Village Life In Mexico.

A great cotton hacienda in Mexico is
strongly built, with walls like those OF
n fort; the tops of the walls are often
studded thiclzly with broken glass of q
jagged and deadly appearance; for fur.
Their protection, companies of soldiers
are kept within the establishment.
A hacienda of this type, whether de,
voted to the manufacture of sugar or
cotton, the raising of cattle, or mining
of silver, is a complete little state, with
every appliance for luxury and security.
It contains within its walls hundreds
of.peons, soldiers, barracks, a chapel,
houses for the laborers, apartments for
the owner and his family, and every
necessary of life for man and beast.
The administrator, or general man.
ager, is the father of the great family;
he decides all disputes arising between
the various members of it, and il he is
only ordinarily just, never finds his au-
thority disputed, but is looked up to
with much respect and consulted by
poems in all family matters.
A gentleman who was for some years
administrator of an estate in the state
of Coahuila told me that while occupy
ing this position he conceived high
opinion of the simplicity, honesty and
trustworthiness of the Mexican labor
err. In most of the haciendas the ma
chinery is of n most primitive kind,
modIrn improvements being used only
in the largest establishments.

In the very midst OF pressure he

pite from labor lay hidden really much
work to be accomplishment to fit

edge OF their Master to carry them

Euripides was wont to say silence was
an answer to a wise man; but we seem
to have greater occasion for 1t In our
dealing with fools and unreasonable
persons; for men Of breeding and sense
will be satisfied with reason and fair
words.-Plutarch.

A whale is an animal IT IS warm

The albatross has been known to fol-

The Missouri is the longer river, and
the Mississippi really joins the Mis-

The mole is not so blind as many per-

from mist and dirt by means OF en-
closing hairs.

The bottom of the Atlantic forms a

What is ito" inquired Sally, coming
up toward the skull with the OF lers
all having dismounted.
Il dunno. Boy, what is it?" Ito Joe,)
said the first speaker.
''Joe, that's Il Mound-builder," re-
piled Joe.
All the girls stared, and then
laughed.
"Dig it out o. the mound" inquired
the girl who had been called Sally.
dig it out of the mound, joe" was
the reply.
Another stare and another laugh.
"Isn't he purty?" said Sally in an
undertone to the other. ASK him his
name"
Then the first speaker made another
attempt.
whats your name, little boy?'
Little Joe, June 20, 1873" replied
Joe.
The girls gave it up and gathered
round Mr.. Gust, who was rubbing the
dust off the relics he had found, and
where the young men were discussing
the old fort and its origin.
That discussion would not be very
entertaining; but it is pretty safe to
say they knew as much about the fort S
origin as any person of that day-or
of this.
During the remainder of the day, un-
til five clock, the young folks spent
the time in watching the survey of the
fort by compass and chain, listening and
laughing as the young chain-carrier
cried "stick" instead of stuck, as he
pushed the marlIing-pins into the
ground, and wondering what manner
of boy he might be. Then they hurried
off homeward with merry laugh and eX-
pert horsemanship-Joe' slaughing eyes
following them until out of sight.
After another days labor Mr.. Gust
had succeeded in getting a pretty ac-
curate survey of the strange old relic
of an unknown people, made full notes
of its features, and started on his re-
turn.

nary boy; and only by the recital OF
details in themselves dull could be
brought out his characteristics. He
continued to maintain his sweetness OF
temper, was growing in comeliness
and was the pet and the pity of al
who knew him.
But an event in Joe's life quite as
important as his plunge in the mill
dam under compulsion of the tornado
befell him shortly after his visit to the
old fort. And that will be the subject
of the next chapter.
