MENICO,s QUEEREsT CIrY.

Eight miles due east over the noun
tains from Catorce station, on the Mex
can National Railroad, is the city OF
that name, a city alone whose steep,
winding streets neither wagon nor cart,
neither stage nor bus, nor any other
wheeled vehicle was eyer known to
pass, although it has often boasted of a
population of 10000 souls.
The city takes its name from once be-
ing the stronghold and the property of
band OF II of the most darlog, despe-
rate, dangerous and successful robbers
thas ever laid tribute on roads OF Mexi-
co. Tney discovered, and for many
years worked, the rich deposits of sill
yer that abound in this entire section of
the country-deposits, the value of
which, if current report be true, for
hundreds of years outrivaed the myth
cal riches related Of Ophir. Strange
to relate, every piece of machinery,
every pound of freight, and every pas
seuger to and from Catorcs is trans
ported today, as for centuries past, either
on backs OF men or mules.
Catorce is one of the most interesting
pl ces in Mexico Here are found the
customs of Mexico in their purity, un-
nj cted by theinhuence 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 trip. .
The ride up the mountains into the
town is some hing, once accomplished
always to be remembered, partly from
its element OF personal peril, but more
because OF the beauty OF the landscape
encountered at every turn. Glancing
down, as you near your journeys end,
you catch CLEAN of the white walls of
Los Catorce outlined against the green
of the mountain side. Thousands OF
feet below simmer the waters Of
mountain stream. The shifting color
ing of TIE mountains as light and shade
chase esc ch other over their rugged ex.
pause, tie browns and greens of the
valley below, and the hills in the bazy
distance are beautiful exceedingly"
The Real de Catorce is built on the
side of d ravine near the top OF the
range, and has varying population OF
from 5000 to 10000, as the mines are
paying we'll or poorly. Here are found
all varieties of silver ore from carbon
ates to refractory ore, assaying Sl5 900
TO the ton. Catorce has q fine cathe-
dral, richly decorated, and pretty
plaza, the only level spot in the place.
To use railroad phrase, it is combi-
nation of cut and fill, so that TO tumble
into it on one side and out the other
would be extremely disastrous. The
streets are neatly paved, and run up
and down hill, many OF them at an angle
of 40 degrees. Altogether this is one
Of the show places of Mexico Mod

The horrible news has just
reached us from Kansas that dur
ing the latter part of the summer
young man climbed cornstalk
to see how the ears were getting
along. A shower Of rain fell while
he was up the stalk, and the corn
began growing faster than he could
slide down. Three men undertook
to cut the stalk down, but owing
to its rapid growth it was feared
they would not succeed in time to
prevent the young mans death by
starvation. He was subsisting on
raw corn aud had already thrown
down four bushels Of cobs,. and it
was feared his supply was almost
exhausted.
