The pugilist's bedstead , u quartette of polished columns and gorgeous red canopy , was the prldo of the establish ment nml had held within Its spotless sheets many distinguished travelers , "Haw Is ho feeling ! " I whispered. "I''lrs > t rate , considering , " answered Ullly , closing tbo door with reverence. Veil see resUnlay was our first day at work nnd you run understand that it rather breaks a man up to pitch right into hard training after talt- Ing life easy for nearly a year. He'll get broken in , though , all right , In a week or so , nml do twlco ns much as ho docs now without feeling it. Ilo will bo up at 7 o'clock In tbo morning ; come nnd take breakfast with us , then wo will. follow Jco through his inornhig'scxorciscs ; good night. " Xcxt morning I breakfasted with tlio j .iglllst. There ivns a profusion of other eatables , but the beefsteak caught my eye ; t'was at leiist two Inches thick and Mc- Aullffo at intervals managed to put away a portion aj largo as his own right hand. "lo ) you believe In dieting ! " I asked Mad- ileii , although the question seemed superflu ous. ous."No "No , sir , " was the emphatic ? reply ; "I've been trainer for fifteen years and have brought out some of the best lighters Iu the World .lohn I * Sullivan among them and my cxpeilunee teaches mo that a man intrain- Ing ought to have wholesome food and nil ho wants of it. "i'ou must cut them down in strong drink , of course , out aside from that let them cat their fill. Com mon sunso Is my great guide In training , " "Hight you are , " said the giant approv ingly , as ho smiled over n dish of potatoes ; "I wouldn't cat that grass , though , " poiotlng to abowlof Icttucowhich Mr. Madden was devouring , "You ought to have been a cow era a sheep , nilly. " After the meal wo went to the room whcro Joe punches a twenty pound sand bag and a pal rot lively footballs. "I'll have the round ball first , " said Me- Aullffe , and lunging forward with his loft ho drove the big leather against the ceiling with such violence that It wus back ngiilnon the liistimt , only to iccolvo u swinging right dander ; so great was tbo vim that as the ball Bhotnway again the strain was such us to snap the thick rope like a pleco of grocer's ' twine , and send the ballagaiust the wall with u sounding whack. "Knocked that fellow out all right , didn't II" suid MoAullfli' , smiling complacently , "now let's go down to the beach and have a Bwlm. Nothing like salt water to freshen n umntip.1 "Is that why you chose Wells .to trahUui" I asked. "Partly for that nnd partly because Mr , "Wood , the well known runner , recommended It. Quito a number of men have trained here , so that accommodations are good.Vo are 100 miles away from every thing and pretty sure not to bo bothered. \\'o were going on Lord Lonsdalo's ' estate , as I told you last week , but decided to favor Wells. Finn view , uiii't It ? That's the Ger man ocean out there , you know If you " 'M keep straight on you'll strike the north polo without ever touching land. Queer people that livuhere , " soliloquized Joe , as wo made for the beach ; "don't ' seem to doanythlngor make any money , or have any fun. 'i'ho Lord knows what ttioy cat mussels , I reckon , and hardtack. I don't suppose they ever saw u llrst class light. " Finally wo reached water and they went Infer for a swim. It win u pretty sight to see him strip , nnd a prettier sight stjll to watch him as ho ran swiftly along the firm sands before plunging late the ocean. For such a big rom ho stands six feet , four inches McAulifto Is remarkably quick In his movements Ted can run like a deer. ' What do his thighs mcnsuro ? " I asked Madden as the chum pi cm was undressing. Hid "That's ' a queer thing about Joe , " replied bit ; trainer ; "hobisro eonsenU-d : to huvo his measurement made known , but you can * ' tea what ho Is , can't you ? It's my honest ' opinion bo's going to bo the champion fighter of the world and no oiio can stop him , not oven John L. himself. Look at him now , llopplut ; around out there like n porpoise ho loves water , to batlio in , " Having emerged from his bath , Joe julcldy donned two sweaters , and over them ' put two heavy coats , mid swinging a gold "icndcd cane pwovdcd to step olt iu lively > ttylo along the beach , attracting thojitteution if the natives , who looked back , I saw onu "ttrrlous group staring In respectful aduiim- lion at the Impressions of the big man's soot maikiHl In the ( -and. Soon wo left the jciu'li and turned Into the vast park of here mrl of Leicester. Down ono sweeping ave- uio wo went ntul up another , past rows roof luo old forest trees , among1 which darted lore and there u fawn or bans The suit beat lown upon us mid perspiration begun to flow _ _ "U'ell , " exclaimed Joe , his complexion re- leinbling that of u boiled lobster , "If 1 had all iho money this plnco Is worth I'd retire from > .ho lighting business. " "And what would you ilol" aslsea Madden ; "goon the stage , like John 1,1" "Don'tyou worry about what I'd ' do ; Just [ ot me some money and I'll miinnito the rust. t " Inspired by this reflection Joe struck out larder than over , lengthening out his huge Itrldo and twirling his cauo like a drum najor. It was lively business to keep tm vltli the big man , und ut times wo broke Into i trot. At length it was over , this elght-mllo ipcclmea of Joe's dally jaunt , nnd Jiono too loon. VYo called a halt at tboCSlobe , tliou lid Madden give Ills orders like a general , "Quick I hot ten ! get salt water bath reaOy. Kotv Joe , old limn , drink this and then oft ' vita your things. Mow towels , please , and iinry about It. Look at the way bo's been Waiting ; why , ho must have got rid of llvo ( pundsanyhow ; how are your your feet , be I e , " answered Joe , kicking off his boots , "you know they very rarely blister , and It's a good Job they don't ' all ready i" Now he began to manipulate the cham pion ; first nsponglngnll over -with saltwater , then a scientific rubbing , then another nib bing with alcohol , then kneading nnd then various other things which would have made n professional masseur turn grcon with envy , "lion much -weight do you want to get oft I" I Inquired , "Oh , about two stone , " said MuoMcn , ho will light nt 203 pounds. " "Couldn't ' you reduce tils weight now ccsily by using Turkish baths !

Colonel Ivautz' letters conclude- follov/s : "Tho jocklessconiidcncc with which the department commander supports the viefrs of his acting Judge adoeato in this case is manifest , but if ho is willing to vx- pose the fact that ho loaves to his stall ofllivr tbo review of court-martial cases when the law makes Hhls own pcrsoiml duty , and ho deems it proper to use Irrelevant matter .de veloped lit the proceedings of court-martials to arraign poit commanders , It would bo well to make sine that the points are well taken , for , ns in this case , the evidence may be nt fault and the action of the court the result of a successful quibble.

Colonel JCautz at once retaliated by preferring charges against General Hrooko , alleging conduct unbecoming an ofllcer and n gentle man iu accusing him ( Colonel ICantst ) of falsehood in oftlcial correspondence without cause or provocation.

The now detail to muko a tour of the re cruiting stations Is to start out , October 1 under the ciiargc of Kegiinentul Commander Kiwoll Oatiti , Twentieth Infantry , wiio re- Hcves Lieutenant Colonel .loha ,1. Coppinger. There are to bo fifteen company oiliecrs so- leclod for the recruit ing service , live being taken from the cavalrvaiid ten from the In- fuiitry regiments. J'.norgetic ' cflorts : ire being made to secure nil the Information pos sible intended to improve thoeiilistingservlco and prevent desertions. Hand bills are now posted up in towns and cities which the de tail visits and splendid colored posters , de picting in attractive imilornm ttio cavalry men , infantry men and artillery men , and It is expected that these colored litho graphs -will catch the eve and tire the soul of patriotically Inclined Individ uals and lead them to onllst. CongreM , however - over , has nddeit attractions for tlio recruit by the adoption of the bill allowing the .soldier to buy his discharge , giving it to him five If ho wants it ut the end of three years , al though the enlistment Is for live , giving him nt that tlmo also , whether he takes his dis charge or not , a furlough of thrco month ? with pay nnd allowances going on , finally lidding hereafter a pound of vegetables to the dally rations. Is'ever were tljcro concen trated within the limits of a single bill so many Inducements for a soldier not to desert and for the recruit to enlist. Of special In terest Just now Is the Interpretation which the war department has put upon the legisla tion of congress and the rules which It has made to carry out Unit legislation , Tim llrst need was to determine how much the soldier should pay for his dls. charge under the new purcnaso system. On the 0110 hand It was necessary not to nmlio escape too easy und on the other not to llx a priM which ho coujd not reach by saving his pay for tlio purpose. Ono rational busls for computation WAS found in the average cost of recruiting n soldier , preparing him for service und transporting him to his post , .Another basla was furnished In the fact that a discharge u tq. bo free at thoendof thu third year , so that the purchase price should decrease Meadlly In approaching that time. The rule actually settled upon Is to exact one year of service mid then niako the discharge purchasable forf 1-0 at the beginning of the second year , thereafter reducing the rate * . * each mouth. In the middle of the second end year , therefore , it would cost f'.W , at the end of the second year $00 , In the middle of the third ypnr SIJO unc'so ' for intermediate months. It had gen erally been conceded that the discharge would cost IIH ) at least , and the present arnuiKC- meat seems a fair o 10. As the new law keeps bade $ -1 of each month's pay during the re cruit's llrst year until the end of the service as a guarantee against doortlon , this alone in sures hlinf iSatthocndof thatyeurtoward Ills discharge. Shouldhosave nllof hisllrstycar's pay , which is $1U a month , he would just about bo able to get frco with It , as he has his clothing account to settle , and so on , 13ut after the beginning of the second year every month will glvo him more- means and n lower price , so that ho may soon get to the happy equilibrium between his funds and the gov ernment's ' charge. Tlicro ore other interesting points to thii Just Issued. Tlio war v > . has construi'il tbo provision ' discharge after throe years servlcx with n three months' furlough , as rctroncllvo effect and applylngtoscl dero < l prior to the passage of the bill , cations for a discharge from solille , have served three years have nlreaA > m received and where the applications are ac companied by the proper certificate will no doubt bo granted. The whole tendency , in short , of tlio new legislation is to remove the fear of being tied live yours to n service that might prove distasteful , -ulih no alternative but desertion. mis Mir/riMonr coniT-MmriAu Secretary 1'roctor will llud upon his desk when ho returns from Now Ijiiglund the paiierjln the rvllltlmoro cnso.

Your correspondent has talked with some of the most active republicans In the house upon this suggestion , and It scorns to meet with considerable favor.
