Tne Mexican Congress,

A letter from Mexico, describing sit
ting of Congress, says: The members
wear faultless suits of black Many OF
them. perhaps majority, have white
neckties aud white gloves. 1t is almost
full dress affair. They are line looking
body of men. Some of them have faces
to be remembered. There is an astonish-
ing uniformity of complexion. Black
eyes, black hair, in whatever direction
the observer turns There is not one
blonde in the building, except among the
handful of foreigners, who are attentive
spectators. Most OF the members, too,
are of only middle age, or younger.
Three gray and as many bald
heads exhaust the list of OK
ceptions TO this rule. One in
stinctivcly falls TO specializing why
there are no old men for council here.
The most natural conclusion is that the
men OF the last generation either failed
to reach middle life, because of the fire.
quent bloody political revolutions of
their times, or else continue to be SO far
behind the hour that the present pro-
gressive age has no use for them. Mod
ern ideas are certainly gaining ground in
Mexico. And it is fitting, il not newt
able, that modern men, and they only,
should expound them. There ought to
he large Attendance of fair women to
greet these brave men and Jealous legis-
iators. But thore are not two dozen
