Colonel |. Moses, a prominent banker
and citizen Of No. 4 Hanover street,
New York, is in the city on his way to
Santa Rosa, Mexico, thirty leagues south
west Of Eagle Pass. he goes for the
purpose of starting work which has long
been suspended on the famoss silver
mines of Santa Gertrudis at Santa.
Rosa. Colonel Moses has lived many
years in Mexico, is thoroughly acquaiutl
ed with the politics, language and habits
of the people Of that badly misrepresent-
ed country, is largely interested in these
mines and is sanguine Of great success.
BE is not altogether a stranger here,
having met the Memphis excursionists
who visited San Antonio last May,
who are giving him a very cordial vel
come. he came out Of Mexico With.
Major R. L. Cobb, Of this city, and 9th
ers, at the time our people we're down at
San Antonio, and did much TO make
their stay pleasantin that marvellous old
new city. We wish him continued good
fortune, health and happiness. All that
is required to increase the commercial
transactions between this country and
Mexico is a treaty Of commerce which
will enable our manufacturers to replace
the trade now monopolized in Mexico BY
England and Germany. 1t is to be hoped
that our government at Washington
will realize the Importance of such
a treaty, and of c~ultivating a
good understanding with our sister re-
public on the border. whose people are
really disposed to trade with US and be
on friendly terms. Such men as Colonel
Moses give a good account Of Mexico
and scout the idea Of acquiring any more
territory in that direction, either by CON
quest or purchase. Tke people Of Texas
likewise desire the boundary line to re-
main where It is forever, and TO be st
peace with their neighbors. Z.

nine British mountaineers. They
may have been, it probably was so
once, at least TO a degree, though it
is not SO now; nor has it been for
the last fifteen or twenty years.
American women have grown to be
remarkable pedestrians and climb
ers, and very sturdy ones too, as
tourists in the Engadine, the Rhe-
tisn Alps, the valleys of Chamou-
nix and Zermatt, the regions about
the Italian lakes and Swiss passes
can bear witness Who has not
seen American maidens and ma
irons doing the Jardin, the Grands
Mulets, the Corner Graf, the Tete
Noire, alpenstock in hand, when
English maidens and matrons were
borne on chairs, or mules, or po-
MES? The sight is not at all un-
and is growing less un-
every season. American
women are built for excursions and
ascensions, it may be said, being
slight, nervous, elastic and endur-
ing, while the English woman,
prone, after her youth has gone, to
.stoutness, phlegm, and sluggish
ness, cannot conveniently cope with
rough ways and snowy sleeps.
1t is too late to arraign American
women as a breed of inyalids, hos
tile to exercise, outdoor life, and
physical development. They have
ceased to follow the foolish and
harmful habits of their mothers
and grandmothers. The members
Of this generation at least have
educated and are educating the
body; have come to regard health
as oneCof the first essentials. They
have learned, many of them, to
skate, to swim, to row, and each
year more and more are learning
these things. They have started on
new courses they are truly
ashamed of the past, and will SO
use the future that their British
cousins must be alert MOTTO be out
stripped in the race for physical
w~ell-being.

DOG IN THE

Memphis manages to advertise herself
Q good deal at the expense of the Asso.
ciated Press. But there was a hitch this
year. The verdant operator telegraphed
the usual stereotyped puff Of the Mem
phis carnival, and said at the grand eli.
materia Of the dispatch, c~onfdentially,
("here insert the Libretto sent by ex-
press" The libretto had been sent by
express, and the plan to ron in a column
advertisement was beautifully laid, but
it didn't work. Our night editor, with
excellent pith and humor, instead Of in.
sorting a column Of express matter, wrote
follow copy" and thus tie amieble
fraud of Memphis is exposed. Here in.
sert the Librett,' indeedl The line
must be drawn somewhere, and a good
place on this occasion was TO draw it
first after the parenthesis. To our
friends and imitators up the river we
would say hereafter let your motto be
less cheek and more wisdom. In. o.
Times.
Memphis people may endeaVor to ad
vertise their Msrdi Gras carnival in a fair
and legitimate way, but they have never
advertised such petty meanness and
spite as sticks out in the above lines. Il
is not unusual for proof.sheets to be semi
to the press in advance and to appear
afterwArd under a heading, introduction
ETC., as a special. The New York pa
pers and leading journals ia the Yves
have used accounts of the Memphis car
nival written and sent on in advance b.
mail OF course it is optional with thu
press abroad to notice our Mardi- GraS o.
not. The notices which have appeared
In most papers, far and near, have beer
highly complimentary, 1t has remained
for a paper published four hundred mile
away from here, in a city four times a,
large as Memphis to make the Rbov
spiteiul illusions. We do not believ
that it represents the true people of Nev
Orleans, who are too kindly disposed t.
ward Memphis people, too generous an
manly, to entertain such coutemptibl
sentiments of malice and envy.
