MARK TWAIN’S FIGHT.
Arrested for Assault, Fined $1 and
Presented With a $5 Bill.
From the New Vork Star.
Samuel Clemons in his younger days had
obeyed the advice of Horace Greeley, of
“Young Man, go Wost,” and ill 1854 was
working at type setting in the job office of
the St. Louis Republican. As in all other
job offices there was now and then a
scarcity of certain letters in some of the
fonts. This led to n deal of what all printers
know as “gouging” other fellow’s
cases who were fortunate enough to
nave a reasonable supply. Young Sam hud
been careful to keep his case well filled, hut
o certain “sort,” which happened to lie
scarce through its having to be frequently
used in the joo then being set up, was mys
teriously “gouged” by someone of the other
printers. Sam determined to watch for the
depredator, and one morning caught Jim
Blake helping himself. There hail pre
viously been a disagreement between the
two, and t},e temper of both quickly came
to the surface when Sam ordered Blake to
£ut the “Karts” back. Blake gave Sam a
srse invitation to go to the place where
broken type is always deposited, and
squared off” with his fists at Clemens.
‘Even in his younger day* Sara Clemens
**d teamed how to put up liis hands, and
he went for Blake like a small typhoon.
They sparred away at each other for a few
moments, the old roremau and other printers
urging them both to “pitch in.” After a
few blows had been exchanged, Blake’s pro
boscis having started a leak, he found that
Sam was a cooler and better boxer than
he had calculated upon. He made a rush
to clinch Sam, but the future
humorist was too smart for him, for, mov
ing aside a step or two, he landed a conple
of ringing blows upon the side of Blake’s
head that not only laid him prone upon the
floor, but by the force of the Dlows knocked
him under a frame, capsizing a half dozen
cases of type over the whipped fellow. The
defeated “gouger” halloaed “Murder!
Enough! _ Let me up!” and Sam said he was
satisfied if Blake would promise not to
make any more raids on his case.
Blake crawled off home, washed up, put
plasters on his eyes and face, rubbea him
self with liniment, and then proceeded to
the police court. He j:ound Judge Jecko,
one of the greatest jokers and the most
popular Justice in St. Louis, on duty. Blake
demanded that a warrant be issued for the
arrest of Samuel Clemens for an attempt at
manslaughter. The Justice listened, with
his keen black eyes twinkling, to the re
hearsal of the efforts of Sam to slaughter
Blake, and advised him to go to the
Republican office and apologize to the
victor, and abjure “gouging” for the future.
Blake would not listen to any such advice,
and Judge Jecko finally issued a warrant
for Clemens on a simple charge of assault.
The warrant was served in a few moments,
the office being only a few blocks distant.
Sam was duly escorted to the court room by
a constable, attended by his fellow typos.
His appearance was that of a natty, well
dressed, almost dudish young man, with
rosy cheeks and a pleasant countenance, de
noting anything but a pugilistic propensity.
Judge Jecko put him through the usual
g)lice court examination, and listened to
lake’s vivid description of the savage
character of the assault upon him. The
Judge, however, like the crowd of specta
tors present, considered the matter, as he
stated it, as one of those cases where the
old Latin adage came in very appropriately,
thought Clemens had simply applied what
was due to the occasion, and said he must
have been incited by the adage Fiat
justitia ruat caelum , which, Judge Jecko
said, being translated into the St. Louis
vulgate, meant, “Let justice be done, though
the neavens fall.” The Judge then said the
laws must be enforced, and, as Clemens had
admitted that he had thrashed Blake to his
heart’s content, and would do so again on
similar provocation, he felt that the pal
ladium of liberty would be placated by im
posing a fine of sl, without costs of court,
upon Samuel Clemens for violating the
laws, peace and dignity of the State of Mis
souri and the ordinances of the good city of
St. Louis.
Clemens forthwith produced an old-fash
ioned Mexican silver dollar and handed it to
the clerk of the court. Judge Jecko came
down to the floor after adjourning the court
and told Sam and his friends that he had
not had so much fun for years, and proposed
that all should adjourn to the hotel. He then
handed Clemens a $5 bill to pay for drinks
for the crowd, and the affair ended with
cheers for the plucky printer who would not
submit to “gouging’’ either at his case or in
an impromptu fight.
Blake took the next day’s train for Cin
cinnati, and it is doubtful if he has ever
since made himself known to the now cele
brated Mark Twain. Sam Clemens shortly
after became identified in some business
with the celebrated Blair family, and ob
tained through them a position as clerk on a
Mississippi steamer, where he picked up his
cognomen of “Mark Twain.” He has
always manifested a soft side for the
printers up to the present time, but he has
never referred to the above triumph in a
pugilistic encounter, and it would probably
never have come to light had not a journal
ist in this city } who was then a brothel
printer, related rt to a reporter at an up
town club a few evenings ago.
SLAVES IN MEXICO.
Bondage In Which the Peona Are Held
by Fraudulent Masters.
Edgar Lee Vance in the Inter-Mountain.
A good deal has been told and written of
the cruelties in subterranean Siberia, but I
very much doubt if the situation of any con
vict chained in an underground gallery is
nearly as appalling as that of hundreds and
hundreds of the Mexican peon slaves toiling
within a day’s journey of the land of the
free. Ido not say that this is true of all
mines; at many of them, and particularly
those owned by American or English com
panies, the management is humane and ad
mirable in every particular, but it is true
of some. In these it is no unusual thing for
a i>eon to be murdered by some cruel task
master, in plain sight of his wife, who
works by his side, hears his dying shriek
and is powerless to raise her hand to save.
This is no fancy picture, but a dreadful and
repeated reality.
„ It is surprising how little of this is known,
but it is surprising how little is > known in
general of interior Mexico. There are thou
sands of square miles where peonage is a
sacred institution and a “white man” is as
great a curiosity as a hippograff or a unicorn
would be. There whole families are wearily
grinding away at debts they had no more to
do with than with the deluge. Some ances
tors they never saw or heard tell of, drank
too much mescal one day, or lost a few dol
lars at monte, or was tempted to buy a
gilded sombrero on credit, and the mischief
was done. That they live in the darkest
sort of ignorance and misery goes without
saying, else some fine morning they would
simply quit being peons and all the j-owors
that De, at least in Mexico, could iiot re
establish the old regime.
The Gardens of Egypt.
From the Brooklyn Magazine.
. At tho beginning of Murch the gardens of
Egypt are really wonderful; the orange and
lemon trees spread their most pungent odor:
the rose trees are covered with innumerable
flowers; the palms, with their green and
white crowns, swing there iu the wind; the
oleanders there border the uvenues; on the
lawns, anemones, annual and perpetual flow
ering pinks, chrysanthemums, violets, zin
nius, periwinkles, snap-dragons, mignonette,
pansies and jjetunias blend their innumera
ble colors with the green of the trees, bushes
and shrubs. Groups of bamboo lift here
and there their long green or golden steins,
crowned with an immenso plume of pretty
little trembling leaves. One comprehends
on seeing these stems, which assume in a few
months enormous proportions, the cruelly
ingenious punishment uf the Chinese iu
binding a criminal to a young bamboo. The
plant grows and the wretch is quartered in
a few weeks. No wood is lighter or more
useful than that of the bamboo. One does
not understand why tho Egyptians neglect
to plant it along the canals and on every
cultivated land, where it grows so well. But
what gives, nt least during winter and spring,
the most smiling aspect to tho Egypt ian gar
dens are the great sheets of rose bougain
villeas that cling to tho walls, the tine:-; and
groups of foliage, und which display every
where the varied and exquisite tints of their
flowers. The bougainvilleas is certainly the
iinest of climbing plants. During five
months it flowers under the winter sun,
take shades of extreme delicacy—one might
say a light rose trail, the intensity of which
every play of light varies. The aloes, the
ugave, attach them'dvee on rocky slopes.
On the banks of tho water com-ses the blue
lotus and the papyrus still revive antique
reminiscences. Grass cannot bo raised in
Egypt. The layer of roil is so thin that the
sun dries it up immediately, and unless the
grass lie constantly submerged, it turns yel
low and perishes at once. It (k not the beat
alone that produces this result, for there is
very much fine grass in the tropics; but the
heat, accompanied with tho .shallowness of
the soil, renders the culture of grass impos
sible in Egy pt.. It is with difficulty that a
few isolated blades of grass sprout during
winter along tho’ Nilo and the canals; they
disappear as soon us spring begins, so that
everywhere in the country where artificial
cultivation finishes, the dry and hare desert
I logins. In the plain of grass a pretty little
verbenneen is used, and this is oucounterod
everywhere, the same as grass is encoun
tered in America.

COTTON.
An Interesting Letter About the First
Shipment of It from This Country.
Georgia was settled with a three-fold ob
ject in view; first as a place of refuge for
that worthy class of English people who
could find no field of action in their native
land; secondly, as a barrier of free laborera
between the Spaniard of Florida and the
slave-holding colonies to the north, and
thirdly, to supply England with the silk
and wine derived from France and Bpain.
The first design made her very soon a house
of refuge from religious intolerance, the
secoud was impracticable in a climate where
the white man could not clear
the forests and labor under the influence of
the summer suu, and the tail'd failed from
several causes that exist to this day. But
the silk was soon supplied by a material
which afterward became so important in
commerce as to give ‘rise to the saying
“cotton is king.” The first proclamation of
the advent of this article is from Bethesda,
May 13, 1742, in a letter from James Haber
sham, then President of the Bethesda Insti
tution, of which letter the following is a
copy, viz:
“To Gen. Oglethorpe, at Frederica:
“I have desireclMr. Hunter to send all the
cotton we have, if Mr. Headly will take it in.
If not, he will send a sample. We ha ve but
little of this country grovvth, and shall leave
your excellency to put a price upon it. But
the West India, of which the sample is a
part, cost us chiefly 12d. sterling per pound,
and cannot be afforded for less than fid. per
pound. I know it would fetch considerably
more in England, but trouble, risk and
charges would attend sending it there. I
had rather dispose of it for less to your ex
cellency. It has all been milled, is the same,
our weaver acquaints me, as is sold upon
London keys. I have desired Mr. Hunter,
likewise to send your excellency some wool,
skins and hides, which I judge will be ac
ceptable at Frederica. I cannot fix any
price on them, but must take what they are
worth at your market.”
To this, Mr. William Neyle Habersham,
who make this extract from original manu
scripts, adds:
“I cannot find the letter about the ship
ment of the twenty bales of cotton, all the
letters of 1752 to 1775 were destroyed by
Sherman, in Burke county, during the war,
but I can take oath to the fact that he
loaded the ship here and sent twenty bales to
a Mr. Dillon, his agent in New York,
where the ship went to finish her loading, as
all ships did iu the earliest days of the colony,
and Dillon cleared the cotton for him in
New York. It was about 1755 or 1766.”

The Most Prominent Russian.
Odessa Correspondence London Daily News.
As M. Katkoff is just now the most promi
nent jierson in the political as in the journal
istic world of Russia, it may not prove un
interesting if I give you some brief particu
lars of his public career. Michael Nikiflro
vitch Katkoff was born at Moscow in 1818,
and is therefore now in his 63th year. After
being educated in his native city M. Katkoff
proceeded to Konigsberg and subsequently
to Berlin, in both of which places be dili
gently pursued a course of studies prepara
tory to a professorship in the University of
Moscow, where he in due course filled the
chair of philosophy. About the year 1848
M. Katkoff, like most of the representatives
of the intellect of his country, became
"suspect,” and was subjected to the surveil
lance of the police. At that period all the
chairs of philosophy in Russia were abol
ished, and of course be ceased to occupy
his. Subsequently he made frequent and
lengthy visits to friends iu the Isle of Wight,
and manifested a marked predilection
for English institutions. In 1856 he founded
a monthly review, the Russian Messenger ,
which was at first a Liberal organ, that is,
as far as any Russian organ may be thus
termed. To'the Russian Messenger Tsche
drin, the celebrated Russian satirist, was
one of the earliest contributors, and it was
in that review he first published his Gubem
skie Otseherki (Sketchesof Provincial Life).
Turgenieff was also n contributor to the
Messenger , in which first appeared his Otsy
i Detv (Fathers and Sons) and other works.
In scholastic literature M. Katkoff wrote
only two books. “On the Elements and
Forms of the Slavc-Russian Language,”
and “A Sketch of the Most Ancient Period
of Greek Philosophy.” He alone founded
and edited the Russian Messenger , but he
had a companion iu the editorship of the
Moscow Gazette, Prof. Leontieff, an old
schoolfellow and colleague, and at all times
a close and inseparable friend.
M. Katkoff early displayed strong imagi*
native power, and his strength lay—in his
best days at least —less iu criticism than in
the creative faculty. His guide, philosopher
and friend was Prof. Leontieff, whom he
afterward made director of his Lyceum on
the establishment of that institution in
Moscow. About two years previous to the
last Polish revolution, M. Katkoff began an
onslaught against the unfortunate Poles,
which he earned on so fiercely that the
government interfered. This may' be said
to have have been tho turning point in his
career. He defied the government. It or
dered him to publish its censure for a given
number of day's in his own journal under a
penalty of 2,000 roubles a day. This censure
was worded so severely as to be directly in
sulting to him. The first day fixed for its
publication arrived, but the Moscow
Gazette contained no hint of the
matter. The Russian newspapers were as
tonished at M. Katkoff’s temerity. The
penalty was imposed and paid for eleven
(lays. The censure was not only never pub
lished, but tho government ultimately re
turned the fines. M. Katkoff obtained a
triumph. Following closely upon this event
came the Polish revolution of 1803. His
prophecies were fulfilled. He was feted and
flattered. Deputations of students from all
the universities went to Moscow to con
gratulate the far-seeing politician and versa
tile scholar and journalist. Since that time
M. Katkoff lias been a powerful factor in
the imperial policy of the empire. Leontieff
died about ten years ago. This event pro
duced such a deep effect on M.
Katkoff that his life was for some
time despaired of. In the latter
years of .Turgenieff’s life political differ
ences arose between M. Katoff and the Rus
sian publicist. After 1880 Turgenieffs
nuinc never appeared in the Moscow
Gazette. When the groat writer died, and
the Russian press, in mourning columns,
teemed with laudatory obituary notices and
biographical sketches of the patriot, poet,
and novelist, the Moscow Qar.ct'O gave not
the slightest notice of the event. This was
perhaps the most unworthv act of M. Kat
koffs journalistic career. There is this much
to be said of M. Katoff tliat he possesses the
courage of his opinions. It 1- impossible,
indeed, to withhold a certain admiration of
his character as a politician and journalist.
If Russia possessed a few more men of his
stamp, ana they were devoted solely to the
welfare of the people, the sorely needed
redemption of the country would be rapidly
brought about.
