WASHINGTON, Aug. %. 1913.

Every thing is dull a, the Departments Just now,
several of the heads, and many OF the clerks, hav-
ing left town for the Springs. In short time,
however, the Treasury Department Will be actively
engaged in bringing up the business of the past
fiscal year, and preparing for the Secretay's re-
port.
NJ Vattemare leaves this city IN day or two.
A meeting of the citizens was held last night, at
which highly complimentary resolutions were
passed, and thanks gwen for the many valuable
presents made TO Washington by the French 60
vernment through M. Naitemere. We are CRATE
ful to learn from that gentleman that he retains
the confidence OF the present French government,
and that II has expressed an intention OF afordng
him every assistance In his phlantnropc pursuits;
Ii is rumored that certain very efficient and
able commissioner In one OF the departments VIII
shortly receive foreign mlssion-probably to
Belgium The manner In which the gentleman
has conducted himself In his present position,
certainly entities him TO some such reward.
The paragraph which has appeared IN some OF
the New York papers. processing to give exclusive
and late news from Ireland, is looked upon with
Great deal of doubt. Ii true, the news Is con-
sidered glorious but If merely an emanation
from the fertile imagination OF some scamp ii is
very reprehensible 1t may be, that the news
from Ireland which appears In the English pa
pers is not correct but that, certainly, ls
son why the papers here should imagine facts, in
order TO get up an excitement, the reaction from
which would only tend to create disgust. 1t may,
however be true and II so, we repeat, II Is glo-
nous news. OMEGA.

Mexico and the Mcxicans.


OF all our army officers who have served in the Next
can war, Gen Persfor F. Smith has had, perhaps the
largest opportunities Of forming enlightened and
impartial opinion of Mexico and the Mexicans. He
the first of generals taken from civil life to
repair to the seat Of war and the last to leave the
country after the war done. While in Mexico, he
not only upon both the Rio Grande and Vera Cruz
lines, but he was, for length Of time, military COVER
Of the city OF Mexico He not only had the adyan
tage Of seeing much of the country rs any other
officer but he in positions to bring him in contact
with the people in business way, thus enabling him
to form opinions Of their social and civil condition
General Smith speaks Of the appearance of the middle
territory of Mexico most other officers do. The
lands, are beautiful and imposing but an examina-
ton into the agricultural capacities Of the soil is not
satisfactory as the coup doh is beautiful and sub
lime The territory Is mostly composed Of elevated
plateAus hot low lands The soil Of the plaeaus is
not FERTILE and the great scarcity Of wood
upon them would make them little desirable for agr
culture, were they even more productive. Water
courses more numerous in the low lands but not
in sufficient abundance till you descend to sckly
and prostrating parallel But the middle States
better adapted TO cultivation the character Of the po
pulation upon them would make their acquisition of
little worth to any civilized people The population is
sunk in ignorance and vice beyond any process Of
demption, Whether owing to the enervating effects
Of the climate from other the great
every Mexicans life is lazness The ingenuity is not
taxed to find out new industrial processes improved
methods of accumulative labor remunerstng enter

the prociivity othe people may be go called Is employ

News FROM MExIco-The steamship Ohio
arrived yesterday from Vera Cruz, via Galveston.
We extract the following items regarding Mexican
affairs from the Gaireston Ciriiidn -
The FREQ Iris publishes a letter from the city Of
Mexico dated July 25 which speaks of the complete
suppression Of the revolution-the disarming Of the
India ns-and the discharge of the prisoners upon
their pledgipg themselves to the support CT their
verpment.
The same paper announces that most Of the idlers
left from the American army had volunteered to
in luoatan. They were enlisted under q pledge to
obey the orders Of the supreme Of MEXICO
The .7roo bis says that their comma nder is Loui
sianian, who has shown himself to be good officer
while in the service Of the United States That
congratuates the country in thus getting rid of the
dregs Of the American army, by shipping them to
Yucatan.
The FREQ Iris announces the completion of its first
volume, but declines retrospect of the year
count Of the gloomy character of it's history 1t
lies, however, upon the Almighty to remember and
punish the Americans for their bad conduct.
From the full returns appears that the election Of
officers for the frontier regiment of Texas resulted in
the selection of p. H. Bell Colonel H L. MCuloch
Lieutenant Colonel, and James S. Gillet Major

SERIOUS CHARGE. - William Donaldson, who
was arrested by Captain Winters on-Friday night
last, on the charge Of having murdered Andrew
Meehan, in the city of New York, Nov. LIST, 1917,
will probably be brought before Recorder Baldwin
to-day. At the earliest opportunity he will be sent
to New York; upon requisition from the Governor
of that State We understand that Capt Winters
yesterday received letter describing infinitely the
person and appearance of the fugitive, and that it
exactly corresponds with the appearance of the pri-
soner. Donaldson, it will be recollected, has been
for some time past the chief comic singer at the
Olympic theatre, and was attached to one of the
circus companies as clown, for short time during
the past winter

A ScENE.-Spalding's Circus arrived at Boon
vile (No) on the Sd inst, and its advent sig
nalized by a tremendous storm of wind and rain,
which caused considerable excitement among the
population of that interesting town. sudden gust
of wind striking the tent, brought it down Upon the
heads of the audience. Ladies STANDARDIZATION
cried-the pony mounted the seats amongst the
audience-mcn cut their way through the canvas,
and in their anxiety to relieve the ladies with whom
they were accompanied, many ludicrous mistakes
occurred. A young gentleman, who had accompani
ed fair one to whom he was very partial, after cut
ting through the tent reached in and drew her out
as he supposed in fainting condition, and taking
her gently in his arms, made the best of his way
over benches, spars and rigging. to a house, when,
to his infinite modification, he found his precious
charge be of rather dark complexion to suit his
IDEAS He dropped her, and made the best of his
way back; but it was too late, as some more for
tunate gallant had rescued the lady.
