wealth and Prospects of Mexi-

The New York Herald gives the
following extract from lecture re-
Gently delivered at Cooper's insti-
tute, by General Parsons: "The
City of Mexico, he said, has a pop
ulation OF 100000 inhabitants, and
there are eighteen other large cities
IN the republic. The specimens Of
native ornamental work are une-
-qualed, and the linen and silk fab
RIGS surpass those of any other
country. The pearl fisheries OF the
Gulf of California rival those OF
Persia, and the mines are not ex-
celled in richness by any in the
world, not excepting those OF Peru.
Silver has been found in such guam
titles as to be used for tagging en-
frances to houses. In some places
it has protruded from the ground,
and been cut out in solid bars. In
ten months, said the speaker, this
wonderful country will be coRnec-
ted by rail with New York, and
soon a journey may be made from
Jersey City to Mexico in six
days. The soil is so fertile that
corn is raised over mines from
which vast fortunes are extracted.
The people are hospitable and
kindly disposed toward strangers
and it Is false to say they are blood
thirsty and ferocious. Five hum
bred passengers day arrive at tho
capital by railway, and more lines
of communication are needed.
Only 400 miles OF railway are in
operation. The $125. 900. 900 worth
of produce brought from tie trop-
les could be brought from Mexico,
thus opening q great trade with the
United States. The cotton OF
Mexico would supply all the spin
dies OF New England. 1t has given
the world three quarters of all its
mineral wealth, and to-day its
yield. surpasses that of any country.
Moreover, it is the sanitarium OF
the American continent,

A singular Accident.

GREENvILLE, S. c., Dec. 10.-Yes-
terday morning the engineer OF the
northern bound passenger train
saw a figure on horseback as the
train came down q grade at a rapid
rate, a few miles above this place.
The man attempted to cross the
track when the engine was only
twenty yards away. Before the le-
yer could be reversed, the horse
was struck dead and thrown of the
track. To the amazement of the
conductor and engineer the man
could not be discovered. When
the train reached here and stopped
at the station he was found on the
pilot OF the engine, still sitting
astride OF HIS saddle, stone dead.
He was recognized as George Mar
tin, well-to-do cotton planter OF
Greenville county. Upon removal
OF the body it Was discovered that
a piece OF jug handle was sus-
pended from the neck of the dead
man by a piece of string. The
fragment of the jug emitted an un-
mistakable odor of corn whisky.

Desperate Fight Between Two
Policemen in Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, December 8.-This
afternoon q terrible and fatal affray
occurred between two well known
police officers, in which Officer
John Brophy was instantly killed
by Officer Tom Casey. The two
men were watching on different
beats in the locality OF the Nash
vile railroad shops, and met in a
little signal shanty on Kentucky
street. Not being on very friendly
terms they got into regular quar-
rel. Both were terribly in earnest,
and as they met Casey drew his
knife, while at the same time Bro
ply got out his pistol. They sepa-
rated after they first met, and both
knife and pistol were brought into
requisition. Brophy fired, tho ball
striking Casey near the right
shoulder, but whether the shot was
fired before Casey had cut Brophy
or not is uncertain. Both attacks
were made near the same instant,
and Casey jabbed his knife deep
into Brophy's bowels just over the
right hip. Brophy did not fall at
once, but, striking Casey, knocked
him down and jumped upon him.
Casey then reached around his an
tagonist and attempted to stab him
in the back, but before he could
succeed bystander had secured
his knife, and dragged the tive
men apart. After being pulled of
of Casey, Brophy said, 81 am cut
cut bad" and turning on his side
on an ash-pile in the gutter he died
almost Immediately. Casey was ia
ken to his home Immediately, on
Oldham street, near Ninth. Bro
ply was picked up and taken into
a room across from where the trag
edy occurred. Cnsey's physicians
say he has some chance OF recovery
Brophy and Casey have been mem
bers of the police force for . num-
Der of years, and have always been
esteemed as good officers, attend
ing to their duties industriously
and making great many arrests.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.


ny After the passage of the Naval
bill by the Senate, Mr.. Beck called at
tention to the fact that it had gone
through both houses of a Democratic
Congress as prepared by the depart
ment. Mr. Conkling congratulated him
and his associates that they had in one
instance been able to let politics alone
and report a bill which the whole Sem
ate could vote for. r
Bsy@ Not only did Mr.. Tilden capture
the Harrisburg Conventions but he per-
suaded the Connecticut Democratic
Convention to agree that he has n nat
ural and indisputable right to the Prcsi-
dental nomination this year. The old
man has one foot in the grave, bat he
cannot be beaten by any of his more
robust rivals while he is well enough to
sign checks. 49, Philadelphia Bulletin. r..
Rsly@ The Irregular Democratic Con-
vention in New York did Mr.. Tilden's
bidding. 1t did not formally instruct
its delegation TO present his name, but
it ordered it to act as unit and saw 20
it that his friends were in the majority,
1t adroitly made all things sure for him,
and this without affording any pretext
for bolt within its ranks. Its pro-
ceedings afford another illustration of

These demagogues have been an eye
sore to the intelligent voter, even of

and their frantic attempts in Congress
for cheap nOtoriety have procured for
them the contempt of all the members
of both great political parties in that

one exception, for many years past has
been exactly PSF. The exception was

dropped to 2S6, Immediately mass

name Of the unconscionable villain who
had neglected to vote. After full dis
cussion and thorough inquiry it was
found that q Democrat in remote
corner of the town had died on the
morning of the election, before he had
time to record his vote. His son be-
came of age, however, before the next
polling-day, and so the majority has
