uniform to present their respects to the
visitors. Nobody can have any idea what
gorgeous uniform the United States uni-
form is until he sees the unassuming gen-
tlemen he meets everyday dressed in civil-
ian garb suddenly transfigured, as it were,
by nodding plumes and gold lace. Gen.
Ord's parlors presented a gay and festive
appearance. "The uniforms
A the Mexi-
can officers were particularly piking, be-
ing modeled somewhat, I fancy, after the
French, the red pants being particularly
conspicuous. Besides the military gentle-
men who presented their respects, quite a
number of the principal men of the city
were in attendance, having been invited to
be present by Gen. Ord. Champagne,
eggnog and other refreshments added to
the impressiveness of the occasion.
This afternoon a drive to the quarter-
master's depot, situated a few miles from
the city on a hill, took up the attention of
the strangers. From the tower in the cen-
ter of the square formed by the buildings
a view of the country for twenty miles
around can be had. To-day's programme
winds up with a hop at the Menger hotel.
THE CAPTURED INDIANS.
In my last letter I suggested that in case
le frontier was too far from the Mexican
capital to enable president Diaz to deal
with the Indian raiders, he should take a
sensible view of the matter, and authorize
Gen. Ord to do so, calling attention to the
anecdote of the man with a long nose,
who requested a neighbor to scare off an
annoying fly, remarking, " you are nearer
to him than I am."
Since that letter was written president
Diaz has reached out one of his hands, Gen.
Trevino, and came down smash on the
flies that were hovering about the border.
Taking as a matter of fact that the Indians
that have been raiding on the border have
been actually captured, and some of them
killed, it is a matter of the first importance
to the people of the frontier, and is cal-
culated to promate the era of good feeling
that has begun already. At last we have
something besides honeyed words and
vague promises. The number of Indians
that deprepate on the Texans is not large,
and they can be captured or destroyed
without much difficulty if a serious effort
is made to do Qo. Until the present time
the Mexican authorities have been labor-
ing under the mistaken idea that
the object of the United States
troops on the border was the occupation of
Mexican territory, with the intention of
permanently retaining possession. The
visit of Gen. Trevino is in itself evidence
that this erroneous impression no longer
prevails. And, if additional evidence is
needed, it is to be found in the suppression
of the various bands of Indians, who have
been the real cause of all the trouble, al-
stimulant, a single fatal excitement, may
force it beyond its strength, while a care-
" supply of props and the withdrawal of
tends to force a plant will sustain it in
beauty and vigor until night has entirely
set in.

COMMERCIAL.
Naws Orric*. Monday. Dec. 30.
Business has again been restricted by wet
weather. It is interfering with the shipping
cf cotton to some extent, and no doubt is the
cause of the diminution in the receipts. The
demand to-day flagged on less favorable ad-
vices from Liverpool, and the closing was
weak here and at New York. There was no
reduction of prices made in this market, but
factors were willing sellers at quotations,
especially after the closing quotations had
been received.
Gold continues at par in New York. Many
claim that resumption has been accomplished
and that the fact that greenbacks can be ex-
changed for coin makes them the more desir-
able of the two. Already greenbacks have
been accepted in preference to gold by those
iresentinj interest coupons of United States
jonds for payment, and the New York Chroni-
cle asserts that gold coin has actually ieen
taken to the treasury to be exchanged for
greenbacks.
THE DISPUTED ADVANCE IN MONEY AT
LONDON.
Jn a recent issue our New York correspond-
ent made mention of an advance in money at

information, telegraphed to New York to as-
certain whether tne News report was correct,
and in reply received answers from Mr. Lud-
wig that neither the New York cotton ex-
change nor the New York press had any in-
formation to that effect. We did not then dis-

ISpecial Correspondence of the News.l
San Antonio, Dec. 27.—Yesterday af-
ternoon. about 5 o'clock, Gen. Trevino and
his staff*, consisting of Col. Fermen Ma-
gana, Lieut. Col Felix, M. Gutierrez, Cap?.
B. Zalaeta (of the <Stith infantry), Lieut.
T. Chaix, arrived in this city, accom-
panied by Gen. Thos. M. Vincent, Gen.
Ord's adjutant general, who had gone out
several miles to meet the distinguished
guests. Quite a number of Mexican citi-
zens went out and met the party in the
outskirts of the city. As the party ap-
proached the arsenal, on Flores street, a
salute was fired. Gen. Trevino and Col.
Magana are stopping with Gen. Ord at his
residence near the Alamo, while the other
officers are quartered at the Menger hotel.
This morning your correspondent was
introduced to Gen. Trevino at the depart-
ment headquarters building, the office*- of
which were being inspected by the Mexi-
can visitor, accompanied by Dr. P. Or-
nelas, the Mexican consul, and Gen. Ord
himself. Gen. Trevino can not speak
English, but, as Gen. Ord can speak Span-
ish fluently, no trouble was experienced
in posting the Mexican officers on such
matters as they took an interest in.
gen. trevino s appearance.
He was dressed in his uniform, which
was mostly concealed by a dark overcoat,
and wore a military hat, not unlike those
worn bv our own officers, except it was a
little higher iitothe crown. Gen. Trevino
has the appearance and bearing of a young
man, is certainly not over fifty years of
age, and has that erect carriage and mili-
tary air inseparable from the true soldier.
In stature he is rather above than below
the medium, and is very affable but self-
possessed in his manners. Gen. Trevino
does not look like any Mexican or Spaniard
1 have ever seen. Dressed in civilian's
garb and placed in a promiscuous crowd,
nine men out of ten would pick him out
for an Irishman. If the word is applicable
to men he is what might be called a
blonde, his hair being rather light and his
eyes positively so. There is a certain
quickness about his movements, and a
most unmistakeable air of decision and
promptness in his movements and conver-
sation, which is in harmony with the repu-
tation he bears of being prompt to act,
and not averse to taking the initiative.
Some close observer of human nature has
said that mankind is divided into two
classes, viz: those who are willing to
sume responsibility, and those who are
not, and that the latter outnumber the
former ten to one. Whether this propor-
tion be correct or not, no one would hesi-
tate to class the commander of the north-
ern army of Mexico under the former
class.
The officers accompanying Gen. Tre-
vino look exceedingly well in their hand-
some uniforms, ana are not only gentle-
men, but well educated and dignified in
their manners.
THK RECEPTION.
After a visit to the arsenal, which is in
charge of Capt. Clifton Conely, of the
ordnance department, Gens. Trevino and
Ord returned to the residence of the latter
where a general reception was held. All
the officers of the post appeared in full
though they were, no doubt, instigated by
unprincioled traders. After all, tne Mexi-
cans should be grateful to Gen. Ord for the
persistency with which he has maintained
he policy that these Indians were to be
destrovea or made harmless, for the ma-
jority "of the victims, even on this side of
the boundary, are Mexicans: and if, as
the Mexicans allege, these Lipans and
Kickapoos depredate also in Mexico, this is
an additional reason why they should be
treated by both nationalities as public ene-
mies. •
christmas
is over, and almost everybody seems to
have had some. The Mexicans have had
their celebration, too. Like everything
else Mexican, it is very unique and singu-
lar. Their festivities consist mostly of a
kind of vocal performance, in which the
events connected with the nativity are re-
cited by Mexicans disguised as saints,
angels, apostles and other new testament
celebrities. There is a series of tableaux,
each one representing a scene from the
vicinity of Nazareth about 1878 years ago.
One tableau is a lot of Mexicans watch-
ing their flocks by night—their own flocks,
it is to be hoped—when an angel appears
and sings, with a nasal twang: "-/o soy
pastoraThe name of this miracle play
is Los Past ores, or "the Shepherds." In
some of the other tableaux appear such
well known characters as St. Peter, with
ry red nose, and somewhat intoxicated
that distinguished Roman, Pontius Pilate
also Judas Iscariot, who kept the bank,
and other influential apostles; and Satan
also, who is snubbed unmercifully by
all the others, but more particularly by
Judas Iscariot. These seances of the Mexi-
cans are attended bv many persons desi
rous of studying the nuniorous side of the
Mexican character, and also by strangers
anxious to post themselves in biblical lore.
A collection is usually taken up among the
spectators, which is generally devoted to
spiritual purposes at the nearest saloon.
This unique show passed off very smoothly
this year; but last Christmas there was a
row, so to speak, growing out of the un-
willingness of Juaas to divide the thirty
pieces of silver equitably. St. Peter, the
prince of the apostles, made a personal
matter of it with Judas, alleging, among
other clerical indiscretions, that Judas had
served out a term of 90 days for stealing a
saddle. He said he could prove it by the
virgin Mary and by the devil, who saw him
carry the saddle to the pawnbroker shop
on the military plaza. Judas responded
with a geological specimen, raising a lump
on Peter's brow as big as a piece of soap,
and would most certainly have Offered up
Peter with a table knife had it not been
for policeman Fitzhenry, who, assisted by
St. Luke, St. Matthew and one of the
magi, escorted Judas to the cooler. The
recorder let them off easy, not caring to
tamper with sacred things.
As a means of grace, these Mexican
shows might be advantageously suffered to
fall into active neglect.
a bold thief.
Mr. Charles Shiner, of this city, being
about to leave for the Frio, attached his
horse to a post on the military plaza. The
animal was saddled, bridled and a revolver
was strapped to tue horn of the saddle.
When Mr. Shiner got ready to mount the
animal the horse was not at his post. An
obscure Mexican had been seen to mount
the animal and strike out for the setting
sun. He has not been seen or heard of
since. The only wonder is he did not take
the post along with him too. The military
plaza is near the geographical center of
the city. This was pertain ly a very bold
proceeding, and is well calculated to di:
courage men from tying their horses to
posts when they want to make purchases,
and yet if a man, merely to prevent his
horse from being stolen, rides into a store
to get a couple of fingers of nourishment
he is fined by the recorder. It would ap-
pear as if the unities were not very well
preserved.

The political situation is still in a mud-
dle. and far too complicated for an ordi-
nary intellect. The tax-payers hold an-
other meeting to-night, at which,' proba-
bly, their policy will be more fully devel-
oped. It is certainly to be hoped they will
take measures to reduce county and city
expenditures, and thus save the city from
the evils that have overwhelmed other
communities. Running into debt is like
sliding down a greased polo. Getting out
of debt is like climbing up the same pole
hand over hand.
Henry Mills, the colored lunatic who
gave the officers of the law so much
rouble on account of a whim he had that
everybody ought to be killed, turned on
the water in the county jail, and came
near drowning the inmates. If the Bui
garians want him for a king he can be
got.
In the Bacon case another warrant has
been sent over for Bacon, on the charge of
libeling Ben. Thompson. An application
for an attachment to bring Thompson over
here is the latest move. If granted, it will
rather turn the tables on the Austin gen-
tleman.
The watch which Barney Keenej^ac
cused his traveling companion. Ben
Asher. a commercial traveler, of stealing,
was found in tho bottom of the coach,
where it had dropped during the intoxi-
cated gymnastics of its owner.
Christmas day was the coldest within
the recollection of several of the oldest in
habitants. There was a sleet that paved
the streets with ice, and made it positively
dangerous for pedestrians. The polar
wave chewed people's ears, and made it-
self disagreeable generally. It was so cold
that a large able-bodied man was reported
to have been frozen to death near the Ger-
man-English school. Great suffering among
wooden Indian tobacco 6igns and police-
men.
Mr. Seffel, of ward No. 4, has at last
consented to allow his name to go hefor
the people as a candidate lor alderman '
ward No. 4. He will be supported by
Seffel voters. He has lived in San An-
tonio for twenty years, and heretofore his
life has been blameless. No reason given
for the rash act.
The death of Mrs. M. A. Mayes, widow
of W. D. Mayes, deceased, old residents
of western Texas, occurred at the Mayes
farm, on the Cibolo, on Friday last.
The leave of absence of Lieut. J. R.
Pierce, 24th infantry, has been extended
twenty-three days.
A Mexican, w:ho stole a pair of pants
from Pancoast's store, goes to meet Ham
at Huntsvilie. He got the pants and two
years.
On Monday night some sneak thief stole
from the residence of Mr. R. H. Neal a
gold watch and a coat. The watch was
worth $150. No clue has been obtained to
the raider.
The German immigration to Texas does
not reach this portion of western Texas.
There is a great mortality among the

otherwise, the health of the people is very
good.

THE FUTURE OP HOG PRODUCTS.
The Cincinnati Price Current says: In the
face of weaker markets and lower values for
the product, and a considerable further ac-
cumulation of stocks, prices of hogs have
been generally maintained at steady prices,
and are relatively above current values of the
manufactured product. The natural conclu-
sion to be drawn would be that hogs must de-
cline or product advance, but packers have
pursued an inconsistent policy to such an ex-
ent heretofore that it is difficult to calculate
upon what they may do in the future. It
must be conceded however that there is little
in the outlook of the early future to give
•romise of any material rally in prices of pro-
Juct, and there would seem to be no good rea-
son why packers should steadily pursue a
policy of paying more for hogs than thay can
realize from them.
PROSPECTS FOR WINTER WHEAT AND
HOGS.
The covering of snow which the western
and northwestern country has received is fa-
vorable for preserving the growing wheat in
»ood condition The Chicago Tribune pub-
lished recently repoits from tne winter wneat
districts, which is condensed as follows:
The fall has been unusually dry. Kansas
has felt it more than any other state. The
acreage sown in that state has been reduced,
and the growing crop has suffered for the
want of rain. A similar situation exists in
Missouri. In Nebraska the acreage has been
increased, and the crop has not grown as well
as in former years. In the states of Michigan,
Ohio and Indiana the season has been more
favorable, and we hear of no complaints, but
on the other haud the crop has grown finely
and enters the winter in good condition. The
present heavy fall of snow is most opportune,
ar.d can not but have a most beneficial
effect upon this important crop. We
enter the winter under very favorable
circumstances. All branches of farm work
far in advance of former years, and our roads
all in condition for movement of crops. We
have taken some pains to ascertain the proba-
bility of the future supply of hogs. From the
varied and extensive sources from which we
dra^such information, we think it * ery safd
to say that we shall have our heaviest runs of
hogs vet. Farmers have been holding back.
Corn bas been very cheap, the season favora-
able for fattening, and yet, with all these con-
siderations, there 1 a-i been no advan;e, So
next month we expect to see them pour into
this city as they have never done before.

The Prime of Life.
Between the ages of forty-five and sixty
a man who has properly regulated himself
may be considered in the prime of life. His
matured strength of constitution renders
him almost impervious to an attack of dis-
ease, and experience has given soundness
to his judgment. His mind is resolute,
firm and equal; all his functions are in the
highest order; he assumes mastery over
his business ; builds up a competence on
the foundation he has laid in early man-
hood, and passes through a period of life
dttended by many gratifications. Having
gone over a year or two over sixty, he ar-
rives at a stand still. But athwart this is
the viaduct called the turn of life, which,
if crossed in safety, leads to the valley of
44 old age," round which the river winds,
and then beyond, without boat or cause-
way, to effect his passage. The bridge is,
however, constructed of fragile material,
and it depends how it is trodden whether
it bend or break. Gout and apoplexy are
also in the vicinity to waylay the traveler
and thrust him from the pass; but let him
gird up his loins and provide himself with
a fitter staff, and he may trudge on in
safety and with perfect "composure. To
quit metaphor, u the turn of life " is a turn
either into a prolonged walk or into the
grave. The system and powers having
reached the utmost expansion, now begin
either to close like a flower at sunset or
break down at once. One injudicious
