A Determined Woman.

The venerable Mrs. Sylvanus Cobb, widow of the well-known Universalist clergyman, lately died in Boston. She was woman of great energy and deter imitation. When, many years ago, her husband was member of the Massachu- setts Legislature, a committee of Mrs.
 Cobb's denominational friends visited her to ask her to influence her husband to recede from his position of obstruct- ing @ certain bill. The stout-hearted young matron said that she gloried in her iege lords position. To the sug- gestion that her children's bread and butter might depend upon her action,
 she replied that rather than ask her hus- band to change his course she would take the children to the woods and feed upon nuts and acorns. No further effort was made in that direction. -..

Then the still blindfolded man was marched to far corner of the hall, where n stream of water from a faucet close at hand kept up the delusior | of prospective bath and he disrobeC for the plunge. He was then led to { large blanket made from sail cloth with hand-holds for ten men on side, ano requested to sit down, but he would not get much chance to sit, for he was imme- diately bounced toward the ceiling at the rate of thirty times a minute.
 The next torture was the "drying '' machine. This was long, narrow box, just wide enough for man to stand up- right in. When he was in, slat was placed across the box even with the cen ter of his forehead, another across his breast, and third just above his knees. The box was hung on pivots between two upright bars, and had attached to the side crank by which it could be readily and quite rapidly revolved. And this was one of the little trials which the ambitious seeker after the mysteries of Malta had to undergo. He was whirled round and round perpendicularly, head over heels and heels over head, first quite slow and then with gradually in creasing speed, until the breath of the human propeller gave out. The frighten- ed fellow, with shaking nerves, was then allowed to resume his clothing, and was led to chair to take rest
 The candidate was then placed in a coffin-like box mounted on four wheels and given ride over very rough and rugged road. The motive power of the weird vehicle was four men and two others ran along by the side beating the cover of the box with heavy chairs. Cap sizes were frequent, and the brief jour- ney often proved trying ordeal to the strongest-nerved people. At it's conclu- sion the bandage would be removed from the candidates eyes and he would be hailed as 'Brother."
 He soon felt at home among his perse- cutors, and almost immediately resolved to "rope in " a friend or two of his own. It was this feeling of getting satisfac- tion for their own rough usage by see- ing some one else "put through" that for time kept the society in clover.
 Near the close of each evenings per- formance the several candidates who had been put through the mill were called together and requested to kneel with their heads close to the floor while the Master of Ceremonies repeated verse illustrative of their attitude. Next they were formed into what was called the magic circle.
 They were placed standing in circle with folded arms and once more blind folded. While in this position their figures were adorned by the emblems of the order, and the bandages removed, when they saw themselves as others see them, and stood revealed to each other as members in full fellowship of the or der of "The Sons of Malta"

In Mexico.

The remarkable variation in tempera- t,lre makes it possible to grow almost any thing in Mexico. In the upper lands wheat, oats, barley, and other grains grow as we'll as in Minnesota or Iowa in the lowlands all the products of the tropics are cultivated with great success, and throughout the whole country maize or Indian corn is to be found. Indeed, corn is the food of the people, just as pulque is their drink. The corn is mixed with water, kneaded thoroughly, and then rolled out into thin cakes, thinner than pancakes, and very dry to the taste These caskes, which are called tortitlas, are generally eaten with sauce made of Chii peppers and half 8 dozen tortitios, and cup of this sauce forms the break fast of the working man. It is amazing to see upon how small rations an Indian or half breed can thrive and do the hardest work. I saw at Vera Cruz half breeds working ten hours in the hold of steamer packing away sugar and coffee, the thermometer standing at over 100 degrees, and the men working harder than New York stevedores, yet their breakfast consisted of only tortillas and cup of coffee. This ability to endure fatigue upon very small amount of food makes the Indian an admirable soldier. He will make forced march of two or three days almost without rations, and will then be as ready to fight as an Irishman at Donnybrook Fair. The Indians have another characteristic that makes them invaluable soldiers in land like Mexico. They do not care whom they fight for, or for what principle they are led into battle, as long as they fight somebody, and in the revolutions they always join the party that wins as soon as the battle is over. Gen. Grant tells 8 story of his experiences when a Lieutenant in the Mexican war. The American army defeated the Mexicans, and the defeated army being deprived of their arms, immediately became camp followers, Grant engaging Mexican Captain as his body servant at $4 a month,
