A Mexican Hacienda.

Much, says Il correspondent of the In
dianapolis .bWmal. has been said and
written about the extent and possibilities
of these Mexican hacicndas, but probably
few people realize the enormous extent Of
some of them. In the Central and
Northern States of Mexico are found es.
tatcS large enough to hide many Il princi-
patty of Europe or States like our own lit
tie ''Rhody." \ million and a half of acres
oft this fruitful soil which bears every
thing grown in both temperate and tropi.
cal zones, and produces two crops a year
is a neat little farm, by no means to be
''dcspiscd," as the immortal Sairy Camp
said of '.vittals." The famous Solado
ranch, for example, contains over six
hundred square miles. 1t lies partly in
the States of Nuevo Leon, Coahulia,
Zacatccas and San Luis Potosi, on the
highway to the city of Mexico, and on
the line of the Mexican Central railway.
1t is at at an elevation of 1000 feet. on
the famous central table-lands of the re-
public. Its boundaries extend more
than n hundred miles from north to
south. Chains of mountains, how rich
in mineral wealth no man knows, traverse
it, and tlourishing farms and mining
towns are met with at frequent intervals.
The fact is, all Mexico is owned by Il
comparatively few individuals. which is
the reason why there is such a wide dis
tinction of caste and so little progress in
agriculture and manufactures. Generally
the proprietor of these vast estates enjoys
life abroad OF in the city of Mexico, and
his poems living on the land take about
us much interest in the cultivation
thereof as would negro slaves without
ali oyerseer. -

WISE WORDS.

By the errors of others, the wise man
corrccts his own.
Value the friendship of him who stands
by YOU in time of storm.
Knavcs will thrive where honest plain
ness knows not how to live.
Greatness lies not in being strong. but
in the right using Of strength.
4 failure establishes only this, that
our determination to succeed was not
strong enough.
Intcmpcrancc in aims is the source of
many of the lifc-failurcs, which we con
stantlv witness.
Always speak the truth. Make few
promises. Live up to your engagements,
Keep your own secrets if you have any.
When you speak toa person look him
in the face. Good company and good
conversation are the very sincws of
virtue.
Life, in its very essence, is movement
and transition. Not what We have, but
what we gain or lose; not what we are
becoming, not where we stand, but
whence we came and whittier we 60,
constitute it's real interest and worth.
TO be good and do the most good we
can now and here, and to help others to
be and do the same: to seek with all onr
might the highest welfare of the world
we live in and the realization of its ideal
greatness and noblcncss and blcsscdncss
this Is religion.
Thinking much about self, especially
the impressions we have made or arc 60
ing to make upon others, tend always to
deprive us of sclf-possession. We grow
anxious and pcrturbed, lose simplicity
and mturalncss, and fall into the very
plumbers that We dread. And frequent
failures weaken our courage and make us
shrink more and more from what we
ought boldly to approach.

Gittin' Dad Home"

The other day a mar who was staggcr-
ing drunk navigated up Michigan avenue
to Third street, and there flung himself
down on the ground for Il sleep. He had
lain there about ten minutes when a boy
about nine years old, his bare feet red
with cold, and his hair showing through
the crown of his old hat, came down the
street as if in search, and soon espied the
drunkard. The lad shook him vigorously.
and directly the man sat up, secured a
brace for his back, and growled out
"Whazzer want wiz me ~
''It's Jimmy, dad-it's little Jim" was
the reply.
"Whozc lizzie Jimmy? 2"
"Why, dad, don't you know me I'm
your own boy. Ma sent me to bring you
home. Can you walk9
II guess'er can" muttcrcd the man,
snd he tried to rise up. The boy gave
him all the aid possible, but he was not
half up when he lurched over and rolled
on his back.

down all of a sudden, ''you are drunk"

"Whaz!" exclaimed the man, as he
raised on his elbow.
"Thc boys are hooting at me now, and
the men across the road are laughing!
Oh, dad. it's awful to git drunk. It's
awful when you are ashamed to look any
one in the face"
The boy leaned against the wall and
hid his face and cried. The drunkard
rubbed his eyes, braced to a sitting posi-
ton, and by careful management reached
his feet.

when he was too far away to be suspected
of relationship the father braccd up and
started up the avcnu muttering:

A Centennial Cotton Exhibition.

About a year ago the Cotton Planters
association of America began to agitate
the question of holding a grand Centen-
NAL Cotton celebration, in New Orleans,
in December, 1884. The first bale OF
American cotton eve exported was
shipped to England in 1874, hence the
significance in having such exhibition
next year. But the idea has since grown
into Il worlds fair project, on a larger
scale than was even the Philadelphia
exhibition of 1876. The main building,
ms determined upon by the directors, will
cover an area of one million square feet,
or fifteen per cent. more than was occu-
pied by the principal structure at Phila-
dclphia, and, although it is yet too early
to say definitely whether the project will
be generally popular enough to insure a
brilliant success, on the elaborate plan
contemplated, it is certain that, in the
Crescent city and throughout the South,
as well as in many of our manufacturing
ccnters, the idea is received with much
enthusiasm, and warm promises of hearty
support are madc.-scientifc american.

The Scent of the Buzzard.

While digging sweet potatoes l no
ticed Il very luxuriant growth OF the vines

inquiry revealed the feet that a horse

wears before. Just then nothing I'M
pressed me in that connection save the
immensely of the potatoes which we
found everything these two graves, but III
the afternoon and during the following
dav. buzzards Swallowed the farm by
scores, seeming to obey from all quarters
of the heavens a mysterious summons to
convocation. / soon perceived the sweet
potato field was the radiant point of
each speeding shadow. Buzzard after
buzzard l traced as they appeared in vari-
Gus portions of the sky with half-folded
wings, reminding me of mute ;prial hounds
coming down the scent" their course
as swift, silent, and undertaking as an

| spectacle to bcholl them swoop within
a few feet of the horsc-hadcs, and rise
again with the slow, reluctant flaps. indl-
cativc of disappointment. then return to

the vultures in particular showed an
extreme faith in the guidance of its

4 Curious Transition Of Color.

In the twon of Springfield, Ohio, there
ives ayounggirl who is, and of right ought
to be a mulatto. but the color Of whose
skin is constantly changing from deep
brown to Il snowy white and back again
to its original hue. The Springfield
GIobc, which describes this phenomenon,
SAYS that she is the daughter Of IA wcll-to-
do drayman named James K"cmcr. The
transition is not effected by slow process
of uniform fading, but by the appearance
Of successive white spots which finally
monopolizc the entire surface. 1t follows
that ut certain stages of this transforma-
ton the girl presents an exceedingly
striking aspect. Thus the reporter of the
Gtohr, who WAS recently admitted to an
inspection of the phenomenon, remarks :
Every often the ncighbors say they arc
accustomed to seeing the child run about
during the warm weather with ono foot
and ankle as dark as any little colored
girls need be, and the other as white as
that of the faircst lady in the land. Ere
%oucntlv one hand is a dark mulatto color,
while the other will be spotlcssly white
and almost transparent. Often the child's
face will be entirely white but the evclids,
they retaining their original color. When
she closes her eyes the effect is striking.
Quite as often, the face will be entirely
brown and the eyelids alone white, giving
the girl an unearthly appearance when the
lids are down

Tiny Travellers.

Come here a moment" said Inspector

Garden, to a New York MmmM reporter
yesterday. The reporter followed, and
Mr.. Elchler held up q little German boy
about two years old. This is the young
est chap | have ever seen who came across
alone. 1t is n common thing for parents
to come to this country and 20 West, and
then after they make a little home for
themselves to send home fortheir children.
There was q German and his wife who

they came here they told me they had left
three little children behind them with
their grandparents, and wanted to know
if I would look out for them on their ar

see these little fellows going alone so
