A WONDERFUL FRUIT STATE.

Few persons ever thought of Michigan as
a tropical State; indeed it is the common inn
preston that Michigan, from one end to the
other, and in all its parts, is to DO ranked
among the coolest places on earth. Bnt
there is strip of Michigan along the hike
shore that is famous for the mildness of ito
temperature, said to be due to waters of the
lake which temper the air and give semi
tropical climate. This section of Michigan
is fruit belt Of much importance, where
figs grow and thrive out-of-doors, and peach
es, plums and grapes come to maturity in
good season. 1t is stated by Michigan pa
per that last year theshipment of these fruits
from this portion of Michigan amounted to
100000 bushels. In one year within the
present decade s0G,0O bushels of peaches
were shipped One farmer in Traverse City
marketed 1000 bushels of plums last year,
receiving $4,000 therefor. This man has
800 acres devoted to peaches, plums and
grapes. We do not advise any steady going
New England farmer to sell ont and emigrate
to this paradise in Southern Michigan. be-
cause all Of that small but remarkable frnit-
bearing section is already occupied by peo-
pie who propose tostay there. Boston Pest.

A MEXICAN TOWN.
Life and Bnsincssiin Sonora IAN unpro-
grcssIve People.

A Mexican letter says 'Guaymas, the
seaport of Sonora, is rather pretty town,
built after the style of all Mexican towns and
1t contains some 5000 people. Hermosilio,
the capital, contains 1900 people. The
principal business is the manufacture of
boots, shoes, saddles and carriages for which
there is machinery imported from England
and our own country. 1t has business hous-
es containing all manner of English and
American goods for sale ut enormous prices
common calico, for instance five and
three-quarter yards, ~. Orange orchards
are abundant and oranges cheap and of fine
quality, commanding better price in Tue
son than California oranges. The raising of
wheat and sugar caneare the principal farm
ing crops. Two or three Glasses of sugar
from the cane are manufactured. Hotels
are numerous, but are very poor. They are
run by Americans, Frenchmen Mexicans
and Cinnamon. The Sonora Railroad has
thirty seven acres of lind on the west side of
the town for station and freight houses &C.,
and the company intends TO build fine
railroad hotel. The annual feast of ten days
in Hermosilio, in September, tho anniversa-
ny Of the independence of Mexico, and the
great feast of San Francisco, held at Mag
dalena, were interesting occasions. Magda-
lena, place of some 1000 people, contains
during the feast at least 10000 persons.
They come on foot, on donkeys on horses,
in carts drawn by oxen, in wagons, and in
all sorts of manners, 80 that the road from
Hefnioslio to Magdalena is a curious sight.
OF the people of Sonora it can be said that
Ignorance predominates in the middle and
lower classes. A general in the Mexican
army said to an American in Hermosilio re-
Gently, that the Americans beat the Mexicans
building railroads, but the Mexican army

cars from State street, Albany, out into the
open fields, where the engine stood, and
every passenger had TO look ont for himself

was none. II was an afterthought created
by the necessities of the case. To-day the

A RIv Err OF RAPIDS.
MANY Grand Falls aud Beautiful Gr0ifoes
oun stream offhe Northwest.


For two or three miles above the Sh os-
hone Falls the Snake river flows through
immense chasms, with walls on either side
hundreds of feet high. The river is full Of
rapids for miles, the descent being 80 great.
At the upper Shoshone Falls known as the
Twin or Little Falls, the river is divided and
the two streams rush over precipice and
fall into pool rs feet below As viewed
from the bluff hundreds of feet above, the
sight is grand, and from below there is
still more to admire and awe the visitor.
Some four or five miles down the river we
come to the great falls, where the entire
river descends, in sheet, 2l0 feet. Some
thirty or forty miles further down the stream
is Solomon Falls extending quite a distance.
The greatest of these fNlls is only twenty
feet, but the forms and great number of
the falls and cascades make it very beanti-
full.
But n short distance above the falls is the
most remarkable sight We have ever seen.
In the high bluffs along the river there issue
numerous great springs, the waters of which
fall over the rocks and are lashed to silvery
streams and spray in their descent. The
first of these pours over a cliff in n semi
circular form and falls over two hundred
feet. AS seen from the opposite side of the
river it is very beautiful. Further down the
river is a much grander sight. A stream of
water equal to that of small river pours
out Of the rocks in siIyery streams of almost
every conceivable shape end form, while the
spaces between are lined with moss and
shrubs, SO that it presents an appearance of
an immense gotto. Letter IN Tie Omaha

TWO ROYAL COACHES.

A yiyaeious correspondent of the Hart

Castle, writes; Nothing shows the progress
of ideas more than the contrast between the
plain coach used by Queen Victoria and the
gilded chariot OF George III. The former
is like those seen in Central Park. Perhaps
u little more substantially built, the seats
cushioned with dark navy blue cloth the
only ornament being the royal crest embla-
aoned on the panels. In this case it is

UGLY PEOPLE AND BIG NOSES.

Napoleon was not the first person to de-
clare preference for men with big noses.
A century before his birth the author of
" Nugm Eenales," in response to his own
question, pronounced the biggest nose the
best nose,n instancing the cases of the Ro-
man emperors. Numa's nose was half a foot
long, and earned for him the honorable sur
name of Pompilius. According to Plutarch,
Lycugus and Scion ran to nose, and SO did
oil the Roman kings except Tarquinius
Superbus, and he was dethroned. Homers
nose was seven inches long. :" Big noses"
says Vigneul Marville, are held in honor
everywhere in the world except among the
Chinese and the Tartars.n Titus Livius,
Ovid Camons, and St. Charles Borronco
may be enumerated among the men Of
enviable nasal Development. Henri Ills
brother, Francis, duke Of Alencon, had his
nose fairly cleft in two by the ravages Of
smallpox; fact which inspired the cpl

attempt on the friendly city Of Antwerp.

SCENES IN CHINA TOWN.

San Francisco correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press, in giving description
of China Town, writes =" Our policeman
led us to an opium joint We shaddered
as we looked into the dark, damp under
ground den, at the end of which we could
see the faintest glimmer of light. by the
aid Of n candle we made our way across the
place and to the side of a man sire tche
upon mating and already half stupefed by
the opium he was smoking. His wild
bright eyes and his thin, haggard face told
of the terrible power of his vice. He was,
indeed, a frightful object, and when the
officer took his pipe for moment, to show
us its structure, he followed ii with his glar-
ing eyes, ms If his existence was bound up
in it, We were glad to hasten away from
this sad place, which at night would be filed
with men. smoking away their lives; and, as
we drew long breaths of the pure, sweet
air outside, we reflected upon the RESPONSE
bility Of the English government that forced
the opium trade upon China. Another
underground room remained to be visited,
which, we we're told by our escort, was
sixty-seven feet long and nine feet wide.
Into this den this officer one night chased a
thief, and, after aresting him, went back
and counted ninety-two sleeping men. There
was not window and but single door to
the apartment and they were one above the
other like the boxes in a post Office. He
made hastily computation which showed
that the number of cubic inches of air for
each person was very small. We next looked
into an old decayed building where, we were
assured, l,500 Cinnamon lodged. We explor-
ed one or two dark passages, from one OF
whicha barking cur rushed out and we begged
be excused from going further, assuring our
guide that we had faith enough to accept all
his statements.
