", PACIFIC COAST NEWS. HV MtIL AM IKLHOKAI'II. IjDrh Down. Portland. )-c. 31. The sle &t has broken down th wires in all di rections. But H dot's not extend t much beyond Salem. Arrange ments have Ix'tn made by the Oreronian to lake oil' news reports at Albany and forward them bv Santa Fe, li- M. 'KT iu Santa Fe, or the city of the holy faith, was settled by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century, and was the capital of tin territory known as New Mexico, long before 1GS0, and was the seat of the civil and military powor of the Spaniards. The city occupies the site of sevei al Indian pueblos, and here it was that the power of the kingdom was established, and that for centuries, perhaps, before the Spaniards en tered. But the Indian buildings and monuments of their archi tectual skill have long since and to a great extent fallen to ruins. There is an old palace, a portion of which is .still standing here, which is a quaint old building1, and was the witness of stirring events long before he landing -at Ply mouth rock. It is estimated that there is a population of about 10.000 in this place, and with the exception of about three hundred Americans and foreigners, is com posed of Mexicans, descendants of the original Spaniards, but who are now mixed with the 1 ndians to such an extent that little trace of the great Spanish race can be found and the identity of the race is almost lost 1 Jccent years and the advent of the railroad have made some -changes in this old quaint city. The buildings are constructed of adobe or mud, and the changes which have been made consist principally in remodeling the old one-story, tile-roofed adobe build ing, by constructing a new front and making an extension, which add to the finish and appearance, and which is American in style, j Tie Americans have introduced .vC.ne business activity into the country, and they may be found here in possession of immense stocks of goods, and conducting a large number of hotels, restaurants and saloons, and all in the midst of this old, sleep, lazy population, who never have had but few cares in life, and generations of these mixed people have come and gone, and there is but little evidence upon the face of nature that they have done either. The American element has not infused any new life into the character of those to the manner born. The bustling drivinir, energetic American does'uors. tobacco, cigars, fruits andvege- c0o, to cl, i,0 ,;i;fitaUesf be?1 quality, which he offers not seem to show the tranquility or repose of the Mexican, whose daily care is that of looking after his little flocks in his pastoral life, and from this lethargic state he canuot be aroused by any example set before him. Who can say that this people are not happy and con tented, and may it not be that they are realizing more from life than thoe who have their physical 'and mental -apacity constantly . upon a su-iin in me uusiness oi acquiring health with 'which, they will soou have to be separated by the inexorable decree of nature?

In something we have written says the editor of the Fanner, "we have an indistinct recollection of having made reference to a general disposition among biys in their teens, as well as boys of maturcr year3, to enlighten and bless the world with their pro found knowledge of the horse and his history. Uur Ikkiks and newspapers are full of this kind of literature, and it varies in style from the production of the child at school, commencing with: The horse has four leg3 and a tail; up to the eloquent tribute of the scholar when he quotes from Jeb: That his neck is clothed with thunder and the glory of his nostrils is terrible. He smefleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains and the shouting. Between these two ex- tremes of the child at his first school coniosition, and the professional literature, we have every grade of pre iii,iuiuiv, w aijd h professing to have Mastered tl the whole subject. As we approach the close of this nineteenth century, we begin to look for some thing better in this department of knowledge from those who assume to instruct." And it is to be found in Kendalls Treatise on the horse, sent by mail to any person for twenty-five cents, postage paid. AppH to The Astoriax office, or address D. C. Ire land, Astoria, Oregon.
