police, under Captain Hayes. had no
right to do duty at the Union Hill

police the same power as constableS ex-

has never been repealed and thus the

not from leakage and waste. 1t is very
probable that it will reach a much lower
figure, although Mr.. Brown assured me
there was no danger of water famine.

In Mexico You Marry the Family.

One characteristic of the Mexican
is best exemplifed by their proceed.
ings in the event of the marriage Of
one of their daughters to an American.
The Mexican, bear in mind, is pos
sessed of the ineradicable idea that
Americans are all rolling in wealth.
The idea is q source of never-ceasing
envy on the part OF one sex and salts
faction to the other. When an Amer
lean marries Mexican girl, her whole
family, her sisters, cousins, aunts, ETC.,
and all their sisters, cousins, aunts,
etc., for hundred miles around are
invited to the wedding. This includes
every blood relation to the very re-
hottest. They not only come, which is
bad, but they stay, which is worse.
There they camp, and until every ounce
of food and every dollar in sight is
gone there they continue to camp, and,
should the luckless bridegroom have
employment, they stay still longer, en-
couraged in the most natural and art
less manner by their very hospitable
relative, the bride. The feelings of
the groom under such circumstances
can be imagined, but protest only
meets with tears from the bride and
indignant establishment from the
guests, before which the bridegroom
generally succumbs. It is apparent
that the Mexican merely gauges the
hospitality and charity of others by
his own, and wants to be done by as he
does to others.

annals of tauromachy never won a more
brilliant victory than did bruin, i'll the
arena at Sonora. The description which
L have given of this combat is no fancy
sketch, as am fully able to prove by a
reliable living witness of the affray.
The most popular and distinguished
spada OF the new world is Ponciano
Diaz, of Mexico-and it might be added
that he is undoubtedly the most popular
man in Mexico to-day. with the native
masses To them he stands as the en-
bodiment of manly hcroism and national
chivalry. Although but 80 years of age,
his career in the arena has not been as
brief as might be supposed, for from
early boyhoOd he has been familiar with
the function. or exhibition.
! The first public performance in which
| he figured as primer espddG or matador,
as the man who kills the bull is Called
| was given only twelve years ago.
His brilliant and daring fcats brought
him into immediate fame. He has had
many hair breadth escapes from death
and several serious wounds, but he seems
destined to almost rival the fame of the
great Pedro Romero, the father of popu-
lar bull-fghting and the greatest hero of
| its annals. 1t was he who established
the code which governs the arena of to-
day.
| Previous to his day the sport had been
| confined to the arstocracy. 1t was the
royal sport in a double sense, for not
only were the royalty and the nobility
| it's chief patrons but its principal parti-
cipants
| The sport is supposed to have orig-
mated Immediately after the Moorish in
vasion Of Spain.
The principal monarchs who were he
| roes of the arena are Charles V. and
Philip w. If history correctly repre-
sents them, they were quite as fond OF
the eXcitements Of the ring as they were
of the intrigues OF court.
The list of mobiles, as given by Camp
hell who took part in the bloody pas
time includes the Dukes OF Media, Sido-
MIA. Zarate, Blanc. Sastagato: Counts
Ruelma, Villamediana, Tendilla, aud La
Vena. There were also many dlstln-
guished knights, most prominent among
whom was the great Fernando de Pizarro
who later found more profitable field

people say in the country, the landlord
was most respectable man. Having
exhausted the chapter relative to the
value and price of land, asked him
whether he had ever been in Philadel-
phia. He replied that he had not yet
done so. He was man of about 45
years Of age. I scarcely dared to ask
him whether he knew Gen. Washing

never fail to accomplish their mission.
The movement or program OF bull

They march to the bands loudest
music, halt before the Presidents stand
and salute The President signals for
the performance to begin.
Tho gate is opened and in plunges the
bull.
Then the picadors begin their work
OF torture by riding their blind-folded
horses-usually old Jades fattened and
groomcd for the occas;on--alongside the
bull, plunging sharp goad into his
sides.
Usually the bull reciprocates by
plunging his horns to their full length
into the horses side. and sometimes the
same fate overtakes the picador before
he can scale the arena fence. :
The bulls attention is drawn to an
other portion OF the arena and the dead
horse dragged from the scene.
The task of melting the bull to still
greater fury is then taken up by the
barderilleros.

banderil!ero calmly awaits the attack Of
the bull. and as the animal makes hi:
