THE INVASION OF MEXICO. A War Waged by the 'atted States Wilthout Jostllleation. In 1846 came the American war and invasion, when the United States, with one fell swoop, as it were, took from Mexico more than one-half of all its fri territory-923.83 square miles out of a lit former total 1.690.317. It is true that ms payment was tendered and accepted for ow about one thirty-fourth part (the Gads den purchase) of what was taken, but at appropriation and acceptance of pay- a ment were alike compulsory. For this bir war the judgment of ail impartial his tory will undoubtedly be that there was no justification or good reason aon t the part of the United States. It may al be that what happened was an inervita Wde outcome of the law of the survival a of the fittest, as exemplified among na tions; and that the contrasts as seen tob- P day between the life, energy. and eee P' development of much of that part of old Mexico that became American-Cal- e Ifornia. Texas, and Colorado, and the lis stagnant. poverty-stricken condition of " the contiguous territory-Chihuahua. st, Sonora.

T The amount of money spent in hotels a in New York must be enormous.. I l was hatting with a well-posted hotel i man last night who was telling me sl about the prices paid by some of the guests.

'--ss r ==- * 'he Connettlon That Exists Between H Morality and Clothes. A biographer of Haydn states that T when he sat down to the composition bom of any of his great musical works he first arrayed himself in the most bril- all lians and elegant apparel at his com mand; and in like manner Skoheleff one of the most brilliant and suy cessful mo generals of modern times-before going into battle always donned a splendid wit uniform of spotless white. No royal you bird ever plumed its feathers with more do pride and care. These eminent in-. stances, and many more of a similar na- am ture might be quoted, to prove that the ab self-conlidence of mankind depends, in am a great degree. upon the taolor and the bhu dressmaker. D)id these but know their for power the hutwl.an ra:.' nouult Ibe as pup- sit pets in their hands.' af It is quit. ojv on'a to the most super- ad fictal observer that there is an estb b lished relat'on between certain mental or moral cha:racter:stics and certain styles or peculiarities of dress; but it be- o comets a very difficult although interest- ** ing quest:on to determine which is cause sth wad which eft ect. Does the particular the trait of character, by some process of natural selection, seek to express Jol itself in a corresponding style of dress? or does the habit of the the man, accidentally adopted. per haps. superinduce its kindred saade of character. However this may be. it cannot be doubted that in most in stances the one is at least the reflex of the other. It is not wholly for the de- al lectation of small boys and nursery ga maids that the soldier is arrayed In all In the panoply of war. Nor Is it a mere accident that from time immemorial tnl sack-cloth (of one !e..erption or an- a other) has been the common garb of ca the penitent. The shallow vanity, in- w sineerity, anad pitiful moral weakness of the shabby genteel could not be ex- de pressed more plainly than they are in th the threadbare finery by which they a- a tempt to palm themselves off for some thing which they are not. These only excite contempt. whereas all true men are glad to make obeisance to the hon- wi est darn of what Dr. Johnson called wi I 'premeditated poverty." A sturdy beggar in his rags may command re- es spect and even excite remorse when, in manly resentment of some slight, he threatens, like old Ochiltre, to beg of us no more. It is, again, a physiolog i ieal fact that there is a close relation t between the part cular style of a cler- qi s gyman's waistcoat and his theological to iews. Who has ever seenI an upholder , of the apostolic snecession in a low-cut vest? Such radical devices are adopt Ied only by the exponent of a lower or Sbroader tlheology.

In This true story comes from an old sea- So board town in Maine: Jacob loved Rachel, but Rachel wouldn't T have him. Jacob labored on, pressing his the salt at intervals, and after each rebuf tell- stre ing her be was bound to win her yet, and off convinee every one she cared for him as O much as he believed in his heart she did. an '.Very well," cried the indignant Rachel, por with a toss of her head, "keep right on till joy you make fokis believe that, and when you u do I'll marry you!" whi Jacob did persevere, but with small se- ing ceas, and at last began to lose courage. kr About this time another suitor of Rachel's itsa arrived home from sea, bringing with him, ye among other exotics, a parrot of gorgeous ene hue which he presented to Rachel, who forthwith had the bird suspended from the ad sittinlr room window, whence she looked out dur afternoons when her work was done. For oft a day or two after his elevation to this dig- my alty the parrot remained marvelously quiet, of only castislur aeye about as if taking in his new sitastion. On the third mormng. how ever, no sooner did the neighbors begin to at. stir than he eleetrlfledeach passer-by with Wt r the announcement: fou f "Rachel's gone on Jacob; no chance for .th John!" a Of course, the more laughter this raised me the more viciferously the bird proclaimed the news. It spread like wildfre, and the the parrot's audience steaily nlocreased. Ra- ct chel, meanwhile, went into hysterics, but cur hbowever much this Incommoded the family vg it made no impression on the parrot, who, although threatened and beaten and rele- t Sated to darkness, waxed more and more 1 urlons with desire to spread his knowledge. Jacob kept out of the way or a while, butin there wasno lack of coursers to brng him information of the other fellow's discomfit are aa4 the parrot's heroic defense of his f cause.
