PULPIT TO PRIZE RING.
PUGILIST BILLY FRAZIER'S PS
CDLI AS CARE2R.
ge Left ttse Ring to Bea Preecher

Agrees With Dr. Abbott, There is
More Money In Fighting.
From the Boston Globe.
Since he abandoned the ring for the pul
rit, the fight at New Bedford recently be
tween Billy Frazier and Jimmy Mnrrry for
s fooO purse and thelight-weight ohampion
cipof New England was the flrit appear
ance of the former In a finish contest.
William SV Frazier, better known as
•'Billy Frssier, tne ex-champion light
weißht c* tJtta world," is of Sootch descent.
He springs from an ancient Scotch clan,
whose men were famous for great bravery
in war. intense zeal in religion and pre
eminence in Intellectual attainments.
These characteristics of bis ancestors
jeem to have played no small part in
Frazier’s career and furnish to the student
of heredity an interesting study.
Frasier’s first real experience in life was
esa sailor, and the rough treatment he
received aboard ship prompted him, as it
did the celebrated Winsbip, to take lessons
in epirring merely for self-defense.
He, however, soon developed such sur
prising ability as a boxer that, almoet be
fore he knew it, he had become a profes
lional.
A score or more of battles with the best
men in his class in due time followed, with
an occasional oontest by way of variety
with such famous middle-weights as the re
doubtable Jack Dempeey, La Blanche, “the
Marine," and others.
And yet Frazier is a small man standing
only 5 feet 2 inches in his stockings, and
weighing when in condition only about 126
pounds. ,
Frazier gradually drifted into anew field,
and became professor of boxing and phys
ical culture in several institutions of learn
ing. The students of Willistou Heminary at
Kastbampton, Exeter and Andover acade
mies, Amherst, Williams and Wesleyan col
leges and Harvard University have all bad
the benefit of Frazier’s experience and in
struction.
Close and familiar relations with students
and men of culture bad a marked Influence
on Frazier, and another characteristic of
his ancestors—the intellectual—began to
manifest itself. He began A course of men
tal discipline, and worked away as faith
fully at it as he bad ever trained for a phy
sical contest.
Assisted by both students and professors
Frazier’s progress was rapid and thorough.
The inherited instinct for battle and a trial
at arms with his fellow man, so largely
characteristic of the Scotch and Irish races,
having been satisfied, fell into the back
ground and were displaced by the intellect
ual faculties.
Frazier was becoming a scholar.
£ Frazier’s studies assumed a religious ten
dency, and his whole religious nature was
soon aflame. As, however, he was still
practioally a teacher of sparring and ath
letics, and liable at any time to be matched
uainst some opponent anxious for pugilistic
honors and emoluments, he was in a quan
dary as to the course he ought to pursue.
"To spar or not to spar, “that was the
question.
Frazier’s experience during the time he
was coming to a decision as to whether or
not he should exchange the padded glove of
the professional boxer for the carefully pre
pared sermon of the preacher is interesting.
His “sleep went from him," and night
after night he paced the floor of his room
till daylight. His appetite left him, and he
grew thin and haggard; but by a desperate
effort the question was settled.
"Cost what it may,” said he, “I will
abandon the ring. No more of it for me I”
The decision once made, the transition to
a religious life was eaßy and natural. The
religious zeal of his Scotch ancestors broke
out in him with great power. He became
absorbed in the study of theology and the
kindred sciences.
Everything in any way related to bis
career as a pugilist was repudiated and put
away. Not a vestige was allowed to remain.
Huudreds of dollars worth of jewelry, val
uable trophies and mementoes—everything,
indeed, but a watch presented to him by
tbe students of Wesleyan College—was
either sold or given away.
Frazier's career as a professional boxer
and athlete had, for the time being, ended.
In finally determining to enter the minis
try Frazier was powerfully influenced by a
sermon on the "Prodigal Son,” which he
heard at a revival meeting in Saco, Me.,
when a boy of 13, the iraprecsiOn of which,
he says, will never leave him. That sermon
became to him the voice of God calling him
to become a preacher.
Every spare moment was now given to
study. The midnight oil was recklessly
burned, and his health threatened by over
triplication, but it was impossible to re
strain him.
In the course of time a carefully selected
library of 1,000 volumes grew up around
him. While sitting in Frazier’s study re
cently, the writer glanced over the neatly
arranged volumes of his library and noted
the following works:
Full editions of tbe Encyclopaedia Bntan
hica and the International Encyclopaedia,
several standard commentaries and diction
aries on the Old and New Testamants;
translations of most of the early ohnrch
lathers; Hume’s, Guizot’s, Knight’s and
Macaulay’s histories of England: Carlyle's
and Thiers’ histories of the Fronds revolu
tion. Hal lam’s “Middle Ages,” Motley’s
'Netherlands, ’’Milman’s works, translations
of all the principal Latin authors and poets,
Rawlinsou’s "Ancient Monarchies and
"Ancient Egypt;" Mosheim’s, Milner’s and
-Zander’s church histories; Prescott’s works;
standard histories of Germany, Austria,
Italy, Turkey, Russia and Greece; Ban
croft’s history of the United States, the
hyriac New Testament in English, a Douay
bible, edition of 1609, besides a sprinkling
of biographies and books of travel.
Peeping out from the tops of nearly every
rolume of his library are narrow Btrips of
white paper, tell-tale evidences of Frazier’s
ahigenoe as a student.
As a preacher Frazier was a success. He
tod identified himself with the Second
Advontists and was a member of a church
01 that faith in Somerville. Although he
'Poke extemporaneously, Frazier prepared
sermons with great care.
1 could, no doubt, have filled almost
Li Cl>u . rch on “y reputation as an ex

Frazier was married when quite young,
and has two children—one a very pretty
girl of 15, now in her second year in the
high school, and the other a bright and
handsome boy a few years younger. Mrs.
Frazier has always faithfully followed her
husband's fortunes, no matter where they
might lead or what her own preferences
might be.
Frazier is bis own landlord, his comforta
ble dwelling standing just off of Somerville
avenue, above Union square, Somerville,
Against bis private character soandal has
never been raised. In manner and appear
ance Frazier is modest and gentlemanly,
and there U nothing whatever about him to
indicate that be is a fighter.
The bight of the average pugilist’s ambi -
tion is to be able some day to be the pro
prietor of a barroom. Not so with Frazier.
Jo the writer he said:
"From my youth up, I have been ambi
tious to be a writer and lecturer on theo
logical and biblical subjects. Igo back to
the ring mainly for the reason that I think
that I can more readily earn money that
way than in any other.
"When I earn enough for my purpose, if
lam so fortunate, I intend to pursue my
theological studies more diligently than
ever. I suppose I was born to be forever
fighting somebody or something, and the
field of theological controversy therefore at
tracts me.
"So far as pugilism is concerned," he con
tinued, "let me sayr-once for all, that what
ever is vulgar and brutal about it disgusts
me; but whatever about it calls for a dis
play of science, skill, courage, strength and
endurance fascinates me. That kind of
pugilism is to me one of the fine arts.
“But. after all, I would rather be a writer
and lecturer on biblical subjects than any
thing else.”
He Could Not .Imitate William.

“I have just returned from a trip up

“It was on the teain,” said the colonel,
encouraged by the loiterer’s apparent in

skirts of a little town, and passed a barn

REUNION OF SOUTHERNERS.
A Social Event Which Brought To
gather Many Old Friends.
from New York Commercial Advertiser,
Among tha many social receptions of the
past season in New York none has been
characterized by more historical interest
than that which took plaoe at the residence
of Col. and Mrs. A. R. Chisolm, No. 162
Madison avenue, on the afternoon of Wash
ington’s birthday.
Briefly described, it was a reunion of
nearly all of the confederate veterans and
their families now residing in and around
the oity. The majority of the "graybeards”
present were gentlemen who, before tho
war, were reckoned among the planters and
professional men of the south, who, during
the war, stood In the forefront of battle,
and who, since the war, have been counted
among the successful and substantial citi
zens of the metropolis. Many of the ladies
present had also worn tho southern home
spun and endured the privations inoident to
the struggle.
Col. Chisolm, the host, was the confiden
tial aide of Gen. Beauregard from the fir
ing of tho first gun upon Fort Sumter, iff
1881, until the surrender, and it was there
fore wiih a fraternal* spirit appreciated by
all old soldiers, that be gathered around
him his companions in arms, together with
scores of relics that served to remind them
of the past.
With the latter the two spaolous parlors
of his mansion were freely decorated.
Hanging from the walls vras to be seen the
headquarters flag of Gen. Beauregard,
from which the battle flag of the con
federacy originated. It was made by Miss
Hettie Carey ot Baltimore, subsequently
Mrs. Gen, Pegram, from her silk dresses
and presented by ner in person just after
the battle of Bull Run, July, 181. Gen.
Beauregard had sent It from New Orleans
with a fraternal massage to bis old soldiers
especially for this season.
Another flag, or rather the remnants of
one. of historic interest was that which
floated over Fort Sumter during its last
great bombarbment, which lasred sixty
days and nights. A third banner, "all
tattered and torn," was the flag of the First
cavalry regiment of the Maryland line, and
loaned for the occasion by Gen. Bradley T.
Johnson of Maryland. It was only sur
rendered when a private of the command,
wrapping it around him under his ragged
jacket, oarried it from the field and de
livered it to his sweetheart. A fourth was
tho flag of the First South Carolina in
fantry of Korshaw’s brigade, Longetreet’s
corps, carried by that regiment through all
the battles of the army of Northern Vir
ginia.
Among other articles displayed was a life
size portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee, taken
In his latter days, and said to be one of the
best paintings of the dead leader extant; a
-portrait of Gen. Washington which hung
in the white house during the administra
tion of President Madison, a potrait of Gen.
N B. B’orrest the famous cavalry leader; a
drawing representing Gena fee and Stone
wall at their meeting on the battlefield of
Chancellorsville. May 1, 18C3; a painting by
Julian Scott entitled “Peace,” in which is
portrayed a historical scene that ocourred
after the surrender at Appomattox, the
artist, a union soldier and a confederate
officer (Col. Chisolm), being engaged in tak
ing a friendly drink by a brookside.
The smaller hut not less interesting relics
were atranged upon tables scattered bounti
fully around the parlors. These comprised
swords, an official cypher book, the key
words of which are “our navy,our pHde;”
"special orders” for desperate undertakings,
paroles and pardons, views of the interior
of Fort Sumter taken under fire, photo
graphs of Forts Sumter and Moultrie after
the bombardment in 1861, pictures of distin
guished southern men taken during the war,
Including that of Gen. Albert Sidney John
ston; a portrait of Jefferson Davis taken
soon after his release from Fortress Monroe,
inscribed by him and sent to one of the
ladies present; the private portfolio of
Judah P. Benjamin when Secretary of war,
hats, canteens and haversacks that showed
the wear aud tear of many a campaign,
etc., etc., to all of which was attached some
personal history that gave them special in
terest and value to the assembled guests.
The reception continued for several hours,
and was characterized by that warmth of
sociability which is always found in south
ern circles, the heartiness of good fellow
ship being intensified on this occasion by
tbe presence of so many men and women
whose friendship had been formed during
the stirring events of thirty years ago.
The guests were welcomed by Mrs. A. R.
Chisolm, assisted by Mrs. Dr. James H.
Parker, wife of the commander of the con
federate veteran camp and president of the
United States Bank, and by Col. Chisolm
and daughters. To enumerate the guests

NOT 60 CRUEL AFIBR ALL.
The Keeping of Caged B rds is Hu
mane, When Properly Done.
(Jltve Thorne Miller in Harper's Bazar.
A good deal of sentiment U expended
upon caged birds. From tender hearts, end
from others not fry tender, we often hear,
“I can't bear to keep a bird in a cagel”
Now, without ia any way advocating the
caging of birds, I must say that there are
two sides to this, es to moat questions.
It is true the captive is at'the me-cy of
his owner, bis food depends upon some one’s
memcry. his comfort, his very life, are in
the power of another, but the - am: is true
of the household dog and oat, still more of
the horse. Moreover, the last named ani
mal is much worse off, that he is made to
work, aud often sadly abused by his owner,
yet we hear little sympathy expressed for
bis state of slavery.
It is cruel to capture an adult bird accus
tomed to freedom and to caring for himself,
aud confine him in a cage; it is worse than
cruel, it is brutal, to neglect to provide care
fully for his comfort when thus Imprisoned.
But that a captive bird, properly caught and
properly cherished, must necessarily be un
happy , I emphatically deny, aud my opinion
is based upon several years’ close study of
birds in confinement.
By “properly caught,” I mean taken from
the neat, or when just out of it. By "properly
cherished.” I mean not only fed and watered
as regularly and carefully as wo attend to
our own physical needs, but in every other
way made as happy as is possible, by loving
attention and thoughtful consideration.
As to the canary, bora in a cage, of caged
ancestry, he is utterly incapacitated for
Ho far from being a kindness to
give him his liberty, it is a positive cruelty.
He has never sought food and shelter, he
has no notion of dolug either, and he must
inevitably porish. Birds that have been
taken from the nest are in a similar con
dition of ignorance. Unless kept In captiv
ity a very short time, and afterward sup
plied with food till they learn to
care for themselves, to thrust them
out is like taking a child brought up in
luxury and forcing him into the streets to
pick up his own living. This comparision
is not in the least exaggerated. A young
bird is taught by his parents where and how
to get his food. Close observers may see
this instruction going on all summer, when
nesting is over and young birds are out. If,
then, this period of instruction is passed in
a house, and he is adult when turned adrift,
there is no one to teach him, and he must
learn by bard experience, or die in the
attempt.
I have read stories of children being in
duaed to set free their pets because they
would be so much happier. One in particu
lar I remember, because 1 was so indignant
about it, where the bird refused to be left in
the park, but flew back several times and
alighted on its owners, and zhey actually had
to scheme to get away from it. It was told
as a self sacrificing and virtuous deed, when,
as a matter of fact, it was undoubtedly
pure cruelty, and that bird, accustomed to
care and shelter, probably died of want and
exposure.
Another use of a caged bird, or any cap
tive, that is of great value as I look at it, is
the opportunity it gives for lessons in con
sideration ana care for others, and love and
kindness to animals. It has been ascer
tained by statistics, carefully gathered from
training schools and prisons, that very few
men who in boyhood owned or oared for a
pot animal or who were Instructed in kind
ness to the lower orders, are to be found
among criminals. This fact, which should
not astonish us when we think of the eleva
ting tendency of unselfishness, puts into the
hands of parents and. teaohers a powerful
weapon for good. Not only does the pet
bird or beast entertain and amuse the boy,
but, under proper direction, it trains him
in gentle ways. In a sense of justice, aud it
goee far to Insure an honest Ufa
