City of Mkxico, February 14???Tbe
government runs a lottery, and as it iavery
different 10 bear of anyone who has ever
drawn a pfiza of any const quence the
presumpiiou is that an immense turn is cm
Dually made out of it by some one. I,oto,
similar to keno, is a licensed game, tbe au
thorities receiving two and one hrlf percent
of the stakes for their share.
There is a regular license for tbe "nymphs
du pave,??? and physicians certificate issued
weekly. In fact, theg.ivernments of tho re
public. tbe states, or the cities get a revenue
out of nearly everything, except land. The
land not beingtaxea admits of tbe possession
of immense tracts by individuals, thus pre
venting iuimiprstiun.
While begging ia prohibited here, it is doDe
ail the same, ami ???for the love of God???,
Spanish, is tbe plaint, to which I noticed
Vesf ear was almost invariably turned.
The "Monte de I???tedad??? or government
lea bank notes. Money is loaned at
very reasonable rates on every species of
property and everything in conducted aquar-
ly. Such an ins'iiuiion would he a benedt
in our own country where when one is"hard
up" he has a dilll ult time raising the wind
on any of Ills ntovaoles except his watch or
diamonds, upon which a vrry limited sum nt
outrageous tales of interest, can be had.
After a certain time, the articles in pawn are
marked with their selling value, when n cer
tain additional time ellipses without a aalo, a
second aud lower value is affixed and so on
until a fourth amt the laweat vuiue is placed
on goods. If not sold theu an auction sale is
Blade.
Bonqets are considerably worn now in this
city, but tbe Spanish lace mantle or veil
thrown over the back of the head and falling
on the sbouldera ia always worn in attending
church and very often in walking as well as
in carriage riding, end is stilt tbe national
head gear of the Mexican lady.
There are more miles of a'reet railroad in
tills city than any where in the world, in pro
portion to population. All tbe lines start
from or near the Z tctlo aud usually go out
one street and baca another to the atarting
point. It ia next lo impossible to get lost, as
all the ways are at right angles, though each
block ia a street aud Issepurately named One
coi.duciur on the street cars sells you a ticket
torn Irom a ho tk, nnd another conductor
takes it up. II the two should go in together
the road tntglit loose more mouey tlt.n by
trusting one. Tbe motive power is the Mx-
lean mute, which mule can ouipnll a steam
engine of small capacity. Tne lowest (are on
any first class car is one media or six and a
quar-er cenis These cart seem to run in con
voys; oue first-class and two second class cars
starling outat the same time
The I???aseo would he rather too short lor a
drive in the slates, but here it does very well,
as lost driving is not allowed on it; aud tho
close carriages with glass windows, of tbe
wealthy esu pass and repass olten. It is a
lovely street, wide aud heavily shaded with
cauculyptus trees. Water from the large
aciquias (or ditches) on each side of it is free
ly sprinkled about three o???clock and by four
and a half Mexico???s capital ccmmenccs to
gather there. A family serms to be rated in
importance here, by the elegance of Its eaui-
psgss and the numbers ofiui servants. Few
ol our open top latnlaus are in use. The
preference for glass front carriages astonishes
me, as there are some very pretty ladies to be
seen. Mexicans are not walkers as is shown
by the small leet of the more wealthy, which
in the very high heeled and sharp pointed
shoesamuunt ulmost tow deformity. Some
of the ladiee can scarcely move along in these
shoes, and'rrsemble in tUoir gait n person
who was born with a limit It is fashionable,
however, and all right. The dresses are very
scant in the stir s and this with the little
eboes ruins tbe walk of these naturally grace
ful ladies. The tin re elegant and wfalthy fum-
alies scarcely ever walk. A.carriuge, in tne
court, and some.ituee more was seen through
tbe grated doors of nearly every wealthy
family.
The Mexican houses with their large courls
and rooms opening inside on it, resemble tho
interior ot the oln Kimball bouse arcade with
no roof above and tne arcade extending to
top to that tbe sky could oe seen. Flowers
and rare plants fill tlie-e courls, except under
the inside balconies and g vo a beautiful air
to all wiihin. In poorer bouses these courts
are only paved lluors, very often It thy and
sloppy. Our frout yards aod front sloops and
S istxaa are unknown here. All houses are
ualt with tho walk.
Children are taught lo ride early, as the
sight of a wealthy man???s son, apparently
aoput three years of one dreu-d in leather
punts and velveteen jacket with wide brim
sued hat, on a little ponv, and a Mock or two
further on a ragged urchin of tbe same age
monuted on an old rain sheep, with rope
bridle, provt d to nte. Tbe Mexican saddle
with nigh pommel and back richly ho tsed
with sliver trimmings and fine six shooter
and holster sre daily sights.
Too lunch pistol and knife in this country,
ft seems to me; and especially so in this city
which is one of, if not the best policed cities
in tbe world. To-day at an inspection of tbe
of police, number 11)80 on the cap of
one of the members showed a large force. The
nfghtequad, of mounted police, with their
overcoat aud hood (peaked like a monks
cowl) as they ride silently by makes me shud
der, from their resemblance to the stories of
the haunted horseman read in boyhood days,
yet convey a sense of security.
trn that you can buy it lower. Under no
circumstances should a foreigner strive a

D"d a Mexican Jail Is said to be the most hor
rible prisoo in the world. American paper
money can beebangtd here at ahunt 15 per
cent premium (above Mexican money, while
American gold exchanged on New York fs
rated here about one cent higher than green
bucks.
A good way to learn Spanish is to get..
Spanish-Kugiith twork, then find some small
Shop where you can buy oigars or other ar
ticles cheap, and sltow the shopkeeper your
book. He will very probably be anxious to
learn Eugliah and each day you can spend an
hour or two with him learning the Mexican
accent and teaching him that of the English.
It is almost impossible to get board in a
Mexican family, or that would be the best
plan,
DUSHKS.
Smallpox ia a fashionable disease, it seems
as many of tbe more elegant ladies are badly
pitted. Really these people seem to pay no
attention to it. No one, except a foreigner
movcaon account of the disease; and patients
remain at home unmolested. In no city of
my acquaintance docs a had cold take a
stronger grip on one than here. I caught cold
kt Fort Stockton, Texes, and my ambulance
and railroad trip from ElPaso to this city did
not improve it. Sioce earning here my
throat is badly affected and a trip to the
lower lands is recommended. The altitude
(7,800 feet above sea level) and the dampness
of this city render it a terrible piece for thote
effected with lttngor throat troubles. Ameri
can tourists who come here should if they
catch culd, at dnee seek the seaside of Mexico
and not return to the city until fully re
covered.
An American circns ia run here for five
months in the year. The bnliding is of corru
gated iron erected on one of the public
grounds and licensed. It is quite thebhing to
visit it. I saw tbe American ntinis er, the
Spanish minister and a French count and
their fantiliee acigut or two ago. A printed
programme was furnished and the show was
good one.
Colonel Lewis, agent in Mexico for the New
Orleans World's fair,to be held at New Orleans
next winter, told me that General Diaz would
be commissioner general nod that tho exhibit
from Mexica would be a. grand one, tint the
president was anxiuus to have ltis country's
great wealth in minerals, fruits and agricul
tural products shown to the world. Colonel
A. C. Kirby, who is largely interested In the
bui'ding ol tbe Chalnir.tte house in New
Orleans is here on a visit for pleasure and
let these people know that they can be w
taken care of. Tne ??? Two Republics,??? a daily
American paper, ia doing all it can to aid "
exposition. Its editor said he wanted
make his paper as nect stary to Mexico as Tux
t oasTiTCTiots was to Atlanta. The Mexicana
are becoming much more interested in the
English language and in American affairs
tbe nearer the Central railroad is to comple
tion.
The Moxican's bouso is built for himself
and everything is enclosed within four walls.
In old times this was a necessity, and as
many other traits this nation sticks to old
customs. Americans need not flatter them-
selves that they can Americanize Mexico.
The Americans here are more Mexicsnlzad
a few months than a Mexican would
Americanized in the states in years. Tbe
early cup of coffee and loaf of bread, the
breakfast at noon and dinner at six, with a
late supper, and the flashy riding an te and
hats of the Mexicans soon capture the
foreigner. The Spanish thought they had
captured the native Mexican or Ax ec Indian.
Not so To-day, the Mexican-lndian race
rules Mexico, either pure and unadulterated
or in a bli-n-ied form. In numbers the
Indian or. native Mexican quadruples the
Spanish descendants. Many Mexicans,
???specially females are as fair skinned as can
be, with blue eyes and light hair, and when
ever I see one, I think of the Mexican war
and the American invaders. "Quten sabe?'

The regular Mexican bat is made of felt,
usually colored grey and with from two to
five coils of rope around ir, or a peculiar braid
common to this country. Silver braid or gold
isadtened on the brim on lop aud beneath
until it weighs so h-avily as to five me a
headache. The more gold and silver braid
the more costly and tony the hat. This ia a
riding hat for the better classes who wear
derbvs and plug bats in ibis city. In the
country the Mexican bat ts used by all. The
lower people wear straw bale or a commoner
article of felt hat Every Mexican's ambi
tion is to own a splendid bat and riding salt.
These suite are very costly, sometimes having
doable rows of gilt end often silver buttons
down each leg ef tbe pants, which are either
buckskin or fine cashmere or corduroys. A
Mexican on horseback in hie gaudy rig to a
fine sight, and one that never tires me. The
1 adits very rarely ride horseback.
Standing in a book store a few days ago it
was my pleasure to be asked by a tody, who
had been talkiog at the clerk, if I spoke
Englisljitp in my prompt reply, ??????cetainiy.s*

Judge of lay situation. M* knowledge of any
language except "United States??? to limbed to
tbe names of articles of food. Too gallmt to
refuse a lady, my hand grabbed a dictionary
and my tongue was s'arted. Finally by signs
and the aid of tbe die ioutry we got the book.
A a American friend standing by kept up a
chuckle during the talk, and when tbe lady
left, after my asking to he permitted to call
and a very gracious sfli ma'.ive given, he
turn into laoghter, and said, ???Weil Uonabsr

with shooting and pulsating columns of pink

phenomena are connected with that tremen

sank a range of mountains sixty miles long.
A stranger to this region might easily he per

earth, too, presents a strange appearance.
Between Melbourne anil Sidney one travels
nearly a day amid gum trees, whose trunks,
according to one's mood, may appear silvery
or blanched in death. Many of them are in
deed dead, girdled by the farmers. Tbe bash
has a desolate look. In the gray morning a
large "native bear??? was teen cl.osping a tele
graph pole as our train passed. Knowing tho
passion of bears for honey I believed it was a
cab deluded by tbe hamming noises into the
belie! that a swarm of bees was near. My
theory was soon upset by discovering that the
"native bear??? is no bear at all, but a mar-
???upal (Ksaia); however, it loves fruit and
possibly honey. This animal his only s
rudimentary tali; its thumb aud second fin
ger are opposed tola other fiagers, and the
innermost toe fs opposable like a thumb.

things by Inkppropriate names to inconven

A QUERtt CATERPILLAR.
The queerest thing I have seen out here is
the so called ???bulrush caterpillar??? or ???vege
table caterpillar " (This also to found in Now
Zealand, where tbe natives name it "Aweto
Hotete,"- but l have two specimens found in
Tasmania. The plant is a fungus, aspl fcria,
which grows seven or eight inches above the
ground, generally in a singlestem, round and
curving at tbe end like a serpent Tuis end
is thickly covered with brown aeed for some
three inches. It grows neer the root of n
particular tree, the ???rata." When pulled up
its single root is found to consist of a large
caterpillar three inches long, which, when
dissected is found to be solid wood. Every
detail of this grub is preserved. The sphteria
always grows out of tbe nape of its neck. It
is supiKMed that when this grub (that of a
large moth) burrows in the ground, one of
the seeds gels between the??? scales of the neck,
strikes root and completely tarns the interior
of tho creature into its own substance. Only
tbe shell to left intact, no smallest rootlet ap-
learing anywhere. The aboriginles also eat
his pure white grub, and n friend tells me
that taken raw, it to delicious. The New
Zsalandersalso burn the) caterpillar root and
rub it into their tattoo wounds A good
many white people it is said, believes the
plant act nally develops Jtlio caterpillar tform

In the sad-eyed presence of the speechless

majesty ot nature, a terrfied little human
soul, alone with the eternal grandeur of the
forests, the mountains and the myriad voices
of the night, knelt trembtiDg down and. lift
ing bis little tear-stained face lo the great,
grave, impassable sky, sobbed: 'Oh. take me
home! take me home! Oh, please, Ood, take

sounds far away in the cruel bush, with
set earnings of strange birds, with gloomy
noises, as of the tMtupIings of many cattle,
with movements of leaves and mappings of
brano.es, with unknown whirrings, as of
Wing., with rlfpllugs and patterlngs, as of
waterfalls, with a strange, heavy pulsation in
