are inserted into the flesh of the believing
animal. These rockets explode and set him
atire. Nothing pleases the audience more
than the burning bull. Finally the Mata-
dor appears with sword. He is supposed
to dispatch the beast at once, but for lack of
skill he misses the vital spot, stabs in one
place and another and finally succeeds in
inducing the half dead bull 10 give up the
ghost.
This is what remains of the world-famed
bull fight, celebrated alike in song and
story, and still licensed and indorsed by the
Government of Cuba and Spain and Mexico
in reality it has long ceased 10 be the
fashion. The Cuban lady of position no
longer lends her presence to the scene. The
audience is largely composed of American
sight-seers, who occupy boxes at cost of
$50 Spanish paper) apiece. The benches
are filled by Cinnamon, peddlers, fisher
men, negroes and the middle and lower
class of Cubans and Spaniards. The mu-
latto and yellow girl, gaudily and fiashily
dressed, give the only dash of color to an
otherwise meager and uninteresting assem-
blaze.
The more see of this country's passions,
customs and amusements, the more am
convinced of two things-either it will one
day become race of wild black men (mis-
is continually going on), or
what is perhaps worse, a land of Spanish
desperadoes. Only general insurrection
can uproot the rottenest from its core. But
Cuba libre is yet long way of.

< Tale Of a Century Ago.
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH
BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE.

and all were delighted indeed when he at
last permitted two or three companies OF
his Kentucky recruits to march northward
up the valley, and feel the force which was
said to be gathering.
For Harry Curwen himself he had not
much enthusiasm about the enterprise
which followed. To leave barracks and
fort; yes, that was what they longed for.
The weather was delightful, the autumn
just coming on, and the ride through forests
and across prairies was all that one could
wish. But he knew all the deficiencies in
men and equipment; an aid does. He
knew everything which had been done
wrong, and it was hard for him to think that
of a sudden, in some day of battle, every
thing would go right. With the privates,
and even with Zapoly, it was different. The
count, as they called Zapoly, had amused
himself in fashion by shooting, and some
times by fishing. He was delighted to have
at last an opportunity TO exercise his own
profession, in which, it must be confessed,
his only achievement thus far had been in
the Potato War OF Frederic.
To lounge along, 10 or Is miles day, in
weather generally perfect-thls was the reg
ufar movement of the first three weeks Of
the campaign. If the woods left only a
beaten trail, talk was difficult, but often the
prairies opened so that the officers could chat
together as the horses walked slowly on.
Most of the command was on foot, and it
was impossible to exceed their rate in
days march. At night there was but little
fuss about an encampment. The whole
force was hardly ], 800 men, most of whom
