The Mexicans in Texas.

With the exception of the whites the entire Mexican population in Texas, numbering 8O,O00, lead nomadic life. They move from one place to another, and often return to Mexico, while others coming from Mexico take their places. The Americans call them happily |" floating population" Thus it happens that the Mexican population of those cities in which Mexicans reside to any extent varies remarkably from year to year.
 At elections an open trade is carried on with Mexican voters. Who bids most has them. The voters who are thus pur- chased are driven the evening before election into corral-a kind of fenced enclosure-and are vigilantly guarded. In the morning they are supplied with ballots and conducted like flock of geese to the polls to discharge their duty as citizens. At the last mayors election at San Antonio an American of very good reputation collected about fifty Mexicans in his corral and informed his watchman that he would send for them at about nine o'clock on the following morning.
 A German, who, having married 8 Mexican woman, was in some favor with her countrymen. heard of this arrange ment and went to the corral himself at about quarter before nne. Saying that he had been sent by the American in whose services they had enlisted, he led the voters forth, supplied them with ballots in favor of the opposition candi- date, and took them to the polls, where they faithfully exercised the right of suffrage. It was thought a good joke when this trick became known. But those fifty votes decided the election.

The Wise Course HI Rheumatism.

Rheumatic patients who have been induced to submit to depletion by blood letting, or to take colchicum and other drugs of an equally pernicious character, will consult their well being by abandoning such insane procedure, and using as a substitute Hostetters Stomach This benign vegetable depurent cools the blood by expelling from it the infammatoTy elements which give rise to maladies of rheumatic and gouty type, and rectifes disordered conditions of the stomach, nervous system and bowels which usually accompany them. As rheuma- tism has tendency to attack the heart the desirability of an early resort to the Bitters is obvious, since the danger is increased by every moment of delay

Days Fraught with Danger.

These crisp days of winter, says the ,Saaa, are fraught with peril for the mod crate dr1nker. Through the summer and autumn he has refreshed himself with cooling beverages, but now that the blast blows cold from the north, and the snow chill is in the air, he is tempted to try hot ones-and in hot drinks turks danger. Those who have made intem- perance study say that ir there is 8 step to the .tippler's career that changes him from moderate imbiber to drunk ard, it is taken when he begins on heated spirits. One hot drink begets desire for another. The craving is four-fold that of cooling liquors. It is craving not to relieve a heated system or a parched throat, but for the real essence of the spirit and its exhilerating effects.
 The records prove that there is more drunkenness with the advent of cold weather than of any other season. Per- sons who have partaken freely of ale and beer and well-iced cocktails, and who suddenly switch off on hot Scotch or rum, find themselves more easily intoxicated. The strength of the liquor is more con- centrated, yet without approaching this fact, they drink the same quantity as be- fore.
 The moral is: Beware of hot drinks. Real safety, however, is only to be found by abstaining from all intoxicating fluids.
 How English Paupers are Treated.
 A woman aged fifty eight, named Mar at the Lambeth police court with refus- ing to perform the task allotted to her as an inmate of Lambeth workhouse. Ac- cording to the statement of the task-mis- tress the prisoner had declined to dust some windows in room two days ago, and was therefore {" ordered to be pun ished." The prisoner in defence ad- dressed the magistrate as follows "Yes, I was put in the cell as it is called, and had nothing but bread and cold water for two days. It was not to dust win dows, but clean them, and as I suffered from giddiness in the head l was afraid to get up to reach the windows. You don't know, your worship, how paupers are treated, and often think 1t a pity the Almighty does not relieve some of us, so as to save us from a workhouse. I have seen better days, and lost my last home through illness. Inmates as old as myself are set to clean the long stone passages, the doors on either side being left open so as to subject the poor people to thorough draught. They have to stop from twelve o'clock to one o'clock in room where the flooring has been washed over, and without a spark of fire in the grates. This is under the direc- tion of the Local Government Board, When I said that I could not do the work, I was taunted by the master that if did not should have my diner in prison at Christmas. The task mistess said that this latter statement and ''near- ly alp uttered by the prisoner, was un- true. The prisoner, however, declared that she had stated nothing but the truth, and in the end the magistrate discharged her on her promising to do the work she was required to perform.
