AN ANCIENT MEXICAN CITY.
< Curious Legend Some Relics of Emperor
 Maximilian.

< Curious Legend Some Relics of Emperor
 Maximilian.
 sQuaretaro was a town before the Spanish conquest and was made city in l855. A legend of Queretaro is that an Otomite chief, Fernando de Tapia by name, undertook to convert the city to Christianity ill a way that seems novel to us, but was common enough to his day. He came from Tula with q challenge to the people of Queretaro to fair stand up fight If he won, the people surviving were to be baptized. The challenge was accepted, but while the fight was ill progress dark cloud came up and the blessed Santiago was seen i'll the heavens with fiery cross, whereupon the people of Queretaro gave up and were baptized. They set up a stone cross to commemorate the event on the site of the present church of Santa Cruz. There is scarcely church Ill Mexico which has not a legend of this kind attached to it. The town Is identified with the history of Mexico.
 Here the treaty Of peace between the United States and Mexico was ratified ill 1848, and here Maximilian made his last stand ill 1867, was obliged to sur render and was shot Everybody is Ill. terested ill Maximilian mainly On &C., count of poor Carlotta Maximilian was executed on the Cerro de las Gampanas and with him Generals Miramin aud Media. The place is marked by three little crosses of stone. The two gen erals were killed at the first volley, but Maximilian, who had requested that lie be shot through the body that his mother might look upon his face, was only wounded, and second firing was required to kill him.
 The emperor had been led to believe that Carlotta was dead. She became in- sane from grief and was kept ill all asy= Ium for many years, but she still lives and still mourns for her dead husband and the loss of her throne. The United States government protested against the execution of Maximihan, but ill vain, JuareZ refusing to spare him.
 There afe all kinds of relics of Maxi. milan in Mexico-the Yturbide thea. ter where be was tried and condemned, the table OH which the death warrant was signed, the wooden stools on which the prisoners sat during the trial and the coffin of Maximilian, whose remains were subsequently, sent to Austria and buried at Miramar. 1 confess l do not share in any sentiment of pity for Max imiiian, who was an adyenturer with. out shadow of right i'll Mexico and took the chances of war. He was 1t is true, victim of Napoleon and of his own ambition and was very scuryily treated by those who had induced him to set up his throne ill Mexico. but to have released him would have been to establish Il claimant for the Mexican throne It was better that this man should die than that thousands should be sacrificed in the wars he would sure ly have fomented if he had been allowed to live.
