Cock Fighting.-The origin of cock fighting
is said to be derived from the Athenians. So
says the legend: When Themistocles, the'
Athenian general, was marching his army
against the. Persians, he espied two cocks fight
ing, upon which he ordered the men to halt
and addressed them as follows:
"Behold, these do not fight for their house.
ho d gods, for the monuments of their ancets
tors. nor for glory, nor for liberty, nor for the
safety of their children, but only because the
one will not succumb to the other" This so
encouraged he Grecians that they fought with
rsqionbIei courage, and obtained splendid
,icln-v; in coInmemoration of which cock fight
ing ordained by law to be annually pare
ticed by the Allenians.

"a terrible and singular disease has just

1t is an epidemic, and has received the name Of
the sleeping fever. The victim is suddenly
seized, without any warning, with an irresIstl-

interruption four, FIVE and sometimes eight
days, during which time the sleeper gives no
signs of suffering. When lie finally awakes,
fever commences, lasts f,on! sixteen To twenty
