Hound for England to Give Exhibitions in
Fisticuff)» 'The Sullivan Dispute.
New YoRK,Oct.28.—TheMace-Davis com
bination of pugilists has sailed for England.
On the steamer the subject of conversation
was a statement published on the authority
of Mike Gillesp'c, of Boston, to the effect
that Sullivan was willing to spar Mace or
any other man four rouud6 for $5,000 aside.
"I've had $1,000 in Harry Hill's hands
over a month," said Mace, excitedly, "wait
ing lor Sullivan to cover It, aud only with
drew the money yesterday after making ar
rangements to call to-day to fill a ten weeks'
engagement on the other side. Sullivan
knew I was goiug abroad, and just as I am
about to start, out comes this challenge of
Gillespie's. I don't believe Sullivan author
ized it, but if lie did I have this reply to
make; I will spar him in
matches, three rounds or four, just as he
chooses, and bet him three to one he
knock me out.
"If bo will come to England I'll meet him
there, and rliow him £100 for expenses, or
I will meet him here three months hence
If that is not definite enough I can't speak

Beltidbhe, N. J., Oct. 23.—Peter C.
Small, who lain jail here on a charge ol horse
stealing, has not partaken of a particle of
food for the last 13 days. His mother and
sister visited him last week, bringing with
them large quantities ot delicacies, but lie
refused to eat. Dr. Lefferts, tho jail
physician, has submitted him to a careful
examination and found that lie is in perfect
health and bis stomach in Its normal condi
tion. His pulse is strong and vigorous and
injurious effects are yet visible from bis
long fast. Since bis removal from the new
to the old jail he has shown an ugly spirit,
threatening his fellow-prisoners and the
sheriff with vengeance whenever an oppor
tunity shows itself He declares that he
will be acquitted on the charge of horsc
ptealing made against him, and says that lie
can only bo convicted of an attempt to
break jail, for which he believes the court
will not punish him very severely. Just
what his motives are keeping up his long
fast no one can tell.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
[Contrlbute4 by the W. C. T. U.]
The alumni of Thomas Jefferson's pet
University of Virginia refrained from hav
ing wine at their alumni dinner thie year
for the first time iu their history. They said
thov "did this out of regard to the IV. C.
T. U."
The alumni of the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy have condemned "the salo of In
toxicating liquors a» a beverage In drug
stores as a growing evil, tending to degrade
the professi«*n of pharmacy and damaging
the morals of the community."
Commissioner Eaton h ts written to the
resident of the National W. O. T. U. that
je will gladly do all In his power to pro
mulgate scientific temparar.ee tru'hs from
bis department In the Governmmt. This Is
certainly a large offset to that other branch
ofthe governmental sorvlce which promul
gates the id«*.a that 90 cents on every galion
of spirits will stifle governmental conscieuco
and render tho liquor traffic a legitimate
leech on the Tilals of the nation.

AMUSEMENTS.
"Louis XI," will be given in the Opera
House to-morrow evening by W. E. Sheri
dan, supported by the same company that
assisted him in niakii g such a decided suc
cess iu Philadelphia last week. On Friday
night the same company will present "King
Lear." Of the play and company the Phil
adelphia Record of Tuesday, October 1G,
say6: "Mr. W. E. 8heriilan was very
warmly welcomed back upon tho Philadel
phia stage by troops of friends last night,
though he chose to make his first appear
ance in that most difficult and lugubrious
of all of Shakespeare's creations, "King
Lear." Perhaps it was the difficulty of the
part that induced Mr. Sheridan to essay it
for his first night, in order to show up his
paces, now that ho is improved by travel
aud experience. He certainly has gained in
breadth and capability. His Lear is a most
conscientious and faithful realization of a
crazed, maltreated old man who maintains
his dignity in his distress and never forgets
that he is every inch a king. Mi. Sheridan's
support thrr ughout is very good."
On Saturday night Charles L. Davis in
"Alvin Jo8lin" will appear at the Opera
House. The Hudson Daily Journal of a
recent date says: Charles L. Davis "Alvin
Joslln" troupe, who played at the Opera
House last night, had a large audience,
which they highly entertained. Their play
has little plot. It Is hardly anything more
than a series of Improbable adventures, aud
contains a good deal of the tragic order for
a comedy, but. the admirable way In which
it was presented, the excellent mechanical
the fun made by "Uncle Alvin" and the
splendid music of the large orchestra
pleased everybody, and there was much ap
plause. The dressing of the troupe was also
fine.

session of the Episcopal Convention memo
rials of Rev. John Cotton Smith, D. O., of
New York; Rev. William Shelton, D. D., for
over half a century rector of a church at
Buffalo, N. Y., and others were read and
adopted.
The report of the Committee on Amend
meut to the Constitution relative to altera
tions lu the book of common prayer was
taken up. The committee reported ad
versely to the tentative use ot any portion
of the book and the report was adopted.
The report from the same committee con
curring with the House of Bishops in substi
tuting the words "House of Deputies" for
"Convention" in certain places In the con
stitution was adopted.
The repot of the Committee on Canons
relative to the work among the colored pop
ulation in the South was then taken up.
The com mil tee reported that In their opiu
iou legislation intended for good might op
crate for evil. The Church caunot too care
fully avoid drawlug lines of distinction be
tween different classes. The special com
mittee on the same subject had reported
recommending the adoption of a canon for
the establishment of a separate missionary
organizations in the different dioceses under
the direction of the bishops. The report of
the special committee was not agreed to.
The two houses met In the afternoon as
the Board of Missions and Mr. James M.
Brown was re-elected Treasurer of the Do
mestic and Foreign Mi sionary Society.
The Right Rev. Bishop Doane, of Albany,
presented the report of the Mexican Com
mission, which stated that during 1881 in
creased dissatisfaction was felt as to the con
duct of afialrs in Mexico. In 1882 the com
mission expressed to Bishop Riley in strong
terms their opinion thut the Chur h should
be called on to support the Church lu
Mexico until all the terms of the covenant
had teeu met, and liiB presence was re
quested in New York. A communication
was subsequently sent to Bishop Riley by
Bishop Lee, In which he stated that It ap
pe&red to the commission that there had
been an apparent want of open dealing in
regard to the liturgy, and that actually its
completion was being hindered. There had
been also an apparent misappropriation of
funds and several congregations in Mexico
have never received an episcopal visitation.
No answer was received to this communi
cation. A telegram was subsequently sent
requesting the presence of Bishop Riley in
this city on the 18th insti On the 16th
an answer was received that Bishop
Riley could not leave his work on such
short notice. At a meeting of the Mexican
Commission it was concluded that the work
could tot be carried on under Bishop Riley,
and on the 19th inst., he was requested to
resign the work. An answer has sine*' been
received which seemed to imply that Bishop
Riley had resigned. The report stated that
the mission had for years been supported II
a great measure from the Bishop's own
fuuds. There was no question with the com
mission as to the duty of continuing the re
form movement in Mexico, but the commis
sion was not prepared to state what the
method should be.
A communication from the House of
an unanl
the action
Bishops was read, stating that by
mouB vote they had approved of
of the commission in requesting the resigna
tion of the Bishop of the Valley of Mexico,
and also recommending that mission work
in Mexico be carried on.
Rev. Dr. Fulton,
Missouri, said state
ments had been made that a convent had
been entered into with the Church of Jesus
in Mexico. It was impôt tant to know with
whom that covenant had been made. The
general convention was the only body that
could authorize such a covenant. The
Mexican Commission, having the unanimous
approbation of the House of Bishops, has
requested the Bishop of the Valley of
Mexico to resign his commission. Now, in
whose hands is it to be placed? Bishop
Riley is not within the jurisdiction of this
church. He is the head of a synod of his
own church. If he resigns, what then! We
will have adrift in the world another de
tached bishop responsible to no church on
earth and liable to .establish schismatic so
cieties.
After a discussion
to what disposition
should be made of the report it was laid on
the table.
The House of Bishops met this morning
and the resignation of the Right Rev.
Bishop Potter as Secretary of the House was
accepted and Rev. Dr. William Tatlock was
elected to fill the position.

The clothes were entirely stripped from their

a carriage, and of being put aboard a vessel
and carried to Winterport, Me., where he
was kept in a dark room three

There were other children in the house, but
these he rarely saw, and was not permitted
to play with. After remaining at Winterport
for several years he was carried on a vessel

he has beet to sea, most of the time serving
as cook. He can read but little and does
not write at all. He proposes, in case he
