“THE PALACE One cf the Most Interesting Buildings in Mexico. rile Official Home of Mexico’s Presi¬ dent and Senati—As'ec Senuias. The Palace is 011 c of (he mast inter cstingbuildings iti Mexico, because of its dimensions, the curiosities it contains, its history, and the knowledge wc have of ths schemes of tyranny and blood - shed devised within its walls. Each of its six patios is entered through ponder ous outer doors, that might bo relied upon to resist the blows of a catapult, and these courts are sum unded by walls of enormous thickness. The building , • ., - , 7 . occupies the exact limits OI jviontezuma N 1 palace, , and A contains tao emeutt • 1 apart on ., r f_ meuts of the President and of the Senate, the world-famed Ambassador’s hall, the offices of the government, the post-office, museum, and a military barracks. Presi dent Diaz has leased a residence near to the western side of the Flazu, and his private dwelling, on Humbolt street, is now the residence of the American Mia istcr, General Henry 11. Jackson, The starry banner of the American legation fioats in the soft breezes above the high wails and shady gardens of the private dwelling of the President of the Repub¬ lic of Mexico. After a call upon the Premier, Senor Rubio, and an audience with the Presi¬ dent, a Gsit.to the Hall of the Ambassa¬ dors, and a glance at the well-arranged general post office, you are close by the ertranC- of the patio of the Museum. This court is well shaded, and to tho left of the entrance you are permitted to enter a small apartment, in which is ex¬ hibited the State carriage of the Empire, the gift of Napoleon III to Curlotta, and said to be handsomer than the imperial coach of Russia. Opposite the street entrance to this patio is the door of the Aztec hall; en¬ tering ttiis long, narrow chamber, but recently appropriated to its present uses, I found a few workmen erecting pedes¬ tals for the gods, and the sacrificial and calendar stones (removed thither from the Cathedral walls and the patio in¬ closure), and the gods themselves lying around in the most undignified postures. The idols exhibited at New Orleans were arriving, and lay scattered about the completed pedestal of the “Divinity of Death,” or, as Bandalier insists, the Hutziiopotchtli (war god) of Teno ehtitlan. A few feet distant, and di rcctly in front of this bloody idol, is --pls-ed “Sacrificial stone, on which sixty thousand hearts were cut out to his honor. The extraordinary carvings on top and sides of this stone of sacrifice attract un¬ limited attention until the bowl in the center recalls its bloody uses. Into it the heart’s blood of the victim ran, and thence along the trench to tho side where it was often drank by the sinister priests, with their “matted black locks flowing down their backs;” and then, horror of horrors! to remember that the body of the victim was served by his captor in a banquet to friends, with the most deli¬ cate of wines and toothsome of viands. Ascending a flight of stone steps, close to the fountain that throws the spray of its cooling waters amid tropical plants, the museum proper was reached. The first impression was a disagreeable one; it was made by an intentional display of very bad taste by the commissioners in trusting the painting of “Maximilian and his General’s,” into an obscure niche, and denying it even a frame. Entering the first room you see relics of Hidalgo v Costilla, the stand¬ ard of the conquest, and a noble cast of the face of Juarez. In the second we halted at the long table and the cases containing tho one hundred and seventy six pieces comprising the “silver plate of Maximilian.” The remaining rooms contain the glassware of Iturbide, Aztec weapons, musical instruments, mirrors, domestic utensils, shield of Montezuma II., por¬ traits of the Viceroys, picture writings of the Aztecs, their pottery and feather work, together with the skeletons, min eri is, birds, insects, reptiles, fauna and fla a of the country. Playing “Mamma.* Little Florence was G years old, and j her brother Willie two years younger. One evening their mamma wished them to go to bed, and knowing the little girl’s fondness for playing mamma, she said: . “Come children, I haven’t had j : now, time yet to look over the morning paper. You run right up to bed now and let ■ mamma read. Florence you can play mamma and put your little brother to j bed, you know.” down “All and wight,” taking said Florence, in imitation sitting j up a paper j of her mamma: “wun wigbt up to bed, Willie, I want to wead the morning paper .—Chicajo Neirs.
