MADHII > , May 25. The dreadful
scene of tlio tlay wasj however , to
omc. for a young Murcian bull of n
tlull mm color had iiotenteiedthotu'h
lie \vns already being tormented t > y
hia keepers in the cage. Scarcely had
liis comrade been dragged forth than
out he came into the ring with n
bound , lashing his sides with his t.u'l
and looking viciously round. The
"picadors" had by thh time entered ,
and on their blindfolded horses had
taken up their positions at the sidea
of the nag near the fence ; the "cap-
'
enders wore all in their places , and
Hie excitement was intense.
In an instant the creature was across
the ring , and had rushed at ono of
the horses. In vain its lider caught
the infuriated assailant with the point
of his lance ; in v.un ho pushed aa
hard as ho could to slave elF its terri
ble horns ; the bull would not bo de
nied , but in spile of lance , and rider ,
and horse's feet , pushed his horns into
the stomach of the wretched creature ,
and turning them round , actually rip
ped up the entire belly , teat ing out
the whole of the entrails and tossing
the rider into the air. Down went the
hoisu , and up rushed the "capeadors , "
succeeding in diverting the bulls at
tention ; but for a ni6munt only , for
he had cleared half the ring once
more and had.rushed at another horse
that ho sow , in front of him. For a
time it seemed as though this too must
share the fate of the oilier , for the
horna were under it , and the bull
could not bo kept off ; but by some
miracle the animal passed beneath
without doing inoro than upsetting the
"picador ; " and was upon another
horse before a single "capeador" could
come up. With more success , this
time , the huge horns were able once
again to disembowel the horse and de
throne the rider , and the bull was loft
free to attack a fresh horse , and to
servo it likewise.
To a stranger not a Spaniard , the
sight was now horribly revolting , for
three horses lay struggling upon the
ground with the whole of their insidcs
torn out , and the bull , from the ef
forts of the " "
"picadors , was bleeding
rapidly from ita shoulders. Worse
was , however , yet to follow. With a
roarofjthat 11 lion , the bull now dnah-
od over the ring once more. Ho had
seen the first horse he had attacked
trying to struggle from the ground ,
and ho resolved to attack him again.
Up ho rushed , and standing over the
wretched creature , whoso eyes had
been closed by bandages , ho began
once more to gore him , this time ren
ding open his neck and part of his
shoulders , and so pushed him against
the fence in ono mangled lump. Hap
pily the horse by this time was nearly
dead , but the sight of its torn body
was one which I could scarcely sup
port.Tho
The bull was evidently mad. So
said the Mudrillcnos , who for 'hat
reason now thought it was time the
"banderilleros" should cntcr and
run a risk of their lives. So , in obe
dience to the command of aristocratic
Madrid , the poor fellows with the
darts entered and began their desper
ate work. Ovurnutl uvur ngitln they
tried , at the imminent peril of their
bodies , to plunge in the barbed ar
rows , and over and over again the
plunging Dull made them fly for
safety. But their superior intelligence
gradually triumphed , and two by two
the darts were aflixcd , till , tearing
with nigo , the bull stood in the center
" of the ring tearing the "espada. "
"ft I What this gentleman's name was is
not so much to the point as that ho
was very nearly an amateur , having
been a lawyer in his earlier days. Ho
was not the ono who had entered at ei
first , and grave doubts existed wheth eirn
i4 \ er ho could kill the bull. However , rnhi
in ho came , made the usual speech , fu
and approached the infuriated beast. ifhi
The charges were duly made , and now hi
was the time for the thrust , when it tu
became apparent that without the aid lo
of the "capeadors" this "espada" had re
no more chance of giving a satisfactory
thrust than ho had of eating his ene
my Over and over again ho tried ,
with always the same rosult. Ho
would get his sword a little way into :
the neck of the bull , and then , leaving
it there , would dance away with the
animal after him , only to bo saved by
the cloaks of. the "chu'Ios"'or "capea
dors ; " then ho would have a fresh
sword brought him and try again.
From loss of blood the beast almost ;
fainted , and there was a pause.
Then came another rush , for the in .
domitable spirit of the bull was not
yet conquered. Another stab follow :
"M ed , but with only the success that it :
A' seemed to daze the bull for a moment
and make him fall on the ground ; fitill
that it did not kill him was demon tin ;
strated by the fact that the animal mo
got up and made another bound. The cht '
was .blood flowing enough 'even for
for them , for several men had been inn
hurt thrno horses killed hifl
slightly , , one
seriously injured , and the bull was inj
bleeding from a dozen wounds. Down hui
fell the Murcian , but not to diu he upi
rested. There was a cry for a slaugh on
terman to come up and strike the of
beast , and that official now stopped tov
forward. No sooner had ho done so the
however , than once more the poor' ho
brute rose and essayed to walk awav , do
bearing the sword with him. $ o for
cloak or man could now attempt to tin
attack. Slowly moved round the ring ovi
followed and surrounded bya crowd of , nd
butchers , disdaining them all , for
three or four minutes , when from loss
of blood , and without another fight 1
for life , lie sank to the ground for the sid
last time , and then died in agony. olei
I felt I could stay no longer to look onj
upon the rest of the "entertainment" era
the dismal slaughter had unnerved dill

"There is Tluul Stevens' oldhomo , "
s.iid a friend who was showing mo the
striking points of the city. I looked
in the direction ho indicated , and
found that a barber Dole and a wooden
Indian had taken possession of the
two front doors to the house. 1 could
hardly believe this to bo the plicebnt (
my friend removed my doubts by say
ing : "That's the place , rrhoro there's
a barber's shop and a cigar store.
There , where they shave you for 10
cents , Stevens had his law olliee and
won much of his fame and fortune.
He slept in the room under the caves
directly over it , and had the whole
house in which to entoiiain his
friends. Many are the stories that
are told of this great but queer
character , who lived alone and
compelled the respect of all by
the power of his intellect and the
force of his will. In this old house ,
and from his bed-room window , ho
first heard the news of the assassina-
tion of Lincoln. The old mail-carrier ,
who had for years trudged between
the railroad and the postollice , came
up in the gray of the morning on the
1-ltli of April , 1805 , after the early
trip to the station. Ho knocked upon
tlio ollico window , and Mr. Stevens
raised the one above it , pushed his
head out , and heard the mail-carrier's
trembling lips the fact that Mr.
Lincoln had been murdered. His
only response was : " .Betrayed again ,
by God ! " The window went down
with a thud , and Mr. Stevens was
soon on his way to Washington. In
the great political ovcnts which fol
lowed this appalling crime , Mr.
Stevens became the prominent figure
in American history , which ho do-
Three years later , when his remains
were brought from Washington ,
where ho had actually "died in har
ness , " and deposited in the little
churchyard almost in the heart of this
city , ho was known wherever Ameri
can history was read. In this little
common churchyard , a sort of "God's
acre , " whore there are no race dis
tinctions , and few buried who have
marked their names with prominence ,
oven upon the local history of the
place , his remains rest. Thaddous
Stevens , Jr. , is buried by his side. Ho
was a favorite nephew , by whom Mr.
Stevens set great store. He died be
fore his time from too much jolly
companionship , and now there is no
ono above ground to perpetuate the
name of the great commoner , and all
his accumulated wealth , something
like § 100,000 , will endow an orphan
asylum not far from the spot where ho
isg' buried. A monumental sarcopha
gus , hewn from Green Mountain
granite , quarried from the hills of his
native state , marks the spot. On
either side of the great pile , which
rises several feet above ground , mar
ble slabs are set into the stone , and
funeral drapery carved over each , as
the dark curtain which death had
hung over the sad story each slab con
tained had been raised and looped by
loving hands , that all who came might

, and if on every other one of nuI I
lieso were hung an electric lamp the laid
ntiro track could be do as light as sol

: the need of the expensive and to !
umbrous headlights , and to some ex- sei
, with the necessity for using oil to
imps in the trains. It would also ob
jpen
all dangers to railroad traflic that wo

be I things of the past. Obstructions
placed i by malicious persons on the
tracks t would bo seen at once ; or ,
were the malefactors to take the precaution -
caution of cutting the wires
before 1 attempting to wreck
the t train , that woufd at once extin
guish all the lights within tlio circuit
and give warning to the train officers
that t danger was ahead. Moreover ,
suppose the case of a train dispatched
on mistaken orders ; as soon as the
mistake was discovered , the operator
at the battery , could , by a simple
movement/ the hand , extinguish the
lights , which would be a signal for the
trains within his circuit to come to a
stand and wait for orders. It may bo
urged against the suggestion thataomo
of the lamps might get out of order ,
and remain so unless a close and expensive -
pensive 1 system of supervision wore
maintained This difficulty can be
met with the further suggestion that ,
by a simple system of lettering
and numbering tin ? lamps , the engi
neers of passing trains could report to
the next station what particular lamp
or lamps might happen to be out of
order. At any rate the plan , which
has been suggested by a practical rail
road man of great experience , presents
so many points of apparent advantage
that it must be worth examination ,
To the tmblic at lart'O it would cer
tainly give a greater feeling o'f secur
ity than is possible under the present
system ; and , if the economical ques
tions connected with it can bo satis
factorily adjusted , it would undoubt
edly bo considered a largo step in ad
vance.
JAMES BOWIE.
Auocdoto < i of tlio Inventor of the
Bowie Kiilfo , Told by Ono
Who Know Him.
Philadelphia Time * .
On ono occasion Bowie , whoso rep
utation had reached Memphis , arrived
by boat at that city , or rather at what
was then known as the Third Chickasaw -
saw Blufl's. The bank , from the boat
landing to the top , was about one
hundred and fifty feet high , and n
largo number of people were watching
the arrival of the strangers. Looking
lown , ono of them recognized Uowio
as he stepped over the gang-plank ,
and made fho remark , "Thoro comes
Jim Bowio. "
"What ! " shouted a big flatboat-
mnn , then known as the "Memphis
Terror , " as ho looked down the bluff ,
"what , Jim Bowie ? That's the follow
I've been looking for for months. Jim
Bowie ! Why him , I'll
whip him so quick he won't know
what hurt him. I'll ' whip him , if I
never whip another man as long as I
live. Stand by , boys , and see the
fun. "
Bowie came slowly up the bank. In
his hand ho carried an old umbrella.
Ho had no pistols , nnd was evidently
not expecting , or in fact , prepared for
a fight. This fact did not escape the
now thoroughly interested spectators.
Up went the ilatboatmnn promptly , ns
Bowie reached tlio top pf the bluff.
"Is your name Jim Bowie ? " ho nskcd ,
Bowie replied that it was.
"Then,1 shouted the ilatboatman ,
as ho squared off , "I think you nro n
damned rascal , and I'm going to whip
you right here and now.
Bowie wns a man of few words. Ho
stood and gazed at his adversary , who
was more emboldened than ever. "I
think you're a cownrd , " ho yelled ,
"nnd I'm going to kncck your head
off ; nnd so saying , the "Memphis
Terror" advanced to the conflict.
Bowie never flinched. His keen
eye was fixed an the "Terror , " who
nt this moment was face to face with
him. But ns the man of Memphis
drew a airk from his breast , Bowie
stopped back n foot and thrust out his
umbrella as if to I keep his antagonist
at bay.
The "Memphis Terror , " seizing the
umbrella with one hand , made a pass
at the inventor of the famous knife
with the other. In so doing he pulled
the umbrella to himself , leaving free
in the right hand of Bowie his mur
derous weapon , which to this moment
hi
had been concealed in the folds of the
impromptu sheath. The sight of arC
Bowie standing there , with the knife
in his hand and the gleam or ven- ti ,
gcanco in his eye , was too much for
"Tho " afc
Terror.
From the bouncing bully he became fu Cl
transformed into n craven coward in a V
second. His face turned pale and his
knees trembled , while the dirk dropped
from hLs hands ns ho gazed on Bowie's Bp
weapon with staring eyes. "Put it ot
up 1 ; put away that scythe , for God's ou
sake Bowie. I ni
.
was mistaken in my

a stop.
"Don't-don't kill mo ! besceched gin

I'll nttnck nn'
you never another man
long as I Jive. " bu
bup
Bowie looked at his now thoroughly fjal
bo
oughly demoralized opponent for a
moment , and than turning on his heel
with the expression , "Cownrd " nu
,
hut
walked rapidly away. Thenceforth
Memphis "ToJror was a changed lie
man ! , and until tlio day of his death fin
never Ipst the sobriquet of "Put- IK
" in'
up-thnt-scytho.
Bowie was very fond of musio and fill
dancing , and on occasions where ho cr
could enjoy both hu invariably ap
peared in the best of humor , nnd the
reserve which had begun to character Hut
him nt this time appeared to thaw KM
. It was on one occasion at a hif

soiidkions , that I Had an opportunity hy

tbout some of the encounters in
which ho had been engaged , Ho- Jin ,1
forring to the disparity in size bo- Tu
Lween himself and some of the men lie
whom ho had met in conflict , I asked
how ho regarded his chances un-
