Fcathcred Pugilists.

"More care is taken in the training
of fighting cocks than was ever spent
in getting Slugger Sullivan ready for n
match" said an old chicken fancer,
yesterday, in answer to the query of Il
reporter. The speaker handled the
birds" in nearly every prominent
main that has been fought in or near
the city. He was one of the few who
escaped arrest at the recent raid upon
cock-fghters at New Hunting park.
Neatly-arranged coops, containing fine
specimens of the feathered pugilists,
occupy the whole of the third floor of
his residence. When a match is az
ranged the training begins, and until
the battles are fought the chickens are
constantly under the trainers direc-
ton. The first object is to harden the
flesh and by exercise to increase their
staying powers. This is done by run
ming them back and forward on y
wooden table by the pressure of the hand
After certain amount of this eXer-
else the chicken is weighed, and if its
flesh has not been reduced enough to
satisfy the trainer it is put through an
other process. The chicken is tossed
several feet into the air, and alights on
mattress placed upon the table A
hundred times, possibly, the feathered
fighter goes up and down; when he is
put into dark but well-ventilated bar
rel. A couple of hours are allowed to
elapse, when he is again brought out,
and two little soft balls fastened to his
spurs. Another chicken is equipped in
like manner, and the two indulge in
sparring match. This continues sever
al minutes, and while they strike each
other viciously no harm can result, I'M
less one of the 'gloyesn flies of. A
feature of the training is the feed civ
en-. If the chicken needs little more
weight he is fed on raw beef. Roasted
corn and the white of hard boiled eggs
are the principal articles of diet, with
a loaf of spiced bread, containing eggs,
sugar, rock candy, and a variety of
spices, for dessert. The latter is eaten
with relish, The maximum limit of
weight of n fighting chicken is six
pounds, while the minimum weight is
four pounds. The sport of cock-fght-
ing, according to the old fancier, has
largely increased in popularity during
the past score of years, and he declar-
ed that not week passes without
rafting contest in some part of the
city. Philadelphia Record.

debris, which partially filed these de
serted homes, and would at first
thought seem TO indicate somewhat re-
cent inhabtancy. On the other hand,
however, the presevative qualities of
the atmosphere of this region are re-
markable, and it is the belief of the eX-
plorers that centuries have elapsed
since the last of the departed races oc-
cupied these old cities and villages as
houses.
The absence of weapons of war; of
works of defense, other than such as
are constituted by the selection of al-
most inaccessible localities, of temples
or idols, of heroglyphics or pictures,
together with the durability and solid
ity of the dwellings, so different from
anything to be found of the handiwork
of existing civilized races of that re-
gion, and the wide extent of these ru-
ins, indicating the existence of allied
races covering large portions of the
present territories of Arizona, New
Mexico, and Utah, as well as northern
Mexico, are the elements of the prob.
lens involved in the origin, history,
and disappearance of these races
problems which seem no nearer solu-
ton than when Colorado, nearly four
hundred years ago, made raid for the
purpose OF conquest among these
places and, through his priests, gave

The Market
MONDAY EVENING, April 7, 1884.

MONDAY EVENING, April 7, 1884.
The weather is bright and clear, but a
cold north wind has prevailed all day, that
makes outside work little unpleasant.

little better, and revival in grain and hay
may be looked for.
FLOUR-Easy and quiet. Stocks are
tair and prices are unchanged.
HAY-Receipts are moderate and the
demand good for strictly choice.
CORN-The market IS bare. Prices are
nominaly unchanged, but lack of sup
plies makes it difficult to fill orders.
OATS-The demand is light and stocks
large. Prices rule steady at quotations,
MEAL-Firm and unchanged. Choice
city finds ready sale.
BRAN-Scarce and in good request at
SOC.
BUTTER-We note a fair inquiry for
strictly choice; common is dull.

which is the outside figure offered on spec
ulation to-day.

and demand light.
APPLES-Choice are in good demand
and firm.

A Story of an Elephant.

There is beautiful story Of an old
elephant engaged in q battle on the
plains Of India. He was a standard
bearer, and carried on his huge back
the royal ensign, the rallying point of
the Poona host. At the beginning of
the fight he lost his master. The ma
hout," or driver had given him the
word to halt, when he received fatal
wound, and fell to the ground, where
he laid under heap of slain. The obe-
dent elephant stood still while the bat
tie closed around him and the standard
he carried. lie never stirred foot, re-
fusing to advance or retire, as the con-
flict became hotter and ferccr until
the Mahrattas, seeing the standard still
flying steadily in its place, refused to
believe that they were being beaten,
and rallied again and again round the
colors. And all this while, amid the
din of battle, the patient animal stood
straining its ears to catch the sound of
that voice it would never hear again.
At length the tide of conquest left the
field deserted. Mahrattas swept on in
pursuit of the flying foe, but the ele-
phant. like a rock, stood there, with
the dead and dying around, and the
ensign waving in its place. For three
days and nights ii remained where its
master had given the command to halt.
They then sent to village, 100 miles
away, and brought the Mahout's little
son. The noble hero seemed then to
remember how the driver had some
times given his authority to the little
child, and Immediately, with all the
shattered trappings changing as he
went, paced quietly and slowly away.
