Times-Star, From Vera Cruz to the high plateau that is reached at and beyond Orizaba the signs of fertility toan un- | poralleled extent are visible every where from the train. The cara are open ones, and permit the traveler to enjoy the sight as he travels along. Rich sugar cane and banana and coffes plantations are seen on either band, and are charming beyond des- cription. Bananas, pine-apples and the other luscious fruits of the coun- try are offered at the stations at fabu- lously low prices. M: D, paid a quarter for a banch containing o thirty bananas, large and luscious, and was told that he had paid 50 per cent. above the customary price. Land is likewise chesp to a degree past be- lief. Ten equare miles was offered him while there for $3,000, and he learned from & man from the United States who paid, two years or 50 520, $3.500 for a plantation contalning ten equare miles and a coffee plantation in bearing and a large banans grove besides. Labor is cheap, farm hands being had st 25 cents per day, aud as on the large plantations the proprietor usually sells supplies to the hands, snd ge rally at his own prices,the cost of run- ning a hacienda s naturally a rather light taxon the owner's pocket. The party of Cincinnatians, of which Mr. Dickson was one, while in the Oity of Mexico, made up a party for a sort of picnic to go out to the “floating gar- dens.” These were some three miles out from the city, and approached through a canal some 100 or 150 feet wide. When reached these are linds just elevated above the lake, coversd with laxutient vegetation, where the vegetables that supply the capital are grown in the rich and inexhaustible alluvion. The lands sink inte the lake with their supersbundant moistare during the wet months, but their friable soil isdredged out of the canals that di- ide these squares like the streets of a city, and the earth is thrown up again aud again planted with vegeta. bles for the inhabitants of the city. Theso picturesque gardens have given Mexico the title of “‘the Venice of America.” Mr. Dickson sald that while out here their guide, an Italian resident, speaking several langusges, employed a troupe, composed of s or seven musicians, two singers and two dancers. Thess smused the American_party for two hours or more, and were more than satisfied when they received $2 by way of com- pensation for the entire troupe. The Indians, men and women, in- dlseriminately cultivate these gardens, and on the way ont Mer. Dickson eaid that he saw rows of hfteen or twenty women washing. These were stripped to the waist, and some were wholly nude. The latter modestly turned their backs as the party passed. Mr. D. said that he found the natives gen- erally as modest as thoss of many other countries, E{ypb for example, where the vative Fellahs he has seen tack up their long might-gown-like only garment, called majesticilly a ‘bournouse, securely ebout their necks to convey a party of Iadies sshore from Nilo dahsbyeth, or in Damascus where a holy person thinks nothing of walking the street without more rai- ment than Undine’s uncle Kahleborn. The cost ef a carriage is cheapness itself in the Oity of Moxico in com- parison with this country, or a baga tello as compared with Havana. A | th two-horse carrisge costs 50 ceuts per hour, or 25 cents a single course in Mexico. In Havana one would cost $8 per hour gold. _ What one of our own conscientious hackmen would charge, some of us woald perhaps know, who have tried it in a city of 300,000 inhabitants. Mexico is a beautiful city, with houzes chiefly brick and stucco, built plainly about a central court with grand carriage entrance or porte cochere, and charming to the eye. The city is extremely compactly built, bardly a vacant lot being seen. Rents are about as with usas to cost, but tenants are far more pormanent The pasements are not first-clas aro the suburbs, ou limits being mershy and a regulsr Pontine Marsh in the wet season. Hotels are superb in appcintments and comfort, and generally ches Oae of our friends had a parlor with plant Is manufactured into cloth, and possibly also paper. . From New Mexico a railroad, owned by a B ston company, aud in which Mr. Emery and some other Cincinnati capitalists are Interested, runs nocth for a It is to be ultimately extended to ‘meet our advancing lines. Charters exist and companies have been formed for two lines, but it is probable that these will be united and bot one built. Mr. Jay Gould, as we know, ia pushing his Texas system rapidly towards Laredo, on the R'o Grande, and the Atchison and Ssnta Fo are also pushing theirlines. One thing is sure, that the only practica- ble route to the Mexican cabital must pass the broad the two moun the eastern and western coast line of the! Mexican republic. This is el vated some 7,500 foet above the sea, and enjoys a temperate climate. It avoids the ragged deline to the coast on either side, that it would be impos- sible without a frightful cost to over- come. It would, moreever, cement itself to_our American railway sy tem, and no doubt ultimately the interests of Mexico and the U: States {dentical. Verily, when this is accomplished, o d three emall sleeping room adjoining, for $2 per day; and Mr. D, wife and daughter 10 years of age wera boarded the table d’hote superbly supplied, at §1.50 the three. A saddle horse of fine Arabian stock will cost s gentleman $1 for an afterncon. The ladies walk or ride in the streots as freely as here, but every- body goes to the Alameda d.ily to ride if they are able to, or sit on the benches ss at the Bois de. B ulogne, in Parls, sud see the others if they cannot ride themselves. It is eti- quette fcr gentlemen to admire and exclalm openly, “What a heautiful woman,” or, “Oh, you lovely crea- ture,” to any pretty woman he sees pase, and the women move on appar- ently unconecious, but stere up these “flowers,” as they call them, to re- count in the evening to their friende, and reslly deem them very precious scquisitions. The Mexican ladies of the better class did not impress our party immensely by their beauty, bt the Indians, men and women, were generally handsome race, infinitely more 50 than our northern aborigines, The favorite resort of gentlemen is the cafe, or what we shopld call saloone; these are fitted up beautifol- ly, and men sit her> all the eveaing and smoke and chat and drink aguar- ulque. The latter B having aboat the amount of intoxicating qualities, ac- cording to Mr. Dickson, of the ephemeral wine of themodern Gresk, or as Gen. Burbink expressed it, of our common beer. It is made from the well-knowa agave plant, or magney, that is grown extensively in the wild platea on which Mexico is \tuated, for this purpose. The plant, at a sultable siza, say about ten years of age, hat the crown cut forming a basin, or dish, into which the juices of the plants, roote and remaining leaves exude. This is dipped out and | lect formented, snd looks and tastes & little like buttermilk, but has somo intoxicating or st least exhilarating qualities that makes it the passion of the Indian population of that c.untry. Our oldiers nnder Gen. Scott took to it kindly whon eur army was there thirty odd years ago. Mexican coffee, that Is beginaing to ba largely cultivated, is equal to Java, and Mexican tobacco and cigars are y sold both hero and in Havana as the best cf Buban leaf. Business in the Jity of Megico is largely controlled by English and Ger- man capitalists, aud, baviog enor- mous means invested, it islikely to be hard to dispossess them, even with Yankee grit. Taxes aro assessed on the {ncome of property so that vacant houtes or lands aro not bardeaed by imports, Titlw to are ly straight anc Yoo sy lensly kopt a to make it safe to make invesiments.

Grant, in contem- plating the great future developments possible from the pushing of our rail- roads into Mexico, was stirred from his stolidity more profoundly than he hss since the surrender at Appomattox. Such a railway would pats through ten Mexican cities aver- aging near 30,000 inhabitants. and ‘many smaller towns, and developan agricultural, mining and manafsctur- ing industry that are now little dreamed of by either them or us, “Finally,” said Mr. Dickson,"think of sneezing under one of our northern blizzards and straightway checking our trunk for the city of the Monte zumas, where the temperature aver- ages about 79°, and never goes below 50°, and where a fire is never needed for comfort, that we may, when these roads are done, almost without a change of carz, step into samme: in loss than 72 hours’ travel.

Causeur knows that he will deserve and win the thanks of all managing editors if he can but impress thess few simpls rales upon the minds of those who write for the pres: 1. Write upon one side of the sheet only. Why? Boesuse it is often necessary to cut the pages into “‘takes” for the compositors, and this cannot be done when both sides are written upon. 2. Write clearly and distinctly, be- ing particalarly careful in the maiter of proper names, and words from foreign languages. Why? Bacause you have ue right to ask either editor or compositor to waste his time puz- sliog out the results of your selsh- ness. 3 Don't write in a microscopic hand. Why! Becauso the compositor has to read it across his case, at a dis- tance of nearly two f et; also, because e editor often wants to make addi- tions and other changes. 4. Don't begin at the very top of the firat page. Why? Because if you have written a head for your articlo, the editor will probably want to change it; and if you have mot written one, which is the better way, he must write one. Besides, he wants room in which to write his instructicns to the printer as to the type to be used, where and when the proof is to. be sent, etc. 5 Never roll your manuscript. Why? Because it maddens and perates every one who fouches it— editor, compositor and proof resder. 6. Bo brief. Why? Because peo- ple dow't read long stories. The nume ber of readers which any two articles have is inversely proportioned to the ace of their respective length. That is, a half-column article is read by four times aa many people as one of double that length. 7. Have the fear of the waste-basket constantly and steadily’ betore your eyes. Why? Because it will save you & vast amount of uselees] labor, to say nothing of paper and postage. 8. Alwaya write your full name and address plainly at the end of your let- ter. Why! "Because it will often happen that the editor will want to communicate with you, and because he needs to kaow the writer's name 18 a guarantes of good faith. If you use a pseudonym of Initials, | write your own nome and address below it; it will never be divulged. 9. “These precepts in thy memory keep,” and for fear you might forget them cut them out and put them whers you can readily run through them when tempted to spill innocent lnk.— [Boston Terascript. — THE SMALLEST MAN. JOHN LEWIS, OF IXONIA, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN. Correspandence of the Chicago Tribuse. WarerTowy, Wis., March 25.—To- day, in the little cemetery at Ixoniz, Jefferaon county, thero was laid away to its final rest tho body of John Lew- i3, the emallest man in’ Amerlca, and with tearcely a rival in the world for diminutiveness. As stated in & tele- gram, Lewls died on_Monday, March 21, at the home of his parents, in the Xip of Ixonia, six milos east of this city, of congestion of the st after a brief illness, John Lewis was born in Ixonia in 1857, being 24 ye of age at the tima of his decosse. His parents, Lewis and Catherine Lewis, aro natives of Wales. They have had seven children,—three sons and four daoghters,—their dwarf being_the oldest. With the exception of John all their offspriog are of full average size, well formed, and of good intel- ect. As a bsby, John was of fair aversge size; but appears not to havo grown much after his second year, Tais wonderful little man was only twenty- seven inches high, aad his average weight of late years was onl, pounds,—corresponding full-grown infaut sbout 18 month old. Tom Thumb, considered at onetime so much of a prodigy, is about forty inches high, and twico the weight Lewis was. Even Cowmodcre Nutt scemed fall by the'side of the Ixonis dwarf. Lowis had around facs, with an intelligentlook, bluo eyes, black, bushy hair, and fair complegion. He was perfect and symmetrical tn_form, his haods were withont thumbs, and ona foot was & dlub and alightly torned in'at the @nkis, | e was fcnd. of dpese—bis ‘favorit goat being the conventional blde frock with ‘beass buttons. It was usually found impessible to fnd a hat small encugh for him, which .:::da it necessary to make one for him expressly. When dressed in his best, be looked like a miniatore Broadway swell. He recelved-a-common rchool edu- cation; such a8 his nelghbarhood aff- prded, and was ly deawn to school In 8 litfle wagon by his broth- y | ers snd eisters. He was a bright both fn the English and was m , el only s few days, but the fiber of the maits good | Welsh fnn(m? noted for his retentive memory, 04 oould stance of about forty miles. | repeat most of the new testament by heart. He wis poesessed o” eonsider- able_religious zeal, attending church rvices regularly, and was invariably able to repest the text and tell the part of the bib'e it cculd be found in, when he returned home. In the Txonia Welsh Mothodist church, of which he was a member, the privilege was generally accorded him of giving out and reading the bymns, which he did standing on the pulpit—a small, to b sure, bat no less earnest, epecimen cf the church mili- tant. B.t, notwithstanding his fer- voras a religionist, the ungovernable ness of his temper often got the mas- tery of him. When aroused to an. ger, ho was quite derporate, and would make it somewhat unpleasant for his brethren of the houeeholi—many a time chasing his brothers and sisters out of the honse on such occasins, using hts club foot a8 a weapon to the best possible advantage. He ever maintained by his conduct that, though he had been outstripped in stature, he was complete master at the heart stone. He made a study of agricultoral topics, and remembered clearly the d|§=rent kinds ot grain the fields had been sown with the previous year. A strange peclisrity he possessed, of pulling his coat off at meals and keep- ing on his hat. He was a hearty eater, and a great tes-drinker—hls desth no doubt being hastened by his ravenous appetite. : He had a great aptitude for making money. When & plg, for instance, was given him by his sire, the clrcum- stance did not by any manmer of means furnish an illustration of the adage, “‘Boy's plg and daddy’s ba- con,"—for the progress of the growth of the animal was closely watched, and, when killed, the money obtained for the pork was soon in the little man’s pecket. Soin_the case of a hen: her layiog and incubations were propetly noted, and the profits accru- ing placed where they would do the most good.. In this way Lewis had accumalated some monsy at the time of his death. The greatest distance he ever was from home was when he attended a Welsh Church Synod at Ostkosh, a fow years ago. Lowis never exhibited himself, al- though numerous offers had been made him to do P. T. Barnum had_his photograph, and wrote him on the subject of making an engage- ment with him, and other showmen corresponded with him, having the same object in view; but to all such he turned a deaf ear. Mrs. Lewis was very emphatic in her determination that her dwarf son should never leave his home, especially for the purpose of showing himself to the public. She always took great care of him, and, on account of his misfortune, display- ed a tenderer fecling for him thau for any other of her children. ‘When Tom Thumb and Commodore Nutt exhibited in thie city some eight years ago, John Lowls went to see them. All three of thess men- midgets were great[y interested in one another. Nutt admitted he was beaten, but pointed to Lewis’ hands and feet as an offset for over-height. Thumb had nothing to say, being quite tall by the side of the Ixonia competitor, An additional pecaliarity of Lewis’ memory, which may be mentioned bere, was, that he never forgot a name,—something that fow, of more rokust body and groater iutellect than he, could bosst of. John Lewis exercised the right of suffrage for the first timo last fall— Garfield receiving his vote for presi- dent, snd Humphrey E. Hamphrey, democrat, his neighbor ana friend, for astemblyman. From this it will be seen that Gen. Gazfield had not only the largest support, bat the smallest supporter, in the conntry. Given up by the Doctors.
