The Classes of Tt Population Dress and Character, Their Cotrespondance ob the Springflold Republicar Crry o Mexico, July 18, 1883 | people t | may be roughly divided intothree classes; | this is, of course, without including the foreigners, who are sufficiently numerous, but who do not possess the same interest | to the traveler that is to be found in the | natives of the country. The three classes would be the Mexicans, the Mestizos,and the Indians. Since all are, broadly speak- | ing, Mexicans, it might perhaps be bet- | ter to call them the upper class, the ser- | vant class, and the lowest class. This does not give quite an exact idea, since these three es are to be found in any community, while here not only are the s different, but alsothe races. There | is no name for the servant class, the word Mestizo is applied to them and is under | stood when used, but is not generally employed. They scem to be a people midway between the Indian and tl { white man n the pictorial point of view, the Indian is the most interesting The be met on the streets of Mexico | of these classes. They seem to be, as | they are, remnants of the past, lingering | the scenes of their former great amon; | they do not blend with the city life They are not idle; far from it come into the city in the morning with their meagre stock of vege ¥ and in the afternoon you see them re | turning to their homes. They usually go | at a dog-trot which impresses one as be- ing v paco faces have the melancholy cast of a peo- ple borne down by oppression. The onward march of time has had little orno influence on their customs. Their dress | has apparently undergone no change of plan since the day when Cortes first in- troduced civilization among them by th means of gunpowder, The costume is ngly simple, consisting of two One isa piece of plain cloth with aslit in the center through which the head is thrust. The ends fall a little be- low the waist and it is wide enough so that on its sides it ches about to the elbows, the arms being otherwise uncov- ered. This garment is the same for both sexes. The cloth of which it is made forms a distinguishing mark quite as prom- inent as tne cut. [t is a coarse cloth of a pecculiar dark blue color and loose texture. It is manufactured by the Tn- dians and is never seen except in their dress. The other garment of the women is o plain piece of this same blue cloth bound about the waist and falling to the ankles. The dress of the men is com- ploted by a pair of leather trousers reach- ing to the knees and open some six or seven inchesr up the outside seam. For head-covering the men wear a coarse straw hat, while the women are usually bare-headed, but occasionally they will be scen with a narrow strip of their blue cloth covering the top of the head and falling upon the ulmll‘(h‘ This is held in place by tying above it the two braids in wh the hair is worn. The hair does not grow long and the lack is made up by Draidin \ bright colored worsteds. d and a string of colored gl beads are almost the only ornaments of the women. Onceina while a pair of silver earrings will be seen, but not fre | quently. These people live on the ex- | treme “outskirts of the city or in the small villages surrounding, and among | them only can be heard the original lan- guage of the Mexicans. The Mestizos or servant class difier wholly from the Indiang in dress. The most characteristic feafure is the rebozo worn by the woman, his is a dark- colored scarf of thin material, about eight feet lomg and two and a half feet wide. One would think that these scarfs would be of a variety of beautiful colors, but they are universally homely. The pi vailing color is a light blue with narrow white lines at frequent intervals. The rebozo completely covers the head, one end han vn by the side, the other being breught either under the chin or a little higher just passing over the mouth and thrown over the left shoulder. It seems to be looked upon as the most in- dispensable article of a woman’s di The usual dress is the ordinary civilized dress, with a great d ty of opinion as to the quantity deemed necessary, but whatever the amount of clothing on the upper part of the body, the rebozo is u{\myn worn. Its especial service is in the carrying of children. When the child is carried in the arms the child is put inside of the rebozo and the ends brought under the avm, transferring a large part of the weight from the avm to the shoulders,but the most characteristic use is in binding the child to the mother's back, bringin, the entire weight on the shoulders and leaving the hands unoccupied. The chil- dren seem to enjoy it. Their heads are usually left free, and they roll aboutfrom one side to the other in~ apparent com- fort. The men of this slass are various- 1y dressed. The peorest laborers wear simply a blouse and a pair of trousers made of a coarse white cloth called man- ta. Itisabout the thickness of heavy cotton cloth, The width of these trous- ers is simply ludicrous. They seem fully us wide us meal sacks, and the ample folds swing from side to sido with the motion of the walker, in most airy fashion It scoms almost impossibleth people can live with such thin clothir and it is not surprising to hear that here in the valloy of Mexico numbers of these cons perish ovory winter from cold. My (I (e place during a night last January. Among the Mexicans the dress of the men varies but slightly from that in other parts of the world, ‘but here the women have the more characteristic fea- tures of costume. They use bright and light colors with a reckless profusion Yellows, blues, green and runLi silk und satin ave seen and frequently in in- harmonious combinations. Pink, too, is u color which is used regardless of the consequences. The head-dress was, and still is among the conservative, the black laco muntilla, and a wost appropriate and becoming head-covering it is, but unfortunately it is fast being abandoned and its placo is taken by Paris bonnets and chip hats, At a recent open-air en- tertainment there was not a mantilla to be seen, but scoop-hats were on overy hand, and as the custom here is fc the women to kiss on greeting e other, the trouble which the vims of the hats gave and tie succeeding ro-arrnging of them was almost comical | —— i Tuseot Plagues in Russia, There are fow years in which locusts or grasshoppers do not muke their appear ance in southern Russia.

Had he awaked with the next morning's sun, as people generally lo, the circumstance would have at ted no attontion, but he did not. Continuing in sound repose, his parents, and afterward his friends and neighbors, ame alarmed at his long slumbering d began studying as to what induced it. The case was put into the care of the best physicians, but the wisest of them, after diagnosis, could give no intelligent wolution, Mr. Play in_ his bed motion- loss, suffering no pain, and | ex- [ empt, ningly, from those calls which thirst and hunger make. Early in July, 1882, Mr. Platt, who is 35 years old ‘and unmarried, was at work in a hay field. The sun beat down with force, affecting his head, and he reclined at noon under a tree on a pile of hay, think- ing after a short nap to feel better. On riging from the hay he complained of a strange feeling in the back of his he: and he i ted to the house and Nothing availed to In the autumn ne was attacked alleviat with malarial fever, and it is believed the | two causes comabined tended to bring about his comatose condition, and render him the most protracted sleeper of modern times. From Christmas till March he scarcely moved in bed, and took no nourishment save what was forced into his mouth. ~ With lengthening days he exhibited signs of returning anim- atwon, but mnot till the arrival of May and the apple blossoms did he move from his recumbent position, after an intelligent syllable, or open his eyes. Presently, however. he submitted to be Holtarl up in bed, and_finally, li infant, was put into his clothes and a chair, He could not be induced to speak, and the muscular effort, if such it may bo called, required for him to pass from the bed to the cl was invariable followed by deep slecp, which Iasted till In June hur rted iteelf, and during his brief eful mo- ments he daily found his way, unassisted, se the same, his > while closed, and returning r resumed the sleep which his impelled to feel would never ing. Thus he continued till July, 10th, when, to the surprise of his family, he strode to the front verand Seated in a rustic chair, he heard a pas ing teamster address his cattle, and, as if in nicry, sang out, ““Whoa!"—the fivst exclamation he had made during 213 days. On Monday night last week he went to his room as usual. During the night he left it steathily, and, clad in his thin garments, slippers, an apology for a hat, no money, started to walk to this He must have reached Hawle; le before midnight, otherwise the d pot watchman there would have secn him, and, following the track of the Houstatonic railroad, reached here Tues- day morning. Amang the crowds swarm- ing at the station in this city he did not attract attention at first; but, after a while, Mr, George Arnold, of the police force, saw his actions, and, convinced that there was something wrong, took him into custody. The description of Sherman W, Platt and the story of his long sleep was familiar to the officer, and he set about tho task of making an iden- tification, Mr, Arnold called in e Mayor Daniel N. Morgan, who former! lived in Newtown, and one glance f; that gentleman sufficed. It was, indeed Mz, Platt. At the office of Chief Marsh various expedients were adopted to ex- tort words from Mr. Platt. He danced,,| walked, and smoked a pipe when asked to do 8o, but exhibited no inclination or desire to speak, and, it is asserted, did not uttera word while in Bridgeport.
