"EIalls of the Montezumas. -

| A vast deal has been said late about 'The
Halls ofthe Montezumas," and we presume
not one i'll an hundred knows any thing ofits
derivation, or the reason gifts perpetuity. A
writer in the Philadelphia Ledger gives the
following explanation of the term. Montez-
umas ii. assembled the Mexican throne A. ID.
1902, at the age of23, before Mexico had been
discovered by Europeans. He died Both June,
1920, in the AZ year of his age of wounds in
flicted by the Spanish discoveries whom he
had invited TO his royal palace. Historians
agree in admiring his character.
On ascending the throne, not content with
the spacious residence ofhis father, he erect
ed another much more magnificent, fronting
on the PLACE Mayor ofthe present city of Mex
leo. So vast was this great structure, that,
as one of the historians informs us, the space
covered by its terraced roofmight have affor-
ded room for thirty knights to run their cour-
SEES in a regular tourney. His fathers palace
although not s., high, was 50 extensive that
the visitors were too much fitigued in wand
ering through the apartments, ever to soc the
whole oft.
The palaces were built of red stone, orna-
mented with marble, the arms oftbe MonteZ-

una family ian eagle bearing tiger in Iii
talons) being sculptured over the main en-
trance. Crystal fountains, fed by great res
ervors on the neighboring hills, played in the
vast halls and gardens, and supplied water tc
hundreds ofmarble baths in the interior of the
palaces. Crowds of mobiles and tributary
chieitains were continually saunterine
through the halls, or lettering away theil
hours in attendance on the court Rich car
wings in wood adorned the ceiling, beautiful
mats Of palm leaf covered the floors The
walls were hung with cotton richly stained
the skins of wild animals or gorgeous dra-
peries offeather work wrought in imitation
of birds, insects and flowers in radiance of
colors Clouds of incense from golden CEN
sers difiused intoxicating odors through the
| splendid apartments occupied by the nine
hundred and eighty wives and five thousand
slaves of Montezuma.
He encouraged science and learning, and
public schools were established throughout
the greater part of his empire. The city of
Mexico in his day, numbered twice as many
inhabitants as at present. aud one thousand
men were daily employed in watering and
| sweeping its streets, keeping them so clean
that man could traverse the whole city with
as little danger ofsoiling his feet as his hands
A careful police guarded the city. Exten-
sve prsenals, granaries, warehouses, an avi-
airy for the most beautiful birds, menageries,
houses for the reptiles and serpents, collect
ion of human monsters, fish ponds built of
marble, a museum and public libraries, all on
the most extensive scale, added their attract
ton to the great city of the Aztecs. Gorgeous
tempes-in which human victims were sac
rifccd, and their blood baked in bread, or
their bodies dressed for food to be devoured
by the people at religious festivals-rcared
their pyramidal affairs far above the highest
edifices. Thousands of their brother men
were thus sacrificed annually. The temple
of MaXtili, their war dog, was so constructed
that its great alarm gong, sounding to battle,
reused the valley for three leagues around,
and called three hundred thousand AZtecs to
the immediate relief oftheir monarch.
So vast was the collection of birds ofprey
in building devoted to them, that five hun
bred turkeys, the cheapest meat in Mexico,
were allowed for their daily consumption.
Such were the "IIalls ofthe Montezumas!'
The summer residence of the monarch, on
the hill of Chapoltepec, overlooking the city,
was surrounded by gardens of several miles
in extent and here were preserved until the
middle of the last century, two statues the
Emperor and his father. The great cypress
trees, under which the Aztec sovereign and
his associates once held their moonlight rev.
els, still shade the royal gardens. Some of
them fifty feet in circumference, are several
thousand years old, but are yet ms green as in
the days ofMontezuma, whose ashes, or rath-
er those ofhis ancestors, render sacred, in the,
eyes native Mexicans, the hill of Chapel
tepec. Natural decay and waning popua-
ton now mark the seat of power of the great
Montezumas. ...

Oregon---Tariff- 1.-THE British
..... Lii on.

| Mr. Darragh, ofPennsylvania, in n speech
delivered in the House ofRepresentatives, on
the Tariff, has strongly exposed the misera-
| bic, shuffliag, inconsistent course of Polk, in
regard to the Oregon queston-and has, also
shown up the fraud which was practsed in
his own State, In 1914, in regard to the tar
iff, and the uncomfortable position in which
his Loco Foco colleagues are placed towards
their constituents, if their party in Congress
should repeal the tariff of 1912. We give the
following extracts from Mr. Darraghs speech:
"Mr Chairman, as the friends of the Presi-
dent III this House have neither displayed as
constituent nor Indignation at his sudden sur
render ofAmerican rights and timid aban-
donment ofAmerican title in Oregon, it is
due to the country that some one should re-
mind him of his acts and former POSITION
The political convention which so unexpect-
eddy brought his name before the people, as
a candidate for the Presidency, pledged him
an&themseves, to the annexation of Texas
and the maintenance of our title TO the whole
ofOregon. On the steps of this Capitol, and
as soon as the oath to observe the constitu-
ton and laws ofthe United States was utter
ed and recorded, in the presence of God and
man ne programmed 10 tile WORM tudt our lltle
to Oregon was "clear and anq,testionabte," and
that he would assert and maintain it. All the
diplomatic action of the Administration
was required and exerted in order to-
prove to the American people the truth of
his inaugural address, that our title was clear
and unquestionable. The newspaper press
adopted by the Administration as their organ,
was daily employed in discoursing upon the
inaugural text; and when the Representatives
of the people came here, at the opening of
this session of Congress, the President boldly
reasserts our claim and title to $40, and SO
sure was he gifts validity that limping APP
ology is made for offering the line ofthe forty
ninth, which he instantly Withdrew, and only
offered out ofdeference to some of his prede-
cessors who had proposed it. Never was
President more promptly and vigorously sus-
tanned by his friends. Gentlemen in no polit-
zeal fellowship with the party in power look
ed at the Oregon affair as an American and
not sectional question. All or nearly all of
us, by our voices and votes, affirmed the po-
sitions of the President, and never was there
before so large amaiority cast in the way he
had advised as was given at the termination
of the Oregon debate.
What Sir, has been the end of all of this?

or has it been strangely and wan
