THE BULL RING.
Battle between y Texan Taurus And
4.f Lioness

Battle Between y Texan Taurus and =
Isan Antonio (TexAs) Cor. 81 Louis Goblet
The scene of the contest was about
three and half miles from town. A
spacious amphitheater had been erected,
capable of seating 5000 people. In the
center of it was mammoth cage, ITO
feet in circumference, weighing 6,OOO
pounds. Free convey ance was offered
attendants upon the fight, and fully ,O0o
went out to witress 1T. The buu, q
muscular animal IL years old, was found
i'll tho cage, aud, though showing, but
little spirit, was generally considered
capable OF combating even the so-called
king of beasts. At o'clock the an
nouncement of "ready" was given. In
tense excitement prevailed, and all
seemed fearful lest, perchance, there
might be some flaw in the construction
OF the cage, and that the struggling AMI
mails might break the bars and escape,
to vent their savage wrath upon the
helpless assemblage of people.
Finally the iron cage containing the
lioness was backed up against the PIT
for the battle, when a shoot was opened,
the door of egress for the honess was
unbarred, and she sprung upon the bat
tle-ground. The bull eyed her suspi-
ciously and continued chewing his cud,
when Jennie as his antagonist is named,
passed around TO ais rear. Not appre-
hending the attack, the bull was taken
by surprise when Jennie bounced upon
him. She sprang upon his launches
with an effort to hasten her teeth and
claws in the powerful beast; but his
hide, being thick and exceedingly
tough, resisted the attempt. The at
tack aroused the ire of the bull, who
turned, and, madly rushing upon his
antagonist, caught her in his horns and
tossed her in the air. When she fell
one of her ribs was evidently broken,
and, utterins coarse and infuriated
gyowls, she retreated. The bull fol-
lowed the honess up, and presently
caught her again in his giant horns, and
again sent her sailing through space.
The crowd shouted and cheered, the
widest enthusiasm prevailing. Those
who had planked their notes on the king
of beasts raised the white feather, while
the raging bull followed up his victory.
Jennie was finally cornered, and, stand
luR UPON utI uluu loCo, DhooAhS hOAoSt
against the bars of the cage, with open
mouth and thunder-like roaring, she
prepared for the life struggle. Know
ing no fear, the bull rushed upon her.
His point was finally gained, and Jennie
was at his mercy. Overcoming her re-
sistance, he forced her to the ground and
brought all his power to bear upon her
head. Down upon his knees the bull
fell, actually pinning the ioness to the
floor with his horns. This ended the
combat; Jennie being completely van
pushed and left in dying condition.
After the bulls final effort she had not
sufficient life remaining even to groan.
The fight lasted twelve minutes. The
ioness had been famished for the occa-
sion, and the starving had, evidently,
been overdone, thus affecting her natural
strength and activity and preventing the
DEVELOPMENT of her feroolous instincts.

The Death Penalty.

At a meeting of the New York Medi-
oo-Legal Society, the other day, there
was an interesting discussion on the
mode of the infection of the death pen
atty. DIR. John II. Packard, of Phila-
delphia, reasoned that just as the physi-
cal terror OF punishment is increased
just 80 much is the moral effect of the
punishment weakened, as if proved by
the simultaneous records in the daily
press Of executions end murders. BE
gave, among other reasons for opposing
the present mode Of capital punishment,
that its horrors excited the humane sem
timent Of the community TO An inordinate
degree, thereby largely increasing the
chances Of acquittal even for the worst
criminals. In Pennsylvania, he said, if
the Governor goes out OF offioe without
signing the death warrant OF some Grim
inal, his SUCCESSORS, following the long
established custom, neglect to give Off
cial sanction TO the warrant, and in one
notable case a man sentenced to death
twenty six years ago is still unhunQ.
DR.. Packard suggested that in place
OF the rope u more humane and decent
means Of life-taking be employed. His
choice was the administration of carbonic
oxide in close room in which the Grim
inal should be placed under the direo-
ton Of a jury. At the end of ten minutes
fresh Air should be admitted to the room,
and the same Jury should view the body
and give the necessary certificate as to
death. He advocated this plan as one
presenting the advantages of economy,
humanity, aud decency.
Mr.. Riddle, one of the many speakers
who followed DIR. Packard, believed that
if the gallows were dispensed with we
should substitute something more mys-
ferrous and horrible. "Do away with
the rope as means of punishment, he
said, but give us in place of it ter
rible punishment by dead of night, in
secrecy and mystery, and let the body of
the felon be put 80 far away that even
the devil cannot find It."

After Q long and desperate resistance
on the part Of the lobby, says the Chi
cage Tribune. Mr.. Thnrman's bill to
compel the subsidized Pacific railroads
Ito provide for the payment of the debt
they owe the Government has passed the
Senate by the handsome majority of 40
to 10. The struggle has been one Of the
Government against the lobby, and the
interests of the people against the inter-
ests OF O railroad ring; the result is q
triumph of patriotism over the corrupt
Influences that opposed it.
The provisions of this bill are, in
brief, that the railroads shall pay to the
Government one-fourth of their net
earnings annually, to be applied in part
TO the payment of the interest on the
bonds and in part to a sinking fund for
the ultimate liquidation of the principal
at the maturity of the bonds. The net
earnings are to be ascertained not mere
ly by deducting the operating expenses
and repairs, but also the interest on the
Arst-moxtgage bonds, 30 that the exao-
ton from the companies is virtually but
one-fourth Of the sum that would annu-
ally be divided among the owners OF
fictitious stock.
Under the bill, the Union Pacific will
be required generally to pay only
$50 900 annually. and the Central Pa
cifio only $500, 600 annually, in add. ton
to tue amount charged for Government
services Fortunately the act is 20
thorough and guarded that the payments
cannot well be avoided; it per
mits no dividends till these pay
ments are made, and makes it penal
offense for any officer or stakeholder to
declare or partake of such fraudulent
dividends.
In regard TO the ability of the roads to
comply with the requirements Of the
bill, the following figures will set the
questiyn at rest:
The gross earnings of the Union Pa
cifc railroad last year were $l3, us, 343,
an increase of 81, COS, 1853 over the pre-
vious year; and the operating expenses
are IS, 400, 253, being decrease of S45,-
867 from the preceding year, showing
net earnings to have been $S,317 900.
The Central Pacific makes an equally
good showing. 1t net earnings for the
five years ending with 1876 were as fol

The gross earnings of the two roads
were $31 ,033, 803 in 1877, and their net
earnings are SIG, 600, 600; and their
claim that they cannot pay the sums re-
quired of them by the Thurman bill for
sinking fund to extinguish the debt
they owe to the Government is therefore
manifestly absurd. Last year the roads
