KENDALL'S NA.RBATIVB CONTINUED.
The village of Anton Chico is built on n
square, the houses fronting tho inner nido,
although there are entrances, protected by
Btroua doord on tho outer. Tho hoxises fire
of one story only, built of adobou, a Rpecies
of suu dried brick, wlnlo tho tops are lint
They had neither windows nor floors, and
in uoint of comfort nud convenience aro on
ly one doi'rco removed from tho. rudest wig
warn of the Indian. In case of attack from
savagca continually hovering and committing
depredations upon tho frontiers of New
Mexico, these little hamlets servo as forts,
tho Indians rarely pursuing the inhabitants
further than tho outer walls, as they carry
on their warfare entirely on horsoback
Thia description of Anton Chico will ans
wer for a maiority of tho ranches and small
er towns of New Mexico their buildings
being all constructed of the samo materials
and in the same uiaunor.
Wo entered the largest house in tho placo.
It had but two rooms, the earthen floor and
scanty furniture of which gave them a prison-like
and desolate appearance. No chair
or table, knife or fork, did the occupants
possess, and wo were given to nderstand
that we were in the house of tlrtJ "first fann
ly" of Anton Cltico. We callod for some
thing to eat, suggesting a somewhat varied
"bill of fare" to be spread before us, for
which we manifested our willingness to pay
the highest price; and our dinner consisted
substantial and extras all enumerated
of tortillas, boiled Cggs and meal and water
In the meanwhile our animals outside were
faring infinitely better than ourselves, for
they had an ample supply of corn and fod
dergood legitimate food for them, to which
they did ample justice.
The sun was about setting by the time we
had finished our meal; yet we determined
upon traveling some ten miles further to
wards San Miguel that evening. After pay.
ing the master of the house tho most exor
bitant prices for every article we had pro
cured, and after his daughters had present
ed each of us with a bundle of oigaritas of
their own manufacture, we saddled and
mounted our horses and again proceeded for
San Miguel.
Immediately after leaving Anton Chico,
we were compelled to climb a high, steep
and rooky hill or mountain, and on reaching
its summit, by which time darkness had
overtaken us, we found ourselves without
a road and completely lott in a grove of
stunted pines and cedars. To advance was
impossible, and we accordingly retraced our
str-ps to tho village we had left but a short
time previous. Once more we secured our
animiils to a Ledge fence, noar tha house
where we had procured our homely dinner,
and after carrying our baddies, Lridks and
and other euuipuiei.ts to a corner of the
room which Lad beta appropriated to our
use by the maMer, we rolled ouTseive up
ia our blankets with tho vaia hope, as it was
the first nijjLt wo had passed under cover
for months, of enjoying a rtfresLing sleep.
But no such L'oodrluek was in store for us
thera wat a cloc enc-M in the atmosphere to
which we Lad long Leon fctrangers, the room
was occupied Ly some thirty iten, women

Kverv mombcr of tho family, which con-
alatcd of a craudfathor and grandmother
with thoir chlldrou ond their childreu'a chil
dren, aeomod to bo badly affected by a cold,
nr worao for tho younger branches were all
evidontly with the worst form of whooping
cough. The grown people appeared to have
tho most distressing cougha to match their
cold, whllo tho children seemed at times to
bo in porfoct convulsions. Occasionally the
distressinc sounds would all die away; anon,
one of tho children would begiu coughing
frightfully, another would join in the dis
cordant din, and immediately, the whole
family were in full chorus. .And thus they
barkod away the hours. '

Editor Fbek Tress: The edict of the
"Veiled Prophet" is published commanding
his Bubjocts to prepare for tho grand carni
val on the night of October 4th. lue pre-
nitrations for that event and for the inter-
tftinment of visitors at tho fair exceed nil tho
sights and scenes of tho past. , Broadway,
as 5th street is now callod, is one continuous
not-work of gas-pipe, for a distance . of one
mile. All intersecting streets, particularly
Washington avenue, Olive, Pine, Chestnut,
and Market streets, are filled on both sides
with myriads of gas jets, and the illumina
tion will be tho finest and most extensive
ever seen on this continent. Tho pageant
of the "Prophet" it is said will exceed any
thing ever wituossod hero before for tuagm-
llconoo of dress and display of floats. Tho
Fair Oronnds have been greatly improved,
and tho premiums offered by the Associa
tion aro immense. Tho courts of tho city will
all onou on Monday morning, September 1 1 .
Two-hundred-aud-sixty-fivo prisoners aro in
our city jail awaiting trial for felony, and
tho ofllcers of the criminal court have a

huoser Brewery took firo yestorday morn

Tho loss is enormous. Another one of our

gration Tuesday night, a section of wall fell

Ed. Fbee Press: This leaves times not
quito so gloomy as we havo had a nice littlo
shower, which has laid the dust and coolod
tho air to some extent, but we could almost
parch corn in tho sunshine now if wo had
any corn to parch but still improvement
goes on in our city, Messrs. Chenoweth &
Son have just completed a new warehouse
to tho sido of thoir main business house
which is quito an improvement. It is of
barbed wiro. Mr. McQuien has just rcceiv.
ed his first cargo of fruit, consisting of
green apples and red onions, which will be
on tho market to-morrow.
Dr. Porch's business house is now very
near completed, his goods aro arriving and
ho will bo ready for business in a few days.
Tho latest report we have at present is that
our young friend John Klllian will pay
Georgia a visit in a few days. Some of the
old gontlomen are very anxious to know
what John wants to go to Georgia for ; we.
could enlighten them on tho subject if we
chose, but don't like to divulge secrets.
On his return he and Mr. Martin Stewart of
this city, will start a blacksmith shop at this
place. The stylo of tho firm will b-3

Messrs. Martindale and Petty havo im
proved the streets considerably by cutting
down all tho dead trees and trimming the
live ones. Mr. Stanlifer has moved his
meat house back and everything i now
ready for tho court house. McQuien A

tract for building same, as theirs is the low
est bid heard from so far.
Messrs. Hall, Minot, McQuien and Cook,
attended tbe ball at Kyle Friday eve. They
speak in glowing terms of the Kyle gentle
men, and return many tlianks to them for
