A Voice From Oklahoma.

A few days ugo we received a note from
J. W. Philllps, who is now located near
Enid, Oklahoma. inquiring If tho apples,
pears and cherries grown in Brandywine
hundred, were equal to those raised sone
thirty or forty years ago, and II 60 where
he could find nursery that could furnish
stock Of similar character. He will never
Gud fruit equal to that Of his boyhood
days, particularly as the old nurseries have
disappeared, but for reliable dealers va
can refer him to George w. Mattingly,
No. Sls jackson street, Wilmington, or 10
his agent, w. 4. King, Of Pennsgroye, N.
j., who represent a famous nursery in the
State Of New York, which has reputa-
tion unsurpassed by any other in this sec.
tion for reliability and fair dealing.

An individual with considerably more
lung power than was agreeable to his
hearers was hawking fish the other morn.
ing In northern town.
"Fine fresh hcrrin-fowcr penny" he
roared in fashion that made the windows
rattle.
A woman approached tho barrow and
eyed the fish with a certain amount of
suspicion, which, considering the circum-
stances, was not unnatural.
"Are they frcsh?" she demanded, with a
suspicious sniff.
They're fower penny, num-" was
the guarded reply.
Eyes, responded the other with touch
of sarcasm, II think card yer say So
But are they freshf"
"For aught know, mum, they is."
"When wor they cotchcd?"
This was too much, and, adopting the
sarcastic style Of his questioncr, the hawker
replied:
Cant say for sartain, mum. Iapplied
for the birth an death stiflcate of every fish
on the barrer, but, at fower penny, it
simply couldn't bo done!
"Ere y y'arel Fower penny, herrin. !"

The "mound fowls" Of Australia and
New Guinea construct mounds of decayed
leaves for their nests. In these the eggs
are laid and covered over with tho same
material. Tho warmth engendcred by the
decomposition of the leaves causes the eggs
to hatch, and the young In due time bur-
row their way out to life and the open air.
These birds are regarded as the LATEST Of
all the feathery kingdom.
Next to them comes the common black
bird of America for laziness. These black
birds never bu.t nests Of their own, but
lay their eggs in tho nests of other birds
and leave them to be Matched by foster
mothers. This is an unfortunate imposi-
tion ON tho smaller birds, as the black
bird S young is SO large when first hatched
that he soon crowds the smaller birds out
Of the nest and has it all to himself.

MExlCO'S QUEEREST CITY.
(atorce, So Named Because IT Was
the Stronghold OF Robbcrs.

the Stronghold of Robbers.
Eight miles duo east over the noun.
tains from CatorCe station, on tho Mexi-
ran National railrnad, is the city of that
name, u city along whose steep, winding
streets neither wagon nor cart, neither
stage nor bus, nor any other wheeled ve-
.hicle was ever known to pass, although 1t
has often boastcd of population Of 49,
600 souls.
The city takes its name from once being
the stronghold and the property Of band
of fourteen of the most daring, desperate,
dangerous and successful robbers that
ever laid tribute on roads of Mexico.
They discovered and for many years work
ed the rich deposits of silver that abound
in this entire section Of the country, depos-
its tho value of which, II current report
be true, for hundreds of years outrivaled
tEe mythical riches related of Ophir.
Strange to relate, every piece of machinery,
every pound Of freight and every passcn-
ger to and from Catorce is transported to-
day rs for centuries past, either on the
backs Of men or mules
Catorce is ono of the most interesting
places in Mexico. Here are found the Gus
toms of Mexico in their purity, unaffected
by the influence of the stranger, Difficult
of access, the town can be reached only by
horseback or on foot. Catorce has seldom
been visited by any except those making
business trips The ride up the mountains
into the town is something once accom-
pllshed, always to be remembered partly
from its element of personal peril, but
more because of the beauty of the land
scapc encountered at every turn. CHANGING
down as you near your Journeys end, you
catch q CLEAN of tho white walls Of Los
Catorce outlined against tho green of the
mountain side. Thousands Of feet below
simmer the waters of mountain stream
Tho shifting coloring of the mountains as
light and shade chase each other over their
rugged eXpanse, the browns and greens OF
tho valley below and the hills in tho hazy
distance are "beautiful exceedingly"
The Real de Catorcc is built on the side
of ravine near the top Of the range, and
has varying population Of from 5000 to
10000, as the mines are paying well or
poorly. Here are found all varieties of
silver ore from carbonutes to refractory
ore assaying $4,000 to the ton. Catorce
has a fine cathedral, richly decorated, and
n pretty plaza, the only level spot in the
place. To use q railroad phrase, 1t is a
combination of cut and ill, so that to
tumble into it on one side and out on the
other would be extremely disastrous. The
streets arc neatly paved and run up and
down hill many of them at an angle of 40
degrees. Altogether this is one of tho
show places of Mexico. Modern Mexico.
