Contrary to LaN, but Carried on Without
Molestation.
A system of peonage or slavery is ex-
tensively carriesi on in Chiapas, and its
workings are novel and interesting.
The slaves nearly all come from the
middle class of Spaniards. and are not
Indians. as is ge nerally supposed The
usual custom is Tor family who may
have bog 10 or Il years Of age to take
the child to soDe plantation-Owner or
family Of the first-elass and propose that
it shall take a position as servant on
condition that an advance of SO or SIS
is made to the parents The contract
also generally stipulates that the child
shall receive a &C rtain amount as wages,
and that the sun shall be placed to its
credit until the money advanced has
been paid. when the child viii again be
free AS the child grows older and be-
comes able to earn more money its par
ents, 50 It happens in nearly every case,
apply for more money, thus piling up
the debt When the child becomes of
age It generally asks for money for its
own personal use, and thus bound to its
master it must continue in slavery un-
til the debt is paid
A peOn can not change masters at his
VIII but he must have a written state
ne1t Of his debts from his first owner,
which Is accepted by his new master,
should one be found who IS willing to
advance the amount If any attempt
to escape paying his debts is made by
the slave he is carried to jail and pun
iShed until he Is willing to take up the
yoke again This system of slavery is
contrary to the statute law of the coun-
try, but It has been m operation so long
that IN this part of the Republic it is
carried on without mOles.ation.
Owing to the ignorance OF the middle
classes, II IS seldom that slave be-
comes acquainted with his natural
rights. ard there are very few cases Of
rebellion One of these exceptional
cases recently occurred in the City Of
San CristObaI, in this State, the slave
being z young woman who was the
property Of family to whom she owed
4 large debt 4 prominent army officer,
stationed in tha. city at the time, be
came enanored Of the girl He in
formed her what her rights were under
the law. and she lost no time in leaving
the family. without taking any state
ment CT the debt or attempting to find
another master Owing to the infiu-
enee Of the army officer all efforts Of
the family to have her arrested and
punished were unsuccessful.-Philadel-

Trees and Plants.
At Warthenstei I, in Germany, there
is perhaps one of the most curiously
original collections of books extant
This consists of botanical collection.
Outwardly the books present the COM
mon appearance of a block of wood,
and that is the first impression; but
minute examination reveals the fact
that each is complete history of the
particular tree which it represents. At
the back of the book the bark has been
removed from q space which allows the
scientific and common names of the
tree to be placed as title. One side is
formed from the split of the tree, show
ing its grain and natural fracture; the
other shows the wood when worked
smooth and vanished. One end shows
the grain as left by the saw, the other
the fnely-polished wood On opening
the book it is found to contain the fruit,
seeds, leaves and other products of the
tree These are supplemented by
well-printed description of its habits,
usual location and manner of growth.
1t fact, every thing which has bearing
upon that particular tree secures a
place in this wonderful, useful and
valuable collection. Here is a prece-
dent for the botanical societies to adopt,
and although doubtless expensive, yet
it viii certainly repay in its utility

Fiat Money in History.
alexandria Democrat.

Mr.. PETER, the great Silver Light
of the west, has reached the con-
clusion that free silver after all,
will not make money cheap enough
will not reduce rents and interest
low enough, and comes out strong
ly in favor of a currency based up
on land. Mr.. PETER has, in reach
ing this conclusion simply followed
the logical result of the principle
of free silver at 16 to l.
His conclusion is the product of
evolution, irresistible. He has
worked out the equation almost
mathematical in its logic, that if
the government can, by its edict,
make fifty cents worth of silver
worth one hundred cents; it can
create values and make a piece OF
paper q inches by 4 worth one
hundred cents or one thousand
dollars. Mr.. PETER is simply in
the van of the silverites and will
be necessarily followed by the
great body of those who continue
to advocate free silver. 1t is ar
evolution which they cannot resist
Moreover, Mr.. PETER is correct
A currency based upon land will
produce a money cheaper than the
money of free silver at l6 to l and
its basis is the same; the creative
power of the government. Tht
power to create the entire value Of
paper money or by its creative
power to double the value of silver
But Mr.. PETERS scheme is no
new. II was tried in France il
17l8. A government bank wa
formed and the bank notes wer,
based on land and guaranteed b,
the king, who was absolute ans
constituted the government.

Yesterday Judge Reed. in the district

800 and. to submit to imprisonment in
the county jail for thirty days. This
was the result of the trial for con-
tempt of court that had been going on
for three days. Some time in Septem-
Der an Injunction was served on the
building at III North Market street,
known as the Schnitzler building, and
while the said injunction was hanging
over the place, the chief of police raid
ed ii and found Mr.. Robinson and Mr..
SchnitZler running ii.
1t was proven on the witness stand
by Mr.. Forby and Mr.. Hams that they
got intoxicating liquor there while the
Injunction was pending, and it was on
this evidence that the conviction for
contempt was made.
Judge Reed had a written opinion on
the subject to deliver in open court.
but owing ito a press of business he did
not read ii.
The attorneys for the defense say
that they will take the case TO the ap-
pela,te court by means of habeaS corpus

The papers will be made out in few
days and presented to Judge Cole.
