so we frequently had to wait as long as two hours before the drivers shrilI "Abordo!" or "Es- tamos listosp snapped the thread of amorous conversation with comely inditas, trigue1itas and uerras-0f pleasing presence, ii they had only been clean. In trigue is the life of their life-to steal another's novio or win the transient but terrible affections of Ter marido, is feather in tie cap of any Mejicana, and brands her as being either very beautiful or profoundly au fait in knowledge of the human heart.

 Conversation having Jagged, bizcochuetas de semitilla were taken from fringed malettas and handed round. Whereupon my costalito filled with granaditas de china, opened its capacious mouth for all. The youthful electer pro- vided the company with Tepi- quenos, those famous little cigars of Topic. And we trayeled in cloud of smoke, from the effects Of which all slept, and awoke at

Upon the roof Of a rude church stood the elite of "CottonwoodS," lost to every thing earthly except the bull pen before them. A lean yearling of the male persuasion was the vic tim on that occasion, and his pa tience under affliction inspired his half.savage tormentors to let him go-aDother bull of nobler presence, greater age, and more formidable horns, was lassOed, biindfolded and led in, while four rash vaquer0s desperately held on to their respective cabrestras from the four corners of the corral. At a given signal four saddled horses were led into the arena and each vaquero hav- ing mounted, they slackened up, when the tOrro made a dash for @ vaquerO who wore a red sash, and before he could be reached by the matador, struck the va quero's horse and ripped up his bowels! You can imagine the excited crowd shrieking, cursing the drinkers flinging a way their mescal and rushing from the drinking booths to crowd into the ring around the pen. Shade of the Cid! this mischievous bull was allowed to run out of the corral dragging the three cabres- tras after him as tokens of victory, believing the while with defiant rage and snorting scornfuiIy as he galloped away.

A Circus IN A WHIRLwISD.-A dispatch
from Pittsburgh, Pa, says that while Howe's
London circus and menagerie was giving an
entertainment to five thousand persons in
that city, on Smoky island, bordering on the
Allegh river. on Thursday night, feal-
full storm arose of wind and rain, which
swept up the valley, caught the immense
canyasses and tossed them about like toy bal
looms. The scene that followed was fearful
in the extreme. The tent in which the circus
performance was in progress was hrst al
tackled and the wind lifted the poles from
their position in the ground. and flung the
shattered cauvnsses over prostr;iIed bodies OF
men. women, and children. Shrieks rent the
air when the canvas took tire from the petro-
eum lights about the centre pole, and the
scene was terrible. 70 add to the horror OF the
scene, the animals in the adjoining cara
van commenced to below forth in chorus
the most unearthly howis. In less than two
minutes the mammoth canyasseS were torn
and living PROSTATE on the ground. While
the fire failed 10 make any great Roadway,
OWN" to tile rain, which came down in tor
rents. the seats in the arena were swept
away. All escaped with their lives. Some
had their legs broken, and others were more
or less severely injured, although none, so
far, are reported as dead. One OF The ele-
phants got away and caused great excite
mcnt, It's several persons narrowly escaped
death from the frightened beast. The loss
to Mr.. Howe is considerable, inasinuch AS ne
can hardly repair the damage done TO JUSTIFY
an exhibition on the 4th of July.

TESTS UPON TOBACCO LEAvEs.--The re-
cently-publisAed report of the State chemist
Of Connecticut presents some interesting
statements of the results of tests upon to-
bacco leaves. The Hartford Post thus sum-
marizes them:
"The most highly-yulued leaf in New
England is the thin, tough, elastic leaf,
which burns readily TO ashes. Those leaves
that contain the most carbonate of potash in
their ashes burn the most freely and suitably.
In some combinations potash does not favor
the burning, and Schlocsing, the tobacco
manufacturer, is enabled to improve favor
and burning quality by artificially impreg-
Mating the leaf with acetate, citrate, or tar
trate of potash, applying the latter in Soll-
ton and then drying. Chlorine Injuries the

much hln and excitement out Of It as If it

WHAT CHARLES o'coHoa SAYS OF THE COURSE
/ fowsTo BE TAKEN. i r."
Mr.. Charles O'Conor, when asked yester.
day by the writer what action counsel would
take In the Walworth case, said:
"Well, / don't know; it is difficult to
say.' -.
"Will not bill OF exceptions be drawn
up and presented to the court on Saturday
next, when young Walworth appears for
sentence?' ref@1
"Oh. no. II Is not certain thata bill of
exceptions will be presented ut all. Tn any
case It isn't to be drawn up by that time.
Judge Davis said something about month
hence being set down for such hearing"
"Were you satisfied with the verdict"
"Not by any means. Why, of course, /
expected an acquittal."
"What does young Walworth think of
the verdct?" ..1..
"Why, poor boy, what can he think? 1t
was like applying spark to powder, and it
would be just as sensible to send the spark
to the State prison because the powder ex-
ploded. Here, he had always carried pis-
tol when meeting his father and, half asleep
at the time. who can be surprised at what
occurred?"
"And how does the Walworth family feel,
sir? ?"
They're a wonderful family. I knew
nothing Of them until was called into the
case. And Mrs. Walworth--she's wonder
full, she's splendid woman. She would
stand by if it were necessary and see her
boy hanged without shedding u tear; and
yesterday she heard the verdict without
flinching. Such a verdict could have no eff
feet on a woman like Mrs. Walworth. If
the jury had acquitted Frank, then she would
have wept. but not in any other case"
swell, sir, no action has yet been taken
with reference to bill Of exceptions"
No, we've had no time, even if one is
presented. Mr.. Beach is away in Albany,
and besides, nothing of the sort will be
done on Saturday,
"Will you tell me, sir, why you asked that
sentence might be deferred until Satur.
day."
"Well, now, if am going to be banged,
Of course l want all the time l can get to
make my will and do other matters of that
kind"
"But young Walworth is not to be hang.
