he WAS 4 NAN oF KALoR.

Colonel Michael c. Murphy, who has gone over
to the majority. held high places OF trust and
responsibility in New-York, and for a long Sc
ries Of years devoted and hard working
servant of the dominating element in Tam
many Hall Arniable in disposition. kind heart
ed and we'll meaning, the number of his friends
was by no means inconsideFable. But Battery
Dan" and his downtown hordes treated the
good natured district leader with lamentable in
gratitude. They stabbed him in the back, and
their treachery wounded him beyond hope Of re-
covery.
The former head Of the Police Department
will be remembered in later times, however not
for what he did or Left undone a politician
and an officeholder, but chiefly for his remarka-
bic exemplifcation Of the ingenuity and skill of
New-York surgeons. Fer ten years or more he
took no food between his lips. He could not
swallow nutriment, but was kept alive by food
forced into his stomach through a silver tube.
II was not an easy or comfortable existence.
but Murphy had no lack of pluck and sand.
He fought against the old scythebearer with
abundant courage His case was exceptional
that medical and surgical journals here and
abroad may well take note Of it. He never
finched, and he held to life with rare per-
tlpacity and resolution. Few hraver men ever
followed the sonfalon Of Richard Croker.
