City of Mexico, Aug. 31.—Ameca-Ameca was once, as its namo would scem to signify, the mecea of Mexican pilgrims. ‘To {ts shring used to resort yearly thousands from hundreds of miles around. A few days since, I too was lured thither, but not by the virtues of the Sacred Mountatn. 1 went to do homage to the slirine of Dame Nature, who has placed fiure one of her most hallowed aliars, What more approprinte spot could be found than at the fect of the two great yulvanoos which raise tholt hoary heads far up Into the regions of beautiful snow! Few more beautiful and picturesque places are to befound in the country. We do not ap- proach It by the long, tedfous, and painful Journeys of the old pilgrim—modern engi- neerlng has done away with all that, Jt!s a thing of tho past. Comfortably scated in one of the clegant cara of tho Morelos Kallrond, wontaswiftly borne thither without pains ortol], Leaving the Plaza Mayo of Mexico by horse-car at half-past6in the morning, we are « few minutes iater landed at the San Lazaro Station, on the eastern outskirts of the elty. Tickets are purchased, wo pass through the gate, take our seat, and await the time of departure. In the few minutes before the train starts Iet mo give a short account of the road, Itis & Mexlean enterprise throughout, having been bullt entirely by Mexicans and with Mexicun capital. ‘The charter was received in April, 187, with o subvention of $8,000 per kifometer, and the main line was finished to Cuantia, in tho State of Morelos, last Muy, Ono week itfter its openmg it was the scene of a terribie disaster, causing the death of over 200 people. This Mne runs at first southeast, skirting the shores of Lakes ‘Texcoco and Chaleo, thence south through tho Sierra of Ajusco. At first the country is very level, but, wher tho mountains aro -reached, the grades become stecp; deep bdarrancas fire niet, wow dry, but perhapsa few hours Inter occupled by a rushing, foaming torrent. On the south sido the road descends rapidly —Cuantin being In the “tierra callento,” 4,000 or 3,000 feet lower in altitude than Sfex- eo, ‘Thiscity isin adirect line and about two-fliths the distance to Acapulco, the finest harbor Mexico possesses on the Pacific, ‘This road may posstbly some day form o link ingthrough line, though its charter does not now grant It 6 power to build to that port. ‘Tho total length is about nine-six kilometres. Soon after Jeaving Mexico a branch starts out toward the north—the terminus being Irola, on the Ine of the Vera Cruz Railroad, ‘This will be Nulshed ay far as Texcoco in about two months, when that clty—which next to Mex- ico is perhaps the most interesting, from a historical point of view, in the country—will be united with the Capital, ‘Texcoco, though now but a smalland almost unknown village, once shared the sovereignty with Mexico, An her civilization she was ahead of. her more famous rival. While Mexico was tho political capital and Cholula the religions capital of Anahune, ‘Texcoco was tho literary capital, ‘The Morelos Railroad Is three feet gage— the same as that of tho Mexican National. ‘The train fs now ready to start; the whls- le of the locomotive sounds, and we are off for Ameen, Most of the way wo travel o fat, level country; butit is not monotonous, fur hills close the view in every direction. Ahead are the snow-peaks, of which we ob- tuln constant. and varying views, At first they stand out” perfectly distinct, Not a cloud obstructs the view. There they are, in their perfect majesty, later, however, clouds begin to collect, ob- scuring first only a band part way up thelr sides. The white eaps project far above the clouds, 05 Jf springlis from them, and being of them, though whiter.anddenser. No sign of vutinection with the earth appeurs. Below appear the grean-wooded sides -of the mountalng, - terminating in the clouds, as if forming colossal pillars for the support of tbe white, yapory canopy. ‘Before we reach our destination” the tops of the mountains, and file two-thirds of thoir hight, are.com- pletely hidden from view.

Taking a winding path, we soon enter the woods. The place is wonderfully attractlye, Wild flowers of many kinds and brilliant hues adorn the sides of the road. ‘The profuston of flowers, the alinost tropical luxurlance of vegetation, with the distant view of immense beds o! dazaling-white snow, form a eurious con- trast, Ilow tho place would delight tha cyo of the botanist!

As we de- scended, the boy who served as guide wished. to show us the grotto where, he informed ns, we should hear music direct froin Rame, We of course followed him. A little way down the hill was another farger and richer church, We were conducted to its rear, whers was in reatity a beautiful grotto floored with much-worn tiles, Between It and the church is a spnca inclosed on either side by gloss, In which Js 4 fixura of Christ in the sepulchre, We take seats and listen attentively, but none perceived the infraci- Jous music. All that was heard was the cry- Ing of an infant. Whether we did not come with the proper spirit, or whether the tine was not propitious, Ldo not know.

CG. B CENTRAL AFRICA. Matteucci’s Last Lottor—His Own Hece ord of What Ho Saw in Central Af- rica. London Datty News, From a letter written by the late Dr. Mat teucel and Licut. Massuri, and recelyed by tho Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs on the very day that the sad news arrived of Dr. Matteuccl’s death, we extract the following dated Akassa (mouth of the Niger), June 1, est; “Wadaj, which unt!l now has been almost closed to geographical investigation, is the most powerful empire of Central Africa, It extonds north as far ns the dogert of Libico, tothe south it comprehends the vast king dom of Baghirmt and Dar Runga, to the west. tis bounded partly by Bornt and partly ts lost among the Kanemi tribes, and to the east is bounded by Darfur and Tama, a small kingdom tribute to Egypt, For the Inst ten’ years Wadnj has kept upan active trade with the Mediterranean by the fatiguing, but direct, route to the desert between Wadaj ond Bon- gazi., It exports lvory ot good quality, ostrich feathers, and numerous slaves, and imports cottons, fancy articles, a little silk, and bright-colored cloths. ‘The commerce Is in the hands of the Arnbs of Tripoli, Benguzi, and the east part of Fezzan. Wadaj Is rich in camels and cattle, and proprietors ju the south, near the Kiver Salamet, furnish every kind of vegetable produce in quantities. The western provinces, however, ure sterile from want of water. Until now Wadaj was closed to all Europeans. ‘Two German travelers, fy 1854 and 1802, met with a crue) death, and only in 1873, during the pacific reign of Sul- tan’ All, was Dr. Natehtigull, coming froin Bornu, pormitted to cross the country, ilaving entirely adopted the customs of the natives,” ho | passed = unnoticed, more like =a ‘Turkish merchant ilan a messenger from the civilized world.

Nat- urally of a timid disposition, he asked per- missfon to become a Mussulman, and re- celved the name of *Mohammed £1 Maslt- mau.’ ‘The King was much pleased with thls; he kept Valpredn near his person, and during four years the Intter wanted for nath- ing. But Velpreda felt his false position; the King loved him, but the Opla him, ant evinced their discon- font at the presenco of a white nt Court. Vatpreda sent letters to the Consuls at Tunis and Tripoll, praying for moral and material atd, but not one line, not a word of comfort reached him In reply, Ho then repeatedly asked the King to send him home to his own country, but was always put off with kind phrases.’ Valpreda was to parasite on the King; his natural Intelligence enabled him to puta hand tosverything, and he becaine howacnirpenter, now anarchitect, now a mechanic, now a gardener, working In the sweat of hia brow. About five years ago the King reduced his gifts, and Valpreda has been obliged to work doy and night to support asad and most unhappy existence. “it was on coming froin Wada}, and al- mostat the gates of the Capttal of Bornu, that we heard of our compatriot. Later we Igtened to his account of the sorrowful story Wwe now repeat to your Excellency, and we were very sorry that wa were tot able to in- tercere «directly with the King in his favor, Our position was difficult. In Bornu any one coming from Wada} is deatousty suspected, and we were unprovided with gifte and other incans, which are the great forces of such travela as ours. We had no official letters to present, and for this reason Val- preda hinself decided that it was better to abstaln from any wand, Tecon- fided tous his serious fenrs of being killed when the old King shatitd die. and told us that if he had had any means he would have attempted to fly. We were no better off than he, but we furnished him with a modest sum of money, obtained in # manner we shall have occasion to relate In another letter to your Excellency, ‘The future of Bornu is dark; the present King !s very olit; In and out of his kingdom he enjoys general pathy, and Js respected allke as King and as press butit is foreseen that on the day of his death the rival parties in the Capital will occasion a& horrible civil war, and all the nelghboring, tributary Kings will rise in re- volt. “Kano, Your Exeollency, Js the third large kingdom that we visited. It ts a fand 0 peace and Inbor, far away from any civilized country, and surrounded by savage tribes; it {s civil more because of the temperate na- ture of tts population than from any other source. At Kano every one works, every ono speculates, every one makes moneys there is no difference of caste, of falth, or o: nationality. When you enter this vast me- tropolls no one inquires whence you come, whither you go, what you want, or whom you seek, ‘The natives Weave the materinl for the native dress, which they dye blue with Indigo, the rich product of thelr cou try. ‘They prepare furs in an excellent man- ner, and inake any things worthy of iml- tation. Thelr commerce with the coasts of the Mediterranean Is conducted by the Arabs of Tripoli and Ghadami. ‘They bnport calico, silk, sugur, and faney articles, and export ivory, ostrich feathers, furs, thibet, and a few slaves. ‘The soil produces ail kinds of grain of excellent quality, and potatoes pros- per as iu no other country In Central Africa, One of the most active trades with Kano fs that of the goro, runt much appreciated ut Bornu and Wadaj, which comes f.

There ara now atthe mouth of that river, within a few hours of the capl- tal, twenty English factories which send thelr gouds to the sen by means of small steamboats that ascend the river al- most weekly, importing cottons, sill, guns, tquors, copper, and brass, and exporting ivory, palm-oll, anda veretable fat that Is found at Nupe in great quantities, prepared by the natives from tho seeds of the tallow tree, Itseems that the English merchints are not content with what they have.
