POWERFUL DRINKS FROM MEXICO.


On Tap for sailors and Other Reckless
Lovers OF the Ardent.
South street saloon keeper. who has an
eye for the main han has increased his
trade by importing n quantity OF Mexican
liquors TO please the palates OF his sailor
patrons who have Travelled to Mexican
ports in the fleet Of hat-bottomed schoon-
ers that imports mahogany and other trop-
ical products. Small painted cards behind
the bar announce that he has for sale
"Mescal and Pulque." Another Mexican
drink Is advertised under its Yankee name
of metheglin.
"These drinks are not common In New
York said an expert. @Mescal Is obtained
by distilling pulque. and pulque Is the fer
mented juice Of the agave plant. The
agave grows wild in Mexico, but there are
plantations where It Is cultivated. 1t
is the so-called century-plant, which ma
lures in from i've &c fifteen years, instead
Of once In 100 years, as many people sup
pose. just before this plant gets ready to
blossom, the leaves which grow out
around n central stem like cabbage
leaves, become very thick and full OF sap.
The natives train the leaves up around
the central stem until the bud Is formed
for the blossom, and then they cut out the
bud. They gather two gallons of juice
from il every day for our or five months
thereafter. This juice is placed in watts
made Of skins, and Is allowed to ferment.
When IL first begins to ferment, 1t Is some
times dipped out and cooled with ice for
the use OF strangers. 1t Is then a refresh
ing drink, with a taste some thing like
that Of birch beer. After n weeks fer
mentation, 1t becomes pulque, and then
only an acclimated stomach can stand il.
IL IL a.. shat condition. eha fawrAwffn 1wtaE ~
Mexico. You can see IL every where in
kegs that are draped with flowers, and the
mugs in which ii Is served often have gar
lands of flowers on them. The saloons
down there are called pulquerias. Mexi-
cans have other drinks, but pulque In its
ariou forms IL as essential to the Mexi-
can taste as beer to the Bavarian.
But plain pulque is not strong enough
Tor the Mexican topper. He distlls II into q
sort of brandy. A more deadly drink was
never made. Il ought TO be excommuni-
Gated everywhere, but 1t furnishes a cheap
drunk, and the Sailors who have once tried
it come here after II when they see the
sign. Then there are a number of Next
cans In the city who have learned that their
native drink is on tap here, and come
them OF old times
what Is the m~etheglinir
at Is simply honey thinned with water,
spiced up with cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon,
etc, and allowed to ferment. Mexican
metheglin is made from honey that is
gathered by ants instead OF bees. The ant
has a large abdomen, which It fills. These
ants are taken by the thousands, and
placed In silk bolting-cloth bags, and the
honey Is expressed. 1t tastes like common
bee honey. 1t makes a drink not to be
recommended, except in case Of dire dis
tress, for the victim, when drunk, hears
the buzz OF a thousand bees in his head,
then he becomes deathly sick, and last OF
all he gets a head on him that lasts him
for a week, and is twice as large as he has
any use for. New York Sun.

A lady who lives in an elegant house Oh
the Back Bay has a singular picture
which many Of her visitors have looked
at inquiringly, without understanding il
at all. 1t represents a woman in modern
costume, but with a sanity medieval look
that makes one wonder whether to tt
touched with reverence or with a sense of
the absurd incongruity CT her face and
clothes. She has two little children
standing at her knee The owner has ex-
planned the mystery OF her picture as fol

Madonna different from any l had ever

SENATOR LOGAN is right about keep
ing the army in proper form Of organi-
ntion, and Senator Hale is certainly
wrong in depending upon such Il gen
srAliration as people to prevent the in
vAsion OF a state by a foreign force. The
army must be kept in a highly efficient
condition at all times as the strong nucleus
for the army Of the republic in a time Of
war. That army will be composed of the
regular army and the well organized mi
litia Of the states If Maine is invaded
By Canadians. Mr.. Hale might be disap-
pointed in his confidence as TO the ability
of the people Of his state, without definite
organization, to stop them.

Some easily frightened people take the
gloomiest view Of the present labor
troubles. We can find no reason why
sober minded men should share in this
apprehension. 1t is more than probable
that the great social problems that have

one civilization after anoth.r y. will be
worked out in the United States 1t may
be that this working out will involve mo.

THE RAILROAD BONDS CARRY ny
A LARGE MAJORITY.

Although the RETURNS of the vote cast
at the outside precincts are as yet rather
incomplete. the news received up to the
time of going to press indicates that the
bonds have been voted by a majority Of
about 1900. Cheyenne gives the bonds
anearly unanimous vote, $50 votes be
ing cast in favor and only - against, n
majority for the bonds Of 2,3is. There
is no doubt now that Cheyenne people are
in favor of substituting the railroad to the
North. The majority in the county will
probably reach 1000 The most san
guine supporters Of the new railroad en-
terprise cannot and will not find fault
With this grand accomplishment
Cheyenne now has its opportunity and
The LEADER is sssured that thu ultimate
result will fully meet the expectations Of

rHE ANTI-BoNDs uIRcUIAR.

Early Yesterday morning Messrs. La
%frentz, Horatio Holt and VIM. Guitermau
informed the publisher of THE LEADEu
that a circular antagonistic TO the railroad
bonds bad been found folded in their COPY
Of The LEADER on their premises, eyi.
IDENTIFY delivered by the regular carriers Of
this Office. This being a surprise to the
manager. he set out to investigate: the
employees Of the office were questioned in
regard to the matter, and the following
answers were obtained
Joseph Stroud, pressmun, said. Il
was present when the papers were folded
il the office by the boys, and no circular
were put into the papers,
Everett 0lafoke. one of the carriers,
said; ! lett the office with my papers as
usual; when near the Inter Ocean ! met
an express wagon with two men; one Of
them got out, gave me a bundle of en-
velopes and told me to throw them around
on my route. After putting II few in my
papers | opened ons OF the envelopes,
saw that the paper enclosed opposed the
bonds, tore up the whole package and
threw the pieces away"
George Artist, another carrier, said.
When passing the club house a man
standing on the stoop gave me a bundle OF
envelopes and offered me fifty cents if |
would take them around with the papers.

opposed TO the railroad bonds for which
my father was working hard. | tore up
what was left Of the envelopes; but | saw
all the newspaper boxes full of the same
envelopes in going my rounds, which were
scattered around by two men in a wagon. -
Geo Benjamin and Len Dietrich, the re-
naming carriers, said they had seen no
circulars nor had they been requested to
distribute any.
Mr.. Dwight Corey, calculator of THE
LEADER, who is the only person, aside
from the manager, authorized to distrib-
ute any documents with copies Of this
paper, said: u had given no ~instruc.
tons TO the carriers to distribute these
documents this morning and no applica
ton was made to me by any one odo 50. -
The above is the result of the invest.
CATION. Ofcourse, the fact Of the dis.
tribution OF some of these circulars with
TIE LEADER has been used By the enc
mics Of this paper to iniure it; but their
kind efforts will be of little benefit to
them. The LEADER for " weeks past
has been an advocate Of the bonds, be-
cause it held that the subsidy would be OF
great advantage to all the people of Chey-
enne aud Laramie county. If this paper
had thought otherwise. it would have
done It's best to defeat the bonds. What
ever may be said against THE LEADER by
its political enemies, it has never been
charged with being a sneak. Whenever
it has considered it right and just 10 oppose
men or measures, it has done so openly
and fearlessly; our readers will testify to
that fact
The childish efforts of grown men to
defeat a public enterprise by circulating a
silly handful a few hours before the polls
opened, influenced nobody The people
Of Cheyenne favor free discussion and fair
