Fi?hti?g (.aniic Cocks. ? o A reporter lias ascertained the particu- I lars of a dozen recent cock tights, which an exchange gives. It then tolls its ' readers something about the "manly art" of slaughtering these poor birds, I It says: If the cock is over weight, he is by j medicine rapidly reduced to the required j point, is shut up all duy in a barrel with- ; out feed, and at night brought out and j fed in a room, with a light, kept burning j all night, to accustom him to the*light, j and exercised in fighting other fowls j nightly, to give him {' -r >per training, ? i ..A i i. 4 i?.:. iUUl unri iiuuut it'll uujn iwivi m^nir? v/i such "moral and intellectual" aud " home training," lie is ready for the pit to "battle to the death," to he killed himself or kill his fellow. The time and [ place being agreed upon, and ^11 the | p eliminaries arranged, the greatest se- j cr.icv is observed to baffle the officers of; the law. The fowls are carried in bags, ! often for miles by their owners, and bv j railroad for a distance of fifty miles in ! some cases. Arriving upon the ground j or building at about midnight, a rough j inelosure of boards is made about ten j feet square and nearly two feet in j Hieight. The cocks are then taken by ' the heelers who cut olf their " spurs " ! down to about half an inch of their legs, and while smarting and bleeding they j are burnt with a red hot iron to stop the j flow of blood. A piece of chamois skin j is then bound on and long steel gaffs j from two to three inches long with a j point as sharp as a needle are bound j firmly on witli waxed ends over the ( stump. The birds are tlieu by the ; " heelers'* clipped of their hackle, pad- j die, breast and tail feathers, ami thus j shorn of their beauty, are put iu the pit j by the heelers who are their seconds, ; "bottle holders," spongers and mana- j gers throughout tiie tight, until the ; death of their " champion " or his fellow j relieves him from the charge. Death ! generally takes place in about five or ten j minutes at furthest. As soon us the fowls are put in the pit and catch a glimpse of their antagonist j they make for each other and the battle | commences amid the shouts and cheers j and laughter ox the mongrel crowd of j well dressed, wealthy, seem to be' re- 1 spectable, native and foreign element, , with a choice sprinkling of niggers, gin- t mill loafers and played out politicians, j dead beats and bummers of the surround- ; ing towns for miles around and the , hangers-on of "prize fights," Dead Rabbits, Five Pointers. Water street sharks ami dock rats of New York city. Im- j agine such a mixed throng as this j crowding around to see the dyiug strug- ; pjles of these noble birds?shoulder to | shoulder, and cheek to cheek in loving, ! brotherly embrace, straining their eyes! and ears, mounted on each others' j shoulders oftentimes, breathing an atmosphere of smoke, stench, bad whisky, j old pipes, butts of o^der cigars, foul breaths, and fouler oaths and words and obscene jests, and you only need the smell and contact of brimstone to make j this picture of a cock fight one of the j "devil's own." The long, sharp steel; gaffs worn by these birds soon wound each other and cover them with blood, j until, smarting with pain, they madly I rush and make desperate lunges at each I other's heads and eyes with these swords I of death, until they are driven through j i.~ i.1.^ i ?i ~ I<j uiu uuu uuiiiu t*nr>uuj> in u iiiumerit. A tight rarely lasts over five or ten minutes, in many cases scarcely a minute, the first thrust of the gaffs kill- ; ing in some cases. As many as twenty or thirty noble ! birds, images of which for years have ! been mounted upon many a church spire j throughout tiiis Christian land, are j cruelly killed by each other and their j torn and bleeding carcasses thrown out! to the dogs almost before life is extinct ; and their own murderous gaffs are cut off of the dying gladiator and fastened 1 in turn upon a "fresh fowi" to murder Ids fellow in return, to ploat the appe- 1 tite and satisfy t!^; I'eiuiish love of torture and put the coveted greenbacks in the pockets of the angelic throng. Hun- j dreds of dollars thus change hands nightly, money in many cases taken from working men and those whose families need every dollar id live in these trying times. One of the most noted cock tights of the season took place at Mamaroneck a while ago, in a farmhouse | ow?etl by one of tiie parties, in the day : time. There were gathered mostly the* wealthy sports of New York and vicinity j with a good representation from Greenwich. To guard iigainst surprise from Mr. Bergh and his officers, about twenty guards with muskets wore hired as sentinels. The fighting was continued all day and into the night, and thousands of dollars were lost and won. Several wealthy men from this place and vicinity were i badly bitten. No regiments encamped in an enemy's country over night were better protected by a continuous line uf surrounding sentries than these high toned sports. J>y a system of signals . they could be wjirned in time to put everything away, and when the officers cause upon them they would only be a . company of "innocent lambs" on a Sunday teacher's picnic in the bracing air of the country. The Cry of k'l)eail Heads." In a long article on "Journalism aud Reporters," the New York Kvcning Mai I says thus: It is the people and not the journalists who are "dead heads." In case anything more serious than stubbing the toe befalls a man,ho hastens to the nearest newspaper and demands that the editor j shall wield the pen and shed ink in his vindication or defense. And it" the jaded editor does not with alacrity espouse the cause of his "patrons" he will make an enemy for life. "Members of the press" are literally hunted down by all sorts of people who have axes to grind. The managers of a public meeting who do not liuit the reporters at the table, suffer stings of dis'.ippointmout; the judge, who sonorously blows his nose before reading his opinion, looks anxiously for the stenographers; the preacher who descants rmnn some snhiwt Imrpm spirit if the representatives of the press are not there; even the burglar on the way to the State prison covets a talk with the "newspaper" man. Yet the outside barbarian thinks all newspaper men are dead heads, and envies them the tine times they lnve in the way of free dinners and free tickets to all manner of shows. There never wa^.a greater mistake. People do not seem to realize that, on the part of the journalist, it is merely a matter of business; that the reporter goes to the places, so attractive to outsiders, much as the horse goes to the plow?because lie must do so. We venture to say that four-fifths of these entertainments are to journalists intolerable bores. The press is the victim of the public's rapacious and unceasing demand for services without pay.

The Curse of Opium Eating. One who subscribes himself "A Vie- (j tim " to the use of opium has recently asked what lie can do to conquer the w habit. He has my sincere sympathy, fi says a correspondent in reply, and I : w gladly give him an instance of a success- I 0 ful aud radical cure. I had the mis- j fortune to pay all the bills for years of ? an opium user, aud know well?by thou- j s; sands of dollars squandered through the g mental infirmities engendered from the ; J1 use of the drug?how terrible its results ; can l>e. The patient was of a robust j constitution, and of more tlmu ordinary | * mental ability. The reasoning powers ! c appeared to be little injured, but there 11 was a serious perversion of the moral ; w senses. Five years ago the patient was 1 c using Opium at the rate of three ounces i a a week, or three drachms of morphine, {v sometimes diminishing a third, and again ; J: sometimes doubling tlie average qtianti- j j, ty. Talk and persuasion had never j K availed, but at last something roused the j c unfortunate's self respect, and I re- ;a ceived a voluntary offer to quit its use, ju but I am free to sny that I listened with- 1 j: out any hope. ! t As I live iu a village, it was easy to ] ( notify the druggists not to furnish my | (1 household auy more of the drug, but I ; ' knew that it was easier for my patient j ? to promise than to perform, and took the j t precaution to interrogate those who came 111 about the house that I was not sure of j f what their business was, and if not certain ! to refuse them admission. With the ex- ! ception of one vial of morphine surrepti-1 a tiously introduced, I succeeded. I first | j. reduced the amount of opium to f an ounce a week, and then to / half the amount. When convinced i" that the victim was in earnest, j ? I called in a competent physician and an i t able-bodied nurse. The deathly pallor ! f and cold skin and sweating on the fore- j $ head, which indicate that the effects of :c opium have passed off, occurred at four " o'clock in the afternoon, and not until : jj nie uum evening um j. ne uowii xo siecp. ; n The first evening the fainting fits aucl v collapse of the system were checked by j * the use of wine and brandy, mixed, aud 1 ^ during the night we gave bromide of: i; potassium frequently, which produced j s an irregular stupor, the nearest ap- ] ' pronch we could make toward securing i sleep for tlie patient. In the morning I ' and through the day we used very strong j u coffee, which I believe is about the only j I remedy resorted to by homceopathists in j such cases. The bromide and the coffee j were continued for about a month ns the j 5 main remedies to allay the nervous irri- * tability. To induce sleep our physician In would ordinarily prescribe hydrate of j chloral, frequently substituting tincture of Indian hemp, in order to avoid any 3 injurious effects of the chloral. The o sufferer was an invalid for fully three j" weeks, and it was about two mouths be- |11 fore natural sleep could be fully restored j without the aid of narcotics. But little j u attention was paid to the food, the ; patient's fancy being usually deferred 1 a to. Once or twice during unusually ex-|'b cited nervous conditions assafcetida was j ? used with happy effect. j 0 I say to "A Victim," frankly, that the j ^ first struggle is a terrible one, and that i ti it-will be followed by weeks of acute 1 c nervous agony, when he will wish him- ! P self dead and out of the way. But if he j t will place himself unreservedly and j 0 trustingly in the hands of a judicious ; t] physician and hi3 family he can sue- 11< ceed. I think he had better let the men , $ who advertise to cure the habit entirely j] alone. ! c ? I r The District Soli00! Teacher. ; b I 1) The pathetic story of the Wisconsin j [, girl who was driven into insanity and - j c suicide by the drudgery of teaching a !Cl district school has already been told, j1 Her fate enlists the sympathy of the ! ^ Milwaukee Sentinel. " Five years in a ! ji district school," it says, " -will break 11 down the strongest woman in the world, 11 physically. Plowing, hod-carrying, ; Jj blacksmithing, buying and selling, writ- i j,' ing and preaching?all tlie employments j tl of men are eaiser than teaching." This j is saying a good deal. A teacher is or- : ti dinaiily employed in the school-room J1 about seven hours, and she has vacations j V of at least ten weeks during the year, j j She has less physical fatigue to endure j ( than workingwomen in shops or factories; j ii her working time is shorter; she has ! jf, more rest. It was not physical fatigue : J that unhinged the mind of this delicate i ? Wisconsin girl ; it was the discipline, ' c the worrying, the nerve-grinding^the I c soul-harrowiug ; it was not weariness of 1 ll body, but weariness of soul that tor- : y tnred and wore out her life. Probably 1 ( she did not have the ph^ieal basis lor ti any serious work in life, and, at all ' h events, she had not learned the art uf j? arranging her life out of school hours so ft as to get relief from her drudgery and j y worriment. The naughty boys and j ti stupid girls were never out of her head ; i Iter exhausted spirit worried over theiu ! in her dreams. Happily her sisters in i ()l this calling do not teach school twenty- ! c, four hours a day ; they learn to forget 1 fi for a time the things that annoy and i" fatigue them ; and so they find health, and not death, in their school-rooms ; ; t] indeed, they have better health than ij other workingwomen. li < _ ii Mcrcliaut Fleets of the World. ti The bureau Veritas, of Paris, has just . w published its general report of the mer- : u ehant uavies of the world for the years j r< 187(i-77.
