and the sounds of dance-music attract us elsewhere, and we enter a very large framed tent. probably 100 feet long. A liquor bar is on one side. and several tables for gambling on the other; but business does not appear to be very brisk. The crowd IS a motley one mingled Aiexicans and white. mostly dirty and Addressed, and some half drunk. The crowd is more interesting as study Ot certain phases Of humani- ty than attractive. Amongst the crowd are a few persons attracted by curiosi- ty. looking quietly on; but it is dan gerous place for men fond of iiquor or inclined to gamble, The music lri is from a room at the far end of the structure. where four women and sever al men are dancing or rather stumbling and rolling through a quadrille. The atmosphere is dusty. abominable. but they dance away neverless,--the men inanely grinning. the women evids ntly dancing as a matter of business. It is work fo- them; it is the way they live (they had better die.) Two are white. two are Mexicans. One of the white women looks old and worn. dancing with evident effort. All homely; and with the evidences of wortblessness. worn out tawdriness. and probably dis ease that they present. from a gastly picture of
