a SPANISH BULL FIGHT.
An Unwilling COmbatant Goaded to Fight
by MerciIess Tormentors.

Dy mercHess TOrmentors.
Since the middle of the preceding
night the bull has been shut up in his
dark toril, deprived OF water and food,
as well as Of light and freedom. His
huge restless body has chafed against
the oaken walls of his pen as he turned
in every direction, seeking for what
had been so unaccountably taken away
from him; and he has driven his horns
into the tough wood, splitting thick
planks in repeated, mighty, but fruit
less, efforts to escape.
Suddenly there is ia burst of light, the
battered door swings open; it seems
that at the end Of a narrow passage a
smooth plain Of yellow sand lies gleam-
ing in the sunshine. He dashes out along
the passage and then stands still in
furious, british amazement, the CEN
tral figure in a multitude of beings 80
entirely unlike himself That is all he
sees where he had hoped to find water
for his parched throat. He is disap-
pointed and disgusted. The only four
footed animals in sight are those
wretched horses Now, the bull never
thoroughly appreciates and likes the
horse, but he will not attack him un-
provoked, much less will he voluntari-
ly attack a horse with the strange
figure of picador on his back.
Then the chulos draw near him as
he stands, waving their cloaks to
tempt his charge; but he sees in them
only four small two-legged animals
who offer him nothing to eat or drink.
So he just runs away from them TO the
barrier and leaps over II. There is a
second barrier protecting spectators
in the front rows of seats, and be-
tween these two barriers he is driven
along until door in the first can be
swung back, barring the way and
obliging him TO re-enter the ring. I'm
mediately the chulos are at him again;
and he appears to have made up his
mind by this time TO accept the inev-
table, for he now deigns TO notice
them, charging their brightly-colored
cloaks as though such sport could al
leviate the panRs of hunger and thirst.
The bull, already showing some signs
Of fatigue, has now to face the most
provoking of all his antagonists. The
banderilleros stand In front Of him,
holding dart in either hand, inviting
him to come and make short work OF
them as he had done with the horses.

One of the finest scenes ever wit
messed In church is related of Sun
day morning at Brooklyn, when Beech
er told about g. friend Of his who had
called his attention TO the peculiarly
sad case Of young girl who was to be
sold that week, but who, having fallen
into the hands of slave dealer less
obdurate than some, had obtained per
mission TO try to collect from charita-
bic souls her own purchase price that
she might gain her liberty. Beecher's
help had been imploted and he had
brought the girl there that morning.
He called her up to the platform and
said: "This girl will be sold to-mor-
row unless we save her to-day. Her
price is one thousand two hundred dol
lars" and sat down. Without another
word the deacons sprung up and began
to make collection. Women who had
no money with them tore off their or
naments to place on the plates, and
two men walked up TO the platform
and told the preacher that whatever
the collection might be they would
guarantee the needed sum, and the girl
was free. And then the vast congrega-
tion of three Thousand people, Sunday
morning though it was, rose and
cheered in gladness of thanksgiving.

the rate from Park city will be g..
Tickets will be sold on the certificate
plan and to be good returning will be
signed by the secretary, Mr.. G. NJ. jack
son. The hotels in the city have all made
rates for the graduates.
An idea seems TO prevail that this con-
veution is designed for the purpose of adj
vertising the institute especially. Such is
not the case by any means. The NEE ing
was planned by the graduates of the in
stitute for the purpose of holding re-
union and organizing a branch of the
Kelley league of the United States which
will be done. and delegates elected to rep
resent Utah at the national convention OF
Kelley leagues at Chicago next Septem-
Der.
There will be free baths and an excur-
sion to Beck's hot springs on the morn
ing of the second day, and a banquet in
the evening. the convention not meeting
on the morning of Saturday.

bands and brothers, and the difficulty
they have in starting makes them afraid
to ride through the streets where FREE
quent dismounting is necessary. An
English rider has invented a device
which will do away with this difficulty
and put lady athletes on equal terms with
men in this respect. powerful spring
is attached to the wheel bearing the
greatest weight, and this is wound up by
either pushing the machine back three or
four feet, or BY spinning the wheel back
ward. The moment the rider gets his or
her foot on the step the machine starts of
its own option, and attains sufficient
momentum to give the rider chance to
get comfortable before the necessity of
operating the pedals commences. Springs
have been tried on cycles before for the
purpose of providing motive power for
climbing hills; they have generally failed
because OF their great weight, but as q
comparatively light spring will do for
starting purposes, the same objection
ought not to prevail.
