He was somewhat stooped nud walked slowly. He had a benevolent expression, but looked melancholy, as It in trouble. When he came to where we were he stopped and talked with us some little time. "I might 'a' been home beforo this," he said after a while, "if I had walked along us I generally do, but I don't feel like It. Are you sick?" I asked.

"Oii.no, I s'pose I'm well enough it's trouble that alls me; my oldest boy, 'bout in Jail down at the Springs." Is that so? Too bad. What Is tho charge again. Mm?"

trVpm te t'ity TVmfn.l The lltllo Slexican pueblo of Teqeusqntlc, lu New Mexico, has had two important sensations wltlilu a year, and singularly enough the samo family have furnlshod both. It was a lovely mornlnj Inst July when Santiago Sancluz Uallegos dismounted from tho pitient burro ho hud been riding across tho prairies tro'u Puerto de Luna slnco sunrise nt ono of the lltllo sprlngB about a half mile from Teqousqtiltc. Kncol-lng down he rcf res icd himself with a long draught, and nfier doing so, stood up, grumbled a fow curses at thoelowness of his anmal, and then liters ly fell to pieces. Fust his right arm, then his left, then his cars and nose. To lie Lncf, lu few moments where lto us wholo had been Btamiltig, Santiago in fragment! covered tho giounl.

A tew hours later a couplo of sheep herders who were driving their Hocks to water cams uron the dismembered remains. Horror-stricken at tho sight, they abandoned their flocVs and fled to tho village, piously crossing themselves all the way, nnd at Intervals calling Upon "Kl buon Dlai" und "SintaSlarla" to protect them from tho 11 one whose foul work they wero sure thty had Just left behind. The slmplo people were soon urouied, uud In an alarmed state hurried to the residence of the padre. Ho assembled them In tho little adobe church In tho centre of the village, bid the sheep herders tell their story, and When they had linlshed he promptly rose anil preached an able tcrmon lu which no asturcd bis conereuatlou that San-tlago bad perished through tue visitation uf God as Juu punUhmeut for lefuslug lu pay tithes ti the churrh Mid padre. He tor bade anybidy to visit tlio spot where tho unfortunate man had died fur forty days.

At the expiration ot that period a pioiessiun, headed by the padre und au aiolyte bearing a teshcl of blessed water, whlt.li was plcutlliilly sprinkled all along the route, tuarehcb to the spring. All thev found th-re was a few whitened bone aud, tue spring had ill led up. Back to the church marched the procession, uuothcr dKronrse In wtiU the drlrd eprlug was alluded to In support nf the padre's and the mittir whs allowed to drop. But It wa a hardy who would pass by that spot af.er nUhifall or icfuie to contribute whenever levied upon. IhU ntts the Ural sensation, though tha facts hate only Jn-t como to light.

Another Stexlcan interfered and the young desperado llred what shots remained in his revolver at him. He died lu a lew hours. Both murders were effected so suddenly that before the peiploreiovtred from ttielr surprise tho lutirdeior mount' his home, hlch wua indlng saddled outside the lions-, and escaped.

No effort wae made to capture him. 'I he houe ot Joy became one nf lamentation and raourslng, aud the truth of the adage that Death lurks at a wedding least, was proven In this Instance. Two days ago some cowboys were riding along the trail through Tcquesqiilte, and ny the dried spring they found the dead body of Pedro Uallegos. Almost ou tho same epat where tils father hail so Singularly died the sun was now without a mark or trace of any kind to show how he had met his fa'c. The padro has declared that tnls was a Just retribution, and that he died from a visitation of tho deWl.

'ihts wus the second scnsatlou. THE LAST COCK-FIGHT. Und of Sport Which Many nil Old-TIuio Southern (iYiitlemuii I.oved. tfohm0fa Ltller to Aujjtula (Oa.) Chronicle. At the close ot the great battle between the gnmo cocks of North and South Carolina, fought In this city Christmas week, It was perhaps the end in Sonth Carolina of what was once regarded as one of the manly sports of the South.

In the good old cock-fighting days of tho past Augusta waa the central battle-ground of the Atlantic and Gulf States. Some of the greatest mains ever fought were contested at the old Lafayetto race course and at tho Old Shades, Justin rear of the Central Hotel. There gathered tue professional men aud the planters, the wealthiest and most distinguished men of tho country, who were patrons of the sport. They carried in convenient side coat pockets leather walleP, from between the leaves uf which protruded $100 bills freshly drawn from the banks to back their favorite cocks. None were allowed to participate lu the sport who were not considered gentlemen.

When a bet was made no money was shown. A gent'emun's word was as good as his money rm'll the right w.sencl-ii, when the loser product tue cash. Several mains were fought In Augusta, where SS, Oh) was wagero on the odd fight and tt'M on lach battle, while small fortunes were bet out-tide of the tegular stakes. Among tno finest breeds of games were the and War Horses, imported from Ireland; the Wllllsslakers, from Slaryland; tue Sioaefent.es, from Nortu Carolina; the Indian Doinlniqnes, from Georgia; iheOikleys, Horn Alanama, uud tho Blue Beds, ltedbreasted uud 8liawlnet.ks, from Sonth Carolina. Air of these were endowed with "staying" qualities.

Copt steel did not make them nervous. Death alono removed them from the pit. 'J hey were thoroughbreds aud highly nrlstocratlc. Slany of tlie.e strains am s'ill iaicd In various States, the most distinguished of those of the present nay bHng the famous breed. A fentleiuan, who nnwoc-cti lea a high place In his chinch, imported the first of this stock from Ireland along In lKs.

In those days dnu birds were often removed from their shipping cages in trinslt and rarer ones substituted. So careful was the breeder of these birds to have his stoox reach Its destination that he clipped several feathers from the under part of the wines and sent them by mall to the importer. When the birds arrived Iheir cithers wero placed In the original position, and as tney matched perfectly, the purchaser was sure that he had received the right birds. Although, as I said, this gentleman is now a bright ornament to his cuurnh, aie carries those fcatfers around with him to this day to rove that he lirst Introduced the voblcst strain ot game cods ever known lu America, Away back in the forties one of the most gallant men that evtr Uvea In the grand old county of Bdgehelsl, carried his retl-hreasted games to Slexlco and pitted Item against the Kinperor Santa Anna's famous black ulid'. The stakes on the contest were something fabulous.

'1 he result was a triumphant victory for the Soul a Catollnlau, anil the generous, though defeated, Bmperor presented his opp merit with a pair or gaffs the weapon of the game cock, constructed of the tluest Damascus steel, richly carved and ornamented. A few years later the Palmetto remment led the conquering army of the Union to the Slexican capital, ami the tlctory of the birds became the forttnnuer of that conquest that gloriously exemplified Southern valor on foreign field). As late as 1877 cock fighting received thesanrtlnn of many prominent South Carolinians. In that year a bill to prohibit It waa defeated In the Legislature. Three of the Senators, noted lor their distinguished gallantry lu war, their able services In peace and their spotless Integrity at all times, opposed the measure and killed it.

A few years later the Antl-Duclllng law was passed. This indicated a radical change In the sentiment of the people from ante-bellum ideis. Personal combats to settle personal differences were legally declared dishonorable, and branded as crime. A short while later cock-fighting ceased to be respected, and to-day Is prohibited and made odloua by law. An Odd (Superstition.

rick Murphr'Uol His Title. Ktigeno Q. Hlackford, wliosennme is known on two continents lu connection with everything pertaining to tho llshing industry, is a woll.prosorvod man about fifty yenm of ngo, nnda man hoin the nrld evidently bos treated kindly. In the retail fish department of Fill, ton Market ho may be found almost any day at about noon in tho cosy office in tho cejitio of his many stands, for hu is onu of tho larg. est fish dcalorn doing business there.

For nliuost flfteon years his niunti has beon conspicuous on tho ninny showcaves, mirrors and etnuds which form tho Hlackford IIhIi colony, nlthough for many ycnrH boforo ho served nn apprenticeship with Middletou, Carman whoso stalls adjoin his to-day. Wlion but fourteen years old Mr. Hlackford was started in tho ship. broking business in 1 tho oftlco of ARa W. AVoltlru, in South A street, and for more Ski than thrco yours wns Cm "us Then fix bo was inudo freight I c'ork tlj0 Hurtfor dt'GrV 3l BtcamorB, and later gftgiv AM S5 Borvod with the Mr5M di ntid Amboy llail-v road Company.

VOsrtiVVvv For two years ho was with A' 'l- st8wart at the Droadwiiy and Chambers street storo, E. o. nLACKFonn. finally recoived a bookkeeper's position with Miildlrton, Carman Co. It wns partly through the offorts of Mr.

Hlackford that an appropriation of nearly 200,000 was obtained to rebuild tho Fuiton Market, at that time in a state of du- CI1V. In May, 1879, Mr. Hlackford was appointed a member of tho Fish Commission for tho Stato of New York, and of that body ho is still a mombor. Ho is 1'resident of the Hod-ford Nntioual Hank, of Brooklyn. Ho is a popular club man.

A short tlmo ago delegation from Wash-ingtou called on him for permission to suggest his name for the United States Fisheries Commission, but owing to his many duties horo he was forced to decllno tho courtesy. At present ho is identifying himself with tho oyBter fisheries. As long as memory enn recall, refuse mutter of all kinds has been dumped into tho oyster bays, indiQerent tt tho plnnt and tho consequences. Ot Into yeors, it Is said, scows and barges, Instead of following the laws regulating tho dumping of mud and garbage, hnvo started from their docks at or nbout sundown, mid when darkness enveloped thera sufficiently to prevent identity their loads wero dropped, without regard to location. It is claimed that in many instances tho oyster beds were affected thereby.

In regard to tho first-named matter, Mr. Blackford has joiuod with Oyster I'rotoctor Joseph W. Morsereau in waging war upon the objoctionablo oil and gas companies with such success that indictments for polluting the waters of tho bay havo been found in two cases, of which dotailod accounts havo appeared in The World. With reforonco to the second matter, Mr. Blackford proposes and Protector Merscreau suggests in his last report that an amendment be made to tho present law that will make it criminal to dump refuse from scows or barges In New York Harbor othor than between the hours of sunrise and sunset, and that any citizen who discovers violation of that law be given half of the flno imposed.

It is bolioed that with such precautions taken the oyster beds about New York will flourish, tho oysters will be healthier and the people will bo benefited in inoro ways than one. Another prominent figure in' the retail fish department is Dr." Patrick Murphy. For thirty years ho has beon identified with the fish business both 1 in Fulton Murket and I beforo tho present vgJ structure was built. Itc soffiBjr Ho is tho third largest tt2rajtf dealer in tho building. jlf Beforo occupying his present quarters his placo was located in -X (ffit tho basement.

Then ffj Ms. he rented stands run-Ssf ning tho length of vj what is now Fulton Markot, from South iiunntv. street. His fathor beforo him, Patrick Murphy, was engaged in the same business at tho name place and wis ono of the most popular men in tho market. Patrick, tho son, earned the title of Dr." in a peculiar manner.

A big tonk of cod-liver oil is stationed at ono corner of his stand, and from hero daily hundreds of hot- ties are filled. The business from an imma. terial enterprise grew immensely, nnd at length the Ashman became interested in cod-liver oil. Then when a markotman within half a do7en blocks of tho stand contracted a cold ho hurried to Mr Murphy's, tupped tho tank and went away htaled. Gradually the sobriquet of "Doctor-" attached to him and so clings to-day.

To-diiy it's l)r;" Murphy everywhere, anil no ono knows who is wantod when tho gentleman is referred to ns plain Mr." Murpliy. Itemnrlinble Instance of Faltb Cure. yum ffce Kantae City Alar.

As an examplo proving that absolute fatlh somctunea does effect mar-vellous cure, I will tell you of an Intelligent lady In New York city who cured a goitre lu a mast mar-vellous manner.

In order to make tho cure moro certain, she said it was necessary to perform the terrible eit- Iierlmtnt without the knowledge of a single human eing. She afiernards told me that she had succeeded In stepping Into a room where a corpse was lying, and had actually been bravo enough to rub Its coid hand three times across her beck, blio said she had lerfect faith in the efficacy of tno treitment, and In two weeks thereafter the goltro had entirely disappeared.
