Tho bull ring at Madrid, tho Plaza do Too;:, is crovvde I with its lt!,'0O fqjectators; crashing music, punctuated by tumults from tho crowd, roariir bulls, de-afening cries of arpiadores with water jar3, old women with pomegranates tnnl oranges, now and then gliuqises tf lighters in tawdry glaring para pliri!alia, rcluj-s of horse-? and a profusion of tinsel; all this permeated with excitement end expectation. Tho Gacota has devoted columns to tho praise of a young torera a woman who rivals ill skill, agility and ar tistic strokes the muscular men who havo reigned hero; and thero is something novel for tho fiery southern children in having a woman risk her life in so daring and blood curdling occupation. Tho royal box is empty, but around tho forest of forms sit nobility and tho highest meteors of tho land. In a prominent Ikjx, r.r.d with tho party of a Spanish nobleman, enters an Englishman, anil his inflexible, almost sneering counten ance shares the rjazo that is riveted 0:1 tho beauty by Lis sido the cynosure of all eyes.

They cler.r tho lists, report readiness, a flag is v.r.ved, and tho music sounds a march a; the chulos enter, escorting two picadores. The former, commonly termed "cheats," serve to irritate tho bull and divert his attention. The animal rushes out, tho c-hulo flutters a bright c-loak right and left, this unsteady motion retarding the progress of the beast, and the former, on reaching tho barrier, leaps over.

The reason for this deviation in their flight was that Jir. l'ondodu'a red face, with his w!:iUj handkerchief ubove arid hisstill whiter shirt fiont bt low, rendered him conspicuous .v.'d visible from afar. T!ie first princiiles of venory bhouM havo impelled him to conceal himself, but ho ceemo-l uncotis-cious of the eifeet pHKluced by hij attire. lie cursed his ill 1 licit and scolded his little attendant, who lay 011 tho grass and looked at him with a mocking air. He accus:el him of f lightening off the gumo liy his everlasting talk. Ho moved olf and stationed himself elsewhere. It wan useless tho birdj continued to avoid him. Once, however, just ns ho rcUled down in his c:unp stool in n new place, ho saw a par tridge! flying directly toward hi;n. Horaise-d hij gun and fired as the bii-d parsed over h!a Lwl. A body '" 11 to the earth, but it was Mr. Fojidoiiu himself. Ho found himself lying 0:1 tho gremnd, his heel.? in air, tho 'ajiaeieius seat of Lis dignity crushing, with its weight, a largo cut hiil which he had not noticed when ho took his station in that spot. Tho first moment of stupor passed, Fondodu sa.t up, felt himself all over, and jumped abruptly to his feet. A swarm of small in sects wero eoursmg about h'u body. They were on his face, in Lis Lair, on his hands ard arms, while a number wero crawling up the calves of liis leg. He picked up his handkerchief, which had fallen off with his hat; after shaking it vigorously, he wiped off his face and neck in nil h;;te. During this time thor3 ants which had got under his limn had been gaining ground, r.;id to Fondodu it seemed as if tho smarting, twinging invaders wtre increasing in numbers each recond. Tho cejnfoundcd creatures appeared to tako an in fernal delight in stingiug him. Smarting from a thousand wounds Fondodu yelled, leaped end stamped about, to the great de light of the small boy, who was almost con vulsed with laughter. And still iho invaders advanced, even until . they reached the most secret reee.-ses of tho fortress. There was but one thing to do. Fon dodu's fingers were already twitch ing aiout tho buttons of his trousers when ho heard at a short distance the sound of human voices, among' which ho distin guished a peal of feminine laughter. Fon d da was modest cnongh not to carry out his intention of undressiug. Craved with pain, ho took to Lis heels. He had just recollected that at a short distance a pond lay hid among the reeds. Ho ran thither as fzst as his legs ouM carry Lhu, heedless of the call of tho jcridurmo hailing him. Ho skipped along, n .b dreaming that he was pursued. Iiis thoughts were far from the inarcchaussoe at that moment. "When tho corporal gained on him and calle-d for his permit; hj replied: "Here it is! Lore it is!'' without even know ing what ho was saying. V"elJ, juifc at that moment tho antj seemed extraordinarily diligent, r.nel he had applied his hand to tho seat of his pantaloons, while from his lips escaped tho heroic utteranco which tho gen darme had mistaken for an answer to hrj summons. The indignant corporal was on tho point of collaring Fondodu, when tho latter's littlo companion ran up, exclaiming impertinently: 'iSaj', you, what tio you want with ll'sicu Fondodu s" "Ah! his name is Fondodu i "Whoro does i ia liveT Tiie Ltd Fnccringly gavo hhn tho address, j lion which Eri;;card took from his packet h .s writing tablets, crying out: "I shall make a charge ogahiSu 3'ou, Fondodu!" lint Fondodu wes already far away, yon der, behind the reeds, where, elivested of ail raiment, ho was plunging his smarting body in tho water of the pond, finding ineffable delight in drowning his countless implacable enemies. fc ucli was tho account of tho affair given by the accused to tho court, which strove in vain to preserve its dignity, while tho audi once seemed to have forgotten altogether tho re;pcct dae to the auguct presence of justice. After hearing tho testimony of tho boy who accompanied Mr. Fondoelu, the judge, taking into consideration tho accused's pre vious good character, decided that there had been no intention em his part to insult a rep resentative of tho law. Uesides, as ho was tho hokior or a permit duly made out accord ing to existing regulations, ho was honorably discharged. Ho left the court room in tri umph, but considerably edified 0:1 tho im propriety of attempting to enjoy tho pleas ures of hunting as a sybarite, even when the weather is warm. J. Des Crouzets in La Cb.as.s3 Illustree. Translated for the Times De:rocrat. An Ambulance Sj'stem for Paris. Dr. Henri Naehtel, who worked to establish in tho ITew York hospitals a night medical service, has returned to America after a long sojourn in Paris, where ho has been making e'i'orls to establish an ambulance system like that in use hi all American cities cf any size. Thero is no such ss'stem in the French capital, and if any one is taken suddenly sick or in jured in tho streets, he is taken to the most convenient drug store. Word is then sent to a police station, and the patient is carried cn a stretcher to a hespitaL Since 1SS0, Dr. Xachtel has been trying to establish the am buiane'e system in Paris; he has been aided by prominent physicians, but every time when ho hoped the authorities would adopt it, the scheme fell through on account of the red tape that stood in the way. After mak ing several vain attempts, Dr. Kechtel con cluded to come to New York and raise tho money iu America for carrying out his pro ject. About flO,000 havo been raised in Paris, and Dr. Naehtel has been offcrod sub scriptions by a largo number cf Americans. Ue inte-nds to establish tho system in one prrt cf the French capital and to fchow tho authorities its superiority to any method. Dcn:orest's Monthly. Attached to Their Cemrtcria. On tho distinctively Christian festival of All Souls, the Freethinkers of Paris always join with the Christians in making a pious pilgrimage to the cemeteries. Tho French 1 people aro very much attached to their j cemeteries; nd even tho French infidels have i r.oS taken kindly to the substitution of j cremation f cr sepulture. One reason for this , j -rob-ably is that the national lovo of ostenta t'on can bo more fully satisfieel by the old ( than by the new method of burial. YACHTS AT REST. SLOOPS AND CUTTERS READY TO GO INTO WINTER QUARTEFI3. A VInU to the -lot of Scmtli Itrooklyu. AY hut u ViKlit I-ooLit Like AYlieii "IjiUI I'p" How tho Vi-hm-Ih Are Cured For AVtiut J5ecoiin' of tho Sailors. To realize thnt the yachting wason is in- deed over one need but visit the line of din ks extending along tho curve of the shore from South Urooklyn to liay Ridge. In that line tecro nre no less than VAt yachts of nil de grees now laid up for the winter. This num ler is lx;ing added to daily, ami lieforotho f-nvious wimLs of autumn havo snatched the last russet le-af from the bending trees thero will not lie left a single yacht in these wate rs in commission. The general publie? is apt to see only one side of the matters in which t heir interest is spasmodically and tempor arily absorbed, and that is, as a rule, the out side. liut if one really wishes to know what a yacht looks like when "laid up," he must go to such a place ns Teixs dex-k at South Rrooklyii. And what Ls she like? Mirw Reauty in morning wrapjier, with her hair in curl papers! She i-s strippeed of all that goes to enhance her charms. Hulk, main mast, liowsprit; that is all that is left of her; and she is swathed and bandaged like an old woman with tho toothache. The sentimental ist will lo inclined to shed a tear sho is so utte-rly desolate, helpless, lonely and lifeless. The mawkish poet, who spreads himself through six months and over much foolscap on the subject of "snowy pinions," etc., will exjierienco a pang of revulsion of fending, as if a cherished corn were trampled upon. Forenoon ljcauty, daylight stage shows and winter yachts aro subjects to be avoided in ixietry. This is a practical age, and when tho time of tho sailing of yachts is over the question that naturally is of most importance to their owners is how to take care of them during the severe season. To leave as littlo as pes sible of what is liable to injury exposed is what is aimed at, and when the yacht is towed reluctantly into the dock after her contests, trials and triumphs, she is straight way mercilessly stripied and left in the hands of the dockkeepcr. The topmast is housed, tho sailors are removed; the steering wheel is taken away bodily, and all these as well as many other odils and ends, as well as the small boats, are put ashore and locked tip in a storehouse. Then the hatches and aught else made of mahogany wood are covered with canvas; and frequently the bare spare are similarly clothed. A steam yacht is dis mantled in the same fashion; and all the brussweirk is as carefully covered with can vas as the mahogany. m MOST DISCONSOLATE OF ALL. "When in winter dress the single stickers look, perhaps, tho most disconsolate of all. It is in single stickers that public interest has centered of late, influenced by the interna tional and other great races in which theso have taken part. A se-hooner with the mo notony of her appearance relieved by two masts never looks so dreary as the single sticker, which by her metamorphosis is re duced in appearance almost to the plelieian level of a fishing coble. Sho is certainly brought to resemble the general style of the primeval boat; a chunk of wood and a bare pole. But apiearances are deceitful, nnd the tremendous capabilities that lie in that inno cent hull, when it is a Burgess model, would cause tho primeval boat builder to raise a hue and cry of "witchcraft." Some yacht owners adopt a more elaborate method of sheltering their craft. They build a structure tf wood resembling a little frame house right over the deck, so that all below is kept safe and sound. This moele, if more thorough than the other, is more cumbrous. It is also more exicnsive, for a canvas suit once made will last for several winters, and the wooden shelter house has to bo solidly built anew eac-h year, and for these reasons the simpler method is the more common. Tho great army of skilled seamen who manned the yachts i disbanded, aud its members scattered to the four winds, except in tho cases where the sailing master has been retained to stay by his boat during the winter. In this country tho sailors are gene-rally engaged for the season and do not sign any contract fer a nniuljer of years as they do in Britain. They are therefore here pe riodically, but it is safe to say that none of them want for winter work. Some go off on short coasting cruises; the others are sure to finel a "job" about the docks or in the multi farious elepartments of marine industry. The shippers, as a rule, rest on their laurels and prepare themselves to add to them next year. By tho middle of March, if winter does not linger too long, there will be signs of activity on the yachts once more. Workmen will swarm about their decks unloosing the un sightly bandages, completing their beautiful ttiilet and getting them into sailing order, and a month later, they will spread their white wings with birds and butterflies of spring. New York Tribune. Dwellers Under the Wharves. "The river gangs are mostly broken up now, still you would be surprised to know how many wharf rats there are at present 011 the water front of New York." So said Capt. Smith, of the police boat Patrol. From the captain it was learned that no less than hundreds of men and boys live or rather lodge uneler the rough planks cf wharves. Some of them -are pirates in a small way and own boats of their own. Others are knights of the tomato can order, and crawl under some favorite plonk to rest their weary bodies and court sweet sleep be side the swashing river. "They aro a kind of amphibious animal," said the captain, "and if they only were as fond of the external application of water as they are of living near it, it might pass for human. As it is, some of the most dangerous men in New York are wharf rats." New York Star. A Herd of Koflaloes. It is stated that C. J. Jones, of Garden City, Kan., has been hunting over eastern New Mexico and western Texas for buffaloes, and has succeeded in capturing thirty calves and one cow. These will be placed with the rest of his herd, making forty in all, and the largest now in the United States. They will be run on Mr. J ones' ranch, near Garden City. Mr. Jones believes that by crossing the buf falo with certain breeds of cattle, a new and more hardy variety of stock will be the rey sult. His efforts in this direction will be watched with interest by stockmen from all sides. Chicago Times. Practice for Quick Shots. The season for revolver practice has opened with new and novel features in revolver shooting. One of them is the Wimbledon target. This target was used in tho recent revolver matches cf the National Rifle asso ciation of Great Britain to test the quickness as well as the accuracy of the marksmen. It is formed into a rough out line of the human figure and is exposed to view only live seconds at a time. The chest is the bull's eye, while minor points are obtained by hitting the head and limbs.

Tho fh-.-t .-light uneasine:? and w-i;s, of discomfort gradually pussi-s into extreme restlessness, nce-ompumcd by the most pro found depression; the rtojnach l-ce-omrs hi irritable thut nothing can le retained, und there is a nausea and digressing sensation cf emptiness and sinking. The whole nervous svsteni. which has lcn workintr to lone ! under a deadening weight, abu-s its liberty and runs r.lwiolute riot; a breath of air whiel would bring relief to 1:11 ordinary sufferer is painful to him; so senitivo is the skin that a touch distresses, and even the eye ami ear are incapable of tolerating tiie most ordinary stimulation. To th' se troubles are added sleeplessness: tho patient cannot get a moment's rest; or, if he should close his eyes in sleep, horrible dreams and un indefinable terrer tako posses sion of him, u.id make him dread that con dition which others look to for consolation and relief. Incapacity to take food, pro longed slee-plessncis, constant sneezing, yawn ing and vomiting, painful aeuteness of all his senses and other trembles sink tho sufferer into a condition of prostration, and despuir, oidy to h relieved by morphia. Who then can wonder if tho wretch yields again to tho drug which has so long enslaved him? Hovering lietwecn a longing to lie fret and a feeling of incapacity to endure his ag onies, he usks reproachfully whether it is true that science has discovered no moans of relief, 110 substitute for morphia, which may be given him until the storm be past. No, we have no means at emr disposal which will do more than alleviate these sufferings, and if tho morphia habitue will be freed he must place himself under such con t red us run pre vent his giving way under tho trial, as he almost inevitably will if left to himself. Hut severe as the trdeal is, he has this con solation and this great inducement to submit to it namely, that it is. short. A few da ys will see him through the worst, and although he may not be comfortable for a week or two, his discomfort i:; endurable and liee-omes less and less, until it gradually passes into ease and health. Nineteenth Century. Georgeous Texan in "Washington. A Texan of some distinction came to Wash ington tho other day in what was considered for Washington a shabby outfit. Coming freim Texas he fancied ho was "got up re gardless." But when ho met his e-ongres-sional friend here the first thing the latter said was, "What in hell's tho matter, Tom? You certainly do look tough and shabby. You must go to 1113- tailor's and get a new suit of clothes before you can make an ap pearance in Washington society." "Why, what's the matter with yous" said Tom to the congressman. "I was up in your county the other day with this same toggery aboard, and they were going to shoot me for h elude." "That's all right at home," said tho con gressman, "but it is very different here, you know. Lexik at this," and the con gressman took from the wardrobe in his lodging a nice new e vening dress suit. "Great Jupiter!" exclaimed tho new arrival, amazed at the extraordinary cut ei the tiling; "and what do you intend to do with that;" Tho ceingressman explained that personally he was as much oppose d to foppery and con ventieiiiality as anybel v, but that the word had lately come from Texas that tho repre sentatives of the Lone Star state must lick the best of them in the matter of style at Washington, in consequence ef which every Texan now in Washington has provided him self with an evening dress, including diamond studs and patent leather pumps, that will take the shine out of anything else to be seen here during the coming winter. Washington Post. Agriculture on the Alkaline Desert. "Governor, do you ant icipate that thealke. line desert between Ogdeu and the Sierre Ne vadas can ever lie made available for ngri culture or anything else'" I asked of ex-hien-ctor fUaniord. "I thought it could not when we built the railroad, but now I am not sure that th; whole eif it will not at some day be green am", productive. We never knew when we came here that wo could grow wheat, anil for i long time obtained that commodhy f'ron Chili, yjt at the same time wild grass wa: growing up to the saddles eif the horses as w rode along i:i California. We finally beg.11 to grow wheat, but thought it e-ould not Li done without irrigation; experience showed us that in very many e-ast-s no irrigation at all was required to make a crop. I was v long time porsuading Brigham Young te grow some wheat without going to tiie ex pjnse and labor of ditching and irrigating. He reluctantly tried the exjierimciit, and found it a complete success. The alkali of our plains, I am assured, will one day come into market as a fertilizer for the east and the outside world. You know the formation of country beyond the Sierra Nevadas for ti great distance; it consists of estuaries of in land lakes, which receive the drainage of those interior valleys. There is a constant transfer being made of the surface barren ness to the bottom of the earth. I think i: will take no longer to make the plains beai than it took to make the east grow grain anei fruit. They had to cut off the trees and get away the stumps, and we have to deal witL another kind of obstacle." "Gath" in Ciu-c-innati Enquirer. Lotta and the Dressmakers. Just now I am at the mercy of dress makers, and they are in the aggregate the trials of a mind. Of course there are some who are mistress of their business, but as r rule they are poor failures. I can't under stand it, either. If a woman has to make 1 living as a dressmaker why doesn't she pu'. her pride in her work and conquer it. A sleeve, it seems to me, is a little thing tc make, but out of six modistes Sve will put if in a dress wrong. Ah ! well, poor women, they are the victims of the age in which the, live. The time will come when women wih roll up their sleeves and go to work, heart, hantl and soul, not only to get a living out o! it, but to dignify it. We Americans like U preach about the freedom of our people nnrl country, but for all that caste is as distinctly defineel as in far away Ilinelostan, and then is no such thing as equality. A shop gir' may be just ss good as a ietted daughter, but society prefers the pet every time. Chicago Mail Interview. Sleeping with Windows Open. II ere is what Professor Virchow savs anent tho sleeping with open windows: '"The vi tiated air can only rush out when the temper ature inside differs from that outside; it re mains stationary when tho air inside is al ready of equal temperature with that outside. In that ease serious complications may be the consequence, and many persons have paid their mistaken notion with their life Moreover, a certain ventilation takes place even with closed windows, namely, through the walls, thick though they be, provided they be otherwise well dried." -Paris Ameri can Register. - Of the 1S1 churches in the city of Edin burgh, 124 are Presbyterian. ho t-.iv.u-the Mi.s jjuaiity siij.j.i. ojotxl.S 10 Wili never T 1 10 p- ; RNI PARLOR IOU ALL chcs&$, (JO iVl lcre a liia'nilii TORE EMPORIUM H) (.'lit stock of abound 'UNDERTAKING AND EMBALMING A SPECIALTY OltNEIl MAIN AXI) SIXTH s (succEssoit to Will keeji cnnf-taally on hand 13 R il roingr- 0 r n . n r a; 1 a Drugs and ieoicines, A Vail Paper and p U R E L S.
