MEXICO.

The number of States in the Re
Irulic of Mexico is twenty-five, be
sides five territories and the Dis
triet of Mexico. The extent O
territory is set down at one hun.
dred and forty thousand three hun.
dred and seventeen square leagues,
with population of seven million
eight hundred and fifty.nine thousand
five hundred and sixty four, distri-
buted ia an average density of fifty
six to the square league. She has
ten cities, with over twenty thousand
inhabitants, viz: City Of Mexico, one
hundred and eighty-fve thousand;
Puebla, seventy thousand; Guadala-
jara, sixty-eight thousand;Ag Cal.
ina, thirty-nine thousand; Guanaiata.
thirty-seven thousand; Calina, thirty
two thousand; Queretaro, twenty
eight thousand; Oajaca, twenty-five
thousand; Merida, twenty-four thou
sand; and Morelia, twenty two thou
g and. The yield of agriculture is
est imated at two hundred and sixty
million dollars, manufacture ninety
million dollars, and gold and silver
twenty-four million dollars. The
foreign imports are twenty-eight
million dollars. The national debt
is one hundred and seventeen million,
and is annually increasing by a de-
iclt Of nine millions in the treasury.
The navy consists of fifteen vessels,
carrying forty guns, and the standing
army, when it can be made to
stand in any one place, numbers
eleven thousand seven hundred |
and fourteen men. The church pro-
perty in Mexico is estimated at three |
hundred millions, from which and |
other sources the church derives an |
annual income of eighty million Of I
dollars. These figures are obtained
from recent statistics and estimates
made by Mr. Lerdo de Tejata, an
eminent Mexican statesman, and
show what a magnificent opening for
improvement Mexico will have,
after her annexation to this Repub,
lie, should she ever choose that
course.

NEWSP APERS.
One of our Exchanges very

One of cur Exchanges very shrewd-
ly remarks that a newspaper is a
school in family worth ten dollars
a year. Even the most barren pa
per, brings something new. Children
read or hear the contents, intelligence
oe the affairs of the world, and ac.
quire useful knowledge of more I'M
portancc to them in life, than pres
en-. of fifty acres of land. Parents
are not aware of the vast Importance
of newspaper 10 a family of chill
dren. We have made the remark
before and we repeat it, that take
two families Of children equally smart
and both going to the same school,
let one Of them have the free use OF
it, and let the other be deprived of
the use of il, and it would excite as
tonishment to mark the difference be-
tween them. Full one-half, and an
important half, OF education as it re-
spects the business of the world, and
the ability to rise and make one S
self respectable in it it is derived
from newspapers. What parent
would not wish his children respecta-
BILE? Who would be willing to have
bis neighbor's children more intelll-
gent than his own? yet bow trifling is
the sum that paper costs? 1t is
even ia these hard times absolutely
contemplate in amount, and no man
ever feltit, who paid the subscription

BLUE EYES
Blue eyes are fullof danger


Blue eyes are full of danger
Beware their tender glowi q.
They'll leave thy heart a stranger
To peaceful hours below!
1warn you, men give earnest heed
Let not bright eyes your sight mislead;
And when blue eyes your glances win,
Look not too deep--too deep therein
Blue eyes with soul are beaming. :,
They'll look thee through and through
With light of love they're streaming, -
So mild, and warm, and true;
And when my heart is sore DISTRESSED
And sorrow fills my lonely breast,
Let then, blue eyes my sorrow WIN
What joy, what bliss see therein
Blne eyes from heaven are lighted
With holy, soul-born glow.
To cheer poor man benighted,
And charm him out of woe;
And when cold wintry clouds arise,
And shroud in gray the sunny skies,
Then let blue eyes my glances win
/ find my sky--my day therein!

. BUCKING AGAINST THE TIGER,

The Minnesota Legislature desired to
complete a railroad, designed to run through
their State, which had been commenced
without calculating its cost. They wanted
money for the purpose, and, reading in the
New York papers that there was plenty Of
the article in this quarter, decided to make
an attempt to secure the desired amount,
and an act was passed empowering the State
authorities to issue bonds to assist in its
accomplishment They selected as their
agent TO negotiate the bonds contractor
heavily interested in the railroad, and, about
three weeks since he arrived in this city
with securities in his possession. His first
visit was to Wall street, where he cultivated
the acquaintance of several Of our learned
money operators, and he fancied that his
prospects of reaiug the object of his visit
were good But, unfortunately, he made
another acquaintance. This was well dress
cd, talkative, plausible fellow, one of a very
large class who infest our hotels, who ap4
parently had plenty of money to spend, and
leisure time enough to do it to his entire
satisfaction. He WaS ShiRniAg roper-the
decoy duck of gambling deu, whose duty
consisted in inYeigiing greenhorns thereto
for the purpose Of fleeing them. The roper
discovered that the Westerner was exceed
ingly sharp, and it required superior tactics
to render him available. He had fought the
tiger" often, and had no scruples against
repeating the experiment.; but it vas neces-
sary to prepare him for the operation Of
skinning, and few bottles of wine accom-.
plished the urpose delightfully."-. The twain
visited the gambling house, which is located
on Broadway, and the Wosterner commenced
playing. He was completely stripped of his
money, and recklesSly introduced the sub
tiect Of his Minnesota bonds, and as the
dealer had a sure thing he consented to
: make advances thereon Maddened at what
he fanciod was his i'll luck, he drank freely,
and in few hours be lost all his bonds,
valued at one hundred and thirty six thous-
and dollars. The next day he remembered
every incident connected with the scene Of
his folly bat could not tell where the den
was located in which be had been robbed,
and it is needless to add that the roper had
disappeared
He consulted with firm of Wall street
, brokers, who heard that he was in situation
! to pay for the recovery of the bonds, nego-
. tiations Commenced and, partner Of the
; contractor having been hurried on through
by telegraphic message, they proved sue
cessful, rumor placing the amount paid to
; the gamblers at various sums from sixty to
y ninety thousand dollars
The Westerner, disguised with his expe>
i riencC, returned home with the conviction
that the New York Tiger was the most Vora-
cious animal he had encountered.
