Winter Scenes iu Mexico!
ICorrcspowIeuco of Hits Alexandria Gazette.]
City ok Mexico, Jan. 15.??Winter exists
here only in name, for it is a land of ] r
petual spring time At present all kinds of
vegetation is green, and where in igation i3
used the gardens are. growing, vegetables
are beiug gathered and all kinds oi flowers
are iu blossom as thoy were in Jnue.
Penohes, pears and the various kinds of trop
ical fruits are in the market besides line
fresh strawbarries and various other kinds
of small fruit are to be seen each day. Gr<
corn, watermelons and various kinds of
young aud tender squashes fcr table uso are
to be had at all seasons. The public grounds
are in bloom with many cf our northern
houso plants and the ciimr.te is so warm at
present that ail kinds of shrubs and small
plants are as fresh and vigorous as they
were five months ago. The lawns and pub?
lic gardens are mowed regularly as we mow
them iu summer. Burros, loaded with
green alfalfa hay, pumpkins, onio::?, cab?
bage, green corn, spring cnickens. green
peas, pod beanB, and nursle3' greens,
aro common scenes each day iu the
market. The flower stands are tilled with
tho choicer flowers, and gardening is tue
order of tho day. Annual flowers of the
north become perennial here, and all trees
are ever green, llipe corn and corn plant?
ing is seen on tho samo acre, and ripe
oranges and orange blossoms are seen on
tho same tree. In short, overy'green piant
or tree, every blooming flower and ripe
fruit that I saw iu June, July and August
may be seen and enjoyed here on Christ?
mas duy and in fact every day throughout
the winter.
The birds and insects, in many respects,
aro move numerous now than in summer
owing to the migration from the north. So
house-flies, fleas, gnats and mosquitoes are
always with us ; also those other nightly
creatures, that worry us in our dreams, are
ever here aud always active. Then the
more repulsive human parasites are a natur?
al product of the country, and at all times
are more numerous than our northern fleas
in flea time. They are so numerous that no
class of people are always entirely cecure
from them, and indeed there is a majority
of the population who aro always
stocked. Yet there are bees, butter?
flies, bursting buds and flower blooms,
also beautiful birds of plumage and
sweet song; ail which tend to enliven
and enhauee the beauty of the winter scene
in the tropic; but we a!-;o bavo snakes in
the grass, tarantulas in tho houses, horned
toads, alicrans, scorpions :md the poisonous
centipede, which lie in our pathway at
night and are ever ready ;o deprive a stroll
in the. moonlight oi all its tropical romance
The people are not compelled to lay in
winter stores of any kind, neither do they
sutler from frost bites, bad colds, nor do
they have to haul and chop wood, make
tires and go to bed and get up in coid rooms,
build tires and go about in their sock feet
until their boots thaw out, nor do they ( bop
wittering place" in the ice, shove"; out '.now
drift-1 and thaw out pump spouts before
breakfast. Yet they have to do the mc?i cf
their work in the mud and rain during that
six months of the year in which (without
fail) it rains every day. The other six
months thete is a complete drouth, during
which time every Illing where inigation is
not pcssiblo is as dry and barren as our cold?
est winter. Tho dust is then often six
inches deep in the highway. Water is haul?
ed from far and near. In parts sand storms
are a terror far more disagreeable Lhau a
Texas norther or a Dakota blizzard. The
cattle and all kind-5 of stock die by the
thousands, bird3 fly away, flowers never
bloom. All vegetable supplies are scarce
and expensive. The heat of the sun is not
oppressive, yet all seek the shade, aud the
monotony is oppressive iu the extreme. All
nature is at rest and life of roan and beast is
a half sleep and sluugish existence, which
is far more oppressive than our most severe
northern winter.
Thus lifo wears slowly away und tue ma?
turity in this climate is much early in man
and bca's, and hence tho length of iil'e is
perceptibly shorter than farther north.
The wet season corresponds with our sum?
mer and our winter is the dry season here,
so just at present a cloudy day or a drop of
raiu will not be seen before next spring, and
even the dews we so ofcen see in tho north
are at present among the rarities, during
the six months of drouth. The streets of
the capital must be sprinkled every day
during the winter. Many of every
class are wearing straw hats and
linen clothe3 and go out with umbrellas as
a protection against the heat of the sun.
The lower class are bare-footed, and not
one house in a thousand has any means of
warming them, and though warm ii3 the
climate is in winter, fire3 would often be a
source of comfort, for to be without them
is a source of great discomfort for those who J
are accustomed to them.
Thus, while the country has many pleas?
ant features, the long drouth, continued
rain, the hordes of pestiferous insects and
the lack of that pleasant variety of climate
produced by spring, summer, fall and win
ter, makes it a country not so productive as
the temperate zone in the variety of its pro?
ducts, as regards the staples of life, yet in
i's kind ?11 is luxuriant and beautiful to
look upon for the stranger, but in time the
scenes become an oppressive monotony,
hence far more pleasant to see and lea1
than live among. And in time we learn
that Providence isn't a respecter of person .
and that the land of our b rth has as m i
blessings and charms as any other under
the sun. Kaseblek.

CLOTHING.
News travels fast, and the word
is getting around that we have
commenced our holiday presenta?
tion of a
Faterbury Watch and Chain.
The present is given to every
cash PURCHASER OF GOODS
AMOUNTING TO $12 AND
ABOVE : not a watch for every
twelve dollars bought: that we
could not afford; but with every
purchase exceeding this limit,
whether it be fifteen or fifty dollars.
The cost of the watches is but a
small percentage on the average
amount of the sales, hence the ad?
vertisement is less expensive to us
than at first might appear.
It will be a pleasure to make
so many boys happy, and a ""WA
TERB?RY'" is not beneath the
notice of any man not possessed of
a time-piece. The}- are first-rate
watches. If our prices seem high
after you have bought an article,
you kuow there is no difficulty
about having your money refunded
upon return of the article unin?
jured. Thatrs our way of guaran?
teeing our prices to be as low as
those asked anywhere for goods of
equal merit.
