r Morning in Mexico is a season of de
light. The weather is usually so pleas
ant and unchangeable that our North
American salutation “it’s a fine day,” is
unknown to the Mexican. If such a re
mark js made he seems surprised and will
answer, “one day is like another here,
and all days are fine.” Even in the rainy
season I was told the showers fall at night
and the days are clear and unclouded.
But the morning has the most enchanting
atmosphere; there is a buoyant freshness
in the air, the skies are blue, the sun
shine delicious, as tempering the chill
which is inseparable from night and
shade, in the high altitudes of the capi
tal.
Being within the tropics the sun rises
and sets at nearly the same hours every
day in the year. After sunset it soon be
comes dark. The people go to bed early.
The pulque shops are closed early by law,
and about the only loitering places are
the restaurants. There is a prejudice ]
against the night air, and few persons are
in the streets after dark, though the city
it well lighted by electricity.
The work ot street sweeping, which
our people are accustomed to do at night,
the Mexicans postpone until the fresh
and early hours of the morning. It is
done with hand brooms by a large force
of peons—so thoroughly done that noth
ing better in Uie way of clean pavements
is to bq wished’ for. Blocks of grayish
volcanic rock, cut in large squares and
laid diagonally across the carriage way,
form the pavement. The same kind of
pavement is to be seen in Rome, Naples
and in ancient Pompeii. The size of the
blocks suggest to the Northern eye dan
ger from breakage, but as the vehicular
traffic' of the city, though great in vol
ume, is not heavy in weight, the stones
remain unimpaired. "

MEXICAN STREET MERCHANT.
For several days during my sojourn in
the city workmen were engaged in mov
ing from the Vera Cruz Railroad station
to the national museum a great basaltic
porphyry idol—tho “Goddess of Water.”
An Aztec idol of uncouth appearance,
strangely and intricately carved, it came
from the region south of Tlaxcala, where
Cortes found his first resistance and af
terward his most approved and courage
ous allies. Its weight, by the railway
scales, was twenty tons. Boilers, mono
liths and ponderous machinery of great
weight are moved on trucks by the use of
horses without much ado in our North
ern cities. In Mexico it was slung as it
rested on iron rails from under the axles
of a vehicle with wheels ten feet
in diameter, and moved slowly by
horses and capstans over a rail
road track laid down upon the
pavement. A guard of soldiers, almost
as numerous as the gang of workmen,
were observant of the work. The idol,
advanced about a block a day, and was a
fortnight in getting into position. Un
doubtedly it is the heaviest object trans
ported through the streets of Mexico
since the days before the conquest, when
relays of Aztecs, thousands in number,
laboriously brought the great cnloadar or
sacrificial stone to the teocalll where
Montezuma, and the priests who pre
ceded him, performed the death-dealing
rites of their gloomy religion. There are
few, very few, manufactories—the bust
ling, steam propelled, coal-consuming,
iron-requiring factories of modern times
—in Mexico. There are few of the
great wholesale and distributing houses
of our commercial cities to fill the streets
with numerous vans and loads of mer-

log cars being as yet not introduced into
Mexico. Everything was at hand except
coffee, and this was to be seryed at
Ayotla, a station' fifteen xntles out. A
baud of music was oh‘board, consisting
of six violins, four guitars, four clari
onets, two bass viols snd six brass herns.
The company disembarked for their cof
fee snd the band played outside the sta
tion. The sun was just ' rising, lighting
up the snowy peak of Popocatapetl in
the immediate background, the shadows
being quite deep upon its western side.
The other volcano, Iztaccibuatl, is con
nected with the greater one, the ridge
which unites them being twoorthiee
miles long.
Iztaccibuatl is an Indian word, mean
ing “the white lady.-”' At sunrise in the
morning the long ridge of the mountain,
covered with snow, bears a resemblance
to the form of a woman, shrouded in
white. The feet are nearest to Popo
catapetl, the head farthest away. The
resemblance is not so apparent aa the sun
mounts higher and the shadows fall in
other directions, but the figure of a
woman is much more plainly to be made
out at all times than la Antony's Nose on
the Hudson, or the man's head on Mt.
Washington.
While drinking the coffee and looking
at the wonderful mountain acenery, the
band begins its concert. A peon acts as
mutio stand. Ho holds a sheet in bis
hands for the clarionet, and has pinned
to his back, or to the reft scrape on his
back, two other sheets for the brass
horns. He guards his face from the ait
of the clarionet by holding the music as
a shield, but he cannot protect himselt
from the brass horns which assail him
from the rear. Nevertheless he standi
perfectly still in the centre of this wind
blast. The music has t either charmed or
paralyzed him.
Popocatapetl—an Aztec word meaning
the mountain that smokes—has an eleva
tion of 17,720 feet, or 1945 foot higher
than Mt. Blanc, which Byron “crowned
monarch of mountains.” It has not been
in eruption since 1540, twenty years aftei
the conquest by Cortez. A variable
colnmn of smoke ascends from it. Tbs
entire mountain is owned by a gentle
man who resides in ths City of Mexico.
He derives a revenue from the sulpbui
mined from the crater, and also from the
charcoal which is burned from the wood
that grows upon the mountain side, be
low the snow line.

benefit of visitors a large area consisting
of a great central hall, which under able
management would prove one of the
special attractions of the tower. The
hall would be of an octagonal form,
20,000 feet area and sixty feet high, the
spaces between the eight legs of the
tower at the angles of the octagon form
ing eight recesses for restaurants, manage
ment rooms, etc. Over the recesses, and
clustertd found the central hall, the
authors suggest the construction of a
hotel, "of ninety bed-rooms, with all
necessary baths and other accommodation.
As the; special features which the hotel
could offer would be the advantages of
pure air, sun-light and open prospects,
the whole of the bed rooms have been
placed on the external faces of the tower,
The restaurants on the main platform
would provide dining accommodation,
one being especially set apart for the use
of residents, and tho kitchens would be
arranged on the mezzanines over the

Here Christ advises HU apostles to take a

for longer or shorter time multitudes of our
people will have summer vacation. Tho rail

the rustle of the ball-room dance and tho
clattering hoofs of tho race courses attest
that tho season for the great American
watering-places is fairly inaugurated.
Music—flute and drum nml cornet-a-piston
and clapping cymbals—will wake tho echoes
of the mountains.
(Had I am that fagged out American life

"Come ye yourselves apart into a desert

But 1 have to declare this truth to-day,
that some of our fashionable watering places
are the temporal mid eternal destruction of
“a multitude that no man can number,” and
amid the congratulations of this season
and tho prospect of the departure of many
of you for thecountry I must utter a note
of warning—plain, earnest nu I unmistak

The first lomplntion that is apt to hover
in this direction is to l ave your piety all at

starved and suffocated, lying stretched an
the rug stark dead. There is no surplus of
piety at tho watering places. I never knew
any one to grow very rapidly in grace at the
fashionable summer resort. It is generally
the esse that the Habbsth is more of a ca
rousal than any other day, and there aro
Sunday walks and Sunday rides and Sunday

consequently the pavements of Mexico
wear well, are smooth and clean.
Mexico is 7350 feet above the level
the sea. The descend—"bajada”—from
the city, ns the railroad time-tables put
it, Lhst is, to go down toward the coast,
either toward the Atlantic on the east, or
the Pacific on the west, the circle of vol
canic mountains which surround the Val
ley of Mexico must first be climbed. It
is the most remarkable range of vol
canoes in the world, forming a rampart
os a parallel sixteen miles south of the
city.
They are not all in sight from ths
capital, because Popocatapetl, the high
est mountain in Mexico, and Iztaccihnntl,
Its companion and neighbor, shut out the
view. The traveler need not journey far
to the eastward before Orizaba, the most
symmetrical snow-shrouded cone in the
list ot mountains, with its crater shin
ing like a star in the night, will be seen
towering up in the sky. If he goes
westward soon tho peak of the volcano
of Toluca will present itself, which is
united by a chain of smaller volcanoes
with Iztaccibuatl and completes ths in
closure. It is the strangest sight, this
circle of volcanoes, and ouo that has ar

geographers, both, before and sibce the

sary to start the day before and stop ovet
night at the sulphur miner's cabin, just
below the snow line. The discomforts
of a night here are something that few
care to endure, and the climb through
the snow up the icy crater next morning
Is very trying. The atmosphere is thin
on account of the enormous elevation,
and only strong men can stand it. Ths
sulphur odors have also to be endured,
and as a few incline to such hardships,
not more than a score of men have stood
on the top of Popocatapetl since the day
that Diego de Ordaz, under the command
of Cortez, made the first ascent in the
year 1519. The Emperor, Charles V.,
allowed Ordaz to use a flaming volcano
on bis eacutcbeon. As Cortez says no
one could reach the top of the mountain
on account of the vast accumulation of
snow at that time, it is probable that
Ordez boasted of something he did not
parform. In that case the brothers Fred
erick and William Glennie, who climbed
it in 1887, are the first who should be
credited with having reached the sum
mit.
All who undertake to go up the
mountain first get a permit fiom the
owner and an order to his sulphur
miners to render assistance. Then they
go by railroad to Amecameca,twenty-five
miles or so from Mexico, and there equip
themselves with extra clothing, poniet,
etc., and begin the wearisome ascent.
At this beautiful village at the foot of
the mountain there is a lofty rock or
hill, r,acred by ancient tradition, on
whose top is a church. Many people
make pilgrimages to this church at Arne-
csmeca.
We do not slop there except to take
more coffee and look at the mountains
from a new and nearer point of view.
In the fields, rich with a dark, volcanic
soil, the bare legged peons arc plowing.
The plow ii a stick set into a heavy
beam. Horses and exen pull it. It is
aa mtlquated sort of plow,such as Abra
ham might hara used in the days when
he was the most advanced farmer of the
world. Those who have teen Egypt say
the scene reminds them of that ancient
land. It has a strange look.. The fields
arc full of peons cultivating the ground,
and the vegetation might very well be

their motions are quick, sad their indus

Once Niagara Ran Dry.
It seems almost incredible,says a writer
in Oolden Days, that at one time in
its history the greatest and most wonder'
ful waterfall in the world actually ran
dry. Nevertheless it is an established
fact that this occurred on March 89,
1848, and for a few hours scarcely any
water passed over Niagara Falls. To
thoroughly appreciate this astonishing
phenomenon it should be remembered
that the estimated average amount of
water passing over these falls is 508,500
tons per minute. The winter of that year
had been an exceptionally severe one,
and ice of an unusual thickness had
formed on Lake Erie. The warm spring
rains loosened this congealed mass, and
on the day in question a brisk east wind
drove the ice far up into the lake. About
sunset the wind suddenly veered around
and blew a heavy gale from the west.
This naturally turned the ice in ita
course, and bringing it down to the
mouth of the Niagara River, piled it up
in a solid, impenetrable wall. So closely
was it packed and so great was its force
that in a short time the outlet to the lake
was completely choked up, and little or
no water could possibly escape. In a very
short space of time the water below this
frozen barrier passed over the falls, and
the next morning the people residing in
the neighborhood were treated to a most
extraordinary spectacle. The roaring,
tumbling rapids above the falls were al
most obliterated, and nothing bat the
cold black rocks were visible in all direc
tions. The news quickly spread, and
crowds of spectators flocked to view tha
scene, the banks on each side of the river
being lined with people during the whole
day. At last there came a break in tha
ice; it was released from its restraint, tha
wall of pent-up waters rushed forward,
and Niagara was itself again.

Pathetic Story of a Neglected Poet
It it pathetie to read of the posthu-
moua fame of Adam Lind -ay Gordon, the
Australian poet. Twenty years have
passed since, red deed to dire pecuniary
straits, he shot himself on Brighton
Beach, near Melbourne, Australia. Now
we are informed, on the authority of the
circulating libraries, that his poetical
worki are “extremely popular’’ in the
wealthy city where be starred when alive.
The Australian publishers have made a
fortune out of the fresh and vigorotu
poems that brought their author little, if
any, recompense.
Hpre is an instance of the contemp
tuous indifference with which Gordon'!
remarkable gift of open-air song was
treated daring bis lifetime. One of the
leading Australian dailies thus noticed
his “Bush Ballads” on their first publica
tion! “We have received a volume of
poeihs entitled ‘Bush Ballads,’ by A. L.
Gordon. The book is highly creditable
to the printer, the papermaker and the
binder.” The same journal published
within the past few years, without a
klush or an apology of any soti, two
columns of a glowing eulogy of the Lon
don edition of Gordon's poems. It is the
old story of the stoning of the prophets,
of Keats and the Quarterly, of the mar-
ble honors that are reserved for a man's
ashes, and the tribute that comes just •
lifetime too late.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

Another temptation around nearly all our
watering places is the hors• racing business.
We all admire the horse. There needs to lie
a redistribution of coronets anion; the brute
creation. For ages the lion has been called
the king of beasts. I knock off its coronet
and put the crown upon the horse, in every
way nobler, whether in shape or spirit or
sagacity or intelligence or affection or mo-
fulness. He is semi-human, and knows how
to reason on n small scale. Tho centmr of
olden times, part horse and part man, seem-
to be a suggestion of the fact that the horse
is something more than a beast.
But we do not think tliat the speed of the
horse should be cultured at tho expense ot
human degradation. Horse rac-s in olden
times were under the ban ot Christian |>eo-
plr, and in our day the same institution lias
come tip under fictitious names, and it is
called a “summer meeting.” almost suggos
live of positive re'igious exerci cs. An I it
is called an “agricultural fair," suggestive
of everything that is improving in the art of
farming. But under these deceptive titles
aro the same cheating and the same betting,
the same drunkenness and same vagabond
age, and tho same abominations that wore
to be found under tho old horse racing sys
tem.
I never knew a man yet who could give
himself to tho pleasures of the turf for a
long reach of time and not be battered in
morals. They hook np their spanking team,
and put on their sporting cap, and light their
cigar, and take the reins, and dash down the
road to perdition. Tho groat day at Sara
toga ana long Branch and Capo May, and
nearly all the other watering places, is the
day of the races. The hotels are thronged,
nearly every kind of eauioave is taken no at
mi aioioex rauuioua price, an i mere are
many respectable people mingling with
jockeys and gamblers and libertines mid
foul-mouthed men and flashy women. The
bar tender stirs vp the brandy smash. The
bets run high. The greenhorns, supposing
all is fair, put in their money scan enough
to lose it. Three weeks before the race
takes pines the struggle is decided, and the
men in the secret know ou which steed to
bet their money. The two men on the borsea
riding around long before arranged who shall
beat.
Leaning from the stand or from the car
riage arc men and women soabnorbe.l in the
struggle of bone and muscle an I mettle that
they make a grand harvest for the pick

ruin—black nock, black foot, black flank.
Neck and neck they go in that morel Epsom.
Ah, my friends, have nothing to do with
horse racing dissipations this summer. Long
ago the English Government got through
looking to tho turf for the dragoon and light
cavalry horse. They found the turf depreci
ates the stock, and It ii yet worse for men.
Thomas Hughes, the Member of Parliament
and the nutnor, known all the world over,
hearing that a new turf enterprise was being
started in this country, wrote a letter In
which he said: “Heaven help you, then: for
of all the cankers of our old ci vilization there
U nothing in this country approaching in un
blushing meanness, in rascality holding its
high head, to this belauded institution of ths
British turf."
I go further and speak of another tempta
tion that hovers over the watering places,
and this it the temptation to sacrifice physi
cal strength. The modern Betbesda was
meant to recuperate the physical health, and
yet how many come from the watering
placet, their health absolutely destroyed!

good books that are easy to read—books of
congenial history, books ot pure fun, books
of poetry ringing with merry canto, books of
fine engravings, books that will rest the
mind as well as purify the heart and elevate
the whole life? My hearers, there will not
be an hour between this and the day of your
death when you can afford to read a book
lacking in moral principle.
Another temptation hovering all around

HOW TO ESCAPE fNTBMPERANCE.

of meeting in the wilds of Australia a shep

finiNKTNO AND AFOPLEXT.
The Irish World presente to its readers
the following wholesome lesson concerning
alcohol and apoplexy:
"It is the essential nature of all wines and
spirits to send an increased amount of blood
to the brain. The first effect of taking a
glass of wine or stronger form of alcohol is
to send the blood there faster than common.
Hence the circulation that gives the red face.
It increases the activity of the braid and it
works faster, and so does the tongue, but as
the blood goes faster than common to the
brain, it returns faster, and no immediate
harm may be done. But suppose a man
keeps on drinking; the blood is sent to the
brain so fast in large quantities that in order
to make room for it tho arteries have to
charge themselves. They increase in size,
nnd, in doing so, they press against the more
yielding, flaccid veins which carry the blood
out of the brain, and diminish the size of the
pores—the result being that the blood is not
only carried to the arteries of the brain faster
than is natural or healthful, but is prevented
from leaving it ns fast, os usual. Hence a
double set of causes of death ore in opera
tion. Hence a man may drink enough
brandy or other spirit* in a few hours, or
even minutes, to bring on a fatal attack of
apoplexy. This is being literally dead
drunk.”

My friends, whether you tarry nt home—
which will lie quite na rnfe and perhaps quite
ns comfortable—or go into the country, arm
yourselves against temptation. The grace
of God is tho only satu shelter, whether in
town or country. There are watering places
accessible to nil of us. You cannot open a
hook of tho Bible without finding out some
such watering place. Fountains open for
sin and uncloanliness; wells of sefvation;
streams from Lebanon; a flood struck out of
tho rock by Moses; fountains in tho wilder
ness discovered by Hagai-; water to drink
and water to bathe id; the river of God,
which is full of water; water of which if a
man drink bo shall never thirst; wells of
w ater in tho Valley of Baca; living fountains
of water; a pure river of water as dear os
crystal from under tho throne of God.
These are watering places accxsible to all
of us. Wo do not have a laborious packing
up before we start—only the throwing away
of our transgressions. No expensive hotel
bille to pay; it is “without money nnd with
out price." No long and dirty travel before
we get there; it is only one step away. In
California in five minutes I walked around
and aaw ten fountains, all bubbling up, and
they wore all different. And in five minutes
I can go through this Bible parterre nnd find
you fifty bright, sparkliug fountains bub-
bliug up into eternal life.
A chemist will go to one of those summer
watering places and take the water and ana
lyze It, and tell you that it contains so much
of Iron, and so much of soda, and to much of
lime, and so much of magnesia. I come to
this Gospel well, this living fountain, and

T JBACE GREELEVS OPINION.
Tn 1 >7 Horace Greeley said in the New
York t ribune: ... ,
For our own part we are opposed to legal
izing the manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquors for medical, mechanical or any other
purpose. There is no need of it and great
harm in it. That alcohol may be used in
various contingencies, we do not dispute;
for arsenic, opium nnd other poisons are so,
and it is not probable that this single mem
ber of the family should have no good end
whatever. Let alcohol--pure undiluted al
cohol—be mannfntured and sold without
license. Let doctors and others use it as they
shall see flt, but this undisguised poison no
one would drink; and we protest against all
tampering with, coddling it up and disguis
ing it so that the ignorant, the simple, the
victims of depraved appetite shall be tempted
to imbibe it when they woull reject the
naked poison. All such weaving of snares
for the feet of the unweary is nndefens''-'' is
demoniac, and ought to be prohibited by
law.
