MExco's SYSTEM OF PEoNAeE.
Contrary to Law, but Carried on Without
NIoIestatiOn.

Contrary to Law, but Carried on Without
Molestation.
A system of peonage or slavery is ex-
tensively carried 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 generally supposed. The
usual custom is Tor a family who may
have boy 10 or IA years of age to take
the child to some plantation-owner or
family of the frst-class and propose that
it shall take a position as servant on
condition that all advance of $40 or Sl5
is made to the parents. The contract
also generally stipulates that the child
shall receive certain amount as wages,
and that the sum shall be placed to its
credit until the money advanced has
been paid, when the child will again be
free. AS the child grows older and be-
comes able to earn more money its par
ents, so 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
will. but he must have written state
ment 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
;shed 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 in operation SO long
that in this part of the Republic it is
| carried on without molestation.
Owing to the ignorance of the middle
classes, it is seldom that slave be-
comes acquainted with his natural
rights and there are very few cases OF
rebellion. One of these exceptional
cases recently occurred in the City OF
San C1istohal, in this State, the slave
being d young woman who was the
property of family to whom she owed
a large debt. A prominent army officer
stationed in that city at the time, be
came enamored 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 of the debt or attempting to fine
another master. Owing to the influ
ence of the army officer all efforts o
the family to have her arrested ant
punished were unsuccessful .-Philadel

Books on Botany Bound in the Bark OF
Trees and Plants.

Books on Botany Bound in the Bark OF
Trees and Plants.
At Warthenstei |, 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 block of wood,
and that is the first impression; but
minute examination reveals the fact
that each is complete history of tha
particular tree which it represents, At
the back of the book the bark has been
removed from 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 finely-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 a.
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 will certainly repay in its! utility.

HEREDITARY GENII1s.

How rarely is literary genius--or, in- deed, very high order of literary atl- reproduced in the second genera tion! It is rare indeed, for memorials of fatherand son to find themselves face to face in Westminster Abbey, as since last week do the memorials of Thomas and Matthew Arnold. And in this case Thomas Arnold owes his place rather to the character and personal Influence and the gratitude of the Rug beian race he reared than to anything in him that could be called literary genius. Thinking over the great names of every English literature, the only cases that occur to one are the Coleridges, the Disraelis, and the Lyttons, and some would add the Mills; and, with the pos sible exception of Samuel Taylor and Hartley Coleridge, there cannot in these cases be much talk of genius transmit- ted In France there are the cases of the two Crebillons and of Dumas pere and Dumas fills: and if Edmond de Goncourt's critical insight is to be de- pended on, we shall have to add Dau- det pere and Daudet fills, Felix Mem delssohn's father used to complain that he never in the worlds regard had an independent existence. The first half Of his life he was merely the son of Moses Mendelssohn, the philosopher, and the second half merely the father of Felix Mendelssohn, the composer.-St James Gazette.

RARE FLoRIpA PALMS.

Prof. A. H. Curtis returned recently from his seventh cruise among the Florida Keys and reports a number or Interesting botanical discoveries. in cluding two additions to his list of Florida trees. It was his special ob- ject to study the palms peculiar to these coral islands, and in this he suc- ceeded beyond his expectation, determ- ming the range of each and securing the material that had been needed for their accurate identification and de- scription.
 For the first time Prof. Curtiss suc- oeeded in finding the grove of pseudo Phoenix Sargent, on Long Key. A few young trees of the remarkable palm were found by him on Elliott's Key in 1881, but were mistaken for young royal palms. Five years later he accompanied Prof. Sargent on a cruise in the steamer LauCel, and in ex- ploring the same key Prof Sargent was the first to catch sight of a mature, and well fruited tree of the same palm, and the fruit was found to be wholly different from that of the royal or any other known palm. Drawings were wade for Prof. Sargent's Trees of North America" and material for study was sent to Wendlant, the leading authority on palms, who found It to be both specially and generlcally dis tinct from other konwn species This discovery led to the detection of quite a grove of the same palm on Long Key, which was then being converted into cocoanut plantations, and the owner ordered its preservation, which was most fortunate. as otherwise this re- able tree might have been exterminat- ed before being brought into cultiva- ton The trunk is short and thick, smooth and enriousiy variegated with alternate bands of brown and green ish grey. The crown of leaves resem- bles that of the date palm, and at its base are borne gorgeous clusters of red berries, many of them so large that a man could hardly encircle one with his arms The berries are about as large as average grapes, and a large proportion of them are united in twos and threes. The fleshy covering of the nut is very bitter the kernel almost as hard as Ivory.
 Prof. Curtiss secured enough of the fruit to fill two barrels which he ship ped from Planter, on Key Largo, to Prof Sargent, who will doubtless dis tribute them to all botanical gardens and palm nurseries in the world. Thus the existence of the pseudo-P Phoenix is likely to be prolonged indefinitely, independent of its existence in wild state, which is evidently precarious.- Jacksonville Times- Union.

 Finally it came to the day when the years engagement terminated. There was most important lawsuit on hand, which Lockwood had made a careful study of; no one in the state could pos sibly have handled it as he did We'll on the day in question, Lockwood stood in court, an array of law books in front of him, and expounded his views in masterly fashion. Suddenly he looked up at the clock and saw that 1t was the hour of eleven. Closing the book from which he was quoting, he turned to Hawes, who was sitting beside him, and said: MT, Hawes. a year ago to- day. at this hour, contracted to work for you one year. My times up; the contract is cancelled and am going. !" Thus did he repay his master for the humiliation heaped upon him. Hawes was in the greatest consternation; he could no possibly take up the thread of the case where Lockwood left it, and he begged and implored him to proceed, but Lockwood refused and turned a deaf ear to all persuasAn. He kept his word; the contract had expired San Francisco Bulletin.

FREE SPEECH.

The other day Judge Wales of the United States District court decided that it was within the power of the To- cal authorities of Dover, Delaware, to punish single-taxers for calling togeth- CT crowds in the public highways of that city Free speech, he said, does not imply an unrestricted right to as semble in the streets of a city which has laws against such gatherings. An Indianapolis judge. Judge Cox, has made decision which appears to go contrary to that of Judge Wales. In Indianapolis for the last few days a great crowd has collected every even- ing on the postoffice cofner discussing the financial question of the present campaign. The discussion has fre- quently lasted until midnight, and as took his place. The police made nu- merous and futile efforts to scatter the disputants, and finally made several arrests. Twice the cases came before Judge Cox, and the last time, with much impatience, he discharged the defendants, holding there was no de- cision by any court, high or low, where it is held that a man violates the law by discussing political topics in the streets. "On the contrary contin- ued the court, ''all of the decisions are the other way, The right of free speech is fundamental in our consti- tuition, and must not be denied No police can stop it It is the right of American citizens. This is a time when perplexing questions are puzzling the people. They are ques- Itions of vital importance to the common people. It is only by ample discus sion of the questions that confront
 them that they can learn properly to exercise their right of franchise They have the right to discuss these ques- tions and the court will protect them" i"
 The court also criticised the policy of
 the police in interfering with these street-corner talks by using the or dinance against sidewalk obstruc-
 tions as an engine of oppression. He warned the officers that further arrests would be useless, as the
 defendants would not be punished.
 The financial debates are still being held.
