DOWN IN REEXICO.

The following which we ollp from
 Modern Merico, indicates the attitude
 of the Mexican pc ople on the financial
 question of the day very accurately end
 character sically. Ie is evident that the decline in silver effecte only that
 very sueli but important portion of the
 Mexican public who are engaged in business with other countries. The excerpt Is es follows:
 Ut is extremely difficult for citizens of the U1ited States who are unac- quainted with Mexico to realize in how many ways She people and conditions of the southern Republic differ from those of it's big northern neighbor. Measured in gold the eilver dollar of Mexico drof- ped last month to the value of forty cents. Such depreciation in the cir GU iatipg medium Of the United States would be most disastrous and far reach~ ing ir ite effects upon all classes. Ia Mexico it has incfeaaed the burden of the governments gold debt and bss worked hardship upon the railroads and consumers of imported goods; but there IS yet to be reported 8 single fail ure, large or emelI, becsuss of the de- cline in silver, snd tha greet bulk of the people of Mexico have Lot been affects ed cns wsy or the other. Wages have not increased but neither has there been any eppreciable increase in the cost Of living to the laboring classes whose wants gre wholly supplied by the products of their own country. Sil- yer has bean the money of Mexico for hundreds of years. The mass of the people do net know any other money and do not wens any other h fact, when one leaves the large cities and travels in the interior, he soon finds that they will accept no other klnd. The mss of the people of Mexico 6o not know when silver is going up or when exchange is going up and they do not care. Their dollar is eight reels to them today just ss much ss it was yes terdey. They do not have to buy i'm ported groceries, or clothes, or coal, and | their dollar serves them for every puF- pose thet it did when it wss St psr."

The full course of preparation in the M. E. Church covers eight years work. The requirements and examinations for ordination are probably greater and more severe than ia any other church, and bhe advancement of the young pas tor from year 50 year to complete ordi- nation is the result of hard ssudy and faithful service. Rsv. Bartlett is a graduate of the
 Emerson College of Orstory, Boston, the New Hampshire Conference Seminary. Filton, N. H., and the Divinity School at Middletown, Connecticut. For two years he WAS on the Stanton Street Mission Staff, Nav York, and among his earlier appointments were some of the most desirable churches in New Hampshire and Connecticut Conference. His sermons are short, dFsms stic and especially literary, but an entire sb- | senoe of gesture removes any sugges- sion of attempted sensationalism. His | sslbilbies as powerful preacher, as well as a writer. are great. His short stories have appeared in nearly every American magazine. Rav. J. A.

BACK FROM ALASKA.
Many People Fighting Their
 Way Out.
HUNGER HANGING
Over All Who Remain During the Present
 Winter.

SKAGUAY, Alaska, Oot. 1st, via Victo- have arrived on the Dalton trail from Klondyke repeat the story of sosycity of provisions and poss:sDiy hunger and starvation with many this winter. James Clark and 0 A Brown, who have bean mining on Birch Oresk, having left Dawson City September 18th at noon poled up the river fifteen miles above Pellinx river and there bought horse and came in over the supposed Dalton trail, making the trip in twenty-six days 10 Hsins mission, getting there Sunday. They passed the ThoFp party on the Summit with cattle, most of the party were discouraged and wanting to turn back. BRown and Clark told them bhey had gone through one hundred miles of snow, where no food could be got for stock and ie would be utterly impossible to get She stock through alive. Thorp had already lost fifteen pack horses on the trail and part of the original party turned back two days bsfere, but he was stubborn and would not consent to turn back himself.
 About twenty-five persons came out over the Dalton trail during the past week. They say there are good many following. All bring the same report thas there is DO actual trail and that it. issone-hundred and seventeen mileslong. Summits have to be crossed and innu- merable streams forded and it is impos- sible to find ones way without Indian guides, even ThoFp having to employ Indians. The biggest party to come out together, were eleven persons.
 This party brought out little gold dust. but are reticent as to the amouus. "Little Willie," miner, brought about fifteen pounds, Calvin as much or more and Geo. c. Bounds fifty pounds, but most of the dust was deposited with the two principal companies and drafts taken on Chicago sud San Francisco.

THE substantial character ot the re- vivaI of prosperity is found in the present condition of the iron and steel industry, universally recognized ss a faithful barometer of trade.

Immigration Figures Show a Falling
Off in Anarchist Visitors.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Washington. June 26.-Statistics on
immigration now being compiled show
a great falling off in the number of i'm
migrants who have sought homes in
the United States during the past
year. The decrease for the eleven
months as compared with last year
has been 10000 and it is estimated that
the falling off for the year viii be 1885,
900. Italy, Hungary, and Russia show
the greatest decrease, thus indicating
that the falling off has been chiefly of
the most undesirable class of immi-
grants. The total immigration into
the United States. last year was 345,000.
Deducting from this $4,000 would make
the total immigration into the country
for the current year 100000. While
the immigration into the United States
has fallen off greatly, immigration into
Canada has increased.
The reason advanced by Republicans
for this is that the inspection at Unit
ed States ports is becoming much more
aisgid than in former years. The Dem
have however lay it TO the hard times

Special Wire to Sunday Light
Georgetown, Texas, June 26.-R. E.
Thrift, the engineer, who was injured
by the explosion of boiler yesterday,
will recover.
The accirent was caused by fiues on
the inside of the boiler being burnt
out, and letting water run low and
turning on cold water.
The water guage had been broken
for some time, and it is presumed the
engineer filled the boiler at random.
The engine, an upright one. sood
on a pair of trucks just north of the
saw mill. and when it exploded it
shot up one hundred feet, clearing the
saw mill and landing on the street
two hundred feet south from where 1t
originally stood. The fiywheel flew
one hundred feet further, and knocked
a hole in the roof of the lumber house.
Fragments of the engine weighing 1OC
pounds fell near the depot 400 feet
away. The engine was a ten-horse
power and had been in service twenty
years.
