The MEXICAN CENTRAL trains are now
running from Ell Paso to the City of Mexico
on schedule time Of fifty-eight hours. This
is q decided improvement over the old stage
coach trip of two weeks.
The fare, fifty-two dollars and fifty cents,
is also an improvement over the old time
when it cost fortune to visit the "Hals of
the Montezumas."
The opening of the road in the spring of
the year is most opportune in more ways
than one. 1t gives the capitalist and pros
pector chance to begin operations during
the best season of the year. though, for that
matter, the season rarely conflicts with any
occupation whatever in Mexico.
1t is most opportune for the tourist who
will wish to get away from the sultry days
of our own summer to the magnificent sum-
mer of the Mexican Plateau.
The country through which the road runs
| is situated at an elevation of from five to
seven thousand feet above the sea-level, and
its climate is simply superb. In the Oddity
of the people, tie quaintness of the cities
and antiquity of its ruins, Mexico rivals
Europe itself.
Until Mexico is Amcricanized, at least a
trip to that Spanish America will be as
interesting as the 'grand tour" while the
great difference in expense will make it for
most of us the favorite.
1t is noticeable that the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe and Mexican Central are the
only roads that meet in a Union Depot at Ell
Paso, where trains stand side by side; thus
avoiding troublesome transfer across the
city. Another conspicuous feature of the
train service is the arrangement by which
those coming to Ell Paso over the Santa Fe
make almost immediate connection with the
Mexican trains, while by other routes the
traveller suffers a delay of some fifteen hours.
Perhaps this was an accident, and, perhaps
it wasn't; at all events, the average tourist
will take the quickest and most convenient
route.
The Santa Fe trains run from Kansas City
to Ell Paso without change of cars of any
kind, SO that the companies have practically
through route from the Missouri River tC
the City of Mexico.
One of the pleasautest things about triI
along this route is the entie absence o
danger from the diseases incident to a jour
ney on the low lands, for the Mex can Cen
trails entire cOu'se is on the gr at plateau
from five to seven thousand feet above tn,
sea-level.
r The summer climate, on account of tn
0 elevation, is simply magnificent, and will
. always hold for this route the favor of til
: public, while its American compadre, tn
G Santa Fe, will open the eyes Of the easter
tourist with their grand hotel at the La
Vegas-Hot Springs, now being rebuilt OF
grander scale than before, with the ancien
= city of Santa Fe and the vine-clad valley {
10 the Rio Grande.

Mr.. Joseph Fullmer, the well-known res
taurateur of this city, related 10 represen-
tatve of this journal an odd experience of
his own few days ago. Mr.. Fullmer stated
that girl help in the house was very much
startled to notice that a glass goblet stand
ing ON level top marble wash-stand moved
several times from its place without any WIS.,
ible cause-there being no other person
present in the room. In very sceptical
frame of mind he went upstairs, took seat
near the table and awaited developments.
The girl left the room, and in few moments
the goblet glided swiftly across the table
till it seemed about to fall into Mr.. Fullmer's
lap. lie took it up and examined it most
carefully. There was nothing attached to it
TO account for the motion; the table top was
quite level and second goblet beside it
was unaffected. He replaced the first COB
let and again itmoved swiftly but noiselessly
in his direction. Mr.. Fullmer confessed to our
representative that he was sorely bewildered
by the occurrence, and would like some
explanation of it from his scientific friends.

The most important part of picnic is not
the weather or the place or the dinner. You
may choose the most beautiful spot in the
world, and spread the most delicious lunch
ever prepared, and yet have the whole thing
complete failure, simply because the
company was not well selected. Out-of-doors,
where people are free from formality, unless
they are congenial friends and what Mrs.
Whitney calls "Real Folks" they will be
likely to feel ill at ease, and miss the sup
port given by company, clothes and manners.
Small picnics, for this reason among Others,
are usually much pleasanter than large
ones.
In making up the party, be sure to leave
behind the girl who is certain to be too
warm or too cold, or think some other place
better than the one where she is, who has a
''horrid time" if she has to submit to any
personal inconvenience for the sake of others;
and with her the boy who loves to tease, and
who is quite sure that his way is the only
good way. Put into their places some others,
young Or old, who simply love pleasures,
and are ready to help Others to enjoy them
Next in importance to the company is the
place. 1t must not be at great distance
or you will all be tired mot to say cross, whel
you arrive there. 1t must be reasonably
shady, and not too far from supply of goot
drinking water. If the company are to walk
you must be especially careful not to b'
over-burdened with baskets and wraps, TO
the bundles which seem so light when yol
started are sure to weigh down much NOR
heavily before you reach your destination
BE careful to have this fairly distributed.
Never start until you are sure that yol
know just where you are going, and the hes
way to get there. Wandering abouttO choose
place, and thinking constantly to find on
more desirable, is very fatignng. The mat
ter should be settled before hand by two O
three of the party, and the others should g
straight to the spot, and make the best of il
If any do not like it, they can choose dii
ferent place when their turn comes to max
the selection.-'St. Nicholas" for July.

An EDITORS work.

Some people estimate the ability of per-
iodical and the talent of its editor by the
quantity of its original matter. 1t is COM
paratively an easy task for frothy writerto
string out column of words upon any and
all subjects. His ideas may flow in one
weak, washy, everlasting food, and the COM
mand OF his language may enable him to
string them together like punches of onions,
and yet his paper may be but meager and
poor concern. Indeed the mere writing part
of editing paper is but a small portion OF
the work.
The care, the time employed in selecting,
is far more important, and the fact of a good
editor is better shown by his selections than
The Wilmingtonian., 1884-07-19

anything else; and that, we know, is alf u g
battle. But, we have said, an editor ought
to be estimated, his labor understood and
appreciated, by the general conduct of his
paper--ts tone, its uniform, consistent
course, aims, manliness, its dignity, and its
propriety. To preserve these as they should
be preserved is enough to occupy fully the
time and attention of any man. II to this
be added the general supervision of the
details OF publication which most editors
have to encounter the wonder is how they
find time to write at ALL Courier-JourndL

JUST THE THING.

Want

FilIs tbe Bill TO Dot, and as Things
Get Hot Politically Everybody will
Want if.
The special edition OF the B. iS o. Red
Book, devoted to the history of the Republic
can party and its antecedents, is an almost
indispensable publication to those at all
interested in the development of the CAM
raign OF the year Great care is manifested
in the compilation of data, and while every
thing is stated in the most concise manner.
the information is so clear and explicit as to
be readily compreheuded. The chapter oe-
voted e. the origin of the party and its
national outcome fl ON the dismcmberment of
prior parties is of exceeding interest, as is
also the point showing party policy as
expressed through Congr ssonll action. The
condensed proceedings of the National Con
ventions OF the parties, from the earliest
period of the country's history to the present,
is of no ordinary value, and it is a thing never
befoie attempted in such foi m of publication.
Indeed it would be difficult to tell of all the
important information gathered together
and shown so intelligently in the little book.
Those who desire so invaluable text
book for handy reference, as matters grow
interesting, will notl delay long in enclosing
a two-cent stamp with their address to G. X.
Lord, Baltimore, this being the only requis-
tie to secure copy. In addition to the data
having direct bearing upon the one party,
there is vast amount of information given
as regards both parties, and with the Red
Book at hand no one need be at loss for an
authority to settle almost any question as to
political history which may come up. In
common with all the B. & 0. publications, ii
is model of perfect Typography, the make
up and type used generally being very far

THE INATTENTIvE PHARMACIsT.

THE INATTENTIyE PHARMACIST.
The careless druggist is more to be dreaded
than an interviewing newspaper reporter.
Hardly week passes away from the United
States into eternity without taking along
with it several victims of the inattentive
pharmacist. The absent-minded dispenser
materia metlica should himself be dispensed
WITH for he is even more dangerous than
the practising physician. Between the two,
the sick man is not sure OF his life The
giddy manipulation of salutiferous remedies
is even more dangerous than the cheerful
humorist who fUhdles the unloaded gun. The
prospective victim of the unlnaded gun has
a chance to dodge, or he can check the
would be Bogardus by belaboring him into
insensibility with chair. But what pr otec-
ton has the public against the man who
substitutes arsenic for magnesia, and writes
the victims name in large letters on the
bottle, as If it were tombstone, aud then
sends it to him with directions how to take
1t?
AS a general thing, the proprietor of the
drug store does not commit these assassna-
tions himself. The man who has his money
invested in a drug store knows that it does
not pay,in the long run to furuish.cash custo-
