or whether it is because of the more
convenient methods of getting the de-

the latter opinion. Formerly, the

them to their favorite publica tons,

The Mexican Financiels draw hope
from the fact that the production OF
Havana tobacco is diminishing, and
the demand for it increasing. This
demand, Mexico expects in time to
supply with leaf more nearly ap.
preaching the best Cuban flavor than
any that can be produced in any
other country. The argument is
based mainly upon information fur
nished to the Mexicsn government
by one of it's consular agents. The
statement is made that the planta.
tions which have SO long upheld the
fame of Cuban tobacco, are exhausted
iu soil. and that a liberal us. of fer.
tllizers fail to restore the peculiar
properties they orce had. Many had
been abandoned, and the annual crop
has fallen into Insignificant figures.

Kansas City News.
A prominent corset dealer in the
east, who claims to have gathered re-
liable statistics, says that fifteen per
cent. more corsets are sold in the
winter than in the summer. The
length of winter evenings probably
accounts for the difference in the wear
and tear of the corsets. -" 4 -ss'.s

MEXICO, Sept. 99.-Rains continue
throughout the southern part of the re-
public. The National railway has exper-
fenced bad washouts between Celaya and
San Miguel. On the Central railway are
seven gangs of workmen, about ! 800 men
in all, engaged in making repairs as fast
as the rains will permit. 1t is estimated
it will cost between $4,000 and So 900
to repair the washouts. 1t will probably
be necessary to relay the entire track be-
tween Mariscola and Cclaya, a distance of
about twenty-five kilometres. An iron
bridge was washed away, the torrent tear
ing of the girders as if they were straws.
Provided no more rain falls in the flooded
districts, through trains, it is expected,
can run to aud from III Paso by Wednes-
day or Thursday. No mail has yet come
through from the United States. The
trouble occurred beyond San Juan Del
Rio. The lakes that mandate the coun-
try broke over and flooded the track and
the engineers refused to send their engines
into the turbid torrents.
1t is rumored the president will pardon
the sentenced political prisoners.

And much of the attraction that
draws Americans to England is this
same love of home, bidding them ex-
plore u still older home. For this they
endure temporary exile from their real
abode, and bear as patiently as possible
that rather childish social structure
which sti dominates the English world.
Sometimes, indeed, by long residence,
Americans come to enjoy this structure,
as jewellers in Switzerland come actu-
ally to like those high favored cheeses
that are at first SO repulsiye. Many n
man, too, as Wendell Phillips used to
say, is a democrat only because
he was not born a nobleman; and
it is observed that when one
speaks of the delights of living in Eu-
rope, he never imagines himself to be
living in the same way as at home. it
must be a perpetual holiday with large
outlay and no duties to anybody; with
out that, one might as well be in New
York. SO the young American girl,
however moderate her claims at home,
stipulates for nothing less than a ducal
palace in England let her marry ar Eng
lish business man and she will soon find
whether she likes it letter than life in
America. At least | knew 4 young girl
who tried it, and she soon found herself
undergoing so many real or faneied
sights because her husband "a only

We knew it would be night before the
slow paced baggage wagons reached
Bowling Green, and perhaps morning
before we could find them. The thought
made the soldiers ravenous Clearly,
something must be done TO procure
rations for supper. Far of down the
road in front we could see a negro driving
an OK team. making his way home.
probably scared into an ague fit by the
sudden appearance of Yankees. 1t was
the first time. the reader must remember.
that the Federal troops had penetrated the
south. and the ignorant people regarded
them with comical terror. The negro was
making what haste he could to avoid being
overtakcn. AT this moment a wheel ran
of from the leading gun carriage and the
first detachment halted. drawing to one
side TO enable the battery TO pass. In "A
minute or two 1t was replaced, but by this
time the battery had Numbered by the OK
team, leaving the negro half paralzed with
fear. sitting in his wagon by the roadside.
A hurried consultation In the detach
ment resulted in the sergeant giving il
one minute to convert the oxen into beef.
We approached the team on a run,
halted, and while the negro still sat on
the wagon with staring eyes. shivering
with fright, twenty men fell to the work
of slaughter. They worked like wild
