Looking down from the foothills of Popo- | rat«i>elt with a fleld-glass I could see the ] flower gardens of Mexico t.ot far away. But they were iuaccosslUlo from the mountain j tide and must be reached from the city. Won-derful stories hail the old Mexican to tell me of these ilower garvlens, ten or a dozen miles • distant, between his cattle ranch oiyl the city, j and I determined to see them as soon as pos- j sible. They were floating palms, each a floating pAradise. Yet I hail heard all this , before. In London, when I first set foot , there, and they found I had been to Mexico, ' the inquiry was for the floating Ilower gar­dens. And I was compollad to hang my head and admit that I had never heard of them before.

But even here in this city I was asked al- j most as soon as I arrived by a sharp-nosed ! woman, with short hair and a bag over her i shoulder, if I had yet soon Humboldt's float- ! ing flower gardens. '•No! Well I have; go­ing to write a book about 'om; wonderfull magnificent! just too sweet for anything.'' .. I am careful to say that I speak of these

flower gardens as Humboldt's floating flower gardens only because I have heard others call them such; not that I have found one line of Humboldt's on the subject.

Taking with me my old Spanish friend, I drove out toward the southern gate,- to where the Indians come with thousands of boats down the broad willow-lined canal with fruit and flowers and all sorts of things for the city. This gate Li merely a bridge over the green and stagnant moat or ditch which almost en­tirely surrounds the city, and serves, or once" served, as a wall. Y e t there is still the sem­blance of a gate.on this south side toward the Bower gardens aud Popocatapetl, and high marble and lava columns lift up on either ride of the little bridge over the green and stagnant cano and willow-lined moat. On a marble-tablet you read the date 179S; also a long Spanish inscription which tells you that this is the south gate of the City of Mexico. Passing over this little bridge to the south, with its ancient date and its famed Spanish Inscriptions informing us that it is a gate, we soon came to the great canal with its thous­and little boats.

.- AJOATTtms .O.N jrnjs. CAyAu •_ To begin with, the boats are ugly and cum­

bersome. Now and then a little canoe 'with a single Indian standing erect, with one foot in the bottom and one on the edge, would dart past us as wes lowly worked on up the sluggish dark canal, but as a rule the boats are heavy and slow. They are from ten to twenty-five feet in length and five and six feet wide. There is a low, coarse matting to keep oft" sun or rain thrown over some willow loops bent over the middle of the boat; and some of the boats have banners and gay awnings, but as a rule the whole affair on the canal of flowers is a somber affair from beginning to end. The canal is older than history, I should say. The banks are lined with trees. Under these trees are stone seats, set all along b y the wkle promenade. Here are many men going up and do.wn on horseback; but very few car­riages come this way. Thousands of people go to and fro with heavy loads.

Boat-loads of flowers? Nothing of the sort for miles. Y e t I ought to explain that the (lowers, as a rule, arrive very early, with the dawn almost, so as to be under the glass house near the cathedral for early mar­k e t »

All along the willow and shaded banks of tho broad, deep canal of many leagues in length, we saw tho ever-present and'stooping washerwoman. Find a pool of water ttny_-\ where you please in Mexico any time, you will find from ono to twenty patient, silent, modest, and industrious women bending to their work, their brown babies, in all sorts of picturesquo colors, tumbling on the grass in groups or sleeping in the shadow close at hand. . •

The first boat coming from the mysterious floating flower" land which we encountered was ladon with Indian corn: the second was loaded with fine wool for a woolen factory, which an English company bad established on the banks of tho flower cana l Then we mot a lot of loud Americans, on their return from a flower excursion, a short distance up tho canal; then some Mexican officers, with their wives and children; but never a boat­load of flower3 for miles.

Another hour and wo were in a wide lake-All about us to right and left and far away was one unbroken line of gardens rising from the water. But these little gardens, only six or ten or twenty inches above the water, are not floating gardens a t all. The boaU move v e r / slowly and cautiously about among thaw gardens so at to not make a ripple in the water, for oven a ripple would disturb the ground.

MVST3BT OF THE "TLOATINQ (TxRDENS." These gardens are clooo under tho south

wall of the mountains in the va l l iy of Mex­ico. They are not very far from the bono o< Popocataj'ot! and the other snow mountain with the unpronounceable Indian name, and called for the better convenience of rtrangern, "The Lady in White." But this lake in which these gardens grow is jrurely not fed from th« mows of these mountain*, for tho water her« Is warm. And il is this warm tomporntur*. of tho water hero, rather than thfl air, which pel nits thesn Indians to take boat-loads of flowers and vejjc<AWf« of all kinds Into the city of Mexico in midwinter.

There, iu addition to a miscellaneous assort­ment of trumpery, tinory, and poor belong­ings, broomsticks, crockery, (latirons, aprons, sacks, hammers, and fiddles, are pigeon-holed costly lace, malachito buttons, diamond rings and chattels of genuine value. Iu an upper room, the assassin's nest, are tho ropes with which men were hanged, remains of tho po­tions with which they were poisoned, or the daggers with which the souls were brutally dug out of their bodies, side by side with ugly flint pistols, bludgoo:is suggestive of Bill Sykes, and tho evil-looking pikes wielded by-Malay pirates who enjoy the grim hospitality of a quicklime grave under Newgate's flag­stones. A lady who would insist on entering the place once was carried out in a deadly, swoon.

But the burglars' budget of tools Is a re­markable and edifying object of study. They, are beautifully finished, and of tho most ex­quisitely-tempered steeL A fine trado in the) manufacture of these excellent specimens of skilled handicraft must be done somewhere. The dark lanterns are ingeniously wrought, the list slippers dolicately embroidered, and somo of the jimmies are polished until thoy resemble oxidized silver. There must be aes­thetes of the housebreaker's a r t How Sir Claude de Crespigny, tho would-bo hangman, would rejoice were ho let loose in this happy hunting-ground! It sickened me. I had to ask for air when tho curator showed me a

TIlerc^taerV^ppriratas-Trxrribit^^

The wood used in the manufacture of Tucl-fers is tho best pine plank, as free from knots as it can be procured. Each plonk i s cut across the libers by means of a circular saw, into twenty-eight or thirty blocks, each meas­uring eleven inches long, four and one-half wide and throe inches thick. These blocks are cut up into splints by a machine of simple but ingenious construction, which I wil l endeavor to explain in a fow words. To the extremity of the horizontal arm of a crank is attached a frame which reciprocates to and fro wi th the

I motion of the crank through a space of about { four inches. In this frame ore fixed in a lino 1 some thirty or forty lancets with tho points | projecting upwards, and separated from eael 1 other by pieces of brass. The block of wood to | bo cut is inserted by tho small end, between

uprights, and a lever placed upon it forces' it down to such a position that as tho lancet points advance, the end of the. wooden block is scored or cut in the direction of, or par­allel with tho libera, with as many linos as there are lancets. As tho lancets are with­drawn by the motion of the crank, a scytha blade moving in a horizontal piano swings round, and cuts off the end of tbo block to the depth of tho scores made b y tho la.uceLj..

RAPIDITY OF THE CUTTING PROCESS. . Tho pieces thus cut off will evidently ba four sided splints, square in section, suppos­ing, as is the case, that tho lancets are equidistant, and that, the horizontal knife cuts exactly to the depth of tho lancet scoresf When the horizontal knife swings back, the block, from which ono layer of splints has thus been removed, descends through a space aqual.to the depth of the section, the lancet points again advance and recede, and the knife again docs its work. In this way tho Cutting is carried on with such rapidity that from 13 to 10 planks'each 12 feet long,111 inches wide, and 3 inches- thick can bo cut np into splints iu n day of ten hours. As the splints fall off the block b y tho action of the) horizontal knife, thoy pass down a shoot immediately under into a room below, where they are aro tied up into bundles.

N e x t comes tho coating of parafflne which the match requires before tipping, tjulphur was used for this purpose until quito recently,

8he put her checkered aprou on, and tied 11 rcund_hfir_waist^

No queen with jeweled diaHeifit . fitly graced;

And when she sauntered down the lane and reached the liudeu tree,

I thought I saw m y coming fate, whoso name was Kitty Lee,

I had not spoken much of love, though often we bad met,—

And yet she answered something, once, I could not well forget;

But she was (air and rosy, and I thought how , nice twou ld be

If, when she tied that apron on, the UQ was meant for rue.

Tho summer sun was nestling down Wyond tho distant hills.

One voice alone saluted us—tho plaintive whip-poor-will's

I spoke about my loneliness, of toils and carol that fret,

And she, with soothing readiness, was glad that we had m e t

One knows not how such little words proceed frqrn less to more,

But, somehow, we came nearer than wo ever stood before;

And, when I saw tho meaning that her beam­ing face supplied,

I found m y arm was resting where I saw that apron tied!

A n d so I put the question that must happen soon or late,

And found that Love was ready to oboy the call of Fate.

O Kitty Lee, I thank you—for when you that apron tied,

Y o n shaped a wondrous love knot that won you for m y bride.

Every employer judge* of tho negro b y his, own interest and his owu"exper;euee. So faj-as I am concerned I- prefer tho white m a n now, for no man has bettor tenants than I have. They are m y friends and I am theirs; but a few years ago I preferred the negro as a laborer. Nevertheless, I like to have some darkeys around, for they are always ready and always willing to do thiugs in emergen­cies that a white man does not like to do, and I do not like to ask him to do. Every south ern white man, however poor, will maintain, the independence Of his family if he can. H e will not do, nor let his family do , anything that looks like dependence or menial service. The cooking and the washing is still done by* negroeafaud they make the morning fires and bring the water and milk the cows.

White folks even iu tho country have their social rank. The lines are dim anjl crooked, but there are lines. Whereas among tVo negroes there aro none. Neither religion, nor morals-, nor poverty have yet established any social caste among them. Bob Smith has just come from a t w o year's term hi the chaingang, and goes around in the settlement liko a hero returncrf from the .war .

Tho Proudes t A c h i e v e m e n t of the P a n ­ama.—A Contractor's H u g o Task.

Buhio Soldado is tho proudest achievement of the Panama Canal company, rind is, in­deed, a great work. Tho hill is of solid rock, alternating at places in huge cobblo bowlders. W e aro saluted wi«h a following volley of 200 gun-cotton explosions to show .Jjow rapidly such work can bo manipulated. On tho ahoko clearing off a really grand engineering feat meats tbo e y e Lcdgo upon ledge of sloping rock terrace tower up to tho highest point, about K0 feet On several of tho ledges stand rows o{ wagons; which were it not a holiday would bo busily nt work. We are at tho bottom, and it is necessary to as­cend, which wo contrive by means of .winding paths, M. De Lessens ou a sure-footed mule, for the heat is intonso.

Tho contractor for tho raising of this large mass is a Swiss of the name of Sondercgger, whose faco is a sanguino and cheerful picture, as if tho impediments were nothing. Con­trary to tho policy of many of bis colleagues, he is open and straightforward. The contract has been for the removal of a littlo short of 2,000,000 cubic meters, ho says, as if enjoying the klea; 1,200,000 of this has been douo and only 800,000 only remains. Tho rocky sec­tion is 5O0 meters long, about eighty feet broad at tbo bottom, sloping up to about 120 feet at tho top, and tho contractor further takes the swarthy ground as far as kilometer thirty-threo. Mr. Sonderegger answered me plainly that ho had no doubt of completing his task by tho end of next year.

His mode of excavating is very ingenious. He first pierced a tunnel right through the mountain leading to tho flat ground on either side. Above this tunnel large holes about three meters broad are made, four in all, at various points above the tunnel, the top being made funnel-shaped. . Tbo rocks are then blasted and rolled into these apertures, whoso standing sides embrace a largo circuit Bo-l*w a train of wagoris is in waiting to receive tho huge bowlders as thoy dash through. In this w a y four traffic cars aro filled at once, and in a very short timo tbo whole train moves away with its heavy load. 8uch is the practical and swi(t means which this en­terprising contractor takes to diminish his huge task. N o wonder tho company are proud of him; and were there many of his practical nAture, who could show such good solkl work, tho CAIIAI would gain many friends—Panama Cor. CblcAgo Time*.

also heating a vessel containing melted paraf fine, Tho splints are brought hero in bundles, placed for a moment on tho hot plate to char their ends, and then dipped in the paraffiiio, riot in tho vessel itself however. A pan with a piece of-flannel in it stands abovo it, and this flannel is kept cons^arjtly motst with melted parafflne. When tho ends of a bundl* are placed on the flannel they suck up instan­taneously as much of tho substance as is re­quired.

After this comes tho framing, i. e., placing the splints on ends inside a frame, and sepor-ating each row with a long splint, very much as you would lead type. This is dono in order that a great many may be tipped and dried at once. When a frame becomos rilled it il locked with a wedgo, and in' this state looks like a large square brush, the ends of the splints answering to hairs, althqugh of course they are much fur­ther apart The splints are now tapped gently on a flat iron plate, to render their ends porfetly level, and are then ready for dipping.

A SERIES OF BIO QLtTE POTS. In another room, arranged against tho wall ,

are a series of magnified glue pots. In these tho composition is prepared. For common matches glue is first of all melted i then phosphorus, chlorate of potash, aud other ingredient; are stirred.in ono at a time, Th« phosphorus used for this, being highly dangerous, is kept in a large iron tank filled with water, and covered with an iron plate, locked down. A largo iron slab stands near, and a workman iu front of it who smeai-s the slab with tho composi­tion by means of a brush, and then, holding a frame full of splints with both bands, brings the tips of tho latter down on tho composition and raises them again, each one with a littl* wet b i l l on itsend.

Now comes the drying. Running along th« whole length of tho building on one side ar« a series of drying-rooms; along each side ar« iron racks into which the frames containing tho newly tipped matches fit like shelves. When thoroughly dry, tho frameo are taken to another room, loosened, and by a littl* sleight of hand the whole of tbematches ar« thrown out in rows on a tray, and then pushed over to a girl on the other side, Sho, with tho precision and rapidly which practice alono can give, takes up a bundle of matches just enough to fill a box and no more, and tucks them into it. It occasionally happens that in sweeping off a row of matches, a match ignites and kindles the others in the row; the girl has a box of sawdust at hand in which to plunge and ex­tinguish the flAmcR.—Brooklyn Eagle.

I understand that Mr. .Brewster has jumped bock into a larger practice than ever in Philadelphia. Ho is a very able lawyer, and for all his weakness, of tho assthotic Oscar Wilde order, be is rv man w h o m it would pay other prorriinent men to imitate. In tho first place ho is a thorough gentleman, scrupulously polite, and possessing remarkablb conversational ability. He was almost burned to death whon ho was a boy, and his faco is drawn up as though ona of its cfieoks was pulled up into his eyes b y ' a n Invisiblo grap­pling hook attached to some invisible sup­port which moves about "wherever ho does. He affected here at Washington tho clothes of a generation ago, and wore ruffied shirts, velvet vests, and a white silk bat with a nap as long a* the fur of a c a t Tho ugliness of his features was Increased by tbo eccen­tricity of his clothes.

Ho liked to surround himself with beauti­ful things, and tbo attorney general's offlc*) during the Arthur administration had tbo furniture, bric-a-brac, and hangings of a king's drawing-room, Littlo objects of art lay upon his workingdesk. A statue of tha infant Charles V. stood 'on a pedestal at hi* back, and rare old oriental rugs covered tho floor. It 1* said in music that the great composers now and then introduce a dlacord In* order to throw their beautiful harmonies into the sweeter contrast Brewster was tho disoord in the harmony of the attorney general's office, and it was also tbo case in his beautiful homes here and in Philadelphia,

His every surrounding wa* tliat of tho beautiful Ho delighted in collecting tb* pretty things of tho antique, and his china, which l>* hA* been forty years lu getting to-grthrr, far otto of USe fiiMwV coilaeUolM Uv th* country. It la vary W g e and It I* mado up of rare bits of Dresden, Minton, and Wedge-wood added to tbe choicest pieces from China and Japan. Somo of hi* pKtes hava cost him fOOO A doren, and on* of his dinner sets one*, belonged to Ijoui*' Phtlltppa, Tha plates of this set contain beautiful hand-fainted lAndsCApc*, and none of them coat leas than |S0, Hi* glassware i* also very fine, and ha ha* MAderiA glAsno* which were In hi* grand mother's family, and champagne cool­er* of silver which came from hi* mother's sideboard.

Mr. Brewster Is very protid of hi* fAtnlty, and tha Brewster coat of-army- ha has en­grave.! on everything connected with him. Hi* very nlght-*blrts are sai l t o be marked with It, And I know that hi* leUer p*per bears. tin lan-illy crest. Tbe big yellow conch that ha drove al<out Washington had theaa arm* em-bUsonesI upon It panels.
