* Havana, April 1£.—No description of a
bull fight can be niailo possible of compre
hension unless a number of words and
terms ure first defined. Plaza de toros,
literally the bull place, is the circus or
structure for the fiesta de toros or bullfight
itself. Of the actors in the aflair the es-
pad&s (spades or blades from the sword)
are the first or most noted matadors or
fighters, hearing the same relation to the
ordinary matador as the “star” does to the
“leading” man upon the stage. His work
is singly to engage and despatch the bull
when tiie animal has been sufficiently en
raged to satisfy the onlookers. Pic-
adoros are horsemen clad in iron
armor to withstand the onslaughts
of the bull. The picador is armed with a
long pike with a blunt steel point. Then
come the b&nderilleros, who, with no re
course of defense save their alertness and
fleetuess, plunge danderillas or barbed
darts two feet long, bedecked with gav
ribbons, into the bull's neck to assist in
enraging him. The chulos are a sort of
general utility ptople to succor *
the rag. Willi a swilt glare at those he
first sought, lie breaks in this direction.
Hut no, over there is the point of on
slattght. Now he sees. He will exter
minate all. Round ihe barrera wall lie
sweeps, his gleaming horns like polished
lances set in deadly rest. '1 he espadasand
matadors smile, leap safely upon the bar
rera, blit regard him closely, lianderil-
leros scatter to the opposite side. The
chulos, like ninilde monkeys, leap in every
direction and vault the entire wall at a
bound. Hut it is the bull that this time
sheds blood, hike matches the forelegs of
aaiids are wild with excitement—and that
all. Six hulls are usually thus ais-
atched; andjit will cost you from $2 to
15 in gold for three hours’ contemplation
this form of torture and murder.

tillero, w’ho stands ready to give the qui
eting stroke when the bull is already fall
en, if he may happen to be tenacious of
life.
Nearly 12,000 people witness every one
of these important fiestas de toros. The
half thousand soldiers are divided into
compact squads and stationed in various
commanding places in the amphitheatre
A few hundred women are here from
Sus mestizos or the mixed bloods, a few of
the poorer whites with their husbands,
and occasionally, in the private boxes, the
wives of high officials, with here and there
a curious American tourist and her com
panions. Ten thousand of the people pres
ent are provided with some hideous and
sound-making device with which to add
the din in emphasizing applause or
acorn. The hand is playing
tlie liveliest airs. Everybody is filled with
expectancy. At precisely 3 o’clock the
governor-general, who acts as the presi
dent or masterof ceremonies, accompanied
by dignitaries and military officers of high
rani, from the forts, enters the nalcc ac!
dresidente and is greeted by applause and
groans Behind the governor-general
stands a trumpeter. At a signal from the
former, shrill and clear above the highest
notes of the band, sounds the order to be
gin. This is greeted with great applause.
Instantly the door of tho puerte de los
toreros ' opens, and the goberna-
dor, or director of amuse
ments, enters, mounted, hat in hand, gal
lops to the barrera In front of the presi
dent, bowa low to him. and, bcio|{ given
the key which unlocka the chtqueros,
passes it to the chiquero or bull-keeper,
and gnllopi from sight where he entered.
Then slowly comes the procession o! espa-
das, matadors, banderilleroa and chulos.
The cupulas and matadors are bareheaded,
their hair done in cues. They are attirco
-in spotless linen, velvet jackets, .jewelled
sasliw, silk knee breeches and hose, and
Year a low, easy, close-fitting shoe. These
costumes are of the costliest material, and
an espada of pride and note
wean upon his person in at
tire and jewels the value of mauy thousand
dollars. The banderilleroa and chulos arc
l?ss expensively hut still richly attired,
As tliwe acton in tho scenes to follow,
perhaps twenty in number, pass before the
president, saluting him, and turn to the
vast throng with smiles and salutations,
while the hand, the trumpet corps, and the
huzzas of the assembled thousands jreet
them In rousing welcome, one catches, in
ihitcof himself, the strange eontagion of
the place, and cannot but Go momentarily
fascinated by th'n true picture of
tho middle ages, so stirringly swept into
the last quarter of our nineteenth
oenturv. In the hubbub and ex
citement your eyes fall on the pica
dors with their long pikes 'heir tawny
raiment covering a hundred pounds of
iren mail, anil their battered sombreros—
tilting irom side to side on their blind-
foliled screws of nags, too poor to die, yet
nomentarily instinctively inspired with
terror—and you comprehend tne doleful
ridiculous side of it all.
TitEnoirr BEGINS.
But the vociferousness of the crowd and
the clamor of the musical instruments
have increased as those In the arena, cast-
ting their bright-colored cs|-ss aside, have
gracefully arranged themselves along tho
barrera. The door of the toril opens at
the signal of the trumpeter. A
banderi lero flashes bis scarlet
cloak at the wild bull within his dark pen.
For an instant there is heard a threaten
ing roar. Another flash of the hated scar
let and 12,000 are upon their feet breath
less. The challenge is accepted, with a
rush. The man will be killed instantly,
yon feel, with your heart in your throat.
So quickly that your eye can scarcely

whole tiank, and the luckless picador turn-
hies to the ground in a helpless heap. The
hull springs back to finish his deadly
work; but the chulos have
a dozen Bcarlot challenges to
divert him. On he rushes around tlie cir
cle, putting everything to flight beforo
him, madly charging a group of hande-
rilleros and chulos in the centre of the
arena, scattering them in every direction,
and, suddenly stop pin, whirls about and
about defiantly, and as he stands there
threatening his enemies on every hand;
noblest tv|«> of brute life, and so grandly
scornful of death. A thrill of recognition
of his magnificent bravery quivers through
Jhe vast audience until it shouts “brava
toro!” “brava toro!” “brava tore!” and
the hands and trumpets are silenced in the
bedlam of human sound.
A DESPERATE BRUTE.
That hull will fight and will kill some
thing or somebooy. Every soul there
knows it. The excitement increases. He is
given no rest. Here is a scarlet cloak,
there a crimson caps, beyond a red muleta
again and again taunt him. Headlong he
goes storming a group of Imnderilleros and
clinios, charging here, there, and like a
Hash flinging one luckless fellow over both
harroras like a rat, to fall bruised and
bleeding amoi g the wildly. excited
P |de; whirling and seeming tc
no and rebound from all fours instant
ly lie breaks for a picador sent out to meet
him. The picador, with pica at rest, and
his fear-stricken animal quaking beneath
him, prays to the Virgin, and is ready.
Receiving the great pike like a wisp, the
bull with a terr fie lunge sets his horn
cigar to the head in the doomed horse’s
breast, and with another hound and
savage lunge has completely disemboweled
him—horse, picador and hull coming to
the ground with a crash in a cloud of
dust, the assembled thousands howling
in a perfect frenzy of delight.
The chulos hasten to ’the fallen pica
dor, standing him against tlie barrera like
a fallen scarecrow; the two dead horses
arc piled together; the bands and trumpets
and people incresdc their din; and the
bull, wild now with his own havoc, seeks
new conquering everywhere within the
arena. Every actor there is alert. His
life everv instant de|iends on that. But
the surging masses now howl with derision
at them all. This becomes, such a storm
that the trumpet orders an attack upon the
hall. Now come teals of daring that are
marvellous. 1'rotn the chiqucrss gild:
a banderillero with a gay umbrella i

the arena and in a moment

Nal Im- lt-I Paige Tells IVhat the Kx.Senator
Satfl About lllaine and Others.
From tho New York Press.
The last political utterances of ltcscoe
Conkling occurred a week before his fatnl
illness began. Nathaniel Paige, of Wash
ington, an eminent lawyer and whilom a
brilliant war correspondent, was an inti
mate friend of the dead statesman. He
was at tiie Fisth Avenue Hotel yesterday,
anil related in substance what Mr. Conk
ling said ond how lie came to talk politics.
“A week before his final illness I called
upon hiui at Ids office down town,” said
Mr. Paige. ‘‘My visit was one of business
purely, and after a stay of ten minutes I
arose to depart. Before I reached tlie door
lie asked mu to he seated, as he desired to
talk to me. For two hours I listened to
the most brilliant aud scathing political
oration I ever heard. What he said and
his manner made it all seem to me as some
weird inspiration, and left suehuu Impres
sion upon me that > scarcely slept any that
night.' Very o- n lie seemed to forget my
presence anil spoke as if ho were address
ing the Senate, lie began with an arraign
ment of (he two political parties, saying:
“Wo have two parties in this country,
and what are they? They have been go
ing down, down, until now they have
almo-t reached the lowest depths. What
- commentary upon the polities of a great
public! They represent two colossal or
ganic appetites thirsting for spoils. The
two parties are like two beasts trying to
devour each other. Tho American citi
zens arc intelligent and fur aliove the av
erage citizen in the old world. They are
the pomp and stay of the republic, and
have the spirit of freedom in them handed
down from sire to son. Thev are honest,
intelligent and energetic. 3 lie men that
make laws for them on Capitol Hill do not
represent them. They represent the saloon
and the debauched elements of the conn-
try.”
“Mr. Conkling then assailed the methods
adopted to elect Buch men to Congress and
the corruption so rampant and unblush-
ingly resorted to to defeat the opposition.
He paid his respects to the prominent Re
publicans, beginning with Mr. Blaine, of
whom ho spoke very kindly auu with
any trace of animo ity: ‘He is an able
and brilliant man, but I do not consider
him a great statesman. But pre-eminent
among many of his attainments he pos
■esses the political acumenina degreethat
1 daces him far above his contemporaries,
dr. Blaine surpasses, i- deed, with his po
litical astuteness.’ Mr. Conkling had
nothing but good will in his remarks
sbnut Mr. Blaine; but of President Gar
field, of whom he spoke next, he had noth
ing to say that was not denunciatory. For
half an hour he spoke with intense bitter
ness about Garfield.
“1 asked him how he thought Jndj
Miller would run as a Presidential candi
date. and said that I was for him. Mr.
Conkling replied that he thought Judge
Miller an honest and able man, ar.d that
he would vote for him readily. Aa for
Judge Gresham, he thought he was an in
corruptible lawyer ar.d citizen. Allison
lie said, was not sound enough on the cur
rency question. He never lost sight of the
fact that tho American people, thoso who
did not make politics a study, were the
mainstay of the republic; and, if they
knew it, were able to turn out the pot
house and ward politic!-ns who sat in
Congress and misrepresented them.”
Tlie Ludicrous llluialer Whirl; Turned All
tlie Wits toaio on Judge Moulton.
From the Chicago Mail.
I saw Judge Moulton, of Shelbyville,
up here the other day,” said an Illinois
politician who sat chatting with two or
three friends in the rotunda of the Palmer
House. “It was the first lime I’d seen him
for a long time. I used to live down that
way when he was on the Supreme bench
ana about the time he went to Congress,
and knew him pretty well. Ate at the same
hotel ta> 1c with him the summer ilia wife
went to Europe. Hc’b not much changed
during the fifteen years; a little grayer,
and perhaps slightly th-liner, but pretty
much the same judge that used to bo the
butt of all Bavless Hanna’s and Judge
Hess’ and Put Mitchell’s and George It.
Wendling’s jokes. Wendling and Hess
were invetcrute wags, and it was their
chief delight to worry Judge Moulton.
Perhaps you don’t know that lie’s afflicted
with myopia, but it’s a fact that he could
not tell a brick house from a haystack
across the street, he’s so frightfully near-
iglited. Wendling used to say he some
times made a mistake and kissed the hire il
girl on the stairs, taking her for Ids wife.
But that was probably one Gf George's lies.
“Anyhow, tlie judge is powerfully ni-nr-
‘ ;hted. For instance, one day lie was go-
sig
ing to the court house from the hotel when
he met nil amiable town cow on the cross
ing. The judge is a courteoutRgentlemari,
with old school manners, and taking the
cow for a lady, he lifted his hat gallantly,
With a bow, a smile, a pleasant ‘tjood
morning, madam,’ he stepped clear ofi the
walk to allow the object of his deference to
the banderillero at a safe distance, the en
raged brute charging madly in every di
rection, and the onlookers almost uncon
trollable in jp ecs'acy of excitement.
This is repented and repeated, with _ vary
ing fortunes and perfection, until the
bull's black eye is fijled, like a target in
archery, with torturing darts. A contin
ual increase of frenzy possesses the crowd.
“Fucgol” “fucgol" “fucgol” is- screamed
from 10,000 throats. The trumpet shrilly
echoes "Fire 1” Now banderilias charged
with bombs which explode with
the resonance of a gun are dar
ingly plunged in the bull’s back
aud shoulders. Madly he charges upon his
tormeutors ■■ the bombs burst, tearing the
flesh away and flooding his panting aides
with blood. With a tremendous rush he
forces his relentless enemies to flight and
madly leaps upon tho barrera, tumbling
down upon his back, driving the dozens o!
darts and exploding banderilias further
into his quivering flesh, and bounds up
ward into the air from the awful agony he
endures. For a moment he groans. Then,
with a quick writhing of hu whole mad
dened frame, he sweeps around and around
the arena with his noble head aloft. In
his desperate agony he seems to be looking
with human eyes into inhuman eye* for
pity, for help.
THE FINAL SPURT.
Suddenly the flash of a red handker
chief in the hands of the president is seen.
Like a flash the espada, with a long, keen

The Seven Gtriicisra Boys
“Well, Hess saw it and told Mitchell,
and when the judge got to the court house
the whole bar jumped on him and guyed
him unmercifully. They got him madder
than a hornet, and after . lauding it aliont
as long as lie could without fighting he
gathered up his umbrella and hat and put
out for the hotel. Just ns he was in the
middle of the same crossing he met a lady,
hut he wasn’t to be fooled lignin hv decep
tive appearances, so, with a flourish of his
umbrella, befshouted:
“‘Hwa there -yoi Get off the walk! 1
“Well, this capped the climax, and old
Cap Ellington, who kept the hotel, and
who saw the judge’s queer break, just laid
down on the front walk and howled. It
took the judge ten minutes to find out what
it was all about, but when lie did realize
his blander he didn’t wait for dinner, nor
for Hess and Mitchell and WendfiDg to
have a chance at him, but just gathered up
his bag of briefs and lit out on the noon
traiu for Duauoin, or wherever it was his
court sat, and lie didn’t come back again
until his wife came home.
“But the story was not forgotten, and it
used to be told on him when he was run-
ning for Congress, and it was even current
at Washington, where it followed him. He
always said it was a lie, but I guess it was
straight goods.”

Colonel Fentherstone, of Floyd, for tits

From the Tribune, of Rome.
Flo<d county presents this gentleman as
her candidate for a seat on the Supreme
Court bench of Georgia.
Yesterday the bar of Hub city met and
passed resolutions strongly endorsing Mr
Feathcrstono for this position. This action
means much, very much, for it was taken
by thoso who know him best, and with
whom his daily life is spent. There is no
hint of fulsome flattery in these resolu
tions, for they gome from men who would
favor no man for the exalted and respon
sible place whose abilities and require
ments fall short of the ntccssary standard.
Mr. Feaiherston is a lawjer of brilliant
parts. He is considered the peer of any
man at the Georgia bar in a comprehen
sive knowledge of the law, and the ability
to lucidly interpret it. His is, naturally,

It looks very much as if the President's
idea that a man must not be more titan 55

Mr. Phelps is probably a stronger man

far as mental training, broad culture, stu

Mr. Featherston nsa no superior among
the lawyers of the State. In fact, he has
few equ >ls.
But there is another consideration, an
other strong reason why Floyd county
urge* the election of this gentleman to tlie
position named. He is tbe choice of North
Georgia, a section of the State without rep
resentation on the supreme bench, and un
represented there since the days of Dawson
A. Walker. It ia but right and proper
that at least one of the Supreme Court
justices should come from this section of
the commonwealth; a section by far the
richest and most nrogre-sive of any in tlie
State. While the "application o"f legal
