The National Drink of the Mexicans.

T.. [Cor. Boston Herald
The stranger. in Mexico is struck by
the prevalence on the tables of bottles of
miIky-looking fluid, resembling at sight
the absinthe and water common to the
Partisan sboulevards. Tits, however,
whittier looking than that. This is the
pulque, the national drink, which is to
Mexico what lager beer is to Germany
and the United States. The stranger
usually begins by expressing the great
est disgust at the drink, and winds up by
becoming very fond of it in the course Of
two or three weeks. had acquired a
liking for gose, the peculiar local beer
of Leipzig, during long stay in that
city, and as pulque resembles it very
much IN taste, though not in appearance,
[ took to it at once. Both have the
same sourish, mousy and cucumber
taste, but pulque is sappy and slippery.
It is very innocent tasting beverage,
and one would think it no more intoxi-
eating than milk, but in reality it is
fully as strong as the same quantity of
lager beer. It is the favorite MONDAY
drink, but it will not keep until night.
For this reason it is a blessing to Mex
leo, for the lower classes, who drink
nothing else, cannot carouse after night
fall, when they may become disorderly
and dangerous.

The death of GOVERNOR STEPHENS
of Georgia recalls an article from the
American Register concerning him
and another distinguished congress-
man. 1t says We wo't of two men
who served long years in con gress,
whose speeches never underwent re-
vision or correction always appear
Ing in the Congressional Record pre-
cisely as they were ut
tered. Mr.. STEPHENS OF Georgia
used to sit in his wheeled chair Just in
front of the speakers desk and pro-
nounced his speeches in clear, unhesi-
Eating, naturally consecutive sentences,
while members crowded around him
and the galleries and reporters listened
in rapt attention. He never with
held his remarks for revision" None
was needful. His rhetoric was rs fault
less as his logical acumen.
The other gentleman is MIR. CeNK-
Ling. As the congressional Record Is
such u diabolical perversion of the
actual iacts, and speeches after
being withheld for revision" were so
changed from what they were when
delivered, it is quite compliment to
these gentlemen that their uttcances
were nj once so accurate and that they
never required editing. Mr.. CoNK-
ifNG'S arguments, like his oratory,
WERE never at fault in selecting verbal
vehicles. Henever deigned to appeal
to reporters or printers. He relied
upon his magnificent self-hood and it
never failed him, Using precisely the
right words to convey his studied
meaning, reportorial errors were nj
most impossible; and mankind, While
these two men are remembered, can
always have the satisfaction of
knowing that when reading their
speeches they con over lust
what was said, whether in the
ardur Of sudden uustudied debate, or
when more elaborate disquisitions
were pronounced ON great questions
before the country, Other members
of the house and OF the senate are as
accurate ialkersa and thinkers, no doubt.
NJ Mr.. SrErIIENs aud Mr.. CoNKLING,
but the paucity OF these is enough
to Justify the designation of two men
whose spoken addresses are as admire
bic as their written and studied rheto-
ric. Few talk MS they write, and accu-
rate modes of expression can only
spring from accurate thinking.
Thought always selects prop
er cabriolet or heavy ear
riage or awkard g,-cart in
which TO take an airing. The speaker
commonly confesses the greater anna
Guilty involved in the attainment of
excellence rs a writer. Criticism is
disarmed by the noise and rafting
machinery OF clocution; but when the
publisher or orator descends, through
the press, the pathway 10 oblivion,
every loterer by tho wayside contem-
plates the funeral procession of words
with cold Indifference, and every un-
Vanished spot and every missing
spoke in thlsspoiSen eloquence becomes
a spook to repel Ignorance and excite
the derision OF tasteful intelligence,
