Newspaper Page TextA Visit To Mexico. The Pan American Medical Congress met in the city of Mexico on the 16th ol Nov. last, and as the head of our house was a delegate to the game, we took ad vantage of the opportunity thus present ing itae'.f, to visit the ancient city of the Monctazutnaa. We left onr Arixona home on the 10th inst., and after stopping over at El Paso one day, we took the train at four o'clock P. M. the 11th, for Mexico. In ten mi antes we reached Cindad Juarez, where our baggage was to be in spected ; this procedure was quite inter esting to us, never having been out of the U. S. before, and onr train being an excursion train, was of course filled with tourists; every one of which was ' anxiouB to have his trunks examined first,, as the train only stops one hour there, and no one wanted their baggage left behind, or cared to lay over; so it was hustle, bustle, and hurry to see who would be first. Finally we heard that familiar call "all aboard," and soon we were speeding away in the land of Man ana (tomorrow, a very favorite expres sion of the Mexican). We saw but little that evening, as night was upon na. Quite early in the evening we retired, as we had to either stand up, sit on valises or crowd some gentleman out of his seat,- which of course he wouldn't appreciate. The best we could get for sleeping apartments was an upper berth ; and as we climbed the ladder, we could not but recall the words of the poet "we mount the ladder, by which we rise," etc. We found it somewhat warm and u a com fort- able np there, and were glad when gray began to streak the horizon, so we could arise to see na'ure once more. What greeted oar eyes was a barren waste of country, with here and there a railroad station, which consisted of one rude bouse; and peeping trom the doors and windows could be seen any number of little black faces, all wanting a look at the Ferro Carii (iron wagon) aad the gringoes. We had little to divert onr minds that dav excentine when we came to the eat ing stations ; as soon as the cars would i stop, every ona would start on the ran, to get a seat at the table. Once the writer failed to get to the table until every Feat was taken, the result of which was, we had no dinner, which of course was not agreeable. The next morning we awoke on a beautiful valley; everything perfectly charming. Nature seemed to be oat doing herself. It seemed as ft we had sud denly emerged into spring, every thing baicg dressed in a coat of green. All day long we traveled through a very verdant country. We passed through cotton fields where they were picking the cot ton and baling it, and throngh great corn fields where they were clearing off the ground, it being past the harvest time. Thousands of acres are owned by one individual, who employs the natives to do his work. These are called Hacien- dos All the employes (Peons, they are . called) live together, making a little town of their own. Their houses are made of dirt, sticks, corn stalks, cactus, anything in fact that they can get to stick together, and these places are their homes. V e saw them working in the fields, men, women and children together, half naked, tail starved looking, many of the women carrying children on their backs They get little or nothing for their work, imply enough on which to eke out an existence. We could but think of the African slaves. Many of them carry loads on their backs that seemed larger than them' selves ; beasts of burden they seemed. Women carrying bundles on their heads that looked large enough for a loal for a strong man, with a child tied to the back, Indian fashion, and one hold of each hand. We saw them irrigating, which was done by means of a eweep used in a well; the bucket is drawn np and emptied into an irrigating ditch; three men at one well take turns at the work. This is a cheap way of irrigating, as the Peons only get from 10 to 50 cents a day for their wort. This is Mexican money of coarse which is just equal in value to one half what oar money is "worth. At every station the little Mexican children would come running to the train, holding out their open hands and crying "Una Centavo, Una Centavo," (one cent) and upon receiving it their little, eyes would sparkle, and the ans wer would come, "Gracious Senora,'1 (thank yon lady). When anything nag thrown to them it was great fan to1 watch them scramble; the one who was fortunate enough to get it, was the envy of all the rest. All along the way were large towns with from 20,000 o 100.0C0 population, and many of them as picturesque places as oije would wish to see. Every town, no matter how small, has a church of exquieit beauty, and many of them have more tharr one. The Catholic religion is well planted throughout the Repub lic. Any town of any siza will be com pletely specked with church domes which are very beautiful, and we were told tuat tbe inside of them is dazzling to the eyes. Ac Juanajato trie natives came run ning with baskets of strawberries to sell, yea, n-al ripe, red strawberries, an lucious as we ever ate. We were told they are at tiie train with theui every day in the year. ' AtQieretero are situated the opal mines, where they came with opals to sell.

These gardens are stationary now but they used to be floating. The natives made them by weaving willows and reeds together until they got a piece as large as they wished, put it on the water, then put earth upon it and plant ed their garden. When their vegetables were ready for use, they would float the garden down the canal to the city ; the whole country where the gardens are Is a lake. The gardens have been made fast, but there are little canals separat ing them. They still raise gardens there but they gather it and put their veget ables into a boat and take them to mar ket thai way. They seem to be very "PPy.

Tbe Paseo is the fashionable drive of the city, made at Maximilliana order. It leads to the Castle of Cbapultepec, summer residence of the president. Tbe drive is a boot 2ls miles long, and is very wide, especially for Mexico, as the streets are all very narrow . At the en trance of tbe Paseo is a large bronze statute ot fjnaries 4tu on a borse, it is said to be tbe largest single moulding on the continent, weighing S3 tons. Either side of tbe drive is lined with statu es of noted men. In its centre is a large statue of Columbus and one ot Cnanhtemoc, Monctezumas friend. The band plays and entertains people as tbey drive back and fortb. Hundreds of carriages drive every evening. Placed on either side are seats for those who wish to sit and look on. At the recommendation of President Diaz, congress appropriated 10,000 for the entertainment of delegates and their wives. So we were entertained right loyally. Monday evening we were en tertained at the national theatre, it hav ing the largest capacity of any building in tbe city. This was in reality the opening session of the congress, and was presided over by tbe president ot the Republic, Everybody was oat, the gal leries were let to people who came to look on, tbe parquet being reserved for tho delegates and their ladies. Tuesday evening the ladies were tendered a recep tion by Mrs. Comache, wife of tbe may or, who is an English lady. Everything was grandeur i tee if. Wednesday all were received at tbe Municipal Palace where the city author ities have transacted their business for hundreds of years. The decorations were simply elegsnt, the supper a bount iful repast with wine flowing every where like rivers of water, (of this latter however we did not partake, being tem perance people.) This reception ended with a grand display of fireworks on tbe plaza in front, where thousands of people were gath ered to witness them. The whole square and tbe streets as far as one could see were one seething mass of humanity. The display of fireworks was grand in the extreme, closing with tbe words beautifully emblazoned with fire, ''Wel come ye workmen of Science." The following afternoon we were en tertained at the castle of Cbapultepec by President and Mrs. Diaz. The castle is about two and and a half milts from tbe city, at tbe end of the Paseo. Carriages were sent to carry as to the eaBtle where we were greeted by several bands, who played many of onr nation al airs. We were conducted upstairs, where we were presented ta bis Majesty and lady, after which tbe bouse and grounds were ours. Tbe castle is an old fort, which the Americans took the time of oar war with Mexico. It is bnilt on a high bluff, a moet magnificent spot, picturesque and commanding a lovely view of tbe whole surrounding country. The Mexican Cadets, more ambitions than wise, ran down the bluff right o j to tbe brave boys in blue, who at once bayoneted them and scaled the fort to victory. The West Point of Mexico is situated here also. On Friday we were taken on an excur sion to the city and valley drainage works which consists of a large canal carrying the water from the city, forty odd miles, thence it is carried by tunnel nine miles, (second largest tunnel ia the world,) thence by canal to tbe river. We went to tbe farther end of the tunnel. The last named canal is walled with stone and was built many years ago, when it was only necessary to drain some 50 miles of 'he city, but of late years ibe water backed ir.to the city, making it necessary to extend the canal to the city. After spending an hour viewing the sights at this place, we took the train for our return, after coming some 15 or 2i miles, we were switched off the main railroad into a typical Indian city of some 50,000 inhabitants, where we were received by tbe mayor and other city officials, as well as the populace of the city. On alighting we were shown the waj to a large building, at the entianca of which was aa Indian basil, who were making music with all their might which we enjoyed hugely, although we could not distinguish whether it was Yankee Doodle or Home Sweet Home, but they couldn't expect us to com pre .bend it, for they were playing tn Jargon. What greeted our eyes on entering the building, were tables fairly groaning with roast turkey and other correspond ing good things, which were as pleasing to tbe taste as well as to tbe eyes. After doing ample justice to this boun tiful repast, amid the sound of fife and drum we took our departure for tbe city reaching there after nightfall. Tbe following morning we took the train at seven o'clock for Ran Jnan de Senator Dnfur baa introduced a local option bill that will require a vote taken on every petition for a license. dian arrow beads were made, bat there is not much to be picked np now as tourists have pretty nearly gathered them all np. They wsre once covered with little idols. Upon leaving tbe pyramids we were driven to the city of San Joan TiotI Juacan where a boantifui repast awaited us, spread amidst tbe trees under a canopy of lovely white moss peculiarly to Mexico, woven from tree to tree. As we ate, tbe Indians all gath ered around and peeped throngh the fence at na. Occasionally we threw them Something to see them scramble for it - They bad tbe town all decorated in onr honor, with bedspreads, ic cur tains, etc., strung across the streets under which we bad to pace and la: curtains on the ouuiae of the windows decorated with gorgeous colored tissue ! paper.

Thus ended our entertainment by the committee. On Sabbath we afm-led tbe Union Evangelical church, wbeiethey have a very nice little Sabbath School and con- gregation; this is composed of Ameri cans, we were to'd tbe rresbyteriaae have a mission and a etninary for girls. The Methodists and Bapiista each have a mission also, and are daing good work. Wkile there we visited tbe Cathedral an immense structure, bnilt on tbe very site of the old Aztec temple which Cort-x destroyed Some of the etones of the old temple are still lying there- The cost of this Cathedral ia estimated at 12,000,000. tA small portion of it we were told, is what Cortez bnilt. The Cathedral is very grand inside; ihe fioiebinga are bronze, gilt and brats. It bas 14 ctapels and 6 altars. We visited tne acred ciy, Guadalupe, about three miles from tbe City of Mex ico. At the toot of the bill is a beauti ful Cathedral ; tbe railicg around, the altar is solid silver, weighing 28 tons. At the top of tbe bill is a small chapel which tbey consider very hoiy. It used to be a fort. 11 ere the treaty of peace between tbe U S and Mexico was signed. There is a tradition connected with tbis place which goes some thing lite tbis: Tbe Virgin Guadalupe (Mary) appeared to an Indian here some three hundred years ago. Upon bis telling the -peoplejof tbe appearance, be was booted at- He returned and told the Virgin, who was so very angry because the people did not believe, stamped ber foot to the ground, and immediately there gushed forth a spring of mineral water; of this people drink and are heal ed. On what is known as Guadalupe day, the 12th ofDec.,rhey crawl out there on their bands and knees to drink of the water; if they are not cared tbey are content because tbey think it is not the Virgins will. They consider this spring very holy and no gentleman is al lowed to step inside the spring house with his bat on. We tasted the water. It tastes exactly like tbe water at Soda ville. Ontbis bill is a large stone sail wbich was erected in honor of Guadalupe for tbe safe return of a vessel to VC beKeved fo have been lost in a storm. On tbe bill also is a cemetery where tbe noted dead are buried; such as Santa Ana, etc., a very lovely spot. On our return to tbe city we visited the art gallery where we saw some mas ter pieces of art, some of which are to be sent to Paris to tbe World's Exposition. At the museum we saw countless numbers of Indian antiquities, idols.etc. We taw the Sacrificial etone on wbich 60,000 victims are said to have been sacrificed. Tie 'manner of sacrificing was to bind them hand and foot on tbis stone and cut out the heart. We also saw the Aztec calendar stone, an im mense stone with figures carved on it; by this the Aztec computed time. Maximilliana grand chariot ia one of the curiosities in tbe museum. It is a magnificent affair, painted red and mounted with gold, and lined with silk. His elegant silver service is also tbere, which was presented to him by theDnke of Austria. Beside the magnificent coach o Max imillian is the dilapidated old carriage of Juarez, in which be rode to Paso del Norte, tbe time they gained their inde pendence. We eaw there also a plan of the city in wood, showing where Cortez entered the city, and where be passed oat on the other side. The plan of tbe city is ex. aetly the same now as it was then and many of the buildings are tbe same. We saw the old Cyprus tree just oat side the city under which Cortez is laid to have sat and wept when he was de- Boies Penrose, tbe new U. S.
