A Typical Mexican Civ,


A Typical Mexican City.
A correspondent writes that Chihua-
hua is a fine and typical Mexican city
of 10000 inhabitants, of which number
perhaps 2O00 are of foreign birth
Germans, Americans and some Chinese.
l was told that there was probably not
half a dozen stoves in use by the entire
Mexican population, nearly all of their
cooking being done over an earthen
vessel in which a few sticks OF bits of
charcoal are placed, or more rarely in
an open fireplace. Coal has not been
found in Northern Mexico, and all of
the wood is in the form Of faggots Of
pinon or liveoak, brought from the
mountains on the backs of burros,
each load of which (about three or
four armfuls) costs 80 cents, and must
pay municipal duty on entering the
city. Even at the leading hotel, only
the kitchen and one other room Occur
pied by the family Of the proprietor
has stove or any provision for fire.
In the Office the only heat was derived
from small earthen vessel set in the
corner, in which some charcoal was
burning. Glass windows are also a
luxury in the city, and in all Mexico.
A few of the stores and better dwell
ings have recently placed glass win
dows in the street-fronts, but by far
the greater portion are closed with
heavy wooden shutters behind grated
iron bars, and when light is required
either the entire shutter is opened or a
smaller one set into the larger. As in
the city all houses are built on the
street line, and are rarely over one
story in hight, a person walking along
the narrow sidewalks can easily look
in through these openings and observe
the domestic economy of the occupants.
The houses all have one main entrance,
with large double doors leading
through a passage to the plazita, or
inner court, and through this access is
had to all the apartments. These
plazitas are universally open to the
sky, and nearly all Of them are filed
with flowers and trees, such as the fig,
pomegranate, orange, ETC., which, be.
ing sheltered from the windows, grow
luxuriantly. Few of the rooms, ex-
cept those fronting the street, have
any windows, all light coming in
through the open door, which fact /
mournfully comprehend, as l am nov
occupying such a room, and am COM
PEELED, for light, to sit with my doors
wide open, and my chilled fingers can
with difficulty guide my pen.
| Fortunately these spasms of cold
are rare and Of brief duration. Ex
Gov. George 7. Anthony, of Kansas
tells me that two weeks ago he coult
have given me luscious strawberrie:
and cream, the fruit picked from hi
own vines in the open air, and ever
now his garden is bright with rose
and fragrant flowers. He says tina

Burl-iEh Forgets Which Side He is on,
Washington, Feb. l3.-The fight over
the division of Dakota is getting to be
interesting. The Dakotaians here in fa-
vor OF division hope to convert the otLer
faction and present united front for ell
concerned in the scheme. A meeting
was held this evening. having for its OBJ.
ject the harmoniEing of all parties on
this question. It is understood that if
the north Dakota people Can secure the
at Bismarck they are Inclined to favor
division. A very funny little incident
occurred in the house committee on ter.
ritories while Dakota matters were under
discussion incidentally. Several Dakota
gentlemen we're present and made some
remarks. Among them them we're Gov.
Ordway aud e1-Delegate Burlelgh. The
latter was allowed few MINUTES in
which to explain his position on the bill
to authorize the constitutional conven.
tioD. He is friend of Gov. Ordway
aud was supposed to be in favor of the
bill. Instead, however, of combining
himself to the point at issue. he soon
d'ifted OF into another channel, aud for.
got the bill entirely. He said what the
people Of Dakota wanted most vas to
get rid OF the appointive officers of tine
territory aud elect their own officers
This was very unkind thrust at Gov.
Ordway, who quickly called him to order
and back to the matter
under discussion. Mr.. Burleigh be.
came somewhat excited, and exclaimed
TINT the bill did not amount to ANYTHING
1t was only piece Of paper aud would

to say that tue people were clamotou,

ney in behalf Of the Ordway admission

when Nehemiah called him to order that

tue constitutionality of the commission
which removed the capital to Bismarck,
and il he decides in the affirmative, az
certain friends of his hope he will do,
there will be so much indignation
among the people Of southern Dakota
that the next legislature will be elected
wholly with the view of again changing
the location Of the capital. The
Legislature can control the matter and
will be SO constituted that it will make
the change. Judge Palmer will be
charged With making PARTISAN ruling.
while on the other hand, if some man
not living in the territory should receive
the appointment of judge, his decision
on this question would be regarded as
impartial aud would probably be more
acceptable to the people. This, at all
events. is the view taken By certain
Dakotaians here, who apparently do not
believe in PaImer's appointment.
