WOMEN AS BULL.FIQHTJBllS. The Brutal Spurt Carried on In Kian? ? tag Woll a? lu Spain. (from the Loiulon Telegraph.) Bull-baiting und lighting fa not yet over in Franco any moro thun in Spain. Despite tho outcry that was raised so tuc months ugo relative to tho dis graceful scones that occurred in thc amphitheatre at Nones during a bull bi.iting carnival, tho samo spectacles be ve been again witnessed amid the enthusiasm of ten thousand spectators. On Monday, May 10, the famous am phitheatre, a relic, of old itotnan times, was fol! to repletion with a crowd of excited beings who had como lo wit ness tho skill and prowess of tho Mata dor Frutos and his compeors. What was more, three toreras were to appear, this hoing thc first limo that women have entered tho arenas at Nimos. At throo o'clock in thc after noon the performances began with a grand procession of Spanish bull fighters, nullo and female, who rode proudly imo the enclosed spaco to tho sound of military music. Three toreras in fancy costumes, all spark ling with lila ree ami bangles, headed the procession. Then anno thc quad rille, composed of live toreadors, beaded bv thc great Frutos himself in gorgeous habiliments. At thc sound of a bugle a splendid black bull of crossed Spanish breed bounded snorting into thc ring. The women immediately set to work witu their banderillas, which they Hung at tho face and body of tho careering toto. The lips of thc animal's horns woro covered with round knobs ol wood or leather while the women were plying their darts, so us to prevent accidents, hut these protections wore afterward removed in some instances while thc men were performing. A second bull, a red one, which was next let loose, made straight ut one of tho toreras, a young woman, profes sionally designated as Senorita Bonita del Anio, and knocked her over in a second, but not, howoror, before she had succeeded in planting two lance headed poultons between his eyes. Thc woman was disengaged with surprising deftness by her male com panions and returned to thc charge willi courageous persistence. She was loudly applauded by thc public for her performance. A fresh bull was intro duced, which brought out the finer pluy of Frutos, whose first proceeding was to clear thc hull with a polo as easily as it' he were clearing a fence. He then simulated death by lying still on thc ground, escaping with marvel ous adroitness as the hull came nour him with ferocious intent. Tho totora Bonita del Anio then sat on a chair in thc middle of thc arena and calmly awaited tho onslaught of ii fresh animal, lu tho twinkling of an e>e she was caught on thu bull's horns and was tos-ed high in the air, fulling stunned lo tho ground. This was thc mos; deplorable pari of the perform ance and 110 more serious accidents OOOU ned. Hie quadrille ol' men instantly at tracted tho bull's at lent ion from bis prostrate prey and tho woman was quickly sprinkled with water or vine gar and rose apparently uninjured From tho ground. Uer light clothes were torn to shreds. Fruto-, ropoated tho chair movement, but, more adroit lhan (be woman, be nimbly sprang aside Indore thc bull could bear down on him and jual escaped a terrible horn thrust. Six bulls lu all were let loose. Thc women's performaucos were great failures. GUANO A EMT OF TM ti KKI'l'III.U'. Who Originated tho Iden ami What it lias Orown To. Tho Ol'dcr Ol Hie (?rand Army of the Republic was organized in tho Slate ol Illinois e.u ly in I he year 1866. To Dr. B. F. Stephenson, of Spring field, 111., belongs tho honor of sug gesting lin* (urination of this union ol' voteran soldiers and ol' launching the Organization into existence. The ob ject of the combination was to afford assistance to disabled and unemployed soldiers. Dr. Stephenson had been ! surgeon in a volunteer regiment dur ing thc war, and was firmly convinced i ind an organization of thc leturned volunteers tor mutual benofit was im peratively needed. A ritual was drafted under bis supervision, and thc first post of thc new order was formed at Decatur, III. Oilier posts were soon mustered throughout Illinois and contiguous Slates and thc First De partment (State) Convention was held at Springfield, Ul., duly l?, 1866. General .John M. Palmer was there olectcd department commander. Oc tober 81, IMG, Dr. Stephenson, as .provisional commander-in-chief, sent out an order to nil tho Posts then formed, calling for thc first National Convention of tho Grand Army of the Republic. This was held in Indian apolis, ind., on November 20 follow ing, and representatives wore present from the Mates of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, New York, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, In diana and thc District of Columbia. Generai S. A. Hurlbut wae elected as commander in-chief During thc your 1867 tho order spread rapidly. Tho various States completed their work of department organization and Posts were formed in all the largo towns and in many counties. Tho second National Encampment, meeting at Philadelphia, Pa., January 16, 1808, found thc order in a most promising condition. In 1868 thc first observance of May 80 as a Memorial Day by the Grand Army was ordered. May ll, 1870, this dato was lixed upon for an nual observance by an article adopted as a part of tho rules and regulations of the order. Unfortunately, during tho warmly-contested political cam paign nf 1868, (ho idea that tho army was intended as a political Organiza tion gained currency, with thc result of injuring tho order greatly. A heavy dccicase of membership fol lowed, causing almost a total disrup tion of tue order in thc West. In May, "1869, a chungo in the ritual wn made, providing for three grades of membership, but this met with little favor, and in 1871 ali sections provid ing for degrees or ranks among mem bers were stricken from tho rulos ot tho order. At the same timon rule Was adopted prohibiting the usc of the organization for any partisan purpose Whatever, a principio which has ever since boen strictly adhered to. The Five O'Clock Toa to Die.

I * " FABLOB MACHO. How to Make a Cigar Dane?on a nut -An Ka?Uy Performed Trlek. A hut is borrowed; Hkowiao a cigar. Tho performer breathes on tho latter to mesmerize it and declares that when so mesmerized ho cati compel it to Stand upright on thc crown or tho hat. Ho ondcavors to mako it stand up accordingly, at first without succoss, hut presently tho cigar does actually stand upright, eolf-supported, on thc crown. At command ?t viii bow to tho company, salute lie adios on the right, tho ladies on the toft, and so on. Tho performer thou asks for a little music, and b *,rin6 to move thc hut shout, still orown upward, first in ono hand Hu n in the other. Thc cigar retains its vertical position, but sways about, sometimes to one side, some times tho other, as if endeavoring to keep timo to tho music. At any moment tho performer can request a spectator to tako the cigar from thc hat and lo satisfy himself that it is not attached in any way. Tho seeming mystery rests on tho uso, of a very simple piece of apparias -a little rod about the size of a [lead pencil, hut rather thicker, of ebony or some oilier heavy wood, and with a needle-point an inch long projecting from one end of it. Thc performer gets this inside tho hat and in Iiis pre tended ( Hurts to balauce the cigar on the hat pushes the needle-point up through thc crown and into tho cud ot the cigar, which thenceforward sticks upright Oil tho point. Any inclina tion given to the ebony rod within tlie hat will naturally make the cigar bend in the opposite direction and so to salute tho company, etc. Thc hand may now grasp thc brim of Hie hat only, leaving thc ebony rod swinging free within tlie hat, und as it swings it will communicate a swaying motion to Hie cigar above, as if atl'ectd by the music. When the trick is completed you invite some spectator to take the cigar from tl?;! hat. Al the same moment that his lingers touch thc cigar you withdraw the needle-point from below when i lie cigar naturally falls and nothing whatever remains to indicate thc me.ins that supported it. Tho performer immediately begins to brush Iiie lint willi bis handkerchief and uiidor cover of so doing is enabled without difficulty to smuggle away into hid sleeve or pocket the little ebony rod.
