of Eagland,who has since !

HIS VICTORIES IN THE RING.

“| don’t know who putitinto my heed to take to boxing,” suid the old gentleman to an interviewer recently: *I don’t recollect that anyone in parti- eular did—I took to it naturally, think. Even when [ was quite a boy, I'd walk miles to a public bouse where there was any sparring going on, slip in some how and see it, You see, from quite a young ’un, | had an eye for the science of it, and what I saw worth noticing, | treasured up. It was that that got over ‘em. I could do as I liked with a stroog growo min when [ was quite a lad, as you may guess by my being matched to fight George Robinson for £20 a side when I wanted seven months of being sixteen years old. First aod last I was engaged in twenty figbts,and was never beaten but twice—once byJosh Hudson and «nce by Peter Crawley. It was altogether an accident that I lost that fight with Peier. I had him as good as settled, and 1 said to my second, “I'll finish him next roand,” I meant knock- ing him outof time with my left; but I must overdo it and try. to give him my vight as well, and in doing so I napped a swinging blow on the lefitemple. He might have hit me fair on the head wi'h a hammer,and I couldn’t have been much hur’ at that time,butthe rap on the temple did it forme. I scrambled through a dozen roundsor more after that, but T never had my senses proper- ly all the time, and at last I had to give in, That was through wanting to be too clever, and it served as a useful lesson to me ever afterward. I stuck to the coal whipping all the time I was fighting—off and ov I mean—and when I’d spent the money I won. Did I fight Tom Cannon for £1,000 of my own money? Bless your heart, no; I didn’t have tuppence ha’penny, ia a nanoer 0’ speaking. The money was found, and to my kaowledge those who tound it won £10,000 by the bets they made. £2,000 was my share. It wasn’t much considering, but taking it as a time job it wasn’t so bad—£10 a minute. I never fought a public battle after I beat Simon Burne in 1831. I was good for it, bat I couldn’t get matched. Sol turned my attention to thesporting public house line of business, and after 40 years of it you see where it has landed me.”’

PAINTER AND MUSICIAN. Fate had -at length “landed” this

anci*ot man of many trades—river dredes, coa! whipper, prize fighter,and after that forty years a publican—in an artist’s studio. Oil paintings and water color drawings used to adorn the walls of his snug asylum refuge. There was one Of the “‘old masters’ ~at all events a copy of one—which, for lack of space, was standing iu the fender and peeping up the chimney, while on the sideboard and stacked four deep on the seat of a chair, where framed water color pic- tures, al! the result of the gentle handl- ing of the brush by the fist that had enabled him to achieve eighteen pugilists victories in leas than twenty minutes each. He attained quite a reputation us an artist, and once he had an exhibition of his pictures. His productions are very creditable works of art. They are chiefly landscapes, and he was good at bits of vater and boats, and was curiously clever in his blending of colors. He was a self-taught genius, and besides being 4 painter could play three or four dif- ferent musical instruments,

The Last Letter in the Alphabet.

“A dislike of what seemed to be a growing evil, one which has greatly in- creased within the past twenty years, the misnomer of the last letter of the English alphabet, by which it ia called <ee instead of zed, led me to investigate so far as the material was accessible to me into the origin of this usage,” said Mr. Henry Phi ips ata recent mecting ot American Philosophical Society of Philadelphie. The dictionaries consult- ed number 47 and range from the year 1596 to the present time and present he following resulis:—The name of the ‘elters is given as ced in 24 and as cee
