 marvel f wonder, aud such a life If
 ease and comfort, the Mexicaus lead. One could i've here forever and be con-
 tented, if net e, nIoll,d to vcIk for g
 living. The clIm .te SD Ear, has been
 fine, not any too warm dluug the day
 and the nights cool, so ole can sleep
 under cover. There are no howliug ! winds, or sand storms OF blowing uf
 houses down, but a cam, peaceful, still
 ness prevails Iu perfect uurm1ly wth ! the IuhaUItauls, e uO are -ovcIs of PeIce ! and coIlfUrt, uuI respect tor the stIict ! laws of tLcir country. Odlei! It Is a | pleasure Gu reside nere, where law and | order prevails. AIe-lcaus must cJG- ! form tO the laws Ii tu1J wish ;u become residents.
 Business is entirely suspended from | 10 o'clock a. m. tJ J. D. ul. during the sIesta; after that they dress for a drIye, some tO the alam-das, others to the railroad about one aud a hdlf miles from ! the center of the cIty. I5 amuses one to see the mass of MeXlcaus Lather . to welcome the arrival of the 1:lO D. m. . passenger tram from Fl PasO; after that
 they visit the different places or gmuse- ment, or receive company at home.
 To lovers of music, the plaza Is the . incest place tO visit. Here The military
 band discourse fine selections from the operas, the best music heard outside of San Francisco. Iheater every Sun day night. The performance cOmmen- ces at o'clock. There Is nothing ln the line of American anUSements, so It Is necessary to speak Spanlsh tO be able tO understand.
 Many of the pest families are sending thelr children tO Iue States to be edu- cated in all the different English bran cues. They discount the Americans, regarding pUIteuess. Every tune they l meet, IL Is wItl d salute. embrace you, shake hands and tIp the hat. The same courtesy Is extended to Americans if they lke them. Inc best families scarcely ever gu out except III their car riage, and never during the slestd.

 POilce are s;aJI0ueu on every square provided with niles, pistols, lanterns anG blankets anu respond every fifteen minutes, showing that they are aI theIr posts Oi duty, which is more than c-u be sad of tAe American police. The sound Oi tLeIT whistles Is sweet and musical There cau be no doubt but that Chhuauuu I, .e most orderly cIty ever visited by am AlerIcau- DI-uruelly conduct Is au II .ts-lUlHty.

 The feast has been celebrated Iu grand style as has ais Nie event of the railroad reaching here, byImp1sIng cer- emOnIes, speeches, parades, balls and music. An excursion from Fl Paso, Texas, brought numerous visitors tO see the sights of Chihuahua. \ still larger excursion will arrive here October 3rd from Las Vegas. Many entertainments will be given in their honor. Hope you will be cf the party.
 It would take up too much of your valuable time To attempt a thorough description of this city with its many handsome buildings, alpmedas, plaza | market, Government pOllce and militia " quarters, the number Of soldiers, infantry and cavalry, and of all the Gov ernment and State officials. who treat every weii-eudCr-ed American with courtesy anl cprliai;v, welcome them as residents to their city of peace, law and order.
