AT SANTA ANITA.

A Sunday Spent mt the Pleasure Resort of
the City of Mexico.
Santa Anita, the first village on the
Viga beyond the City of Mexico, is the
universal rallying point on Sundays,
both for natives and sight-seekers from
the capitol. There is always II fiesta at
Santa Anita, and the Indians are for
ever fandangoing, pulque-drinking and
ballad-singing. O On arriving at this
village, the first business of every body
is to secure Il wreath of poppies and
corn-f flowers, which the women wear
upon their tangled hair and the men
upon their sombreros- though, perhaps,
the ''human form divine thus beauti-
fully crowned may be but partially COW
cred with scant and dirty rags. Lovely
wreaths sell for madto tsX ccnts)
apiece; and the woman, young or old,
who is not wreathed before the day is
over is either deep in disgrace or hope
lessly out of fashion. This innate love
of flowers is direct hertarge from
the swarthy founders of the float
ing gardens. History tells us
that the most valuable gift
which Montezuma presented to the
Spanish ambassadors who came to his
court, was accompanied by rare
bouquet-and strange anomaly it
must have seemed, the love of tire beau
tiful combined with their blood-curdling
religion! Baron Won Humboldt re-
marked upon the same popularity CEN
turies afterward, and SO have other
writer's on Mexico. To-day those who
sit in the markct-places must embower
themselves in green branches garlanded
with flowers, while some prosaic pulquc
barrels are wreathed with roses. and
mugs and pitchers are similarly adorned.
The poorest village church has its floor
strewn with blossoms, and fresh bou-
quets are always arranged upon the
atars before services begin. The babe
at its christening, the child at its coniir-
nation, the bride ut her wedding and
the corpse in its coffin are alike
adorned.
At the Indian village next above
Santa Anita is rare old church, which
was built by Cortez more than three
hundred years ago, but is still in daily
use. IL is well worth visit, ana ii the
doors chance to be closed. few cents
will induce the custodian (who lives
conveniently near) to produce the key
and reveal all its treasures of antique
uginess. In the rear is weed-growr
grave yard with rows of grinning skulls
ranged along the arms of its centra
cross. which is surrounded by the usua
heap of human bones. In front of tho
church. facing the plaza fountain wher,

On the Defeat Of Representative MOETIaon'S
Reform Tariff Bill,

NRw YoRK, June lS.-In regard to tht
defeat Of the Morrison tariff motion in the
House yesterday, the Times says: at il
worth repsatiug-what We have often
noted belore-that Messrs, Carlisle, Nor,
rison, Hewitt, Manning and the other
revenue rsiormers can carry their cause
to victory when they are ready to
Fight for II, So long as they 90
on as they have gone Tor the past six
years, patiently submitting TO treaChery
and insult, they will not do so. That the
leaders who command hesupport Of five
slxths Of the party representation in the
House cannot shape the policy oltheir
party, II they choose to do so, Is pal
pable absurdity, So long as they move
to the assau with an offer OF surrren-
der on their lips, they will be COM
PEELED to surrender. When they get ready
to fight in earnest, they will win. So far
their opponents have resisted them with
the threat that il they pressed their policy
thess opponents would desert the party.
When they get ready to declare, and live
up 10 the declaration, that II their policy
10 not carried out tneir opponents must
leave the party, the process will be re-
Yersed. The lats OF tariff reform depends
entirely on the courage or CowardiCe Of its
defenders"
The Tribune says: "Though Mr., Morrl-
son does not like TO admit 1t, the fight is
over for the present. No one doubts that
a majority will at any future test be found
opposed to the consideration OF this i'll
tiMed measure. The continued agitation
10 not desired by anybody except
by free trade theorists, and they de-
sire it only for the purpose OF embar-
rassing political antagonists. For even
these theorists have come TO know that
no change Of tariff at this session Is posi-
BILE, and they should by this time realize
that continued agitation, at q time when
there Is no possibility OF success, only
prejudlces the people more strongly
against them"
The Sun says: "By majority Of seven
teen the House Of Representatives yes
terday refused to take up Mr.. Morrisons
lArLt bill and make 1t q SUI jeCt OF discus.
sion. This Is wise conclusion. II would
be impossible at this period ol the session
