A Noble Balrs IgnobIe Death.

William A. Vincent and wife re-
turned recently from visit to the
Citv of Mexico. They were fortu-
nate 10 reaching the Mexican capital
10 time 10 attend the greatest bull
fight that has been seen in the Re
public for a generation. A celeora-
ted matador from Spain is starring
through Mexico at present, and the
visitors visited his performance at
an ampitheatre located Just outside
the federal district. Some 5000
people occupied seats in the amphl-
theatre. Four horses were ripped
to pieces by the infuriated bulls, and
three bulls were slain. but when the
fourth bull dashed about the circle
and became so fierce as TO terrifs the
attendants, and even the brave mat
ador, the audience hissed and shout
ed. aud called them 4 set OF cowards-
The bull was clearly master of the
situation none dared to approach
him, ana the audience was canvass
ed for fighters who bad the nerve to
stand before him. Two local celeb
rites entered the arena, but were
soon put to fight. and, as iiaai re-
sort, the attendants lassoed the bull,
dragged him to the centre OF the
arena, and deliberately cut his
throat. A similar scene was never
before witnessed in Mexico. II vas
conceded that this was the most VI
cious bull that had ever been turned
loose in the republic, and the delib-
crate manner IN which the gritty an
imal was done for SO aroused the
spectators, tnat they literally went
wild Rith rage. They tore the seats
from the amphitheatre aud buried
them at the bull fighters, VINO were
| forced to fee for their lives, aud ne
tore the crowd left the place, the
structure was almost wholly demol-
ished - Santa Pc Ne1r Ne.cicdE.

The other day was told this story at the
Howard university: A little Indian girl, q
wounded and terrified little thing, was
brought in here from the Sand Creek massa
ere, Colorado-they call it battle out there
and placed at this school For the first
year she was mute moody, entirely silent,
and unapproachable What in the world
could this ungrateful little savage have been
thinking abouti
But finally she made friend or two, and
then she began to talk, and to talk weird and
wonderful things. She seemed inspired. She
laid her fingers on the keys and played the
piano almost instantly and, incredulous as it
seems, perfectly But she was falling away
A flower that had been gathered from the
wild and far west in the fashion she had been
gathered could only droop and die Yet,
having touched the keys, she could not let
go. She played and played almost con-
stantly, and entirely by ear and inspiration.
At last she was too ILL., she could only lie in
her room and wait for death.
But a special occasion was approaching, e
birthday party among the young girls of
some sort, and she was entreatei to play, for
the hall would be filled with famous people
from far about who had heard of her, and
would come only to see and hear her. OF
course she declined; said it was impossible
she should never play any more. But in the
midst of the entertainment and at precisely
the time desired, she came gliding down, and
all in ghostly white She was wearing her
shroud. do not dare repeat the praises that
We're showered upon her Suddenly she arose,
glided silently away, and on, and up to her
room.

Train and His Young Listeners.

How completely George Francis Train has
slipped out of public life. see him nearly
every day and he has not changed in the
slightest degree since he took up his vigil in
Madison square. At certain hour every
morning. think at IL o'clock-he wanders
into the park and seats himself on one
of the benches near Madison avenue His
big, cumbersome boots, ill-fitting clothing,
and rather rusty overcoat lend no distinction
20 his figure, but there is something about his
face with its short. gray beard, and big, brown
eyes that causes men to look at him intently
as they pass.
Sometimes he has book, but he usually
sits with his hands folded idly in his lap, talk
ing gently TO the groups of children who
gather about him with mild and thoughtful
faces Very often four or five little girls
will stand listening to George Francis Train
for hours. In oiden times he would have
been considered a sage; now young America
lights n fresh cigarette, grins, calls him a
crank and passes on.-Brooklyn Eagle

A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM.

We had heard the night-birds calling in the
thickets far away,
While the shades of eve were falling, while
the twilight gathered gray,
And the scented gales of cleaning waited
secrets from the sea,
And the first pale star was cleaning in a
golden mystery.
Then holy calm enwrapt US, and blissful 81
lence fell;
Far away the doves were planning, dronei
the beetle in the dell
Ali the words that are not uttered, like the
songs that are not sung,
Are more musical in cadence than are known
to mortal tongue
All that bygone time We dreamt of, when the
earth was fresh and young,
And great Pan beside the river piped the
rustling reeds among
There were naiads in the streamiets, there
were dryads in the trees,
And the apples still hung golden in the fair
Hesperides.
We are wiser; We have banished from their
haunts the gods of old;
All that wondering faith has vanished with
the outiived Age Of Gold;
Yet, when moonlight winds are blowing,
lovers voices, blending low,
Murmur still the same old story Paris whis-
pered long ago.

types there Is as decided fashions in types IS
there is in ladies' bonnets or any article Of ap-

word style or fashion. The growth in type
founding has been almost startling In the
United States The production Of new faces
began about the time OF the war. Before that
time t., style ran to plain, heavy faces, with
no beauty in them whatever. Suddenly some
type genius cut and produced hght-faced,
graceful letter, and then began a craze for
light-face Shortly afterward another letter
designer produced a japanese design in
border 1t was taken up by every cross-road
printer and impossible Japanese storks looked
down in naughty disdain on equally impossi-
BILE frogs from everything from auction bills
TO note-heads This style of work killed the
ford style of ornamentation.
The next change was the horribly grotesque
style of letter, TO read which one was almost

can have a fat one where the letters are
