Their Love of Admiration and Their Treat
ment by the Lords of Creation.
City of Mexico Letter.
The favorite hour for strolling about the
streets here, for the ladies. is in the morning
from about 8 till II o'clock. During those hours
you encounter throngs Of ladies, both Mexican
and foreigners, walking iesurely along, staring
in the shop windows, occasionally entering to
make their purchases or to pull over the dress
goods and trimmings and drive the clerks dis
tracted in the good old American lady's fashion
and then depart without buying anything, inst
the same as in the cities of the North.
The Mexican ladies love admiration, like to be
noticed, even stared at in the streets and all
public places by men. You can see this to be
the case by their pleased manner when they are
closely observed by strangers, particularly by
foreigners 1t is remarked upon by every for
eigner no matter Of what nationality, who comes
here. Probably the true reason for this is that
Mexican husbands, with rare exceptions are not
afectionate for long period after marriage;
they soon grow weary of their wives and seek
distraction and affection elsewhere than at
home. Furthermore the position Of the wife
here is not SO favored, so honored one
as it is in the United States. A shade of the
ancient Orientnl idea that wives should be the
slaves, the servents of their husbands, peryades
Mexican home life, and the wife is in many re
spccts, decidedly the inferior of her husband.
This inferiority is felt, not only in the lower
grades Of society, but even among the highest
classes. Though unackDowledged, perhaps, in
words, it is expressed in actions and in the rela
tions between husband and wife. Hence it is
not strange that Mexican women should seek
for admiration and sympathy from other men
as many of them have heard or read
of the superior position held by
women in American society, and Of the devotion
of the average American to his wife, and the
universal CALAMITY of the stronger sex toward
the (physically) weaker one in the United States,
IL is NOT strange that Mexican women of the

The Chess Board.

My little love, do you remember
Ere we were grown so sadly wise,
Those evenings in the bleak December,
Curtained warm from the snowy weather;
When you and played chess together,
Checlmated by each others eyes2
All still see your soft, white hand
lowering warm DER Queen and Knight,
Brave Pawns in valiant battle stand;
The double Castles guard the wings;
The Bishop bent on distant things,
Moves, siding through the fight.
Our fingers touch, our chances meet,
And falter; falls your golden hair
Against my cheek; your bosom sweet
is heaving. Down the field your Queen
Rides slow, her soldiery all between,
And checks me unaware.
All mel the little battles done;
Dispersed is all the chivalry;
Full many move, since then, have we
Mid Life's perplexing chequers made
And many game with Fortune played
What is it we have wont
This, this, at least--if this alone:
And never, never, never more,
As in those old still nights Of yore
(Ere we were grown so sadly wise)
Can you and shut out the skies,
Shut out the world and wintry weather,
And eyes exchanging warmth with eyes,
Play chess, as then we played togetherl

olevelana and .he BOOB Agent.


Speaking of Blaine's book reminds me Of
what heard in Boston The agent of Blaine's
book in Albany was anxious to have Governor
Ceveland's signature at the head of his list He
went to the Governors room day after day, and
finally caught Mr.. Cleveland. He asked the
great Governor to subscribe for Blaine's book.
The great Governor said he wanted Blaine's
book but that he had made it a hard and fast
rule not to put his name down any book
agents list He said he intended to buy Mr..
Blaine's book when it was published, but he
would not subscribe for it beforehand. The
agent was smart man What did he do7 He
knew Mr.. Cleveland. He did not go again to the
executive chambers He was too smart. He
looked about him and got the prettiest woman
Of certain kind he could get, and he sent her
to the virtuous Governor who was too good to
put his name down for Blaine's book. What
was the RESULT Grover Cleveland, in large,
firm characters headed the Albany agents list
for the Blaine book. A pretty woman did what
an enterpriting agent could not do-made
great Governor change his practice about sign
ing papers. Now. dear reader is Cleveland so
much better than the rest of us.

Hiram , leading churchman and songster
of the colored persuasion, recently married his
third wife, his first having died some years ago,
and the seconda few months since. His last
marriage occurred before the appointed day for
his second wife's funeral. So in order to treat
all with proper respect, he had his first wife's
funeral, which, in the hurry and confusion Of
life, had been overlooked, preached a. the same
time and carried No. 3 along as comforter.

Not forever on thy knees
Be before the Almighty found
There are griefs the true heart sees,
There are burdens thou canst ease
Look around.
Not long prayers, but earnest zeal,
This Is what is wanted more;
Put thy shoulder to the wheel,
Bread unto the famished deal
From thy store.
Not high sounding words Of praise
Sing to God meath some grand dome,
But the fallen haste to raise,
And the poor from life's highways
Bring thou home.
Worship God by doing good;
Works, not words; kind acts, not creeds!
He who loves God as he should
Makes his hearts love understood
