A Terrible Bull Fight Graphically De scribed by a Form,3r Citizen of Au gusta--A Good Pln eo for Father Bergh to Pass his Wiu;ors. (From the Chronide mnd Cons(itionalis(. ] The following lotter was written from Havana by a former resident of this city, who is now in Cuba, to his relatives in this city, and con tains matters which doubtless may prove interesting to our realors: * * * "Mr. Springer called for me last Sunday afternoon at three o'clock in the Consul's carriage and insisted that I should drive with them to the largo amnpitheatre known as "Polar Qua Mondos," for bull fighting. I went; but I do assure you it is my last time. At four oclock a j horseman, well mounted, rode into the arena, saluted the governor, who tossed him the keys to open the gates, after which eight or ten "teasers" with red flags marched into the ring, followed by two men on horse back, with long spears. It was not long before the bull himself, already greatly infuriated, cavorted before us, dashing about from side to side after the fiery ensigns, and plung ing at the nearest horseman. The story is one long and sickening, so in summing UI) the affair I have only to say that one man was killed. I didn't care a fig for the man, nor his relations and friends, for such gladiators deserve, no pity; my sympathies were with the horsos and bulls. Two steeds wore killed by the first and third bull, and one so lacerated by the fifth animal that it had to be driven from the ring, almost torn open. Then I was wrought up. I was mad with the governor, Spain, the Spaniards, and even Christopher Columbus did ndt escape my ill wishes. Weak though I was, I wanted to light about three Spaniards, though I was still weak from malarial fever. Seven bulls were tortured to desperation and then butchered. After the horse men were through with worrying them, two angling Spaniards, on foot, with barbed reeds, gayly decorated and brightly polished, would dance around the enraged bull, stick him in the tender parts of the shoulders, inflicting horrible agony into the poor beasts' ex hausted body. But the diabolical sport did not end until another relay of friends would dance around and thrust into the quivering, dying animal sharp darts, loaded with a torpedo at the ends which would explode directly under the skin, causing the most excruciating agony. The poor bulls, now unable to defend themselves against every form of attack which ingenuity could devise or human wickedness employ, would dash themselves wildly against the wall, endeavoring to wreck their miserable existences ; or, failing in this, would run around the ring, looking piteously into the faces of the multitude above them, appealing in thbir mute misery to the stony,hearted spiectators. It wvas simply terrible. By the time the bloody sport was over I was nearly dead myself, and, although the day wvas very warm,- drops of cold perspiration beaded upon my brow and chilled my forehead. Men, women and miniiste's of religion would first cheer the men and then the bull, and each un fortunate rider, as lie wvas dethroned by the bull, would be frightfully lussed by the spectators. I haven't eaten a boofst6ak since iy visit to the bull fight ** * * "I would like to see this beautiful island annexed to the United States, for. 6hen, instead of Rubsisting 1,225,000 people it would be capa ble of stupporting twenty million inhabitants. The country is mag nificent, the climate good, and, if properly cultured, every one could have a plenty. Very few peo ple, however, work ; but all live easily upon the fruits of the islandl." * * * Thotmawds and thousands of childrenf die each year of Dyevent.ery and Diarrhcea that could hav0 been saved if their .nothers had giveu thetn DYr.

Stokes last week from the town au thorities is the rule. The Colonel was making one of his orthodox speeches from the steps of the old court-house at twelve o'clock, in., last Wednesday-expounding con stitutional law and dilating upon the conduct of some of ' the county officials, When he was arrested and borne away to the guard house. He was contined the whole night, but discharged by the Mayor the nex6 morning, as there was no sufficient cause for his detention. Colonel Stokes was not disturbing the puxblio peace, as we understand it, for he is a law-abiding citi"Len. He is a good. man and has in him the qualities of which martyrs are made-firm ir his religions and political faith. Colonel Stokes is , man of too exalt ed character, of too much decency and manhood, to occupy a cell in w guard house. But the right is sure to triumph in the end, and he will be vindicated.-- Abbeville Medium. How Thin MAKE BUTTER IN BRAZIn, -There are four native modes of making britter in the Empire of Brazil.
