THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: TUESDAY FEBRUARY12.1884- TWELVE PACES. IN STRANGE LANDS. P1CTTBEN OE OTHER PEOPLE AND OTHER MEXICO AND MEXICANS. ’ Caitiai »b4 llafclU-l'eaabar’s DpUlosa-Xat galted »• *nrrl«iii-Unr»)i*i, K e. B, A, Bacon, Spttitil Cormpoudcnt of The Con* •tttutlon. 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 ros leving in New York, and vun of dose irummers from de store vent down south, ind staid seex reeks and corned back, eevery- >odv called him colonel; and ven somebody aid how you come to be colonel, be just said ae been down in Georgia lately; and depder .it.. ....1 «hI (tali rlwht* 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 _ G to hoe G. Duffee.
