 picture of the Indian squaw she had
 sketched from nature. 'The wonderful

 mances of the Conquistidores and Fran
 Siscans! The very air has an individual ity of It's own. just as Spain, Italy or Greece. Here we see the civilization Of
 centuries ago mingled with the changes
 in the mode of life as introduced by Americans. The civilization of the Span lard, Indian. Mexican and American com mngle, yet, strangely appear as widely different as in countries far apart The Indian accepts from the Spaniard any thing he chooses to offer, from religion to minor customs, yet never loses any thing of his own with the effort.
