WOMEN AS BULL-FIGHTERS. The Brutal Sport Carried on in France as Well as in Spain. (1Irom the Low1on Telegraph.) Bull-baiting and fighting is not yet over in Frar.ce any more than in Spain. Despite the outcry that was raised some months ago relative to the dis graceful scenes that occurred in the amphitheatre at Nimes during a bull baitine carnival, the same spectacles have Yeen again witnessed amid the enthusiasm of ten thousand spectators. On Monday, May 10, the famous am phitheatre, a relic of old Roman times, was full to repletion with a crowd of excited beings who had come to wit ness the skill and prowess of the Mata dor Frutos and his compeers. What was more, three toreras were to appear, this being the first time that women have entered the r-enas at Nimes. At three o'clock i, ae after noon the performances began with a grand procession of Spanish bull fighters, male and female, who rode proune nto the enclosed space to the ilnd of military music. Three toreras in fancy costumes, all spark ling with fila ree and bangles, headed the proces-ion. Then came the quad rille, composed of five toreators, beaded by the great Frutos himself in gorgeous habit ment At the sound of a bugle a splendid black bull of cr -ed spanish breed bounded snorti to the ring. The women iimediatery set to work with their banderilla-, which they flung at the face and body of the catreerimg toto. The tips of the animal's horis were covere-i with round knobs of wood or leather while the women were ply-iz their darts, so at to prevent accideuts, bat tiee protectos were afterward removed in ,omie imstances while the men were performing. A second bull, a red one, which was next let loose, wade -traight at one of the toreras, a young woman, profes sionally dezignated as Senorita Denita del Amo, and knocked her over in a second, but not, however, before she had succeeded in planting two lance headed pennous between bis eyes. The woman was disengaged with surprising deftness by her male com pations and returned to the charge with courageous persistence. She was loudly appiauded by the public for her performance. A fresh bull was intro duced, which brought out the finer play of Fratos, whose first proceeding was to clear the bull with a pole as easily as if he were clearing a fence. Re then simulated death by lying still on the ground, escaping with marvel ous adroitness as the bull came near him with ferocious intent. The torora Benita del Amo then sat on a chair in the middle of the areni and calmly awaited the onslaught of a fresh animal. In the twinkling of an eye she wa% caught on the bull's horns and was tossed high in the air, falling stunned to the ground. This was the most deplorable part of the perform ance and no more serious accidents occurred. The- quadrille of men instantly at tracted the bull's attention from his prostrate prey and the woman was quickly sprinkled with water or vine gar . and rose apparently uninjured from the ground. Her light clothes were torn to shreds. Frutos repeated the chair movement, but, more adroit than the woman, he nimbly sprang aside before the bull could bear down on him and just escaped a terrible horn thrast. Six bulls in all were let -loose. The women's performauces were great failures. ORANDil ARMY OF TUE RSEPUBLIC. Who Oibiginated the Idea and What Is Has Grown To. * The order'of the Grand Army of the Republic was organized in the State of Illinois early in the year 1866. To Dr. B. F. Stephenson, of Spring field, 1ll., belongs the honor of sug. gesting the formation of this union of *veteran soldiers and of launching the organization into existence. The ob. ject of the combination was to afford assistance to disabled and unemployed soldiers. Dr.- Stephenson had been a surgeon in a volunteer regiment dur ing the war, and wias firmly conymnceu -that an organization of the returned volunteers for uzual benetit was im perastively needed. A ritual wvas drafted u'nder his supervision, andl the first post of the new order was formed at Decatur, 1ll. Other pos5ts were soon mustered throughout illinois aud contiguous States and the First D)e parazient (State) &onvention was held at Springtield, li., July 12, 1866. -General John M Pahner was there elected department commander. Oc tober 81, 1866, Dr. Stephenson, as provisional comrauder-ini-chief, sent out an order to all the Posts then formed, calling for the first National Convention of the &.rand Ar-my of the Re'public. This was held in Indian apolis, Ind., on November 2o follow ing, and representatives werec present from the states of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, New York, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, In diana and the District of Columbia. General S. A. Ilurlbut was elected as commander in-chief During the year 1867 the order spread rapidly. The various States completed their work of department orgatnizaltion and Pos were formed in all the lai-ge towns and in many counties. The second National Encampment. meeting at Philadelphia, Pa., January 15, 1868, found the order in a most promismng condition. In 1868 the first observance of May 30 -as a Memorial Day by the Grand Army was ordered. May 11, 1870, this date was fixed upon for an nual observauce by an article adopted as a part of the rules and regulations of the order. Unfortunately, during the warmly-contested political cam jaign of 18~6$, the idea that the army was intenmkd as a pontical organmza tion gained curr-ency, with the result of injuring the order greatly. A heavy decrease of membership fol lowed, causing almost a total disrup tion of the order in tile West. in May, 1869, a change in the ritual was madle, pr-oviding for three grades of membership, but this met with little favor, and in 1871 all sections provid ing for degrees or r-anks atuong ieir. bers were stricken from the rules or the order. At the same time a rule was adopted prohibitinig the use of the organization for anly partisan purpose whatever, a principle which has ever since been strictly adlhered to. The Five O'Clock Tea to Die. Four c'clock lunches ini the old French style are replacing the British importation of:> o'clock tea in fashion able Parisian circles. The lunches are generally given by young girls to their newly married friends, and arc ar ranged with elabor-ate simplicity. Thus, the table linen is trimmed with thread lace, the service is ususally of "crackled" red glass, and the favorite beverage is iced nmilk, ser-ved in artis tic bowls, and flavored with a glass of u Kirsch." PARLOR MAGIC. How to Make a Cigar Dance on a Hat---Ar: Easily Performed Trick. A hat is borrowed; likewise a cigar. The performer breathes on the latter to mesmerize it and declares that when so mesierized he can compel it to stand upright on the crown of the hat. He endeavors to make it stand up accordingly, at first without success, but presently the cigar does actually stand upright, self-supported, on the crown. At command it will bow to the companiy, salute the ladies on the right, the ladies on the left, and so on. The performer then asks for a little music, and begins to move the hat about, still crown upward, first in one hand then in the other. The eigar retains its vertical position, but sways about, sometimes to one side, some times the other, as if endeavoring to keep time to the music. At any moment the performer can request a spectator to take the cigar from the hat and to satisfy himself that it is not attached in any way. The seming mystery rests on the use of a very simple piece of appartus -a little rod about the size of a lead pencil, but rather thicker, of ebony or some other heavy wood, and with a needle-pint an inch long projecting from one end of it. The performer gets this inside the hat and in his pre tended ettorts to balance the cigar on the hat )ushes the needle-point up through the crown and into the end ot the cigar, which the aceforwar 1 stick, upright on the point. Any inclioa tion given to the ebony rod within the hat will naturally make the cigar bend in the oi pp1te direction and so to salute the company, etc. The hand may now grasp the brim of the hait only, leaving the ebotsy rod swinging free withiti the hat, and as it swings t will comnmunicate a swaying motion to the cigar above, as if affectd by the muisic. When the trick i7 completed You invite some spectator to take the cigar from the hat. At the same muoment that his tingers touch the cigar vou withdraw the needle-point from below when tl:c cigar naturally falls and nothing whatever remain., to indicate the meoims that supported it. The nerformer irmediatelv begins to brush the hat with bis handkerchief and under cover of so doing is enabled without difficulty to smuggle away into his sleeve or pocket the little ebony rod. I' LUCK IN PETTICOATS. - A Veritable Texas Heroine, who Comc- to Grief at Last. (Frian the AtIa ta Colatioition.) Just iiow Bettie Travis is the talk of Texas. The frontiers of that State have produced many women of daunt less courage, but Betty in her way has surpassed them all. This girl is a beautiful blonde, sym metrical as "the Greek Slave," charged to her finger tips with electricity, and as wild and- fearless as an Amazon. In so-ae unexplained way Bettie got into trouble in Hunt county, and the minions of the law made an attempt to arrest her. She stood her ground with a six-shooter, and kept the offi cers at a safe distance until she suc ceeded ii effectins: her escape. She sought a home with her relations near Bairdstevn, but they proved quarrel some, ael she found it necessary to draw a ;istol ard drive them into the next coantv. For this a constable tried to arrest her, but shle got the drop on him with a Winchester rifle and thei rode oil' to pastures neCw. Tile hirn-spirited damsel w~as next heard of ini tile Indian Territory. There she was charged with~ violating the revenrue laws, and at determined effort wais made to secure her captturie. Miss Beule was equal to the emier ency. She donnied a mnatn's suit of apprel, and arming herself with a doublebgrrelleg shot gun and a revolver, terrorized all the officers and settlers until she made her way to Red River. The ferryman declined to carry~ her over without pay, but ttle irl took aim at his head and pur suaded him to land her on the other side. Such career~s are generally as brief as thev are brilliant. A deputy sheriff finally captured poor Bet tie Travis near Paris. He found the girl roam ing the wvoodsh like a veritable Ophelia babbling unintelligible nonsense, and adoinig herself with wreaths of w'ld lowers. Fortunately the deputy had sese enough to see that he was deal ing with a lunatic instead of a desper ado. HeI treated tis prisonier kind iv, and turn'ed her over to the State lunla tie asylum. Texas now feels a sense of relief'. For a long time it has been a question whether Bettie woulid take Texas or Texas would take Bettie. A Mohammledan Joke. It is th~e belief among the Mohatm medanis that if early prayers are said fort' mio~rninigs in successionl at the mosque before any one else arrives. the person so doing shall have good luck and prosperity. There was a poor m'i in Constantinople who was the picture of bad luck and improvi dence. Every morning early he re paired to the great Mosque of St. Sophia sud inivariably found some onle ahead of him, thus breaking the charm. One morning, as usual, lie discovered the earlier devotee, and, as he proved to be the same one all tile time, he thus spoke: "My friend, I am b~oor aud need good luck. For many miornings I have come hither to pray, each time earlier than before. Give me a chances; tell me how you get here earlier than I every day." To which the early devoteeb replied: ' have two wives. When I awake in the morning, one brings mec my slip pers, the other my ablution bowl, and by these wives attending to mny wants tgether, I am enabled to be off earlier for prayers than if 1 had onily one wife." The poor man resolved to profit by the advice. lbe gq himl another wife, and in a few dai! dis covered the real secret of the e4ly devotee, viz., the war between the two womn~ made very early morning prayers at the mosque a blessing.

The financial outlook is not of the best, and the times are uneonm monly tight, with a crop prospect not at all pleasant. And to addl to these, any mio ce ment which will take $50,000 per month from local circulation (which amount is now paid by the factories in wages) would indeed be deplorable.- Aug"st' Ereaing News. A novel wedding will soon be celebrated near Edenvillc. a village a few miles from Warwick. N. Y. The contracting parties will be Charles E. Williams, a Paterson merchant, and Miss Hlarriett A. Waterbury. daughter of .J. Eliphalet Waterbury. Through some strange freak tihe couple have selected midlnight as the time that the ceremony will he~ perforamed. Apart fr-om the hour the wedding will he like other big affairs of the kind in the country. Amid all the wild talk about c'vil war in Great Britain over the llome lRule question. it is of practical interest to not ice that the proportion of Irish in the Quen's army is small and crowing sma~ller. There are now in every ~1,000 soldiers 7;00 Englishmen, 178S Irishmen, 78 Scotehmnen aind 14 of other nationalities. Eighte-en years ago the number of Irishmen wacs 308 per 1.000, and wvith the exception of a single year, 1880, the proportion has since been steadily decreased. Mr. Dawes has introdlucedl in the Senate a bill requiring the Secretary of the Treas ury nnder the authority of section :3571 of the revised statutes to regulate the issue of United States notes. There shall lbe out standing at all times not less than $30.000, - 000 of the dlenomination of $1 and $:35.000. 000 of the denomination of $2 without in any manner changing the limintation upon the entire amount of United States notes so issued now fixed by law. The government is suing General Thomas Jordan, who was chief of staff under Gen eral Beauragard during the rebellion and was dluring the Mexican war chief quarter master at Vera Cruz. Ihis accounts as quartermaster a! Vera Crux~ were audited and pasad~ as correct. It now alppears, thirty-nine years afterward, that there was a shortage in his account of some captured goods, the value of which with interest will reach many thiousaind dollars. The defense is a general denial. JTudge Beven of the United States D)istrict Court will hear the case. A special catte dispatch from Paris says: The French Republic has now definitely taken the lirst step on the downwaird pathi of proscription and political persecuition. Feeling too weaik to toleraite its enemiies on French soil, it has expelled them.: The Cote de Paris will not settl. dielinitely in England. but will r-egard himself as merely traveling In a foreign countriy, probably intriguing against the French Gov-ernment ten times~as muchl as if he had been left lone. Probably the fact that they have kept so quiet has had nomeh to do with the lack of symp::thy for them. If they had more conspicuously filled the role of aris tocrats more voices would lbe raised for them to-day in France.
