It isn't very reassuring, says the correspondent of a California ex- change, as one steps of the cars at J a frontier town, to stumble against I a man whose belt consists of a . l double row of cartridges, with a . brace of pistols buclcled on the I outside, and whose hat-band is the ' dried skin of a rattlesnake. One recalls with trepidation all that he has read in the newspapers about cow-boys and border ruffians gen erally and almost decides to return to the train before it is too late. But a single glance is sufficient to prove that this warlike-looking in dividual is probably a demented exception in an orderbj and thriv ing town. For the Albuquerque fat which the cars stop is a bustling place. There are two Albuquerques, you must know, the parent and child, "umbillically connected bj' a horse railroad. This younger strip ling is less than twelve months old, but has already got upon its feet and proposes to stand for it self. The houses are not yef sun browned. Everything is new and frontier-like. Two lines of rail road pass through the town the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and the Atlantic and Pacific. Tt is the point at which the latter road terminates, or rather makes con nection with the former. There is a large building ior the general offices, and extensive structures for car shops, round houses, ware- houses, depots, etc. The work of construction upon this road is pro gressing rapidly. Already it is completed nearly to the Arizona line, and trains are running regu larly. From the present terminus it -will be pushed rapidly forward, and will cross the Colorado into California at The "Needles. Of course, so much railroad budding makes New Albuquerque a lively place, and houses are going up on every side. The population is about 1,500. The "old town," as it is called, with a population of 3,000, is a contrast. It is situated about a mile andaquaiter away. Horse cars run every ten minutes, and conduct one into.a past, century and a different civilization. Every thing is quiet and dreamy. The morning glories clamber up and cover the fronts of houses. The latter are all of adobe. The fences are adobe, and the walls and ovens. So is the church, and so, as far as one can judge by appear ances, are the inhabitants, as they sit listlessly and dream away the day in the soft New Mexican air. And such delicious air it is, fra grant and pure like the. atmos phere of Paradise. The old church dates back, no one knows how far. The present edifice is over one hundred years old and simply re places others that were destroyed by fire. Baptismal records are still extant bearing date of the begin ning of the eighteenth century. The population is almost entirely Mexican. In the day time they re pose languidly indoors or in the courts around which the low adobe houses are built. Butat evening as of old, the soft air resounds to the music of the Castilian tonjrue, or bears lazily away the strains of the guitar accompanying the ten der song of love. Whether itis the chile Colorado, or whether it is the law of heredity, certain it is that the Mexicans won't work. The drudgery of life islefftothe Indians and the don keys. The latter appear to be in high fayor. They are the common carriers of Albuquerque. On every street they may be seen staggering under the loads which are strapped '.on to the pack-saddles. Following closely behind is the Mexican boy, j who nrfes them now ana then i c; with Spanish expletives. The donkey is an ubiquitous and valu- able citizen. Were it not for his services the world might keep its bundles, for all of old Albu- querque. In speaking of the Indians it must not be forgotten that both in j ancient and modern times the In dians of New Mexico and its im mediate neighborhood have shown themselves to be much superior to the wandering nomads of the American Continent. Some of the most ancient records of civilization are found in this Territory. Relics have been discovered which show not only ingenuity but a consider able advance in the arts of agri culture and architecture. One writer sas that before Thebes the Indians of New Mexico builded their cities upon these plains. The ruins of their ancient struct ures are still found, half buried in the drifting sands of centuries. Beneath the streets'of the ancient and forgotten pueblo of Zuni are found the walls of a still more ancient city- . Near a sacred spring Lieutenant Whipple found vases "curiously painted to represent frogs, tadpoles, tortoises, butter flies, rattlesnakes."' Not only has painted ware been discovered, but pottery with raised designs, elabo rately and beautifully carved. In scriptions have been left on the rocks as puzzling as the cuneiform inscriptions of Babylonia. Hun dreds of feet up perpendicular cliffs dwellings have been found on narrow ledges, accessible only by steps cut in the face of the rock. Watch towers and fortress es of great antiquity are still in existence. Houses were built five or six stories high and measuring between :W0 and -100 feel in length by 150 feet in width. The Indians who built and inhabited these dwellings had an elevated form of religion. They believ in one Supreme Being, whose name was too sacred to be pro nounced. John T. Short gives a very inteiesting account of their faith. Montezuma was their Merit- ator, born of a mortal mother hv the Supreme Spit if. "When he created the Apaches lhey were so wild that they ran away. But whatever the ancient Indian of New Mexico may have been, it is certain that the Pueblo Indians of the present day are far in ad vance of their North American brethren in general; they live in towns and are peaceful and in dustrious. A large proportion of the fruit around Albuquerque is of their raising. They occupy some eighteen pueblos or towns. The little village of Isleta, about ten miles south of Albuquerque, is a fair sample of their pueblos. Most of their houses are built without windows or doors on the first story, being accessible to tho top by means of a ladder, and then down into the house through a hole in the roof. In lime of war or at night the ladder is drawn up. Under the Mexican regime these Indians voteri and had all the privileges of citizens. They not only raise fruit, corn, wheat and vegetables, but they, manufacture curious Indian pottery which is sold to travelers and sent East in quantities. On the streets of Al buquerque the Indian women vend their fruit, carrying it from point to point in baskets, nicely balanced on their heads. Albuquerque is the center of a very considerable mining excite ment. Chief Justice Prine de clares that New Mexico has more gpld than California and more sil ver than Colorado. Prospectors are out in every direction, and a! large number of mines have been opened, with good results. The Urave Custer's Memorial. Lieut. Charles F. Roe, Adjutant Second Cavalry, has reported the completion of the erecting on the Custer battle-field the monument which was sent last year to Fort I . Custer by order of the Secretary of War. The monument is in the form of a low obelisk, in two blocks resting upon a step, all of granite. It is in three pieces, weighing re spectively 10,000, 12,000 and 14, 000 pounds. They were, during the winter placed on a wooden drag or sled, one at a time,aud hauled to the battle-field, crossing the Little Big Horn three times on the ice. Twelve mules were harnessed to each runner of the drag or sled, four abreast. The' moved the weight without much difficult', and Lieut. Roe having prepared a crane of ash timber, cut on the banks of the Little Big Horn river, properly rigged and stayed, he with the aid of Troop C, Sec ond Cavalry, commanded by Second-Lieut. Fuller, detailed for the purpose, erected the monument upon a masonry fouudatidn pre viously prepared. Ten feet from the foot of the monument, and surrounding it on all four sides, a! trench was dug, into which were gathered all the remains of those who fell in that fight, including all those who were with Reno, and for this purpose the vicinity was thoroughly scouted, and all were brought together and securely and deeply buried at the foot of the monument, except the remains of Lieut. Critenden, whose grave was not disturbed, and over whom was erected a monument sent for that purpose by his father that being the understood wish of Gen. Crit enden. The Custer monument is six feet square at the base and eleven feet high, and being raised on a mound, its top stands fourteen feet above the top of the h'll. Its center is within six feet of the spot upon whicii were found Gen. Custer's remains. It beats the following inscription, to which are j athled the names of all who fill in Custer's fijrht "In memory of Ofiier.s and Soldiers who Fell near this Place, Fiffhtiiiff with the Seventh Tniied States Cavalry against Sioux Tn dins, on the 2.)than(1 20th of June, A. D., 1S7G." Alta California. A Plying Newspaper. Tho Hailway Journal, -. news paper containing the latest intel ligence, is printed and published daily in the train running between New York and San Francisco. All the news with which its col umns are filled is telegraphed from different parts of the States to certain stations on the litje, there collected by the editorial staff traveling in the train, and set up, printed, and circulated among the subscribing passengers, while the iron horse is persistently traversing plains and valleys, crossing rivers and ascending mountain ranges. Every morning traveler may have his newspaper served up with his coffee, and thus keep himself in formed of all that is going on in the wide world dnring a seven days' journey covering over three thousand miles of ground. He who pays his subscription at New York, which he can do at the rail way ticket office, receives the last copy of his paper on the summit of the Sierra Nevada. The pro uucuou ui ;i news sneet irom a flying printing oflice at an eleva tion of some ten thousand feet above the level of the sea, is most assuredly a performance worthy of conspicuous record.
