A Scene of Slaughter at Madrid--The achievoments of the Matadors--Do scription of a very Questionable Pastimo. Corre ))omiuenc of the tiraphie. MAnRID, Feb. 26.-I do not doubt tha'. American roadors would be in, te v ated in a description of a Span is ' bull-fight, every detail of which wns roted in pencil at the time of occurrence. The following particu 1 rs tro traniscribed from my diary Actor breakfasting at the Fonda Peninsular I besought mine host to tell me the pleasaritest way of spending tho day. His dark-bro wn face manifested at oneo the pleasure it afforded him to riuggost the bull fight, while lie gave me directions regarding the purchase of a ticket and the place of the contest. Some hours later I strolled up the Callo Allcala until a ticket ofico was reached, where seats for the bull. fight were advertised. I purchased one marked "sombraL" (shade) those exposed to the glare of the sun being cheaper, but less desirable. Passing through the city, a large open place was reached, at the opposite extremity of which stood a circular amphitheatro of brick, two stories in height. ''he roads leading thither were lined with little booths, at which were sold the wine of Val do Penas amnd other beverages. Many elegant equipages swept past, and for the first time since my arrival in Spain have I beheld a type of that femamle loveliness for which Castile hits ever been noted. The women of Madrid, as a rule, are not pretty ; even the liquid, lustrous eyes and luxuriant masses of hair, arranged with con sumumato skill, do not compensate for the wretched, faded complexions nn!a lj'MLj forms that one is contii ally meeting. I soon arrived at the building and gropod about the daIrk corridors of the Mrst floor seeking a passago leading to the seats within. While thus occupied, loud shouts were heard and clapping of hands and stamping of feet. Eu tering the gallery the arena as seen was perhaps one hundred and fifty feet in diameter, bounded by a high barrier, which, in turn, was encom passed by an annular alley ; behind this rose tier after tier of seats up to the covered galleries. The dens in which the wild cattle are confined up to the time of combat havo also at port-cullis entrance to the ring directly opposite these was a hand some pavilion which I correctly judged to be the royal box. For a moment I experienced a very strange sensation-something inw describable,-what it wars I scarcely know. A sudden shoek ; titter as tonishmnen t, which maiy be0 likened to the effect produced upon01 a nerv ous midnight scanner of one of Wilkie Collins' thrilling "situa tions." Tihe arena of ancient Rome seemed actually before me-tang1led ideas of Olympian gamnes---of the gladiators and martyrs flitted through mny brain. Then my eyes werto riveted upon two disabled horses ini the ring, panting in death throes !-the fight had begun. From their flanks gory entrails hung, and as the purplish intestines ooso out, forming a bloody ball, I heatr laughter on all sides. There, is a young girl behind me. How cain she endure this ? I look around and see her apparenitly unmoved not at all agitated ; on the contrary rather disposed to ennui, atnd bored. Now a third blindfolded steed with rider approaches the bull. The horseman poises his lance, and1( the brute charges at him. Now is the chance for dexterity ; now the time to wheel about saving horse and piercing bull simultaneously. But no I the horse is held etoeadfast ly awaiting the onslaught. As the rider buries his lance in the bull, the steed impaled upon tho horns of his adversary is lifted into the air, while the ground turns crimson with his blood. The rider falls beneath the dying horse, and the bull, mad.. dened by the lance-thrust, prepares to charge again. But at this juncture a pack of gaudily-.dressed auxiliaries hastoen to th~e sceno with red banners which direet'his atten tion from the picador just thrown. This unbarmed rider gets another mount while his rescuers take refug~e from the bull behlid the barrier. Oeeionai~y one of the disablea horses lifts his head from the ground, stretching out his neck as though stilled with blood. In the intervals of fighting, the bull vainly attempts to leap over the auditori um ; baflod in which he returns to his victims and gores the steeds till they are dyed scarlet, and dcafening appl:iuse follows. C.mnes are rapped hanldkorchiefs waved anid the mob whistles like the winter winds on the prairies, and now the senorita bo hind inc joyously surveys the seenos with her glass The excitement abates when Taurus leaves the horses and im potuiously rends to pieces a saddle which a. frightened groom had dropped in his flight noross the arena. At this lull in butchery, tho band in attendance performs a few bars of a popular air. Fatigued by the terrible shocks which lie has sustained, the bull now pauses, evi dently elb:Lrrassed. Plainly the noise and plaudits bo' wildercd him. But, for meditation, ho has but little Limo Another of his human tormentors, silk-stocking ed and elegantly wigged, dances lightly into the cirle, balancing him self alternatly on either foot, and holding above him in each hand a long dart. Tantalizingly he nears his bovine adversary, who at length plunges at him. .But the charge is evaded, and the bull has boon deoply lanced in both shoulders. This worthy now retires, leaving the hull bleeding profusely trembling with 1 Illed rage, glaring at the ground and the w hist.ling begins ag;in, and the applaIso redoubles as the mat.ilor is seen advancing. In one hand is at red standard ; tho other gra.Lsis a sword. '1'lho bull, goailel t:o fury, leaps at him. By a skilful filng of the Il:g to one side and at countter movement of his own body, the matador slccoods in pluging the sword far into the hull's shoulder. Again and again this demllonliae sconoC recurs, till 'id4 a savage clamor the bull totters, es says vainly to stand and sinks ex hausted on the 011. of his triumphs. Every throat in all this multitudo pours forth its cry of joy. The vast throng bursts into a prolonged peal of applause. And now- the matador with face flushed with victory turns proudly to the people and makes his salutation. As he revolves around the ring addressing the ons tire assembhl:igo and low yet confi., deutly to all, a perfect hailstorm of cigars meets him at each turn. These grateful tributes of a delight, ed autldience iare collected by his atten(lants. Everybody hurls his hat reckloss ly at the niat:alor, hero of the day I This divinity hallows them with his touch and throws them back to their owners. Whether the proper tiles were in every instanco restored to the rightful owners I could not discover. The subsequent fightts differed from the above only in the occasional introduction of detoit ing ball,or bombs, which were thrust into the flesh of bulls which mani fested a lack of p)luck. The1 exI)los ions were attended with great ap plause and fluttering of handkor chiefs. On tihe death of each bull, four mnules, guily caparisoned, are driven into the arona dragging a stretcher. To this the bull and the horses are miade fast, and to the sound1( of gay music are hurried poell-moll into an outer court, leaving loroad lines of blood to mark their co)urso. The bulls for these fights are found on the vast plins between (Jordova and Seville. Those early indicating a savago3 disposition are isolated, andl undergo a longt course of systematic torture before acqulire ing the dlesidora~tum) of fury. Dis, gusted and sickened at the revolting spectacle I had just witnessed, I arose and left the b~uildling, travers ing thle square before the tumnultu ous applauso and bursting of bombs had censed to thrill mfO with horror. Some days later, at dusk, I was strolling through thle narrow, crowvded alleys of Seville, when the thron g ahead of me separated, to allowv a herdsman and his cattle to pass. I lifted my eyes suddenly, to behold a half-dozen bulls apparent% ly rushing at me, The assoeiations of the contest at Madrid were still frezh in my mind. I felt an intense horror, and leaped with all my fore into a glazier's hard by, throwing down several men as-I entered.- The bulls passed on, and regaining my composure slightly, I apologized for my rudeness to the men who'. only revenge was some pleasantry about the English. 'With beating heart,-IK stepped out upon the street where my presence :caused groat amuse ment among the by standers. whoIed~ witneseed my fllht.
