ISM. rucsday morning our parly, cntitlsllng of A. W. aillord.G. 0. Flsh.n mnchln Itt nml linns Mlcklo, slnrled for Mexico Tin the Mexican National. You get on the train In Laredo and cross the river on a temporary hrldge. One of the ter rors, nnd probably the greatest tn trav eling, Is I li custom' house In passing from one country to another. It Is In tho hands of tho subordinates, to make it very unplcnsnnt,shoiild they bo so dis posed, for travelers, nnd nlso to put them to. considerable cost; at thosauio time would In no wny bo of pnrtlculnr value to the Interests of thn country. Luckily we escaped nil aunoynnco this time. CI 111'. Is an old hand In the busi ness or traveling to Mexico, nnd knows tho weakness of liuinnii nature, Includ ing that of the Mexican In general, nnd custom house Inspectors In pnrtlculnr. On tho train ho bought tho Illicit melons he could get, and held them over for the Mexican National. In our party was n young nrscnnl, the property of Fish and his companion, besides what we had In our grips, but on the nnpearancc of the Inspector lilt attention was called to the melon, nnd he was duly presented with the same with all the formality of n Stnto presentation of a foreign embassa dor, nnd then when wu proceeded to open our bnggngo wo were told Willi Im pressive politeness not to troublo our selves. While we had nothlni; contra band, yet tho courtesy was duly appre ciated and nckiinwledcd. Oil!, had on ellok suit or black, and It was hinted that It looked very much liken wedding suit, but he had It on, and therefore snouiu sucn lie hid ense, it wns not con traband. Hut what couid he bo wanting with a wedding. Qnlen sabu, (with n shrug of the shoulders.) Soon after the bustle of Inspection of trunks nt the depot, wo nre nwny for the Interior. In spite of all I can do, al though I have passed the border ninny n lime, there comes over mo u feeling of strangeness. I sensibly reel that I am In n strnngo land, mid so It is. There Is not n feature about tho people or Mex ico, their customs nnd habits, but what Is novel and strnngo tonn American who sees them for the llrst time. If you want novelty nnd vnrlety, why go Ihou tnnds of miles to .Europe, Asia or Africa, when right nt your door, you can ace and lenrn from four nearest neighbor things that It will bo n pleasure for you to refer to nil tho rest of your life. Tho scenery for JO miles niter leaving Lnredo la monotonous nnd with out Interest, nllnolt exnclly like that of the Hlo Urande. After passing the Ha Indo, n bold, line river, tho distant I.nm pazos mountains appear In blue outlines tn the West. Oh, tho mountains, tho beautiful mountains, how 1 love fo watch tho changing outlines as thetrnln whirls along nt n speed of from WI to US miles nn hour, l.niniwos, 71 miles, almost due west from Laredo. Is the first town or Importance. It Is about a mile from the station, nnd Its peculiarities cannot bo distinguished, If It hns any, which Is hnrdly probnble,ns tho most monotonous sameness exists In nil smnll Mexican towns. The point of Interest from here Is Ln Mesa do los Cnrtejanos, n table land or Hat mountain, somo 11 miles to the right. Much has already been writ ten of this naturul wonder, nnd many of your renders are more familiar with Its description than I am, and to do It full justice would take more snaco than I am allowed. I will therefore oontent my seirwlth saving that It Is n mountain rising abrubtly from the plane to the height or about 2000 feet, with perpen dicular sides, and has but one road to Its summit constructed at great cost. On top It is dlversllled, with an area or somo ellit miles wide and forty long, and contains snrlnus. riinnlnir streams. It Is the property or Mr. I'utrlclo Ml I mo, of jioniercj, wnere lie lias nn eiegnni resi dence, which ho usually occupies during the heated term, lie has live ranches stocked null Improved stock. It Is one or the wonders of the American conti nent. I had the good fortune or un Introduc tion to Mlts Julia Mtidd, whose parents live at Topo C'hlco, the hot springs near Monterey, and -Miss Iladen, of Laredo. Tho llrst named young lady was relum ing home Iroiu n visit to the Stntcs, and the last was accompanying her as fur as lluttemente, from which plnce she re turned home by returning truln. fhey both were full of life nnd wit, nnd Miss Miuld, who hnd traveled nil over. Mexico. furnished much and valuablo Informa tion to n seeker nrter truth like linns Mlcklo. Our tmrtv. 1'lsb. Ulll'ord and yours truly stopped nt Vlllaldnma, lot) nines iroui l.nreuo. inis 18 tne neau quarters or considerable mining enter nrlso nrlnclnnllv In tho hands of Amcri. onus, or which I shall. speak Inn letter devoted to that subject alone. The town hns n woc-begoue,delapldnaed ap penrnnce, ns has many or the Mexican towns nt present. It contains some 2000 people engngeu in nirming nntl mining and ns tho farmer was last yenr a rail' ure. here the same as In Texas, tho tires. cnt abundnnt crops go principally to pay ueuis. u e eioppeu at a very comioria' ble hotel nnd neru treated with unlver sal kindness and consideration.. In the nioriilnir we saw Mr. Fish with Mr. lloguschc, tho Superintendent, oil' for thetr mine at Vnllcelllo. about C." miles east. At -'.I'J p. in. (Jlll'nnd Hans were again nuoaru oi uio nine uaisy .Mexican National bound for Monterev. There Is liollilnir of sneclul Interest to the tourist except tho towering mountains on every, side that bee.. me monotonous tu ant one but nn enlhuslntt like myself, who imagines us no iooks nt tncir ciouu bathed peaks that he is getting about us close n view of Heaven as he ever will, and the forest of Spanish dag gers, as they are known among us. This forest is some twenty-live miles in ex tent, and here yott see the Insignificant ilirub rise Into n tree of twenty-live to thirty feet In height with great branches each one or which cnds'nbrubtly with a tuft of dagger leaves, it la a novel sight to u northerner, and one of the strongest reminders that he Is approach ing the lorrld lono. At I o'clock you nrrhent Monterey, tho capital city of northern Mexico. The description or this city Is too important to begin In this already extended letter. I will therefore, reserve It for the noxt. There la n feeling of reller come over mo tn get at a real stopping place, and actually In side of tho country witli not tho least unpleasant Incident or annoyance. Ks- peemiiy were wo lortiinaie in regaru to Hasting the frontier custom house. (Ilir must have credit or It all. Kvery time that I have heretofore crossed tho border 1 have found a man with n big Ivory handled slx-shonler with an eai?ln nn It swung to him, always nt my elbow dc- iiiiiiiuuig an examination oi oaggage ft half a doen times, as if It were possible to get contraband coods bv telearanh at somo way station. Hut C!irt,whoso long reddcnccln the counlry.hls extensive ac quaintance has been Improved In study iiiKiiiu mimic, oi me men who com pose these vlnllnnt guards, took tho pre caution at San Antonio, to provldo him self with a hair n doren or the llnest watermelons that ho could find. You cannot conceive the anion it or favors received through these luscious melons. There was only one left when he got posited among our baggage. When wo reached the sacred toll or tho land of "Uod and Liberty," we were boarded bv Hie Olllclnla. nnd on their atuirnnch Ulfl', In Ids most Impressive urbanity, loiiiieu 10 uio aioreiaiu truit and made dm n formal tender or I he sum,. Then he proceeded to the vallteatoopenlhem rur Inspection. The guard Insisted that It wns useless, nnd told htm not to trouble himself with It. Or course, QUI", nor any one or the parly, had anything contraband, but the relief of the annoyance was worthnycar or lire Not once were wo molested on this side, and I must say that this Is the llrst experience or tho kind In tho many mum inn. i nnvo crosseu into .Mexico. Uyou think that til IT don't understand human nature, you don't know hlui. There Is one thing that 1 can't let pass unnoticed. I have been hero about a week and have been on the go all the time, visiting n great many places, nnd have seen many ncoplo orallclassos. It Is, therefore, with surprise that 1, yes terdi.y, read tn the Kxpress a purported Inter lew with Charles Dlgnowlty, who spent a few days here. From that Inter view It would seem that Hie Mexican government waslevvlng upeclaltaxon American capital. Phis Is raise In tnto. Aiiicrlcin capital is the name at other capital, no less nor more If the taxes are excessive to Americans, they aru thu samo to Urrmana, Knglish nml native Mexicans. It Is a great injusllco to give out such nn Impression, in It It utterly Neither nre the people going naked nnd starving moro than In American cities. Uyou want to see iquallor, you need not come tn Monterey.or any other Mexlcnn city. You can II ml plenty or It In San Antonio. I could apply to San Antonio the very words or Mr. Dlgno wlty with Justus much truth ns they ap ply to Ibis section. Tills I say In the fullest sense, and hope that people, will give It proper thought. That Mexico Is to-day tnx-rldden I do not deny, but I do deny and brand It as raise that It It more oppressive on American capital than on that or any other elms or capital. Hani Micm.k.

The Fret- Ident hat teen tome genuine hot weather during the ptst three days. He knows now what Washington can do In thai direction. Yesterday be wat busy nt usual with olllclal matters, and taw only callers who were especially Invited tu Hie White House. District matters nbsorbed a good part of Ids time. He xpectsto innke n large number of np- polntmentt during the next two weeks, and wilt then turn hU back upon Wash ington until tho middle of September. 1 here has been a great deal or gossip In the papers during thu week on the subject or tho President's policy about olllclal changes. First It wat announced that the President had ordered n practi cal halt In the old business or removing Itcpubllcan olllco holders on charges or offensive partisanship. This wat speed ily denied, and the result seems to bo that things aro going on much nt usiinl. Tho President does nil that he can do on any given day, and stops when he gets through. There hat been no change In the policy or the administration, and int-ro it not iiKciy to ue any. It la n business administra tion, and It will so remain. i was impressed by the remarks or n Weatcrn Representative the other day before hit departure for home. He laid: "1 am now going home nnd shall not re turn till next November." "How It that?" I asked. "Have you got every thing you wantedV" "I have obtained very little, but I have arrived at ft plan of ascertaining what will be done In the wnys ot ntiiKiintmenta. I can tell everr time, and that being the case I do not leei mat it is specially important ror mo to ttnv here." "What Is vour tilanf" "It Is ns follows: Take all the promises. i in togetiier an ine points mat seem to point toward the appointment of n cer tain Individual to olllce. ln this should bo Included the promises of Cabinet Ministers, eto. When you havo arrived at the conclusion that teems Inevitable, anu you iiciioveyou know wuai is going to happen, tcttle upon the exact oppo site of that, tho very thing that Is the most unlike It, and you will have uio result io n mniiicmaiicni cer tainty. This Is an administration ol op poshes. The unexpected It certain to happen." "You are evidently not well pleated wllh some things that have been dona?" "No. 1 can hardlv sav that. To be sure, It Is a little upsetting to have a thing turn out dlllerently from what you oxpeoted, but I can't tar as any special damage to the country has been Indicted tncreny. ine paiiautuiu or liberty It still Inviolate." Certain ugly newtpapcrs, some Repub licans and others of the Democratic per suasion, have been felicitating them selves during the past week on the re port that the President had devoted last Sunday to Killing at Woodmont. It hat been n very cruel discovery ror them Hint the President did nothing ot the tort, but spent the dny exactly ns a gen tlemnn should, and did Ids fishing on Monday. Most or them havo refused lo make the discovery nt nil, for tho lie was too good n one to be abandoned to suddenly. "I want to be Interviewed," tnld an Ohio Representative to mo the other day, "Whnt about?" 1 nsked, "I don't care. I simply want to be brought nut Btrong on something, and then I will tend the paper home and let the people know that 1 am being noticed. 1 want to come to the front. I have been In Congress nno term, and this time 1 want to get n committee. In fact, 1 must have one. I want to havo Speaker Carlisle know that I nm alive also." And to I Interviewed htm. The president has approved tho fol lowing special olvll service rule: Ap pointments to the 150 places In the pen sion olllce, provided to bo filled by the act or March 3. 1SS.1, except so far as they may bo tilled by promotions or transfers, mutt be separately appor tioned by the appointing power In at near conformity to the second section of or the act or June 10, 1HS3, at the need of filling them promptly and the resi dence and qualifications or the appli cants will permit." Miss Cleveland might be willing to ac cept an appointment to till one or three vncsnclcsui the board of school trustees. from our commissioners for the period of uer tiuy iiere. i nuns mere is ft uciu for her mine". There would bo no troublo In finding two other ladles of tho district who would be worthy coad tutors for Miss Cleveland In transforming a wrangling, captious, uitorucriy, ineiu clcnt board Into one that would fulfill tho design of Its creation and bo of vast nsslstment to the public schools.
