country. All the intelligent and
cultured Mexicans were Free
thinkers, and had long ago dis
carded religious prejudiceS. Hence,
the ruling powers did not care what
the saints believed as to religious
matters. AS to polygamy, he
thought the Mexican men would
not object to it. The women would
rebel against such doctrines, but
they might be won over, as were
Anglo-Saxon women, who are the
most enthusiastic advocates of Nor
monism. The leaven of Protest
antism which has strongly perme-
ated Mexico will aid the Mormons,
as it has already broken open a road
into the very heart of the republic.
The Chronicles informant stated
that the proportion of the sexes in
that republic was about seven males
to ten females, and that the relative
figures on the part of the latter
were increasing yearly, owing to
continued revolutions and the more
exposed and dangerous occupations
of the men. The advocates of
polygamy would undoubtedly seize
upon these facts to further their
scheme.
The Mexicans anxiously desired
population and prosperity, and the
Mormons promised to bring these
two requisites to the country. They
would largely inter-marry with the
Mexican women, and the offspring
OF such unions would become, in
part, the future rulers of the
country. The Mexicans have no
objection to an influx of Auglo-
Saxon blood-in fact, rather like it
if not forced upon them at the
point Of the bayonet. Hundreds
of Americans, Englishmen and
Germans are married to Mexican
women, and the unions have in a
majority of cases been happy and
blessed with large families. So far
as experience goes, the women of
that country like to marry foreign
ers, and it is the universal testi-
mony that they make excellent
wives. Monogamy is the only
marital condition of the sexes recog-
nized by the laws of the republic,
and how the government would
deal with open and established
polygamy is a question of the future.
Mexican public opinion in such
matters is very liberal. The views
herein given were very freely ex-
pressed by the gentleman inter
viewed. .o

bunting from every spar Of the
steamers and from every point Of
the barges that bore their tens of
thousands ofpatriotic followers over
the waters of the Hudson to all the
picnic parks in our vicinity. This
was prompted by a spirit Of enligh-
tened patriotism, by which they
would give You Irish Protestants to
understand that they recognize your
rights as Irishmen, and that your
religion is no bar to their friend

The Gres, Wall Of China

Kalgan commands one of the
passes through the great wall of
China. 1t is there built Of large
stone, cemented together with NOR
tar. 1t tapers toward the top, be-
ing twenty one feet high and
twenty-eight feet wide at the foun-
dation. At the most important
points, less than a mile apart,
square towers are erected, built of
bricks. 1t winds over the crest of
the mountains, crossing the valleys
at right angles, blocking them with
Notifications. The Chinese esti-
mate its length to be about $500
miles, but in parts more remote
from Pekin the wall is of inferior
construction. There is nothing but
a dilapidated mud rampant, as Col.
Prejevalsky saw it on the borders
of ALASKAN and Ksnsu. 1t is said
to have been built upward of two
centuries before Christ to protect
the empire against the inroadS of
the neighboring Nomads, but the
periodical irruptions of the bar
barians were never checked by this
artificial barrier.

MORMONISM AND MEXICO,
A wealthy Mormon Purehasing
Land In Si0HlOs and sonora
San Franriseo Chroniela Juiv

A Wealthy. Mormon PuSehasing
Land IN Si0HlOs and sonora
San Francisco Chronicle, JulJ 81 ..
Three months ago a wealthy
Mormon called at the Office of the
Mexican consulate in this city, for
the purpose Of procuring informa-
ton in regard to land and land
titles in Mexico, as he was en- route
for that country, and intended pur-
chasing farming and grazing tracts
in the State Of Sinaloa or Durango.
Receiving the intelligence needed,
he started for Mazatlan, taking with
him letters Of introduction to
prominent Mexicans. Upon arriv-
ing there, Mormon-like, he imme-
diately proceeded to business, and
was successful in purchasing large
bodies of land in both the States
mentioned. The gentleman re-
turned by the last steamer, and on
the 9TH instant departed for Salt
Lake City TO make a report to the
Mormon authorities. Parties who
conyersed with him say that he is
highly pleased with Mexico, and
that he says the TERRA templada, or
temperate zone Of that country,
where the Mormons intend to To-
cate, ia a perfect paradise. The
first Mormon colony has already
reached Hermosilio, the principal
city Of Sonora, on its way to some
defined point beyond. There is now
a chain of Mormon settlements
extending from Utah, through
Arizona, into Mexico.
A Chronicle reporter called upon
o prominent Mexican yesterday,
whose opinion upon the Mormon
hegira to Mexico will interest the
public, as he is undoubted author
ity. He said he believed the Mexi-
cans would gladly welcome the Nor
mons, as the latter were sober and
industrious, and woald rapidly de-
yelop the immense resources Of the

sentially like other animal life; it
requires food to eat, air to breathe,
and minerals from which to elabo-
rate its framework. Careful expe-
riment has solved the difficulty: the
surface-living nutriment descends
after death; slowly and laboriously
the life sustaining oxygen makesits
way from the surface to the depths
where cold and darkness reign, and
as slowly the poisonous carbonic
acid--the result alike Of life and
death-makes its way to the sur
face. Thus, just such life as can
exist under the difficult conditions
there present, does exist in enor-
nous extent.

Mrs. S. B. Herrick, in Scribner for July.l
The mystery Of deep sea life lies
in the fact that there are multitudes
of representatives Of the animal
world, which, in virtue of their ami
mality, are incapable Of nourishing
themselves upon inorganic matter,
yet which are living miles below the
limit at which vegetable life ceases.
Some Of the organisms found in
deep sea soundings are undoubtedly
of a vegetable nature; but these are
surGace-llying diatoms, or other
forms, which sink when they die.
This animal life at the sea-bottom
is capable of appropriating as food
the organic matter held dissolved in
the ocean water, as we'll as the inor-
ganio substances necessary for the
formation of its skeleton and the
gases required for respiration. For
life at the bottom Of the sea is es-

matterwhich way lie turned, there
seemed no loop hole through which
he could escape a violent death.
The mob was past control. He
struck the iron balustrade in his
descent, but failing to grasp it, he
fell on the pavement below, bruised
and senseless, in the midst of the
mob. a'''
At first he was believed to have
been killed by the fall, but upon
subsequently showing some vitality
such as were opposed to mob vlo-
lence hastened to carry him to the
Jail as being the place where he
would be most secure. After night
fall rumor got into circulation
that Judson was not seriously hurt;
that he had fully revived, and was
to be secretly conveyed from the
Jail and put upon steamboat then
ready to leave the city, and this
rumor SO excited and infuriated the
mob that it rushed frantically for
the Jail and got Judson out Of it in
no time. lie could neither stand
nor walk, yet was he carried off to
the public square to be hung to an
awning post. Three times was he
hung up by the mob, and as often
was he cut down by some unknown
person in the crowd. At last he
was carried back to Jail in an in
sensible state the mob having
been made to believe he was sure
to die in a few hours from the ef-
fects of his fall dispersed.
To the general surprise, "Ned
Buntline" got we1. 1t was won

He was put on trial previous to
the day given out for it, and was
acquitted upon the ground that he
killed Porterfeld in self-defense
He was conveyed secretly on board
Of a steamboat, and had got off ere
the mob suspected what was going
on.
Subsequently, he turned his at
tention to the writing Of sensational
and ''hash" novels, and started a
newspaper in New York city. "Ned
Buntline" was publicly cowhided
in 1851 by Kate Hastings, in con,
sequence Of something said about
her in his newspaper; but even this
contemptuous and rough-handling
by an outcast from society had
hardly the least damaging effect on
Judson's social or literary rank,
since he had been regarded as a
spoiled egg" for many years.
While his novels display a good
deal Of talent and Imagination
their tendency is vicious and theil
taste is far from pure. Ned Bunt-
line may be put down as a "might

THE SUGAR PRODUCT.

The Louisiana sugar crop of the present
season is confidently estimated at 100000
hogsheads. From 1850 to 1862 the product
had grown from los, 900 tons to 10000. In
1863 it sunk to 10000; in 1865 to 5000 tons.
Since the war the revival has been very slow.
For the last three or four years it has been
gaining at the rate of $4,000 hogshesds year.
The average of the hogsheads is something
over ], 100 pounds. The crop of last season
amounted to $3.50 hogsheads or 100, 672,-
see pounds. The estimate of 200, 900 hogs
heads for the present crop shows that this in
dustry is now increasing at handsome rate.
There is plenty of room for this. The duty
on foreign sugar, although adjusted to favor
the refners, is large protection. The con-
sumption of sugar is continually increasing.
The sop of free trade in sugar which we gave
to the American sugar planters in the Sand
witch Islands will not not make q very large
hole in this protection. 1t is substantial
dependence, for even in the time of Demo-
cratic free trade 8 stout protective duty was
given to Southern sugar. The old ruling
class have settled the political troubles in heir
own way. The colored labor which, with
freedom, restored the cotton product, is as
available for the sugar. Therefore, We may
look for large growth in this Southern in
dustry, in the very large field that lies open
to i.
