To this add a shawl, and Hie aver
age Mexican considers himself got
up in style. 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.

towns and cities, the most of which

The burro is ihe express wagon and

however, have a particle of iron in

RISK AND FA 1-1- OF A STKAJISllir USE.
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

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;

make afraid.

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

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.

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 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

Savannah is but little over eight

“That ’ere ole black rain there

as we sat on the fence and tried to
see if there were enough lambs to
go round.
“Didn’t you never hearn of it?”
“Npver did,-let’s hear it.”
“Well, it was this way. 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

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

majority of the members draw ail

“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

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.

Hie Bills.
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.

It costs $300,000, 000 a year to run
the United States government, in
cluding interest and payments on
the national debt. 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.

“I sent you an account of $25 for
collection,” said a man, coming into
the office of a Dakota lawyer.
“Yes,you did.”
“What suocess have you had ?”
“Sued him last week and got it.”
“That’s good. Give me the money
and tell me the amount of yourfei s
and I will pay you.”
“My fees are $50. I have given
you credit for $25 collected—pay
me another $25 and we’ll be square.”
“What!” gasped the mar.; “I
don’t see where I make anything
by collecting the debr.”
Nothing, my dear sir, from a
money point of view; out you have
t ie satisfaction of knowing that a
dishonest man has been brought to
justice! You can use your own
pleasure about paying the $25 now;
l took the precaution to begin a suit
against you for the amount this
morning.
