The Poems of Mexico.
cents.

A correspondent writing to the New
York Eoangelist from Mexico, says: ga
large class Of the population is made up
of what are called poems. These are day
laborers, and while they are industrious,
and in general not morally base, they are
ignorant, very poor, and in reality ser
vile class. Having often heard it said
that they were slaves, took pains to
make careful inquiry into the facts OF
their condition. While the wages of all
of this class are very low--only about
thirty cents day-yet such of them as
are out of debt are virtually free, though
they seldom care to leave the place where
they have lived and labored, since they
have strong local attachments. But
many of them are not out of debt, in fact,
all their lives long are in debt, and these
are in condition which lacks nothing
but the name of being condition of
slavery. Indeed the very definition Of
the word peon is that of laborer held
in servitude until debt is discharged,
and as, often, the debt is never discharged,
the bondage is life long. Debt is often
incurred through the tender sentiments.
A young man wishes to marry. He has
not cent of money laid by, and hence to
meet the necessary expenses of his we'd
ding, large item in which is the caor-
nous fee of thepriest, he must borrow mon
ey. He cannot do this without selling his
labor in advance, which amounts to the
selling of himself for the sum of money
borrowed until full payment is made.
As he can earn but few cents day,
and must support himself and family out
of this miserable pittance, it often hap
pens that for years, and sometimes for
life, the debt and the consequent servi-
tuds remain.

man, but has lost his sight and worse for
some poor sinner, he had been robbed Of
a few dollars given him. Mr.. Houser
took the old man in and made him COM
Portable. There are many cases of acct
dent; person is shot, injured in rail-
road accidents, stranger is taken sick
in our city, and we have no place for
them to go for treatment, except the
county poor house in the country.
1t is hoped that the prayers of these
good ladies may be answered and their
efforts prove blessing to the needy in
our midst. The home and hospital for
the whites here has proven great bless
ing and our good citizens kindly offer
their charity to our people.

made busy by hurrying crowds Of men,
women, and vehicles, the sight is one OF
exceptional beauty. Driving in the street.
of St. Petersburg is something to be re.
membered. The private carriages are
fine barouches, quite like our own, and
generally drawn by black Tartarian OF
Bulgarian stallion horses. These ami
mails have long names and tails, and are
driven at a rate of speed that would
make the Commissioners of Central Park
stare and clear the concoursc of people
in a short time. The drosky is small
four wheeled, one-horse carriage, very
low in the body, seating two passengers,
and driver in front. All drivers wear
long surtout coats reaching to their feet,
plated over the hips and hustled behind.
The cap is low, broad on top, with &
curved rim, exactly like that of gen.
tleman's stovepipe hat Around the tor
of the hat are attached several small
quilts or feathers, IN numbers according
to the Cossack or provincial rank of tn,
driver. The harness is made Of ver1
small pieces Of strong leather. 1t is at
tached to The carriage or wagon b
double traces, one to the whifletrce, and
one at the end of the azletree outside of
the hub--an extra precaution against ac-
cidents. Over the horses shoulders and
his cellar is raised an ornamental OK bow,
about twenty inches in height. Within
and on this bow are arranged pretty tas-
sells and small bells. In Moscow horses
attached to omnibuses, hotel coaches and
private carriages are driven four abreast.

Need of a Hospital.

With such weather as we have had
during this week, one can be very easily
convinced of the necessity for hospital
in this town for the colored people.
There is always some suffering among
the poor during tie Winter in cities Of
the size of ours. All are not proper sub
iects for the County poor house, and
they do not get the proper atten ion
there. Many cases need only a few
days attention and help. The Christian
charity OF our citizens will provide a
comfortable home and hospital for the
needy Colored people 10 this city if the
proper steps are taken with a united
effort. OF course there is something for
US to do, and every one ,hould do al in
his or her power to have hos ital and
to make il a benefit aud credit to our
race
Cur attention mas just been called to
case worthy Of mention. Last satur-
day night after the snow had been falling
all day, Mr.. W. Fl. Houser, one Of our
most charitable CT liens had his atten-
ton called to an old colored man, hun
ery and wandering in the snow with no
place TO sleep or friend TO give him
food. lie had once been prosperous

Curious Facts of Dentistry.

There is said to be remarkable change
in the condition OF their teeth among
the negroes at the South since the aboli-
ton of slavery. This is attributed largely
to changes in food, whereby moro fine
wheat -four and more sweets are eaten
than were eaten formerly. In addition
to the injurious effects upon ones teeth
from improper food, the Popular Science
Aeps adds: another important case of
dental decay is the undue de nani upon
nervous energy, probably often combined
with insu fcient or improper ailment.
Recent observations have shown that
carious teeth are common in modern
schools in proportion TO the edu ational
standard adopted, and that the chi'dren
10 the higher grades have tout of all pro-
portion to their more advanced age
worse teeth than those below them; while
carries have not inFrequently been OBJ
