The Leading Hotel in Mexico.

A correspondent writing from the
City of Mexico describes the character
lstics of first class hotel there: The
force consists of a sad-looking clerk
who writes the names of the guests in
chalk on a blackboard, melancholy
custodian of the keys, two bare-footed
Comanche boys for general utility,
and two walters for each floor. 1t is
owned by the Iturbes who are the rich
est family in Mexico. They paid 3d.
100000 for the property, and make
$4,000 or $4,000 a year from it. They
own the whole block, the Hotel Bazaar
the Hotel San Carlos, and whole blocks
of the best property in the city. There
are two Of them and their fortunes
are estimated at $20,000000 apiece
What transformation there will be'pro
duced in that sleepy caravansary wher
Leland, for instance, gets a chance &c
convert it into first-class American

Paris Letter to New Orleans Pieayune.


One night while he was in Brussels a
duet came into his mind at a. m. He
leaped from bed, rang the bell for a
servant, and asked for poet. The
servant, not knowing what dish that
was, awoke the master of the house,
and, after satisfying himself that Meyer
beer really wanted at that hour of the
night biped who turned ont verses,
gave him the address of well-known
Belgian poet, ordered cab, and sent
Meyerbeer to the dramatist's home.
Meyerbeer tugged the bell till he
brought the master, who answered the
slarm in the worst possible humor I'M
til the visitor said II am Meyerbeer.
Are you poet?"
Yes, when am In the vein, but at
these untimely hours, when only
churchyards yawn, the humor is not on
me- '.Humor is will; Will is inspira-
ton, twill come. Sit at your desk and
write duet between lover and his
sweetheart; here is the idea" Meyer
beer gave his thoughts. Il would
write what you want a great deal better
after thinking over It tonight. Give
me till tomorrow" No, no, no; write
it at once; tomorrow shall be in Ber-
liz The poet wrote the duet. Meyer
beer was pleased with it; he drew out
his pocketbook. took ,000-franc bank
note from it, gave it to the poet, say
ing: BE good enough to accept this
rag for your authors royalty, with a
thousand thanks" 1t Is said this duet

SMOKING CIGARETTES.
Likewise Some Other Substance That
Is Not So Palatable.

fnliadeiphla Times
There are few current delusions that
have become so firmly fixed as the trade
trick which claims that the only origi-
nal cigarette, warranted not to kill or
ruin the larynx, Is the one wrapped In
rice paper. During the last ten years
cigarette smoking has grown apace in
this country. At the beginning of the
war the cigarette was the mark Of a
foreigner, the Spaniard especially. All
the continental nations, however, do
most of their smoking in this way The
ready made cigarette is only a COM
paratively late invention. 1t was Great
| ed IN Difference to the impatient spirit
of the American, who cannot give the
time or possibly acquire the skill nee
essary to roll a cigarette. The address
with which the job is done abroad elicts
| admiration. So great an adept was
Napoleon III. in the making of this
small solace, that with one hand, the
left, he could arrange the tobacco and
roll the paper into d condition fit to
smoke, This, however, is d by no means
rare accomplishment in France, Spain,
or Italy. 1t was the American who
invented the patent cigarettes, not SO
much to save the consumer the trouble
of making the article as to get good
chance to adulterate them. There IS
not cigarette made in America that
any man, boy or woman would smoke
if the making and mixture of them
could be seen. Every brand makes a
loud boast of using rice paper, whereas
| anyone who takes the trouble to ex-
anime the rice plant will see at glance
that there is no fibrous constance in
il to make paper of the sort used in
cigarettes. Prodigious fortunes have
been made and are making, and mil
lions of people are slowly running their
digestive organs by inhaling the foul
stuff wrapped up in the various brands
that claim to be pure. Let any smoker
of cigarettes subject his tongue and
throat to medical examination after
smoking a package of cigarettes
Nltrlol itself leaves no more sinister
| impression on the tongue, throat, and
palate. If the cigarette were made of
pure tobacco and fairly good papers it
would be no more harmful than cigar,
which the world has come to agree
substantially is not harmful ut all. But
the greed of the trade enters this, like
all other enterprises that spring up to
supply sudden demand. A package of
twenty cigarettes, which may represent
an outlay of from three to five cents,
the manufacturer exacts twelve to
sixteen cents for. There is really in a
package of twenty as much genuine
| tobacco as a smoker consumes in one
honest pipeful. 1t may safely be said
that, with perhaps one or two except
ions, every cigarette made is source of
violent physical reaction, Obstructive of
vital tissues and the active principle of
lurking and insidious diseases, and that
it is better to smoke a pound of tobacco
III any other form than the pinch mingl-
ed with poison that makes up the ridi-
culously expensive and utterly worth
less article of cigarette that holds the
market.

RowrxGssGArNsrTHE TIDE.

easy to glide with the ripples
@Adown the stream of time,
To flow with the course Of the river,
Like music to some old rhyme;
But all it takes courage and patience
Against the current to ride
And we must have our strength from heaven
When rowing against the tide.
We may float on the rivers surface
While our oars scarce touch the stream,
And visions Of e2rly glory
On onr dazzling sight may CLEAN
We forget that on before u #
The dlshing torrents roar,
And while we are idly dreaming,
The waters viii carry US ore.
But a few-ah, would there were many =
Row up the stream OF life;
They struggle against it surges,
And mind neither toll nor strife,
Though weary and faint with labor.
Singing triumphant, they ride
For Christ il the heros Captain
When rowing against the tide.
Far "a through the hazy distance.
Like i mist On distant shore,
They see the walls Of city,
With its banners floating ore.
Seen through a glass 50 darkly
They almost mistake their way;
faith throws light on their labor,
When darkness shuts out their day.
nd shall We be one Of their number
Who mind no toll nor pain
Shall We mourn the loss Of earthly joy
When we have a crown TO gain?
" shall We glide on with the river,
With death ut tile end of our ride,
While our brother, with heaven before him.
