AN ANCIENT MEXICAN CITY. A Curious Legend-Relics of the Emperor MaiimUian. Qneretaro was u town before the Spanish oouquuRt, and was made a city in 1655. A legend of Qneretaro is that an Otomite chief, Fernando do Tapia by name, undertook to con¬ vert the city to Christianity in « way that seems novel to us, but w as corn- mon enough to his day. Jlo came from Tula with a challenge to the peo¬ ple of Qneretaro to a fair stand up tight. If ho won the people surviving were to he baptized. The challenge was accepted, but, while the fight was in progress, a dark cloud camo up, atul the Blessed Santiago was seen in the heavens with a fiory cross, where¬ upon the people of Queretaro gave up and were baptized. They set up 11 stone cross to commemorate the event on the site of the present Church of Santa Cruz. There is scarcely a church in Mexico which has not a legend of this kind attached to it. The town is identified with the history of Mexieo. Here the treaty of peaco between the ('tilted Htule* and Mexico was rati¬ fied in lhtH, and here Maximilian made hi* last stand in 1K67, «m obliged to surrender and was shot, Everybody is interested in Maximilian mainly on aeeonnt of poor Cnrlotta, wholly the way, lias just obtained permission to revisit Mexico. Maximilian was exe- euted on the (%-rro do la* Cauipana*, and with him General* Miramin and Media. The place is marked by three little crosses of stone. Tire two gen¬ erals were killed at the first volley, but Maximilian, who had requested that lie be shut through the body that his mother might look upon his face, was only wounded, and a second fir¬ ing was required to kill him, The emperor had been led to believe that Cnrlotta w as dead. She became insane from grief nnd was kept in an asylum for many years, but she still lives, and atill mourns for her dead husband and the loss of her throne. The United Stains government protested against the execution of Maximilian, but in vain, , J iimi r/. refusing to spare him. There are all hinds of relies of Maxi¬ milian in Mexico. The Yturbicle thea¬ ter, where he was tried and condemn¬ ed, tbo table on which tbe death war rant was signed, the wooden stools on which the prisoners sat during the trial and the codin of Maximilian, whose remains were subsequently sent to Austria am] buried at Miramar. I confess 1 do not share in any •enti- ment of pity for Maximilian, who was an adventurer without a shadow of rigid in Mexico and took the chances of war. Ho was, ii is into, a victim of Napoleon and of his own ambition and whs very scurvily treated by those who had induced him to set up his throne; but to have released him would have been to establish a claim¬ ant for tlio Mexican throne, 11 W an better that this man should die than that thousands should be sacrificed in the wars he would surely have fomented if he had been allowed to live.

At seven he could sit an In church, perfectly (pilot, look¬ ing neither to the right hand nor the left, but straight tuto the eyes of the minister, as though he understood the whole dis¬ cussion about the eternal decrees. He never upset things nor lost them. Ho floated into the king .tom of Tod so gradually that it is uncertain just when the matter Was decided.

O thou who didst help Simon and Andrew to flsh, show us hoiv to east the net on the right side of the ship! Some of you incoming to God will have to run against skeptical notions. It is use¬ less for people to say sharp and cutting things to those who reject the Christian re¬ ligion. 1 cannot say sueli things, lly what process of temptation or trial or betrayal you have eometo your present state l know not.

Further discoveries have been made o! the wonderful ice caverns opened up at the foot of Cow Mountain, about two miles from Giilett. Col. Three remarkable cham¬ bers have been opened. The first is about fourteen by sixteen feet, heavily hung with icicles in every conceivable form, resemb¬ ling stalactites. From the first chamber a small passage leads to still another more wonderful and beautiful in which the ice blends in varied colors, under the light of n candle, reflecting the rays as from the face of a thousand mirrors. From this cave a passage scarcely largo enough to admit the down* body of a man was discovered leading at au angle of about forty degrees to a large cavern per¬ haps 200 by 000 feet. Clinging to the ceil¬ ing are great masses of Ice like billows,and banked along tho sides of the walls many feet in thickness are tons of ice taking oil the most grotesque forms imaginable and casting awesome shadows. In the center of the room there is a lake about forty by sixty-five feet, clear as cry¬ stal and quite deep. There must be some outlet, for water drips constantly from tlie ceiiiug, yet the level of the body is' never rises nor overflows. The water sweet and pure, and as cold as the ice-coated walls of the room in which It is situated, 200 feet underneath the surface of the ground. There are undoubtedly other caves which have not yet been opened. 1200 CHEROKEES TO MARCH. They WiU Invade Kentucky to Do Honor to One of Their Ancient Chiefs. F.arly iu September 1200 Cherokee braves will take the road in the Indian Territory, and will march into Kentucky, accompanied by Captain Raleigh of the’ United States Army.

The duelling pistol now occupies its proper place, in the museum of the collector of relics of barbarism. The pistol ought to have beside it the pestle that turned out pills like bullets, to be shot like bullets at the target of the liver. But the pestle is still in evidence, and will be, probably, until everybody has tested the virtue of Ayer’s sugar coated pills. They treat the liver as a friend, not as an enemy. Instead of driving it, they coax it. They are compounded on the theory that the liver does its work thoroughly and faithfully under obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions are removed, the liver will do its daily duty. When your liver wants help, get "the pill that will," Ayer’s Cathartic Pills. PISO v S CURT FOR in time. Sold Use bv dritPiTiRt-a CONSUMPTION I? 5 70317.5 Treacherous Chemicals.
