Much has been said and written about the
extent and possibilities of these Mexican ha-
ciendas, but probably few people realize the
enormous extent of some of them. In the
central and northern states of Mexico are
found estates large enough to hide many
principality of Europe or states like our own
little "Rhody." A million and a half of
acres-of this fruitful soil which bears every
thing grown in both temperate and tropical
zones, and produces two crops a years. a
neat little farm, by no means to be ode
spised, +" as the immortal Sairy Camp said Of
'svittals.r The famous Solado ranch, for ex
ample. contains over six hundred square
miles. 1t lies partly in the states Of Nuevo
Leon. Coahuila, Zacatecas and San Luis Po-
tosi, on the highway to the City Of Mexico,
and on the line Of the new Mexican Central
railway. 1t is at an elevation OF 1000 feet,
on the famous central table-lands of the re-
public. Its boundaries extend more than a
hundred miles from north to south. Chains
of mountains, how rich in mineral wealth no
man knows, traverse ii, and lourishing farms
int mining towus are met with at frequent
intervals. The fact is, all Mexico is owned
by u comparatively few individuals, which is
the reason why there is such a wide distinc-
ton of caste and so little progress in agricul-
ture and manufactures. Generally the pro-
prietor of these vast estates enjoys life abroad
or in the City OF Mexico, and his poems liv-
ing on the land take about as much interest
in the cultivation thereof as would negro
slaves without an oveIseer.

Do you fully appreciate tho dominance of
the nose over the other features of the facet
In the last Lydia Thompson burlesque COM
pany that came to America was a chorus girl
to whom n few lines were given to speak. She
had a pleasant voice, a fine figure, much apt
ness, and indeed all the requisites for advancing
on the stage, excepta pretty face. And, when
her features came to be scrutinized, it could
be seen that her nose was wholly to blame,
for its Roman shape unfeminized a counten-
nnce that would otherwise have been delicate
and regular. Well, Billy Mestayer, the
Tourists man. is said to have engaged her,
but she has a new name and a new nose. She
was broken in various places by a railroad
accident in England a year ago, and her
nasal things worst of all. The surgeon tol6
her" says the jocose Mestayer, that her bones
could all be set in good shape, but that the
cartilage of the nose was likely to resist his
efforts to fix it as it was before. Never you
mind that she exclaimed; any change is
bound to DO an improvement. Go right
ahead on it, He put her nose in splints as
well as be could, and let it take its chances.
Well, sir, the breakago Strengthened it out;
that is, it took the big angle out, though
some new and smaller variations from perfect
symmetry were introduced. On tile whole,
however, there was a vast change for the
better. Most important of all, the heavy,
masculine expression, that had been the chief
fault of her face, was gone-completely
knocked out-and in its place was a decidedly
pleasing, piquant cast of countenance. The
new nose is a trifie irregular-not the sort of
a nose to bo easily classified but it is in
,lined to be prettily quizzical Anyhow, that
smash-up was a stroke of good fortune for
her, because it removed the one thing that
prevented her from becoming a successful
actress" AS Mestayer won't give the name
of the girl, you can do as you please about
believing that she exists

LoNGsTREET AT A FARL.
The Old Soldier Tells in Illinois
story OF His Amnesty.
[Chicago Tribune.l

ISAAACakO 1IlDuut.
The old white whiskered, white haired
man, dressed in black broadcloth, with a
b~outonnierc in his lapel-the man of whom
Robert E. Lee always asked when the rebel
lines were w~avering-stood up. Turning his
back on the great gathering across the course,
he faced the select and distinguished coterie
in the judges stand, and said in a low tone:
MR. PRESIDENT, LADIES AND GENTLE
MEN: am indebted to the officers OF this
agricultural society for this honor to-day,
and l thank you for it.n Then, turning to
his audience, he said in a voice which failed
to reach very far, Far away from my
southern home l have come to enjoy this
occasion We are here to prepare a way
whereby we may become a more homogen-
eous people. The soldiers Of the north and
OF the south were the first to bring about
this blessing of goodwill. After the war
was over l went to Washington, where /
visited my old friend and school-mate, Gen.
Grant Ho asked me if 1 was ready to be
amnestied, and when l told him yes he gave
me a strong letter to President johnson, and
l called on him the next day. After a
a long talk he put me off until
the next day. Then there was another long
talk, and finally President johnson said to
me; There are three men in this country who
can never enjoy the benefits of amnesty
Jen Davis, X. Il. Lee, and yourself l said
70 him, after thanking him for placing me in
the di -tinguished company he did: Mr.. Pres
ldent, those who are forgiven most love the
most With that l went back to my home
in Georgia. A year after a petition for me
went up, and Gen. Grant and Gen. Pope went
in my behalf in person to see it through, and
they did. l felt hat l had not loved the
Union before as l did then, and again l said,
Those who are forgiven most love the
most GCheers,1 L felt the influences of
that tender chord which had been touched
by the people Of the North-by its
women" Here Gen. Longstreet hesitated
and faltered. Turning his back on the
audience again he faced the ladies in the
Judges stand, and looking at them a few sec
onds, began in a very low tone: "How can
!, a poor soldier, reared in and accustomed
to the rough life of camp, express myself
while looking into the bright eyes | see. l
fail to express-I do not know how to speak
L THE hesitancy was becoming painful,
and the audience back of him could not di-
VIM what he was doing or saying, while
those in the stand looked at him steadfastly.l
II can only say-in the language of my old
commander, Il must surrender" He sat
down at once, a few cheers went up, and as
the sun was beating on his white hairs u lady
offered him her sunshade, which he held
above him the remainder of the sitting.

Some startling testimony was unexpect-

Mr.. Charles T. Chance, Of Somerville g
currier by trade, was testifying. He had a
prominent part III organizing the Curriers'
Union, and was Eblacklistedf therefor, SO,
that he has since had great difficulty in
finding work. His reputation for veracity
is unimpeachable. After he had given
some unimportant testimony he was asked
by Senator Blair If he had anything else to-
