A Baltimore Girl Gives Her Impres- sion of the Brutal Sport. A Baltimore girl, who faints at the sight of a catapillar, turns green at the flow of blood, and is in every way of most gentie and kindly nature, thus writes home about her visit to a bull fight—the ocecassion heing the farewell to Paris of the prince of matadors, Louis Mazzantini ‘'At last T have seen fight, and T trust my last. You could not have borne it five minutes, and I scarcely know how I did. “Imagine an immense arenn, 22,000 people pocked in circles, while above mnocent little white clouds tloat- od over an intensely blue sky, At tinies the tender-hearted clouds shut the sky entirely off from all view of what was going on beneath in the arena, while frequent short April-like show tears (%) fell from them, and it hoped soothed the wounds of the raged bulls that succeeded each other to death. The occasi vus Mazzan- tini’s farewell to his publie, which has made such a hero of him, Not only had fatted calves been killed in his honor in appraciation of fatted bulls which Mazzantini had killed with such glory, but hats and handker- chiefs waved, presents of silver, of gold and jewels wers thrown to him after his little’ speech of farewell and flowers, in forms of wreaths, bonnets and hearts, soon covered the gore-stained ground. Ofall these gifts the only one this Spanish grandee noticed at all was a simple bunch of violets. This he stooped to pick uv, and kissed in the direction of the fair dame who had thrown it. His two valets raised the more valuable gifts from the dust, while Mazzantini himself never deigned to even glance at tho rich jewels seat- tered at his feet. ©It wasa wonderful sight, exciting past belief. . T am glad to have seen it, for I learned something, but the one lesson completes the course. Il seo no more bull fighws, The Drchcstrx\ played the music of ‘Carmen’ as we came out, and I stopped to study the faces of the audience thata few min- utes before were in the extremes of ¢ citement, shouting and hissing, when the poor bull, terrified and smurting, tried to save himself instead of show- ing the proper amount of fight, and re- membered that I, too, at the moment had risen to my feet and vejoiced when a well planted lance, whichl I thought was costing the picador his life, as he stood directly in front of the bull’s horns,pierced the bull’s shoulders just us he lowered hishead tostrike. Then the marvellous Mazzantini leaped over the head and stood quietly waiting until the now maddened crenture turned on him with sufficient ferocity to satisfy the most exacting hisse; “Nothing can express to you the in- tenso artistic aspect of the performance. One has to see it to understand the s ence of these superb men. They walk with the dignity that princes are sup- posed to have, in and out of the jaws of death—u leap not any higher or less caln than just enough to keep them this side of eternity. The little scarlet cloak, their only defensive weapon, and with this alone, they lead the in- furiated animal 1o the exact spot where they wish to kill him, and then kill him, not at any haphazarda mo- ment, but only at the signal given by the president. In Paris they do” not kill the bull in the avena, but when the signal to kill is given, the matador’s personal danger is all the greater for not killing, as he must touch the bull in the vital spot above the head between the shoulders, just as the bull lowers his head to gore him, thus going through the form, after which the bull is taken out by oxen ana killed out of sight., Each bull, whichis of a very high breed, belongs to some well-known Spanish senor, and is worth a good many hundred dollars, But they say it cannot tight twice, as it must be put an end to; the honor of the family to whom it helongs is at stake by the way it tights.

A Servant Girl Who Wishel Her Life in Prison, One day recently a nurse in Budpesth took her ¢harge—a baby two years old —for an airing, Being absent an un- usually long time, search was made and tne girl found, her clothing being wet and soiled, She explained that while walking with the child she felt that a pettty theft she had commitfed would soon bhe discovered, and rather than be punished for such a little thing she thought she had better do something that might keep her in prison all her life She had been very hdppy in prison when there before, she said, and hoped to spend the rest of her days thero if she threw her master’s child into the river. She bought the child some cakes and made her laugh by holding herover the water on the bllll{( of which she stood. Then suddenly she dropped the baby, and the current caught her and carried her off. Before the child had floated many yards she saw her sink. The servant girl did not show the least re- peutance, but carefully inquired whether she was really to be locked up for life. The mother hoped that the girl had lost the child, and that her declurations were untrue; but the river side was searched with torches and the body of the little one found, to Pass —— Do you feel bud 1n the morning? want ao appetite? dry imperial wine.
