I t may be vole 1 bad taste for a lady to write on the subject I have conclude 1 to use for this letter, imr I cmld hardly write of Mexico, without tel'iirc >'n,i of the chief na­tional sport, and the bail ti.Thttn:, and samb-\\UZ are to Me\ico, what races a n l Pase Uall are to the CmU'd States, and as I have had the opportunity of seeiii"; wluf-fow Ameri­cans have s-e'a. u no te ! Spanish liajl tijaler. with his comjia.'-.y of supports, all from Spain. I am coins! t« fry and jrive yoa a brief des-cription of what I saw. When ctoinJ; back into the r n i t e l .-tat"r> from Mexico, one of the first tftestions you are called ":i to -answer is. "Have yon been to a liuil ti^ht. what was it like ?" Now I will try to reply.

At Irapuato. a town about I s miles south of S.lao. on Jau. Iitli . I entered for the 'irsL and I hope, the last time, a f.uno.is Me\ican bull rinat. Tills is to t.,e Mexic.ia p ;Mic. wii.it the arena was t » Il-viiaiis. Tae mi" I visited was an immense strucure, of a lobe. stone and cemetiL perfectly round, and so arranged, that from th" CTOUIIl at the elite of the ruin, the structure, slopes back, by re.trularly arramred steps, each one forming a seat, until the upper si at. or step, which is wider, is formed into a srallen. where the boxes and reserved seats are placed. The appearance of this seating arrangement is very like that of a mammoth circus tent, but there is no coverm:, or roof, save a narrow balcony-like covering over the gallery. The center is a large open Tins, surrounded by a plank, wall or fence about ."> ft. lii-rh; this is placed about 3 or 4 ft. from the tirst step or seat of the main structure which is possibly 6 ft. from the ground. The seaumt; capacity is very {treat and on this day it would have been ditlieult to have placed one hundred more people. The tickets sold for from one to tea dollars apiece, and nearly every seat but a few of the one-dollar ones was tilled.

Louis Mazzautini, said to be the third most noted flsthter m the world, a uative of Spain, with his company, was the jreneral attraction on this occasion, anil the opeuius; of the after­noon's entertainment, was. first, an overture by the band, then a grand parade. This en­tered the rin?. through a gateway, under the seating portion of the building," First came three males, harnessed abreast, driven by two Mexicans dressed in white; then two horsemen mounted on lair lookiug: horses, each carrying a lasso; I did not know at first what part these people could have in the tisht but learned soon: the mules dratr oil the dead hulls and the horsemen with lassos Urat< oil the horses. Followim, the horsemen came four mounted men called picadores. dressed in leather suits and large hats. Un ler the leather, from the knee down over the foot, these men wear a cast iron shield. Theu came the hero of the day and bis troupe, dressed iu tights of fiashina;colors and trimmed in sclitter-iti_, tiusei, each carrying a bia; cape-like affair, red ou one side and yellow on the other. These are used to aggravate the animals as they fight.

The parade over, the mules and two horse­men leave the ring. The picadores, on their poor horrible-looking ponies, each one armed with an immense pole, tipped with a pointed steel, statiou themselves near the outer edge of the rimr and the lighters, eight in number, turn ti) await the advent of the already en­raged animal that they are to meet. He comes, dashes into the center of the ring, stops, raises his bead, roars like an infuriated beast, paws the ground, bellows, and then dashes at the nearest object, which is usually a poor blind-folded horse, with his rider, the iron and leather clad picadore. l ie is prod­ded off with the steel-pointed pole, lunges again, this time at a red cape thrown toward him by Mazzantini or some of his followers. Sometimes the beast rushes toward them with such determination that the men are forced to seek refuge behind the plank fence I mentioned before. Thus, losing his human prey he again lunges at a horse, catches him either in the shoulder or flank, and tossing him as a cat would a mouse, often tearing the saddle off and throwing the picadore to the ground, sometimes under the horse. This part of the tight is by all odds the most repul­sive and disgusting. The poor defenseless

Cruise -Between St. Joints and Crown Piont.

Jo-irnal of procee ings of the Vessels that were on a cruise to Grown Point inclosed In preceding

St. John?, Ttmraday. May 6. 1779. At 12 O'clock trot under weigh as did the

Carleton, Lee and Liberty blew very strong from the N. Vf. at 3 o'clock at noon anehord abreast of the Isle aux Kobe.

Friday. May 7th— Strong gale from N. VT. till eleven o'clock the Maria having little or no ballast in her I did not think it safe to get under weigh. At 12 o'clock being now mod­erate got under way and proceeded with the re.-t of the Vessels as far up as Wind-mill P>i\ and cime to an anchor at i o'clock at noon sent all the Boats from the diQerent VHSS. U t,i rr,?t Ballast off the Maria.

Saturday, .'-th—Light winds from the N. N. \T. by 11 o'clock we compleated the Maria with Ballast at 12 got under weigh with the fleet at a it falling calm came to anchor off Sandy Point. Isle au Motte at 7 o'clock came on board 17 friends to Government which I | immediately sent down in the Liberty to the ' Isle aux Noix. |

Sunday, nth—Light winds from the W. S. 1 TV. proceeded up" the Lake at 10 o'clock at night anchored in Sandy Bay between Val- j cour and Schuyler's Island. We observed a 1

with ti em much ammunition and store? Ml into the ban.is of th» Americans without the loss nf a Singh3 life.

After fhe captures of Tic.-milemp* and Crown Point the Americips had full possps-sion of the lake.

The British saw that if the American? had control of it. it would be hard to conquer them, so t ier started fitting out a fleet at S t Johns on the Richelieu River for service on the lake.

At the same time Arnold was fitting oat a fleet at Crown Point on the other end of the lake.

After Arnold's fleet was ready he tjegan cruising around the lower part of the lake. After a" few days he s.vled up the lake with his fleet and anchored between Valcour Island and the mainland, where he was join­ed by some other vessels.

On the eleventh of October, seventeen sev­enty-six the British fleet which was complet­ed was seen coming around Cumberland Head commanded by Sir Guy Carletou and Pringle.

Then Waterbury. one of Arnold's officers asked him to turn and get a better place in which to anchor because his fleet was not so strong as the British one and because he was not anchored in a good place, but Arnold did not change his position.

The English did not discover the Ameri­cans at first, but as quick as they saw them they sailed to where the American fleet was and opened fire on the "Royal Savage" which was in advance of the line or boats. The "Royal Savage" sustained the tire for a little, but her men soon left her and went in boats to the other ships. The British then boarded and set her on lire aud after a while. she sunk.

Then the Americans returned the fire and the battle continued for a few hours, two or three American boats lie'tng sunk. A few small boats succeeded iu Retting away and going to Crown Point, This was a victory for the British.

ooks like I horses are literally torn to pieces alive, the horns of the buiis are p-ore deadly than a knife. It is a common tliiug to see (after the bull has made a frantic rush 1 a poor blind­folded horse reel across the ring under the weight of a rider, with blood gushing from his side in a stream as large as a man's wrist, or with his intestines dragging under his feet and to fall dying under his harden. One bull usually kills 3 or -I horses, aud for 15 or 20 minutes, makes one mad rush after another toward the fighter, when he begins to show fatigue. Then the lighters goad him on, at­tract his attention, aud throw into his should­ers a pah-of banderilleros. These are long , V e , s o ! s e m . l l o v e t . s o u u d i n „ decorated arrow-like atlairs. each one tipped ' . ' . - . . . . » with a long dagger poiut, which is made like an arrow head or fish hook at the upper end, so when ouce well into the flesh caunot be thrown off. The man, who by throwing the pair of baiidenlleros at once, places one in each Shoulder of the bull, wins high favor with the public, but if he fails he is greeted with wild hissing. This is repeated four or five limes, then when they have worn the animal oat by torture and fighting, the chief of the fighters", Mazzantini, addresses the City mayor or "Jefe Politico" (hefe Political, as he is called, 1 who is seated in a private box. with two or three attendants, and asks permission to dis­patch the hull. His request is granted. Then, armed with a llaming red llag and a sword, he again turns to his foe. and after making a few by-plays and catching the animal in the proper position, lunges the sword into the bull in such a manner as to enter the lungs. When the bull falls by the first stab the work is said to be well done. But it often takes two, three aud even four attempts, and theu the lighter is treated to hisses of disapproval. Then, after the animal is dead, come tne mules to drag off the victim of the human hero, and the horsemen to remove the man­gled horses, and the ring is ready for another contest. I witnessed this scene six times, and while the men had such famous names as lighters, they only killed one bull at the first trial, and the light was pronounced by all to be a failure in every respect save cruelty, six balls and fourteen horses having been slain to satisfy the public desire for sport.

I am mure astonished every day at the stu­pidity of the newspapers that pretend to know so much and tell us all about the cause of the Maine disaster. Some lay it to the Span­iards and some say it was the Cubans, and others again guess that it was an internal ex­plosion or a case of accidental suicide. But it is all guesswork, for that matter.

Why hasn't a single editor in the whole country the moral courage to come out with the troth or hasn't the brains to see it? The whole thing is simple enoagh to any one who takes a broad, statesmanlike view of matters. Just look at it once that way. Here are the protected interests that want an excuse for a •till higher tariff, then there are the pension •gents that want more soldiers to get pension* for, aud along with them are the silver men that want to create met) a demand for more money that a mint will be established at every silver mine, all wanting a war to bring about their purposes. Slow what simpler ex­pedient could tbey resort to l» bring on a war than to blow up the Maine themselves ia such a way as to leave the biaaae on almost any foreigners. And who would hare charn of this basiaess bat the nun who bought & presidency all over the eonotrr? Depend np-on it, the M M who kaowt the most nbowt the blowing np of lbs MaUw Is Mark Hanoa

Washington, Feb. 10.—Referring to Gen. Mile3' recent order to Gen. Merritt, command­ing the department of the East to detail men and officers to all coast defence points where modern guns are mounted it was said at the war department to-day that while the order was nothing more than following out the plan of the war department formulated several years ago, when the present system ot coast defence wa3 inaugurated.

The order calls'for at least 30 men and the necessary officers to take charge of such coa3t defense emplacements a3 have been complet­ed and turned over to the war department These defenses are planned and constructed by tbe Engineer Corps and the guns furnish­ed t>y tbe ordinance department As Boon as completed men are at once detailed to care for the expensive work and ordinance. It is said that the detail of 20 men from be­ing an effective lighting force is barely suffi­cient to properly care for tbe property. There hare been a Dumber of these coast defence works completed recently and the order de­tailing men to cue for them is merely a rout­ine matter. / -

LAKE CHAMPLAIS.

About a hundred years after the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, on the fourth of July, sixteen hundred and nine, Samuel de Champlain, a French navigator and explorer with twenty-four canoe3 of In­dians rowed down the Richelieu River into the lake that now has his name. We there­fore have two reasons for celebrating the "glorious fourth."'

Champlain kept journeying and exploring southward along the coast and in the center of the lake until finally he met a part}' of hos­tile Iroquois, who were at war with the In- j dians of his party.

A battle was fought as nearly a3 can be as­certained at Ticonderoga in which Champlain and his party defeated and drove back the Iroquois. For about a hundred years after Champlain's discovery, the territory about there was claimed by both the French and English though neither secured possession of it. About seventy-live years after that in 17o5 the French commenced fortifying Ticon­deroga, which they called Carillon-^the Chime of Waters.

Ia 1757 the works were about done and covered a large space.

The next year General Abercrombie at­tacked the fortifications but he was defeated aud compelled to retreat leaving hundreds of dea.d aod dvio:£ soldiers on the field.

A year laior General Amberet with a large army of twelve thousand men encamped about the forts and Montcalm the French commander saw that it would not do to re­sist. So he exploded the magazine, spiked the guns and with hi3 army retreated down the lake.

Then Amherst took possession of tbe fort and commenced fortifying it a great deal more.

It remained in possession of tbe English until the Revolution. They also had Crown I

conderoga, and, pushing farther southward was defeated at Saratoga and Stillwater and surrendered to the Americans.

When the British forces at Ticonderoga heard of Burgoyne'3 surrender they left the place and retreated northward to Canada, but a force, of Americans partially cut them of! and captured about fifty and some provi­sions.

During the Revolution nothing more of im­portance happeued around Lake Champlain, but there was a battle at Platt3burgh in the war of 1812-14.

It was the eleventh of September, eighteen hundred and fourteen, a quite and beautiful Sabbath.

Commodore Macdonough's fleet which con­sisted or the Eagle, Saratoga, Ticonderoga and Preble and ten gun boats was anchored between Cumberland Head and Crab Island.

The Eagle headed the line, next the Sara­toga, next the Ticonderoga. and last near Crab Island was the Preble. Behind them in a line were the ten gun boat3 fixed in 3uch a position a3 to protect the larger boats. Mac­donough's arrangement of the ships was per­fect. —

About eight o'clock in the morning the British fleet"was sighted rounding Cumber­land Head. It was commanded by Commo­dore Downie and consisted of iheConriance, Linnet, Chub, Finch and twelve gun boats. Dowuie's ship was the Confiance.

The fleet sailed right up and anchored with^ in two cable leugtlis of the Saratoga. Then, almost a3 one gun out crashed the volley of twenty-four pounders into the Saratoga. She shook from stem to stern uuder that awful discharge, and about forty men were disabled.

Then the Saratoga returned the fire and tho battle raged for two and a half hours and the British were defeated.

The brave Downie was killed in the engage­ment and Macdonongh wa3 down twice— once he was struck by a broken boom and once a gunner's head that had been severed from the body was knocked against him.

Both crews stood unflinchingly at the guns to the last and the loss on both sides was ter­rible.

A man was not considered disabled if he could sit ou his knee3 and pas3 ammunition.

At the end of the battle there wa3 not a mast on either side fit for use and the sails looked like bundles of rags.

At the first of the engagement a hen coop on the Saratoga was demolished by a shot and a deliberated rooster flew to the mast and crowed. The sailors took it as a token of victory and cheered. Then they went into the tight with an ardor which won the battle fortliem.

While thi3 terrible battle was going on Sir George Provost with some English forces from Canada had attacked the village ot Plattsburgh.

It was fortified by three fort3, viz. Mon-reau, Scott and Brown of which Fort Monreau wa3 the principal one. It was also garrison­ed by several batteries and block bouses.

The Americans were commanded by Gen­eral Alexander McComb.

The British attacked the Americans at the lower bridge across the Saranae River and the upper one, both of which were gallantly defended.

When the British land forces heard of Dowuie's defeat they retreated and left many provisions.

Thu3 another glorious victory was added to the credit of the Americans.

Downie is buried in the cemetery at Platts­burgh and Macdonough and McComb for their bravery each received a medal from Congress and in the village of Plattsburgh a street i3 named for each of them.

To-day on the banks of the beautiful Lake Champlain are many prosperous towns.

The thunder of cannon and guns and the trumpet of war no longer echoes around its shores. We are at peace. May this peace never be broken.

THE WEEK. VERMONT.

Two students have just been dismissed from the University of Yermont for dishonesty in examinations.

The trial of Smith Davis for the inurdsr of Dora Cu3hman was finished in Middlebury, Feb. 20, the jury bringing in a verdict in the fourth count, charging Davis with procuring certain instruments for the purpose of pro­ducing an abortion on the deceased. This is the lightest verdict except acquittal, that could be found.

The fire losses in Vermont for 1897 have been summarized as follows: Number of fires, 317; value of property destroyed, $514,-573; amount of insurauce paid thereon, #339,-527. Thi3 i3 a very favorable showing as compared with 1895 and 189C, the percent­ages of losses to premiums in 1895 being 119.4; in 1896, 37.7, while in 1897 it was only 30.4.

Hon. B. B. Suialley of Burlington, Thoe. F. Patterson of Bostou, and Frederick S. Snow of Boston, have been appointed receiv­er* of the Burlington Woolen Company, the Colchester Mills and the Winooaki Wonted Company. Tbe jo int liabilities of the three amount to $1,200,000, all of which are endors­ed by Sawyer, Manning 4 Co., or Boston, at whose instance tbe receivers are appointed. It ia understood that the mills will not be dosed. The January wages have not yet been paid.
