Frog"
Gan OK tramped on the frog and squashed him.
His brothers and sisters ran home and told their
mother, and she said, How big was hep and
she said, AS big as this?' and swelled herself
out; and they said, If you do that again, you'll
bust;' and the old fule done it again and busted.

A Singular EIv.

On State Entomologist Lintner's desk,
in the Capitol, says an Albany letter to the
New York Times. is . jelly glass which
contains several hundreds Of exceedingly
lively small flies. When asked about
then Prof. Lintner said they were sent to
him by q lady from An Sable Forks, who
thought they were very curious insects,
since frost can not kill them. The Doc
tor said:
They have been living by thousands
all the winter on the windows of q room
without fire. She first raw them eight
years ago and each year since then they
have made their appearance. first on the
brick wall outside in the month Of An.
gust. and later in the house, and always
in this one room. No other house in the
place has them. This 10 the third in
stance in which l have heard Of this fly
infesting dwelling houses. The first was
at Franklin, N. H., where 1t enters q GER
tain house each year in August, literally
by millions, to the great annoyance Of
the family, who resort to every known
means to rednce its numbers, but without
success, apparently, and the flies regu-
larly leave during the latter part of April.
"A house in Alfred Center, N. Y, is the
other place where it is known that the flies
appear. The fly belongs to q family
many of which are known to feed on the
stems and roots Of grains. Where this
breeds has not yet been found out. The
strangest thing about it is that il shows
an instinct even more wonderful than
that Of the carrier pigeon, which leads

A Spanish Ball Fighter.

Strolling through the magnificent cafes
Of Barceiona with q friend, says . writer
in Frank Leslie's Monthly, he vas able to
do me what wa regarded the highest favor
and honor that oan possibly come TO .
stranger in Spain. This was an introduce
ton to IN ambitious and already almost
famous ball fighter, or espada, Of this city.
This recalled personal "reminiscences OF
this class Of men, and some interesting
facts concerning the greatest two living
sspadas, Francisco Sanchez and Louis
Nazzantini. The latter / have known.
Perhaps the most famous Of oil mata-
dores. the sspada primsro Of the world, IL
Francisco Sanches (alias Lagsrtijo). He
IL probably the most daring, skiilful bull
fighter that svsr lived. His handling OF
the wild and savage bulls Of Jaraina is
something marvellous. He nov seldom APP
pears. $4,000 being demanded and So
cured In advance for each performance.
He l. q very great pet With the spanish
nobility, 10 immensely rich, end was the
warm personal friend OF the late King Al.
fonso. Other famous espadas are Rafael
Molina, Angel Pastor, Jose Gomez, Her
mosilia, Juan Sanchez and Louis Naxxan-
tint, already mentioned.
The latter 10 rapidly becoming the Arst
Spanish favorite. His life has bssn full
Of romance and adventure. He va dss-
tined for the priesthood by his parents,
who were people Of refinement and proper
aspiration. He possessed . poetic, rest
less nature and ran away from the uni
versity.
Joining . band Of strolling musicians,
he wandered for ssversl years through the
Spanish provinces, breaking many : fair
lady's heart and having his own broken BY
q sweet little peasant girl Of ArsnjusE. His
friends finally found him and secured him
a government position in the postal de-
partment at Madrid. But he deserted this.
Then hs wrote poems, which we're gladly
printed, but would not sell. Soon b sang
In opera; but fame VA too great . lag
gard. Then he publicly announced that
he would become the most famous bull
fighter in Spain. Spain laughed 1t him.
That alone gave him note. Thon he gave
the Spanish people this saying: "Not q
king, but . tenor or bull fighter only can
enslave Spain" He 10 still young. He ID
always . gentleman. He has already
amassed wealth, and 10 the only rival Of
the peerless espada, Francisco Sanchez, in
the affections Of the people Of Spain.
