A Physician's Wife.

"Just at present imagine the disadvan-
tages far surpass the advantages. In fact,
have had 30 little occasion to see DR.. Jen-
kins of late that have but little love for
physioian's life; that is. during q cholera
epidemic. But must admit that that is a
period which would hardly be admitted into
the argument. So will not consider il.
An active physician needs some one about
him to regulate him. so to speak. find
that his greatest disadvantage - his ex-
treme readiness to answer the calls of even
the mildly sick at oil hours Of the day and
night. to sacrifice his own health for tho
health of others. Otherwise the physician
makes good husband and would advise
young ladies to set their caps for them."

leading Spanish newspaper OF this city.
The letter is dated Jan. 81, 1892.
In his preliminary remarks TO the editor
Cara states that he has forwarded Presi-
dent Harrison the letter. but that he fears
that the latter will not make 1t public,
and as he desires 10 have his position and
action toward the United States clearly
understood, he decided TO send copy OF
the letter to FL Chinaco for publication.
The letter IL for the most part an attack
on the Mexican government, and particu-
larly President Diaz. He offers strong
objection To being charged with having
violated the neutrality laws Of the United
States and defends his action as follOws:
Being resident OF Tdxas when decidod to
