ib CITY OF THE ANGELS. A VISIT TO THE FINEST CITY MEXICO. Puebla de los Angeles, and Its Wonders — The Streets and Quaint Bulldings-- The Famous Cathedral— Bean 3-2 tios of the Altar. do howd i {Fannie C. Ward's Puebla Letter] This “City of the Angels” is one of the few in modern Mexico which was not built upon the ruins of former Aztec great ness, but was an original idea of the early Spanish colonists. Its site, on the green slain of Acayete, was formerly occupied by a few huts belonging to the Cholula Indians. and was then, ns now, environed by productive cornfields, beyond which miles of the American agave or century plant stretched away to the foothills of the Sierra Madras The present eity is considered by many the finest in Mexico. It is the rival of Guadalajara in beauty, and is second in size to the capital, with a population of nearly 200,000. It was founded in 1531, and was named Puebla de los Angeles (City of the Angels), because of the tradi tion, still devoutly believed, that while its cathedral was being constructed the work was continued every night when the workmen slept by angels, who added as many stones us the builders Lad placed by day. Since 1862 the city has been called Puebla de #aragoza, in honor of the Mex- jean general who defeated the French army here in that year, The streets of Puebla are wider and better paved than those of most Mexican cities, and its two-storied buildings are,in pleasant contrast with the prey ailing style of interior towns, where the narrow stony alleys are overshadowed by the gloomy, low-roofed casas of a bygone age. Be sides the inevitable central plaza and the rreat Alsmera (grove of elms), Puebla re joices in no less than twenty-six frukic parks, all of which are well shaded, and flower tlled spaces, where the populace congregate nightly. The shop fronts and most of the houses are built of six sided bricks, with small blue tiles set in between Others are a per ect mosaic of Dutch or ( hina tiles upon a ground work of Pompeiian red, arranged in all manner of designs, and having numerous placques and panels, upon which saints are carved or painted, let into tte walls. The effect is extremely quaint. Although somewhat startling at first to foreign eyes, one soon becomes ac customed to the vivid coloring, and comes to regard our commonplace dwellings much as a collector of ceramics looks upon delf as compared with decorated pottery. The finest tiles on the continent are made in Puebla, and here are no less than a dozen fabracas fer their manufact ure The famous cathedral, once one of the richest in the world, is still the great at traction for tourists, though much of its pristine splendor disappeared with the de cadence of papal power. Standing in the midst of majestic cypresses, and sur- rounded by a wide stretch of marble pave- ment one sees no evidence of the work of shadowy hands; but, on the contrary, everything looks as substantial as though designed for eternity. The facade of the northern entrance is embellished with statues snd medallions in marble, and the mitre and keys of the pope. On the face of the western tower is a fine old clock, made in Madrid more than two centuries 0. The main, toward the of the cathedral is here are more stat ues, occupy nu niches, scores of sculptured ts and coveys of legless cherubim hovering around the marble slab, which tells us that the gloomy pile was erected n 1664. The immense marble paved space surrounding it is inclosed within a high, spear pointed iron fence, whose innumerable posts of massive gran ite are all faced by bronze casts in bas re lief, and to by angels with out stretched wings. All these bronzes were cast by an American named Marshall, for merly from New York city, who lived in Mexico for many years Though untold treasures in the way of gold, silver and precious stones were con- fiscated from this church by the anti Cath olic regime, it is still enormously rich. The finest collection of marbles in the world eate® into its construction, not even excepting the celebrated Taj Mahul, of India Perhaps its most striking object is the main altar. It was erected in 1812 by a prelate of Puebla, and affords the greatest display of the beautiful Mexican onyx to be found anywhere in the repub lic, which is famous for it. One is aston ished by the infinite variety of tints—from rose color to Nile green, dark yellow, and mahogany brown. Among all the most conspicuously lovely is the pure white transparent alabaster from the exhaust less quarries near Puebla A massive railing and steps of translu- cent onyx lead to a circular platform ele vated ten feet above the floor, heneath which are buried the successive bishops of Puebla. This exquisite sepulchre is constructed entirely of the most precious materials, and is divided into miches and panels, the whole covered with a dome of transparent alabaster, whose crystal like clearness is enhanced by trimmings of bronze and gold. From the center of this wonderful canopy depends a huge gil er lamp, which burns forever above the illustrious dead The Sickness Called “Sirocche.'’ Chicago Tribune. | Mr. Meiggs carried his famous railroad from Lima tothe crest of the Andes, over three miles high, at a cost of $27,000,000 and 8,000 human lives, but died before completing it About fifty miles of track remain to be built A contract for its construction has just been made by a brother of Mayor Grace of New York It is said that the sensation of riding up this railroad, together with the rapid as- cent from the sea level to the mountain's crest, produces a sickness called “siroe che,” often fatal, and usually sending people to bed for several weeks symptoms are a terrible pressure upon the temples, nausea, bleeding at the nose and ears and faintness, but the effects can be avoided by taking precautions and obsery- ing rules that experience has suggested, the chief one being to drink a glass of brandy and keep perfectly quiet, as the slightest degree of exercise wili Foor the strongest man, ’ How the Chinese Keep Cool [Washington Cor. Baltimore American, ] The members of the Chinese legation actually revel in this wouther. They spend (heir days in their hammocks and their nights on the street. Their * Mother Hubbards” can be seen floating in every breeze along the fashionable prom and in unfashionable walks as well. The Chinese seem to know the art of dressing for hot weather better than any other people. If “the set” could enly see the comfort they take in these hot days, who knows that the reviled and persecuted “Mother Hubbard ” might not become the ultra fashionable summer garment for both sexes A OLD FRIENDS AND NEW.

William T. Sher- man and Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. Grant met Lee, Joseph and Sidney Johnston, Beauregard, Buckner, Bragg and Pember ton in battle, as chief commanders, and of them Joseph FE. Jolnston, Beauregard and Buckner survive, Meade, who met the terrible shock of the battle at Gettysburg, was borne to the City of the Silent within a short time of the imposing southern pageant that com mitted the dust of | ee to the mother dust and Thomas and Hood, who fought the last great battle of the war at Nashville, both sleep the dreamless sleep of the dead. Sherman and Johnston alone remain of the great commanders, who locked horns with each other in the flame of battle Their campaign from ( hattanoogs to At Ianta and from Atlanta to the sea. was the most brilliant of the war, and they are the only two great commanders who are left to sit down and talk their battles over, as they often do in the heartiest good fellow ship Of the many commanders of the heroic army of the l'olomac, none remain, with the single exception of General McClellan Scott, McDowell, Burnside, Hooker, Meade and Grant, who in turns com manded that magnificent army, haveall gone to join the great majority, and Long street is the only one of Lee's great lieu tenants who linger with the living. Jack son. Hill, Ewell and Stuart, who were in every great contlict of the army of Vir ginin, rest with their great chieftain of Arlington. Joseph E. Johnston and G. T. Beaure gard are the only surviving Confederate commanders who led greal armies to bat tle, and they are whitened by the frosts of time. Johnston has been im congress, aad is now at the head of the National Railroad bureau, while Beauregard is bar tering his fame in the market place where lottery swindlers rob the multitude Making Ginger Ale. [New York Sum | “The demand for ginger ale,” said a prominent manufacturer of that article, “increases very rapidly. When I started in it years ago there were not more than twenty in the business. The most of my business now is the manufacturing the ex tract for others to put into potable form, and these others have grown from thirty to about 500. In the main, all the makers wse the same formula and method. They mix the extract with pure sugar syrup, dilute with water until am ordinary bottle contains about fifteen drops of ginger, and then put this into botties with a car bonic acid machine Two qualities are made, one, the hetter, for private use and first-class hotels and saloons, and a second for the general bar room trade. The difference is almost en tirely in the quality of the extract em- ployed. With the first, we make a gin ger ale which sells for $1 or §1.20 per case of twenty-four botties; the second runs from 50 to 75 cents a case It may surprise you to know that three fourths of the so ¢ "led imported article is made here.
