THE MEXICAN ARMY PAY DEPARTMENT
HOW THE MONEY TRAVELS Down THE LINE AND
THEN Up.

From The Ncw-Orleans Tim=s- Democrat
Things have greatly improved for the private
soldier in the Mexican army of late" said resi-
dent Of NeW-Drlo2nS whose business takes him
frequently into the sister republic but only a
few years ago he had pretty rough time of il
and as for his pay-wel, I'll tell you a little
story that covers the ground fairly well On one
occasion spent several months in a small town
in the northern part of the country where "a
regiment OF infantry temporarily in bar
racks. OF course ! got well acquainted with
al the officers from the Colonel down. and found
them without exception royal good fellows
But the poor soldiers tough looking a

around about every two months, and his arrival

barracks He did his business however en-
tirely with the colonel and after inspecting the
rolls would place certain sum of money in
that dignitary's hands dine formally with the
whole staff and take his departure. Next day
the colonel would call the captains OF the several
companies and give each Of them a bag of dol
lars The captains would thereupon summon
the lieUtenants. who, in turn, would send for the
sereeants and thus the money would glide down
the line until il finally reached the corporals
who did the actual paying off Of the men. How
IL happened | don't undertake TO say, but with

especially for us. who have so few. But, really. the yellow heather has many good points. And in his virtues, as in his vices, the childish element is con- spiccous. To strangers in general he Is childiike ard bland. so long as his fears or prejrdices are not aroused. The Chinese merchant in the treaty port Is a model of honesty, reliability and pcliteness. In his childish sim plicity he despises lying and cheating as the devices of fools. He has not yet learned to give short weight, to mix different grades of gee ds, to procrasti- nate either in payment or delivery. Nor has he learned to scramble for large order with fawning serN~ y and to re- ceive a small one with snobbish con tempt. Every time he enters the for eign importers office in Hong Kong or Shanghai with the same serene polite- ness, and receives his reply, whether 1t be a large or small order or refusal, with the same unfailing urbanity. If the importer gives him an order no con- tract is necessary, and the white man knows it. He knows that when he sees the Chinese merchant "puttee book" the goods will be delivered at the place and day specified, and of exactly the grade, amount and price entered in the memorandum book. That Is Johns contract, and his word is better than the white mans bond.
 one of the most peculiar features of Chinese business is the "comprador. :" In this one individual are united many of the functions of a bank. collecting agency. guarantee company, paymas- ter, creditman and confidential friend and adviser. To the foreign merchant

 relations which his position involves he is the personification of ability and re- liability, and fairly earns the wealth | which his salary and commissions u,ti-
 mately bring him.
 His residence and office Is either near or adjoining the office of the foreign firm with which he is associated, and in his office he receives the native mer-
 chants with unfailing politeness and
 tea. Here he transacts with his coun-
 trymen the bus hess which the foreign
 CT has put into his hands. with scrupu-
 lous fidelity to the latter's interests
 and with all the advantages of a na- tive. He advises the white importer as
 to credits. and if through misfortune | Chinese merchant whom he has re- commended defaults payment he'com- prador promptly covers the deficit. Into his hands are put all the for eisner's bills for collection. So per. feet is the confidence reposed in him that bills so placed are entered in the white mans book as cash on hand, for the comprador will honor drafts against them at any time. As a banker, also
 he advances money to the foreigner
 without which he could not carry or business, and for this accommodation he
 charges only fair rate.

Committss on Harmony Was Busy Yestsrday Rounding Up Its Work-oossip of the
 New Instrument.

There were but few members of the Constitutional Convention. besides the members of the Committee on Order and Harmony in the city yesterday. and t was very lonesome-iike about the hotel Hobbies. Those members who remained over yesterday left on the afternoon and evening trains and last nirht it was dull about the places that have been SO full of life and interest by their presence for the past three months.
 monv was hard at work all day yes terday in the supreme Court Library consulting authorities. The Committee will probably hold its regular sessions In tho Convention Hall. where the members can get the beneht Of the electric fans.
 It is the prevailing opinion of the members of the Harmony Committee that It's report will be ready by the time the Convention reconyenes on August 2S, and that it will only require three or four days to complete the finishing touches to the document and that the Convention can then finally adjourn. It is expected that amend- ments will be introduced to the various Articles as they come up for final reading and correction. but they will not be discussed at any length for 1t is not expected that the Convention will be in any lumor to have any ex- tended debates. The delegates will want to do only what is necessary to round up the Constitution and put 1t in shape to submit to the people for rat tficaion.
 It is safe to say that the Convention will be through with its work and will finally. adjourn by the end of the first week in September, not remaining here after the delegates return longer than ten days and probably not that long. After the Constitution is framed and everything perfected. the instrument is then to be enrolled on parchment and then signed by all the members. It Is not known now that any delegate will refuse to sign. This last duty will not consume more than an hour and then the Convention will adjourn. It is pos sible that the Populists and Republi- instrument. but it Is not known if there Is a Democrat who does not intend to sign. During the recess of the Convention
 the question of ratific alton of the new Constitution will claim the attention
 and will be he chief subject of discus sion. 1t Is said that a number of
 leading Democrats will hold a confer
 ence either in Birmingham or Mont gomery within the next few days with
 a view to asking the State Democratic

Red Snapper Fishermen of Florida. Washington Post.

Washington Post.
 Red snapper fishing is one of the important minor industries of Florida" said Senator Stephen R. Mallory of the Orange and Palm State. Tt has prov a most lucrative business for the fl ms engaged in 1t. The red snapper is found only over the coral formations of the Southern seas, and most of those brought to Pensacola are caught of the coast of Honduras. A big fleet of large fishing smacks Is engaged in the busi ness, and as many as 5000 fish have been brought to the port in one load. All the smacks are now fitted with ice chests of liberal dimensions in place of the wells in which the fish formerly were preserved. If fish died in the we'll 1t had to be thrown away, and all died whose gills were injured or who swallowed the hooks. The wells were big compartments between the bulkheads, and the water flower into them u wough holes cut in the bottom of the craft. The loss was so large by this method that the ice box is now used exclusively. There Is large manufacturing plant in Pensacola which makes the ice for the fishermen. When the vessels arrive at Pensacola the fish are cleaned and their heads cut off. and they are again packed Tn ice and shipped to Northern and West ern cities. where they find ready markets"
