[Special Correspondence.)
Hamiltosl, Dec 81.—"Onions and Yan
kees are our principal and most profitable
crops, and both come about the samo time,"
said a leading citlien of Bermuda to mo
yesterday, This truthful if somewhat flip
pant remark indicates the importance of
the United States to this little spatter of
islands lying in tbe deepest soundings of
the Atlantic some 6TO miles directly off
Hatteras and 700 due southeast from New
York. Thero are about 16,000 inhabitants
in Bermuda, of whom over two-thirds are
colored. The entire subsistence of these
people is supplied by Americans, either
through their consumption of potatoes,
onions or tomatoes, or by the money spent
by some 0,000 clttsens of tho United States
who yearly carry their rheumatism and
weak throats from tho rigors of our north
ern winters to tho oquabio temperature of
these coral rocks.
Not a few wealthy men have become so
ennmorefl of the Islands that t hey havo es
tablished permanent homes here. Many
widows of American clergymen and lawyers
havo established themsolvcs hero also, and
Bermuda has long been a favorite residence
for retired officers of»the United Statet
navy. Tho clltuato is a trifle enervating,
but not unpleasantly so. A disposition to
do tho day aftei'.tomorrow what you can
get rid of today is the result of warmth
and sea air. Tho temperature ranges from
45 degs. in winter to 80 dogs, in simmer,
but is never uncomfortable except in mid
summer, when moisture makes even 80
degs. a trifle oppressive. Frost and snow
aro unknown. The coming crops of onions
and potatoes wero planted iv October, and
blooming flowers, green lawns, sprouting
gardens and clear skies, with occasional
quick squalls, further the delusion of early
spring at this time. The onions and pota
toes will be ready for market about tho
middlo of January..,
Hotel accommodations aro plentiful and
excellent, but visitors generally seek one of
the many admirable boarding houses sit
uated ell ovor tho Islands, where, for from
ten dollars par week upward, ono can livo
excellently woll, or one con hire a good
furnished bouse with a littlo "estate" sur
rounding it und buy and cook for them
selves. Lot not your mouth water in ex
pectation of early vegetables, howover.
Eh-erytbing that Bermuda raises, from
onions to Easter lilies, is sold tfi the factors
of Now York comailsatori houses before it
is token from the ground, and your onions
will-come from Jloboken, your potatoes
from the Aroostook and your celery from
Kitlamaioo. Your beef will be good, for
American "critters" must go down thero
"on the hoof and be for many weeks
stall fed before slaughtering.
Don't bother about exchange.
The attractions of Bermuda will supply
amusement, for many'weeks. Tho navy
yard, with its- gigantic Coating dock, the
largest in the world; the great Giblw hill
light so familiar to mariners; the magnifi
cent convlot built roads, cut from the solid
rock; the clerou forts manned by red coated
English regiments; the numerous caves;
tho anclont churches and burial grounds;
the house and farm whereon Tom Moore,
the Irish poet, leafed nwoy his term as gov
ernor of Bermuda;, the fish pouds in which
the tido rises and falls; the crabs which
climb the rocks like epiders; tho fishier in
tho nenrby wators for sharks cndrockilsh;
tho tropical growths, all make up v cata
logue of quiet cnticument fitted for the in
valid. Lack of well wafer and the hifjh
price of ice are two drawbacks hero. So
porous is the foundation rock of tho island
that the sea water fr.iriy permeates it, and
well water is brackieh. Tanks, well kept
roofs and frequent showers supply the bev
erago of nature, but ouc soon becomes accus
tomed to tho tssto of rainwater.

[Special Correspondence.]
FehuaKukz de Tads, .Tim. B.—We Amer
icans, with a self sntlnfied complacency
born of groat achievements, are wont to
think ot the United States as the source nf
all good thing l * in tbe New World, and
least of an do wo look to Mexico for an ex
ample in learning or literature. And ret
it is ono of tbe odd incidents of American
history that the first print ing press in tho
western hemisphere won sot up incur re
publican neighbor on the south, then in
vassalage to an Old World kingdom under
the name of Nuevo Espagna. It is ono of
the curious facts in tho history of this
Union that the first newspaper published
in the great empire west of the Missouri
river was issued here in New Mexico. Over
in the forlorn littlo Protestant cemetery at
Taos, just a few yards from tho grave of
Kit Carson, is the plain bit of board set up
to mark tho last resting place of tho pio
neer publisher.
Padre Martinez evidently was a man of
unusual force cf character and enlighten
ment, for ho established his paper in 1837.
To fully comprehend the enterprise of this
Mexican priest one must consider tho age
und the locality. The first American rail
road was not yet a decade old in the mar
velous era it opened. The advance; senti
nels of Saxon oivilization had barely
reached the Mississippi river, and beyond
thorn toward tho land of Montozuma wa3 a
deaort practically uncr.plored. Taos was a
little hamlet nestled away among tho
Rocky mountains of northern New Mexico,
the inhabitants of which spoke only Span
ish and knew only of el Gringo by occa
sional contact with trappers aud hunters
like Kit Oarson.
Santa Fo, the nearest town of conse
quence, was seventy-five miles away and
could only bo reached by a narrow trail
that crept ovor tedious mountains and
through wild canyons. The press used by
the good padre was imported from Spain
and landed at Vera Cruz. From that port
to Taos, a distance of 1,500 miles or more,
the cumbrous machine had to be packed
on burro* or hauled on the ancient wagons
with wheels mndu of solid blocks of wood,
each a section ot a great log.
This paper wo* called El Crf>pusculo(The
Dawn). Crcpusculo has tho peculiarity of
leaning the Unco betwoeu darkness and
daylight, and may therefore mean either
tho dawn of morning or the twilight of
ovening. Of course there was no doubt as
to tho sense, in which Padre Martinez used
the word.
This advanced priest also conducted an
academy in those early years, and he printed
some of tho books used in his school, lie
was a power in tbe old province, but to
ward the closo of his career he fell from
grace. Mis vows of eelibae.7 sat lightly
upon him, and ho was said to have three
families of children. TVJs scandalous state
of affairs finally came to tho ears of the
church dignitaries, and he was excommu
nicated. He thereupon conducted an lr.de
peirdent churoh until his death. He urged
his people to educate themselves, telling
tnem they would need greater powr-rs to
successfully withst.md tho Invasion of
Ameriuau energy and Intelligence.
His body was buried iv tho dirt floor of
the Catholic church, but afterward re
moved to tho Protestant cemetery.

SOME OF PORTER'S STORIES.
Blowing slow Witty tho General Cau Eo
on Occasion.
Everybody is interested in a good story
teller. Wo present herewith » few Bamples
of General Horace Porter's ready wit. It
must be remembered that it is not more
tho subject matter of General I*Orter's stea
rics than his inimitable way of telling
them tbat provokes from his hearers tho
roars of laughter that are chronicled be
tween brackets in ncwspaiwr reports of his
Speeches. And It is not only his way, in
the sonso of personality, which cannot be
put in print, but in the quaint turns of
speech which make his stories when printed
read with a smack of Artemus Ward or of
John Phoenix.
Here are the stone::
"I once tried to travel
through Germany on my
Pennsylvania dialect.
When Germans didn't un
derstand a word wo said it
was not only no fault of
i Stories I
iNurnberi
;1 and 2.;
ours, but a painful misfor
tune that they had not been brought up in
tho state of Pennsylvania. When I was in
Germany they addressed me in various
ways. They would spin out a sentence in
that elastic language, attenuated to tho
thinness of a cobwob, and if I did uot show
signs of comprehension they would tele
scope tho whole sentence into ono confused
word and try mo with that. I wont on for
two days and did not understand a word. I
began to feel lonesome, and the more people
came up to me the more lonesome I felt. It
reminded mo of my early days, when I and
a few other cadets at West Point obtained
a furlough and came into New York to havo
a good time.
"Ono of the party during dinner drank
too much. He got through the remonstra
tive stago, tho philosophic stage, and at
length worked up everything in the form
of an equation, giving us his deliberate
conclusion to accompany us to tho panto
mime at Niblo's. Wo told him to brace
up and pull himself together; that ho could
go and sco what it waa like and then come
away. He linked his arms in ours, and we
got down to the theater. The pantomime
went ou, aud ho watched with intense in
terest tho violent gesticulations of the
actors, not a word being spoken. He leaned
over his seat, put Us hand to his ear, and
when the curtain went down he remarked:
'I say, I am drunker than I thought I was.
I haven't understood a word that has been
aold in the wholo play.'
"Tbat Is just tho way it was with me in
Germany. Finally it became absolutely
necessary for me to know whether a certain
train wont through to Berlin. I rehearsed
my grammar, and gathering together cer
tain fragments of that disjointed langu.-yrc
I called the conductor and hurled at his
head the following verbal projectile. I
knew if It struck homo I should be apt to
hear from him: 'Goht dicscr Zug nach Ber
lin ohno Wechsel?' no turned upon mo a
look 1 shall never forget. 'Mom Gott in
Himniol,' he said, 'what a tarn lino kind of
German is that which you here speakl' "
General Porter Is fond ot drawing on his
own reminiscences for humorous anecdotes.
Hero is one, with the application thereof:
"When I look around
upon these groaning boards
1 think of ono of Sherman's
bummers down in South
Carolina during the war.
The refriiuent was ordered
ono morning to strap their

ammunition on their shoulders and ford a
river. Tho river had swamps six miles on
each side, and this bummer while crossing
turned around to his comrade and Raid,
'Bill. I'm blowed if I don't believe we havo
struck this 'ere river lengthways.' When I
look around upon tho length and brendth
Of tho superb hospitalities you have spread
out before us tonight I think with each in
vited guest hero thßt wo havo struck tlds
hospitality lengthwise."
Hero is another war story told at a dinner
to General Grant:
"I know that our guest
(General Grant) will not
forget tho soldier in tho
Wilderness who strayed off
to tho right of his company
and persisted in firing away
with an air that seemed to
i Story i
iKumlierl
j jr. \
say, 'I net 'em every time.' The captain
of the-company approached him and said,
'White, fall in with tho rest.' White re
plied, 'AH right, go on with your shooting,
but ns for mo 1 am going to havo a private
massacre to myself.'"
General Porter's Ktory of tho Irishman
and tho grog has been told by many other
people, but it is tho general's own story,
and this is tho original version of It:
"An Irishman worked all
day for the agent of an ab
sentee landlord on the
promise of getting a glass
of grog. At night the
agent brought out the grog
to him, and the Irishman
: Story j
jNnmberi

tested it and said to tho agent:
" 'Which did yon put in first, the whisky
or the water?' 'Oh,' said ho, 'tho whisky.'
'Ha! Hal Well, maybe I'll como to It by
and by.' "
Hero is another of the general's .stories
wit h reference to tho sons of tho greet Irish
nation. In it ho tells how a Chinaman got
tho joko on an Irishman for once:
"That learned Chinese
statesman, Chin Lav Pin,
was here at tbo time Denhi
Kearney was having an un
pleasantness with tho ori
entals. Keornoy paid to
him: 'Your people will
[ Story I

have to pet out of here. Tho I rish carry
too much religion uround with thorn to as
aociato with pagans.'
" 'Yes,' eaid Chin Lan Pin, 'we hnvo de
termined to go. Our own country is too
overcrowded now. We can't go there, and
I think we'll go to Ireland.'
"SaidKearney: 'To Ireland? You will bo
jumping out of tho frying pan into the fire.'
Chin Lav Pin: 'I havo traveled in
your country and all around a good deal,
p.ud I have come to tho conclusion that
nowadays Ireland is about tho only coun
try that is not governed by tho Irisn.'" "
Story No. T vi a recollection of tho war:
"When the commanding
general In our lato war hail
decided to make a decisive
movement against the en
emy aud had made all prop
crutions for it, ho called to
rotary';
iJiumberl

a young staff officer, saying
that when ho gave tho orders for the final
charge tho Officer was to look at his watch
and record the exact time. The young man,
thinking the decisive moment of his llfo
Lad come, ennio forth with that look of self
sufficiency which is only begotten of youth
aud inexperience, and when the final order
was given opened his watch and informed
the commanding general that it had run
