Peonage in Mexico.

The system Of peonage still exists in
Mexico. In case of debt the debtors
personal services, or wages earned from
another employer, belong to his creditors
until the debt is paid; but it has been
modified Of late years, so that it does not
now apply to debts amounting to over
ten dollars If man trusts another for
more than that sum. he does so at his
own peril. if he has no property. He
can command his services up TO ten
dollars worth. but no farther The old
life seryitnde is thus done away with. 10
a great extent, although many of the
lower classes manage to keep perpetually
in debt, and consequently, practically,
slaves. The law. whether it be good or
bad, is executed in Mexico.

Unnatural Natural History.

The pelican feeds its young with the
life blood from its own bleeding bo-
som. This is a beautiful mistake,
that will live forever in symbol and
legend The ''real live" pelican has
a large bag under her unwieldly
beak, and digging with the beak
toward the breast, she feeds her brood
and soils her feathers with red-stained
tidbits of fish from the bag. The
nightingale leans her breast against
thorn and sings in pain. In the old
poets not only has she a thorn in her
breast but she puts it there. Instead
of being the voice of lonely love she
ought to be the emblem of those dis
contented people who, in position ell
Viable to others, first make their own
troubles and then spend their lives in
decentralization. OF course the
nightingale is not such fool as she
looks in poetry. Swans are said to
sing death song; this is poetry too.
But they are Matched during thunder;
and this is prose-the belief of other
wise sensible folk. Crows and curlews
