cles.
No visit to Me leo is complete with
out visit to the Plaza del Toros for the
purpose of Witnessing one OF the Ma
tional stitutions-namely, bull
fight. In the Federal District, or with
in the limits of the State of Mexico,
bull-tighting is prohibited. The reason
for this prohibition is on account of its
drawing too great a crowd to the State
Capital In all or nearly all the other
State of the Republic the ort is per-
mitted, and there is hardly a Sunday
which passes without seeing one or
more of these contests. Sundag is the
gala day of Mexico, and the towns are
posted up with notices of the corrida in
flaming bills of all colors of the rain
bow several days beforehand. The
bull-tights near the City of Mexico are
usually held in the State of Hidelgo,
about seven or eight miles from the
capital, and the horse-cars are usually
in waiting to convey the spectators to
the Plaza del Toros in the Huisachal.
The fare there from the capital is a
reall y medic, or about eighteen cents
Mexican money. and upon arrival there
a programme is thrust into the hands of
the intend ng spectators, and as it may
be interesting. Translated copy is
hereunder appended:

Islands OF Boston Harbor.

SloopS and schooners can find their
way into the harbor through a norther-
ly passage called Broad Sound, but for
| larger vessels the only entrance is that
| known as NaEtasket Roads. 1t is
scarcely more than a mile wide. At
one side of it sore pale yellow bluffs,
deeply grooved by the rain, shoot up
perpendcularly to n breezy houseless
| plateau. the advantages OF which were
recognized in Revolutionary times, rs a
series OF old redoubts testify. At the
seward extremity these blu IS termi-
nate in Point Allerton, and on the
south they slope easily down to the
ab-llke crescent of sAantasket Beach.
AT the other side group OF
islands form natural breakwater,
shouldering out the boisterous seas,
and although the islands WITHIN TIE har-
Dor add little to its attra tiveness. these
are memorably picturesque in " Id
and rugged way. Eight of them are
high enough ont of the water to be hab.
liable, and the group includes the shay
Rocks and the Graves, which the sea
keeps for lis own. The largest is the
Great Brewster, viii h is sandy and
barren, facing the sea with yellow
escarpment like the bluffs on the oppo-
site shore: the others are masses of rock
of irregular outline, which were prob
ably showed out into their present posi-
ton by an ancient gla Ter. and though
they have arabic surfaces, these are
few points in their circumference at
which a landing can be effected hese
are the Middle Brewster. the Outer
Brewster, the Little Brewster, Green
Island, Calf Island, and Lit lie Calf
Island. The Little Brewster is the
site OF the graceful white pillar of
Boston Light, which marks the en-
trance of the harbor for inward bound
mariners, and its only occupants are
the keepers with their wives and chill
dren. The rest of the group are I'M
inhabited during the greater part of
the year, except by few lobster men,
who ha e yielded nothing OF their
simplicity to modern in uences, and
seem TO be unconscious of the city
VIII oh frets and tolls so near them,
though, if they cared to think of it, a
purplish-gray cloud would reveal its
proximity by day, and dome OF pale
light by night.
Along the coast, both north and
soutn, the summer boarder and the
revealing excursionist have full sway;
big hotels have been built for them.
and after dark the summer sky is set
laze by the sheaves of rockets ex-
ploded for their amusement But the
Brewsters and their sister islands have
been left happily alone. No ferry or
telegraph links them with the main
land, and no wharf is there to make
landing easy. The only why by which
they can be reached is in a private boat,
and when the easterly gales are blow
ing, iiinging the surf over the Graves
and the shag Rocks, and dashing the
spray as high as the top of the Middle
Brewster. nothing can approach or
leave them, and the. isolation Is COM

A Glimpse at Tunis.

The town is small, fiat, dusty, and
uninteresting. 1t has one broad prin-
cipal street leading down to the rail-
road station, with numerous small.
dirty lanes branching off from it. The
streets were filled with Arabs, Moors.
Jews, etc., of all shades and color.
About the coflee-houses were groups of
French and Tunisian soldiers, VIII. lie the
background was filled in with piys.
donkeys. dogs. and camels. Here we
first saw the peculiar costume worn by
the Jewish women, consisting of a
pointed cap, a blouse reaching a little
below the vast. and tight white trou
les, with small slippers protecting half
the foot. As we passed along the Street
we saw several primitive fiour-mlls in
operation. Two millstones are placed
one on the other: in the upper stone a
long pole is fixed; to the extremity of
this is attached mule, which walks
about in circle, slowly grinding the
corn into q coarse powder. Bos.
