A BULL FIGHT. nUOTAIi PASTIME IN THE CITY OF MEXICO. How tho Contests are C onducted and the Participants— Torturing the Poor Brutes. It WM a bright, warm day in the City of Mexico. The people came to the gates of the Plaza del Pasco in crowds, as we see them at a circus—on foot, in the street cars and in carriages. The prices of admission were sls for boxes T seating eight persons; $8 for smaller boxes holding eight persons ; $1.50 for general admission "a sombra," or on the shady side; seventy-five cents for reserved seats in the barrera, on benches contigu ous to the ring or "palco," on the shady side about the best place except iu mo meuts of excitement one may be jostled or otherwise inconvenienced by over wrought Mexican neighbors—and lastly, twenty-five cents for general admission a sol," or in the sun. This portion is rather more than half the expanse of the arena. It has benches like the grand stand of a race course, but is unsheltered ! from the sun, and the benches are there fore comparable to the "bleaching 1 boards" in a base ball park. The attractions of this particular bull fight were said to exceed that of any i previous corrida for a long time. It was ' . to be a "grandiosa corrida," in which six ; r magnificent bulls of the ganaderia del Veuadero were to be killed. That much | was promised; furthermore, six bulls' were held in reserve, to be substituted in case any of those first entering should show poltroonery. It was to be a genuine fight with enraged bulls. For | the information of the dilletanti it was 1 made known that the bulls would beun- ; der inspection the Friday and Saturday before the fight, having been freshly re ceived from the Hacienda del Medio, i owned by Seuor Mora. The company of bull fighters were of exceptional merit. The espadas, or swordsmen, the captains—those who finish the bull by an adroit and courage ous blow of their long, straight swords, i sheathing the blade by one sure thrust, up to the hilt if possible, in the animal's body, just at the junction of the neck and the spine—these espadas were ! Gabriel Lopez, whoso pet name was "Mateito," Cayctano Leal ("Pepe- j ►. Ilillo"), and Raimundo Rodriguez, the latter of Valladolid in Spain. He was the representative of the Spanish school of bull fighting, which differs somewhat ; from the Mexican, as the method of at tack by the bulls of this country is not the same as those of Spain. An cspado is the chief personage in the combat, and is sometimes called the matador or the ! toreador, though the latter appellation may stand for any one of the principals who take part in the bull fight. There were seven baiulerillcros, or dartsmen, whose place it is to aggravate and torture the bull by throwing darts int his back and fore shoulders. The darts arc about the size of walking canes, j covered with tissue paper or ribbons i finished in rosettes and armed at one end i with a barbed spear. When it has ; penetrated the hide of the bull the barb keeps it from falling out. It may remain upright, though every movement of the animal will cause the long handle of the dart to sway. The banderillcros arc bound to throw the darts or banderillcros when the bull is charging, for which purpose they must ; face him. No sneaking or hurling unawares is allowed. Those banderillcros who have acquired fame or exhibit some j peculiarity of action are honored with j pet names. The seven engaged for our "grandiosa corrida" were Jose Cortes, j Francisco Carvajal, "The Chicken," Francisco Pardo, "The Leveler," Satur- j nina Sanchez, "The Locksmith," Yin cento Ferrer, said to be the most courageous and alert in all Mexico, and j Louis Leal. Lastly—or rather firstly, for it develops upon them to begin the combat—wo had four picadores or horsemen—to be exact, j lancers. They ride upon decrepit horses, | jades whose labors upon garbage trucks ■ is ended, animals purposely intended for j destruction by the goring of the bull. I Being blindfolded over the left eye they | can be made to approach their fate on j that side with but little spurring. As for the picadores their left legs are pro- j tected by sheet iron armor, impervious to the horns of tho bull. The lances carried by them are ten feet long with stubbed blades, intended only to wound and worry the bull, not kill him. Our brave picadores were Francisco Parente, "the Artilleryman:" Gregorio Cortes, "the Orange-Seller;" Martin Fernandez, "tho Portuguese," and Gervasio Perez, "Three Calashes." There was also another official, a pun tillero, whoSc duties I could not exactly make out. Those who have attaiucd i the degree of banderillcros act as capea ' dorcs, that is swing in front of the bull long capes of red leather, to worry him and distract his attention. A bull fight is a tragedy that ends in the death of the bull. He is foredoomed to destruction; but first his adversaries, j not less than eight or ten men, properly | armed, play with him. To that end the j combat is arranged in three acts. The j first act opens with the appearance of the bull in the arena, where the horsemen, the picadores, encounter him. A bull must make three impalements upon the horses—otherwise it is no fight. It hap pens occasionally that a bull, perhaps from association on the farm, declines to look upon the horses as enemies. The capcadores then try to excite him by waving their crimson capes in front and the picadores trot lamely beside the ani mal and punish him with their lances. If he refuses to charge the horses, and moves off, perhaps, toward the door as not inclined to show fight, he is con demned for cowardice, upbraided with wild shouts from the spectators and in the end removed to suffer later death at the hands of the butchers. These attacks upon the horses, with the resulting impalement is the least dis play of courage that will render him cli. giblc for a glorious deatli in the arena. The more frequently and the more fur iously he advances upon the horses the better is his repute with tho audience. There is the same murmur of admiration that we hear when a close race is in prog ress between two horses, the same excit ing cries that mark an exceptional stnig \ gle on the ball field. A delirium takes possession of the spectators. They shout: "Anda! Anda! Vivaeltoro! Que bonito Bravo Toro!" and other exclamations of delight. The horses disposed of, wounded, dis emboweled or dead, they arc withdrawn and there is a moment's rest before act second opens. This is wholly givenup to the placing of banderillos inthe body of the bull, and the actions of tho eape dorcs to divert him from taking ven geance on the tormcutiug banderillcros. Lastly, just before the strength of the bull is exhausted or his rage made im potent by fatigue, there is another pause. Act third, the finishing stroke, by the spada, or matador, who single-handed plays with the bull and at an opportune moment, when the an :, ual is in full career with head lowered and eyes aflame, the sword is delivered at the junction of the neck with the spine. If well hit the bull falls and dies directly and the toreador is hailed with heaven-rending acclaim. If not well hit the beast goes stagger ing about, perhaps bellowing in agony, and meets death from the 44 cachetero," a sort of butcher having a lance-headed dagger which he plunges just back of the horns between the°first and second vertebra. Therewith the bull drops ; the three acts of the drama cud with his death. Let us have it all over again un til six bulls meet destiny in this way, and the sun is low, and shadows and dark ness have covered the arena.—[Detroit Free Press. Some Furs of Great Beauty. A Southern fur of great beauty is the chinchilla. It is found on a dear little animal with big, black eyes. The chin chilla is only about nine inches in length, with a five-inch tail; its hind legs are longer than its fore legs, and its ears are as long as its head. It makes a delight ful pet, neither biting nor seeking to es cape, but it is not often seen alive in the North. The fur is long, thick, and crisply entangled, but as it reaches the market is smooth ami as soft as down. The fur is best when she animal is taken in the cold heights of the Andes, but it is found all over Chili, Peru, and Brazil. The colors arc gray, black, and white, so richly shaded as to make it one of the most beautiful of furs. Inferior squir rel skins are worked over into "chinchil la." The best squirrel comes from Sib eria. South America and Africa each contribute to the recent fad for monkey skins. Fitch, popular long ago and recently revived, is the fur of the European pole cat. The animal is dark brown above, yellow-brown below, with black tail and legs. The bears have been pushing their way through to the fashionable market latterly, and last year became a favorite fur for shoulder capes and for trimming seal and other furs. The cinnamon bear, a pure brown and very long-haired fur, has been most used, iu its natural color, and re-created into varieties of bear or which no hunter ever heard. The dark, silvery-gray fur, falling apart in little bunches and looking suggestively like the fur of a drowned cat, is said to be from the badger. The raccoon, brownish gray, with black or brown markings, the Perry wolf or coyote, the tiger eat from South Amer ica and Hudson's Bay, the stumpy-legged wolverine with the pretty fur, and the vicious but handsome Hudson's Bay wolf are all diligently sought that their fur may be made up into the elegant robes that make half the delight of sleighing. For the sleighing which did not come fast year a lady had made to order a Gar bage muff after the pattern of her grand mother's, a foot in diameter and a foot and a half in length, of sealskin, price SOO. It looked like a baby seal.—[New York Times. A Wonderful D scovery. One of the most wonderful discoveries in science that has been made within the last year or two is the fact that a beam of light produces sound. A beam of sunlight is thrown through a lens on a glass vessel that contains lampblack, colored silk or worsted, or other sub stances. A disk having slits or openings cut in it is made to revolve swiftly iu this beam of light so as to cut it up, thus making alternate Hashes of light and shadow. On putting the car to the glass vessel strange sounds are heard so long as the flashing beam is falling on the vessel. Recently a more wonderful discovery has been made. A beam of sunlight is made to pass through a prism, so as to produce what is called the solar spec trum or rainbow. The disk is turned, and the colored light of the rainbow is made to break through it. Now place the car to the vessel containing the silk, wool or other material. As the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon it, sounds will be given by different parts of the spectrum, and there will be silence in other parts. For iust.iucc, if Die vessel contains red worsted, and the green light flashes upon it, loud sounds will be given. Only feeble sounds will be heard when the red and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other colors make no sound at all. Green silk gives sound best in red light. Every kind of matcriul gives more or less sound in different colors, aud utters no sound in others. The discovery Is a strange one, and it is thought more wouderful things will come from it.—[Golden Days. Only One Chinaman in the Late War. E. D. Cahota visited Libby Prison War Museum a few days ago and inspcc ted the curious relics of the war. Mr. Cahota is a native born Chinaman. He has lived in this country nearly forty years, having left the land of his birth when only six years old. Long before the Chinese Exclusion law was dreamt of he had proved his fitness for the duties of American citizenship by taking up arms in defence of his adopted country and marching to the front. Although but fifteen years old when the war broke out, he declared that he was over age and enlisted in the Twenty-third Massachu setts Volunteers, under command of Colonel Andrew Ellwood—the only rep resentative of the Mongolian race amoug the millions of men thus facing each other in a struggle for life and death. Cahota was an unique character. Un der fire Cahota proved that he was made of the stern stuff, for his bravery was commented on during various engage ments, notably at Cold Harbor and in the building of General Butler's signal station in front of Petersburg. At the close of the war Cahota was mustered out along with the survivors of the regi ment, then under command of Colonel Raymond, of Murblcliead. Since that time Mr. Cahota has devoted himself to j business, there being little in common between him and the ordinary Chinaman beyond certain race characteristics of feature. In speech and dress he is an ordinary citizen. —[Chicago Herald. Rebuked by a Baby King. Here is an old story in a new ciress. It is told by a Paris writer for the Phila delphia Telegraph: There come from Spain the most cheer ing accounts of the health of the child sovereign Alfonso XIII. He is growing fast, is once more strong and lively, and, in fact, gives no end of trouble to his mother and his governess by his exuber ant spirit and hcnd-over-hcels ways. Just now he is enjoying the baths and sea breezes of the lovely seaside resort of Concha, aud wheuever his small majesty makes his appearance in front of the royal bath house he is saluted on all sides with ofie- of "Long live the king!" A comical story is told concerning his behavior in church. He has been often reproved for toughing and talking loudly during divine service, and has become | quite exemplary in those respects. A few Sundays ago he accompanied his mother to the service at the cliurch at Concha. The priest whose duty it was to preach the sermon was a stalwart and energetic ecclesiastic, and he got excited by his own eloquence, and banged the pulpit cushion and shouted out his denunciation of the wicked in a very vehement style. At the first pause there came from the royal pew a little piping voice, remark ing shrilly, 44 L00k here, man, don't you know it is very wrong to talk out loud in church?" THE RIVER OF LOST SOULS. A March That Gave Name to a New- Mexican Stream, Over three centuries backward and be fore inquisitive I)a Soto had lighted his camp lires on the banks of the Mississippi the Spaniards had achieved two settle ments in this land of the Occident— Santa Fe and St. Augustine. They had no knowledge of the country which lay between these points or its inhabitants. As to what might be tho dangers and deadfalls of a journey from one place to another, they were as blandly ignorant as of the history of the moon. But this ignorance affected them not, and full of the uneasy spirit of the hour a military party in Santa Fc resolved on an overland expedition to St. Augustine. They knew the distance, for they could figure the latitude and longitude, and they could get the distance by the compass; but this was the sum of their knowledge. The expedition, numbering some hun dreds of men, left Saute Fe late in the Summer, and crossing the mountains at Raton Pass, the present route of the San ta Fe Railroad, they camped that Winter on the present site of Trinidad. The grass was long in the valley, the game was plenty on the hills, their own stores were ample, and, sending back to Sante Fc for miustrcl and glee maiden, these gentlemen of the sword got in as gay a season as they ever have since. Those old dous were lads of spirit and possessed high hearts as well as a taste for travel. Before them to the eastward, as far as eye could sweep, spread the desert un confincd. What was to be met thero they knew not, but their lack of knowl edge was coincident with an equal lack of care. With the melting of the snows in the Spring sunshine the women and camp followers returned to Sante Fe. Tho last hand was waved good-bye, the last adios was uttered, and the explorers turned their resolute faces to the work in hand. Tlicy marched down the val ley of the little muddy river which llows, as you read this, through the town of Trinidad. The ones who were to return to Santa Fe watched them for miles, as- , sistcd by the glint of the sun on steel cap ! and harness. At last they were hidden in willows far down the valley, and this was the last that was ever known of them, j With the last flap of the last banner it was as if they had marched out of exis tence, and whether they suuk in rivers, perished in the drifting snows or were done to death by Indiaus was never told. No sign or trace ot this expedition or its people was ever found. There was some thing so eerie and mysterious in the complete disappearance of this band, something so dark in the silence of their fate, that the superstitious Spaniard made the sign of the holy cross when he recalled it. With that effort at com memoration which was the spirit of that time, tlie little muddy torrent in whose valley the lost explorers last were seen was called El Rio de Los Animas—"The River of Lost Souls." This was the Span ish name when Sublette, Chouteau, Bent, j Carson, St. Vrain, and other represent- ! atives of the French Fur Company of St. Louis first saw it. Knowing nothing of the story and assisted only by their inferences drawn from the name, these translated the appellation into the Pur gatoirc. When the jocund bull-whacker of the overland trail got to it, in his free-and easy French ho called it "tho Picket wire." Every brand it ever had still sticks, and to-day you will find the little vagrant of a stream pursuing its glistening mission to the sea with as many names as a member of the British House of Lords.—[lvausasCity Star. The Nimble Swiss Cow. Its cows and goats are the pride of tho Prattigau, iii Switzerland. No people in Europe is so rich in them. Each lias her boll fastened by a broad strap and great brass buckle, in whose size the owner glories as our ancestors in their shoe buckles. These bells arc carefully chosen; each has a different tone, and so serves to identify the animal, as well as to trace it should it stray. The t inkling of the bells as the herds come dowu from the mountain pastures in the late afternoon has a never-failing poetic charm, and no doubt many a wanderer in the pathless uplands has been led by their sound, as I have, to the hospitable sennfnUte , and a guide. Most of us have laughed over the cow who 4 'lowed" Murk Twain's guide into Zermatt, but one learns to think with resncct of the cow as a mountain-climber and even as a guide. Your Swiss cow will go with ease where her herdsman does not like to follow. She never seems in the least doubt about the next step. She will find the shortest way to get any where where there is a bit of grass or shade. She rarely slips, never falls, and I have watched for several evenings one who regularly jumps two fences to make a short cut on the railroad track in spite of the herdsman's vigorous protests.— ("New York Post. Vaseline as a Shoe-Cleaner. It is not generally known that tho easiest way to clean shoes or rubber over shoes which have become muddy is with vaseline. A little "swab" of llannel on the end of a stick is good for this pur pose. Even if the vaseline touches tho hands, it forms a coating over them so that the task is not so unpleasant as it otherwise would be. Such a dressing as this is sufficient for some fine kid shoes but others may need a coat of polish. If the polish is put on after a coat of vase line it is not liable to crack the leather and it lasts much longer. Rubber over shoes, especially, look much better and last much longer if cleaned in this wny than if tlicy are washed with water.— [New York Journal.

Do men ever fall in love with each other? I Women do. Not long ago a youug woman in New Jersey was married to a youthful la borer on her father's farm. Sometiuv after ward it was discovered that the husband was a female; the young wife refused, however, though earnestly entreated by her friends, to give up her chosen consort. The strangest part of the discovery was the fact thut the bride knew her husband was a woman before i she was led to the altar. | If men do not exhibit this strange infatua j tion for one of their own sex, they at least i oftentimes give evidence of the fact that they love one another. There are many instances ; on record where one man has given his life for another. There are many more instance.-: were meu have given life to another. It is a proud possession—the knowledge that one has saved a precious human lite. Meriden, Conn., is the home of such a happy man. John H. Preston, of that city, July 11th, 1890, writes: "Five years ago I was taken very sick, I had several of the best doc tors, and one and all called it a complication of diseases. I was sick four years, taking prescriptions prescribed by these same doc tors, and I truthfully state 1 never expected to get any better. At<this time, I com menced to have the most terrible pains in my back. One day an old friend of mine, Mr. R. T. Cook of the firm of Curtis & Cook, advised me to try Warner's Safe Cure, us ho had been troubled the sumo way and it had effected a cure for him. I bought six bottles, took the medicine us directed and urn to-day a well man. I ani sure no one over had a worse case of kidney and liver trouble than I had. Before this I was always against pro prietary medicines but not now, oil, no." Friendship expresses itself in very peculiar ways sometimes; but the true friend is tht friend in ueed. A Chinaman Who Fought tor Us. Edward Day Caliota has the unique distinction of being the only pure-! blooded Mongolian who served in the war of the rebellion. In 1857 Captain , Sergeant Day, of Gloucester, Mass., ! purchased him at Shanghi for twenty- j one Mexican silver dollars. He was | then but 6 years old and received his name after that of his master and the ! vossel over which he was captain. Ed ward was given to him as a convenient handle. Returning to this country Capt. Day placed Caliota in the public schools at Gloucester where he wao re-! ceiving a good education when the war began. Cahota then enlisted, serving until the end and at all times display ing unwonted bravery. At the end of the war he enlisted for eight years in the regular army, subsequently settling on a lunch in Colorado. He lias since acquired fortune and recently returned from Europe where he had been on a wedding trip. His wife is a German lady of good family.

Well I" That's the way you feel after one or two of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets havo done their work. You feel well, instead of bilious and consti pated ; your sick headache, dizzi ness and indigestion are gone. It's done mildly and easily, too. You don't have to feel worse before you feel better. That is the trouble with the huge, old-fashioned pill. These are small, sugar-coated, eas iest to take. One little Pellet's a laxative, three to four are cathartic. They regulate and cleanse the liver, stomach and bowels—quickly, but thoroughly. They're the cheapest pill, sold by druggists, because you only pay for the good you get. They're guaranteed to give satis faction, every time, or your money is returned. That's the peculiar plan all Dr. Pierce's medicines are sold on. Can you ask more ? DATEASTQ ?
