The balance oi his dress, or the lack of it, is of little moment. A native will pay iwenty- flvo dollars for a hat that will weigh five pounds, as much for a scrape or shawl, and one dollar will furnish his pantaloons. If he has any moil-y left he will buy a revolver, mid take the chances of getting 1 iis dinner. Of thousands of Mexican women of the middle and lower classes that we saw on our trip, not one of them wore a bonnet; but the universal black shawl covered head and shoulders. The burro is the grand means oi transportation, except the Mexican himself. The Mexican porter will carry a load of 300 pounds or more; and ihe burro must carry whatever can be heaped or tied upon him. All the wood that is burned in the towns and cities, the most of which are roots dug out of Ihe ground cut into lengths of about eighteen inch es, is carried to market on the backs of ihe burros, ns is also hay, milk—anything and everything. The burro is ihe express wagon and dray of Mexico. Occasionally, and only occasionally, one will see a cartorrough wagon, none of which, however, have a particle of iron in their construction. The wheels ere still more appaling disaster to the Pacific.

Anxious to reap the golden fruits derived from the carrying of the mails, and to alsoshowto the world that the United States a is as well able to-build and organ.ze a fleet of swift steamers as Croat Brit- ian, E. K. Collins launched his com pany, the end of which was a tragic one. He was to receive a subsidy of *19,250 per voyage to home built steamers carrying the mails of the United States to and from Europe, and he began nobly by constructing four magnificent steamers, the Arc tic, the Baltic, the Atlantic and the Pacific. These vessels were built of live oak planked with pitch pine, the hull being extremely solid, and divided into compartments, so that, iu the opinion of their builders, they were ail but proof against be ing sunk by a collission or by touch ing the ground. These steamers began to carry the nails and pass engers in 1S50, and very soon Con gress raised Mr. Collins’ subsidy to $33,000 pier voyage, and fixing the minimum at $S5S,000per annum. The Collins steamers, superbly furnished, performed such runs across the Atlantic as had never be fore been made; and one of them, the Arctic, after doing the voyage from west to east in a little over nine days, was proudly christened bv oar hurrahing countrymen “the ,..r ->f the seas.” Alas! the sad clipper of the end came only too soon. The cap tains took to raeeing, and there w is no personal management to Mop them. her, 1804, ‘-the clipper of the seas left Liverpool for New York with -33 On the 21st of Septet.,- passengers and a crew of 13-5, nc r- ! . ,,n t ,f them Americans.

Only fourteen pass engers were saved, and among with my husband, was living in a city not far from here I noticed that a member of our church, a poor wo man, was not regular in her attend ance, and finally did not attend all. j called upon her: and she said of uie with the utmost frankness that her husband was inclined to be hard with her, that lie did not go to church, and that if she was not home on Sunday to have his dinne- for him very nearly at,12o’clock,he was abusive. She said that my husband preached such long sermons that she could seldom get home until 12 o'clock, and thai rather than have unpleasantness at home.she had re frained from going to church any more. She said that she would not have spoken of tiie matter but for the fact that three other women of her acquaintance were also kept from attendances by similar circum stance. She gave me tiie names oi the wotr °n and I called upon them and found her story exactly true. I laid the facts before my husband and he determined to makea change in his programme. instead ot reading all the hymns he merely read tiie first verse of each, and he began the service precisely at 10:30 whether the congregation were on hand or not. He shortened his prayer to 8 minutes instead of 15. His sermons were commenced by 11 never later than 10 minutes af ter, and always concluded by 11:45. Within three months alter he had made this change there was a revi val in the church, and one of the first persons brought in was the husband of the woman whom I first met.” A Talc of Love One quiet day in leafy June,when bees and birds were all in tune, two lovers walked beneath the moon.— The night was fair,so was the maid; thev walked anil talked beneath tne shade, with none to harm or make afraid. Her name was Sal, and his was pim anil lie was fat and she was ’•he took to hr, md she took slim; ’says Jim to Sal, “By all thesi.-akes rhat squrim among the brush and brakes, I love you better’n buck wheat cakes.' Several years ago. Bob Woolsey, the well-known dispatcher, was trainmaster on the Indianapolis <4 St. Louis Road, whose competitor, the Vandaiia line, was hauling a large amount of stock out of St Louis and making faster time than nis road had thought be3t to try. After days of thought and figuring, says the railroader. Bob went to his superitor officer and said: “Colonel, I believe we can get s 'me of that stock if we make the effort.” The Superintendent took a day on so to study on- the matter. When, finally, he concluded Bob was about right he began arranging for a trial trip. He went to Bob one day and as tonished that gentleman by saying: “Bob, I have been looking all over our road from St. Louis to InJian- apoiis for a man capable of taking that stock train out of St. Louis to- norrow. Now, 1 wonld 'ike for you to go down and put her through and see if we can’t make as good .ime as the Van.” Tne next day Woolsey departed >>r his new field of duty, arid the • e=ult iu his own words as given be low, shows what force of character will do for a determined mind. “We got away from the stock yards in good shape with twenty- five cars of nice western cattle, all for the same firm in Buffalo. I gave the engineer orders to put her through as fast as he could. Well sir, it was fun to watch the two trains, only a few rods apart, skip ping along in their race. After awhile we parted, the Vandaiia train abouta mile behind us. Ev erything was in our favor, and we were going along about sixty miles an hour until within six miles of Mattoon every car of stock went into the ditch. Yes, Sir, every car and they were nicely piled up, too. When I had taken in the situation and realized what a failure it was, both for the company and myself, my mind was made up mighty quick. “I started the engine over to Mat toon for all the butchers in the town and inside of six hours I had a train of dressed beef an route East. Well, we sold that beef at good prices, and when we figured up we found the company just $1,200 ahead after paying for the damaged cars and everything. What will we do with the car of green hides, Colonel?’ I asked. “‘Well, Bob, you didn’t make much of a success .with the stock, but you made it pay, and I guess you better call the hides your own.' “I sold that car of green hides for just $150 and then built the stock bus iness. I knew when I had enough.’ sles prevail there to a small extent; but while it is of a mild type among the white children, it has proved very fatal with the negroes. It is not to measles or to any disease that this mortality,is traceable- It is caused by imprudence, by lack of the proper care and attention. The negro children are neglected, re ceive no nursing, fail to gel uu medical attendance, the medicine, or food they require. They Ii ve. even when in good health, in tiie most unsanitary condition and deft all the iawsofhygeine. Every South ern city is suffering from this same trouble. Its death list is swollen bj the thousands of ignorant negroes who fall victims to their careless ness and imprudence. Diseases are nursed in its negro quarters; small pox, measles, and scarlet fever lin ger there, 'when they have been driven out from all the white dis tricts. The evil is grownmg worse from day to day. There lias been no sanitary improvement among ihe Southern negroes, no decrease in mortality. Each year shows a worse condition of affairs.

And then—and then—and then! O gals! beware of men in June, and underneath the silvery moon, when frogs and June-bugs are in tune, lest you get your name in the paper soon. An eye-witness, engaged in 1885 at Fortress Monroe in the ordnance department now a resident and at tached to the police department of Baltimore,says that when Mr. Da vis landed frrm tiie gun-boat on the Uovernment wharf, the guard that eived him kept back the look mi to a considerable distance while they conducted (he prisoner to the interior of the fortification and the casemate assigned for his incarceration. Soon after he was lodged there the officer of the day called and advised.him that orders had betn received from Washing ton to place him in iron, and asked him to submit by lying prestrate on the cot then within the base ment. Mr.Davis, with some vehe mence. objected, and asked that the order should be read to him. This was done, and he still refused, and declared that the manacles should only be placed on him by force. The blacksmith was then present with the leg irons, and a soldier, be ing so ordered, placed his musket across the prisoner’s breast, press ed him to and then down on the cot. While in that position the smith riv eted the irons on the ankles, and the prisoner, thus secured, was lock ed in tne casement. A day or so foi- o wing, an order came from Wash ington to remove the manacles, and soon afterwards to open the door, and finally to allow Mr- Davis to exercise himself by limited walks within the grounds. The order to iron was issued, it is said, by Secer- tary Stanton, and the preparation to do so were all made prior to the crrival of the gun-boat. Presiqent Johnson issued the ameliorating orders that followed. Large Death Rate. The'efforts of some men to avoid work while they make pretentious to be hunting for it are amusing. A man applied to a rancher near Au burn recently for a job and was told that he could go to work with out a moment’s delay. He was giv en his choice between working in the vineyard or irrigating. He sain that he did not like either, and that he had been used to hay and grain fields. The rancher told him that he needed a man right away to help make hay, and to peel off his coat. Then the stranger hesitated and said he would prefer a job that would.last.the year round. The ranch er was agreeable to that proposi lion also, and told him that if he would work steadily he would hire him by the year. The appiicant thought a year a little too long aud eouciuded that he preferred to work by the day. The rancher said he would hire him by the day, and then the man who wanted work went off saying he would see about it. The truth is that no white man need be idle just now if he is willing to work. THE PARSON’ AXl) THE UAH. The last mortuary report of the Health Officer of Savannah shows & death rate per 1,000 of the popula tion of 12.19 for the whites and i22_ 94 for the colored people. This is had enough, but the mortality of the colored children is even worse, be ing at the rate of 601.03 per 1,000. Should snch a mortality continue it will sweep away all the piccanin nies of the Georgia city. At this rate oi mortality tne average dura tion of life among the negroes of Savannah is but little over eight years, and this when the city is free from any epidemic disease.

Ole Pa’ son Cliffs was one of the aJUiredest, joedarndest sort of a Methodis’ you ever seed. He prayed reg’Iar, three times a day, an’ at big meet- in’ times, the bigha’f of the night. “He went down to see Uncle Billy. The ole man Billy was a strict church member, but he did love to laugh as good as anybody. Ole pa’son had ’em all to pray that night, an’ ole man Billy was mighty serious, and behaved him self like a rale good ’un. Nex’ mornin’, as it was nice wether, they all got out on the front piaz- zer, an’ ole pa’son, he lined out a hime,an’ they sung it, an’ then ole pa,son said, ‘let us pray.’ .Now, pa’sonft head was as bald as sin. It were the baldest head I ever seen. Ther’ didn’ seem to be a single hair twixt the ole pa'son’s head an’ heav’n. W’en he prayed, he jes’ naturally come down to it, and that ole shiny head a bobbin up’n down, were a rale funny sight tn folks what wern’t interested. Uncle Biily had an ole pet sheep, black as pitch, an’ with more cuss edness wrapped up in his hide than you could shake a stick at. This ole sheep was out a feeden’ in the back yard, an’ he seed his opportu nity. The old man was gettin’ in a weevin’ way. His head was bobbin up an’ down, back’rds and for’ards. The ole ram saw it, an’ he tuck it fur a banter. Bracin’ ’iinself, he bowed’is neck, wiggled ’is tail, an started in a gallop. Ole Uncle Bil ly was lookin’ out o’ the corner of’is eye to see if it’ud rain and save the corn crap, an’ ’e saw the ole sheep a cornin’ a tiltin’. He started to say sufnp’n to warn tiie ole pa’son, but he was so eternally tickled that he choked, an’ the pa’son tuck it fur amen, an’ e’ jest prayed the louder, an’jest as he reared back the old ram tuck ’im kerspank! an’ over ther cheer ’e went, an’ landed in a mud-hole under the water shelf, an’ the cheer a-top o’ him. “ ‘Brother Riser,’ he blubbered, ’I—I al’us had my doubts of-of your religion, an’—an’ now I b’iieve yer a hypocrite, an’--an,—durn that sheep!’ he said, as the ole ram sor ter bleated in a pitiful way. “But Uncle Billy wus Iattin’ ’irn- seifsore, an’ the ole lady Riser wus done gone to the kitchen, an’ the ole man Cliffs shuck ’is fist at the sheep, an’ went inside an’ put on some dry breeches.”—M.

He is allowed $!25 a year for static iiery. The most of this sum is pocketed. The members draw their money in different ways. There are prob ably twenty of the present House who let their salaries run into nest eggs. Among these are Scott and Everhart, of Pennsylvania; Powell, of Illinois; Bouteile, of Maine; Hen ley, of California; Jones, Stewart and Reagan, of Texas; Ellisbury, of Ohio; Stone, of Massachusetts, and Wakefield, of Minnesota. Scott lias over a year’s salary owing him— about $6,000. The other members have from $1,000 to $3,000 to their credit There area couple of dozen of members who always overdraw, or, rather, borrow from the head of the bank. They borrow or get in advances sums ranging from $10 to $300 and at the end of each month they have nothing. The great majority of the members draw ail that is coming to them at the end of each month, particularly those who have their families with them. Some of them never see an outside bank, but let their monthly salary remain and draw it out in small sums. Others take out their salaries and place them in other bankr. But this is not done as much as formerly. A number of them got caught in the Middleton Bank that broke some time ago. Most of the members do all their financial business over the counter of the Congressional bank, and some of them pile checks up as high as $60,000 in a single session— IWash ington Hatchet. “The Brarcst are the Tenderest.” A slender, white whiskered, brave-eyed man sat near the fare- box in the upper end of an F street car this afternoon. He wore a high white Derby hat upon hi head and his clothes were of black broadcloth. A,high Henry Clay collar grasped his neck and a pair of blackrimned spectacles hung by a string upon his vest. He was chatting to a lady at his side and his black eyes sparkled and a most winning smile beamed over his weather-beaten face as the conver sation went on. The car stopped and I was surprised to see him jump to his feet and walk rapidly to the door. As my eys followed him they rested upon a little fair faced hunchback on crutches who was trying to get into the car. She had the face ot a child and the body of a mature woman, but that body contorted and twisted and dwarfed outof all human proportion. I saw this slender, gray-whiskerd, bronz ed faced, dark eyed man bend over her and ask her where she wanted to go. She told him and her face lightened up as he assured her that this car was the right one. Then, addressing her with as much court esy as though she had been the President’s new bride, he asked her if he might not help her into the car. She thanked him and putting his hands under her arms, he lifted her up the steps, and placed her crutch es beside her. He tipped his hat and then resumed his seat and conver sation. This old gentleman was Gen. Joe Johnson, the great Con federate leader.—[“Carp” in Cleve land Leader. The adage: easier said than done,” is only a variation of what we are constantly observing in life o:’the difference between tlieo-y and practice. We may be fully equipped with a theory, and eier. ready glibly to expound it, though when the occasion arises for put ting it into practice we forget all about it. The teacher of chemistry in a 1 irge public school was speaking to his class of the properties of a pa,- ticular acid. In one hand be held a glass vessel filled with the acid in question: in the olher lie held a stick of chalk with which he had just been writing'a chemical formu la on the blackboard. “By the way,” he said, address ing his class, “I may remark lien that should any of you by accident spill any of this acid on your hands I should advise you not to give way to the very natural impulse to rub it off with your pocket-hand kerchief. Take a price of chalk in stantly, and rub it. over the wi t surface, and the chalk will neutral ize the effects of the acid.” Just then, by an accidental move ment, he spilled the acid on his own hand. Quick as a shot; he dropped tiie piece oi chalk which he held in his hand, pulled out his pocket- handkerchief, and began rubbing the injured hand vigorously. Everybody who was present laughed at this unexpected applica tion of theoretical knowledge; and after a bewildered glance round the room the teacher laughed to. The demonstration of ihe differ ence between theoretical knowl edge and practical efficiencyjjwas complete.

According to a Washington statis tician, there have been some 12,000 bills introduced in Congress this sea son, three-tourths of which are House bills. Of the 3,000 introduced in the Senate, 448 are set down to Mr. Sawyer and 447 to Mr. Blair. No other Senator is guilty of half so many, though Mr. Sewell comes up with 205 and Mr. Van Wyck with 201. The Kansas Senators, Plum and Ingalls, respectfully numbered 150 and 151. As to the character of these measures, Mr. Blair easily heads the list in the matter of nonsense. Mr. Sawyer’s are doubtless mostly private pen sion bills, as he acquired great dis tinction some weeks ago in prepar ing an enormous number within a given time for presentation on the part of the Pension Committee. Mr. Kenna, of West Virginia, introdu ced the lowest number, two, if we except Mr. Jones, of Florida, who ha-, been continuously absent, and who has presented none at all. The Kudos is due unto Mr. Jones. What it Cost to Run the Gorernmnet. SOHE STRANGE SPELLING.

This is equal to $5 for each inhabitant. The money is raised mainly by the internal rev enue tax on whiskey and tobacco and the customs, or tariff duties, on goods imported from foreign countries. The true Democratic policy is to reduce the expenses as low as is consistent with good government, and then raise the necessary amount by taxes on the luxuries of life, articles of necessity, such as plain clothing, hardware, iron, and staple articles of food like sugar, coffee, rice, molasses, fish etc, should be on the free list. Such articles as liquor, tobacco, silks, fine goods of various kinds, jewelry, laces and other luxuries should te made to bear the burden. This would place the tax on the people who are most able to bear it. W S. Winters, ESTABLISHED 1873. G. W.
