In the cewtral and northern statos of Mexico are feund estates large enough to hide many European princi palities in a million and a half acres, of this fruitful soil which bears o grown in both temperate and tropical vones, and produced two crops year is rather a neat little farm. The famous Solado ranche, for example, contains over BIX HUNDHED SQUARE MILES, Tt lies partly in tho states of Nuevo Couhuila, Zalatecas and San Luis Potosi, on the high-way to the capital and on the lino of the New Mexican Central rail- road. Tt Las an average elevation of four thousand feet, on the far-famed central cattle lands of the republic. Its boun daries extendsmore than a hundred miles from north to south; chains of mountain: —how rich in mineral wealth no man may know—traverse it; and flourishing farms and mining towns are met at frequent intervals. he fact is, all Mexico is owned by a comparatively few individuals, which is the chief cause of such wide distruction of taste—the impassable gulf between rich and poor,—and so little progress in agriculture and manufactories, General- ly the In‘nprictnn of these vast estates enjoy life abroad, or in tho city of Mexico, and his dependants living on the land take about as much interest in the cultivation thereof as would negro slaves without an overseer. Besides, great oasessions are fatal to ambition. That 18 & wise clause in the litany—*‘In all time of our prosperity, good Lord deliver us!” The average New England farmer. whose fow acres yield nothing bountirully but stones and blackberry briers, and who acquires a chronic limit from con- stant hill-side labor, really produces more in his one crop a year than the pro- prietors of a thousand acres in this land of eternal sunshine. But then, climatic influences must be taken into account as well as the difference in temperament be- tweon the happy-go-lucky Latin, and the thrifty energetic Anglo-Saxon race. As to the productiveness of the soil, it is difficult to get reliable information down to actual figures. If you ask a Mexican how much his field or orchard yields, the invariable rapll\:'—uoumlnmiad by a story worthy a French dancing master—is Quien Sube (who knows). “‘ASI DIOX QUIESE.” As God wilis! 1 have ascertained not with Mexican instruction—which means merely trifling the surface of the soil und turning on water now and then, that from 25 to 40 bushels of corn per acro,ure considered to satisfactory yield, The fow porsons who have tried improved methods of cultivation, affirm that they vendily produce from 50 to 76 bushels per acre, each crop, planting the first in February, and the second in July or August. The standard price of corn in Monterey is two cents per pound. The principal crops in this state are corn, barley, beans and sugar-cane and they tell stories almost as “‘tall” as the cane itself, about the marvellous growth of the lutter. Riding along the water-couries anywhere in the suburbs one sees im penetrable thickets of giant, wild-cane, revaling Jacks historic bean-stalk in height. A gentlemen who owns what he calls a ‘“‘quinta peyreno” (little garden) of a hundred acres, .near Monterry, tells me that he bought it in 1882 for §22 per acre and that the first year's yield of only ten acres of it in sugar cane, received $700. Judge Golindo, a resident of this city and one of the federal judges of Mexico,— informs me that his sugar ranche was selded twenty three years ago, the cane has ripened year after year more than nine feet high, and there has never been any falling-off in-the yield.

This water-question, which in Utah the Mormons have regu- lated to the nicety of clock-work, is here yet among ‘‘tho mysteries ol -guna e If you enquire of a farmer as to his ir- rigation privlla‘gul he will tell you that he has ‘“‘nine days' water,” “thirteen days' water,” or ‘‘twenty days water,"—as the case may be, which means that he has the privilege of turning water on his land once in nine, thirteen, or twenty days,—which privilege, you may be sure, has cost him a good round sum. It must be borne in mind that the rains of heaven, like many other things in this tropical clime, are not to be depended upon. They fall, according to promise, alike upon the just and unjust, but come at long and alway wnexpected intervals— enerally in torrents that deluge the fiuldl and do more damage than good. It is but reasonable logic to conclude that |if this land is yaluable only when ir d if all the available water is already in use on Jands now under culti- vation, then the country must look to improved methods to increase its culti- vated area. Artesian wells have not yet been tried for purposes of irrigation, (to my knowledye), but that water is plenty, though far below the surface, is proven by the fact that all over Mexico are fou very deep wells of pure, clear wat A ' Mexican’s hovel may not be fit for cattle to live in, but a good well s to him what & fine barn is to a Pennsylvania farmer.

The great Saddle moun- tain shadows us on the right, and L bare hot fields on the le't are dotted with the cane-stalk huts—roofed with Spanish dagger leaves—of the Mexican poor. There few large trees in’ this part of Mexico, and not many of any kind ex- copt the pal and Spanish dageer. The meadows bear no grass worth mentioning, but grow unlimited cactus and a variety of wild flowers. The road sides are lined with a luxuriant growth of flowering bushes, probably planted for hedges,over which the wild clematis climbs in rank profusion, mixed with purple heliotrope and ag mignonettee, nasturtions and other floral favorites which require careful cultivation in our colder climate. There are no fences in Mexico, but vine draped walls of gray adobe, upon which “‘the insidious looth of time” makes slight imp i Each little hut which has only r oarth forafl —and neither stove, bedstead, ¢ table among its furnishings—is he by tall magney (the ‘“‘century” v Ufllllf) and has a wilderness of roses and magnificent oleanders, whife and red, in perpotual bloom, with generally sprend ing fig-tree, and a few broad-leaved hannnas shading his thached roof. The happy owner of this HOME, SWEET HOME. does not dream of such a thing as seratching up a little of the land that lies unused all around him and planting herin n few potatoes and cabbages. Why should he trouble himself? Tortellas and frijoles—cakes made of pounded corn mixed with water and yed beans, suit him well enough for food, and he can_buy enouzh for five cents to supply his family for a whole day. If he wants luxuries, why there i the never- failing fig-tree, with occasional bananas, and no end of garlic and cllili-}n- per ¢ wild in the hedges. If heis vich enough to own a goat, his wife now and then makes a tiny cheeso—some- thing ke ‘“switzer kase'—not to he caten until you can smell it u mile, and he s particularly artial to sour milk and chits, mixed with his beans. What more could a reasoma. ble Mexican desire? We meet a constant procession of donkeys on the road, each with a rider sitting almost upon its tail and carrying the cargo on a rude sort of «addle in front, where the rider would sit in any other country under the sun Sometimes an entire” family, husband, wife and children, actually cover a dimin- utive doukey from head to tail, and anon great heupn of merchandise bulge out upon either side and tower far above the head of the poor little beast. Behind us the quaint city, whose low adobe walls are lost from sight at a short distance, seems to sleep the sleep of ages; but the fellow towers of the great Roman Catho- lic Cathedral (which represents the over- shadowing power in Mexico) are still a conspicuous feature in the landscape, and the everlasting hills stand guard on every side. 1 have not seen a four-wheeled wagon, an omnibus, or an iron plow in Mexico The import duty is $10 per wheel. The plows are three-cornered wooden con- cerns, exactly like those used in ancient Egypt—if pictures of the latter are cor- rect. The carts are ponderous vehi- cles, ench with two enormous wheels of solid wood with mot a bit of iron any where about them, which ook of themselves o sufficient load for any pair of ahimals, These carts aro us- ually propelled by several lean oxen, driven four abreast, tandem, hap-hazard, always with heavy wooden yokes fastened upon the top of their heads. Theirnoses are thus bowed neatly to the ground and their eyes woar a look of suffering pitia- ble to see, while the driver amuses him- self by prodding them with a long pole, in the end of which is a sharp iron spear, O, FOR A BERGH in Mexico! If the theory of transmi- gration of souls be true, may Heaven }lrusk‘rvc us from “a future state,” in the orm of donkeys or oxen. The piloncillo “factory” aforesaid, is a rustic mill, standing in the open field, worked by one decrepit mule, and tended by a solitary Mexican, the only human being in sight save ourselves. Judge Golindo's methods and machinery are primitive as compared to commodious sugar manufactories elsewhere. But per- haps he is wiser, as his expenses are less and gains correspondingly greater. The cane-stalks serve a double Lllurpoue, for after having been squeezed dry in the mill they are thrust into the furnace for fuel. The sap runs by arude trough from the mill to a tin vat, under which is the mud oven digi d by the name of furnace. When sufficiently boiled, the sap is cooled, molded in tiny earthen pots, exactly like our smallest plant jars, only a trifle deeper. Then each little cake is separately wrapped in dried leaves of the cane, and is ready for ship- ping. The skimmings of the boiling sap are utilized in making a beverage some- thing like cider, called agua miel, (honey water), or *‘miel de cana.” Tho syrap of the riloncillo is by no means as pleas- ant to the tasto as maple, and resem- bles Chinese sorghum, In this part of Mexico, us well as further southwest, the orange tree grows luxuriantly. In Texas, where large quan- tities of the fruit are shipped, Mexican oranges are considered superior to those from any other port. Figs are as plentiful as the blackberry trees before mentioned in country lanes of New England, and so cheap that fow think them worth picking to sell. An establishment for drying, }vlwl‘ing, and ll\iprillg them could not fail to realize handsome profits, The principal exports from Monterey are silver and lead from the mountains, (whose mineral riches are yet hardly suessed), hides, goat skins, and a textile fibre callod, in ‘Aztec dinlect. IXTLE, which is extensively used in the U, 8. in the manufacture of ropes. An endless quantity of this valuable fibre could be obtained if a machine were in- vented to separate it from the pulp. From time immemorial this has been done in o slow and_tedious manner, by sparating it, leaf by leaf, with a knifo The price of ixtle in Mon'‘erey is $1.25 per arroba, or 26tbs, In the neighboring state, Conhuela, great quantities of grapes are grown, both white and purple. In Parras much wine is made, ulI a superior quality,—a sort of a cross between port ther variety which tastes much like sher When rail fa- cility iw established, no douby this also will form an important item of report, not to mention the many strange tropical fruits with which we of the north would like to get acjuainted.—Ponegranites grow to great sizo here, also ahuacates- like those of Cuba, so prized. for salads. Even the CAUTUH, foreigners, is not without its despised b uses. 1 I dont know what the with a square a) ure high up in the drlnr.lqdour, nghvhzhlnxuumd country woull do without it. In the long dry seasons when water is scarce, countless herds of sheep and goats are kept alive by splitting the broad flat leaves of the “‘prickly pear” variety, and allowing the animals to suck the natural moisture contained inside. It is said that the favorite diet of donkeys as a mule, is tin cans and thistles. But Mexican mules ave more favored, being fed on toasted cactus, which their owners prepare by branches on a stick (it is im- possible to handle it othersise,) over a slow fire till the prickers are burned off. Each vaviety of cactus bears its frait, all “igood for men and beasts,” and more or less palatable, whether pulc ), scar- let, purple or black. Of late the mines of this section have I attention and other al companies cently been been attracting almost as mv as the famous enes of Sonor: portions of Mexico, of foreign capitalists have r established, and are working at Villada ma, Salina, Victoria, and other points uearer Monterey. ~ When we recall ac counts of the enormous stores of gold and silver possessed by the early Aztecs,Mon- tezumas, Ixthazihuatl, Mzahualpitti, Ix- tolxochitl, and other ancient worthies with jaw-breaking names, we wonder if thel 1o bottom to their mines, or if is busier here than clsewhere. In the vicinity of Monterey are three factories, run by water-power, for the manufacture of cotton cloth, Two of them make bleached goods and have been sosuccessful that they have doubled the member of looms within the last year. The commonest calico, which elsewhere retails for four cents a yard, here sells for from 25 to 30 cents per vera, about three-quarters of a yard. As the duty on prints amounts to more than the cost of the cloth itself, it would well repay capitalists to establish print facto- ries in this section, expecially as the duty on raw cotton is simply nominal, and the price of lubor lower than anywhere else on the continent. Of course the import- ance of these fuctories will increase with the opening of facilities to reach other portions of Mexico. Formerly all goods had to be transported in carts, or on pack mules, but soon the railroads will do away with such slow transit. Machinery of all kinds goes free of duty and right here is an item for enter- prising agents, viz.: the most ordinary sewing machines sell here at $125 and upwards. A paper mill erected near Monterey would by a fortune for some body Paper costs $2 per ream in the United States, and by the time it gets into Mexico has . advanced to $5.50 per ream. The refuse of the cotton mills, which is now, burned as of no value, could doubtless be utilized in this new industry. A soap factory ought to yield a bonanza here. We pay fifty cents” in Mexico for cakes of toilet soap which sell for ten cents elsewhere, and from $1 to $1.50 for small cakes of “‘Lubiu’s Best.” Common brown bar-soap is sold in thin slices—re- sembling boarding-school sponge cake— at a modest (six cents) per slice, or thir- ty-five cents per bar. It would seem that the materials for soap-making might be easily obtained in a land where wood is the only fuel and much fat 1s used for food, except that the natural appetite for the latter consumes all such portions of pork, ef as we consider fit only for soap-gr e. In my opinion_another fortune lies in potato raising and cultivating small fruits and vegetables, During six months resi- dence in Mexico, I have scarcely seen a potato. Although they grow readily in this soil, nobody s o think of raising them, and they” arc§ imported from the Uniteq States, and Jell by the piece, or pound, at exhorbitant prices. Many strawborries are grown in Coahnite, but as thoy are not readily transported long distances on mule-back, are never seen in this market. There is not such a thing as a_market-garden anywhere in the vicinity, and small fruits, such as rasp- In!.-rx-in, cherries, plums, e¢c.,are unheard- of, The treasury department of Mexico has recently published an official valuation of the "]nm}ud pmlmrry” in the Republic, and puts its total at upwards of THREE THOUSAND MILLIONS of dollars, Nearly two thirds of this is credited to *“Urban” estates, and the re- mainder (exclusive of church property) to estates pertaming to the government. Among !Slu “Urbun” details are enume- rated 46 theatres, valued at $5,600,000; 23 “bull-rings” (for the popular Sunday amusement of bull-fighting) at $620,( 00; and 98 ‘‘cock-pits” at $116,000, The church buildings are divided into two classes, 178 *‘large” edifices (all Roman Catholic) being valned at $54,000,000, and 1200 lesser edifices (including the few places for Protestant worship) at 27,000,000, The city houses are divided into three classes, numbering all told 1,421,938, at a total valuation of $1,813,- 700,000. This valuation includes places of business as well as residences, but it is seldom in Mexico that a business exists independent of a dwelling house. The extremes of wealth and pov- erty are indicated by comparing these official eitimates of ‘‘urban es- tates” of the first class with those of the third class, The former, 36,648 in num- ber, are valued at $897,700,000, an aver- age of nearly $824,600, Those of the third class number 1,186,440, and are valued at $362,000,000, an average of only $300. Considering that the entiro population of the republic does net reach twelve millions according to most extrav- agant estimates, and probably not much more than ten millions,. the number of urban houses in proportion to inhabitants is very large, 1t bears witness to a di tinctive characteristic of Mexico—the crowding of the people into cities, by reason of the former insecurity of coun- try life. In all Mexico there is not a farm house, as the term is generally un- derstood. The haciendas are really forts, behind whose high adobe walls the own- ers were forced, in times not long past, to shelter their laborers, horses and cat- tle from depredators, like the barons of old. Sogreat has been the insecurity that even the large cities have no fine suburban residences fringing the outskirts for miles, as is the case in every other county. But all this [y changed, now that the new epoch has begun. There is much alleged improvement which does not improve, and when Mexico shall have become thoroughly Americanized, as it will within the next (im-cm]o, its chief interest will have departed with its olden digers, among the shadowy *‘things that were,” If you desire to see the land of the cac- tus and the palm with this glamour of the past upon her you must come quickly, for young America is the prince wha is com- ¢ to awaken this ‘sleeping beauty” from the repose of centuries.

Salt Lako Tribune, We often read in the eastern journals of the fortunes made in fruit raising and of the remarkable large yield of fruit, re- ported in Salt Lake valley, from small orchards. In this territory the orchards are all small, and for the past few years the crops have been inferior by reason of the effect of frosts, bad seasons,and above all, of the destruction by worms. The codling moth has almost destroyed the apple crop in Utah, and yot this crop may soon le restored and Utah apples again becoine the rites of the war- ket, s was the case years ago. Charles Himerod, of Boise, Idaho, has been visiting the city, and told a friend of his experience in g frait in Boise Valley. « Thomas Davis and himself, some years ago embarked in that busi- ness, and by purchase of fruit orchards and planting trees, have numerous or- chards in that valley. Last year they gathered and marketed 50,000 bushels of apples, which netted them $40,000. Be- sides this t have on hand 200 barrels of cider vinegar, produced from bruised and unmarketable fruit, ~ All this truit was entirely free from worms and was of fine flavor. This year their crop will amount to over 10,000 bushels, and be of superior quality and size. The trees usually bear a large crop one season and a small crop the next, but this is not the invariable rule, the crops sometimes being large for soveral consecutive years, These entlemen are the largest fruit producers in the Great Basin lying between the Rockies and tne Sierras, and their or- chards are at an elevation of between 2,000 and 3,000 feet above the sea. i Lynn, Mass., always was a good place for health, but it has become a modern Bethesda since Mrs. Lydia E.

Jackson 8. Schultzappealsto the courts at New York to stop the incessant ring- ing of the bell of St. George’s church, which rings at intervals all day from 630 a.m. Hesays: ‘‘Several members of my family, when sick, have been worried by its ringing. A lady who was very ill was made o much worse by its ringing a fow months ago that her relatives asked the church official to have it rung less frequently until sherecovered. They said that was impossible. 1t is worse lately than it was. A new minister has service very often, and there isa proportionate increase of bell-ringing. In Lent the bell seemed to be going all the time. I am determined to prevent not only the bell of St. George's church from being rung, butalso to stop the bells in all the other churches in the city. They are nuisances, and I think the law is nst them.” ——— ‘What we Can Cure, Let's not Endure.

While at Bermuda Hundreds the soldier found a horse outside that had been shet in the leg—a big bay horse that once be- longed to a rebel colonel, They brought him in, dressed his wound, and started him off; but every day he came regularly at the sanie time, and was very uneasy until his wound was dressed, after which he would go off again and not_ be seen until the next day at the regular hour. Finally, the wound being healed, though the horse was too lame to be of any use, the bandages were taken off, the leg thoroughly washed and cleansed, and the horse startcd off again, Tdat was the last they ever saw of him. Ho seemed to know just as well as any one else that he was fully cured, and there was no more need of his running up doctor bills, = Horsford's Acid Phosphate, Makes & Cooling Drink.
