Liondon tjoolety. Tils Mirror aays: It is a current rumor la mnsieai circles that Levy, tbe cornetist, bas met with a most serious affliction. The report is that his lip haa been stricken with paralysis, aud no longer can he toot his horn. Diligent Inquiry at authoritative aources aeithew couflrms nor contradicts the story. Indeed, the tendency ot all reports 1 aather con-flrrnutory than otherwise, in the absence of definite information, however, it would be just as weil to suspend judgment on tbe Heating tale.

Theeoruetlst some months ago had dprnestle troubles, and aince then haa not been seen in his accualomed haunt. The plaid of his Broadway pantaloons and the wax of bis pi m. mustache have not lent their charm to the scenes that were erstwhile graced, or otherwise, by the presence of their possessor. In the search for the paralysed lip of the player, the Mirror found that Its reputed owner had gone to Europe, aod that hia present bauital as not known by any of his friends. It Was thought by some that Herr Levy's paralytic labial appendage waa In his itiiuJ rather than under his aose, and that the story may have lU origin in some playful hyperbole of the footer.

Other of hi acquaintance think It possible that be ha lost his "wart," 1. the callous formation that comes where tbe horn la pressed against the mouth. The theory is supported by the extremely probable fact that Mr. Levy haa had an enormous amount of domesticity In "lils'ii" recently, and hi nrotlo tendencies, being of approved existence, the -oft sibila-tions of love v-bicn he breathed were so laden with tbe caloric of his cardiac region that he blistered his "wart" away. Indeed, there is no lack of theories extant, aa these two are only sample.

Aboi-t four months ago Louise Montague, the fair enchantress who traveled with Kore-paugh's circus lust seaaxra la the questionable capacity of the original and only llO.OuO beauty, filed suit against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, praying damage for injuries claimed to have been sustained by herself in the course of a railroad collision at Rowling' Cireen. In her petition she asked just double her own quotation, or J2U.000, as a remuneration for her hurts, bruises, wrenches, Aa. In the Louisville Court of Common Pleas last Haturday this case came up for hearing, and Colonel Robert Wooleyftbe attorney for. the plaintiff, waa somewhat ns'onished when Attorney Lyttleton Cooks arose In the interest ot the defense and asked a dismissal of the case upon the grouud that it had been compromised between the plaintiff. Miss Montague, and the defendant, the railroad.

In support of thia statement t'oolce produced a receipt signed by Louise Montague and witnessed by Adam Forepaugh, In which the plaintiff declared that abe bad surrendered all claim held by her against tbe Louisville and Naa(ville Railroad Company, in consideration of SoOO, which abe stated had been paid cash in hand. The members of the Har were not a little surprised when Colonel Wooley stated tbnt his client had not advised him of any such compromise, and that to his knowledge the case had not been settled. The attorneys for the defense had not consulted with him in regard to the matter, and he should therefore object to a dismissal of the case. JudgeHtltessnstained Colonel- Wooley' motion, at least for the time, by passing the action for future consideration. His fee in the case was contingent upon recovery of dam ages, and it is pretty certain that hi fair ell ent'haa tried to eocher asm out of any com' pensauon.

Tb wnterof this bad a long talk about It with Cncle Jo Elliott, of the New York Herald, not long since, and will endeavor to reproduce bis recollections of tbe Hulllvsn, whose right name waa Frank Ambrose, was probably the greatest middle-weight fighter that ever palled shirt off la a ring. TI wa born in the County Cork, Ireland, aud.

Ilk all out-and-out pugilists, early: developed a for the manly art. Before attain ing-, hi majority be met and defeated all th flstlc colebrltes- of bl neighborhood, aud wae'about visiting Dublin tacki the best men ot the Irish metropolis when hi career was cut abort for tb time being, owing to th Government making a de- and for his services. This action was caused by his forgetting the rules of steam and (cam. for which slip of th mind he was banished to Botany He behaved himself so well in Ui antipodes that he was given a tlcket-of-leave. He mad bis cseap tb penal artUement on ship that was bound for Baa Francisco, then a Mexican mi.

Ther were wery few professional tighter of not in the eoun-tryaJLih time, and Sullivan, thinking that would not bo' interfered with If be re turned to th -ould dart," set gall for th "gem of th say." 'In Liverpool he attracted th attention of Jim Ward, then tb champion of JTAhn T--'it ffhs modern school of boXrTpu. and wa by.hlro taken to London, where was matched against th then renowned ljine? eonaidt cred th besfmldUle-welgat. loan. In England.

It was tn 'this tight that Rallivan acquired bis aobriqvet of Yankee by wearing the American flag around, hia waist aa bis Colors. Lan a was a tremendous hitter with lila right band, and had won-nil his battle with it. He gave it to tbe Yankee with sting, lug effect in the first two root ids of the battle, Imtlo tht third Sullivan "peasad" his left arm and Lane broke 'hi resiled mauler on bis elbow. Notwithstanding he had hut on arm left be fought toulllvan nearly an hour after, and nearly fit bis face into ribbons, but at last the Yankee oufTonglit him, and the hitherto invincible baunuerman waa compelled to cry yjeeeori. tiullivan, getting Intimation thattb aumontie -vtstsn sib." as ana oi from tb eonntry.

and arrived la America shortly after. TB fame bad acquired by beating Lan aroused th pride of a bold Briton named Vlnee Hammond, living in Philadelphia, and a match waa mad between tbem. They fought on an island below Phil, adelabia. and boUlvtn won with th greatest aaae. Aa Incident will show bow trie Icy was.

A good deal of money waa bet on first blond. Ia the first round Hammond gavaHnlllvan a amash on tne mootn in si nut tne lnsiae oi nis lips. He corn pressed tbem as tightly as possible, gnd In a moment baneed lace on the bom so hotly that th carmine sported oat In stream. "First blood for Kullivan," aald tb referee. "Here's teeond for Hammond," ejaculated Hulllvan, as he freed himself of a mouthful of the rnby that was almost choking him.

His next antoganist waa a Professor Billy Bell, whom ba readily larruped. After this battle he never met a man who waa not from ten to forty pounds heavier than himself. "Tom Seeor and Bob taunt both fell victims to his prowess, and. though be wa the acknowledged champion of America, be felt that tnere was still on man whom he moat defeat bet or he could rest assured that tb till waa his by right. That man waa Tom Hyer, aon of Jacob Hyer.

whose fight with Tom Beaaly Is th first recorded la Americas Fiatlana. Hyer bad Incurred Sullivan's annimuslty as early as IMS by bstUof his friend Country McCloaky on Uie Palisades, up the Hudson, and for even years he had taunted blm with tbe fact that as be had licked- th pupil should tackle the master. Hyer was willing atany time to try conclusions with tbe bold Sullivan ia tbe magio circle, but he bad old. experienced friend wbo beld blm back. They reasoned that as ba was ten yearn younger than Hulllvan, ha could afford to bide hi time, and did so.

Chance at length brought the men together. One night while in his cups Sullivan attacked Hyer, and got bested In the encounter. He at once challenged Hyer, wbo accepted, and a match waa made between them for 110.000, the largest, atak ver fought for In a prize-ring. Th country was wild with excitement over thisbsttle. George Thompson.

"Peter Craw-ley 'a Big Un," who afterward fought John Morrlasey In California, waa Imported to help Joe Winson train Hyer at McComb'i Dim, and be did hi work to perfection. Sullivan bad bad lack In hi training, being tqoubled with the diarrhea for weeks. Then tbe night before tb fight th polio broke into nla sleening-roorn I to arrest him, when be clapped a coat on bis trainer, Tom 'Don ell, and poshing him through a window. said: "Run, Hulllvan, ran as If hell had kleked yon." Tbe police eaugbt O'Don-uell, but Sullivan escaped. The fight took place on an island in Uie Chesapeake Bay February 7, 149.

Th fighter embarked on oyster pnngles, and were chased nearly all day by a United beat revenue cutter, which finally ran aground and gavejthem liberty. The day waa bitter cold, and Hulllvan was for sixteen hours cooped up alongside of a hot siov In the littla cabin of th pnngie. It was within an hoar of nightfall wben th party landed on tbe flgbtlng-ground. A th regular ropes aad stake had been left behind, a ring was built of posts cut from tbe adjacent trees and "ropes" made of clothes-line and bed-cords. Uncle Joe Elliott tried to get Hulllvan to procrastinate, so that darkness would come on and another day could be selected.

"TU them to hurry up the ring," was his response. Whea the men shook bands there was great disparity tn their else. rul-livaa was five feet ter and a half inches high, and weighed but one hundred and forty-five pounds, while Hyer was over six feet, and weighed one hundred and seventy -five pounds. The ground was -rough, and waa froaen as hard aa atone. Neither man planted any very effective blow in tne first round, and Hyer fought entirely on the defensive.

Hulllvan waa a great wrestler, and bla friend fondly declared that he "would break Hyer' lady waist with a couple of cross-buttocks." As soon as possible he closed and clinched with Hyer. and tried to throw him. He might aa well have tried to uproot an oak. Hyer braced himself firmly, and contented himself with merely resisting Hulllvau's endeavors. Hulllvan straggled and worked himself Into a sweat In his attempts to upturn the tall Bon of York.

Suddenly Hyer felt that Hulllvan had spent his strength for the time being, when, like a flash, he as-suniea the offensive, and. wrenching Sullivan from his feet, gave film one of the most terrific falls ever seen in a ring, and added hia own a-etght to him as he went down. Th back of Hullivan's head struck on a lump of the froaen earth, which almost crushed the skull In. cutting fearful gashes in it. Ho badly was Hulllvan hurt that one olVils backers wanted blm to give Id then and there.

He came to, and would not bear of tbe proposition. The second round waa like auto tbe first, except that the fall 'was not so severe. In the third round Hulllvan came up like a man who could hardly believe his own sensea. He rushed right at Hyer, and banged away at turn left and right. Th left missed, but the right caught Tom under tbe ear.

and he reeled and fell as if he was shot. This was the last spurt Hulllvan made. In tbe -succeeding rounds Hyer had every thing hia own way, and be beat Hulllvan to a stand still in short meter. giving him so bad a wbipoiug that he had to be taken to tlie Baltimore Hospital, where hia Hit was a expat red of lor several nays. Had Kullivan been -In better trim ite would, no doubt, have made a better fight, but the result would doubtlesa have been th earn, for be never saw tne day that he was fit to eope with Hyer.

He evidently thought so after the fight, for he never tried a second match with blm. Macon. nr. Vanderallt' Fast Hare. INew York Tribune.

After a visit to the stable yesterday aTribhne reporter called upon Mr.

Vanderbilt to ask him whether he intended to retire Maud from the turf. "Certainty I do." he said, bo cause I want to drive She holds the record. 210, as the fastest mare in the world, and although my stable hus th record of making 3:20 with a double team, 1 shall probably drive her with a mate, because she la so kind nnd gentle, and so well broken, that I think that either Ly-suuder, William H. or Leander will go well to the pole with ber. She will be ber to-morrow or the day after, I received a letter today from Balr, her trainer, in which he states tliat Maud haa been shipped doit in charge of the colored groom Charles Grant, with Her harnesses, sulkies, and all the clothing belonging to her." "Does Buir say in what condition- Mand "Yes; he writes that she ia In just as perfect a condition as can be." Bite was clipped early in January, and her coat looks very well.

He says that sue has been exercised carefully every day. and daring the tune be hashed ber she has never shown a mean trick, but Is perfectly kind and gentle ootb In and out of the stabler He expresses sorrow at the parting, becunse it seems to him as if he were losing a child." "What motive have yon in bringing Mand to New York?" "Well, as I have already said. I want to drive her In alnele and. doable harness. But to be frank with vou.

1 think that the record of 210, made by William 11. and Lvaander last fall, will be beaten. 1 do not think it was beaten by Mr. Work's team; although I ani well aware that he claimed for Dick Hwlve'ler aod Kdward half a second faster time. I nas my claim on the manner in which my trial wu made as against tnat of Mr.

Work's team, a be had no weights, and I do not think that tne time will slaud. By the action of the Na-. tioual Trotting Association at its recent meeting, the record of 21 was recognised in a general resolution, aud by that I claim the record on authority. 1 think It may be lowered by others, but I believe that Maud, with almost any ou of my- best horses, will be able to bring it down two, three or four seconds."

Tom-Ri-John gave several respected historical persons, more or less ancient, a very close race In achieving masculinity. Bat It Is questionable If Miss Jennie Westbrook, or Frances De Nye or whatever ahe may be called, does not in qniet way hold her own with any of them. They had her In the Tombs terdy, on a charge of vagrancy, and her record, as shown np there, will beat a beap of big fellows who started in the mala boain nnder mach more encouraging circumstances. Frances was not satisfied with donning the raiments and putting on tbe style of tb sterner sex. but she went to work plucklly at tbelr own pet Sb was a waiter and a book-keeper, and then, starting off as a com mercial traveler, she outsold, outtalked and outmaneavered a whole score of legltl mately organised drummer.

Not much fault could be found wltb Frances in making a living in pantaloons that was denied ber in petticoats; bat, suspected of Inveigling confiding young misses into unprofitable lollypop letter-writing and the like, she wa arrested by Detect! Adams. He could only charge'her with being in male attire. That accusation had no value in Court, and so she was committed for disorderly A wealthy gentleman, Mr. Charles Partridge, reading of thecaae and believing the proceedings unjust.

Messrs. Howe A Hummel brousht tb case before Judge Donohae and District Attorney Brady, who opposed them there, waa forced to admit the complaint waa defective. But Frances wa not to slip off so easily. Aa she could not beld for th heinous offense of being a woman an affidavit was submitted to Justice Power embodying tbe same statement of facts, but holding this time that sfae waa a vagrant, a being who, by a section of tue code, is defined to be "a person who, having hia fa pslnted, covered or concealed, or being otherwise disguised in a manner calculated to prevent his being identified, appears In a road or public highway, or in a field, lot, wood or inclosure." Miss De Nyse waa yesterday brought for examination before Justice Power, charged with being such a person. The manifest purpose and the newspaper reprobation it received vivuaus nw fig av ctvwu tvs.cbii uiss sue well era! (Sessions Court had to used for the hearing.

The District Attorney a feared by Mr. Brady to prosecute an unusual proceed- Ine in such a case and the mach I ner of hi office wa set In operation, while Anthony Comstock and Superintendent Jenkins, representing private crime-preventing. enterprises, hovered balef ully shoot. The prisoner- petite, pale-faced and sharp-eyed, with close-cropped iialrand boyish visage was brought in in an ulster and round fell hat. Mr.

Howe asked for tbe original papers in the case, strangely they had been lost. Mr. Brady thought them immaterial, Mr. Howe the contrary. Both had to do the beat he eon Id with the warrant of commitment.

Then Detective Adam wa put on tb stand and testified. He was on the police force on February istb, and on that day arrested tb prisoner on th Bowery; knew Bergeant.

A QUr.TTIOH OP KXAKKKHT.

Ther were objections by Mr. Brady to this line ot examination and a persistence by Mr. Howe in following it up. Adam went on then: He had arrested France on the aide-walk la frost of the Bowery, and had made affidavit that lie found her there in male attire; he bad made no charge ot vagrancy at tbe time, but had embodied In his affidavit all his duly called for; he bad made tne new charge of vagrancy on the morning of the 21st before she was discharged, but believing she would be so; he had come to th Tombs to make the complaint in answer to a note: he did not know wbo sent it; did not know if tbe prisoner had sent It to call him to appear acalnst her. "is that as true as every thing els yon said from Mr.

Howe. "Yes." from the witness. When he arrested her she had men's clothed on. but her face wa tlie same as in Court. It was not painted or covered or concealed.

Waa she dtsgu.ed? She had on a coat and pants and bat. Had never seen a woman with such a hat. "I have, then." said Mr. Howe. Then Mr.

Brady rose and said the arrest had been ruada under the code. Adams bad de-sc(ibed the prisoner in a way that prevented ber being Identified. "Being otherwise dla-guised." in tbe wording of tbe section, covered The caw. Dr. Mary Walker aud Mrs, Totn-Hl-John did not seek to disguise, but to advertise, themselves.

Their cases were not analogous. Mr. Howe appealed to the Court. "Read that statute yourself, he said, "and then say publicly that this case comes under' any of these provisions. Donning female attire can aot constitute vagrancy.

This woman did it to earn her living. She has been waiter, bookkeeper and -salesperson. All her employers speiiit well of her. She sought to couceal her sex. not to disguise her identity, for to all she appeared male attire, and in such all knew She has been arrested before on a charge embody lng precisely tbe unit facts.

TO TBE EOITOB Of TBE SKQCIBKB. The revolt in Hungary (n 1848 against ths Austrian Government, which held tbe people of tbat ill-fated land in a bondage worse, if possible, than tbat which the Irish complain of by. created tbe most Intense Interest in tbe United States. For a time the rebellion bid fair to be a revolution, and had not Russia Intervened in carrying oat tbe principle Of the so-called "Holy Alliance" a compact to crush out freedom on th Europe aa Continent, and to mak abso lute tb divine rigbt of Kings to rale according to their arbitrary will Hungary would thia day hav had a place aad a name among tb nations. of th (earth.

But she is still the vassal of th A us. trian. Th noble efforts of her sons, -who poured out tbelr blood like water, was bat of little avail. Daring that strife, and as one ot the leading cause of it, not ven tn the novel of Harriet Beacher Stow wer human beings treated with more ferocious barbarism than wer the white men of Hungary by tbelr Austrian masters. In" absorbing Hungary never was the -coll of the anaconda drawn tighter around its victim with mora crushing effect than Austrian rule! crushed th energies and liberties of the Hungarian people.

They were treated as a conquered people, having no riahia that the conqueror was bound to respect. Ther waa a semblance of freedom, in th Hungarian Diet (the Parlia ment of the land, but the members elected by Austrisn bribe and threats and Govern ment influence were always In a majority to do the will of tbelr masters. Tb tariff duties were so low tbat all trsde, except that with Austria proper, was cat off. All goods manufactured in. Hungary had to pass through AustrlaD hands and Austrian lerrl tory, and no goods could be Imported, not even to aid the manufacturer, but from Austria proper.

Tbes and similar outrages were loudly complained of. and excited deep feeling against Austrian rule. No newspaper could be started, except by Austrian license. A lieen had been granted for a weekly newspaper; because tbe proprietor was a man' of small caHber, and no danger -was apprehended.

When Koasuih waa arrested th Diet passed resolutions asking for th releas of Kossuth and other political prisoners arrested and convicted because they were hi friends, bat for a time this demand was treated with silent Fortunately, th Diet alone naa in rig lit to vols supplies to carry on vus Government, and with aenile legiaiatpr the Government got-ail it aaked.

As member of the Diet, Kossuth prepared an address to tb King ia favor of giving Hungary her right aa a State, and that th aame liberty be given toother Austrian Pro v- Luces. This address passed tb Lower House, wber "Kossuth, with bl burning eloquence, supported it by voice and vote; but It failed in tbe Upper Boost.

Au American war steamer, the Mississippi, sent out by tn United States lor the purpose, cut short difficulty by bringing tbe fugitive to th United Stale.

From the moment ot his isnd-lng In New York to the hour he left to visit England Kossuth's preseuce in all pans of tue country waa a continued ovation.
