4 NEU FUEL IN MEXICO.

The Mexican Financier gives an ao
count of new fuel invented by a
member of commercial house in the
city of Mexico, and for which a patent
was obtained from the Mexican con-
gress in May last. The article is called
"turbato," and consists principally of
bog peat, of which there are immense
quantities in Mexico, mixed with n
proper proportion OF bitumen or chapo-
pote The fuel is made in five differ
ent classes: For locomotives, station
airy engines. smelling purposes, smiths
fires and household purposes. 1t burns
freely and without much smoke, giving
a higher dynamic equivalent of heat
than the same amount of woods. and
very nearly ~ great as the best Eng
lish coal. 1t can be manufactured and
sold in Mexico at n price considerably
below coal or wood and. looking at the
daily increasing demand for fuel, the
augmentation i'll the price of wood and
its growing scarcity. it is safe to pre-
dict, SAYS The Financier, n large and
successful market for ''turbato." AS all
the ingredients necessary for its manH-
facture are found in inexhaustible
quantities in Mexico, it will create a
new and important industry in the re-
public With good aud cheap fuel.
it does not need a wizard to foresee the
immense impetus that will be given to
Mexican manufactures of every de-
scription. Arrangements are said to
be making for the manufacture of "tur-
bato" on large scale. so that it will

Peck's Sun.
The Indian who goes to college will
find it hard, after the life he has led, to
adopt the ways of civilized college stu
dents and become hazers, who practice
cruelty on boys who are physically
weak. You take plain, unvarnished
Indian boy, put on his head visorless
college cap, collar four inches high, n
tight coat, cut off too short at the lower
end, a pair of pants that he would have
to put French chalk inside Of, to get
his legs in, and long tooth-pick shoes
with yellow tops, and give him cane,
and teach him to say, "Ah, by Jove,
you know" and he would be q
picture that would cause his tribe
to weep. Suppose the father and
mother of the Indian student. thus at
tired, should give the muskrats that
they trap, holiday, and go to the col
lege to visit their son. and should find
him as described and he should put his
eve glass into his eye and say, "Ah, gov
ernor, glad to see you, you know; and
madame, am yours truly" the aged
rat trapper would pull his gun and if
he could get two of them in range he
would shoot them, though he would
hesitate to waste charge of powder on
single one, while the squaw mother
would wrap her blanket around her form
and go and lean against fence and be
sick. The Indian would have too much
sense, uncultured though he might be,
to be proud of such an outfit rs II son,
and instead of blessing the day that his
son decided to become civilized, he
would curse it.
If it is deemed advisable to educate
the Indian boys, let us commence ut the
right place, the country school, and
when the Indian has learned enough to
be able to transact bushes, let him go
into some business that he can do and
if he has got it in him to become man,
he will have encouragement from all
decent people, but if we start him in a
college, where half the boys go because
all the other places to get rid of them
are closed, the Indian will come out a
big-headed piece of uselessness, and
when he gets out there will be no place
good enough for him. He will be above
catching rats, and the world will owe
him living.
