Catching the Fancy of the Fair Sex Sell er of Motion Innumerable. (Fanny Brhrham Ward.) Among the established institutions of Mexico uro the itinerant merchants, who continually perambulate the streets, for if the mountain can't come to Mahomet, it naturally follows that Mahomet goes to the mountain. Besides bis little tray of goods and the ribbons, laces, scarfs, and embroideries hung over his arms and shoulders, the peddler carries a camp table, which he spreads upon the pave ment, and deposits his tray thereon while conducting business between the bars of the windows, for, being a "hor rid man," of course he must not go in side, fir- Apparently the female heart is the samj tho wide world over, and the de light which these dark-eyed women take in purchasing all manner of trumpery, from silk dresses to ginger -bread horses, is identical with that of their northern cousins who haunt the stores of New York. At all hours of every day, but especially Sundays, in every city and hamlet of Mexico, these perambulating comercientes swarm the streets, offering all imaginable commodities, from a lunch of hot tamales or sweet potatoes to hair puffs and switches. They thrust iato your windows and insist upon your purchasing, not only notions innumer able, but the goods of tailors and hard ware merchants, milliners and grocers, shoes, jewelry, saddles and harness, chunks of meat, pigs, alive and dead, goats and the rpoultry, young kids that cry like babies, cages of birds, opals fresh from the mines, and pearls from Pacific fisheries, antiquities from ruined pyramids and buried cities, sometimes of priceless value, which they sell for a few cents because they are old in short, everything the imagination can conceive. The fruit peddler bears his figs, ba nanas, grapes, onions, peppers and po tatoes all mlsed together in the huge wooden bowl upon his head. Ine duloe (candy) vender carries his sweets to the sweet on a tray, slung around his neclt with a rope of maguey; tho milk seller totes his cans upon his back; the water carrier has two enormous jars, one hanging behind, the other before, both upheld by a leathern strap around his forehead; while, tho petroleum man car ries his well- watered stock in a tin box and retails it by the gill, or wholesales it at tho rate of $1 a gallon. The baker comes around twice a day, at early morn, and dewy eve, with his broad, which would make excellent can non balls, in a big basket balanced upon his head. He always carries his pre cious sombrero, which probably cost him a years earnings, in the basket among the loaves, and if a thrifty fel low he economizes his shoes in the same ' mannor. Meanwhile the air is vocal with other cries. The cake vender shouts in soft-vowelled astilian, "Gar ditas! Garditas! Aqni son buenasgar ditas!"("Fat little cakes! Fat little cakes! Here are good, fat little cakes:") Carbonero-o-o-o, bowls the coal man. Tortillas de ena.ada? (curd cakes) inter rogates another. Mantequilla! Mante quilla! croaks the half naked creature who thrusts under your nose a pot of odoriferous grease, while the vender of poultry, sauntering along in tho suu with his oane cage on his shoulders, sings in sleepy monotone, "bucks and chlokens! oh, my soul! Good ducks and chickens!" Insects' Breathing Arrangement. (Natural!? Letter. If we take any moderately large in sect, say a wasp or a hornet, be can see, ven with the naked eye, that a series of small, spot-like marks ran along either side of the body. These apparent spots, which are generally eighteen or twenty in number, and, in fact, the apertures through which air Is ad mitted into the system, and are gener ally formed in suoh a manner that no extraneous matter can by any possibil ity rind entrance. Sometimes they are furnished with a pair of homey lips, whioh can be opened and closed at the will of the insect, in other cases they are densely fringed with stitf interlacing bristles, forming a filter, which allows air, and air alone, to pass. But the apparatus, of what ever character it may be, is always so wonderfully perfect in its action that it has been found impossible to inject the body of a dead insect with even so sul - tie a medium as spirits of wine, although the subject was first immersed in the i.uid and then placed receiver of an air pump. beneath the Papp e Under Glass.
