Mexican Matters.

CITY OF MEXICO, March 2s. = The
Mexican Chamber of Commerce has
petitioned President Daz to extend tho
time before the next tariff rates 20 into
eiiect, under the pretext that three
months Is not sufficient time tr study
the matter and the proposed reform.
The petition has been refused, on the
ground that II would estsb-
lish a bad praoedent AMI
invalidate law when no
definite notifications are vet proposed;
also that the law was promulgated In
January TO go into effect in July, which
was time enough to present the desired
reforms.
The Monterey chamber of commerce
have prepared report asking for the
abolition OF the free zone on the north
ern frontier, because II gives aid 20

towns q corresponding benefit. BY
maintaining free zone, the
whole country suffers for the
beneht OF q few insignificant
villages. They also recommend the
abolition of all frontier custom houses,
except those on railroads.

A Hint to Horticulturists.
American Architect.


The horticulturists who do so much to render
summer railway travel agreeable in the more
settled parts Of the country by their ingenuity
and lasts in decorating the grounds about the
stations may, perhaps, be interested to know
that in tie opinion of NJ. Gambler, chief road
master Of the French government railways, the
best plant yet discovered for consolidating. by
the interlacing of its roots. the loose soil OF
newly embankment is the double poppy.
Ten years trial has enabled M. Gambler, az he
says to guarantee that the poppy will be found far
more efficient for this purpose than any of the
grasses clovers usually employed: and while
these require several months for the develop
ment Of their comparatively feeble roots. the
double poppy terminates i'll few days, and in
two weeks grows enough to give some protection
to the slope, while at the end of three or four
months the roots, which are ten or twelve inches
long, are found to have interlaced SO to re-
tain the earth far more firmly than those Of any
grass or grain. Although the plant is an annual
its sows itself after the first year, and, with
little care, the bank is always in good condition
In France the dOably poppy is perfectly hardy,
and can be sown at almost any time from March
TO November. With US it is also said to be quite
hardy, and long embankment covered through
the later summer and autumn with the dazzling
scarlet blossoms contrasted with green grass at
the foot of the slope. would have most striking
effect.
