' A Fort Mcllao correspondent of The
New York Times writes: Wo arc nil
sick at licart over tlio recent upheaval
of civilization in our territorial midst,
nnd sigh foi the good old days not ten
years Jlown when no red nosed locomo
tive dclilcd our landscape, and thcro
was but ono feeble-minded telegraph
wire, and that only ran between Pueblo
nnd Santa Fe, and was out of order ten
months in the yenr, and when no rudo
tuitions of the law interfered with our
frolicsome cowboys when they got out
their revolvers and red paint anu start
ed in to whoop things up and enliven
the cemetery business and drivo away
dull caro and make a night of it. Ah!
tlio times liavo changed indeed, and
effete progress has stolen upon us like a
a chitich in the night nnd taken away
our jewel customs that wc had guarded
for centuries.
The newspapers horo nro no longer
what they were. Ten years ago it was
beautiful to sco tlio outspoken way in
which a New Mexican editor would
handle his esteemed contemporary. To
bo suro the editors wcro spasmodic, for
I lie esteemed contemporary, would gen
erally como over and clean out tlio of
fice, and then the delay incident to tlio
inquest and funeral and getting a new
editor usually deferred the next issue,
nnd gavo the esteemed contemporary a
chance to relievo his feolings in a burst
of necessarily - unanswerable obituary.
The result was Hint most of our journals
involuntarily changed inanngoinent
nbont oneo a month, and promotion was
rapid in Jitornry circles, boniotimes an
editor would resort to tho low artilice
of seeing the paper safely out to press
and then skipping to Texas until tlio
trouble blew over, but as tho olllco
boy had to bo drawn upon for editorials
meaiitimo, and tlio editor liiinsolt was
generally ambushed on Ins way back,
tho scheme was not a perfect success.
Another drawback was that, as sub
scribers and advertisers settled their ac
counts in strings of red popper, onions,
cT2t. and other norishablo property,
the financial interests of tho journal de
manded moro prompt attention tlinn
could bo irivon by a man whoso main
obiert in lifo was to rot out ot lown.
Besides, as nine-tenhs of the population
couldn't read, and the rest didn t want
to, tlio circulation was in tlio main lim
ited to tlio exchange list and to a few
coroners who found it to their interest
to watch tho playfulness of tho press,
In tlioso days tlio life of a newspaper
was brief, but it was full of goro and
glory. Tho rival presses would begin
running at noon Saturday, and at 1
o'clock precisely thcro would bo an im
promptu massacre on tho plaza, and
then tho editor, whoso trigger was out
of order went homo on a shutter and
his typo and hand press went to tho
Kliorill, whilo tlio other's circulation
would inereaso until it mounted up to a
hundred, may be, and everything would
bo quiet in news circles until tho next
paper. Now nil that is changed. To
bo sure, one editor will sit down in cold
blood and inquire why his contenipani
ry, who is a well-known wall-eyed thief
Hid an intoxicated liar, has been bribed
with 2 into attacking tho public enter
prise which developed tho new horse
troujrh at tlio cross-roads, or something
of that sort, and his rival will Miniiltan
eously publish a playful allusion to tlio
fact that Ids brother editor's father was
hanged for stealing a Kansas mule, and
that his mother's career terminated in
the penitentiary, but as a rule no moro
sanguinary results follow than the bi
ting oil' of an car or tho loss of an oyo by
tho rough-and-tuiiiblt) process known as
"gouging" next time tho two meet in
tho iashlonnblo saloon. Tho conso
quenco is naturally a great depreciation
of journalism in public esteem and a
deplorable Kcnroity of freo lights in
which the community at largo can tako
much interest.
Beside this crying evil, tho greaser
has been compelled to occupy a back
eut. There was a day when tho haughty
descendant of the iSfontozuinaH ruled
this blossoming land, rolled his cigar
ettes in ono time and two motions, and
lay dozing in tho sun without fear of the
encroachment of his fell enemies soap,
spelling-books and work. Ills wants
wore primitive, and his habits patriarch
til. His ancestors had built Ills adobe
house, and the only requirements of tho
kitchen were a few strings of red pep
per, somo onions, a conplo of bags of
Deans, several dozen dogs, nnd a cotton
shirt- A thoughtful l'rovldonco "placed
within his reach opportunities for steal
ing tobacco, and tlio desires of his soul
boared no further. In tho remote fast
nesses of the territory tho complexion
of tho greaser was that of tarnished
copper, but In the neighborhood of
long established military posts the pre
vailing hue was much lighter. Ills only
source of wealth was tlio cattle trade,
which ho conducted on tho simple but
KclentilloNow Mexican principle of find
ing n herd that wasn t too carefully
watched and taking his pick from it,
boniotlmcs, of course, the owner of tlio
stock remonstrated with a six-shooter,
or a vigilance committee would take up
tho trail and give a necktie party in Ills
honor, but there are risks in all lines of
business. Oneo ho had acquired tlio
nucleus of a herd all a greaser had to
do was to swap off a laino heifer for a
loaded shotgun ami lie in the sand and
watch tho nucleus Inereaso. This
method of cattle raising obviated tho
disagroeablo necessity of bringing dol
lars and cents into a transaction, and
gavo a tone to cominorco that is un
known in tho north. Thus equipped
with property, tv greaser's life was
mapped out completely, and having
married tho lady of his choice ho had
nothing with which to kill time but
await tlio Inevitable day of his return o
dust and bequeath his cotton shirt and
cattle to tho little greasers.

pepper tlio crcascr's lifo would bo a
burden to him. The pods ho uses nre
long as your hand nnd hotter thnn a
blast furnace, anil ono of them taken
inwardly will smelt all tho Christianity
out ot a white man in threo minutes.
The onions are lariro as a soup-plate,
nnd have the happy knack of giving
their consumer a breath like a uuzzaru.
Of the blue beans 1 will simply say noth
mg. Now, when a native hives away
dailv three lanro luxurious meals of
of theso edibles, and never hears a ser
mon, I ask you us a fair-minded man if
you can expect him to bo sensitivo on
delicate questions of etiquette and pro-
prictvr Add to this load o Jocal pro
visions a quart or two of mescal, a local
liquor which will cat its way through
boiler iron in four seconds, and fiiniro
on tho moral result of fermentation. If
this doesn't onito solve the problem,
consider tho effect of a temperature of
108 degrees in tlio shade, and of a soil
which is at its best when breeding
tarantulas, red ants, and anallcctionato
domestic insect of nocturnal habit and
great rapacity.
The crrcaser is slowly but surely pass
ing away. The railroads and telegraph
wires have interfered with his methods
in cattle trade, and cruel and designing
men havo introduced soap and education
to complete his ruin. Besides theso
slow but malignant poisons, ho has
been brousrht face to faco with a now
and hitherto unknown horror work
and his constitution refuses to bear tho
strain. Try to educate a Now Moxiean
and you havo his inmost naturo in re
bellion; inllict soap upon him and you
trample on his most sacred feelings;
compel him to work and you kill him.
From where frown the irray walls of
tho Haton Fass to where tho Organ
mountains scowl upon Texas tlio greaser
lias jealously guarded his lgnoranco and
dirt, and dreamed his dreams in tho sun
in tho intervals of ilca-catchiiig and red
peppers, and lived and died as n con
servative and right-minded Now Mexi
can should. Hut now his vitals nro un
dermined by spelling-books thrust upon
him by merciless law-makers who havo
wrested tho territory from Vim; tho
beautiful and patriarchal simplicity of
his methods for acquiring property has
been shattered, and tho only altcrnativo
of work or starvation is that his priva
tion will some day frenzy him, anu in a
moment of rash delirium ho will wash
himself and die.
Hair nnd Character.
"It is a fact," said tlio barber, "that
abetter idea of character is oftentimes
expressed by tlio beard than by tho
countenance. The art of reading char
acter by tho board is taught as a scienco
in Paris under tho naino of philogra
phy,' and I understand a book is short
ly to bo published in which tho princi
ples of this scienco will bo given in
detail. Did you ever notico that people
having a very violent temper havo al
ways closo-growing hair? Tt's a fact
that every man having close-growing
hair is tlio owner of a decidedly bad
temper. It is easy enough for mo to
note at a glance how a mail's hair
grows. Then I know how to handle
him. Men of strong temper are gener
ally vigorous, but at the same time
tlioy aro not always lixed in their opin
ions. Now tlio man with coarse hair is
rooted to his prejudices. Coarse hair
denotes obstinacy. It is not good busi
ness policy to oppose a man whoso hair
is coarse. The eccentric man has al
ways line hair, and you never yet saw
a man of erratic tendencies who at tho
same time iiad a sound mind t hat was
not rolined in ills tastes. Fine hair in
dicates refinement. You mav havo no
ticed that men engaged in intellectual
or especially in test hollo pursuits, where
delicacy is required, have invariably
fine, luxuriant hair and beard. The
same men, is a class, particularly
painters, aro always remarkable for
their personal peculiarities. Tho bril
liant, sprightly fellow, who, by tho
way. is almost always superficial, has
generally a curly beard. If not, his
hair is curlv. It is easy to bring a
smile to tho faco of a man whoso hair
is curly. Ho laughs when colder na
turo sees nothing to laugh at. Hut that's
because his m!nd is buoyant and not
deep enough to penetrate to the bottom
of things. There is a good deal of dif
ference between coarse hair and hair
that is harsh, though it requires an ex
pert to distinguish it. For example, a
man's moustache may bo as lino as silk
and yet cannot bo trained into a grace
ful curl. That's because tho hair is
mrsli. Now yeople whoso hair Is harsh
havo amiable but cold natures. They
aro always ready to listen, but it is dill'i
cult to arouse their feolings. hi men
of this disposition tho hair on their
Heads is generally, in laet almost al
ways, of a tdiudo darker than their
beards. When the beard is full, cover
ing tho entire face, the color varies
from a dark shade near tlio roots to a
red which colors tho ends of the hair.
Theso men havo very rarely a good
memory. They forget easily and often
leave a cane or an overcoat behind them
lu a barber's shop. They are great pro
erastlnators ami are bad at keeping ap
pointments. Think over your acquaint
ances and see if tlio man who is habitu
ally slow lias not a moustache or board
of lighter shade than his hair. It's al
ways the case, these aro the men who

During a trial, in which it was nec

as to the value and quality of diamonds
a certain pawnbroker took tho stand.
"Well sir," asked tho attorney, do

"Yes, when 1 can," was tho reply.

LOUISIANA CREOLES.
The Peculiarities and Habits of
This Very Much Mixed
Bace of People.
A Colony of Which Comparatively Little
Is Known by the Outside World.
Relics of lly-Gono DayB.
A New Orleans correspondent of The
Cleveland Plain Dealer writes: Mr.
Cable, in tho rolo of novelist, has
Urought to tho notico of tlio reading
world an old, and yet seemingly r. new,
certainly a distinctive, American people.
Ho has portrayed something of tho life
and characteristics of the Louisiana
Creoles. A Charles Gazarrc, indeed,
Louisiana's veteran historian, himself a
Creole, descendant from tho proudest
Spanisli stock, had traversed niuch of
tho samo realm. His the unquestioned
authority, tho well-nigh boundless
knowlcdgo of fact, tho scholarly learn
ing, tho truly graphic delineation, the
standard par excellence, as tho writer,
historical or genealogical, of Louisiana,
her original races and peoples.
The subject has as many and varied
hues as has the chameleon. Louisiana
may bo classed as at oneo both foreign
and American. A Spanisli and French
colony by turns, there remains the seem
ing indelible impressions of each. With
each occupation thcro conies its dis
tinctive colonists. The younger sons of
the proudest of tlio proud old Spanisli
dons, their cavaliers and retainers; such
followers as could bo got in train. The
like scions of tlio no less proud noblesse
of La Hello France, their liko cavalcade
and following. Tlio bluest of to bluo
blood, tho soldiers of fortune, tlio daring,
adventurous spirits of botli Spain and
France; a rank and file of tho lower
classes of all tlio various Latin national
ities and tongues of the Europe of three
centuries ago.
They brought to their now homes
their national traits and peculiarities,
their social grades and distinctive castes.
Their wives came to them in kind, the
tow of the patrician stock, the many of
tho varying degrees, as sought or ob
tainable, ihoso making up tho aver-
ago rank and iilo at best aro not over
particular. Thcro was hero a wretched
dearth of material. They made requisi
tion upon tlio copper-tinted maidens of
tlio surrounding tribes. They took but
too kindly to their kinky-headed Afri
can servants, a hero wcro marriages
and intermarriages, a crossing and re-
crossing of tho various nationalities and
tongues generation after generation.
They grew up a wonderfully mixed
conglomeration of races, a sort of gen
eral and indiscribablo compound. Then
camo tho distinctive race of blacks, for
eign in language, in lnannors, and cus
toms everything but color. Thov be-
caino divided and subdivided into castes
and grades. Tho lino of color tho be
ginning or ending was for tho good
Lord alono to determine.
There wcro preserved, withal, the su
perior classes descendants of the good
old stock, sprigs of the parent tree, true
daughters in regular lino of the proud
old patrician families. Then followed
in gradation, tlio numerous grades and
castes, the indeseribalo mixtures. I ho
French tho dominant race, the domi
nant language permeated tho whole.
Through tho whole there ran much of
tho same general features and charac
teristics. The whole, finally, mado up
the soveral classes, grades, and castes
of tho Louisina Creoles. Mr. Cable, in
his beautiful illustrations, may possibly,
as ono horo gets it, not to havo boon
particularly clioico in his selections.
Tlio Creoles, then, aro at once both for-
oign and American, lhey aro still
largely foreign in language, still more
so in manners, customs, and traditions.

themselves. They aro sons and daugh
ters of Louisiana, view tho stato much
as a lieritago of their own, havo little
in common with those not to the man
ner born, aro by no means partial to
those of foreign birth. They havo giv
en to Louisiana, and New Orleans in
particular, something of tho impress of
a foreign principality, of tho old time
Paris in miniature a shadow of Homo
and Naples in tlio back-ground. Tlio
visitor to-day has but to soo tlio old
Latin quarters of tho city to verify tho
ncturo.
Tho orooles givo to Now Orleans
much of its most charming and polished
Booiety; its fetes, carnivals, and far
famed winter gayeties.
They must bo scon and known to bo
properly understood. Hut a few years
since and comparatively few had much
knowledge ot Lnglish. ith a very
argo proportion to-day, even, but little
of it is heard among themselves, Tho
most of this little, again, is with tho
young folks. Tho latter talk it fluently
enough, though that foreign accent is
gonerally discernible. With tho older
ones, moro particularly in "Froncli
towu," that portion below Canal street,
it is still well-nigh unknown. Thoy
may perhaps understand it after a fash
ion. They rarely alVeot to talk it. Thoy
prefer, generally, that tho young folks
should act as interpreters. Tho lattor
here, again, aro by no moans confined
to Fretich nnd F.nglish. Perhaps no
where else is there to bo heard such a
diversity of languages. Ono horo in a
French, or rather creole.boardlng-houso,
for instanco, may not infrequently hear,
at the tablo, tho daughtors of tho land
lady, or "madanie," carrying on a con
versation n French, English, Spanish,
nnd Italian with tlioso of tho different
nationalities at the samo time. Tho
thing is so common as hardly to bo
classed in tho lino of accomplishments.
Theso croolo girls again aro In every
way peculiar unto themselves. Many
of them nre decided beauties, nearly all
are charming in manner, Tho stylo of
beauty, tho outfit of figure, the dressing
of tho hair, tho carriage, tho gait, the
general appearance, each and all aro
eculiar. Once seen and they nro not
to bo forgotten. They fairly tako you
by storm. They havo unquestionably
the Mimllest feet in America. One sees
Uiom hero, thcro, everywhere, good
lixed, splendidly-proportioned, phiiup
as partridge?, with feet well, rarely
above ones not infrequently twelves
and thirteens, misses' size. Tho instep,
too, high, arched, so exquisitely round
cd it's no use, conic and sco for your
selves.
There arc no people in America who
may bo said to live moro in tho past
than do the crcolc.?. They belong
rather to tlio bygone age than tho pres
ent. They have neon handed down, as
it were, from tlio good old colonial
davs. There's the lieritago again of
blood and tradition, the feeling of kin
binding to memories, glories, and tics
of the old time France and Spain. Tho
management of the North, Central and
South American exposition has succeed
ed in a measure in bringing them out
of their usual retirement. They have
bf cn induced to enter into tho spirit of
a crcolo exhibit. It is decidedly tho

is a portrait of I'enalbut, lirst bisliop of
Louisiana. Another shows us a por

who donated tho land upon which was
built the famous old Cathedral of Now
Orleans. Tho family coat-of-anns ap

too, is tho portrait of Bishop Dubourg,
the first native Louisianian consecrated
to tlio bishopric. Two largo and very

cciving the crown of martyrdom and
Jesus appealing to Magdalen. With

palace is a ..Madonna, in marble, by

rosary of amber beads, originally tho
property of tho Duchess d'Angouleine,
daughter of Louis XVI., presented by
her to ono of her family, whence it has
descended to tiio present owner. Inter
spersed with tho beads arc tho minia
ture feet of tlio Savior in silver, and,
again tho hands and head. Attached
is a reliquary in enamel of tlio thirteenth
century. Think of the history. What
a talo this ancient relic could unfold
were it gifted witli memory and speech.
Here, again, aro a wonderfully ancient
looking watcn and seal, oneo tho pro
perty of tho Due do Morant. A ncck-
laco of amber beads, tho pin in the
form of a largo golden arrow, a square
block of amber in tlio center, the point
of the same material, the workmanship
that of tho fifteenth century; a piece of
Irish boadwork ot tho samo period; a
chatelaine with seven jewels 3'J5 years
old; a pair of earrings, each having four
successive- open barred links, the Irish
make, dating back over two hundred
years; a breastpin and high-backed
comb worn at court reception in Eng
land in 1773; set of emerald earrings
over ono hundred years of age; gold
locket for hair worn in tho colonial
days.
Among tho tilings rare and unique, as
also of historical interest, is a tiny euti
of line, morocco, stitched with golden
fleur-de-lis holding a small embroidery
stileto of silver, mounted with a tiny
cupid with bow and arrows; the other
sowing implements also complete. The
dainty little tiling has a fascinating in
terest, as originally belonging to a
king's favorite, to no less a character
than Diane do Poicticrs. Thcro is also a

Phillippe, king of France, taken from
the Tuilories when sacked during tho
revolution. Gold medal taken by tho
pirato Lafitto from a Mexican bisliop.
Antiquo Spanish needle-box of colonial
