THE excitement anent the Sierra
Mojada mines in Mexico Is likely
TO bring prominently before the
American people very offensive
discrimination made by Mexicans
against citizens of the United
States. Our laws are cordial and
hospitable in the extreme. The
natives Of Mexico, of Germany, OF
Great Britain, and of all countries,
indeed, are cordially welcomed to
our mines. They are at entire lib
erty to prospect; and, on discover.
ing mines, to wor bhem. Not
only that, but no earthly obstacle
will be interposed to their retiring,
In due order, with all the gold and
silver that their discoveries and in
dustry may yield them. When 1t
comes to the citizen of the United
States In Mexico, however, the
case is entirely different. In the
first place, the American prospect
or and miner encounters the
"Frontera" laws of our sister Re-
public. These laws forbid the ac-
quisition by any American of any
real property of any kind whatever
within, if we remember Alright,
sixty miles of the frontier. AS may
be readily supposed, spirit thus
hostile at the frontier is not likely
to encourage the adventurous
American when he gets further in
land. The remedy we would sug-
gest for such state of things is
not war but treaty of reciprocity.
The Mexican people could not we'll
deny to us rights which we have
freely conceded to them. A frank
overture, in the spirit of friendship,
certainly ought to be, and probably
would be, met cordially and effect.
uAlly. It is on all accounts desira.
BILE that the negotiations should be
opened at once, for it lie asking too
much of so enterprising a people as
those which compose the border
States of the United States to ex.
psct that bonanzas should lie ready
to their hand across an imaginary
line and they should yet not assist
In developing them. Mexicans may
come into the United States and
mine for gold, silver, coal, iron, or
any other mineral; they may &C.
quire here perfect title to all
these things; yet the citizens Of
our country are under disabilities
when it comes to mining and own.
Ing property in Mexico. Such an
anomaly should not be suffered to
longer disgrace the intercourse Of
the two nations. Distrust should
be put to one side and replaced by
aspirit of comfy and mutual con-
fldence. Only in this way can the
two sister Republics hope to live
in an enduring peace and trust.
The American or the Mexican
statesman who first starts the de-
pArture Of international good will
will cover himself with imperisha-

The TYrOleSe.

1t is not easy to see how, IN a country
so broken as this, and where so many
farms and even whole villages have no
access to market except over mountain
foot-paths, any system could be intro
duced which would tighten the labor of
the people. On not one farm in fIrty in
the mountain valleys could the moving
machine be used and from at least one
half of the hay and grain fields the whole
crop has to be carried away on the heads
and shoulders of the people. Something
might be gained by the introduction of
better race of cattle, but it is a question
whether these too would not deteriorate
under the constant exercise needed to
pick up living on these broken pastures.
The conditions of living are very much
modified by the wandering propensity
which is so common among the Tyrolese.
AS musicians, as peddlers, as cattle deal
ers, and as mechanics, they wander over
the wide world, bringing home COM
Portable profit and a quickened intelli-
gence.
The mental and moral characteristics
ofany people can Of course be only very
imperfectly measured by the casual
traveller. The Tyrolese are represented
as being extremely superstitious and
priest-ridden, but no evidence of this was
obvious to me. They are unquestionably
honest and faithful, and universally tenn
perate. Probably every man, woman and
child in Tyrol drinks beer and wine as
constantly and as freely as we drink
water; but during all my journeyings in
all parts of the country have not seen
single person either drunk or under any
considerable influence of drink. There
are, too, very slight evidences of poverty,
and beggars are rare. Among them
selves, especially at the Gasthausern in
the evening, the younger men are noisy
and uproarious, and much given to bad
music and harsh play. Some of their
games are rough to brutality, and it is not
long since the use ofthe knife was con-
stant accompaniment of their quarrels.
Wrestling and ''finger-hacking" (hook-
ing the middle fingers and twisting for
the mastery, even at the risk of the joint
are still common, and are watched by
comrades with the same interest which
attaches to n cock-fght or dog-fght in
England. Among people whose life
makes physical endurance cardinal
virtue, these trials of strength and of the
ability to endure pain are regarded as
tests of manliness, and even the women
who witness them applaud their most
brutal manifestations. ns.-Hdrper's Mag

Concerning Railroads.

Mr.. Oliver Garrison, vice-president
of the Missouri Pacific railroad, and
brother of Commodore G. X. Garrison,
stated few days ago, that $4,000 miles
of new railroad are to be built next sum-
mer, in the United States, all to be laid
with new steel rails, and that 5000 rails
in one year will exhaust the supply.
Most of these additional roads will be
constructed in the West and Northwest.
One of the singular features Of railroad
traffic in the United States to which the
Railroad Gazette calls attention, is the
stagnation of the passenger traffic on near
ly all the leading lines ofrailroad. While
the freight traffic has increased more than
seventy-five per cent. in the last seven or
eight years, the passenger business is at a
standstill. There were actually fewer
passengers carried to the mile of road on
nearly every leading road in the country
in 1877 or 1878 than in 1870, or in any of
the three years following it.

A japanese fable runs as follows: A
man was once cutting up poisonous fish
to make some dainty dish, when hungry,
homeless cat snatched up a piece and
scampered off with it. The man followed,
and saw puss in an inaccessibly narrow
space between two houses gloating over the
stolen morsel. When he saw the cat eat
ing the fish he said to himself off these
cunning animals eat it, surely can eat it
without fear" and he returned home.
Meanwhile the cat had waited, having its
suspicious as to the wholesomeness of the
fish, but when she saw the people eating it,
she also fell to eating it. Other cats came,
and quarrel ensued over the morsel, but
they were seized with a fatal sickness as
also were the people, so that all who had
partaken of it died. Notwithstanding per-
sons are often outwitted in the end.
