Even a "lone, lorn" Mrs. Gmui uingc, like your faithful scribe, trilfat perforce defer to popular prejudice, . and set up a female erendo -"to follow her about a piece of household furni ture neither useful nor ornamental. 'Sim is the torment of my life, pilfer ing my choicest possessions, experi menting with my toilet articles, dis ' tributing my raiment among her " frlEnds in occasional bursts of gencr . osity, and, when not otherwise en gaged, sitting cross-legged upon the floor, suggestively scratching with both' hands among her raven ti esses. At first, like St. Paul, I "kicked against the bricks," and vowed I would not submit to such an un mitigated nuisance ; but I came to it gracefully in time, as you would also, my most iiisiiuiuns menus, uuuer ' similar circumstances. Aside from tlic matter of good taste in conform ing to the customs of the country one is living in, and the natural de sire to be considered at least "re spectable" even by strangers, this concession o American independence .to'thc tyranny, of the Mexican servant system is necessary, in order to gain and maintain the entr6o to the "best society," whose mysteries I am here on purpose to explore. To have a faint idea of some of the smallest lions in the way of my mission, you must understand that for a lady to be travelling alone underany circum stances is an almost unpardonable crime, in . Mexico., To abide for a day in a hotel is a disgrace which it is hard to live down, and boarding houses there are none. Well, one must eat now and then, in spite of popular prejudices, and life is too short to set up liousckceping with a retinue of retainers in every tdwn, even if my munificent, newspaper, in come would allow. It is a wise old adage, "Of all evils choose the least," and there sits my evil on; the floor, scratching away as usual 1 She attends me "to mill and to meeting," to the restaurant for my meals (I could not go alone without daily iiisulb) ' to the cathedral ser vices, on my visiting and exploring expeditions, as inevitable as my shadow and as useless. Perhaps I do her injustice in saying she is neither useful nor ornamental. Con- sidered simply in the latter light, she is as effectively picturesque as much of our bric-a-brac, an ugly Japanese jar, for inst&hce, ; with her eyes that shine like stars, and skin the colour of an old shoe. Upon the soles of her tiny bare feet she wears sandals of her own making, cut from the leg of an old boot, laced over and over with bits of string and around her shapely ankles. She always wears a long blue robozo (a sort of national shawl), which with one careless toss she winds around her head and shoulders with a grace which no American could imitate if she tried a lifetime. As for usefulness, she watches for tarantulas and centi pedes, and the-lelight with which she tortures poisonoub toings, tearing off their legs, sticking pins into them, and then grinding them into the ground, is characteristic. Monterey '. Core. Springfield Republic n. THE BRITISH NAVY. Great uncertainty pervades the public mind as to the real state of the Navy. That this should be so is not surprising. Have we, not ranged on one side Admiral of the Fleet Sir Thomas Symonds, Admiral do .Horsey, . Sir Sydney Dacres, Captain Bedforn Pirn, Lord Henry Lennox, Mr. Cavendish Bcntinck, Sir E. J. Reed, and a score of Naval officers of distinction besides, "t ' who arc ever asserting that our Navj' will 80(m be no match for that of France ; that it is now unequal to "the requirements of the Empire that our ships, as a rule, are unfit rfor anything but coast defence, and,. .as n "whole, utterly incapable ' of blockading an enemy's coast, puch as that of France, for example? Sir Thomas Symonds has repeatedly stated that our ironclad ships "arc unable to save themselves under the , commonest circumstances ;" that their armament is so defective, with their old muzzle-loaders, that were the French armour-clads to meet ours in the Channel, the issue of the combat, notwithstanding the assur ances of "My Lords" to the con trary, would be very doubtful Life. 'What is a score?" said t)ic ,, teacher, "The number of runs got at a cricket match," replied the urchin. "No, no; what I mean is how much docs a score signify numerically? What does it give? That is to say, were I to tell you that T had a score of horses, what would you think?" "Please, ma'am, I should think you was stufiln' me," calmly replied the boy. Wish Wonns. Fools will often make success where prudent people fail. We cannot become liberal unless 'we avoid petty motive. The bane of distrust will tend to extinguish inspiration. wwMStN HMMHMMMMatlalMM &- BAGWE EXPRESS 'Ring up Tdophdrio.'Jtii. .No02 1 F YOU WAST it Cheap Jot. ilouc to' A any pari of the Uitv or Suburbs.
