Httsdlaitmts. j. Bold. Challenge. following good “hit” at the prizefighting now in fashion with many who ought to knpw better, is going the rounds: The “fancy” are just now hob-nobbing and speculating as to the coming prize-fight between thi departed relict of Mrs. Ada Isaacsj Menken and the stout Tom Sayers, of England, who are to have a bout presently for ;the championship of the senior and junior j Anglo-Saxon countries. We are not awarejthat anybody in particular h s given Mr. Heenan a commission to bruise the Englishman for the benefit and glory of the American Eagle, and are by no means certain that, if he should Succeed in putting him in as battered a condition as Polyphemus with hjs evicerated eye, he would be permits ted to fetain that evidence of his superior bruisirjg. , For iwhyl We see in the New York Herald a challenge by an American sailor, who subscribes himself Wm. Lowndes Holly, to the successful contestant in the approaching mill. He pledges himself to give him a sounjl thrashing on the following liberal terms: I t j PROPOSITIONS. 1. sjl,ooo that I will whip the winner. 2. sfl,ooo that I will whip him before the first rojind. 3. $4,000 that I will whip him on the first round, i These bets to be taken together; or: 1. $6,000 that I will whip Heenan and Sayersjboth. 2. $5,000 that I will whip them before the tenjth round. 3. $5,000 that I will whip them on the first roijind. These bets to be taken together, and my antagonists to meet me alternately—*. e. on alternate rounds. Or: $25,400 that, Sayers and Heenan coming at me one and the same time, I will flax them in forty ■.seconds by the watch. The fight must come off at some convenient place in the United States; visitors to be adipittcjd at five dollars a head. Children, Ministers of the Gospel, the President of the United the members of the Cabinet, and Judges of the Supreme Court, together with su£h high English officials as may attend, atfhalf price. Editors giving this challenge ohe insertion in their editorial column, admitted free. If I whip, the entire proceeds, together with Winnings, to be appropriated £o the completion of the Washington Monument, and the last payment of the Mount Vernon Fund debt. If Ido not whip, the entire proceeds, together with the winnings, tjo go to the English Government as a security fund against “French invasion.” After tlje affair, I propose to eat Sayers.

Bumble Bee Cotton.

Townsend £L.Glover, of the Patent Office at Washington, who is travelling through the Soujth to examine into tht disease of the cotton plant, was recently enlightened in regard tp a new species of cotton, in a manner thui described by the Memphis correspondent of the New Orleans Picayunes He was traveling a few days ago from Holy Springs on the cars, when they passed throughia section of country where the land was entirely sterile, the cotton being only a few inches high. An overseer was setting on the sjeat before him. “Why, what do you call this!” asked G lover. 1 “Why, that’s cotton.” "Cotton,” he asked again, in surprise. "Ves,|a new kind of cotton sent out by the Patent Office.” This jtvas a matter of interest to Glover, •; so he opiened his eyes wider. “What ia the name of] the cotton!” “The •bumble bee cotton,” quickly remarked his comjpanion. “Why that name!” “Because it grows so small a bumble bee kin sat 4n his tail and suck all the blossomes without moving.” All hands broke into a loud laugh, and Glovor nr know ledged himself sold

Hints and Home Thoughts.

The following axioms are worth attentive perusal. Self-reliance is the main spring of thrift and enterprise. Instead of waiting, as Micawber did, for “something to turnup,” exert your own energies, and turn up something yourself. If our self-denial cost us nothing, it would teach us little. A caustic writer says, “The power of sulf-delusion is Heaven’s blessing to fools.” It needs a long head to control a long tongue. If you pride yourself on saying what you like, you will often be mortified by hearing what you don’t like. How many thoughts we waste, how much care and anxiety we expend, in forming plans and emergencies that never occur! Never be “behind time.” I have noticed, said Napoleon, that it is the quarters of hours that decide battles. It is better to buy good counsel cheap than repentance dear. People may tell you of your being unfit for some peculiar occupation in life; but heed them not; whatever honest employment you follow with perseverence and assiduty will be found fit for you, and will be your support in youth, and comfort in age. “A good word is an easy obligation; but hot to speak ill, requires only our silence, which costs us nothing.” In the wirldly struggle, passive endurance is no less useful than active energy. No bad quality or vice carries its appropriate punishnent along with it more surely than heartlessness.— Atheceum.

Be Gentlemen at Home.

There are few families we imagine, anywhere, in which love is not abused as furnishing licence for impoliteness. A husband, father, or brother, will speak harsh words to those he loves best, simply because the love and family pride keeps him from getting his head broken. It is a shame that a man will speak more impolitely at times, to his wife or sister than he would to any other female, except a low and vicious one. It i 3 thus that the honest affections of a man’s nature proves a weaker protection to woman in the family circle, than the restraints of society, and that a woman is usually indebted for the kindest politeness of life, to those- not belonging to her own household. Things ought not so to be. The man who, because it will not be resented, inflicts his spleen and bad temper upon those of his hearthstone is a small coward and a very mean man. Kind words are circulating mediums between true gentlemen and ladies at home, and no palish exhibited in society can atone for the harsh language and disrespectful treatment too often indulged in between those bound together by God’s own ties of blood,-and the still more sacred bonds of conjugal love.

Bound them over to Play Whist.

There is a judge down in one of the Southeas’ern counties of the Reserve who is very fond of his little joke and his game of whist. A few weeks since, he was hearing a case of some importance, in which several witnesses were summoned, and among them one or two of them notoriously good story-tellers, y,’ho also knew something about “honors”and “odd tricks.” Their fame had reached the ear 3 of the judge, but as yet he had had no opportunity of having a test of their quality, although eager to do so. The court was about taking its usual recess at noon, and in the afternoon the witnesses in question expected to testify and return home by the evening train. To their astonishment the judge rose and gravely said: “The case on trial will not be heard this afternoon. The witnesses are bound over until to-morrow, and are this afternoon requested to meet at my house to play whist and tell stories. Mr. Sheriff, until to-morrow.”-^ Cleveland Herald.
