DANIEL WALKER, Principal
on for scholastic month,
The Barbarous Pastime Which Fur
nishes Amusement for the Span
ish Populnoe.
Madrid, Spain, .Tune 18th.
IIo, for (he bull-light!
It is 8 o’clock in the afternoon, and
the street of the Alcala, which Tends
away from tho Puerto del Sol towards
the country, presents n scone of unusu
al activity. There are vehicles of overy
conceivable sort. Tho street cars Iibvo
been massed on this special line, and
now the mules go galloping at the crack
of tho whip, while the car, packed and
jammed, permits a few lmngers-on, ns in
Democratic America. The clumsy ve
hicles, marked “servicio publico," are
out in full force, and their drivers an
nounce at full lungs, "Las corrida* dc
toros," only a few times before their
vehicles are tilled with passengers, and
away .they go. Here and tlioro among
these modest vehicles may bo scon the
rich .equipage with the driver in liv
ery j but one impulse seems to move all,
aud the drivers, bent upon tho same
course, shout and crack tlmir whips ns
tho vehicles follow each other in a jam
in the crowded streets. The sidewalks,
too, are all in a stir ns the multitude
good-naturedly press oneh other In
their eagerness to pass and ropass, and
everybody seems to bo in a good humor.
Do you ask why this unusual stirV
There is to be n bull-tight at 4 o’clock,
and it seems that all Madrid, together
with tlte strangers in her gates, have
turned out to witness it. We chance
to fall -in with a company of pedestri
ans, wljp are discussing ip musical
Spanish tho bull-fight soon to take
place; and, togethur with them, move
along with the multitude, until soon
wo reach the groat amphitheatre in the
suburbs of the city. As wo enter and
have our position assigned wo (h,d our
self in the midst of a chattering, ex
pectant multitude of fourtoeo thousand
people, who wait witli keen intercut to
see the first bull rush into the nrena. It
is yet, however, more than ten minutes
before tlioir curiosity will be gratified,
aud during this time wo nro nble to ex
amine our surroundings,
From our position we look down upon
tho circular plaza nrena below. It is at
least fifty yards in diameter, and sur
rounded by a heavy wooden barricade
six feet in height. Between this hard-
cade and the first tier of seats Is a space
of eight feet. From this point the south
rise In tiers one above the other. Half
way up two feallories jut out one above
the other, .and above, below and all
around, tffe sweep of the amphitheatre
is ono sea of faces.
The irten are In the majority, but
there must be at least fopr thousand
women, and they seem as eager as the
men for the sport to commence. Just
to the left of us, fn the principal gal-,
lery, Is the pftvillioti for the Queen and
members ofthe royal family. It is rich
ly draped’in Velvet and surmounted by
the Spanish flag, To the side of this is
the space reserved for the president of
the bull-flght, and just on the opposite
side of the plaza is stationed a military
band.
We have now but a few minutes lon
ger to wait, for the president is In posi
tion, the “Infanta” and some other
members of the royal family are al
ready in tho pavillion, and the fourteen
thousand faces are turned in expectan
cy towards the arena.
Ah! there is a sudden blust of trum
pets. At the signal the heavy gate of
the barricade swings open, and into the
plaza gallop two horsemen, richly deco
rated. Their appearance is greeted
with tumultuous applause, and as they
make the tour of the plaza three times
with their cockade hats in hand the ap
plause continues. It is a bull-flght ex
traordinary and the two horsemen are
“gentlemen”—that is to say, they are
not professional bull-fighters, but men
who, for their own entertainment, some
times engage in. the sport.
This is the beginning of the pro
gramme, which, according to the Span
ish, is “cabelleros en plaza.” Suddenly
one of them, mounted on a beautiful
black pony, turns and gallops directly
across the arena, and stopping short at
the opposite side, just in front of the
president’s pavillion, rises in his stir
rups and lifts his hat in a special salute.
This salute is a request for the key to
the stalls where the bulls are confined.
Up to this time the key has been in the
hands of the president. In answer to
the salute the key is cast into the arena,
and finds its way to tho keeper of the
stalls. In the absolute darkness of his
stall the first bull to be sacrificed is al
ready being pricked by sharp-pointed
javelins until he is goaded and en
raged to desperate fury. Now the pres
ident lifts his handkerchief, and the
trumpets sound again At this second
signal the gate of the barricade swings
open, and at the same moment the bull
is released from his prison. It takes but
a moment for him to run tho course of
the dark alley that leads from his stall
to the arena, directly under the portion
of the amphitheatre where the band is
stationed, and now he bounds furiously
into the arena. For a moment ho
pauses, raises his head, and seems to
look in wonder upon tho multitude.
Then suddenly lowering his head lie
catches a glimpse of the two horsemen
who are stationed on the opposito side
of the nrena. It is a critical moment
with thorn, for their safety depends
upon the speed of their trained ponies,
and their cool judgment in avoiding
tho bull’s attacks. Now nil is excite
ment, and as tho bull ehargos upon tho
nenrost horseman people riso in tlmir
seats ami lean forwnrd in tho eagerness
to wituess the result of tho first attack.
Hut just ns tho bull lowers bis head to
plant his horns in the fiank of the pony,
the wiry little animal dashes away, and
the bull, seeing that the horse has es
caped him, follows in hot pursu* .
Again ho is just on the point of goring
tho pony with his long horns when the
rider leans to emo side and dexterously
plants a barbed dart in the nock of the
bull and, giving the handle a skiUful
twist, breaks it off, leaving the lower
part of the dart, which is deoornted
with a spiral coloredpnpor, dangling in
the bull’s neck. Tho pain thus pro
duced caused the bull to pause. His
failure to shake tho dart from his neck
servesfonly to increase his fury and he
returns to the attack. This time it is
the socond horseman who receives the
attnuk, and who, uftor a short chase,
succeeds in placing another dart in tiio
bull's neck.- Thlii continued until six
dftrts Wore dangling from his heck, und
as each of theso were successfully plant
ed in its position tho multitude went
wild with dollght. Now tho president
raises his handkerchief, tho trumpets
sound, and the attention of the bull is
attracted away from the horsonien; a
gato in the barricade is quickly opened
and t he two horsemen gallop out, the
gato Imngs behind thoni, nnd tho bull Is
left nlono in the nrena. Blood trickles
down his forelegs, and enraged by the
pain lie rushes frantically nrmfnd the
arena nnd makes nn olf*rt to leap the
barricade and charge upon the specta
tors. With one furious hound ho sue-
ceeds in placing his forelegs over the
harrier, and just a little more lie would
lpivo passed it, but with a dull, lieavj
thud lie falls back into t lie arena, the
weight, of his fall sinking tho darts
deeper into his neck. The applause is
now tumultuous. Tho hull scaiooly ha*
time to regain liis feet ere the "quad
rille” enters. Six or eight of the men
carry richly colored cloths. One of
them advances towards the bull, and
infolding his cloth waves it to his
right, when the bull immediately
charges it.
Now tho "bandorillaro” enters, bear
ing in his hands two darts, each of which
is decorated with a spiral of colored pa-
per. This is a difficult and dangerous
tusk, for/"having only the dart* in his
lldtlll f Itll ItltllL ultllilb sstlll tvn la.
hand, the bull’^ attack wfll, be .directly
at his person. lie advances towards
the center of the arena, and, stopping
abort, takes a dart or banderijla in each
hand and wavos thorn at the bull, Ills
purpose is to plant the banderillas, one
by tha side of the other, in the flesh of
the bull’s back, just above the forelegs.
Now the bull, bloody with the strokes
he has already received and furious
with pain; lowers hie head and bounds
to tho attack. A deep hush pervades
the multitude as they wait in exciting
suspense to see the result. Now the
bull’s horns almost touch tho “bandu-
rillero,” and he is near enough to blow
his hot breath upon him, when by ono
quick, dexterous stroke he plants the
banderillas in their position and im
proves the slight pause that the pain
causes the bull to leap aside and save
himself.
Tho upplause now fairly shakos tho
amphitheatre, and the “banderilloro”
is compelled to raise his hat several
times in answer to the applause that
continues.
Immediately after this success the
matador” enters the arena. In one
hand he bears a blood-red cloth, and in
the other a long, keen sword. The bull
is already fatigued and stands panting
and foaming at the mouth. But at the
appearance of the red cloth he springs
forward once more to the attack. He
seems not to see the “matador,” but
only the red cloth, and as the cloth is
unfurled he charges upon it. The “mat
ador” swings the cloth first to one Bide
and then the other, allowing the bull
to pass almost under bis arm at times
in his attacks upon it. At last, wearied
almost to death, the bull stops, and as
the “matador” unfurls the cloth before
hiiq he stands gazing at it in a sort of
stupid wonder. This is the moment the
“matador” seeks, and, raising his keen
sword; he plunges it into the bull’s back
just behind his forelegs, and the keen
blade sinks to the handle, piercing the
heart of the bull. For a few moments
the bull stands, giving an occasional
cough as the jjlood collects in his
mouth, then suddenly falls and in a
moment is dead. The multitude, wild
with delight, clap their hands and cast
their hats in tho air, and the band
strikes up a martial air of triumph and
“all goes merry as a marriage bell.”
During this period of applause a strong
rope has been fixed about the bull’s
horns; a team of three mule*, with
their heads decorated with Spanish
flags, gallop into the arena; the rope
around the bull’s horns is attached t;
the large single-tree, and at the crack
of the whip they gnllopout as suddenly
ns they fame, dragging the lifeless bull
after them. Again the spectators ap
plaud.
< In succession,,two other bulls are sac
rificed and the scenes described above
are repeated.
Before the fourth bull enters tho arc
na, however, tho seenA changes, ntul
now there are two horsemen in the are
na. They nro mounted upon sorrj
horses, and ench horse has ht!| eyes cov
ered by a bandage, while utigh man car
ries a long pique with heavy handle,
eight feet long. At a signal the fourth
bull bounds into tho arena and, sooinv
the horsouion, rushes furiously at them.
The poor horse cannot see his danger
and stands still, without a warning ol
what is to come. The “picador,” a*.
I hey call him, turns His lirtrse’s| liemi
slightly in tho direction of tho bull, and
taking his pique firmly in hand, squares
himself to receive the attnek. The
pique pierces the bull's flesh ns he
Yusbes upon the horse, but not onough
to stop limt, ami his long horns are
plunged into the belly of tho hors£. In
bis fury the bull tosses tho horse off his
fool, and tho “picador,” losing his bal
ance, horse and “picador" fail in one
heap. Immediately a “bhnderllloro”
with his rod Moth entices tho bull away
from the fallen horse and “picador,"
and two assistants lenp into the arena
Imd assist the “picador” to gain Im
font, for he wears a coat-of-nmil to pro*
tect him against n possible attack of
tho bull when in his fallen condition.
Tho liorso in the monutlme rises to hi*
feet, nnd, entirely disemboweled, gal
lows around the arena with his entraih
dangling between bis feet, while the
Spanish rabble npplnud. Notwithstand
ing the condition of the lrnor horse the
“picador" succeeds in mounting him
again, nnd hy sinking Ids heavy spurs
in his side, races him forward again to
be attacked by the bull. This time with
one furious bellow tht bull buries hi*
horns near the region of the horses’
heart, and the poor boast falls never to
rise lignin.
Tills cruel sport continued until four
teen horses nnd ten bulls had been sac
rificed for the entortainnient of the
multitude, and at each revolting spec
tacle Of ehiHlty the nmphiteatre re
sounded with “bravo! bravo!”—and the
applause was hearty and frequent.
Knob is the Spanish bull-flght, a relic
of a hill borous age, but still deep-rooted
in the afflictions of all clnsses of the
Spanish people. Although theae bull
fights occurtwice each weefc-on Thurs
days and Sundays—each time the great
unphithnatre, which seat* fourteen
thousand people, is crowded, and alas!
for the delicate, tender and humane
sentiment which, should flod Its home
in woman’s heart, from four to five
thousand Hpanlsh women witneee each
bull-fight at Madrid. Adieu till my

Malaria.
, Nothing makes one fool so mean and
incapacitated for work as a touch of
malaria. How the bones ache. What
chilly and lifoloss sensations. What
a poor appetite and what poor diges
tion. Here, James, run and get me
some quinine: or stop, quinine dosen’i
just agree with me, either. It makes
my head feel like it would bunt. 11
creates a buzzing sound in taf ear. It
impairs my digestion. It raukes me
feel dizzy. It gives me naam; and a
physician once told me that quinine
sometimes causes paralysis. No! yon
needntget it, I won't take quinine.

takes Smith’s Tonic Syrup when she
has malaria, and that ft always cures
her. and it also cured your brother of
chills end fever? Well, get me a bottle

Come to think about it. I have read
that this medicine has all the good ef
fects of quinine and none of its evil
nature. Strange I haven’t tried it be
