would have been worthy Of the finest
touches of a painter; but worn down
with the struggle, faint and weary, the
red gore rolling IN torrents f ON his
sides, he soon began TO writhe and trem-
bic with pain and weakness. Perceiv-

looked around me to see if any bo-
som seemed to beat responsive to my own
over a scene so repulsive and horrid, bnt
found it was JOY and gladness thro'-
out the assembled throng. A group Of
Lymanian ladies sitting directly in front
of me, whose excessive transports of
| delight had before witnessed, appear
ed now to have come to the very eli
max of their JOY and exultation. They
giggled necessarily and while coolly
and inhumaulv recounting to each 9th
er, on their favorite Spanish, the yari-
Gus rounds Of torture and cruelty they
had witnessed, seemed to evince little
Of that delicacy of feeling so becoming
to their sex.

usual preliminares for the interlude,

ICONS, gold lace and ribbands, but he
made bad start of it. At the very on

a more desperate and skillful adversary
than any Of his predecessors, the bloody
poinard was welded with to great ex-

the spears, and lances, and short swords

ed in torrents from his head and sides.
The next moment his body was to be
seen whirling swiftly through the broad
gate. After which little pause the fifth
scene of the day opened before us, and
this proved the most shocking Of them

what was to follow. The many thous

arena. 1t was a sharp two edged lance
of about the width Of mans hand
