MExlco.-Our young readers all know, or
should know, that dreadful civil war has
deem raging in Mexico for IA long time back.
Those who have read its history know also
that it is but a record of anarchy and convul-
sion, caused by political leaders striving for
leadership. Such is the cause Of the pres
ent bloody struggle. Such is generally the
cause of war. Mexico is a republic, like our
own government. 1t consists of twenty y-tbree
States, one territory and Federal district
similar to our District of Columbia The
religion is Roman Catholic and no, other is
tolerated. There is absolutely no education
save with the richest class. The inhabitants
consist Of five classes: /. Whites, commonly
called Creoes, descendants Of the Spaniards
They constitute the upper class. 2. De-
scendenis of Hispano-Indian parents. They
consider themselves whites, and hold Offices
under the government or belong to the mill
tary. 3. The Indians, reduced to slavery
and living in villages and constituting the
agricultural class. They speak the old
Mexican language called Aztec. 4. Mesti-
zos, or mixed races 5. Europeans and for
eigners, Spaniards being most numerous.
With such mixture Of races, and in the
absence of all education and groanng under
religious intolerance, it is not to be wondered
at that they are constantly at war with each
other, and are totally incapable of governing
themselves.

Foa orx GERMAN Fs,ENps.-Iu the issue

For oUa GERMAN FRIENDs.-In the issue
Of the Journal Of Civilization for the Oath
ult., Naet, who is himself Of German parent
age, has an illustration which possesses, as
the New York Sun remarks, greater po.lti-
cal significance than is to be found in most
of his recent productions. Senator Schuz,
frgbtfully caricatured is represented at Il pi-
ano. Through an open window is seen an
ocean steamer flying the German flag, and
under the window is the legcud, plainly in
inscribed, "Steamers 70 Germany nearly
every day. Passage cheap" In this pic
ture Henry Wilson, the Know Nothing can
didate for Vice President on the Grant ticket
is also shown dsgu sed as Uncle Sam, in the
act of saying to the distinguished Senator:
Look here, stranger, there is no law in
this country compelling you to stay" II
the iberal purposes of Wilson's party had
been carried into effect, Senator Schurz
would not even be entitled to a vote in this
country to-day, and the great body of his
countrymen who have obtained the rights OF
citizenship here would have no voice in the
choice Of public officers in their adopted
country. The old spirit of Know Nothing
sm crops out in all it's original bigotry in this
contribution TO the Grant arguments OF the
campaign, the alusion to the cheap fares to
Germany being an intin alton to all German
voters, as well as to Senator Schurz, that it
they are not satisfied with Grant they had
better clear out and go back to Germany,
instead Of meddling with matters in which
they have no concern. Whether such exhi-
bitions of intolerance will help Grants pros
poets, however, is another matter. .-E.ram-

IMPORTANT CHANGE.-The San Francisco
Reel Estate CUculdr contains this:
In e,ling legal instruments it has hereto
fore been the practice TO afiix the seal by
merely making q scrawl with a pen, with
the word ''seal'' written within it, or write
the initials 81. s." This practice has the
authority Of several decisions Of our Supreme
Court. 1t is matter of grave doubt, how
ever, whether this is now sufficient, because
that part of the political Code" now in
force provides that, ''when the the seal of
Court, public officer or person is required
by law to be affixed to any paper, the word
seal includes an impression or such seal up
on the paper alone as well as upon wax Or
wafer affixed thereto" 1t wonld seem from
this that scrawl is no longer sufficient, but
llat seal of some kind, or its impression
upon wax, or on the paper, is essential We
would advise strict compliance with this
provision Of the Code; it may save much
after trouble,

IMMENSE FARMS. There are three wheat
farms in the San Joaquin valley with areas
respectively Of 36 600 acres, % 900 acres
AMI II 900 acres. On the largest Of these
farms the wheat crop this year is rcputed TO
be equal to an average of 40 bushels to the
acre, the yield on some parts of the farm
running up to GO bushels. The product Of
this farm for the present year is ,44o ,000
bushels. The boundary on one side Of this
farm is about II miles long. AT the season
of plowng ten four-horse teams were attached
to ten gang -plows, each gang having tour
plows--or forty horses with as many plows
were started at the same time, the teams
following in close succession. Lunch or
dinner was served at midway station, and
supper at the terminus of the field, seventeen
miles distant from the starting point. The
teams returned on the following day. The
wheat in this immense field was cut with
twenty of ,uv largest reopers, end we believe
has now all been hreshed and put in sacks.
1t would require over forty ships of medium
size to transport the wheat raised on this
farm to a foreign market. Stockton Repub-
