time for Mexico at the mention Of
the days September 18th and 10th,

therefore that the Mexioans love
these two holidays, which represent
so much 10 them. On the night Of
September 18th at exactly o'clock
from every city, town, bill and dale
over the great Republic, one mighty
shout issues from a million free.
mems throats, "Niva MexicoW

In Mexico the day is celebrated
with great splendor. Nearly a
quarter Of a million Of people take
part in the festivities and the scene
rivals anything ever presented on
the American Continent.
On the day preceding the Presi.
dents birthday it is customary to
hold the unFiyalled Battle Of
Flowers" Long before the sun
begins to peep over the hills there
can be seen thousands Of Indians
vending their way 10 the city,
bringing with them large supplies
Of rarest and choicest flowers.
Houses are decorated in the great.
est profusion, and the public build
ings and statues show practical
evidence Of the great fertility and
richness Of the soil. II is one of
the days when every one has free
license The rich and the poor
mingle and pelt one another with
flower. in the most democratic
manner.
This IL followed by two days
given up 10 most extrayagant cele.
brations, conducted with pomp and
eclat never witnessed in our Dem.
