Mexican snIoons.
fFrom the PItIsbnrg Tlmos.l ]


In the city of Mexico the income from
the taxation of liquors and the license
on saloons is very large. Every liquor
and pulque shop pays monthly license.
pulque is the common or cheap bever-
age of the hot country, corresponding to
the malt beer of the United States. II
is "purely vegetable" being extracted
from the maguey plant, u species of the
cactus. In addition TO the license fees
on saloons, an octroi, or entry tax. is
collected on all pulpue coming within
the city limits. For the fiscal year just
ended this gate tax amounted to the
sum of $560,000, or more than $500 n
day. This is from the pulquc alone
the beer of Mexico-which is retailed ut
one cent for an ordinary glass, or three
cents Tor large schooner Add to this
the tax on alcoholic beverages, and also
the license fees paid by each saloon, of
which there arc thousands, and some
idea may he forpcd OF what the city
realizes annually from the liquor traffic.
The city of Mexico has q population that
possibly does not exceed $50, 900, yet the
amount paid into the city treasury by
liquor dealers alone cannot fall short of
$500, 600 year. The pulgue shops open
ut 6 O'Clock In the morning and close Mt
o in the afternoon, and not one of them
has back door.

In tho year 1880, Captain Vancouver

tailed to take command of AN expedition
to explore the northwest coast of the
western continent, This appears to have
been the first well-appointed effort ON
the part OF any OF the great powers, for
geographical research in this part of the
world. Thus it will bc seen that only u

lightenment and which is. even now, the

turned to England he was received with
distinguished honors by the Royal Geo.

His own name was also given to
