which have been set adoat II was LOST on II
street, between the Arlington hotel and Sixteen
and'a-hali street. Mr.. EvartS and Mr.. Fish were
in a carriage together. and ii was dropped by
them. They knew it was in the carriage while
they were passing the hotel, and, when they
missed II at the last named place, they turned
back Immediately and made search for the vol
ume. Within the distance OF the block and
hall where they knew they lost 1t, IT could not
be found. They had met, in riding over the dis
lance, one street car and two market wagons,
and no one else could have passed along the
same street VII Inc Searcn was maze, VI course
there was good deal OF anxiety about 1t for
awhile and proper efforts were made to discover
It's whereabouts, Dut without success IL was
believed that me driver oil one OF the market
wagons had picked II up, and, entirely Ignorant
OF It's nature, had done with 1t lust what he
would Wl'h any other Nolume. Whatever DE-
came OF IT, there are facts winch render 1t pretty
certain that 1t was NOT used IN any manner adj
verse to the interest OF our government. These
simple Facts are the only foundation for the ro-
mances published or TO be published, all else
beng pure fiction.
A subsequent dispatch 10 the Times SAYS that
no blame should be attributed to Mr.: Fish, as
the volume was not in his charge at the time.

or the general situation be SAYS:

"Iu a military way the position so far con-
tinues to be decidedly favorable to the final tri-
umph of the government. There is a vast deal
Of wretchedness caused all over the country by
the depredations of small bands Of scoundrels
WHIP ''pronounce" in some helpless little village
'ior the plan Of La Noria," and forthwith scour
the Misunderstanding, numbering and per-
petrating outrages Of every sort. But this erup-
ton Of villainy gives no support to Porfrio Diaz
at O9jaca or to Treyino at Saltllo, Since the
former published his preposterous "manilesto"
there have been no more important desertions to
him from the army, and within the past week
sundry squads Of his men have come over to
the government. Industry and commerce are
utterly Frustrated, This is the busiest portion
OF the year usually in Mexico, but IT is slipping
away barren, and the destitution in the chief
towns Is truly heartrending. The skies are as
beautiful as ever were the skies of Italy. The
people are ncomparabiy more ioIlorn and mis-
cradle than ever were the people of Italy in their
worst estate, Those who have seen the marvel
lous progress made by Italy in the last twenty
years will hesitate, it is true, to despair even of
Mexico But it seems bitter moekery Just now
to speak OF hesedilapidated towns, these crumhs
ling and squalid huts, these foadways tumbling
daily into ruin, these deserted fields, as belong
ing to the "new world" There is nothing
older, nothing more decripit between the pillars
Of Hercules and the Golden Horn save the cap
ital of Attoa and the 1hessalian plains.

that our mechanics, merchants, farmers,
