Of a bul 6gbt, with which the native Califor.
mans recently celebrated Ia fiesta de San Loren

his stand in the centre, paving the ground, and
waiting, with head lowered, the approach OF

Round I-Enter an hombre with blanket in
hand with which 10 blind the enemy. Toro
shakes his head and thunders forth his note oil
defiance. With bloodshot eve and streaming
~nostrils ne rushed at the foe; the blanket is
thrown, but falls wide of the mark-When the
saying that "a stern chase is a long chase" was
certainly not verified, for the poor hombre was
quickly caught in the rear and elevated, when
a display OF ground and lofty tumbIing took
place, which has seldom been surpassed. Torn
and tattered, with a limping leg, he makes his
inglorious exit through a hole in the fence
Loud shouts and Uipas went up from a thou
sand voices for the success of the ~favorite, for
strange as it may appear, Mr.. Toro was the
%favorite throughout all the fight.
Round 2-Poro came up to the scratch as
fresh as ever, the odds decidedly in his favor,
when an cabalLdro, desirous of renown. APP

blanket and inviting an attack. Nor was iR
called upon to wait-Iike the rnsh of thunder

Round 3-Enter the Achilles Of the ring,
brim full of wrath and bad whiskey, and had
scarcely advanced five PAGES from the barrier,
when the bull was upon him, struck him upon
the invulnerable "seat of honor," and pitched
him incontinently into the fence. where, stick

administered with great precision, sending him
through the fence into The laps Of the adniring

BISULPHITE or LIME.
NEW ORLEANs. September Isl, Is:

New ORLEANS, September LIST, 1887.
DERMIT me to invite your attention to the
L following in relation to the manufacture of BIZ
Sulphite of Lime, which from the first discovery
of the valuable properties it possesses as a de-
curative of cane Juice until this time. / have pre-
pared at the New Orleans Southern Chemical
Works, in larger quantities and of greater strength
than any other establishment My laboratory
contains every requisite for its preparation, and
neither labor, care nor expense is spared to render
it every year more worthy of the extensive pat
ronage with which it has been favored. Rival
manufacturers have entered into competition with
ne in vain, my Bi-SuIphite having as the sub
joined testimonials from leading city journals will
shew. always commanded from experienced
Planters the preference.
1t is unnecessary to remind Planters, as they
are already aware of the fact, that this Bl-SuIph-
lite of Lime, when properly used, never fails to
produce a beautiful white and yellow crystal
lied sugar that always commands the highest
price in this market, and the very best recon-
| mendation it can have with Western and other
| buyers is the fact of its having been made with
Bonnable's Bi-Sulphite, as they consider that a
guarantee against any loss in weight, and are al
ways willing TO pay higher prices for it. The
| high repute and favor to which the Planters gem
orally hold this Bi-Suiphite, is so much a matter
Of notorlety that it is quite unnecessary TO pub
lish here any of the many iattering testimonials
received ddIIy HUN tuOSG W 10 nave usCu Us HtAA
invariably succeeded beyond their most sanguine
expectations IN not only making the best sugar
ever previously made by them, out also in reali-
zing the highest prices with less loss in weight
than by any other process. Already large orders
are on my books for the approaching rolling sea-
son, my custo mers wisely taking advantage of
time, so as to have at the commencemont of su-
gar making a supply ON hand.
AS there is not South of Philadelphia so extern
sive and complete an establishment as the New
Orleans Southern Chemical Works; not one in
any manner comparable toit in capacity TO man
ufacture with the greatest dispatch and of the
strongest quality the Bi-Sulphite of Lime, | am
compelled to invite the orders Of Planters in adj
vance so that no disappointment may be expert
enced by old or new customers when sugar boil
ing commences.
The best and staunchest barrels have been pro-
vided for the Bi-Sulphite; they are guaranteed
not to leak, and when returned will be re-flled
and shipped and fifty cents each allowed from the
price.
Planters should be particular in ordering
through their merchants 10 specify that none but
H. Bonnabel's Bi-Sulphite be sent TO them.
All orders must be addressed

Corner Natchez and Tchoupitoulas streets.
TBarrels returned to be refilled, will be taken
from the Boats free of charge, and will be re-ship-
ped at no additional expense to the Planter, ex-

East week OF the Canvass.

The Clinton Democrat, in speaking of the
last week of the canvass, gives utterance to
the following truths:
This election is one Of no ordinary moment
Upon it depends the question whether bold and
INSCRIPTIONS men shall rule and direct the
masses for their W political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Whether trickery and cunning shall assume
the place of honesty and principle. Whether
their political rights and privileges shall be
made subject of barter and exchange. Whe-
ther they shall have a voice in the selection of
candidates for office or be forced like menials to
bow to the choice and dictation of unprineipled
political wire workers, and tricksters. There
can be but one reply to this. No, we have loo
long been imposed upon by this class of men,
who devoid of political honesty, themselves,
would i~nculcate the same laxety of political
morals into the hearts Of the people. We will
think and act for ourselves, and by our free and
unbiased suffrage show our condemnation of
them and their acts. Such will be their re-
Spouse spoken at the ballot box on the first
Monday in November, in tones too loud and in
numbers too great to be misunderstood.
Let then all be active and energetic; while
our gallant leader is working gallantly in the
other parishes of the District. let US not b. idle
here. With such a champion let there be no
faint hearts, but let the cry be, coward Sigur,
and victory r.

Ri.Surnhlte nR Limo.

Our contemporaries through the South are
unceasing 10 their laudations Of tie above in-
Valuble chemical product from the great South
eFn works of Mfr. Bonnabel. We refer our
readers, and especially sugar planters, to the
following article, taken from the New Orleans
Courier, of the 23d inst
BoNNABEL's BI SULPH1TE OF LIME -Insour
advertising columns is a notice TO the sugar
planters of the State, from the Southern Chemi /.
cal Works, so widely known and so populnr in
connection with the manufacture of that most
useful and valuable chemical product, Bi-Sul-
phite of lime.
Since the first discovery of the invaluable
properties Of Bf.Sulphite for the detection OF
cane uice, by the Belgian chemist, the manu-
facture Of the article BY H. BonnabeI, has had
such a preference in the market that it may
nov be said to be without a competitor, nots
wiiistanding the numerous endeagors which
have been made to divide with il the favor Of
the planting interest. The capacity of the
Southern Chemical Works 10 manufacture on
the grandest scale, the Tge capital employed
in the works, The talents of the operative
chemists to which the manipulalfons are en-
trusted, the liberality of the expenditures to
make the Bi-Sulphite equal 10 the best that can
possibly be produced. have all contributed to
confer upon Bonnabel's manufacture the pres
eminence 70 which it lays claim, and the public
award il. Oar contemporaries have all recorded
Their praise Of the Bi.Sulphite of the Southern
Works, and we very willingly and cheerfully
add our testimony TO that given by them.
