A PUGILISTIC LORD.

Chicago papers of June 3rd publish a despatch from London to the effect that Lord Charles Beresford had entered the prize-ring as a rival to Mace and his Maori. This was no sooner announced than his Lordship stirred for a fight. He challenged the Maori and Mace to a set-to without gloves. The contest was arranged in a private room near the Elephant and Castle public house in Borough road. The Prince of Wples was present, surrounded by numbers of sportsmen and gentlemen. Heavy betting was indulged in. After several exciting rounds, in which excellent science was displayed on both sides, Mace failed to come up to time, and finally acknowledged himself badly beaten. Lord Charles Beresford won an easy victory, and almost withoat a scratch. When he had finished with Mace, he invited Slade to take a turn, but the Maori declined to enter. Mace took his defeat quietly. It is now known Lord Beresford had intimated to His Royal Highness that an Englishman could always whip a professional fighter, and he had expressed a determination to meet Jem Mace and his Maori on the first opportunity. Lord Beresford, it will be remembered, commanded the Condor, gunboat, in her daring attack at close quarters with Alexandrian forts during the late war.

Indigestion.—The main cause of nervousness is indigestion, and that is caused by weakness of the stomach. No one can have sound nerves and good health without using Hop Bitters to strengthen the stomach, purify the blood, and keep the liver and kidneys active, to carry off all the poisonous, and waste matter of tha system. —See. Never Return.—lt is said that one out of every four real invalids who go to foreign countries to recover health never return, except as a corpse. The undertakers, next to the hotelkeepers, have the most profitable business. This excessive mortality may be prevented, and patients saved and cured under the cnre of friends and loved ones at home, if they will but use Hop Bitters in time. Read. A meeting of Parnellite members of Parliament was held in Dublin on May 20th, Mr Justin McCarthy in the chair. The Chairman said he was bound in duty as an Irishman to contribute to the testimonial for Pamell Referring directly to the papal circular, Mr McCarthy said he had only to repudiate the fraudulent statement which had been made to the College of Cardinals. He should regret to see priests divided from Irish politics, forin times past they had been the only friends of the people. Mr Biggar, M.P. for Cavan, spoke in condemnation of the circular.
