We recently presented to our readers engravings of the above historic struc* tores, descriptions of which were delayed in transit from onr correspondent at Mexico. The following will be fcund of deep Interest to many readers of the Bunny South: The city of Mexico, situated in a valley snnoonped by mountains, in the gnat n of Mexico. 7 400 feet above the M of the sea, forms, with its array of towers and domes, one of the most mag nificent and picturesque scenes on the American continent. On the north of the Plana do Armas, the main square, ' the Cathedral founded by Philip yt. of Spain under the order of Pope Clement VII. given In 1530. The build Inc occupies the same site where stood tha great temple of the Aztecs, called Tbooalli. It was commenced In 1670 and finished in 1667. Ha coat waa (2,000,000, mI waa defrayed by the Kings of Spain, Philip II., Philip III., Philip IV., and Charles II. It measures 133 varas from north to south, and 64 versa from east to west. Its Interior architecture is of the Doric characteristic of Spain in the 16th century. Within it are 14 chapels, and 74 arches of its 51 domes are support ed by 20 columns 64 feet high and 14 feet in circumference. The octagonal cupola in the center la frescoed with representa tions from sacred history. It haa two magnificent organa of lm mease proportions, whose harmonious, solemn notes on great feast days ecno with wonderful effect through the aisles of the great edifice. The interior of the cathedral on these days is resplendent with golden crucifixes, candlesticks, chandeliers with a thousand lights and rellcaries of precious stones. The ronf is frescoed with splendid paintings. The building has six large doors, three on the south and one on each of the other car dlnal points. It ts surmounted by two magnificent towers 190 feet high, of Doric and Ionic architecture, and on three sides lovely gardens front it. This, the grandest Catholic temple in America, in the old days and up to 1S61 possessed great riches lu its ornaments. The principal sacred enstody was of gold, and had in front 5 872 diamonds, ind on the reverse 2.653 emeralds, 514 rabies, 1C6 amethysts and 28 sapphires, the whole valued at (150 000. Another enstody had 3 400diamonds, 1 400cmeralds and 850 pearls. The large gold enp of the sacrament had 1 676 aiamonds. Tne great communion cup had 122 diamonds, 143 emeralds, 132 rubles. There were 20 other chalices, adorned with diamonds and precious stones, and a large number of chandeliers, candlesticks, cresses and silver service. Most of the above were gifts from the Emperor Charles V. The cathedral was supposed to have in orna ments the valae of one million dollars. In 1861, many of the valuables articles were taken by the Liberal government.-* The National Palace of Mexico—witness of a thousand changes during the tnmnla tuocs history of the country, fronts and occupies the whole of the eastern side or the Plazade Armas, the Cathedral,occupy ing the north, it embraces an Immense block and stands on the[same site where stood the palace of Mont- zutna. In the partition made by the conquerors of the city laud, this locality was allotted to :their chief, Hernando Cortes, who built a house on it, having hsd a special grant for the same from the Ki og of Spain in 1529. It remained in the possession of the family of Cortes till 1562, when the King bought it to serve as the Vice-Boyai Palace. In the early days it was called the New Palace of Montezuma. From that time it has been gradually enlarged to the magnitude of its present vast pro portions. Here are the cilices of the president, foreign relations, treasury, in terior, war and navy, governor of the pal ace, commanding general of the city, poet office, general archives, musenm, fire department and barracks for the gar riaon. It has several large court vuds. It la not a very Imposing looking build ing, only two stories, and rather com monplace in its architectural features. The interior has only two rooms, the reception room ofthe president, the walls of which are covered by a crimson satin bearing the coat of arms of Maximilian’s empire. This work is so fine and costly that the Republican rulers have deemed tt beet to leave it untouched. The Hall of Ambassadors la a long, nar row room occupying the whole of the half front of the palace. It is here that foreign ministers are received.

It is said that long, long ago, this bell hnng in the bel fry of a town in Spain. One evening it rang alone, without the interference of human aid, alarming the good people of the place. The bell was denounced be fore the authorities and it was sentenced to lose its tongue and be perpetually ex iled. This cruel fiat was carried out, and the bell was brought to Mexico, and is now undergoing its unique destiny, save that it serves as a clock.

Despite the load of snow upon the rails a part of the journey was traveled at the rate of nearly a mile a minute. The whole distance of 110 miles was traveled, including nec essary stoppages, in less than four hours.

To the Tribune’s entertaining “Library of American Elopements” we may doubt less add the story of Miss Eunice Marr, of CarpeDtersville, Ala., which has just been made public. Miss Marr is a young lady rather under than above twenty years in age, and of a most light and blithesome nature. Indeed, her vivacity and playfulness are her prominent char acteristics. We may mention also in passing that she is an enthusiastic ama teur photographer. Now thia interest ing your g lady has for come time been receiving the earnest attentions of two yonng men of Carpentersville, Edwin R. Cole and Aloxzo Doubleday. Each Is an excellent yonng man, a member of the Young Men’s Christian Association and a teacher in the Sunday school. Thera was really little choice between them, and Miss Eunice has found it impossible to decide which one to select Under ordinaiy circumstances she would, of coarse, have taken the one to whom her parents objected, but, unfortunately, those worthy people, from some un known reason, did not look with any great favor on either. She did not, how ever, allow her anxiety in deciding to Interfere with her buoyancy of spirits. In her extremity she hit npon this lege* nions plan: She determined to insist on an elopement, arranging with each of them for the same night, and then go with the one who arrived first. She accordingly instructed Edwin R. Cole to put a ladder up to the north window of her room at 2 o’clock Tuesday morning, and told Alonzo Doubleday to do the same at the west window at the same time. One must almost certainly come a little before the other, she argued, and the other could scarcely Marne her for not waiting. Having thus nettled the perplexing question satisfac torily, she went about for the next few days with even a lighter heart than Mull. Monday night, when Miss Marr retired she set the alarm on her clock for half- past 1. Arising at that time, she was ready In fifteen minutes. Then she got •nt her detective camera and pnt it in readiness, her Idea being to take a snap shot nt the minister during the oeremo- ny. This attended to, she set down and waited the arrival of the man who was to be ber husband, with her yonng heart ia a pardonable flutter, something which waa doubtless increased by the pleasing on certainty as to whether it would be Edwin B Cole or Alonzo Doubleday. At one minute before 2 sho heard a alight noise outside the north window, as she thought. She listened, and it seemed at the west window. A horrible thought flashed upon her. She rushed to the north window. Edwin R. Cole was wrest ling with a heavy ladder below. She ran to tne west window. Alonzo Doubleday had a Udder about half way up. She etrpped back and panaed one moment. 81n.nltaneoua'y through the darkness The snndwichmen of London are esti mated to number 15,000.

Volumes could be written about the heroic achievements of the United States life saving service. The history of this service is one of the bravest and noblest of deeds of skill and daring com bined, of patience, fidelity and human ity. In a single year these 1,500 men, who are stationed at points of danger all along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and throughout the lake region, have dealt with 500 disasters of all sorts, saved six millions or seven millions of dollars of property in jeopardy, and, what is more important, have saved thousands of Human lives. I want to tell a few stories that will illustrate the service rendered by these men, but I scarcely know where to start. Superintendent Kimball and his assist ants tell so many tales of the heroism of their men, in whom they have a pardon able pride, that one feels like writing books instead of columns about them. One of the most picturesque accounts of rescue is that given of the manner in which a life saving crew traveled 110 miles by special train in a blinding snow storm and saved the lives of twenty-four sailors. Early in the morning of Nov. 17, 1886, one of the worst northeasters that ever swept over Lake Superior set in with a bewildering storm of snow and sleet, mounting to a gale, which scourged the waters into appalling turbulence. The tempest continued for more than three days. At Marquette in the morning of the 18tli the attention of men about the harbor was concentrated npon a quarter six miles to the eastward, where two spectral shapes were appearing and then vanishing in the storm. Soon a party of men put a yawl boat upon a wagon and started off on a voyage of discovery. It was as they had surmised. They found upon arrival that two vessels, one a large steam barge, the Robert WaJJace, and the other her consort, the schooner David Wallace, were stranded. The heavy seas were breaking over both ves sels, and the men on board were iu con stant expectation of their crafts going to pieces under the blows of the monstrous waves. The suffering and peril of the sailors had gone home to every heart, and the citizens engaged in a series of almost frantic efforts to save them. They manned the yawl and put out through the terrible surf with a rope in tow, held by their comrades on shore. Quick ly they were thrown upon the beach by the angry waters. Undaunted, they 315, or a little more than 36 per cent., had j ma( j e another effort, and still another, marr ’ c °' [ but with like results. A tug was sent for, but it was unable to get near enough to the wrecks to be of any service. Toward evenin; ANIMAL TOILETS.

Half of the men who say “Don’t pla, with fire” carry matches. If a man gets everything else he wants, he can’t get any younger. With no water in sight any man will boast of his skill at fishing. It is some men’s ambition to be great men before they learn to be men. With most men life is made up of going in debt and then straggling to get out. A man can always please a woman if hi will; a woman will always please a man ii she can.

Unless a woman is quite willing to have some one open her letters for her all her life she should never get married. When a wise man said, “Discretion is the better part of valor,” ail the cowards in the world found a motto for their caps. As long as there are more men in the world tn&n there are offices the devil will always reap an abundant harvest at elec tion time. the imperiled men that efforts were still being made for their rescue. Amid the general despair it had occurred to one man—Capt. Frink, of the tug Gillette— that a last resort lay in invoking the aid of the nearest life saving crew. He had indeed telegraphed some hours before to Keeper Albert Oclia, of the Ship Canal station. The message reached the keeper at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. He and his men at once sprang to work. In an hour they had the lifeboat, the Lyle gun and other apparatus loaded npon the deck of the tug which had brought them the message from Houghton. Hie tog then steamed away to Houghton, where a special train, composed of two flat cars and a passenger coach, was waiting for them. As soon as possible the lifeboat and the other apparatus were loaded on the cars, there being plenty of willing hands to lend assist ance, and at a quarter of 8 o’clock the train started on its journey through the snow and ice. A description of what followed, written by Capt. O’Con nor, now dead, is worth quoting: The noblest descriptive powers would find • fitting subject in tbe epic Journey of the life aev- flres on the shore. The Lyle gun was immedi ately placed in position and' a line fired across the steam barge amidships, but it appears the men on board could not venture aft to make use of it, as the waves were sweeping over the vessel. So the keeper concluded to resort to the lifeboat. It was 2 o’clock in the morning when the launch waa made. There were two reefs to cross and the surf was terrible. By the time the first reef had been crossed the boat had shipped three seas, the rudder had been nearly displaced and return to the shore for repairs was unavoidable. Another line was fired over the wreck, but the Bailors were unable to get it. So the lifeboat was again launched. This time the pull was long, hard and desperate. Several seas were shipped, but the reefs were finally cleared and the craft came alongside the wreck. The lifeboat was a weird spectacle. The seas had frozen on her so that she seemed a shell of ice. So heavy was she with ice that the keeper concluded it prudent to BATTLING WITH THE ICE. take but nine men. These were safely landed, and immediately anotln-r journey was made. Again and again the boat was flooded and driven astern. On the second reef she was nearly thrown end over end. The rudder was so nearly destroyed that she had to be managed almost entirely by the oai-s. Her valiant crew were in cessantly drenched witli icy water, which froze upon their clothing as fast as it struck and thick ened the m:!:l with whivh they were sheathed. But the men were indomitable, and shortly after sunrise they had brought the last man ashore. The life savers returned home that morning, leaving behind them a remembrance of their powers and achievement. To have come rushing behind their locomotive through the night and tempest so many snowy leagues to the rescue of a group of despairing sailors, and then, with hearts greater than danger, to have gone out again and again through the dreadful breakers and brought every "man ashore, was a feat so ad venturous and picturesque that it roused the peo ple of the whole lake region to intense enthusi asm. On another occasion :v life saving crew stationed in Michigan traveled some seventy miles, a part of the way by tug, a part by special train, and tbe remain der by the hardest kind of rowing through a stream that was filled with ice, and arrived at the scene of disaster in time to rescue a dozen freezing mar iners. Once it seemed impossible for a keeper to get his lifeboat and crew to the neighborhood of a wreck. On ac count of wind and current be could not launch into the open sea, and the road along the beach was so burdened with ice, driftwood and mountains of snow that it was impossible to use the wagon. But the keeper found a way out of the difficulty. The lifeboat was launched in shoal water*- -just outside the coast of ice, and with the aid of a team of strong horses, and by dint of pulling and push ing by the indomitable crew, wading in water and slush, the scene of the wreck was reached at hist and a number of lives rescued. One terrible morning, ten years ago last month, the citizens of tbe village of Frankfort. Mich., saw a little way ont in the wild lake a spectacle which struck terror to their hearts. A schooner had been driven ashore by tbe gale, had beaten to pieces in the breakers and sunk. One of ber masts had fallen, the other protruded above tbe lake.. Ten feet above the water, clinging to the ratlines, was the captain. Fifty feet up, in the crosstrees, were the crew of six men, and iu his lap one of them held the head of a dying woman. The foremast swayed and creaked ominously, and seemed likely to go over at any mo ment. The woman was delirious, and her shrieks and laughter rang out above the gale. The nearest life saving station was ten miles away. A gallant young man rode his horse to it as if his own life de pended npon it. Then began a struggle against odds and time on the return ! journey—a heavy cart loaded with the I Lyle gun and beach apparatus, and a | sandy, hilly, snowy road through a for- j est. Let the lamented Capt. O'Connor j tell a part of the story: j Meanwhile a crowd had assembled on the coast j hills near the wreck. A fire had been built and, < to cheer the mariners and to prevent their yield ing to despair, the men laid pieces of driftwood . so as to for.n iu huge, rude letters, black against the while background of the bluff, the words | “lifeboat coming.’’ Eager signals from the sailors j announced that they could read this gigantic telegram. To return to the rescuers and their journey. The only available route was an old Mv in an instant In an incredibly short tims n way through the wood was cleared, and the mortar cart was dragged down to the beach. The journey of ten miles or more had been made in two hours. What followed can be quickly told. All afternoon the crew and their volun teer assistants worked. A line was finally shot across the wreck and secured by the sailors. Trip after trip was made by the life car, and man after man brought ashore. At each trip the crowd expected to see the woman’s form lifted out of the car. But it did not appear, and as sailor after sailor came ashore they replied in response to inquiries that the woman would be brought on the next trip. Just at dark the last two men came ashore, but the woman was not with them. The crowd set up a murmur. It was angry that the woman should be thus left tb perish. Under other circumstances it might have mobbed the men who had deserted her. These two sailors who came last from the wreck declared the woman was dead. Their comrades who bad earlier reached the shore corroborated their statement. Seventeen days after ward the woman’s body was recovered- In all probability she was alive when left there, fifty feet above the water, uncon scious in the crosstrees. Many of the life savers lose their own lives in attempting to rescue others Many times a year duty calls the brave men to take their lives in their bands. Ten or eleven years ago a sloop stranded on the shores of Cape Cod. Capt. David Atkins and his crew went to tbe rescue in the surf boat, and succeeded in taking off several of the sailors. On the next trip the lifeboat was alongside the sloop, when the boom of the latter craft, which was dipping in and out of the sea as the breakers rolled her from side tu side, caught the captain's boat an-.! turned it bottom side up. Keeper At kins and two of bis men were drowned. Some time before this Capt. Atkins had made an effort to rescue the sailors on board a stranded ship, but finally abandoned the attempt on account of the wildness of the sea. Then a volun teer squad of sailors and fishermen manned a yawl and went out and brought all the sailors ashore. Keeper Children always LIFE SAVERS LOSE TIIEIR LIVES.

But here an un expected and apparently imsunnounfcable ob stacle was encountered. Between the hilltop and the beach was a belt of woods as yet unpierced by mad or vehicle, and in which lay fallen trees half buried in brush and undergrowth. The obstacle seemed to in spire all present with a sudden electric energy, and gave occasion for a striking and admirable scene. In an instant, and as if by simultaneous impulse, all hands, citizens and crew, flung them selves upon the wood with axes and handspikes and a work began which resembled a combat. Tbe wood seemed tumbling asunder, and its rap idly opening depths were alive with rude figures in every variety of actioo. In some places mes were showering blows with oxes upon standing timber. In others they were prying and lifting aside great fallen trees with all their branches, shouting in chorus. Groups here and there with frantic activity were uprooting and rending away rri"i of brush and undergrowth. Sometimes ten men would fling themselves in mass upon a young tree or sapling, pull It down and tear it In a recent conversation Green B. Morris, the veteran turfman, remarked that tbe ac tual cost of keeping a stable of race horses is about $700 per year for each animal, but that does not include entrance fees, forfeit, jockeys’ pay, etc. He had in 1800 ten horses in training, and says that tin* entire ex penses of his stable reached $20,000. Bookmakers and speculators in London are also under the ban of the authorities, according to a cable. Just prior to the running of the race fortbe Cambridgeshire stakes at the Newmarket-IIoughton meet ing the police raided the betting clubs in London. Three hundred persons, includ ing a number of prominent citizens, were arrested.

But, dear me.' when womc-u cease to be women the millennium will be right upon us and no one prepared for it. The tailor made gowns are more fash ionable than ever, even quite young chil dren wearing them; that is, girls of 13 and 14. They are made of homespun in pepper-and-salt mixture with flecked and snowflake surface. There is an other fabric much liked for children and young ladies called Herrison broche, which is really a brocaded stripe. Chev iots are worn in every conceivable vari ety, the shepherd and fine checks being favorites for tbe young. Tweeds are tbe favorite materials for tbe tailor made suits in different weights. But the clan plaids are more liked than any of the above named goods for general wear. There is one rough material known as drap St. Petersburg, coarse and harsh but warm and thick, and in several de signs, mostly large, indefinite coarse de signs, with one spot in each plaid that looks as if darned in contrasting colors. This makes undeniably stylish costumes, and requires next to no trimming. Mourning goods vary little, the silk warp Henrietta being de riguenr for first mourning, with crape bands. A widow's gown is made princesse, buttoning np the whole front, with bands down the front and around tbe bottom of tbe skirt, which is made to train slightly in tbe back. The sleeves are covered with crape. The bonnet Inis a Mary Stuart point in front. There is a new silk nun's veiling which hangs in exquisite folds, and is light and devoid of that unpleasant crape smell. A dress for a young lady in mourning for a parent has a waist trimmed quite plainly, and with crape sleeves. The skirt has apron drapery, with three plain, horizontal bands across the bot- A YOUNG gentleman, under 50, considered handsome, well connected and in good stand ing. would lit ea lady correspondent, [ Oh,e-bing some means.
