Decline in the Ostrich Feather Trade.

DeCIInG III lNt VStTICII ICttrfcT HfHUe'
The ostrich feather trade III Tripoli de-
clined so rapidly last year as to eventually
end in a complete collapse, and the conse-
quences it entailed proved disastrous to
all connected with the business and more
orless prejudicially affected other branches
of trade. AS Il result, trade with the in
terror of Africa is said to be suspended,
people hestating to risk their diminished
capital in enterprises to remote parts of
the continent before some signs of amel-
oration in the feather trade manifest them
selves, AMI as yet there arc none SUCH

last Thursday, while riding upon the

was carried swiftly down the declivity,
near the high hill at the depot. The

striking bis head upon the iron rail, re-
ceived a most trightful cash upon the
back of the head and has since been
unconscious. His condition is consid-

NOTES " MEXICO.
Continued from Third PAGE. J

When fairly on the road, which for
tun2tely is smooth and level for the pas
Sengers on this springless vehicle, the
oxen take gait that would compare
Itavorably with a moderate horse and
buggy. They seem to have the greatest
desire to get home, or become aware
that somebody is after them with sharp
stick. This may or may not be the ORR
gin of the phrase, which is somewhat
threading II character; at all events the
cattle put out as none but Texas bovines
can. They know the will of their master
and do not hesitate to obey; no spoiled
children with them for the lack of the
rod. They have been taught that there
is no escape from the average Mexican
lasso. They have been convinced that
tits safer to stand than to be brought up
standing, perhaps on their heads, or more
likely falling if any resistance be at
tempted. Such are some of the ways of
a class Of people in the southern part of
the Lone Star State, SO isolated, that it
would require no great stretch of fancy,
at times, for me to feel that they were
living # not in another country, at least
very near our Sister Republic; but even
there, as everywhere, the supremacy of
woman, intellect and influence prevails,
for it is proverbial that an American lives
but short time with Mexican woman
before her ways, manners, and even lam
guage, becomes the controlling force,
rule, and habit with him. may tell YOU
something Of the representative andlead
ing classes; perhaps | should say politi-
cal class Of our republican neighborS,
where Spanish blood is supposed to pre-
vail, but where a not over speculative
mind miqht imagine they saw way Of
accounting for lighter shades Of the com
pleXion, which becomes apparent enough
among the elite.
