neighborhood Of $175,00O when be
purchased from the locators, and
while he has spent a very consider
able sum since, the property has
maintained itself. Thus it may be
said that the six millions are velvet.

THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT
IN MEXICO.

The hotel "chambermaids' are all
men.
Fashionable calls are made until 8
p. IN.
Mexicans are never too lazy to be
polite.
Nine O'Clock at night is favorite
dinner hour.
Everybody who has turnout drives
from ) to Z every evening.
Gentlemen smoke at all times-in
the street car, at the table, any
where.
Babies are carried by their nurses,
and are seldom seen in baby carri-
ages.
Railroads, street cars and hackmen
all provide three grades of accoEmo-
dalton.
Men of all ranks doff their hats to
each other and shake hands at meet
ing and parting.
Meals are served in courses, one
meat or vegetable at a time. with a
complete change of service for each.
Hotel offices are closed and the ele-
vators stop at 10 o'clock. If you
want room after that hour, the por-
ter will show you to one.
Mexican masons are about the
slowest workmen on earth, but after
200 years their walls are as strong as
when first built.
1t is not unusual for a Mexican
meal to comprise five or six kinds of
meat, but seldom more than one kind
of dessert, and that very simple.
A Mexican laborer will carry 100
pounds of ice ON his head rather than
use tongs. He carries can of oys-
ters on his head, too, rather than be
bothered with it in his hands.
The luxury most desired by every
Mexican peon is a sewing machine,
and this modern device will be found
in many little home that has few
other pieces of furniture. The men
use them as readily as the women.

are constantly up in the courts some
thing more than is demanded of the
peaceable taxpayer who commits no
crime and avoids litigation"
In the same article the News quotes
the language of President Cleveland
in regard to the satisfactory results
that have followed the new system
the payment of salaries instead Of
fees to certain Federal officials
wherein the president testifies to the
great economy it enfOrces, its proven
ton of abuses and it's tendency to a
better enforcement of the laws. There
is no intimation that those who are
guilty of infringement of the laws are
taxed in any less degree for the sup
port of government, for the fees are
covered into the public treasury in
stead of going into the pockets of the
prosecuting officers, and so far from
the officer doing even less work it is
found, according to the testimony Of
the president and his advisers, that
the tendency under the salary plan
is to better enforcement of the laws.
One case in point may serve to IL
lustrate: An offender is arraigned
before the criminal court on a charge
of misdemeanor of a certain sort,
which is punishable by fine or impris-
onment. The machinery of the law
has been employed at some expense
to the state to bring him before the
bar of justice. He is permitted to
plead guilty and escape upon pay
ment of the costs, not one dollar
of which goes into the public treas
ury, nor is the offender impressed
with the idea that he has been haul
ed up before the court so much with
the idea of satisfying the ends of JUS
tice as of contributing to the pecun-
larry needs Of his prosecutors. The
collection of the fee is not an induce
ment to the enforcement of the law.
On the contrary it may be quite the
reverse, for the offender may be able
to pay teh costs, which go to the Of
ficers, without the law being enforced
at all.
But this it merely one phase of the
matter of fees of officers. The sys-
tenn is bad in very many particulars.

SPORTING NOTES.


What Our Sportsmen Are Doing And
Saying.
Messrs. Gardner and Fields bagged
seventy odd birds on hunt down the
Sap last Tuesday.
Sportsmen going down along the
line of the Sap road for quail, should
take a supply of water with them, Tor
self and dog, as the small water
holes and creeks have nearly all
dried up.
Eighteen shooters with eighteen
guns stood on the big dam at Gum
hollow last Sunday morning and blaz-
ed away at every duck in sight. The
consequence was the ducks were made
wild and shooting was difficult.
General Shattuc, congressman-elect
from Ohio, and prominent railroad
official, was guest of the Arkansas
Pass officials last week. General
Shattuc had days duck shooting on
the coast and was highly pleased gen
orally with his visit.
Messrs. G. A. Showers, George Chab-
OF, A. w. Dubray, a travelling repre-
sentative of the Parker Bros. Gun
company, and w. r. Turner, OF the
yandalia line, spent two days at Gum
hollow the beginning of this week,
shooting ducks. They report having
had fine sport.
A complaint has been entered
against some hunters coming over
from Corpus, to Capt. @. Il. III. Glaz-
brook, the general manager of the
Fulton Pasture company, re-
garding shooting before and after
dark. which has been done and gen.
orally condemned by all true sports
men. Capt. Glazbrook has announc-
ed his determination to put a stop to
all such shooting.

GONE TO MEXICO.

The following lines are dedicated to
a number of residents of WeimaI
and vicinity who recently left fol-
Tuxpan, Mex. to collonize, led by
Major Thos. Gillian:
To the land of MonteZuma
The Gillian colony fled,
Where they heard the joyous rumor
OF tables rich with bounties spread.
They say it is a summer cline,
Where ice and snow are never seen,
And birds and brooks sing all the
time.
In leafy woods of fadeless green.
The rustic Of the stately palm
Is bowling in hte spicy breeze,
And fountains glisten in the calm
Like liquid pearl beneath the trees.
Great fields of tropic wonders
Stretch out before the human gaze;
Flowers bear in countless numbers
All in different color's blaze.
From which the sweetest fragrance
rise,
Like incense in the days of old.
In silver clouds toward the skies.
From affairs made of purest gold.
Great rivers to the ocean roll,
Bearing in their bright waters deep;
Food that gladdens every soul,
Refreshing those that laugh or
weep.
Some very lofty mountains there
Are capped with crowns of shining
grace,
While in their vaults are jewels rare
Enough to deck the human race.
For which we often have no fight,
Is dug from thence in many mines;
And captures millions at the sight.
But labor is the only way.
In which these goods are made to
use;
For honest toll will virtue pay
Its wealth of rain, and fertile dews.
They must not sleep until the sun
Will heat the cool of morning hours,
But work while pleasing moments
run
To cluster in Elyisian bowers.
But with the axe, the spade and
hoe.
They must cut. dig and weed along,
If they expect to wealthy grow;
And trill aloud the victor's song,
For God is gracious anywhere.
And freely justice loves to give
Thus he who labors on with care
Shall future life in pleasure live.
