Newark and Hoboken birds fought a
main late OIL Saturday night on the out
skirts of the latter city, the stakes being
$100a side. The terms of the main were
that there should be eight battles at $50
each, the cocks to weigh from 4 lbs.
to 5 lbs, IA or, and to use
one inch spurs, The betting was
largely in favor of the Newark
birds and $500 or $500 changed hands on
each fight. The first battle was between
the limit weight birds, both being dark
reds. Newark o it In three minutes.
A Newark dark red and a Hoboken white
pyle, weighing six pounds each, fought
twenty-five minutes.
In the third fight the Newark cock was
the favorite at odds of so to rs. He was
laid out cold in fifteen minutes, however.
Newark came up smiling for the fourth
battle with a dark red, and offered odds
on him. Once more they were
in hard luck, for Hoboken
came out winner in ten minutes. Not
discouraged, Newark bet $40 to s. on their
bird in the fifth battle of the main. A
dark red represented them and a light
one stood for Hoboken. The Newark
bird gated Hoboken in the neck and laid
him out for dead. He came to life sud
denly and fought gameiy. AT the end of
ten minutes the Hoboken cock was nearly
cut to pieces. When twenty minutes had
passed Hoboken gated the wing Of New
ark and they could not separate them
when it belonged to Hoboken to do so.
The sixth and last fight was won by
Hoboken in two minutes. About 200 spec
tators witnessed the main.

A Brutal Policeman Who Clubs Dogs to
Danfh

Death.
The citizens on Washington street, near
Sixth, complain of the brutality exhibited
by a policeman, who found it necessary
to kill a dog yesterday. Although he had
a pistol and cartridges and the dog was
tied up taut to a fence, he dubbed the
poor animal for fully ten minutes. Sew
eral people demonstrated with him and
offered to put the dog out of its misery
for him, but he still went on clubbing,
job" A complaint will be lodged before
the Police Commissioners, and it is gen
orally hoped that the brute will be made
to answer for his cruelty, and for inciyility
when spoken to by a lady. Later in the
day the same officer found 1t necessary to
kill another dog which was suffering
from the heat. In precisely the same
manner it was killed, after repeated bang
ing with the cruel club. y

A Horn on Her Forehead.

Margaret Gryifth, a Welsh woman,
and the wife of David Owyn, had a
hard twisted horn, six inches in
length, and exactly in the center of
her forehead Exactly when and
where the Gryifith woman lived, or at
what date she was put on exhibition
I have been unable to learn, but that
it was sometime in the Seventeenth or
Eighteenth century may be inferred
from the following copy of the title
page of tract sold by the managers
of the show in the towns where the
woman was on exhibition: "Myrac-
ulous and Monstrous, but yet Most
True and Certayn Discourse of Wo-
man, in the Mydst of Whose Fore
head, by the Wonderful Works OF
God, There Groweth Out Crooked
Horn 6 Ynches Long."-John w.

Winged Portents.

When the nest of the thrush or
mavis is built unusually high in the
thorn bush in Ireland this betokens a
great calamity to neighborhood, for
some distressing disturbance is under
way among the fairies, who in happy
or friendly mood always see to it that
these nests are built near their haunts
in the grasses, that they may more
readily enjoy the music Of the thrush's
songs. The crops of sweet singing
blackbirds are supposed to hold the
souls of those in purgatory, especially
those exposed to Probationary fires,
until the judgment day; and whenev-
err the blackbird's notes are particularly
shrill, these parched and burning
souls are imploring for rain, which
never fails Of coming in response to
the bird cries for their relief.
The Wicklow mountains are notably
the haunts of the ring ousel or noun
tain stare. Whenever, after singing
his fine, deep song, he hesitates for a
time, and then is heard to utter loud,
shrill and prolonged whistle, that
night every human that has heard it
will remain behind barred doors; for
that is true fairy call, and the "wee
folk of Wicklow" are sure to congre-
gate in the moonlit hollows and
dance rings round their swate selves"
until dawn.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

HELM Yourself.

Fight your own battles. Hoe your
own row. Ask no favors from any
one, and you'll succeed a thousand
times better than one who is always
beseeching SOME ones influence and
patronage. No one will ever help you
as you can help yourself, because no
one will be so heartily interested in
your affairs. The first step will be such
long one, perhaps; but carving your
own way up the mountain you can
make each one lead to another, and
stand firm while you chop still an
other out Men who have made for
tunes are not those who have had five
thousand dollars given them to start
with, but boys who have started fair
with we'll earned dollar or two.
Men who acquire fame have never
been thrust into popularity by puffs
begged or paid for, or given in friend
ly spirit. They have outstretched
their own hands and touched the pub
lie heart. Men who win love do their
own wooing, and never knew man
to fail so signally as one who induced
his affectionate grandmother to speak
a good word for him. Whether you
work for fame, for love, for money, or
for anything else, work with your
hands and heart and brain. Say II
WILL" and some day you will conquer.
Never let any man have it to say, 81
have dragged you up" Too many
friends sometimes hurt q man more
than none at all.--Yorkville IS. O.

Tears on TOmbstOnes.

Tears on tombstones tell the same
tale as the lachrymatories of the an
clients; and if they tell it after a sim
pier, rougher fashion, l cannot see
that their mode of expression is a whit
more absurd than the one which clas-
sic association has taught us to regard
with gravity. Throughout Normandy
it is usual to find black tears painted
on the white grave crosses, and white
tears on black ones; for tears must
surely be signified by the Prince Ru-
pert drop shaped figures which are
placed under, above or about so many
memorial inscriptions. No niggard
weeping is indicated thus, and not
modern altogether is the symbolism.
There are tear like figures in the
Bayeux tapestry, on the bed where the
defunct confessor lies. | am much
mistaken if / have not sometimes seen
spots intended to represent tears on
that curious material Grape which,
botn in this country and in France,
seems to be indispensable to the outfit
of a complete mourner. Some time
ago remember reading in a newspa-
per that in Pere Ia Chaise cemetery
there is monument in the form of a
tear. The monument was erected by
a husband to his wife and bore the in
scription, Judge by that how | loved
her." l unfortunately do not remem-
Der the name Of the paper or the date.
