The Love Of Bull.Fighting.
From the London Telegraph.

CEom tuo LuHuou 4ele&r6pn.
Cervantes, in his immortalromance,
literally and definitely 'laughed
Spains chivalry away;;" and his
mordant irony efectually and ire
vocably shattered such faith as had
grown up in the apocryphal legends
of Bernardo del Carpio, Amadis de
Gaul, Palmerin of England, and the
giant Morgante, and the rest
of the teeming and preposterous
progeny of the old Spanish chroni-
clers. In fact, the chivalry to which
he dealt the death stroke was more
than three parts dead before he
smote it. There were assuredly
nothing chivalrous in the wonderful
American exploits of Cortez and
Pizarro. Those sublime ,filibusters
fought and conquered in Mexico and
Peru, not for the sake of the smiles
of the queen of beauty, but for the
sake of plunder and dominion; nor
was there anything that was chival-
rous, although there was O great
deal that was superstitiously besot-
ted, in the long and devasting wars
Of Charles V. and Phillip IL.
The illustrious author of sDon
Quixote," however, laughed away
neither the bull ring nor the "auto-
de-fe." His ridicule, trenchant as it
was lacked the power to abrogate
such enormities, simply for thereason
that the inflated senti-
ment which passed for chivalry
was only transient fashion,
whereas the love of witnessing and
beholding the spectacle of pain is q
quality deeply and hereditary in
grained in the Spanish character. A
revolution was necessary in the pen
insula-not only the inquisition had
to be abolished, but the monastic
orders Observation-Disclosures the revolving
cruelties of the "Quemadero" could
be rooted cut; but bull-fghting mas
survived the stake and the "sanbeni-
to-" not only because the brutal
sports of the Plaza de Toros are de-
lighted in by the great mass of the
people, but Cor the reason that there
is no class in the Spanish community
influential enough to bring about q
surcease in these ferocious entertain
ments. The "matadores' have a
great many things more important
to think about than any particular
pair of velvety eyes or vermilion lips
among the audience. They are aware
that the amateurs of tauromachy-
and their name is legion-have Il
double object in coming to the hor-
rible show. They will be moderately
gratified if the "matador" kills the
bull; but they will be estatically over
joyed if the bull kills the ''matador."
Thus the latter literally fights with
his life in his hand. Alone he must
face the bull. He may not advance
on the brute; it must attack him;
and to meet it's fearful onslaught he
has only his single rapier. Such is
the real bull-tghter, a man who
must be endowed with almost pre-
natural qualities of courage, skill,
and presence of mind. all exercised in
the most disgracefully unworthy of
causes. As for the "courses de taur-
eaux" in the south of France, they
are the merest and the feeblest of ex>
otics, and the braggadocio utterances
of such holiday bull-fghters as the
Sieur LIE Pouly should be regarded
as not much more than leather and
prunella.

On ono OF Jne De6G0 OF q rA1lW az

daughter; opposite, facing them, was
another child, q son, and q colore d
'lady" with q baby. The mother OF
these children was q beautiful matron,
with sparkling eyes, in exuberant
health and vivacious spirits. Near
her sat q young lieutenant, dressed
to kill, and seeking a victim. He
scraped up an acquaintance with the
mother by attentions to the children.
1t was not long before he was essay
ing to make himself very agreeable
to her, and by Tho time the sun be-
gan to decline one would have
thought they were old familiar friends.
The lieutenant felt that he had made
an impnession-his elation manifested
it. The lady, dreaming of no wrong,
suspecting no evil, was apparently
well pleased with hhercasualacquaint-
ance. By and by the train ap.
preached a tunnel. The gay lieute.
nant leaned over and whispered
something in the lady's ear. It was
noticed that she appeared to be
thunderstruck, and her eyes imme-
diately famed with Indignation. A
moment more and a smile lighted up
her features. What changes? The
smile was not one of pleasure, but
was sinister. 1t was unperceiyed by
the lieutenant. She made him q re-
ply which rejoiced him very much.
For the understanding properly of
this narrative we must tell the reader
what was whispered and what was

"Not if I can help it," replied the
lady.
Into the tunnel the train ran,
while the lady and colored nurse
quickly exchanged seats. The gay
lieutenant Immediately threw his
arms around the lady sable, pressed
her cheek to his, and fast and furious
rained kisses on her lips. In few
moments the train came out into
broad daylight.

lady, not in an undertone, but in a

all in the carriage. See how your
collar is rumpled and your bonnet
smashed.
Jane, poorcolored beauty, hung her
head for a moment, the observed of
all observers and then, turning
round to the lieutenant, replied,
''This man kissed me in the tunnel -

Few matters deserve more care than the

irreparable and on the other hand unless
the lenses are properly adjusted to the vi

to see without them altogether.

science has yet been able 10 produce, be-
ing perfectly colOrless, have no eprsmatic

core or the centre OF the glasses come di-
rectly in front Of the eye. and consequently
do not tire the eye, but produce clearand
distinct vision as in the natural healthy

that frequent change is Unnecessary. with
q view OF adjusting the lenses 10 the re-
quirements Of the eye. the sight is measur-
ed by new system, which enables anyone

fence proved the most unerring guide.
IL is now clearly proved that by the use
of scientifically manufactured spectaeles,

Inherited Diseases.

No fact of nature Is more pregnant
with awful meaning than the fact OF the
inheritance Of disease.
Modern science, which has illuminated
so many dark corners of nature, has she'd
a anew light on the ominous words Of tho
Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers,
shall be visited upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation"
Fifty per cent. Of cases of consumption,
cancer and scrofula, run in families
itary IN a marked degree, but, fortu-
nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tends to wear itself out, Che
stock becoming extinct. A distin-
guished scientist truly says: mo organ
or texture of the body is exempt from
the chance of being the subject OF
hereditary disease.n Probably more
chronic diseases, which permanently
modify the structure and functions OF
the body, are more or less liable to be In
herited. The important and far-reaching
practical deductions from such facts
are obvious to rejecting minds, and the
best means for preventing or curing
these diseases Is a subject Of intense in
terest TO all. Fortunately nature has
provided remedy, which experience
has attested as infallible, and the reme-
dy is the world-famous Swift's Specific,
a pure vegetable ompound-nature's
antidote for all blood poisons. To the
afflicted it is blessing OF inestimable
value. An interesting treatise on
