A NEW MEXICO PICTURE. 1
PICTURESQUE SCENE AT A STOP
OF A SOUTHERN TRAIN.

Uallj Baaa—A Paaatas Glaaaa.
One of the famooa tating boneee of
the Atchieon road UBtoated at Wallace,
where the train going south etofa late in
the afternoon. At the can draw np at
the etation the long platform it thronged
with the people of theeoantry. of diverse
races. Rough miners in flannel and
heavy boots stand watching the train;
cowboys, set off by sombreros and spurs,
swagger about the platform, and Span
iah-Americans, with swarthy facet and
gleaming black eyes, lounge against the
railings, looking impaauvely on the
seer* Meet pictoreeque of all there
tethered are the descendants of the
tribes akin to the Toltecs and Axtecs,
those migrating peopl^, whose first home
was in the northwest before they went
south to colonise the valleys of the Mex
ican plateau—the Pueblo Indians from
Santo Domingo and San Filipe.
They are quaintly clad in their charac
teristic garb of legging and tunic, with
a blanket dress for the women, and some
time* for the men a gaudy blanket wrap
ped about the body. Some are awaiting
the train on the station plaftorm, and
others, belated, are seen running toward
the cars, bearing on their heads and
backs the things they have to trade.
They exhibit a great variety of pottery,
in the
form
many earthen idols of infinite ugliness
They offer for sale pieces of what the
New Mexican curiosity dealers call
smoky topas, which in reality is obsidian
or volcanic glass, the material used by
the ancieni Axtecs for catting parpenes,
from swords down to razors.
MAST If ATION AUTIES.
About the train is a characteristic col
lection of passengers. There are tour
ists, European and American commer
cial travelers, young men from the east
going to the southwest to try their fort
nucs. and perhaps in the rear cars some
families of emigrants. Representing the
territory are merchants, miners and cat
tlemcn of American an 1 Spanish-Ameri
can descent, while opposite the blonde
eastern lady, in her dainty traveling
habit, may sit a dark eyed olive tinted
beauty with the blood of Aragon or Cas
tile in her veins, ami perhaps a darker
and not unbecoming tiage from Indian
ancestry. Traveling theatrical com
ponies, army officers and private soldiers
on leave or on doty, and Indian delega
tions going on or returning from a visit
to the great father at Washington, are
current types in a southwest passenger
train.
Almost without exception the paaseu
gers are affable and disposed to conver
sation. Stiffness and reserve among fel
low paasengera by stage or by rail vanish
west of the hundredth meridian.
There is an excellent dinner, plentiful
and well served, at the pleasant ami

VERY RESPECTFULLY,
time allowed for the stay that the
traveler, after his ample and leisurely
meal, is able to walk about in this bar
barously brilliant scene and make bar
gain* with the brown and worldly wise
son* and daughters of the country for
such of their wares as he fancies. The
Pueblo Indiana hasten toward any one
whose eye they may catch, hold np their
good*, and address him in a language
mainly aboriginal, with perhaps a few
Spanish and American words inter
mingled, bnt the only part of the dis
course really understood on either side is
the extemporized sign language.
They ask several prices, expecting to
be beaten down to a fair rate, and they
seldom will let the possible customer get
away without consummating a trade.
Demure, swarthy Pueblo children look
on the transactions of their elders with
great interest, the larger girls helping
their mother* by carrying the very
young children in a conch made by
slinging a shawl about their necks.
IXtHAX POTTEKY.
The Indian pottery is the ware most
purchased by the passenger*. It is
quaint of pattern, and in its way mnch
of it is really beautiful. The material
of winch it is made is a white or grayish
tinted clay, which the men bring to the
women, who are the pottery makers.
The Indians guard jealously the secret
of the place* where are found the earth
that make* the choioeet kinds. The
hunter, prospector or railroad explorer '
coming suddenly upon these natives en
gaged in digging clay for the purpose is
likely to remember the terror and con
sternation which they exhibit.
The molded pottery Is buried in dry
sheep's dung, which is fired, and thus it |
is baked. The material nsed in making untl/ nnrMFMD
the striped designs is a decoction from a N, W PKN mlj
certain green root which the Indians L '
call wake. It is painted upon the ves
sels, and in the baking it turns black.
The best pottery is made by the Acoma.
Zuni and Oochiti Indians.
A gong clanks st the station, and
those passenger* who have not already
returned to the cars discontinue their
promenade or hastily conclude their
bargains. The conductor's cry ri ngs oat.
“All aboard. r and the laggards enter the
cars: but even as the train moves slowly
off the passengers are still making last
bargains from the car platforms and
through the windows with the aborig
lues, who at the fast approaching dis
appearance of their pom Me customer*
are disposed st the last moment to close
bargains at almost auy price. The train
