City or Mexico, January 7, 1884.-Every
one smokes, even the railroad or
street car conductor as he takes your fare puffij
cigarette smoke out as he {replies to your in
quiry of “quants” with "doa centavos” or
“un real”, aa the case is. Butchers use jack
asses, in place of carts, with saddles arranged
with hook to hang their m^ats upon. Hand
carts are unknown, as Mexicans cary all
packages on their backs—this class of porter
is know n as a cargadore und there is a large
society of them, I met one on the street
carrying more than any colored “man in
•‘the states will move with a wheelbarrow. A
few moments after a woman carrying a baby
and feeding it on a raw turnip passed. Mexi
cans are great at shaking hands whenever
they meet or part, no matter how often dur
ing the day that occurs. Ladies meeting
kiss on the cheek in place of the mouth. In fact,
politeness in small matters is carried to, what
in America would be called, an exce99. The
Spanish language teems with polite expres
sions. Thev t-eem to think it degrading to
the better classes, to carry any kind of parcel
on the street, no matter how small.
Government stamps are allixed to almost
every document, including railroad tickets
and bank notes of five dollars or upwards. Tax
ation is very heavy and yet the goverumerit
is poor. The placing of a five million loan of
its bonds in this republic was hailed its won
derful. The exports of gold and silver during
the past year were about ten millions. Of
this our country received not quite two mil
lion. . #
Newspapers publish n list of every one who
edits, reports, or contributes at the head as
editors, and first of all is the name of the res
ponsible editor, who, I guess, does the light
ing. There are half a dozen iSpan ish language
dailies issued and one American, (two repub
lics,) and a 8panish-American weekly, the
American Financier. On arriving at a hotel,
the name of each guest is written, in chalk,
on a large blackboard opposite the number of
his room; which board is nailed to the wall
in the hotel court. No book to register on is
kept and consequently the hotel lounger in
Mexico does not hang over the counter and
keep guests away from the register.
In this country, in the hotels and elsewhere
females are not put on an elevated plane, as
iu the Uuited States, and treated with that
great respect which our people show to every
one that wears a petticoat.
In certain of the hotels in this city there
are electric bells and annunciators. In the
smaller cities you clap your hands loudly to
gether when you wish a servant. Probably
you will be waited on, probably not. I rang
eight titncS one morning, as the towel, which
had been used to dry my feet the proceeding
morning wus the only one in my room. My
desire to dry my face was iinally gratified by
using the sheets of my bed. The beds are not
wider than three quarter size, and generally
are mere cots; In many cases of boards with a
thin mattress laid thereon. In fact, I might
be pardoned iu saying that in this country
hotels are not very inviting. No parlors for
cither luuies or gentlemen; the ofiicea little
cuddy hole to hung your room key up in.
They are merely lodging houses.
At a hotel soup and matches are furnished
by the gue3t. Every one is supposed, to smoke
and soap is uot considered a necessity, is the
probable reason. Toe matches are entirely
of wax, with heads at both ends—an econom
ical idea, purely Mexican. When a cigarette
is lit there is but a small portiouof the match
used; the remainder is put back in thft box.
Many Mcxicnu waiters understand English,
and prelend not to, but if you buy anything
or order a meal at a restaurant und wait and
‘father at the attendants in order to pay for
what you have received without getting at
tended to, just sturt towards the door and
that particular waiter, like one of Koderick
Dhu’s men, will spring up unawares. The
Mexican of the lower class is worse than the
southern negro in his collecting capacities,
and to owe him anytldug is to be subject to
continued dunning. He is very muen like
the negro about wanting pay for his or her
service, and is very exborbitant and often
impudent in the demands in cities. His idea
of a contract is that when itsuits him it isall
right. He will bluster and threaten a foreign
er with police, but in most cases this is all
bluff, ns he shows when you deposit the
amount agreed on in the hands of a hotel
keeper, still it is better to have no words with
him.
HOTEL CHARGES
Inside or court roon a cun be had at from
$1 to $2 per day. and outside rooms for fifty
cents additional. Board can bo secured at
cafes at thirty dollars a month, Considering
the enormous prices paid for provisions, these
are reasonable charges. In Mexico City, rents
aro very high as compared with other portions
of the republic. You must notify the lamb
lord, before three o'clock in the afternoon,
that you will vacate your room, or else be
charged, if you remain half an hour niter
that time for another day, if in Mexico city.
In some towns, seven o’clock in the morning
is the hour. There are no fractional parts of
days charged. At a hotel in the interior we
arrived at 8 o'clock at utght. At 7 o clock
next morning we were charged for one day,
and had we retained our rooms another hour
our bill would have been for two days. Each
guest, should upon arrival read tho rules of
the hotel, and be governed by these, to avoid
expense and trouble. The chocolate and
coilee are very line, but tea drinkers would do
well to bring their tea. Mexican paper
money is discounted at any place *way from
the city of the bank of issuance, as. silver U
the currency of she country. The disconut
on the nickel currency was so great that from
fear of revolts the government has commenc
ed redeeming it in silver, to the extent of one
million. . ...
There are three classes of curiosities to an
American, (outside of the people themselves)
produced in Mexico; the opal, the i ueblo
marnle carvings and the pictures are charm
ing and capture our people at once. Opals
sure produced in gTeat quantities rn l % th«
niosi beautinil kiuds. The Pueblo marble is
beautiful, and buttons, paper weights and
other bric-a-brac from it are charming
tokens. , . „
The words “English spoken here,” sre
generally found on the doors of the German
or French shopkeepers. The face of the
American or Englishman is sufficient sign for
his countryman to know him.
Trunks and satchels command very high
prices here, as all seem to he imported. Mexi
can leather is very inferior, presumable be
cause of their procesaof tanning and the lack
of either hemlock or oak bark; so bring a sup
ply of shoes when you tour it to this county.
An American shirt cost jast twice as much
here as in the states. I could not find a gar
ment of canton ilannel in this city. It would
be well for visitors to supply themselves fully
with wearing apparel of all kinds.
Military titles are of great importance here,
To advise a Georgian to have one, Is to carry
coals to Newcastle as shown me by a little
Frenchman, who keeps an English restaurant
the city. He addressed me as Colonel
Canao&r, one morning. My reply that my
:itle was plain mister astonished him. Look-
ng at me. be said: **A'e you not from Geor
gia?” “Yes!” “Well, hoi/comes it? ven I

in January, raised in the open air. Tropical
fruits of all kinds were exposed. Had it uot
been for the terrible weather which made a
frost here on the 3d of Jnnmiry and ice a
hundred miles north, it would have caused
me to believe it was spring!ime. The desire
for a good tire is great, but it cannot be had,
so my shivering goes on even with on over
coat. The meat is generally poor but the
market is a curiosity. AH the offal is sold by
women and the meat by men. Goats and
rabbits are cleaned but the skins uot taken
off, and thus exposed for sah*. Poultry is
brought to market with feathers on and ;then
picked there. To learn the names and taste
of fruit, you should first get an interpreter,
then prepare yourself with copper coins, ask
the name of each fruit, mark it down, buy
some of the article and taste it. The prickly
ear apple cells well.
m At Guardalupe there were hundreds of
men, women and children M|uatted about in
tho open plaza, the women generally engaged
in cooking tortillas, chili and dried goats
meat in earthen pots, or old waiters, or tin
cans over little fires of corn stalk or maguey
leaves dried. Tho men in sulky indolence
looking on or cleaning the dried meat which
is usually goat meat bought there in great
mats of cactus leaves ami apparently in a
very flllhy condition. One to enjoy h Mexi
can meal should not see it cooked. Many of
the men were engaged in drinking pulkey,
the great cheap drink of this section of Mex
ieo, made from the maguey stalk, the same
ptant whose roots furnish the mezeal. a
stronger drink. Pulkey is recommended for
dyspepsia. It smells and taste too much like
sour buttermilk for my taste. Brights dis
ease, it is prescribed for too, and with benefit
is what is told me.
SIBERIAN HUNTERS.
How Thtjr Trap and Kill Their Uume In That Land
of Snow and Irn
Habits of Siiikrians.—Many of the habits
and customs of these people are very singular.
Along with much rudeness and simplicity,
they have a high degree of ingenuity. At
night, for ins'auce. an Ostalk can tell the
time very accurately by judging the position
of the Great Bear; and as this constellation is
constantly varying with the season, the opera
tion involves on the part Of the Oitalk a cal
culation of some magnitude. In comniou
with all barbarous and semi-barbaric races,
they manifest great dexterity in the use of
weapons. In shooting small animals such as
squirrels, hares, etc., lor thesakeof their furs,
care is taken that the animal shall be struck
on the head only; and in this tho natives sel
dom fail, even though their rilles aro very
clumsy in construction. With the bow and
arrow, whi<*h is the weapon most in me, they
are equally dexterous. Their method of
catching salmon, as described by a Cossack
officer who witnessed it, is peculiar. In
marching through tho country nt the head of
a detachment, he encamped ono evening on
the banks of a river; end on the
following iuorniug lie 6bservcd oue of the
natives walk to a pool near nt hand, Into
which ho waded, und then stood motionless
as asmtue, his spear poised aloft, and his
keen eye fixed on tho water before him. Not
n movement indicated that life inhabited the
figure, until, with lightning rapidity the spear
was launched forward and m quickly with
drawn, a fine salmon quivering on its barbed
point. Three times in twenty minutes was #
the operation performed, and each time a fish
rewarded the native's skill. And yet their
cleverness is but slightly applied to the arts
of life. The Tungooses, for instance, use
bear and reindeer skins to form their beds;
but as they have never discovered ihe art ol
tanning, these articles when not in use are
buried beneath the snow, by which means the
hair is prevented from falling off. This same
tribe, too, are remarkably impovident; the>
will consume nearly a week’s provisions in
one n gbt, and go hungry the remaining six
days. Over nguinst. this, however, must be
placed their detestation of rohr>ery, which is
regarded by them aa an unpardonable sin.
JUNK LIFn IN JAPAN.
A Vested ol tho Ks*trrn World sod How tho Folks
Lire There.
A Japakksb Jumc-I.tvit.—“One of the most
intcrvatiuK features ot Japanese life to lue,”
says a recent traveler, “was the manner of
living in the boats and junks, thousands of
which frequent every buy along tire coast.
The junks always belong to the members of
oue lninily, and usually every branch of the
family, old and young, livo on hoard. The
smaller, sailboats are made like a narrow lint-
boat, and the sail—they never have but one
—is placed very near tho stern, and extends
from Ihe mast about ihe same distance in
either direction—1. e., tee mast runs up the
middle of the sail when it isspread. Iu these
little boals men are hern and die, without
ever having an abiding place on shore.
Women uud all wear little clothing, except
In rainy weather, when they put on lavers of
fringy straw mats, which glvo them the am
E earance of being thatched. At night, it in
arbor, they bend poles over tho boat from
side to side in the shape of a bow, and cover
them with this straw water tight fringe, uu<J
go to sleep all together like a iot
pigs. A child three years old can
swim like a fish, and often children who will
not learn of their own record are repeatedly
thrown overboard un til they become expert
swimmers. In the harbors children seem to
do perpetually tuoibling overboard; but tho
mothers dcliberaiely pick them out o| the
water, aud, culilog them a little, go ou with
their work It is really astonishing at what
age these hoys aud girls learu to scull about.
1 have seen a bout twenty feet long moat
adroitly managed by three children, all
under seven years of age 1 am told that
notwithstanding thesr aptness at swimming,
many boatmen get drowned, for no boat ever
goes to another's aid, nor will any boatman
sure another from drowning, because, a* he
says, it is all fate, and he who interferes with
fate will he severely punished in some way.
Besides this the saving of a boatman's life
keeps a chafing soul only so much longer in
purgatory, when it ought to be released by
the death of the sailor, whom the gods, by
fate, seem to have selected for the purpose.”
THE HOME OF THE “JERSEYS."
•liar said oh! eet is alt right. 1
The market o! Mexico City.sa a curiosity to
Lmerican visitors for surpatwa the French
narket in New Orleans. Most of the articles
resold by women. As fine radishes, toma-
oea, cauliflowers, onions, potatoes, ist-nce,
amps,and in fact every vegetable of car c ime
ad watermeloms were here in vast profusion
Correspondence Times Democrat.
For the past two months I have been daily
among the farmers of tho isle of Jersey where
the world famed Jersey cows are bred, and
hail every opportunity to note them at home,
their manners, customs ami mode of life, and
to one coming, like myself, from a nowcoun-
try, everything is very strsnge. At one honae
wnere I purchased two beautiful little Jer
seys, the present owner of the fourteenth
Nicholas Leliss who, in regular decent, lias
occupied this house. At another, for 150
years the De Jersey family have had nootner
A quaint and pretty custom still exists.
Over the stone archway, or over the main
door, is a large stone with characters cut
something like this: D K. DeG. (Thentwo
hearts), F. M. I.eii., 1072. Translated, this
means that in the year 1672 Bavid F. Be-
Grutby whs united to 1- ranees Marie LeBrocq
and here began ibeir wedilevl life. Simple,
but tender, isn’t it.
A DXXS* TOPL'LATIOX.
In a purely economic view, I^loubt if there
b- anv land in Christendom that supi»orta,and
so well supports, so large a population to the
area w Jersey. With an area of about 40,000
acres she carries a population of about 00,000
souls—about one and a half to the acre, and
this is tue more aurprwing when the fact Is
remembered that they are a purely agri
cultural people. They have no foreign trade,
no mills, no factories Tneir sole income is
from tne cultivation of the land and the rear
ing of Jerser cattle. In no part of the vlobe
oa£ a comparison be found. Think of 3M00
f irniers sustaining Ciemaelvea and supporting
a i equal number of traders and town people
in the city—non-producers. And yet in no
«,untry that I have been do the agricultural
claves live as comfortably ns the Jersey
farmers. Tbeir lands are wonderfully; ricn
and methodically and intelligently cultivated.
The main reliance is the racing of early pota
toes tor the English market and breeding cat-
tie.
Last year over $1,500,000 worth of potatoes
were shipped from Bt. HilieYs. On one day
seven steamers left, all full. Planted in Jan
uary, they market in May and June, in time
to get acrop of roots for their winter feed for
cattle. Some wheat, barley and oats are
raised, as much for the straw as for the grain.
Of cattle,
THB FAMED JEWRY,
there are about U,UH) ou the island. Of course
there are no other breeds. Every farmer is a
breeder, a man’s herd being abont one to (lie
ucre In 1883 about 1,70* head were exported
to the United States taking about 800, while
England continues tbeir largest customer.
But gradually other countries are discovering
the merits of this wonderful breed. Since my
arrival in November some have been shipped
to India by the way of the Suez canal. As an
item for the curious, I will adil that the
freight from England was £-10 each (about
$200).
Shipments have been made to Africa l
Egypt, Austrflin, Spain and Riusfa, the late
emperor being quite a Jersey fancier. Indeed,
in England, as in America, to possess a Jersey
is a badge of respectability and intelligence.
There is hardly a gentleman or nobleman in
ail England but bousts tbe possession of one
or mere of the soft-eyed little cows.
Crossing tbe channel, not long since, I nad
for a fellow traveler E. Parsons Fowler, the
veteran exporter of Jerseys. Speaking of his
long experience in this business, ho showed
n>«» a letter written in 1812, containing an
order for two cows, in which, the writer, after
detailing all he wished to find in them, in the
way cf good dairy cows, added, “that since he
had become familiar with the many and treat
excellences of the Channel island cattle ho
would have no other.” The special interest
to me in this letter was its signature. With
the stately formality of an old Englisli gentle
man, it ended thus: “1 remain, my dear sir,
your humble and obedient servant, Welling
ton.”
The man who destroyed tho grandest mili
tary genius the world ever saw, “took Jersey
cream in his coffe#l”
Coming to s'udy their cattle, I have visited
% HVNimXlX OK HERDS
and seem thousands of animals, and tbe re
suit of all is that I urn more and more a Jer
sey man. And the well established fact that
these island cattle wonderfully adapt them
selves to our climate, makes me hopeful that
the day is not far distant when the grand
dairy possibilities of our section shall be made
apparent; that it will not bo necessary to
place upon the breakfast table in New Orleans
butter made in New York, or Michigan, or
coffee made palatable with ruilk drawn from
a cow in Illinois.
One matter I should mention—tbe courtesy
of all classes to a stranger among them. Es
pecially will I. mention C.iptain Philip Le-
Brof q. of Broughton lodge, whose hospitality
to Americans is recognized by aii, and who is
never so happy as when showingsome Amer
ican all that is to be seen. His own herd,
with welcome at its head, is well worth visit-
iug. Indeed, I saw no bull its equal, aud I
take out with me some of his get tor my own
