L Monitor Repub1cano.1
The Plaza del Huizachal. we said, was
packed with people. The bulls were brave
and killed some horses as one would kill flies,
which caused the respectable public to send
up a howl Of delight which sounded in the
distant solitude of the fields like the yelping
OF an immense pack of wolves. or as if q
thousand hounds were securing the mountains
and making the rocks resound with supernat-
urnl barking.
Suddenly in the midst of the hubbub wns
heard a strange noise, as If the ground had
sunk or the mountain toppled over among
yelping savages-hoarse outcries and an ex-
plosiou Of music with u strength Of 200 horse
power.
One side OF tho vast circus had fallen down.
More than three hundred spectators were pre-
cipitated to the ground. Pieces of boards and
worm eaten beams were showered upon them.
They formed n compact mass of bodies that
squirmed desperately, some on their faces in
the dust, Others sidewise, others sitting. 1t
was a grotesque compound OF the frightful
and the fantastic 1t was as II an abyss had
swallowed all those human beings, who sent
up from the bottom OF it cries of pain, groans
hurras, and vivas, which were drowned by
the music and drums of those who, not hnv-
ing fallen in, gnzed with delight upon this
spectacle very appropriate to n bull fight,
and truly worthy OF u diversion savage and a
pastime barbnrous.
There were many broken ribs, many dislo-
Gated arms, many contusions, many fractured
legs, many bruised heads. Some emerged
from the cavern without hats, some with a
No. Z rent in the coat, some minus one leg OF
the pantaloon, some with the face rasped and
bloody. Men, women and children had all
been tumbled together, curiously enough,
into the place where tho bulls were shut up.
The terrified bulls, not able to imagine why
they should be attacked en- masse in that
manner, added to tho hubbub by believing
vehemently. The children screamed, tho
women ditto, the men cursed, the wounded
groaned, and tho public applauded frantically,
enthusiastically, demonstrating their joy
with such yells as only the vocal organs Of
savages could produce. All of which the
neighboring mountains reverberated in pro-
phetic echoes.
Charming, most charming spectaclei
Glory be to the inventor OF the bull fghtl
Two hours afterward seventy wagons
entered the city, bringing the tauro maquicos,
yelling like a tribe OF Apaches invading the
city Of palaces,
Those who were not humbled in spirit by
bruised heads or broken bones were naturally
more gleeful, more happy, and more bellicose
than usual, and passed through the streets
shouting;

The Charlotte On. c. Journal Observer
prints the following card from tho widow OF
Gen. "Stonewalln jackson;
To the Editor OF Tn J~Ournal-O Observer:
Upon my return from my recent visit TO
the north | find some comments which are
not entirely just from the southern press,
and in justice TO myself and my daughter |
must correct some statements which have
been made. After joining Gov. and Mrs
Jarvis, who were going TO n tho Same
trip we were land where could we find a
more pleasant aud suitable party TO travel
with than the governor OF my native state
and his excellent wifeD an invitation was
extended TO us to become the guests of tho
state OF Massachusetts, | was advised by
southern friends TO accept 1t, and it was
urged that we would not DO the guests OF
Gov. Butler, but Of the state, which rep
resented many good and noble people.
While in Boston we wero enter
tanned at a hotel, and did not cross the
threshold OF Gen. Butler. Justice, however,
compels me TO shy that he was wanting in
no courtesy to the guests Of his state. The
people OF Boston, and at every point we Wis
tied in the north, certainly gave evidence
that my husbands name was held in such
honor and reverence that my heart could not
but be touched with tender and grateful
motion. l was told they admired him for
''his moral grandeur Ibis exalted piety;n
hat be was the 'bravest man the war pro
duced on either side" that they were proud
OF him as an American citizen" etc. Surely
there must DO enough Of chivalry and right
on the part Of all true southerners TO cast no
blame upon me for having been the meaus Of
evoking such sentiments rs these, aud while
every instinct Of my nature is loyalty and
deyotinn IN the south | cnn testify that tharn
are many excellent Christians at the north
who arc nxiou to blot out NIL the sectional
differences and extend to us the love and
kindness which makes u nation chat happy
people whose God is the Lord"

Mr.. Barron, OF The Inter Ocean, wrote a
play. Some days ago l saw in print that
he had sold it for 5000 cash. l called on
him Immediately to congratulate him and as
sure him that in my esteem he had always
occupied the top round. ] found that for
tune had not made a fool Of him He greeted
me as he had done before, in the days whom
we were interested in a problem Of life which
it Is not necessary to bring up at this time.
He handed Ine a chaliced cup filed with vim
tage, and l cooled my lips with 1t. He said
that | need not DO afraid Of it. "We used
10 drink out OF an oyster can" no said "but
/ throw 1t away"
As we chatted he seemed to discover that ]
was uncomfortable. He said he regretted
that he could not ask me to put the solos OF
my boots against the wall, us once was the
rule, and when l discovered the velvet paper
there, Of course, l wouldn't have put up my
feet If he had insisted. He pointed out n
porcelain cuspidor in n rich rug. md asked
me in his old familiar way, by which l know
his heart wns stil right, ito use that" in
stead of splitting on the floor MS we used 70
do. l noticed TINT the coal in the crate was
low. and he Irvine that l did. He touched a
silver bell which had in it the ring Of pros
perity and the music Of the breeze that comes
in after the storm. Almost instantly a slave
came in with a FURNISHED hod, and with the
contents he placed tho anthracite where It
would do the most good. / folt like embrac-
ing my friend, who raised his hand and said:
Keep stll, l know your thoughts. 1t is all
right When you get it by the ton, in I'D
vance Of winter, you can use 1t more freely
thnn when you have to hunt it in an alley.
And a hod like that will last all day, whereas
the amount you could bring up in tho pocket
of an ulster wouldn't go very far"
II there had been anything wanting to as
sure me that this old friend had come 10
where he could hear tho chimes OF tho New
Jerusalem, he supplied it when he pulled out
the drawer Of a dressing-cnse and showed me
not only one extra shirt, but a half dozen. l
noticed that there were socks which mated,
and that the pillow-slips on the bod were
hlled with sea moss instead OF shavings. And
yet, in tho midst Of this sunburst, | found him
contented, and the same old-timo cordially
was handed out. He is one OF the men who
doesn't seem to have become inflated because

THE NEST.

t''T. c. from Victor Hugo.1
When you enter the temple door
To seek celestial resi-,
Under the old gray arch
Look up at the simple nest,
Where the new-come SWALLOWS add
To the grand old house Of prayer
A building of their own,
With more of heaven there.
The brood lie hid in the moss,
Where the gate-way-arch b~efrtendA,
AT rest in the pleasant shade
The wing of a Jesus lends
Where the shadows flicker within,
A IL to their twittered trill,
The swallows are CLEANS of joy,
The pillars dRrkly still
Even the stolid saints,
By the gateway's constant swing,
Rejoice to lind so near
Thu hopes and the kiss Of spring.
Virgins aud holy men
Peer down from towers above
On the hives the birds AVE built
For the honey of heaven-love.
An apostle greets with a smile,
From the shade of an archway quaint,
A bird on an angel lit,
And the bird salutes the saint
The grcatcathedral's spires
Far up TO heaven shine,
But the nest OF the little swallow
Is u building more divine.

craftsman who undertook wood engraving In
this country. He was born in New York in
I7.A and died in New Jersey in 1870,
lacking only five years of rounding out a fun
century OF busy life. He began his art work
when he was only 10 years old, picking up
his trade by observing how jewellers and
other workmen did their work, and using for
his first efforts some old plates Of copper and

Anderson at the very frst, ! am not sure but
he would gain the palm. Tho old farmer
who is pelting the boy down from his apple

Anderson's engraving, and the spilled milk

and the ornamental borders that Anderson
gave have now an added interest.

The Fatal Mistake ora Nurse.

- PH1LADELPH1A, Aug. 24.-Simon Gaur, aged forty-four, died at the Philadelphia hospital to-day from the effects of dose of carbolic acid administered in mistake for bromide of potassium on Thursday last by nurse named Henry Loftus. Gaur was patient in the epileptic ward and when he had convulsions the dose was carelessly given him. The nurse was discharged although he wanted to stay and nurse the patient. Dr. Voorhees attended the man and refused to give any information unless he was permitted to make post mortem examination. This was refused. Nurse Loftus contends that the bottle containing bromide was taken away and the carbolic acid maliciously put in it's place by some one unknown.
