for admis? sions ; but if Wilson should be knocked out, then he was to receive nothing but contusions and the shame of defeat. Thc contest was to be governed by the Marquis of Queensberry's rules, the salient points of which are : Three minute rounds, with one minute rest between ; a koocked-down man to pick himself up uuaided within tea seconds, and go on with the fighting until the three minutes of the round have ex? pired ; an order to break from a rally and clinch to be obeyed on pain of losing the fight; no wrestling to be per- j ia it ted. The men went into training for the event, just as though they were about to engage in a real prize fight In the hotels, cu the streets, in of?ces, on 'Change, the names of Wilson and Sul? livan were pretty sure to gain their full ! share of conversational attention. The British contingent, almost to a man, pinned their faith to thc stout little champion from thc old country, of whom they said that he had boen a boser since he was four years old, that he was the foxiest fighter alive, and that he could take more punishment smilingly than anybody else. Another element glori? fied Sullivan, the Boston Blacksmith, pointed to his enormous muscles, his ponderous frame, and his splendid re? cord, and told of the many men who had been stunned by his sledge-hammer like blows-John Donaldson, of Ciu eiaoati, fer instance, who lay insensi? ble for an hour and thirty-five miuutes after getting in front of one of them, and that burley Blacksmith of Phila? delphia whom he 'knocked silly' in one round, and that enormous darky whom he 'knocked colder than a wedge' with one punch, and poor Elliott, with whom he toyed sq cruelly recently at the picnic. At 3 o'clock yesterday 'morning the betting was ?100 ou Sullivan to ?G0 on Wilson, in the Brunswick and Hoff? man hotel bar-rooms, with more offering than taking the odds. But later iu the day, as reports of Wilson's powers of endurance got abroad and found more credence, his valuation went up until he got to ?S0 to Sullivan's ?100, among thc heavy belters, and many compara? tively small bets were made even. The j bets were never in any case that Wilson j would knock Sullivan out. That con- j summation was deemed too widely im- ! probable for a bet at oven thc longest odds. They were simply that after ? twelve UiinuLes of hard pounding he ! would be able to stand up and come to the scratch at thc call of time. Yet, of those who saw the finish of the combat last night, there were very many who felt that it would be by no means a sure thin" if the number of rounds had been doubled, that Sullivan would not | experience thc surprising and unplca- ! saut sensations ot being knocked out j himself. Long before evening yesterday nearly j ! ail the boxes of che Madison Square j : Garden had been suid and thousands of I tickets disposed bf. Three long trains laden with men of sporting proclivities came from Philadelphia in the course of the day aud five more from Boston. One of these latter was a special train. Boston came on to make a big boom on Sullivan, and ic is believed that some who came from that city will have to stay hero, borrow or walk back. As early as half-past 6 o'clock last eveuiug great throngs of men gathered about the garden entrances on Madison and Fourth avenues. Fifteen minutes later Capt. Williams, who, with eighty men under him, was charged with keeping ! order in and around the gard eu, seeing that the throngs wer: impeding traille ! on ibo thoroughfares, ordered the doors opened. From that. motncjjt until the ; ; Garden was dc?.?ely packed iu every I part thc multitude ooured in. Loni; ! ! after it was eieaiiy in:possible fer any j j more people to get places from which j \ they could sec the fight, men insisted j on paying $1 at the Fourth avenue door j or S?- at the Madison avenue entrance I for admission. The boxes commanded j ?G premium each in addition to the j higher price.fer each occupant. There arc about 200 of them. Capt., Williams says that the Garden holds 12,000 com? fortably, and that 15/0015 can bc squeezed into it. Last night they were squeezed in most uncomfortably. In the remote corners of thc upper parts of the extreme onus of tue building meu seemed to bc packed as closely together as in the immediate vinciuity of thc platform, where they were stowed almost like sardines in a box. By half-past 7 j oViock thc building i cerned to be packed I as full as it would hold, and at 8 the j crowd was fairly wild with impatience ? and discomfort, for thc place was ?as hot i as aa oven, the atmosphere was abo nable, and at least half of those pres were standing. THE FIGHTERS IN THE RIXG. At a little after 8 o'clock the riv entered the building, and in separ rooms donned their fighting costuc Salli van, who had weighed 231 pom when he began training for this fig stripped down to 194|, and stood 5 f inches in his stocking feet, with* a blotch or blemish upon him, secmii ly a model of physical perfection. E ry movement was agile-'loose,' fighters say-yet conveyiug the idea enormous strength. Tog Wilson I trained down from 184 pounds to li and stood only 5 feet 7? inches in stockings. He is 35 years old, ni more than Sullivan, .and looks lik very compactly built, solid, bullet-bei eu mau, with sunfish hide on hard ri ber muscles. Each possessed coi dence of winning. Sullivan said : 'I'm goiug to let myself out, and as hard as I can. I've always be afaid to do so before, but I'm told hec stand it, and I'm going to let him ha it.' Wilson said : 'I can't reckon it in my 'ed 'ow I'm to be knocked out four rounds.' 'Kow will you fight hin he was asked. Tm a going to get i side of 'im and under 'im,' he repli? a promise which he faithfully carri out. At half-past 9 o'clock Wilson stepp upon the platform, followed by his i conds, Arthor Chambers and Geor Holden. He wore white drawers a pink stockings. Sullivan followed, cl in white drawers and dark green stoc ings, and was accompanied by bis ? conds, Billy Madden and Joe Go: The house fairly trembled with t storm of applause as thc two champio made their appearance, and in the e citcment that reigned thenceforth n* seemed to forget their weariness and i finite discomfort. Harry Hill appear and announced that by agreement t men had selected him as timekeeper ai referee, and would have but one secoi each. Goss and Holden left the stag Wilson crossed the ring and bet wi Madden $500 to ?700 that he wou win. The gloves with which they we to fight were examined and exchaogei Sullivan, who has exceedingly lar< hands, something like hams, had gre difficulty in. getting Wilson's gloves o Then for a few moments the men s in opposite corners of the ring, wi their brawny arms lying listlessly on tl upper ropes, and their seconds fannie them with towels. Wilson looked h and a little anxious, but with evidei curiosity at his big antagonist, and Su livan looked back at him with seemiE placid indifference, in which there w? perhaps a little affectation. It was ti first time the two men hud seen eac other. At 9.38 time was called by Han Hill, and tho two men, meeting in tb centre of ihe riug, went through th ceremonial of shaking hands. At th moment breathless silence prevailed. TUE FIGHT. Hardly had the mou dropped bane than they sprang into position, and al most before the eye could follow hi movement Wilson landed a stingin blow on Sullivan's nose. It seemed t astonish and enrage the big black smith, who rushed upon his atagonist literaliv like a mad bull, beating dow his guard auu raining blows upon hit with such velocity that they coul neither be counted nor followed. Eievei times in rapid succession, Wilsoi was knocked down in this one round hy blows that battered his head, bea upon his neck, cracked against hi shoulders, and drove the wind out o his lungs. On his tenth fall he cam> near going through the ropes to tb Seor outside*. Not a single good blov did he get in all the round, and tb* best he could do Sullivan seemed t* Liind no more than if it had been apunj pelting with snowballs. When th* round ended and Wilson was led awaj to his corner sponged and fanned, b< had a dazed, confused and almost hor rified look upon his face, as one migh 'nave who is suddenly toyed with anc then dropped by a tornado. The back? ers of Sullivan were jubilant, and tb< whole crowd, carried away beyond itsel with the wild rush of such rapid and ter? rific fightiug, shouted and yelled for mor< than half a minute continuously. Such blows hud never been seen herc before, But severe as they were Wilson, in thc brief minute of rest accorded by thc rules, recovered sufficiently to go into the next round with his souses ui? aboul him, to begin and adhere to thc cun? ning, foxy style of fighting that even? tually won him the fight. The second round opened with Sulli? van promptly felling Wilson by a ter? rific right-hander under the left car, but Wilson scrambled to his feet again -slowly, yet within the required ten seconds-only to be knocked down by other n-iscellaneously distributed blows the second, third, fourth and fifth times. The fifth time he fell heavily against the ropes and almost through them ; got up and was beaten down agaiu in his own corner by some awful slugging ; raised himself ouly in time to meet a clean left hander that knocked him down like a ninc-pin and so on three times more, until the second round end? ed, with him on his feet Again the up? roar of souud burst forth, shouts that seemed great di ..ouations rather thau human voices, and lasted as long as be? fore. 13ut the knowing ones, who watched the two meu carefully said : 'See Sullivan, how he blows; he is almost exhausted." The third round developed Wilson's tactics fully. As long as possible he would keep in on Sullivan, act?un under his guard by a rush and at the expense of a comparative? ly light blew, clinching his neck and holding on in such a position that only half-arm blows could bc delivered upon him, and even then with but little effect, while he was throwing all his weight upon Sullivan and draggiug him down. Then, when the pace got loo hot for him iu that position, he weuld drop or let himself bc knocked uown and occupy all his full ten se? conds in getting up agaiu. All this was clear gain of time in the three min? utes, and Sullivan was now so weary apparently, that his blows had scarcely anything of force, and very often lack? ed directness and were spcat upon thc air, eveu when Wilson made little 01 effort seemingly to dodge them. '( isn't he foxy V 'Just look at hi .Isn't he a daisy.' 'You bet he'll la were the approving yells of wild light from the Wilson adherents, wi the Sullivan faction howled itself hos with fierce injunctions, often accom cied by vigorous profanity, to 'Go and finish him.' You've no time lose,' &c. To those best informed was already a conspicuous fact that ti to lose was all the sort of time Salli had before him in this busiuess S he made some desperate endeavors save his fast fading laurels. Of nine times he knocked Wilson down this round, receiving no punishment return, only once did be appear to real hurt, and that was when he h the Englisnian down by a succession heavy blows, upon the back of his he apparently delivered with thc heel the hand. Once, too, Wilson \ Dearly knocked through the- rot. Yet every time Wilson's face co be seen leering over Sullivan's sho der, or as be was slowly and with p tended difliculty risi?g, he was si ling. When thc round ended b< men panted heavily. The fourth round was in all respt like the third, only that out of seven times that Wilson dropped, ; or was knocked down, Sullivan fell him three times, and of the two men big blacksmith at the latter end of round, seemed to have most difficu in rising to his feet. And when end of the round was called Wils walked jauntily to his corner, amii very temptest of cheering, while Su van lumbered slowly and wearily to corner, panting for air, like one h suffocated. One minute later 'time' was cal for the men to come to the scratch the imaginary fifth round, and Wils came up smilingly, almost airly, w ner of about ?11,700-as people v? knew pretty well the receipts figured up. Sullivan hadn't knocked him out. THE MEX AFTER THE" BATTLE. Immediately after the fight Sulliv went to his dressing-room, and was vc sick at thc stomach. Then he went the box office and sat down, holdi his head in his hands as though si sick. He felt his nose as though it v, hurt, and experienced some difficulty breathing. Wilson went to the Putman Hom was rubbed down and dressed himse He said : 'I didn't try to fight at all. I kc OD the defeusive. But when he gc me before him with bare knuckles will find a different man.' There were no marks on Wilso He went to the box office to look aft his ?1,000. He found Sullivan the vomiting. Sullivan rose and shakir hands with Wilson, said: .Tug, you're a good man. We mu have this over again.' 'Alright,' said Wilson. Afterward Sullivan said referring : his sicko, ess : 'They told me I could knock him 01 easily, and I didn't'take any care i myself.' Richard K. Fox, of the Polit Gazeile, said to Sullivan : 'I will match Wilson against an I man for ?5,000-you, yourself, prefei red. If yon think well of it, meet m j to-morrow at my office.' 'I'll be there,' replied Sullivan. After his fight with Paddy Ryan [.Sullivan made so much money by giv iug exhibitions that he accumulate ?16,000. Before this he had neve been in the habit of drinking har [ liquor. Elated with his success, it i ; said, he began to drink considerably and spend his money freely. It is estimated that the sale of tick j ets yielded between ?20,000 and 25, 000. They were counting the mone( j at the office of the Garden late las ! Dight. Harry Hill said io his theatre afte the fight : 'Gentlemen : I have to announc that in the match at the M ad :so i Square Garden to-night, Mr. Tug Wil son won the money. Mr. Sullivan' agreemeut was that if Mr. Wilso! should stand up to him for four round; b_e should have ?1,000 and half tin gate money, and Mr. Wilson did it I am the same friend to Mr. Sullivar as I ever was, but he undertook a bii thing when he tried to knock a goot man out in fifteen minutes. Mr j Wilson came up every time. It was ? big task, and there was a time when i; I had had a thousand dollars on Wil? son I would not given a dollar foi it.' J TALKING OVER TUE RESULT. After the fight Delmonico's, the Hotel Brunswick, and many resturants and barroms were crowded with those who had seen the ?natch, elucidating the peculiar science thereof to those who had not seen it. Many thought that they had hardly got the worth of their ?2 or ?3 by standing up in a sweltering mass of humanity for two hours, and, fairly held upright by sur? rounding pressure, obtaiuing indistinct glimpses of four big gloves moving vio? lently around in the air for fifteen min? utes. A stock broker of sporti?g proclivi? ties said in Delmonico's : 'Well, thc San called the turn pret? ty well this morning. I've scooped in a couple of hundred on the little fellow. Of course Tug couldn't stand up before Sullivan in a regular give and take, but I bet on Tug because I was confi? dentially told what his little game was to be.' Another broker who had bet on Tug said : There ts some growling ou tho part of those who expected to sae what was left of Tug used to wipe up thc gore of the combat, but what could you expect ? Though no chicken, he is an infant alongside the other man. Sulli? van is the hardest hitter I ever saw, and can haudle two Tugs ; but the Englishman was playing for a big stake, and his only chance to prevent being knocked out was by going down as often as possible.' The corn crop of the United States this year is estimated at 1,200,000, 000 bushels. This is not thc biggest yield, and the Southern planter who raised his food this year was wise in bis generation. "I Will Not" Instead of "I Will" in an Kn gi isl? Church, A certain dean of Chester was called upon to perform the wedding ceremoni? al of a pair of happy lovers. The posi? tion of both parties was of the highest rank, and %he guests who were bidden to the church were of the mo. t fashiona? ble and axalted. The day arrived, and with it the hour. The edifice was packed, and all was in readiness. The dean, expectant, awaited the coming of the bride, and the groom, with his best man, was in the vestry. The hour passed, and still the bride did not ar? rive. After a long delay she drove up to the church door, and with ber brides? maids swept up the large middle aisle towards tho altar. In the meantime the groom advanced to meet her, and re? ceiving her half way, escorted her to the dean. After the opening words of exhortation the dean turned to the man and asked him the usual question whether he would have tho woman for his wedded wife, &c, to which he an? swered, ?I will.' The question being in j turn asked of the woman, to the as? tonishment aud amazement of all she distinctly said looking the groom in the face, 'I will not!' The next instant she said, in a low voice, 'Mr. Dean, no one can more regret the words I have just uttered than myself, and if you will dismiss the congregation and take me I into your vestry-room I will apologize, and at the same time fully and satisfac? torily explain what may seem to be my strange conduct.' The dean, seeing that she was in earnest, in a few words dismissed the bewildered congregation and directed the bridegroom to await him. The congregation having departed, and the lady and dean being together, she said : 'I cannot tell you how badly I feel. I had loved my fiance truly and devoted? ly, and had looked forward to a life of perfect happiness and joy. This morn? ing, as you know, I was late at my marriage ceremony, but it was not through any fault of mine. I arrived as soou as I could. Instead of receiving looks of love and words of full happi? ness from my future husband, he paralyzed my beating heart by saying, when he met me half-way up the aisle, .Curse you ! if you expect to begin life this way, by keeping me waiting for yon, you will find out after you are my wife 1' My decision was instantly made.

CHERAW, July 19.-A most horrible and brutal murder was committed yes? terday on the plantation of Mr. W. A* Pegues, in this county, about eight miles from Cheraw. A negro named William Hinson, who had been residing on the place with his family, had not been getting on as smoothly with his wife as he should and had accused ber of a failure on ber parl? to keep the marriage vows. Yesterday he attacked her with an axe, but sui fled to the house of her father near by, where she was pursued by Hinson, axe in hand, which he began to use freely as soon as he reached the bouse, striking at those who interfered with him in ! his bloody work. The woman was first struck in the breast with the axe . and afterwards a fatal blow on the head, the axe burying itself in thc skull in such a manner that it is said two mea were required to pull it out. Death followed instantly, aa did also the fight of the murderer, and up to this time he has not been captur? ed. The coroner is holding an inquest over the remains to-day, and the sheriffs of this county and Anson County, ia North Carolina, with a posse of over fifty men are securing the woods in alf directions for the murderer. Lynching in Kershaw. CAMDEN, July 16.-On last Wednes? day night an attempt was made to com? mit a rape in the Northern part of Ker? shaw County.

While being conveyed to Cam? den, in charge of twu deputies, and when about five and a half - miles from Camden, a party of masked men emerg? ed from the woods and took the prison? er from the custody of the constables. Up to a late hour to-day I had not been able to learn further particulars. I understand to-night however, that the body of the prisoner was found to-day hanging from a tree several miles taken from custody. The prisoner ac abovc the place where the prisoner was' knowledgcd that he was guilty of the crime charged against him, and fur? ther stated that this was not the first' case of thc kind in which he had been i-ngaged. There is no excitement man? ifested here concerning the matter, and verv little interest is displayed by the people in the section where the trage? dy occured. A Curious Operation. About six years ago a colored girl,, who now lives with Judge S. J. Douthit, fell to the ground quite heavily, having her month open ran something into it, which she probably thought at thc time did not remain. Recently an abscess has formed in ber throat, which she could net account for, and Dr. John H. Maxwell was called upon to s examine it. After he bad investigated the case he came to the conclusion that some foreign substance was present and determined to operate upon the.girl and remove it. He performed the operation yesterday rooming and to the surprise of every one extracted a peice of cotton stalk about two inches in length. It was almost completely imbedded in the flesh, one end of it being bent at an angle of about forty-five degrees. This is one of the most remarkable cases which has been recorded in this section for many years.-Greenville News, July 15. Keeping His Hand in on Bulls. Henry Senior, coal-dealer, and William Berry, butcher, were prose? cuted at the Huddersfield Petty Ses? sions, at the instance of the Royal Society for thc Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, under thc following cir? cumstances: Senior some, years ago was an operative slaughterer of cattle' but during recent years has had no practice. Berry laid a wager with Senior to the effect that thc latter could not fell a bull by any oue.or all' of four blows witH a pole-axe. Senior set himself at once to practice on the' head of a living bull about to be killed in a private slaughter-bouse, and failed to stun the animal. Another slaughterer took the poie-axe and suc? ceeded iii felling it with one blow. The four blows inflicted by Senior caused the bull much pain, the skin and flesh of its forehead being swelled to a great thickness thereby. The bench regarded this conduct as need? less, reckless aud cruel, and fined- the defendant. "Yankee"--Its Origin. Philadelphia Press. There is a familiar poem, reciting' the tragic fate of a grasshopper at? tacked by a turkey, which rans thus t "A grashopper sat on a sweet-potato vine, Sweet potato Tine, sweet-potato Tine, A big wild turkey came running up behind And yanked the poor grasshopper Off the sweet-potato vine, sweet-potato' Tine." This little classic is quoted by Pro? fessor Skeat, in his great Etymological Dictionary, to illustrate the derivation of the word Yankee. This be traces to' the verb 'to yank,' i. e., to jerk; Yan? kee, therefore, meaning quick-moving, and hence spry, smart, active. The same verb in Dutch and German isr -jagen/" -Mister,' began a small boy, as bo' entered a Woodward avenue grocery yesterday, 'ma bought some mackerel here last night.' "Yes."
