A Weird and Pathotlo Tale of the "Corrida do Toros." i "I nm a native of Ion. My fullicr wan a 'fontnilmtiilista,' and Hiutigluil intiliis into Franco over remote and necrot passes of tho Pyrenees.

Wo tnado laro ainn f money, lint wo also ran groat r'sks of detection and imprisonment I liuted the business, so onee when wo were crossinir ouo of tho passes I ran away, lor days I wandered about, until I reached a large eity full of white, clean buildings, which they told mo was San Sebastian. I asked if tliero was a 'cor rid a do toros' (bull ring) there, and on being told thero was 1 made my way to tho place, oaw tho manager, and told him my story and my desire to be k biiil-liL'Hter. "At ono tinio there used to be a good nehool tliero for training hull-lighters. After various preliminaries I was ad mitted, and found soino twenty or thirty oilier young men who were going through their training for chiiion.' Tho eVeat favorite of the school was a voium 'espadu' named Fernando Nunc., as handsome and as graceful a creature as the dear (jod ever made, lie was also pleasant, al ways kindly, and had a cheerful greet ing nnU a muilo loreacn one ot us, ami was tho idol of tho whole school. He was very young, perhaps tho youngest espada that was ever seen in the arena. Tho bull rinc of San Sebntiano Mauds or used to stand on a long, Dandy stretch of plain on the other side of the railway line. It was a large wooden amphitheater, and the pens for the bulls were mute apart, tint eon ncctcd with the arena by a long, dark nassaire, through which the bulls were driven into tho rinir. l-'or three or four hours every day we practiced lunipinir and vaulting in the arena. pluving with tho lasso and bulls with tippca horns. There was to be a irroat bull-light on the feast of San Seliastlauo, and Nunc was to try his skill tliero for the third time in his rapacity of 'espada. lie was considered by the authorities the 'rising star', as a bull-lighter, and almost euiial to Monies In point of ennrniro. ttiiriii! mid dexteritv. lie , ..n . , . was always very kind to me, and rather picked me out front my comrades to Ims his constant companion. 1 was much llattered, of course, by his dis tinction. Perhaps I showed my elation too much, for un old bull-lighter (who bad served miinv years in the arena and had retired from public life only to lie master In tne school at Nm N kastiano, with a pension from tho (Sov eminent) said to mo ono days " 'Mi liiio, you will not' misunder stand mo if 1 give vou a word of warn Ing. will vouP' " '1 shall only bo too grateful to you,' I replied, wondering what 1 had been doing to incur a censure in my work. "lo not go so much with Nunez. Ho is fascinating and very charming, and, so fur as I know, as good as he is liandsonio. Hut his absence Is bettor than his company. You remember the old proverb: "Ninas y vinos son mal a guarder," and ho is as enticing as wine.' " 'Hut he is so good and pleasant that he can not have sold himself to the devil,' I said. 'Of what are you accus ing himP' " 'I am not accusing him of any thing,' replied tho old man, crossing himself devoutly, 'but' and hero he put his mouth closely to my car 'ho is a doomed man.' "A doomed man,' I cried, 'but why? Who eould wish tho poor fellow any ill? Ho is so good and kind and gay.'' " 'No one on earth wishes him ill. 1 nm sure,' said the old man, eagerly. 'Hut the ghost of tho arena follows lilm like a shadow by day and by night, and I am sure that ho is a doomed man. I have been in this business for year--long before you were bora, f have had my triumphs as 'espuda,' but I have never known one to lie who was followed by the ghost. Monies was doomed by it, so was (.'uchares, so were matiy others 1 could name; and now this poor young fellow ' The good old man broke down with tears in his ryes. " 'Put w hat sort of creature is this ghost?' I asked. 'Does it follow all the company P' "()h. Santa Fr, no!' cried my friend Kodriguex, 'It only follows rtain people who are lo die. Vou will see a double shadow of the same shape and size as ho w alking lrtule him by day and by night and and a few days More tho bull light comes offtho ghost stands before tho arena door with a drawn sword, and accom panies the doomed man everywhere.' 'T ono not believe it!' I cr'cd. My hair on my head was landing up with friijht, and my body was wet with a claniSf clL "Just w ait and see,' sanl out koii-V-tioz. sndlv.

I turned tlw matter over in my mind and camo to the concilia on that Undrunioz was crcttinL' Hill V. and that I had better mention nothing of what ho had told me to any one. "The duvs passed, and Mine?, was still the gavest of us all; as happy and gentle, as unselfish and thoughtful for others as usual, and more beloved than ever. Mv fears and terrors for him had almost ceased, when one ity 1 liajw penedtogo with Nunez to the arena to watch him practice with a bull. 1 sat on the harrier and watched the per formance, applauding his agility, his grace and general er.se of composure. "J o my horror l saw on me bhioi the arena" the chadows together. When one moved the other moved. When Nunc, waved a 'Manta.' the double did the same; when ho turned gracefully to one side of the bull, the double shadow turned w ith llio same grace and ease "I nearly fell from mv perch with faintness and frigid, but I resolved to seo the thing to the end. I rubbed my eye and looked again. Yes! there was certainly another figure practicing with .Nunc., of exactly the sumo size, height and form w'.tli the same grace and ease of manner, and this double kept pace with us when we left the arena until we reached a church next to tho school, when it disappeared. "1 was so disturbed by this appari tion that 1 decided to ask some of my comrades whether they had seen the strange double, fearing that having brooded so much over the story of the old bull lighter my brain might have been at'ected. " 'O, yes,' cried my comrade! when I told them what I had seen; 'the ghost follows him wherever ho goes, but that is a superstitiou, as wo do not think anything of it' " 'Hut old Rodriguez thinks a great deal of it,' I exclaimed, 'ana fully uo lievcs that Nunez is a doomed man. 1 think somo one ought to speak to Nunez and warn him. "It was three days before tho light was to come oil' that I went one evening to Nunez to take a look at the bulls ho was to kill. "When we came to tho door of tho arena Nunez entered first, and I stood looking at the moon for a moment or two. As I turned 1 distinctly saw a whito figure with a drawn sword be tween me and him, wlrch turned and walked with him shoulder lo shoulder. It was tho double. "It accompanied him everywhere In the arena, in the pens of tho hulls, in tho keeper's oiiarters everywhere. When we sat down to have a glass of wine with tho keeper, the shadow sat down beside Nunez; when we left to return to the school the double es corted us, shoulder to shoulder with Nunez, and these shadows were re fleeted by themoouliglit on tho ground 'I could bear it no longer, and when, at the church door, the shadow left as usual, I told Nunez of what J had seen, and of the fears and dread I had for him in the coming bull-light and I besought him to give it tip. at whatever cost. "He turned a little pale as he listen cd. Then he laughed merrily, and laving his hand on my shoulder, he sad : "'My dearfellow, I thank you for tho warning. Hut 1 have no fear of the ghost. I shall not die before my time, ghost or no ghost; and if 1 am to die I will not shirk mv duty 1 will die in harness. Hut 1 do not believe your superstition. "He evidently thought no more about tho warning, fur the next dav he was as cheery as ever, laughing and chat ting gavlv to every one. "The dav for the bull-light broke clear and bright; not a cloud was to bo seen in the sky. As the hour ap proached for Nunez to go Rodriguez and 1 started out lor a long wttiK. " 'I can not go to see him killed said the old man, and I felt very much of the same mind. "As we were leaviirg the house we met Nunez In his beautiful embroidered dress, drinking 'courage' (as tho bull' lighters call tho absinthe which is given to them octoro they go into action) with his other comrades. "Come and wish mo luck, both of you,' Nunez said gayly to us, and wo complied with inward misgivings. For both of us w shed most devoutly that all was over and that he was back among us again safe. 'And,' ho con tinued to me as we drank with all the honors, 'give mo that whito pink in rour buttoiiho o. Alvarez: and if anv thing happens to me that ghost will give it back to you,' ho added, laugh ing. "The whole company shuddered in spite of themselves. For though thev pretended not to believe in superstitions his words sounded like tempting l'rovi donee or braving the devil. ."Rodriguez and 1 went on our walk and returned to the school about seven. Tho tirst thing that greeted our ryes was tho body or Nunez being carried in'o the church near tho school dead. The ghost had made good his warning, and the bravo lad met his fate, rut oil from life in the prime of manhood His comrades, silent and pale, were wnngiug their hands in agony. 1h. that we had warned him!' was in the m tids of all. "I would not go to bed alone that night, but turned in with old Rodriguez; and in the dead of night wo were awakened bv a martial footstep, and we saw a white, dim figure, with drawn word, stop at the bedside, drot something on the coverlet and depart as suddenly as it had entered. "In the morning on the coverlet lay mv pink, white the dav before, now faded and scarlet." 1'hiUnUljltia M'trs.

During the war Dr. Wright, of the Confederate army, was the poMt-surgeon at Canton, Miss. Among the furloughed soldiers at that place was a tall, commanding-looking fellow named Forester Richards, a high privato in tho Ninth Mississippi. Ho had been wounded, and his furlough having expired, ho was, by a "general order," required to report to Dr. Wright, who had power to extend his furlough or to send him back to his command. Richards was having a good time, and although his wound had healed ho was not altogether ready or axious to go back to the front. Ho was a good deal of a wag and managed to so win tho Doctor's favor that the latter detailed him as a clerk in his office. One day while the Doctor was out for a drive, Richards dressed himself out in an extra suit of the Doctor's uniform, and seating himself in the office, awaited his return. When Dr. Wright arrived he rose from his seat in a very dignified manner Hnd introduced himself as Dr. Ford, Chief Medical Director of General Hragg's army, and Immediately commenced ro riinanding him for neglect of duty for being absent from his post, eie. ui course Dr. Wright who had not ; recog nized his clerk in the person of hifviAiir a tul no. tin tlinnVrlit.

Dr. W right had hardly gone before Richards called a lot of his soldier friends into tho office and fur loughed tho last one of them for sixty days. In tho afternoon a Mrs. Applogate, whoso little son had received gratuitous medical treatment from Dr. W right do siring to make somo return therefor, sent a largo tray of cake and several . ... . i .i i:..i l.. bodies 01 wine lo tne oiuee. jucnarua and a half-dozen of his recently fur loughed companions were having a high time over tho good things when in stepped Dr. Wright, who at once de manded to know "what uiey were doing."

Do you think, Dr. Wright, tlmt I would accent the responsibilities of tho position without tho beueliU of some of its pleasures." "Well, all 1 have got to say is I think your conduct outrageous and in viola tion nf nil mililnrv discipline, and I shall immediately order every one of vou uacK to your coinmanus, sum me Doctor. "You do it. Dr. Wright, and I shall at once appeal the case to nr. roru, re plied Richards, and tho party arose and I, .ft tint ollieo. In about ton minutes the Doctor sent liis Hcrvimt for Richards. As the latter entered tint office the Doctor said "T.,u,k- hero, old fellow, don't voll want - - v " v a sixty days' furlough so thatyoucan go home and hunt and fish until your wound tots perfectly well?" "That suits me exactly. Doctor," said . Richards. It is needless to. add tho desired fur lough was immediately forthcoming, but not until Richards had promised to say nothing about what had happened w hile he was in the post surgeon's office at least, not until tho war was over.

They began rapidly forking it up, and continued until the mow was so dusty as to be fairly suffocating, and the old man was almost buried in the mass. After a little they heard not a word of complaint and in a few minutes down to the lloor, covered with hay and at most choked, camo Uncle Silas.

The MytliolBl al Healnnliif of the Capital of Ilultfttria. This city may be called tho sacred city of the Hulgarians. It has been i . ....1.1 ..m nt.ifl) known to the trading worm u two thousand years, and, line must cities of ancient renown, had a mythological beginning. The Illyrians, whose empire extended tho whole en-'th of tho east, shore of the Adriatic Sea, were tho first people of import ance living in tho countries now inhab ited by the Servians, Dalmatians, Al- banians and Bulgarians. traditions of tho Illyrians declare that Sophia or Sardica owes its foundation to celestial agencies, which, when Westernized, read something like 'he following: Illyria, King of the Illyri ans, having an exceedingly beautiful daughter, who had attracted the atten tion of a famous god circulating through tho air of her neignnornoou. was easily persuaded by him to desert her parental alnideof ease ami afflu ence and lly away with him to find new scenes and discover new lands.

C..,1ina way. J he gou caueu me wnu o.uu.i.c, tho name of his mortal bride, and the lllyrian word for "heart." And so that town being on tho route of the great commercial caravans from the east to tho west, and of the monster armies marching both ways in the mid dle ages, as early as the time of Alex ander the Great of Macedonia it was an important wid flourishing city. v hen the Romans conquered Illyria, about ono hunureti nnu si.iy-iiu before Christ, Sardica became chief city of the Lmpirc, the Jvo mans making it the center of tho Radii, the roads of which running in every direction were so well built that until within a few years they were in wet weather the only passable ways for the shepherd and traveler. Upon tho tall or tne nomaus a nujuiinu hordo from Asia, under their chief, Bulgar, reached the Halkan mountains, and? spreading all over the rich plains between Asia und Russia, in time be come one of the most powerful tribes, carrying their conquests as far west as Hungary, and holding sway for nearly four hundred years. They were, how ever, defeated by the Servians and Hungarians, who, in turn, were con (piered by tho Turks in 1382, but tho Hulgarians gained their independence only in 1870. Notwithstanding these dynastic changes, Sardica remained the chief city of the Halkan peninsu lar on tho road from Constantinople to Vienna. That it was a great center of travel in the long past the ruins of a mammoth hotel, erected in tho middle ages, largo enough to accommodate a thousand guests, may still bo seen, though perforated with Turkish bullets and shot, and showing the conflicts of ages of ar. The Hulgarians called their city So phia, after their queen, and erected to her memory the celebrated mosotie, or chinch, the finest specimen of Bulga rian architecture in existence, and which, though much dilapidated, is the admiration of the European traveler. In the old city the remains of a (Jrecian temple dedicated ti) Sardice and a Ro man amphitheater may still be seen. Tho beautiful situation of Sophia, its great age, the extent of the territory it covers its houses being mostly one story in height and all surrounded with gay gardens and as the residence of Prince Alexander give the city new interest. With its number of distinct races, each speaking its own idiom or language, ami differing from each other in dress and manners and customs, which comes, as one traveler expresses it, from tho fact that each province has its own mountain barrier and sea boundary, as if it was intended by na ture they should form so many inde pendent States, tho city of Sophia pre sents an attractive picture to tho tour ist emerging from tho deep forests or descending tho high hills of the Bul garian frontier. The city contains about twenty-two thousand inhabitants, many of whom are wealthy, and owing to their health ful occupations and sobriety they are strong and patriotic people. In a few years, under the progressive impetus given to tho whole world by the inven tion of the railroad and telegraph, the archaiologist may have tho pleasure of studying three cities within a stone's throw of each other the Ulpio-Sardiea of tho Illyrians and Romans, the old city of Sophia of ancient Bulgaria, and the new eity' of Sophia, which is being built southeast of the site of Sardica.
