This Indian poet-king Of the astonishina
cognomen made the Mexican mountain 81
Tezcosingo famous in Attic days Is his pleas
urc garden and retreat. Here, looking toward
the ancient City Of Mexico, Is still to be seea
his curiously constructed bath, cut from .
solid block of granite overhanging the brow Of
the hill. The rock has a smooth surface sew
cral yards square and dropping from its centre
is circular basin some three feet deep by Q
dozen or more In circumference. Out of one side
Is cut a seat for the aCcOmno datiOn Of thebather
while rising from the surface little farther
back is another having perfect chair form,
with rest on one side for the arm. Protect
ing the outer side Of this Is wall-a part Of
the same rock-into which seats have been
cut as though for spectators, and various little
nitches which no doubt the queer old monarch
used as rcceptacles for his toilette parapher-
MALTA.
Following along the beaten and still we'll
preserved path one comes to chamber cut
into mountain-side, now in ruins, unroOfed
and strewn with debris At the end of this
vaultcd-rOom was raised platform o fooh
high and several feet square, hewn from solid
rock, and on either side Of this are inches
chiscied out, with fragments of cement still
clinging TO their sides. As late as the begin
ming of tho present century there still re-
manned ..bctween these miniature cupboards
and above this possible couch, n large calendar
stone. which was later destroyed by neighbour
ing Indians in search of treasure.
When the cares of his kingdom pressed hard,
and.the working of his policy" brought about
Pcrplexing combinations, Nezahuacoyolt re-
tired for season of rest 10 this beautiful
mountain, and here. four times every day for
forty days he offered prayer and incense on
Blended knees to "thc all.powcrful God hidden
aud unknown" Tradition saith that In An
swcr to these petitions u vision appeared to ono
Of the kings attendants, directing him to go
at once to his master with the comforting as
suranCc that the unseen God had been pleased
To accept his offerings, and would avenge him
by the hands of his son Axoynatzin lad Of
seventeen years. The Indian ruler, however, re-
fused to believe in the supernatural rcvcia-
ton but history tells us that II was frlsmt
When NeGlhuncoyolt heard of tho fulfll-
mcnt of what he had deemed an idle super sti-
tion, he retired in humiliation to the garden
Of his palace, and, kncCling on the ground,
gave thanks to the unknown God promising
to alone acknowledge his supremacy in the
future, to build n temple to his honor, and to
abstain hcncciOrth from idoatruus worship
and human sacrifices. IN compliance with
this Nv he built tower nine stories high aud
garnIshCd the interior of it with gold and pre-.
CiOus stones and covered the exterior with
black cement, cmbcllishcL with stars. In this
superb and expensive tCmple were stationed
men whose duty II was at certain hours Of the
day to strike upnu plates oil fine metal, at tho
sound Of which the morarCh fell upon his
knees in prayer

Too humble was this flower

Next IN my path lay meekly
While It's breath pcriumed the air,
The pink-thc household treasure,
And the rtstic's special care.
But, with Its simple beauty,

To rest amid the treSses
That adorned my lady's iAcof
Next came the biishing moss rose,
And twas fair, own, to see,
As Il stroye to hide lis bosom
From the woOing Of the bee,
But still It's birth was humble,
And II could not hope to share
place amid the tresses
or my ladys golden hair.
And so ] len the garden.
With Its sweet but simple nower,
And sought the rure exotics
In their exclusive bowers:
And there I pluckcd flower
That would scOrn 10 breathe tho air
With simple garden poeies,
To entwine my lady's hair.
And as gazed upon II
In its warm and simptuous bowez,
To lrnce It's high pretcnsions

For It, high and lordy air;

With Its modest mein. more fart

The Peice or Peace.

According to the latest version of the
peace conditions turkey is called upon to
surrender about forty-fvc thousand square
miles of territory in Europe, which will go
to form the new tributary Bulgarian prin-
cipality, and to satisfy Servia, Roumania and
Montenegro Besides this she must surren-
der, in pledge as it were, large portion OF
Armenia to Russia against the demanded in
demnity of eleven hundred million dollars
Unless the English Turcophiles subscribe
this amount, which is not much more than
France paid to Germany, the pledged terri
tory is not likely to be redeemed. Turkey
is to lose four iron-clads, say six million
dollars worth; to pay eight million dollars
to the Russian residents Of Constantinople;
to pay the cost of supporting the Turkish
prisoners in Russia Zone hundred and
twenty thousand) and opening the Sulina
mouth of the Danube, say three million
dollars more. She is to issue two hum
dred million dollars of bonds to Russia,
which will cost her. say ten to twelve mill
ion dollars year, and she is to reimburse
the Russian holders of Turkish bonds
With the exception of this curious and
elastic clause. which will probably be held
II. te,rorem over British bondholders, 1t is
easy to gauge the effect upon the resources
of Turkey. She will not have to raise i'm
mediately more than twenty million dol
lars, and, for the rest, must shrink into
her dimipished shell, mortgaged hand and
foot to Russia. The terms. ere severe, but
are carefully graded to the possibilities Of
payment. The heavy indemnity will never
be paid. and the interest on the two hun
dred million bonds. we suppose, represents
closely the revenue of the new tributary
principality. Turkey will still retain some
ninety thousand square miles in Europe.
Bulgaria is to be occupied by the Russians
for two years. The straits are to be closed
to men-of-war "except in isolated cases."
which qualification is rather vague.

others having taken an active interest In
public affairs. Indeed, it would be very
great misfortune to the city if so 'ntelll-
gent, able and high toned body of men as
may be found in the medical profession OF
New York should take no interest in public
questions, but turn up their noses at poll
tics as mere '1eather and prunella.
DR.. Crosby, in few happy remarks In
reply to the Mayor, contended that the
chief magistrate et city like New York had
to exercise all the care of the best physician
and OF the most skilful surgeon, since he
had to deal with the moral sickness and
disease of the community, and he ex-
pressed sly satisfaction at the discovery
that Mayor Ely, like an honest doctor, when
he found one kind of treatment did not
succeed was wiling to change the remedy.
This allusion to the recent sickness and
sudden recovery of the Police Board was re-
ceived with relish by the audience. But.
the convivial doctors no doubt laughed IN
their sleeves at the idea of n surgeon, who
had thoroughly made up his mind that
chronic disease demanded the amputation
of limb, suddenly making the discovery
that his patient could be more effectually
cured by sugar-coated pill.
The New York herald., 1878-02-25

class of the money lords. 1t was still war
made in the interests of classes as opposed
to the general interests of the nation, but it
was not the old class also. 1t was aided by
another that has taken its place in dominant
and domineering influence in the councils
of the nation a class which believes there
are no relations in the world but COM
mercial relations, and which believes that
the best way with rival in trade is to
knock him on the head.
There is, therefore, the plain evidence OF
English history tor the fact that England
has always been carried into Continental
wars by he interests and the power
of the aristocracy or by the power OF
a class having in the national councils an
influence almost as great as that formerly
welded by the aristocracy in its great
days. The feudal aristocracy and kind
of pseudo commercial aristocracy make mp
the war parties in England as in oil other
countries, save where wars are simply those
Of national defence Of are in determine
ton OF some irrepressible national con-
fiict. But the English aristocracy by itself
alone will never make another war, simply
because by the growth OF the people 1t has
lost that power in the nation that once
enabled it to enforce any policy satisfactory
to it's views. Since the last of the dynastic
wars the English people, in political
sense has come into existence, and Eng
land to-day is governed in great degree In
accordance with its real interests by the
force of popular opinion. Before its treas
ure and its blood can be squandered in
any war the nation must be satisfied that it
has some substantial grievance to redress
or that in some evident and tangible way it
will be the better for war and the worse for
peace. Nations may be blinded and preju-
diced, and so deceived; but, while they see
clearly, theories and sentiments and "Asatic
IN mysteries" and moonshine Of that sort
are not valued as good reasons for great na-
tional sacrifices. And this is the secret of
the hesitations and divisions, the difficult
ties and uncertainties of English policy
in the present crisis. The popular voice,
so far as it is intelligent, is for peace; the
aristocracy and the flunky part of the people
are for war. The sentiment of the money
lords is for war also, but not very earnestly,
for the taste Of Turkish bonds is not pleas
ant under the financial tongue Thus there
is enough division for each to nullify the
other; none can have its will, and the nation
is equally filled with the roar for war and
the cry for peace.
