Training for Prize Fifth*.'
A Cincinnati journal gives the fol
lowing account of the manner in which
a man is trained for a prize fight :
MeCoole is now in training for his
fighi with Allen. He sleeps on a good
mattress, with plenty of warm cover
ing, rises promptly at five o’clock in
the morning, rain or shine, and imme
diately proceeds to a shed in the rear
of the lot, about ten by twelve, where
he exercises with the dumb bell, a sus
pended sandbag weighing about four
hundred pounds,cannon balls, and two
heavy bags attached .to cords running
over a puily. This exercise is con
tinued for about half an hour, and is
done to develop the muscle of the arm,
the flesh on which now feels like buck
skin stretched over marble. After this
he wraps himself up as warm as pos
sible and- mu files up Ids face so as to
be hardly discernable, for ihe purpose
of producing profuse perspiration, and
starts out fur Ids four mile \Y*alk:—two
in and two out. Returning he under
goes a salt-water bath and a pretty se
vere scrubbing process; sufficiently
rough, indeed, to take the skin off al
most any other man but him. After
the bath he dresses warmly again aud
rests awhile, ar.d then breakfasts mod
erately on beef or mutton, with trim
mings—the meat, of course, always
rare. His diet is substantial, and va
ries but little from that of a laboring
man, although, probably he does not
eat as much. After breakfast comes
a rest of an hour or so, until 1 o’clock,
when he dons his walking shoes, each
weighing about five pounds, and, ac
companied by one or both of his train
ers, and well muffled up, he starts out
on a walk of from thirteen to sixteen
miles, and as a walkist he is a decided
success. A day or so ago, when the
Natural Bridge road, and indeed all
roads about the suburbs of the oily,
| were in a muddy slippery condition,
; he walked fourteen miles in one hour
and fifty minutes, loaded down as he
was with the heaviest clothing, and
said he felt so little fatigued that he
could have repeated it in the same
lime. His powers of endurance are
astonishing. On lls return from the
walk he enjoys a f^iort rest, then eats
supper, and a shoft time after supper
comes another walk of two or three
miles. He never ventures out after
the dampness ot evening sets in, and
is in bed promptly at 8 o’clock. These
are his everyday exercises rain or
shine.
How a Chinese Emperor dels Mar
ried.—The Emperor of China is 1-5
years old, and is to be married this
year with immense pomp to his first
and chief wife—the Empress. He
will bo simultaneously provided with
second and ihird wives; and from all
parts of the Empire, victims are being
collected to swell the list of his liaretn.
Evrry Tartan family, we believe, is
obliged to contribute its quota. Local
seclectious are first made, and the ho
locaust is sent to Pekin where a fresh
selection takes place, and a “chosen”
number are condemned to a life long
seclusion. They are not allowed to
see their ielutions ; many never see
their lord and master, and in the event
of his death, they are still condemned
to perpetual isolation and celibacy.
A fantion !o Smokers.
A writer in the British Medical Re
view says :
Dr. Decaisne, in the course ofinvesti-
gaiion on the influences of tobacco, on
circulation, has been stiuck with the
large number of boys, agpd from nine
to fifteen years, who smoke ; and has
been led to inquire into the connec
tion of this habit with the impairment
of the general health. He has observ
ed, thirty-eight boys, aged from nine
to fifteen, who smoked more or less.—
Of these, distinct symptoms were pres
ent in twenty-seven. In twenty-two,
there were various disorders of circu
lation—bruit desouffle in the neck.pal-
patation. disorder of digestion, slow
ness of intellect, and a more or less
marked taste for strong drinks.

How to Keep Rats from Destroying
Harness.—Almost every person who
uses a harness has been more or less
annoyed by having them injured by
rats. We give a few hints as to how
this may be avoided, though everbody
knows, or ait’eciing to know what is
best. The receipts here given aie col
lected from different sources : Take
about a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper,
mix it thoroughly with a quart oi oil
and rub the harness with ihe mixture.—
This it.is claimed, will not only keep

On the 18th of April, ISOS, in the j halters,
prison of Villa Rica, (province ot Minas
Geraes) in Brazil, two mer. najned A-
veiro anti Carines were executed at
the same time. In Brazil executions
take place with closed doors, in ihe in
terior of the prison. Dt. Lorenzo y
Cartno, of Rio Janeiro, well known by
savants for his remarkable works on
electricity applied to physiology, his
surgical skill, and his success in auto
plastic operations, obtained permission
to profit by this event, in order to ex
periment on the power ol electricity,
and illustrate its analogy with some of
the phenomena of life.
The numerous experiments hitherto
attempted have been made on the head
ami trunk separately. Dr. Lorenzo y
CarmoV design was, jf possible, to
unite the head to the neck after de
capitation. The heads of the two crim
inals fell within a few minutes of each
other into the same basket; first that

A little benzine rubbed over the har

be a sure preventive, but is not recom

idea that it injures the leather. .One
ounce ot aloes to one gallon of oil will
prevent rats from destroying ihe har
ness. It is also claimed that by mixing
a small quantity, say a tablespoontul,
ol pine tar to one quart of oil, harnesses
will be most effectually protected from
any injury ; but if too much is put on
the leather will not absorb it. It will
collect dirt deside making the harness
unpleasant to handle. — Carriage and

There was a clergyman who often
became quite vexed at finding his little
grandchildren in his study. One day
one of these little children was stand

speaking to him of heaven. “Ma,”
said he, “I don’t want to go to heaven.”
“Don’t want to go to heaven, ray son ?”
“No, ma, I’m sure I don’t” “Why
not, my son r” “Why, grandpa will
be there won’t he ?” “Why, yes, I
hope he will.” “Well,just as soon as
