Women as Bull-Fighters.
From Lippincott's.

After the season of the principal
bull-fghts is over, second series is in
augurated in Madrid, and in this stout
young Amazons take the places of the
hardy brutes who usually play the
matadors. These herOines bind up
their abundant hair with ribbons, and
around their bodies wear wicker bot
tomless barrel, which protects them
against the most furious assaults of
the tormented animals. These women,
when dancing before the bulls and ex-
citing them to combat, look more like
ponies walking on their hind legs than
human beings.
They are frequently thrown high in
the air, and now and then come crash
ing in their osier barrel down upon the
spectators. The animals chosen for
this minor series of combats are ordi-
nariIy young, and their tormentors
avoid killing them if possible. The
rings are frequently invaded by crowds
of amateurs, who are provided with
long, flexible poles, by the aid of which
they leap over the backs Of the mad
dened bulls that rush at them. A few
Years since children were introduced
in the rings in combats with bull
calves, in which the poor, little, mis-
guided human creatures were some
times crippled for life by the calves,
whose play was too rough.

A French Murderer's Confession.

Billoir, the man charged with the
murder of the woman whose body, cut
IN several pieces, was found in the
Seine some time ago, has at last con-
fessed his guilt. He states that his VIC
tim having returned home drunk, a
dispute arose, in the course of which
she inadvertently or wilfully broke s.
glass he highly valued.
While she was stopping to pick up
the fragments he gave her kick in
the chest, and she fell down ifeless.
He passed the night and part Of the
next day by the corpse, without know
ing how to dispose of it. but at last cut
of the limbs, broke the spine with
chisel and hammer, and placed the Wis
cera in a closet, where they were re-
Gently discovered, and wrapping up
portions of the body, went out at night
from his rooms, near Montmartre,
through St. Ouen's Gate, and threw
them into the Seine. The next night
he got rid of the remaining yortions in
the same way. e
The tragedy for weeks escaped all
clue. Billion was simply arrested be-
cause his mistress had disappeared,
and the first search of his lodgings
gave no result. The details given by
him are not, Of course, to be implicitly
accepted. @

The polonaise has for its only draping
two pleats in the middle of the back
below the long Marguerite corsage.
On it's side form, and quite far back, is
a large square plain blue pocket, with
two ruff1es across the top, and strap of
pale blue ribbon tied across the centre
and finished with long loops and ends.
The striped sleeve has similar trim
mings for cuffs. The plain blue collar
is turned over in English points in front.
The buttons down the ntire front are
blue vegetable ivory, or else smoke
pearl, sewed on with eyes. The trim
ming around the bottom is bias blue
band, piped with gold-color, and finish
ed with cotton fringe of mixed blue,
gold and white. A similar suit has
polonaise of brown percale striped with
cream and white, and trimmed on the
pockets, wrists, and down the entire
front with long-looped bows of cardinal
ribbon.
Another polonaise, with clinging
princesse front, and the back draped
and hanging in square tabs, is of India
red figures on navy blue ground.
There is plastron of plain blue down
the front, and the border is of solid
blue. The plain blue percale skirt has
three scantily gathered ruffles bound
with cardinal red. In the same fash
ion is polonaise of wide blue and
cream stripes, to which diagonal lines
are added, solid blue border edges the
polonaise, and the founces of tie dark
blue skirt are bound with pale blue.
The collar is standing behind, and the
deep points turned over in front have
the corners rounded.
The basques and overskirts are of
simple shape. The basque is longer in
front and back than on the hips, and is
very high about the neck. The over
skirt is long and straight in front, and
shorter behind. The striped and Gre
tonne percales are pretty for these,
and are trimmed with pleatings or
gathered ruffies of solid color, headed
by wide white Smyrna lace or English
embroidery on white muslin. Down
the front and on the sides are both
made Of two materials used on the
dress.-Hd1pcrs Bazaar.

What Was Found in an Old Burial Vault,
From the New York Tribune.

The dilapidated old church structure
at Prince and Marion streets is to be
removed, and the site used for an iron
foundry. The church was built over a
hundred years ago by the First Univer-
salist Society of this city, but has
in the meantime passed into the hands
of several religious societies, having
been last occupied by body of col
ored people. It is now used as lodg-
ing house by homeless men. After
leasing the ground the new proprietors
discovered that a vault containing
nearly 800 bodies was under the church,
and as they did not wish to erect a
manufacturing establishment over the
resting-place of the dead, permission
was obtained from the Health Depart
ment to remove the bodies to Maple
Grove Cemetery. Advertisements were
published requesting friends of the per-
sons buried in the vault to come for
ward and claim the remains, but only
one response was received. The work
of opening the vault and removing the
corpses began last Monday and contin-
ued until Saturday. The mouth of the
vault was sealed nearly thirty years
ago, and the foul air that met the work
men delayed their entrance for several
hours. The walls were covered with
mold and cobwebs. Some Of the cof-
fins had been placed there one hundred
years ago, and decay had left only an
undistinguishable mass of dust and
bones. The more recent dead were
still encofined, fifty or more years hav-
ing failed entirely to destroy the burial
cases, although the ornaments and IN
scription-plates had fallen off and lay
in the rubbish. The bones and dust
were carefully placed in boxes and
conveyed to another resting place. The
registry book of the burials in the vault
was lost long ago, so that it is impossi-
BILE to ascertain the exact number Of
bodies in the tomb. Only seventeen
of the nearly three hundred were iden-
tilted.

A Widows Ways.

Cleveland Leaders Washington Letter.
One case came under my observation
in which the principal actors were a
member of Congress, aged, [ should
Judge, upwards of sixty, and a bright,
fresh, sprightly widow, a sparkling and
irresistible type of the class Of which
the elder Weller SO solcmnly counsels
his son to "bevare." The sly twinkle
of the old gentleman's eye and his ex-
preston Of studied Indifference to the
tender glances and alluring airs led me
to seriously doubt whether he heard
one word of the manufactured business
being poured into his ear, and my in
clination to examine the document in
his hands were almost irresistible, SO
firmly was I convinced that it was bot
tom-side upwards; but when [ saw her
rest her beautiful hand SO tenderly up
on his arm, and gazing up into his face
with bewildering eyes, inquire in tones
of sweet perplexity: "My dear Mr.,
what shall I do?" we rang down the
curtain. We were willing to wager our
head on the success of that woman's
petition if it lay In the power of our
venerable friend to bring it about.

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
March,.

All, surely March! you've come again,
With sleet and snow, and hail and rain:
Cold earth beneath dark sky above you,
What have you, pray, to make us love you?
No month is half SO rough as you,
December winds less harshly blew;
What churlish ways! what stOrm-tossed tresses
Your presence every one distresses!
Haste, haste away! We longing wait
To greet fair April at our gate.
Cold earth beneath, dark sky above you,
Surely you've naught to make us love you'll
{" All, see these blossoms!" he replied,
Tossing his hail-torn cloak aside
Though other months have flowers a-many,
Say, are not mine as fair as any?
See peeping from each dusky fold,
The crocus with its cup of gold
Violets, snowdrOps white and Silly,
Sweeter than any summer lily;
And underneath the oak leaAes
Her fragrant wreath the arbutus weaves,-
whatever sky may be above me,
Surely for these all hearts will love mel"

Spring Fashion.

Spring Goods.-The new spring wool
ems are the first importations displayed.
These are soft and yielding, and though
of pure wool, have scarcely more weight
than the sheerest cambria. The great
est number are self colored in the
small neat figures that have been
fashionable during the winter, such as
armures, basket-woven designs; raised
checks and blocks, stripes with qua
drille bars raised upon them, matelasse,
and damask figures with open lace-hke
meshes woven around them. Summer
camel's-hair, cashmere, and other
tWilled stuffs are shown, but diagonals
are no longer novelties, and the small
figures will have the preference. Ex-
perienced merchants say that gray will
be more worn than it has been since
brown replaced it two years ago, and
that fawn, steel, and drab shades will be
popular; also that the fancy for myrtle
green and navy blue will continue, es-
pecially when these coIors are COM
bined with white in tiny checks smaller
than pin heads, and in various oriental
combination both Of figures and colors.
De Beges.-De beges are no longer
plain Or merely twilled, but are inn
ported in the stylish small figures,
armures, stripes, checks, and metelasse
patterns in shaded gray Or brown.
Raised irregular squares are seen in de
bege stufs, and the fine cashmere de
bege with thick twill is provided in
abundance in the blue steel shades
That were so difficult to find last sum-
mer. These will be chosen for the first
spring suits, and will be used as travel
ing and morning dresses all through
the summer.
Checks and Stripes. Checked woolens
will be worn again, but the best quail
ties will be finer even than pin-head
checks, because these very fine checks
can not be copied by domestic manu-
facturers. These will be chosen in
myrtle green and white, ink blue and
white, brown on blue, brown with
white, gold On brown, and of course
black with white. These remain in
favor for misses and young girls, and
will be displayed in both double and
single widths. There are also checked
stripes with solid stripes between; thus
cardinal checks On blue with solid blue
stripes between, or else brown; cardinal
and white are the colors.
How to Make Percole Dresses.
who make up their summer ward
robes in February and March usually
begin with wash dresses, leaving their
suits to the last, in order to
get the latest fashions, hence novelties
for the wash goods are the first to be
provided by the importers, and we
hasten to record these. There will be
both polonaises and basques with over
skirts. Two kinds of percale are re-
quired for most suits; one of these is of
solid color, the other is in stripes, sprigs,
or in India designs with borders. There
are, long simply shaped princesse
polonaises Of indigo blue percale, strip
ed with gold andN white, sworn over a.
plain blue psrcale skirt, Of which the
rmerest glimpses Of ! it's two Or three
gathered ruftles are shown, as
the long polonaise almost covers it.

The Thornton Family.

The young daughters of the Thorn
ton family are described as tall and
slender, with sweet but rather plain
faces, and compilations of that sallow
paleness supposed to be unknown to
consumers of the roast beef and plum
pudding of England. They dress with
the greatest plainness, their abundant
light hair braided and tied with rib
bons, their dresses rather short and
free from unnatural expansion, and
their shoes, which are not at all di-
minutive, have soles thicker than any
American shoemaker would dare to
make. The miles that they walk, ride,
or pull on the river, are an unfailing
source of establishment to your 6 ladies
whose only miles are danced out on
waxed floors. In summer or winter,
rain, snow, or slush, they are out,
taking their exercise, accompanied by
their father or governess. At concerts,
opera or the theatre, Lady Thornton
comes in bravely with silk, laces and
jewels; behind are the daughters, with
their governess, dressed just as plainly
SIS when out for a walk, in their long
beaver cloth sacques and plain broad
brimmed felt hats down over their
eyes.

ENGLISH butchers have adopted

ENGLISH butchers have adopted an
ingenious method of disgusting their
customers with American meat They
are buying up the old worn-out bulls
and emaciated COWS, and labelling them
when dressed, "Real American beef,
not frozen" The price charged for the
meat thus labelled seems low to the
purchaser, but is really very high for
the stuff given in exchange, and leaves
the seller about three pence per pound
profit. It has also the advantage of
thoroughly sickening the purchaser,
who finding it quite void of nutrition
and tough as a whipthong, at once
swears to eschew American beef for the
future, and goes back to beef at the
old high prices, when he often really
gets unconsciously American beef,
which the willy butcher sells as English,
and thereby reaps increased profits.

THE FAIR SEX.

ripping Down the Field-Path.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.
Tripping down the field path,
Early in the morn,
There met my own love,
Midst the golden corn;
Autumn winds were blowing,
AS in frolic chase,
All her silken ringlets
Backward from her face.
Little time for speaking
Had she, for the wind
Bonnet, scarf, or ribbon,
Ever swept behind!
Still some sweet Improvement
In her beauty shOne;
Every graceful movement
Won income by one!
AS the breath of Venus
Seem'd the breeze of morn,
Blowing thus between us,
Midst the golden corn.
Little time for woOing,
Had we, for the wind
Still kept on undoing
What we sought to bind!
Oh, that autumn morning
In my heart it beams,
Loves last look adjoining
With its dream of dreams?
Still, like waters flowing
In the oc an she'll
Sounds of breezes blowing
In my spirit dwell!
Still see the ield-path;-
Would that could see
Her whose graceful beauty
Lost is now to me.

a Paris Ball Dress.

Lucy Hooper in one of her letters to
the philadelphia Telegraph says:
"Ball dresses are growing tighter and
tighter, not only as to their waists, but
their skirts. Where does the present
fashion intend to stop? I recently saw
young French lady at party, in q
gored Princesse dress of pale salmon
colored silk, fitting as closely and with
as little fullness IN the skirt as possible.
There was not a particle of drapery or
founces about the dress, the only trim
ming being a fat band of embroidery
in pale blue and silver On a dark
ground that went around the waist,
sleeves and skirt. and transversely
across the front from shoulder to skirt
hem. When the young wearer sat
down, the effect can better be i'm
agined than described, as she looks like
8 figure moulded in peach ice, and as
the waist was cut very, very low, and
there were no sleeves at all to speak of,
she might have sat as model to a
sculptor with perfect ease, not to say
propriety. I am told that there is now
aquestion in the higher circles Of fash
ion Of suppressing entirely all under
garments of linen or muslin, their place
to be supplied by buckskin or channels

Beautiful Women that no Longer Rule

Beautiful Women that no Longer Rule
in Washington.
From the Independent.
One year ago Mrs. Belknap was the
toast. Every night and every morning
we read anew of the brightness of her
face, the marvels of her dresses, the
number of her shoes. She read so
much about the splendors of her beauty
and the wonders of her toilet that she
grew to believe herself to be little
above any of her earthly sisters. In
three years she was utterly transformed
from q gentle, subdued- looking widow,
to an airy supercilious woman of fash
ion.
When Senator Christiancy married q
little girl who counted scrip in the
Treasury, the society g leaders " met
and debated whether they should re-
ceive her or not. She entered their
enchanted circle SIS if by fire. She
was by no means unanimously received,
nor in any way warmly welcomed.
Nobody tabooed her SO positively and
utterly as Mrs. Belknap. She, the
daughter of country doctor, was not
willing to receive on equal terms the
little Countess of Scrip" suddenly
elevated to to the dignity Of a Senator's
wife. This was but one year ago.
Yet already we have ceased altogeth-
er to hear of Mrs. Belknap's dresses.
She lives at the Arlington, and no doubt
keeps still her near personal friends;
but she is no longer the fashion. No
body cares whether her shoes are ones
or tens.
Just the same gay throng rolls up to
the door of the Secretary of War; but
his name is Don Cameron. He has 8
daughter, tall, strong, dark and beauti-
full. She now is the toast. So also is
the daughter-in-law of the Attorney
General, the bride of a week. She is q
blonde Of blondes-blue-eyed and lovely
in an azure dress. The whole world of
fashion is rushing to gaze<upo her at
the Ebbitt House. Every week we
read that the most brilliant receptions
of the season are those of Mrs. Taft.
1t seems but yesterday that the whole
world was flowing into the house of the
Attorney General whose name was Will
liams. What sumptuous feasts were
those in the new house into which the
beautiful woman had put her very life.
Amid costly hangings and azure-satin
furniture, dressed like Peri, this
beautiful Sultans stirred her famous
"punch" for the feasting and dancing
crowds who packed her house. She
stirs it still in the same house, no doubt,
for her Individual friends; but the
crowds for the Attorney Generals all
rush to the Ebbitt House, and Mrs.
Taft answers just as we'll as Mrs. Will
liams, the beautiful--albeit she stirs no
toddy.
