MEXICO'S FUTURE.
Dillon.

Very brilliant Picture oft by MIR. John
Dillon.
Mr. John A. Dillon delivereda lecture
In 1t. Louis ON the future of Mexico.
The first part of his lecture treated of
the history of that country and the
various elements that went to make
up the character of the people
and the nation. He then de-
scribed the Mexican of to-day, pre-
facing his description with the state
ment that he would judge him ms he
would one of any other nation which
had the same antecedents and the same
difficulties to struggle against. The
Mexican was brave and would face
death with more stoicism than the In
dian. He WAS hardy, and was indus
trious. He was ignorant, was poor.
and in the cities was vicious. Some
MeNicans We're cruel, vindictive and
treacherous, but ii was as wrong 10
take one of these as the typical NIexi-
can as IT would be to take one of our
criminals as - typical American. AS
To the future of Mexico, il had n bright
outlook. There were great efforts
being made for general education. The
religion was chiefly Roman Catholic
but too liberal zeal had driven away
the monks and nuns from the places
where they were most needed. The
lecturer thought that law should be
repealed, and that more general ae-
ceptanee of the Catholic religion would
be beneficial TO the Mexicans. Ii was
ioiiy TO endeavor To convert them to
Professionalism, for they would be Cath
OltcS or be intidels Cntholicist,, ,,.oe,
the only religion which could control
their hot, passionate natures. Mr.. Dill
lon then described the country, dwell
ing ON its natural beauty, the fertility
OF It's soil, IFS rich mineral resources.
the nigh planes Of country, the hracing
air, etc. He related the progress made
10y the country during the past decade,
spoke of the railways, the press, and
the new Industries, and predicted from
them splendid future for the country.

4 BANISHED MURDERESS.
Arrival CA the North Carolina Coast of u
Woman Exiled from France.

Raleigh, y. c., January = "A most
sensational incident occurred yester-
day at Beaufort, n. G. While aheavy
gale was blowing a large schooner APP
peared oil the bar, and lowered Il boat
in which were woman. two children
and three men. The boat, with much
effort of the Oarsman, reached the pier,
when it was seen by the great
crowd gathered that the people who
made such strange visit
were foreigners, whose lam
gtIage was strange, while their
costume ana manner were equally so.
There was made on landing profuse
display Of gold. and excitement ran
high. The woman, who was of fine
appearance and aristocratic in her
bearing, was finally conversed with.
her language being French. She sta
ted that she was Il resident OF ST.
Michael's island, was accused of pois-
onlng her husband, Il man of great
wealth. She was tried and sentenced
TO perpetual Punishment, this being Il
1mmutation of the death sentence.
the decision having been that she com
mitted the murder. She converted
her property into funds and secured
the cooperation of the captain and
crew ofa whaling vessel lying at the
island. She had been separated from
her two small children, but these We're
brought to her, her taller and
two guards having been literally
brlbed. These three men, with the
woman and the two little children,
boarded the schooner ut night and es-
capped, all having been secreted OH the
vessel The lives of the taller and
guards were forfeited by their net and
they will make this country their
home. The party of fugitives, after
remaining some hours ut Beaufort
took the train for Goldsboro, North
Carolina. The schooner, after laying
of and on for day, came in to-day.
Her captain refused to answer any
inquiry. The mate stated that the
woman had paid the captain and crew
over $1,000 for bringing them away
and other aid, and that the mates
share was 81 900, The woman stated
that Boston was her destination.
