the remark, we cannot use that style of

customs dutles are III many particulars
not enforced along the Mexican boundary
with the strctness that prevails upon the
Canadian border, This is especially the
case with those movable western comnodi-
ties, cattle, horses and sheep. With all
the natural obstacles in the shape of noun
tains, forest and arid plains it has thus far
been found inpracticable for customs Off
GERS to patrol so long a border and among
the numerous ranch herds grazing on both
sides of the boundary it is hard to prove Of
cattle found on either side that they We're
driven from the other. The sentiment Of
the people along the border inclneS to
tree trade n respect to live stock. With
some of the SuctOmS officials who are in
service for reasons neither hygienic nor
patriotic it is not difficult for smuggers
to come to terms, and thus it comes about
that of the many herds of live stock driven
north from old Mexico but a small proper

Speaking of the recent Venezuelan earth
quake, in which four cities were destroyed
and coo lives lost, The New York Herald
says: "In 1872, the same year in which
Merida was destroyed. q terrible shock was
also experienced in the city of Caracas,
when nearly L 900 persons lost their lives.
This was the seVerest earthquake hitherto
experienced in Venezuela during the present
century. In 1858 two earthquakes took
place in Cumana which entirely destroyed
that ancient city and buried about 600 in
habitants in the ruins. The province was
at the time in rebellion against President
Monagas, but after this dreadful calamity
the citizens resolved to abide by the presi-
dents authority, and the revolution was in
this way brought to an end. Quite a series
of earthquakes would appear to be in
progress in both hemispheres. The first of
the number made itself felt on the 18th Of
last month at Toxic, in Japan, and to a
less extent in Yokohama and elsewhere.
Several buildings were damaged, but there
was no loss of life. On the goth the ter
rible earthquakes in Greece began, which
have wrought such widespread destruction
and perhaps not yet over On tne
same day Central America was visited by
the seismic trouble. The shock was felt
at Colon, at Panama and at some other
places, but beyond a slight subsistence of
the earth and some disturbance to the over
head wires of an electric tram line no
harm was done. Then, on the 28th, came
the terrible catastrophe in Venezuela, where
more lives have been lost and more whole
sale destruction wrought than in Greece
