Ing country. the doubts of Americans to
the contrary Notwithstanding. Goats,
sheep, cattle, burros and horses are raised
In abundance. Horses are much cheaper
here than in the States. A good horse
can be bought for forty or fifty dollars,
while pony may Id had for fifteen or
twenty dollars. The markets are kept
supplied with beef, mutton and kid.
One Is struck especially with one char
acteristic of Mexican raised stock, and
that is their power Of endurance. This is
true both of oxen. burros and also of their
ponies. The writer recently made trip
to the country, riding small Mexican
pony. The distance was not more than
fifty. five miles, and the trip was msde in q
little more than one day. On my return,
I rode twelve miles in less than an hour
and half, but it did not hurt the pony at
all.
While in the country the writer noticed
several things that were characteristic of
Mexicans. They tie everything with
strings, of which he has abundance. For
instance, when he goes to milk his COW,
be never runs the risk of being kicked or
Of seeing the cow put her foot into the pail
of milk. What then does the patient
Mexican do? He simply ties the cows
hind legs together With q stout twine
string, and milks his cow in quietness.

After an absence Of many months from
your columns, I desire space to give you
the news around this, the most renowned
place of upper Anderson County, and,
perhaps, any other part, too, although
news Is not so very plentiful, but think it
will be- soon, since Timstown has applied
for admission TO our fourishing commu-
nifty. Some reject her on the ostensible
plea that sbe has no charter. Some say,
admit her, because she is vis a vis our To-
cality. Some say admit her, because 1t
will open navigation on the .Six.and-
Twenty River" as far up as Watkins
Mill. Some say let her remain terra in
cognita. We will give you the details
next time.

4 Latter From Mexico.
sArrL1o, MEXICO, Nov.

SATILLo, MEXICO, Nov. %, 1893.
Mr.. ED1ror: In living in u foreign
country among foreign people, one learns
to look at things from different stand
point, and to view Them in different
light from what he ever did before. This
is especially true of tie active, bustling
American SIS be comes among the easy
going, quiet Mexicans. The Mexican is
rarely ever in hurry, and is often will
ing to put off until to morrow what ne
might do to-day. This tardiness on the
part of Me1icans touches the American at
q few points. For instance, the postofice
IL never opened here until o'clock q. ~,
and no matter how anxious one may be to
get his mail, he simply has to await until
the time fully arrives before he can get 1t.
Again, II you have an engagement to
meet q gentleman at certain hour, you
need not be surprised if he should come
an hour late. Time has no value to the
Mexican. he takes 1t easy and does not
worry about it.
But the reader should not be too hasty
to infer from the foregoing that Me1icans
never do anything at all. Should he do
that, be would be greatly mistaken.
They have built cathedral in the city of
Mexico that 10 the fourth largest building
In the world. And while 1t took them
nearly century to build 1t, yet doubt
whether, within reasonable limits, it
shall ever fall into ruins. The ideo of
Dermanence seems to enter into every.
thing that the Mexlcans do. They build
for generations yet unborn. This fact Is
also seen in their system of irrigation. 1t
is doubtless known to many in the States
that in the north of Mexico, just as on the
Pacific slope, there is very little rain dur
ing the year. So the MeXioans did centu
ries ago what tho citizens of the Pacific
slope are just now thinking OF doing
used irrigation for all farming purposes.
Some of these irrigation bitches are over
thres hundred years old. saw one re.
miles, and before it reached the plain, was
at the height of two or three hundred feet
on tho mountain side. Of course, this
water might be- used to great advantage
for manufacturing purposes before it
reaches the plain. The Mexicans are be.
ginning to wake up out of their long sleep,
or rather they are being aroused by enter
I prising American capitalists. But whether
he sleeps or wakes, his past attainnents
in the matter of irrigation will be per-
| petual blessing TO all who shall live 10 the
north of this Republic, whether he be
farmer, stock raiser or merchant. These
bitches are 30 constructed as to carry the
water wherever the ranch owners wish it.
n this could be done for the Pacific slope,
the products of the soil there would be
greater even than the annual yields of the
mines of gold and silver. BY this sys-
tenn, Notwithstanding the dry year, Mex
| leo makes enough corn this year for home
consumption. It is but just to say, how
ever, that in the valleys of Mexico, irriga-
ton is not used, simply because it is not
needed.
shall mention only one other matter In
this letter, and that Is in regard to The
| stock in Mexico. Mexico is stock.rais-

An Old Man Wakes a Wonderful Discovery
of Hidden Money.
"O!d Man Jones,' as he is called by his
neiRhbors, found two nests containing 100
golden eagles while trimming some street
trees in San Bernnrdino; in other words b.
found two tin cans hid in the trees contain
ing $1,000 in gold coin, says the Pomona
Progress. ~
Jones had trimmed the trees over n week
before, and returned on Saturday to give
them some finishing touchos. In the first
tree that he climbed. hid away from sight
behind the stump of n large limb that he
Ind Topped of she week before, he dlscov-
erad the first can. containing nearly $1,000
in gold. He could not believe his eyes. and
WAS not long In getting to the ground to
handle and count the money. He continued
his search, anG found in tho crotch of an
other tree nearly $1,000 more of cold coin
hid away the same AZ the first lot.
As soon as the overwhelming surprise of
the discovery had passed away the old man
was at a loss to know what to do with his
mine of gold. He WAS sorely tempted to
hide it away. shy nothing about it. and livs
without work and in comfort tor a few
years. But this Jones ia an honest man
no would have naught that did not belong
TO him; so he made public tho discovery
and deposited the money in bank to await
TIE appearance of tho rightful owner. It
will be strange il there do not atise out of
