had founded their city and temple where this Won
derful panorama passed before their eyes morn

browning that mysterious pile surveyed a prospect
which to-day fires the blood Of the most sluggish
traveller. 1t was probably In order TO establish
! Spanish centre of civilization near the native
city which had been ruthlcssly destroyed by
Cortes that the site of Puebla de los AngelCv
was chosen. Then the angelic visitation was in
vented as a convenient eXpedient for %diverting
the religious fanaticism Of the natives and sub
shutting. for it a species of Christian mysticism.
Whoever founded Puebla had the instinct of a
modern sanitary engineer. The city stands on the
easy slope of a hillside, and unlike other Mexican
towns of the first rank, is thoroughly drained.
While the death.rate of the National capital is
raised by drainage conducted under impossible
conditions, the lakes being higher than the city,
Puebla has all the advantages of a healthful site.
1t is one of the cleanest of cities. There are gangs

figure crowns the tabernacle, and beneath the

puebla. Feb. 9.-There is a Mexican version OF
the Hebrew story of Jacobs ladder. The good
pisbop of Tlascalla, who came out under the sec
ond Spanish Viceroy, desired to build a city be-
tween the coast and the capital which would re-
mind him of his native CASTLE. Uncertain where
he would choose a site, he was favored one night
with a vision of a heavenly host measuring out
the foundations of a city on a hillside overlooking
a broad and verdant plain trenched with running
streams and bounded by the slopes OF two mag
nifcent volcanoes. Not long afterward, he rode
over the site of Puebla, and recognizing 1t as the
scene of the angelic surveying party. founded
Puebla de los Angeles. There are other myths
connected with the establishment of this beautl-
fu, CITY. but this is the most Ineligible one.
Angelic intimations were hardly needed, If the
Bishop had an appreciative eye for a magnificent
prospect. No grander view can be had in Mex
leo than the vista of the Snow.capped Popocatepetl
