A MEXICAN MEAL. gatables and Drinkables at a VVayslde Inn. gread Like Cannon Balls, and Nativa fruits Washed Down with ‘'Pulque.” \t an Indian village of unpronounce able name, says a letter from Mexico to thl , Philadelphia Beeord, we stopped for luncheon, in its only public resting-place a typical fondita, which is Spanish for “little restaurant.” The earth floor of t hi, wayside inn was neatly swept, and i W whitewashed inner walls hung with pictured saints wreathed with gaudy pa * r roses. Rickety-legged benches were ranged (immovably) around the ta ble; and the only two chairs the estab lishment afforded—which were kept as articles of rertu, of little actual use to their owners- -were brought for the ac commodation of lot Americanat, who were suspected of not wishing to con form to the rural custom of squatting up on a petite (straw mat) spread on the floor. The windows, of course, were guiltless of glass, and had the usual iron bars before them, but I observed that the rude barn-door-like shutters were of solid mahogany—a woo 1, by the way, which is cheaper in many parts of Mexico (oe cause less rare) than common pine. The great oaken door, with its enormous hinges and lock like the breastplate of a mediaeval warrior, was quaintly carved— probably not less than a century ago by some long-forgotten artist. There are manv things in this wonderful country which are calculated to arouse the spirit of highway robbery in the breast of the most honorable tourist. I longed to tear that door from its hinges and run off with it or to seize from the shoulders of the master of the mansion his zarape—a na tive blanket of softly-blended oriental hues, with the national escutcheon in the centre (a big eagle perched upon a cactus bush, with a serpent in his beak) —which would make a most ravishing portiere. Our refreshments were speedily served upon a well-scoured table to which the addition of a cloth would have been an incongruous superfluity, and the menu was as follows: Stewed frejoice (red beans), with our choice as to “season ing”—whether we would pour rancid goat’s milk over them or molasses from the Chinese sugar-cane ;small black loaves of Mexican bread that would have made excellent cannon bails, of course without butter, which docs not “grow’” in this country; watercresses and fresh olive oil, from which we compounded a salad fit for an emperor’s table; wild honey and stewed apricots and a basket of ripe tam arinds, pomegranates, figs and mangoes, arranged in their own green leaves, as the poorest of these people have a taste ful habit of doing. The inevitable pulque w’as at hand in a pig-skin “bot tle” which retains the perfect shape of the animal, minus head aud tail, and gurgled an approving note, alarmingly like life, while its contents were being emptied into our mugs. These so-called “pig-skins” are really the undressed hides of sheep, with the woolly side turned in. Nothing else is considered so good for holding the jxopular beverage, though we are told that a skin of small size costs not less than $2.50, and lasts little more than a month, as the constant fermenta tion going on inside soon eats the wool oj. In this volcanic country the travel ler must eschew water, or suffer serious consequences, and one must drink some thing besides the bitter Mexican coffee; therefore we long ago made up our minds to pulque—the cheap drink of the na tives—and pulque it is, every day of our lives at dinner. Iconfess, how ver, that it required considerable effort to educate ourselves to it, and it was only accom plished by resolutely fixing our thoughts npon that glorious product of the year— the century plant—from whence it came, and by repeatedly assuring one another that the thick, white, nasty liquid re sembles home buttermilk, though we know it to be an outrageom libel on northern dairies. But, even now, Betsy and I sometimes amuse ourselves in leisure moments striving to compute the quantity of sheep’s wool which we must have absorbed in the course of the last two years, since the contents of each •lleged pig-skin contains a good deal of it—“in solution,” so to speak. Immediately following this dainty re past the mistress of the fondita produced her private cigarette holder and tendered us the customary courtesy with the air of a princess, an act of kindly hospitality which we would not for the world have *ounded her feelings by refusing. Changed His Mind. “Don’t you think we had better send dear Clara abroad to complete her musical 1 education?” asked Mrs. Mullethead of Berlord. “And have me go to the poorhouse? Not by any means,” he growled in re ply. An hour later—Clara vainly trying to teach the attic of the scale to piano ac companiment. “I do think dear Clara should be sent abroad to develop her musical talent,” ’entured Mrs. Mnllethead again. “Send her away by all means,” was fee still more ungracious response; “bet *r that I should become a pauper than a lunatic.— Tidßltt.-' Types of the Cowboys. The steadfast, most reliable, and hard est-working cow-boys are those who are bom in the cuttie regions, or the old timers, who have lived there so long that they have forgotten the manners and customs of a better civilization. There are cowboys following the trails who are not yet in their teens, and there are many who are crowding on to seventy. Some of these old boys are as erect in the saddle and throw their lassoes as unerringly as any of the younger ones, but others are ! bent and wrinkled, and should never go on a range. It would kill them to leave the camp, though, and many of these old-timers will die in the saddle. I know boys not yet fifteen, who are ex pert in running a steer on a round-up, or in manipulating stampeded cattle, as any Mexican that ever threw a lasso. The Mexican cowboy, you know, is generally regarded as the master of the horse and lasso, and it is the custom for people to say, “He is as smart with the rope as a Mexican.” Taking it all in all, I think the white cowboy is superior to the Mexican. The white man is cool, patient, and of better judgement. If a Mexican runs a steer for any length of time he gets wild, and soon uses up his horse. He is apt to in jure the cattle in his hot mood. Besides that, the Mexican is superstitious and when his religious fears come upon him the cattle in charge are a secondary consideration. I have known a herd of 3,000 cattle in charge of Mexicans to be stampeded in a thunder-storm because the Mexicans were afraid of the thunder and lightning, and threw themselves from their horses, stripped themselves and lashed their naked bodies with cac tus as a penance for some sin, while the herd rushed wildly away in all direc tions, and hundreds were lost. It is not an uncommon thing for Mexican cow boys to stop on the trail to punish them selves for their sins. Frequently their wild cries cause a disastrous stampede of the cattle in their charge. I have seen these Mexicans walk barefooted for rods over patches of prickly cuctus, while a companion followed them and lashed their naked backs with the same thorny plant.— New York Sun. How Stanton “Tapped” the Tele, graph. Major Johnson, of Washington, who was Secretary Stanton’s confidential clerk, said the other day: “About one of the first acts of great importance which Stanton did was to establish the head quarters of the telegraph of the United States in the War Department. This meant that all the telegraphic communi cations with relation to the war should pass directly into the hands of this amaz ing Secretary At his orders I made a record of every telegram from and to the President, from and to all the Secre taries, from all the generals in the field, to any and everybody. A record was kept of all the dispatches sent by Gencr al-in-chief Halleck, by General Grant, and ail the commanders of the army of the Potomac, and by General Sherman and all the generals of the army of the West. The dispatches of the Secretary of the Navy and all the movements of his gunboats were put on record, and all cipher dispatches received at the War Department deciphered by General Eck ert, and recorded by me. Every wire in the country was tapped and its contents run into the War Department and made a matte: of record if it in any way related to the war or was in cipher. The tele graph operators of the department, un der this censorship, became the most ex pert, probably, in the world, and they now hold high positions in their profes sion. They were Bates, Tinker and Chandler. Some of the dispatches in cipher intercepted were from corps com manders in the field relating to gold speculations in New York.”—Washing ton Slar. Disastrous Somnambulism. A rather amusing incident occurred recently in Hog mountain district. A gentleman who is in the habit of walk ing in his sleep had a dream. He dream ed that he saw a fine covey of partridges running along toward an old house and then go in. Thinking this a good op portunity to capture them, he quietly slipped along until he got to the door, when he suddenly jumped inside and closed the door. What was his astonish ment to discover a mad dog in there, which rushed at him at once. His only chance of escape was to jump through a window, and through he went with a bound. When he awoke he was lying outside the house on the ground, having jumped through a window in Iris bed room and carried the sash with him. He was badly bruised and his leg severely cut by the glass as he broke through.— Gwinnette {Georgia) Herald. Insect Scuse of Smell. In an extensive scries of experiments by Prof. Graber, insects and many othel I invertebrates perceived odors much more quickly and acutely than the vertebrates : tested (birds and reptiles). The anten nae proved to be not the only organs of smell in insects, although these appear tc be essential to the perception of some fine odors. In some cases the palpi of the mouth organs arc more sensitive than the ■ antennae, but perception of smell through tire stigmata or respiratory organs is not I rapid nor important. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. Teach thy tongue to say “I do not know.” A proverb is the wit of one and the wisdom of many. Say no evil of any one but yourself, and do not listen to any. Deceit is the oleomargarine that is mixed with the butter of truth. To have what we want is riches, but | to be able to do without is power. i If you cannot speak well of your neighbors do not speak of them at all. In every ago the vilest specimens of human nature are to be found among demagog es, Prudence is one of the virtues which were called cardinal by the ancient ethical writers. All nations that grew great out of little or nothing did so by the public-minded ness of particular persons. Poetry is the blossom and the fra grance of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotion, lan guage. Adulteration of Candy. The adulteration of candy is chiefly by the use of terra alba, or white clay. This harmful stuff can be detected by dis solving the suspected candy in water, when the clay falls to the bottom undis solved. An ounce roll of cheap lozenges will sometimes contain three-quarters of an ounce of this injurious stuff. The coloring of candies is, for the most part, not dangerous, since a piece of red col oring matter the size of a gum drop will color 5000 pounds of candy. Unscrupu lous manufacturers, however, sometimes use mineral instead of vegetable colors, and, cartloads of such candy have been seized and destroyed by the health offi cers in New York. For the most part carmine and cochi neal are used for red, saffron for yellow, caramel or burnt sugar for brown, and this with carmine for orange. Green and blue candies are to be avoided. These colorings are used sometimes, however, 1 in “decorating—a surface treatment of fine candies by hand, in which a water color artist is employed to do art work at wholesale according to the model set him. As for this purpose the proportion of coloring matter to sugar is about one millionth, the result of swallowing paint is not so disastrous as might be expected. In flavoring, essential oils are used, about a pound to a thousand pounds of sugar, and this is worked in during the boiling or kneading. Liquorice colors and fla vors both at once.— Harper's. Metropolitan Monkeys. The endeavor to make the ehampan zee at the Central PnrV ’Znnin.rtnoi uens, New York, the so much sought for “missing link” is successful to the point of causing the interesting creature to sit at the table and take his meals, eat sweetmeats from a teaspoon, use a knife and fork, and wipe his mouth when • necessary with a napkin. At the latter test of civilization, however, he seems to be especially recalcitrant, discarding the napkin with scorn as soon as the en forced ceremony is accomplished. The daily consumption of cod liver oil is another approach to popular custom which marks the champanzee’s kinship to the human race. A pet monkey, which takes its daily airing in the carriages with its mistress withiu the city suburbs, has created es pecial remark from its becoming toilet, which consists of a scarlet cloak trimmed with dark fur and a little peaked hood, from which peeps his aged but astute face. The passers-by who are regarded with disfavor receive scowls, grimaces and chattering from the monkey, other wise they create no comment on his part. The drive at an end, however, he evinces his dissatisfaction in long cries.— New York Herald. The North Slar Still There. Governor David S. Crandall, formerly editor of the Lockport, (N. Y.) Courier, used to tell a story of the great meteoric shower which fell in Novembey, 1833. He was at that time living upon his farm, a few miles distant from Lockport. Among the men he employed was a chore-boy 12 or 14 years old. On the night referred to Mr. Crandall was en gaged in writing after the rest of his family had gone to bed. Seeing through the window the shower of mereors, he aroused his wife, and then the boy, re questing them to come to the door. The boy was at first absolutely struck dumb with astonishment, thinking that all the stars in the heavens were falling through space. After a little he turned to the North Star and his courage came back. “Gosh?” he exclaimed, “the old dipper hangs on yet, don’t she?” How to Detect Counterfeits. Mr. Tanda of the Coin Department of the Sub-Treasury, New York, says: “Many good coins lack ring, and many bad ones have it—especially gold coins filled with platinum. If a diver coin is of lead its color will betray it; if it is filled a ‘harp eye can always detect the joint la-tween the two halves. The absence of ring is easily explained. Silver dollars are stamped from long strips, the ends of which strips are apt to get curled in «u h a manner as to break the lamina: of the metal, so that the coins cut from it have flaws which dss- ■ troy the ring.” SODA ENGINES Carlsas LocomatlTes Brin* Built at the Baldwin Work.. At the Baldwin locomotive works there are in course of construction four locomo tives which are designed to be run by soda, which takes the place of fire under the boiler. Soda has much the same power as coal without any of the offen sive gases which that fuel emits. The engines are now nearly finished, and are to be shipped within two weeks to Min neapolis, Minn., and are to be run on the streets of that city, where steam engines are forbidden. The engine has much the same appear ance as a passenger ear. It is about six- ' teen feet long, entirely boxed in, with no visible smokestacks or pijies, as there is no exhaust nor refuse. The boiler is of copper, 84 1-2 inches in diameter and 15 feet long, having tubes running through it, as in steam boilers. Inside the boiler will be placed five tuns of soda which, upon being dampened by a jet of steam, produces an intense heat. When the soda is thoroughly saturated, which will occur in about six hours, the action eeases, and then it is necessary to restore it to its original state by forcing through the boiler a stream of super-heated steam from a stationary boiler, which drives the moisture entirely from the soda, when it is again ready for use. The ex haust steam from the cylinders is used to saturate the soda, and by this means all refuse is used. These engines are the first of their kind that have been built in this country and are being constructed under the su pervision of George Kuculcr, a German engineer. The engines will have about the same power as those on the New York elevated roads, and will readily draw four light cars Soda engines are now I used in Berlin and other European cities i very successfully, and they also traverse the St. Gothard tunnel, under the Alps, ; where steam engines cannot be used, be ' cause the length of the tunnel renders it ■ impossible to devise a system of ventila ' tion which will carry off the foul gases generated by a locomotive. So over powering would those gases become that suffocation would ensue. Short Mention. Storm signals—red eyes. Fits—the gifts of mothers in law. A small “nickel” may cause a great quarrel. Women’s rights arc maintained by men’s bayonets. Boot-snakes come with practice. They are not water snakes. The anarchists will begin practicing again at an early day—on a tight rope— last act. It is thought an honor to teach boys and girls letters—a disgrace to teach them to work. Why? Steamer men are looking forward to crossing the Atlantic in palatial steamers in four days’ time. Both men and women have a fondness for glasses; those the men admire usually hold—“two or three fingers.” JIXV/A1 JOIAUJ* AUCAI UIC characters because of church going.

At Mr. Irving’s reception the other night (writes a London correspondent), there was an American gentleman who figures in a pretty story about Miss Ellen Terry. One night in New York a little deformed man came behind the scenes to present Miss Terry with a tribute in the shape of a book. This was a beautifully bound volume containing cleverly etched portraits of the actress and a number of passages from her various parts, finely engrossed. The frontispieces represented four people sitting in the front row of the gallary, absorbed in the performance, and by these*four people, two brothers and a sister of the little deformed man, the book had been entirely manufactured. They were at the theater every night and used to sit in the best seats; but as the expense became serious they gradually went aloft, like Tom Bowling, till they settled in the gallery, where they were to be found nightly with unfailing regu larity. When Miss Terry took the gift that was the product of much loving care she burst into tears, and the little de formed man cried too and went away perfectly happy to till the hearts of his three companions as full as his own. A courteous Frenchman, in reply to a question why ladies were not admitted into the Chamber of Deputies, said that to be a member it was requisite to be forty years of age, and it was impossible to find any lady that had reached that unseemly age. A Healthy Body and a Clear fiend. If indigestion, constipation and biliousness torment the body, the head cannot be clear. These orders react upon the brain most hurt fully, and produce a cloudiness in the organ of thought not experienced by a healthy man. Happily these brain-oppressing maladies may be entirely dispelled by that peerless alterative, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which cheers, refreshes and invigorates the brain and nerves, while it regulates the organs of digestion, as similation and bilious secretion. It expels the morbid humors which poison the system through the bowels and urinary passages, and exerts a powerful invigorating influence as well. Its cathartic action is never Irritating, ▼iolent or painful, but even, natural and pro gressive. As an appetizer and sie-p promoter, the bitters is unrivaled; it mitigates the infirm ities of age, relieves the ailments peculiar to the getier sex, arre'-ta pre nature decay, and Vull'ls up an enfeebled physique.

Little Jennie was capsized in a boat one day, and would probably have been drowned had she not had presence of mind enough to keep her hands and feet i moving, and thus keep herself afloat un 1 til help came.
