We are, indeed, but children of a larger

lily raised than anger. A countryman
gaping at the tenth story of a building
will collect a score of idlers about him in
half that many minutes. The other day l
observed at least fifty men, women and
children crowding about a basement win

Interested but excited. Several men
Jumped off passing street cars and joined
the throng.
Among those present ! noticed a prorni-

trade man, and d theatrical manager.
One Of the brokers held in his hand a
handbook containing a large number OF
bills and several checks. He evidently
was ON his wayto the bank. He pushed

POWERFUL DRINKS FROM MEXICO.
On Tap for Sailors and Other Reckless
Lovers of the Ardent.

On Tap for Sailors and Other Reckless
Lovers of the Ardent.
A South street saloon keeper, who has an
eye for the main chance has increased his
trade by importing a quantity of Mexican
liquors to please the palates OF his sailor
patrons who have travelled to Mexican
ports in the feet of flat-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.n Another Mexican
drink is advertised under its Yankee name
of m~etheglin.
"These drinks are not common In New
York said an expert. aMescal 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 FIVE TO 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 O 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 it every day for four or five months
thereafter. This juice is placed in watts
made of skins, and is allowed to ferment.
When it first begins to ferment, 1T Is some
times dipped out IN cooled with ice for
the use of strangers. 1t is then a refresh
ing drink, with q taste some thing like
that of birch beer. After q weeks fer
mentation, it becomes pulque, and then
only an acclimated stomach can stand it.
1t is in that condition the faycrite drink Of
Mexico. You can see it every where in
kegs that are draped with flowers, and the
mugs in which it is served often have gar,
lands Of flowers on them. The saloons
down there are called pulquerias. Mext-
cans have other drinks, but pulqae in its
various forms is as essential to the Mexi-
can taste as beer to the Bavarian.
9But plain pulque is not strong enough
for the Mexican topper. He distils it into q
sort Of brandy. A more deadly drink was
never made. 1t ought. to be excommuni,
Gated everywhere, but it furnishes a cheap
drunk, and the sailors who have oncet tried
1T come here after it when they see the
sign. Then there are a number of Mexi.
cans in the city who have learned that Their
native drink is on tap here, and come
around occasionally because 1t reminds
them of old times.n
aWhat is the metheglinsn
sit 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 an;

Tho Battle.Field Of Cold Harbor.

Gen. Grant went to Richmondin May,
1867, 10 visit the battlefield OF Gold Har-
Dor. He rode out from the city on Sunday
morning in q four-horse carriage, and
passed several hours in visiting the scene
of one of the most sanguinary II stub
born battles of the war. The battle lasted
during three days, alter which Gen. Grant
changed his base to James river. The
appearance of the battlefield when he re.
visited it was but little changed. Rows of
earth-works on either side still remained.
There was no part of the ground under
cultivation, the soil being very poor, but
many small trees had sprung up. That
portion of the field known as the fronts OF
the centre lines, where the contest ragged
hottest, showed the unmistakable marks
of q fight. Many Of the trees were
thoroughly pitted with musket and rifle
balls, while others of them were scattered
and bent over to the ground by the COM
bined firing Of the massed artillery on
either side.
Gen. Grant was unable to find the exact
location of his headquarters upon the Cold
Harbor battlefield, but the positions held
by Gems. Hancock. Badly Smith, Wright,
and Gibbons were pointed out. The bodies
1860 Federal soldiers, hastily buried after
the battle was over, had been disinterred
and buried in a government cemetery on

parts of shoes and equipments could be
