THE Bull FIGHT.
In Honor Of the Marriage of King Aifons'
of Suaiu
Edward Kings Madrid Letter

Edward Kings Madrid Letter
A daring fellow, in green tights, white
silk stockings, and Jacket blazing with
gold and jewels, ran up in front of the
bull, holding in each hand a flexible
dart enyeloped in straw at one end.
Quick as lightning the bull sprang at
him, but the man went to one side and
the two darts were sticking in the ami
mails neck. II was quick rs thought
The banderillos made the bull crazy
with rage; he shook himself, but they
entered more deeply into the skin; he
toamed at the mouth; he was terrible.
He ran at q knot of his enemies and
frightened them, SO that they fed in
confusion, leaping the barrier. Now all
the devil in the bull was reused. His
motions were twice as quick as before.
Thousands of voices were screaming
advice from the benches: Rafael, mind
your steps. Well Well Muy bein
Lagaitijol Demonjol Anda! And
Now run for it, homhre! What an ass,
burro, burrito!" Then great silence
fell. The matador took red cloak in
his hand, holding concealed beneath il
sword, short and stout of blade. He
stepped gracefully and briskly to the bull
and held the red cloak directly before
his eyes. The bull flew at il. The mat
ador made false step, saved himself
and looked up, pale and quiyering, to
hear a tempest OF maledictions. The
bull was after him again; and followed
him. Lightly as thistle down flew 10
the rescue, dozen capcndnrs, who tlut.
tered their cloaks in the bulls vision,
until he was directed from his victim
Then they gradually brought HIM TO q
standstill, ard the natador came before
him again. Now began n terrible duel
between man and beast. The cloth was
at the bulls reach and he seemed to an
nihilate the matador. But no; the
man was always out of reach. and his
cleaning blade was playing in the air
The bull saw il, but the cloak was before
him. S-s-s-t, down came the sword be-
tween the animals foreshoulders, but the
bull, with noble and imperious motion,
threw it out of the wound, from which
the blood flowed in large streams. The
matador drew another sword and the
battle began again. Each time that he
stabbed the beast but slightly, the crowd
cursed him. Then be redoubled his en-
eryies and seemed to lose his prudence
By'and-by he made flying leap; every
one stood up, thinking TO see him lying
cored 10 death. But, on the contrary,
he stood some yards away, pointing 10
the bull. In whose shoulder the sword
was planted TO the hilt. The king was
languidly appplauding with his white
gloved hands. And the spectators, 1t
was Bedlam. The bull shrugged, but the
dreadful sword snapped his life. He
rged and ran. frothing upon the agile
cloak-bearers. They decamped. but re-
turned as they saw the poor animal walk

How Parts Ladies' Dress.
London Daily News.


The whirligig of fashion is bringing
round an old-fdshoned decoration, which
has its merits. Ladies are wearying
monograms, and are adopting emblems
and notices. The fourteenth and early
sixteenth centuries were the time when
rsotoes and fanciful emblems fomished
most abundently. Besides his heredi-
tary bearings, every knight had some
emblem of fantasy, and every lady her
symbol, which might be changed at
pleasure. When these were embroider-
ed on dresses the effect was quaint and
variegated. and gave each costume kind
of originality. Parisians have redis-
covered this, and birds and notices are
embroidered all over dresses. 4 well
graced land well-puiled) actress, who is
the reverse of stout in figure, appeared
lately with the device OF ravens on her
array. Her rival, who is not slim, OBJ
served that "Where the skeleton Is the
ravens are gathered together swallows
are more common than the sOmbre bird
of the Danish banner-perhaps 10 indi-
cate that the wearer intends dying, fly.
ing south" Good swallows are wore on
a blue satin ground, though a naturalist
might prefer TO reverse the colors.
Ladies of fashion, if the fashion prevails,
will soon look as quaint as did Jacquel-
inc de la Grange in her costume brolder-
ed with pink eagles and black ducks, or
Anne Of Bohemia with the crowned
ostrich. The notices may slip from
writing paper into wider use, and poets
style themselves on their title pages, ''le
banni de liesse" The old motto would
serve many Of the new poets very well,
and the fashion will at least add some
variety TO existence, till the thing Is over
done and cease TO be an outward sign Of
inward mclieyalisln.
