IDEA OF MEXICAN WEALTH.

EfOtu the L raves OF f1umh0Qt
This traveller affirms that the riches
of Mexico are infinitely superior 10 those
OF Peru. | know of no Peruvian family
lsays hey 10 the possession of fixed and
certain revenue ofI30,00 francs, $4,000
doliars) but in Mexico there are indi-
vidaals who possess no mines, and whose
revenue amounts TO million OF francs,
100000 doliars.) The family Of the
Count de la Valenciano possesses alone,
on the ridge Of the Andes, property
worth 25 millions of francs, 5000, 900
dollars, without including the mine OF
VaIeuciano, which yields, one year with
another, nett revenue Of 100000 livres,
100000 dollars.)
The Count de -Regia built, at his own
expense, two vessels Of The largest size,
worth 100000 dollars, aud presented them
10 the King of Spain.
The family of Fogoaga, well known
for It's beneicence, intelligence, and zeal
for the public good, exhibits tue example
Of the greatest wealth which was ever
derived from mine. A single veif
which the marquis of Fagoaga possesses
in the district Of Sombredath. left in five
or six months, all charges deducted, a
nett profit of millions Of dollars.
The European reader will be still more
astonished, when inform him of the ex-
traordinary fact that this family lent,
about the year 1900, a sum Of more than
three millions and half of franrs
100000 dollars without interest, to a
friend whose fortune they believed would
be made by it in solid manner.
To complete the view Of the immense
wealth centered in the hands of few in,
dividuals in Mexico, il is only necessary
TO add, that, amongst instances Of indi
vidual opulence, nine clergy men. only
possess an annual income, collectively, O
$4,000 dollars--a sum almost equal te
the whole expenses Of the civil govern
ineHs Of the United States.

friend impart the main secret, and declined
the profered service; yet, as true love is
seldom at a loss for the means of inven-

HARD TIMES-HARD TiNfES-HARD
TIMES.
The cry Of Hard Times SO frequently
meets the ear, that my curiosity led me,
the other day, to examine into The fact
and the cause Of it as far as regards this
city. The first objects which arrested
my attention were two banks. Inquiring
of an intelligent friend concerning their
operations, 1 was told that their capital
was loaned out, and principally in this
city, Oh notes drawing six per cent. inter-
est, and payable in sixty days--These
loans were made to merchants, farmers,
mechanics, professional men, &c. &c.
and that much more could be loaned, had
the banks the capacity TO crafty all the
borrowers. said TO myself, if people are
thus indebted, and all their debts are on
interest, no wonder the cry is,
Hard times Hard times Hard times.
To walking down Chapel-street about
IL o'clock, my attention was arrested by
a great number of Ladies, elegantly dress
ed, with gold watches gracefully suspend,
ed at their sides, which seemed to me 10
announce not only the time Of day, buf
also
Hard times-H Hard times-Hard times.
In returning through the same street, l
was struck with the display of from fifty
to sixty Leehorn bonnets, trimmed in the
modern fashion, and affording shade to
the side walks almost equal to SO many

THE VAMPIRE.


Captain Stedman was, while in Surf
nam, attacked during his sleep by one oil
these animas--and, as his account of this
incident is somewhat singular, and tends
to elucidate the fact, we shall extract It
in his own language, from his narrative.
/" | cannot here (says hey forbear relating
a singular circumstance respecting my
self, viz. that, on waking one morning
about o'clock, in my hammock, | was
extremely alarmed in finding myself
weltering in congealed blood, and with
out feeling any pain whatever. Having
started up, and rung for the surgeon,
with fire brand 10 one hand, and all
over besmeared with gore; TO which, if
added my pale face, short hair, and tat
tered apparel, he might we'll ask the
question,
Be thou spirit of health, or goblin damn'd--
Bring'st with thee airs of heaven, or blasts from
hell
The mystery, however, was, that /
had been bitten by the Vampire, or spec
ire of Guinea, which is also called the
flying dog of New Spain, and by the
Spaniards perroyoiador This is no
other than bat, Of monstrous size, that
sucks the blood from men and cattle
while they are fast asleep, even some
times till they die {; aud as the manner in
which they proceed is truly wonderful, !
shall endeavour to give distinct account
of it. Knowing by instinct, that the
person they intend to attack is in a sound
slumber, they generally alight near the
feet, where, while the creature continues
tanning with his enormous wings, which
keeps one cool, he bites piece out OF the
great toe, so very small indeed, that the
head of pin could scarcely be received
into the wound, which is consequently
not painful; yet through this orifice, he
continues to suck the blood until he is
obliged to disgorge. He then begins
again; and thus continues sucking and
disgorging till he is scarcely able to fly !;
and the sufferer has often been known to
sleep from time TO eternity. Cattle they
generally bite 10 the ear, but always ia
places where the blood flows spontane-
ously. Having applied tobacco ashes as
the best remedy, and washed the gore
from myself and my hammock, | observed
several small heaps of CONCEALED blood
all around the place where I had lain,
upon the ground; on examining which the
surgeon judged that had lost at least IL
or Ia ounces during the night"

Scruple of Conscience.-An old Ger
man Kaight. in the first half Of the 7ttl
century, when enormous goblets were
among the chief ornaments of the rooms
and tables Of the mobiles, sat once at table
next TO his young wife in a numerous
company, where the bottle went continue
ally round, and large goblet was TO be
enptied each time, 90 pain Of being con-
temned as false brother by the guests,
who we're used 10 be very strict ID this
point. Tie wife, who had received a
more polished education, whispered TO
her husband, when it again came to his
turn to empty an enormous glass, to pour
the wine secretly under the table. The
others will see ill., said he. His wife
therefore, just as be was raising the glass
10 his mouth, snuffed out the candle, and
repeated her request. Instead Of COM
plying, he said with kind Of solenuiiy,
God sees it, and emptied the goblet.
