THE PLAN OF BATTLE.

When the army reached the locality in
which a battle was to be fought the spies
had already been over the ground, and the
eouriers had conveyed description Of it TO
The commander. The plan of action had
oesn determined upon, and the legions took
Up the positions assigned them without any
ielay. This preparation Of the plan of &C
ton was very complete, and it was what en-
abIed the Tarascans TO be so uniformly victO-
rious Their commander had been informed
IF the character Of the ground so thorough
" that he was not only able TO assign his
forces advantageously, but he carried on
with wonderful rapidity pretended repulses,
made apparently unsuccessful advances and
retreated until he had drawn the enemy INTO
Just the place he wanted Then his legions
fell upon the opposing army from all sides
and annihilated it. This was so often done
that the Tarascans, although small nation
compared with the Aztecs maintained their
Independence.
In battle the Tarascan legions carried mag
uificent standards of plumes. In some of
the engagements more than 300 of these stand
ards of white heron feathers glistened in the
sun. Each warrior wore plume of eagle
feathers. A column of smoke upon hilltop
was often the signal that the enemy had been
1rawn into the desired position, and that the
time had come to uncover the ambuscades
and make general charge. Then the bugles
and drums sounded The long lines of waving
plumes seemed to spring up from the ground
and to come from front, TANKS and rear
Even boasted Aztec proves could not stand
before such onset The Tarascans repeat
IDLY destroyed the armies sent against them
and retired to the lake with great numbers
Of prisoners. OF the younger they made
slaves. The older they sacrificed to their
gods. Human sacrifice was the blot on
Tarascan civilization.
1t was honor to die in battle, and the
widows and orphans of dead warriors were
literally pensoned by the government

THE SPANISH EXPOSITION,

The world moves. There is to be an in- ternational exhibition at Barcelona, the most important manufacturing city in Spain, beginning on the sth of next April. Spain has really walked up at last, and by means of this exhibition will put herself in closer communication with the rest of the world. The Spanish government has the exhibition in charge and is managing it for the benefit of the country. It is not expect ed to be money-making affair, and the cost is already calculated to be some $3,000, ,00O more than the probable income. Among the special features of the exposition are hotel with ], 1000 rooms to accommodate the visit ors; an iron tower $50 feet high with eleva- tors; nightly displays of fireworks and light ing of the park, cascade and lake, exhibits promised by the royal family of treasures, tapestries, painting, armor, works of art, etc., now scattered and mostly hidden. The main building, an immense fan-like strue- ture, with radial and semi-circular galleries devoted to exhibits of general nature, will be supplemented by large number of magnif- cent buildings devoted to machinery, agri- culture, sciences (electricity), fine arts, rail way and transportation materials, military and civil engineering, mining, metallurgy, etc., etc., besides the usual buildings for concerts, lectures, offices, the press, jury of awards, cafes, restaurants, etc. One hun dred thousand dollars has been appropriated for medals, diplomas and other prizes for superior exhibits. Every facility and ad- vantage will be afforded exhibitors from this country, for the Spanish government is par ticularly anxious to secure improved com mercial relations with this country, by treaty or otherwise, and is thus disposed to do everything in its power to assist and satisfy American exhibitors.
 The manufacturers of this country will doubtless avail themselves of this opportu- nity to show goods which the Spaniards need. MT. Emile M. Blum, of the New York shipping firm of E. N. Blum & Co.,, has been appointed by the President of the United States delegate to the exposition, and Antonio Cuyas, jr., is delegate to the United States for the exposition on the part of the Snanish poyarnment

Fresh Facts About Gordon's Death

From the Pall Mall Gazette.
 A special funeral service in commemora- tion of Gen. Gordon's death was held on Tuesday at St. Pauls, Eaton square, at p. m. There were present about two hundred persons, mostly friends of the deceased off cer. The Rev. H. Waller, an old personal friend of Gen. Gordon, preached the sermon, and during the discourse read the sworn tes timony of one of the loyal sergeants who was present at Gen. Gordon's death, which was communicated to Lieut.. Gordon, nephew of the late general. This was to the effect that when Gordon heard the rebels in the town he said: 'It is all finished; to-day Gordon will be killed" ," and went down stairs, followed by the four sergsants, who took their rifles with them. He took chair and sat down on the right of the palace door, the four ssrgeanta standing on his left. All at once a sheik galloped up with some Bagaree Arabs. The sergeants were on the point of firing, when Gordon, seizing one of their rifles, said: sNo need of rifles to day; Gordon is to be killed J The sheik told Gordon that he had been or dered by the Mahdi to bring him alive. Cor don refused to go, saying he would die where he was, adding that no harm was to be done to the four sergeants, who had not fired on the rebels. The sheik repeated the order three times, and each time Gordon gave the same answer. After few words the sheik drew his sword, and, rushing up to Gordon, cut him over the left shoulder, Gordon look ing him straight in the face and offering nc resistance. His head was out off and taken to the Mahdi at Omdurman; his body was buried close to the door of the palace and 6 tomb built over it.

Patt,s Belief in the ssEviI Eye.s'
 Ir-or, Aba Ball Mall no1stta I

Some eantatrices are also highly supersti- tious Among those who belong more or less to the Paris stage I may instance Adelina Patti Adelina Maria Clorinda Patti-and, indeed, the whole musical tribe of the Stra- koseh and Patti brood-strongly believe in the jettatore, or ''evil eye." Patti will not sing where there is 6 cross-eyed conductor, just as the blonde Sarah will not play by the side of an actor whose organ of vision is askew; and as those who, like Patti, have been happy and successful are more liable to this fascination, the prima donna never fails to wear @ bracelet or necklace of precious stenes-even shells and corals will do-to counteract the malignant influence which darts from the eyeballs of certain envious and angry persons. She asserts that Often bach, who possessed the evil eye, brought i'll luck with him wherever he went; that he passed through the Rue Lepeletier the night the old opera house was destroyed by fire, when poor Emma Livry was burned alive in the only ballet Ofenbaoh had represented at the opera, and that Mme. Berthelier died while playing in the "Vie Parisienne," for which he wrote the score.

The Due dsOrleaus Fat Ounce.
 AIa.la=..

The young Duke of Orleans, eldest son of
 the Comte de Paris, who has recently been
 visiting her majesty at Windsor, is quite the
 most uninteresting youth it is possible to
 imagine. We had occasion to be brought in
 contact with him on several occasions few
 years ago when he was at school at the Col
 lege Stanislas in Paris, and the opinion form
 cd of him by his masters-i. e., that he was
 @ dunee-was fully endorsed by the comrades
 of his royal highness. He was at that time
 suffering from disease net at all uncommon
 with French boys-extreme obesity amount
 ing almost to deformity-and nothing more
 grotesque can well be imagined than the un- wieldy form of this royalsfat boy clad in the tight tunic of the Lycee. Amiability gene- rally accompanies fatness, but the above case was an exception to the usual rule, for the young duke was most surly youngster and would certainly have received come rough handling had he been at one of our public schools. But at Stanislas the priests protected him as best they could, although there are two sound drubbings to be record ed-one inflicted by young Gontaut Biron, whose mother by an odd coincidence enjoys the hereditary title of "Gouvernante des En- fants de France" or in other words, ''Gov erness to the princes and princesses of the | royal family of France"
