IH FAR OFF MEXICO.
Graphic Description of Mexico, Her
People and Customs By a Form-
er Denison Lady.
The following letter written to a friend
in this city, by a lady who recently re-
sided here, although not intended tor
publication, is ot such an interesting na-
ture, that the Gazetteer has secured
permission to publish it.
City of Mexico, Oct. 8th, 1890.—The
second Gazetteer reached me to-day
which reminded me of my promise. I
left Denlsou at 4 a. m. on the 28th. The
cars were crowded all day with transient
passengers all dressed in Sunday clothes
which indicated they were either visiting,
or attending Sunday worship at “the vil-
lage below.” Though alone, I found
real pleasuie and interest in noticing the
varied architecture in villages and farm
houses, the broad fields ot corn and cot-
ton; in the latter, some showed the own-
er had made an exertion to finish pick-
ing the field over by Sunday, others
looked as U they were wanting to begin
after Sunday as the fields were white,
and some of the fleecy staple was failing
from the bolls, while in one, a middle
aged looking woman with five or six
youngsters were midway of the edge rows.
1 longed to stop and learn from her, her
experience in life, feeling I would there
hear the most useful sermon preached
between Denison and San Antonio that
day. I arrived in San Antonio at 4 p. m.
and had to lay over till 4 a. m. Monday
The country between San Antonio and
Laredo is a good preface to .Mexican
scenery. The houses, farms and veget 1-
tion are so different from northern Texas.
I felt exceedingly fatigued when I reach-
ed the border line of hot, dusty, Texas at
5 p. m. where we remained two hours
white the Custom House officers were in-
specting baggage, tiains etc. The heat
and dust seemed to increase here, and
the addition of unceasing jargon in an
unknown language had no tendency to
soothe. I retired early and, strange to
say, when I awoke the next morning in a
higher altitude, free from heat and dust
(just at the close of the rainy season) I
felt perfectly rested, and atter are freshing
toilet, it was difficult to realize I had
been traveling so lapidlv since Saturday.
Traveling-on the Mexican National R. R.
is far pleasanter than on Texas rough
dusty, noisy railroads. The Mexican
officials are the first it has been my fort-
une so meet that could answer a question
or speak to a subordinate without a
frown, or could close a door in a manner
not to be heard the full length of the
moving car. Their reverence tor old age
too, is a marked characteristic; their
grandmothers could not have received
greater homage than I did, though it
may have been tor want ot competition
tor attention, as only two other ladies en-
tered the car between San Antonio and
this city, and they tor short distances.
I was greatly disappointed to learn
north eastern Mexico is a bald, barren re-
gion, destitute of all vegetation except
cactus, a species of palm (bear grass or
Spanish needle,) and occasionally a f w
dwarfed shrubs; in fact everything was
dwarfed but the barren rocky mountains.
The villages were tar apart, and the
natives were a shiftless beggarly looking
people. They do nqfPfrow old looking
from age as our people, unless the old
ones died betore I came, for I could hard-
ly distinguish 12 year old children from
the grown people—the children in that
r.gion all seemed to have been bon\old.
Age makes no difference in customs of
wearing apparel, all dress alike and look
exactly alike—all below medium size, of
a dark swarthy color, long black hair and
small black eves of unusual brilliancy.
At every station passengers were be-
sieged by an army of natives selling cac-
tus fruit and Mexican dishes, and by a
horde of beggars; among them I noticed
one blind and one cripple, the others
were beggars trom choice. They chant-
ed their petitions and afflictions so per-
sistently in their own language, which
may have been heartrending to a philan-
thropic millionare with a proper educa-
tion,. but to me it was as intelligible as the
song of many Texas mosquitoes and on
account of their persistency and my ina-
bility to care tor all, I felt like treating
them as such. The men wore sandals,
without socks, white ducking breeches, a
shirt of the same, not “stuffed in,” a pe-
culiar high hat which I tailed to admire.
The women wore the same kind ot
gear, when any at a!l, a short, sleeve-
waist and a long narrow shawl or
h of cloth wrapped g acefully around
the bead and shoulders. There seemed
to be two babies to every grown person.
The houses were made of mud or rock
and about eight feet high, thatched with
cactus or a straw looking material, and,
after pattern of Noah’s Ark, each con-
tained one door and one window. Fences
were made ot rock or cactus. The occu-
pations seemed to be laising turkeys and
corn. The corn \yas planted In drills and
grew about one and a half feet high, in
some fields even less. The turkeys were
herded like sheep by men, women and
children The scenery grew monotonous
by night, vet so weire i and strange.
I went to sleep puzzled over the condi-
tion of these queer people, wondering
why they couldn’t think to go to a more
productive country,—what were the con-
dl ions or ties that bound theni to such
dire poverty. I concluded that my disap-
pointment had caused my imagination to
magnify their apparent destitution and
eagerly awaited twilight that I might no-
tice with an unbiased eye, when behold!
instead of them and their loveless count-
ry, I found myself surrounded bv gigan-
tic trees, flowers—Oh! such heavenly
flowers ot every color and size every-
where, and far, far below us were green
grassy valleys, bioad fields of grain, some
ready tor harvest, others green and not
yet matured, while in others men were
plowing in the old Puritan style, with
oxen hitched to wooden plows or sticks,
making preparation for another crop.
Villages were nearer together; houses
were higher, larger and more substantial,
built ot stone. Fences were made of
luxuriant pulque and cactus plants,
forming impenetrable growing walls
from three to fifteen feet high. Farms
seemed near us everyw ere; some were,
in others the natives and oxen looked
like moving toys, while near the road-
side grew such luxuriant vegetation, such
flowers ot indescribable odor and brill-
iancy! Oh! I hope never to forget the
paradise (my idea of real paradise) that
greeted my view that morning while
wandering around through and some-
times over mountains, in such plain vtew
of beautiful mountain streams playing,
dazzling in the 6un light, and canons
that seemed tat hornless. I felt as it I
was high enough without a wish to as-
cend higher even tor the reward of a
pair of wings Had I realized my wish I
would have applied brakes to my lonely
career, had those dearest to me join me
and spend the afternoon of my life right
there in view of the grandest picture na-
ture ever presented to me. My brother
joined me on the route which enabled
me to terminate a long Journey very
pleasantly. It Is impossible for me to de-
scribe this city as it appears to me, it is
so different trom any I ever saw or heard
of. Of course you know the population,
area, location etc. The streets are all
alike, narrow, paved with stone and as
far as I have been able to learn, every
one terminates at the foot of a high
mountain. Houses are from one to tour
storiesfhigh, allbuilt upon Mexican |style,
ot stone,—all joined together, covering
a block, with a court in the center—no
yards, front or side porches. Stairs and
court galleries have handsome iron rail-
ings, with fixed flower pots at regular in-
tervals containing beautiful and many
curious plants of enormous size. On our
gallery there are tuschias, heliotropes and
echveras from one to tour feet high cov-
ered with flowers. The tops of the houses
are flat, with iron railings; growing
.^plants are artistically arranged upon
‘benches, making heavenly flower gardens
in mid air. We can walk over an entire
block on tops ot our neighbors’ houses,
viewing in the distance Pocatapetle and
another snowcapped mountain, while on
the streets below ua we can hear natives
yelling the ns
hot Mexican dishes for sale. These
blocks or flats of houses are the homes of
many families. My brother's family
occupy seven ot the twenty-tour room's
in the second story ot one; all beauti-
fully furnished, very large, well ventila-
ted, sunny,—a model of convenience,
though unique in many respects. The
floors are all of red brick, ceilings fifteen
feet high, doors and windows twelve by
five feet wide.|We have neither chimney
nor flues; no curling smoke from the
house tops in this city; each suite of
rooms is provided with a kind of brick
oven for cooking which is the 01 ly heat-
ing apparatus used. The temperature av-
erages 60 deg. during the day, and the
nights are just cool enough to require a
light blanket and spread lor comfort’s
sake. Spring or autumn clothing can be
worn trom Jan. to Dec. Just think how
delightful to an indolent woman not to
have old dresses to make over to suit the
change ot fashions between seasons.
The better class of natives here dress
elegantly in American or Parisian styles.
The only noticable characteristics are
abominable, high hats (1 1-2 feet high)
worn by the men, and the women visit,
ride, and shop bare headed. I never saw-
more or finer horses and vehicles on the
streets from early morning till night.
Street cars on every street appear num-
berless, and are graded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
class. Unlike your system they travel in
groups from three to five, never see one
car traveling alone. The streets are quiet
and orderly,I have not seen a run away
or any other excitement. The people
mote in a business like manner, quiet
gait,never seem to hurry save at funerals,
which I am told seldom occur. 1 wit-
nessed one—it consisted of a neat little
coffin placed upon a bank ot flowers in a
street car, with no attendant but the dri-
ver who was whipping and driving as
rapidly as if going to a picnic. It there
were any mourners in the cars following
it their faces did not advertise them as
such. The city boasts of good water
works, sewerage, electric lights and is a
model of cleanliness. The streets are
swept and sprinkled daily by men.
They use inferior brooms and sprinkle
the streets from ordinary water pails or
jugs. Labor is remarkably cheap. Kate
has a good cook and an excellent nurse
which she pays 16 2-3 cents per day.
They are far more attentive and obedi-
ent than in Texas. The market it per-
fect, we can secure any fruit or vegeta-
ble from the temperate or tropical region
that our tastes call tor at small prices.
To-day our family of seven had for
dinner, green corn, English peas, toma-
toes, rice, pork chops, delighituly fried
plantains, bananas, oranges, and straw
berries in plentiful quantities at a cost of
82 cents., not including honey, bread and
cakes, butter and coffee of which a few
days supply is kept. Mexican house
keepers never provide but one meal
ahead. No fruits, vegetables, nor meats
are kept over from one meal to another.
Mexico City is certainly a wonderful
city—equal to the realization of a fairy
story. It is certainly a good place to
rest in—a fine field for amusement seek-
ers, students, artists and I believe an ex-
cellent place to accumulate if you under-
stand the Spanish language.
I might tell you more but as Mexicans
never incur fatigue and I wish to become
an adherent to their better customs I
will tell you of my walks, drives, and
visits later if you would like to hear them.

COUNTY FINANUE8.
The Board of County Commis-
sioners of Grayson county make
public the following figures con-
cerning county finances:
From December ist, 18S9, to Oct.
1 st, A. D. 1890, ten months, the con-
vict gang have graded forty-two
miles of road, and put in new cul-
verts and small bridges. The cost
during that time amounts to
$3,018.10. On Nov. ^st, A. D.
1SS8, the general fund of the county
was as follows: Cash in the treas-
ury $1,3^0.12; against this there
was scrip not paid, $1,562.65; and
claims ^on the docket, $1,286.60;
this left a shortage of $1,568.15:
The road tund was indebted $18,-
610, making a total deficit in the
two funds of $20,178.15. This has
all been paid off, and we have, on
the ist day of October, A. D. iSqo,
cash in the treasury to the credit ot
the general fund $5,621.69, and to
the credit of the road fund $9,559.
The collection between now and the
end of the year will amount to about
$3,000 for the road fund and on the
general fund about $3,000. This
will give an available fund of $12,
559 to the road tund and $8,621.69 in
the general fund. In the two years
we have had 30 bridges built of
wood and five iron bridges now com-
pleted and five others under contract
which ought to have been com-
pleted. The balance on these
bridges when completed will be
$10,654.
We have paid in two years on the
jail bond debt $9,432.40 interest and

country,That newspaper reporters,
like gray mules,rarely, if ever die,
but when one dies as .Root did, and
makes himself the central fact ot
an item he would have delighted
to write up for his paper and mor-
alize upon in the most approved
forms of reportorial rhetoric, not on-
ly is the popular notion concerning
the indestructability of the reporter
rudely overthrown, but a temper-
ance lesson, more eloquent than any
Francis Murphy could deliver, is
given to the world. That news-
paper reporters drink more or ltss,
under certain circumstances favora-
ble to that end, is a fact general y
suspected by the world at large, but
that any one of them would ever go
the length of stretching his obfusti-
cated anatomy upon a railroad track
and defying, as it werj, the rolling
stock of an entire system, is a fact
startling enough to test the credulity
of all newspaper readers, and only
to be believed upon the strongest
testimony. There is however no
doubt about the main facts in the
Missouri case referred to, and too
much cannot be claimed for its ef-
fectiveness as a temperance argu-
ment ; for when reporters go down
before whisky and railroad locomo-
tives at the same time, it is proof of
a power in the former equal to the
conquest of all tribes and species.
Reporters are (requently and trium-
phantly cited by observing saloon
keepers, as conclusive evidence of
the durability of human nature in spite
of the boasted ravages of whiskey,
and are offered in rebuttal by the
great liquor interests of the count! y
to overthrow the sweeping asser-
tion of the prohibition people that
all, the strongest as well as the
the weakest, yield to the insidious
approaches of the demon drink;
and it is for this reason that the
Boonville case carries such weight
as a temperance argument, and can
be used so eftuctively in future pro-
hibition contests. A newspaper
reporter dead at all, is something to
excite general surprise, but killed
by whisky, the surprise deepens to a
shock, and when in addition to al 1
this it undoubtedly appears that he
mistook a railroad track for the ex-
change table in the office, and was
dismembered in consequence, the
most potent of the pro-whisky argu-
ments has been overwhelmingly re-
futed and driven abashed from the
field. Prohibitionists should make
a note of this case, and ring it in in
all future discussions as triumphant
disproval of the ancient and time
honored proposition that there is
a limit to the destructive work of
whiskey, and that limit is reached
when it breaks upon the copper
lined reef of the reportorial stomach.

-A SPECIAL FEATURE-
The Supreme Court of North
Carolina, has given a pointer to the
Supreme Court of Texas, on a
question of law, which will soon be
before the latter court for adjudi-
cation. A $10,000 damage suit
was brought by J. T. Young of
Craven county N. C. against the
Western Union telegraph company.
Last year Young’s wife was taken
ill in Greenville, N. C., and tele-
graphed her husband to come on.
He did not get the message until
six days later, and in the meantime
Mrs. Young had died and had been
buried. Young obtained damages
in the Superior Court, but the West-
ern Union took the matter to the
Supreme Court, which sustained the
findings ot the lower court.
A considerable portion of the
sewer is now completed, and a good
many of our citizens havp piped
their houses and are anxious to con-
nect with it. Why can’t the city
have this portion of the sewer ex-
amined and reported upon by the
engineer, and if constructed in ac-
cordance with the requirements of
the contract, accept ot the same and
allow connections to be mfcde? It
does not seem exactly fair to un-
necessarily delay this matter and
thus seriously inconvenience such ot
our citizens who have expended
several hundred dollars to avail
themselves ot the advantage of the
sewers. The only objection we
have heard is that the flush tanks
are not in place. This is, no doubt,
an objection to connecting privy
vaults with the sewer, but there can
be no harm, apparently, in using
the sewer for carrying off waste
water, which, in many instances, is
essential owing to the fact that the
buildings are so situated as to afford
no drainage whatever. The Gaz-
etteer would suggest to the City
Council that thev take immediate
steps to carry out this suggestion
if practicable.
Drop in and pass a few minutes while
waiting for the train.
