time to receive him on his uplifted horns.
In any case the pole is almost certain to
be knocked from under him, and the
man must see to it that he alights upon
his feet, or lie will he speedily dis

gone on for some time, a signal was Civ.
en- for new change Of ,ctics, and the
bandilleros made their appearance
to exhibit feats Of even
greater daring and adroitness.
One after another placed himself before
the bull and goaded him to madness by
shaking in his face two colored wands
on the extremities of which were
twisted barbs. When the angry animal
made q dash at his tormentor the crit.
ical moment came. The bandillero
waited until the head of the charging
beast was within his grasp, and then,
reaching between the advancing horns,
thrust the colored shafts into the Shout
ders IF the bull. There was horrible
fascination in this spectacle, for it was
done just as the bull lowered his head
to toss his enemy to the sky. At one
instant the man seemed doomed to- in
slant death. The next we saw him leap
lightly aside, while the baffled bull iai,-

Another flourish oftrumpets now gave

The Dude and the President.

In one of the Western Territories the
people have governor whom they call
a dude. Being governor of the terri-
tory Of course he never saw his pr1ncl-
pality until he went out to assume the
reins of power. tits one of the attractive
features of our system of governing the
territories that no one shall be appointed
chief executive who has grown up with
the place. The consequence is sthatgen-
orally the governors are unpopular.
But this one is particularly out of keep
ing with his surroundings. 1t otfends
the honest miner to see his fellow. man
wearing short top coat, an English hat
and small-very small-silk umbrella.
1t hurts him to see him surround him
eelf with pictures and other objects Of
art. And yet this governor of whom 1
speak, and whom some of my readers
know very we'll, dresses and lives in this
highly offensive manner. Last stsummer,
when the President was in the west, he
stopped 10 see this governor, and Mr..
Arthur, at that time, looked good deal
more like resident of the frontier town
than the governor did, When the
President was leaving, and Just as he
was getting on his train, q liberal minded
miner approached him and said: Look
here, general, and then he pointed at
the governor over his shoulder with
his thumb and winked, "why
don't yer send us a cologne bot
tie ?" At first the President looked al
the man very sternly, but after he got
into the car he looked out Of the window
for some time, and, after studying the
governor closely, glanced at the minel
and smiled. H.

who divide the departments and the
great viceroyalties among themselves.
The dynasty, moreover, being foreign,
is compelled to respect the army, to some
extent, while this army is, for financial
reasons, so limited in number that it is
difficult to garrison the empire, and i'm
possible to hold it down for an hour. It
is the tradition of the court, therefore,
never seriously to offend either the army
of the people in such way as to pro-
woke emeutes, more especially in Pekin.
At present the emperor is boy, only
just twelve years of age, and all real
authority belongs to widow of the last
full-grown emperor, Hien Fung-who is
called the em press mother, but is not
the mother of the emperor,-to Prince
Kung, Ii Hung Chang, the favorite OF
the native Chinese, and two or three
less known high officials. They can
send out auy orders they please and are
Obeyed, but they cannot afford to risk
the instructions which would follow
any great affropt to the pride Of the
people, such as the session of Tonquin
would be. China, in fact, is more
solid Turkey, with sultan, pashas, army
and mob sharing power in unequal de-
grees. As in Turkey, too, all four are
bound in the chain OF law that cannot

A Woman Burned to Death at Brad
dock, Penn.

P1TTsBURG, December 11.-Shortly
after IL o'clock last night, a frame house
occupied by John Eckert and wife at
Braddock, Pa, was destroyed by fire:
It was supposed that the inmates all
escaped, as during the progress Of
the fire no sounds were distinguish
able from the burning house,
but after the flames were sub.
dued the charred remains Of Mrs.
Eckert were found in the ruins.
The unfortunate woman was ad
dicted to the use OF alcohol
and opium and it is believed that while
under the influence OF one or the other
of these, she overturned lamp and
set fire to the building. Ugly rumors re-
fecting on her husband are also in Cir
culation and assertions Of foul play are
made. 1t is said the husband and
wife had frequent quarrels yesterday
and that just before the discovery OF the
fire Eokert left the premises very angry.
Coroner Dressler left for the scene this
morning for the purpose Of instituting
an investigation. Since the fire Eckert
has not been seen.
