And a six-inch J ick knife, too.

SIGHTS IN THE WEST.
Some of the Htratft Thing:* Sees by
Eastern Traveler.
From t lie Jlon ngahela K putil^in.
Since I «nine inio Colorado I have
played nt snow-ball wilh John SutHiiin-
on the last day of .July. I have f-een
ladies s« rape away the snow and pick
flow ers from the ground unuer the snow,
and I have seen red-ripe strawberries
picked from green bushes after kicking1
ott" a foot of snow l'rom over them. This
at Alpine Pass.
1 have seen men on hor.-eback along
the railroad Ir.tcks, where we have men
afoot, as traek-walkers; have seen these
men draw out a red flag and ride back
at dare-devil gallop over the ties t • li .g
a train.
I have seen the ticket agent at Mar-
shal's Pass, 10,725 feet altitude^ sitting
by a roaring tire in his office on July 30,
while ontside the ladies of our excursion
were gathering wild flowers and berries,
thermometer forty-four degrees in the
shade.
I have seen t_he adobe beings of the
Mexicans at Put-blo, wherein was more
dirt and filth than was ever die uied of
by an Knglish family; wherein Tiien
women, girls and visitors alike slept un-
der straw on a a ciay lb,or- in a room
w kich was aiike kitchen, pailor and bed-
room. 1 have seen Mexican girls with
castanets dancing a fandango, wearing
nothing but a few sunflowers in then-
long hair, unabashed in the presence of
n hundred oil-looker-?.
1 have seen in the streets of twenty sa-
Jotm towns open gambling hells, with a
sigu above tke door, "Cards and Kuin
-—I -have seen on the streets of Denver
splendid houses, the occupation of whose
female inmatt s was only too plainly indi
cated by a transparency gas lamp sus-
pended in the vestibule.
I have seen mountains of rocks thous-
ands of feet high, with the stones ar
ranged layer upon layer as if built by a
mason, as regularly and carefully laid,
and J have sc en standing in the middle
of a plain a flat stone on its edge 37>0
feet to its top. Audi have seen in the
Royal gorge a mountain over 2,000 feet
high, all seeming one so'.id mass of stone,
without a crack or crevice—actually one
Lig solid rock.
I have seen, and have in my satchel,
specimens of coal brought from the same
mountain, one from an anthracite vein
proving up eighty-nine per cent carbon
and auother of bituminous coal from a
vein eight feet thick and fronr a tested
field of 3,505 acres owned by one man.
I have seen an open Bible lying on an
elegantly carved oak altar at the en
trance of a rum shop aud gambling den
at liOadville,-tnd across the face of a large
elork just above the Bible the words,
'•Please I>on't Swear." Think of such
an appeal made in sjjch a way by the
keeper of a drinking den!
1 h-ive ridden in a palace car on a Rio
Grande railroad, the name of which,
painted on the sides in gilt letters, was.
'•The Blood of Je.-us," followed by
another car named "Heart of the
Savior."
I have traveled nearly two thousand
miles over territory west of the Missouri
river, in a land which my inind had peo-
pled with Indian?, and hare not teen an
Indian the whole trip—not one—except
two squaws on the station platform at
Cheyenne. -
- A Novel Fence.
Among the curious and valuable ex-
hibits at the recent railway exposition at
Chicago, w.-.s an electric fence. It is
made of ordinary steel wire, with no
barbs or sharp points to tear the flesh of
matt or beast, and no moreTlotricate or
expensive than an ordinary wire fence.
Its sinipii Ity and cheapness is its highest
recommendations to the public. The fern e
ia put up alongside of highways and
rround ilie pastures, fields of gardens,
^nd the-n ire is~ruu up into the li >use,
where it connccts with a small b Very
located in a little cupboard that
can be kept locktd. The battery is
put in order, the connection mad*',
and the tbing is ready. When a cow
or horse runs against it a percu s ve
sh >ck d.u ts throng ! them, such a*
a* man Jecls When he takes bold of
' the 1 r.iss handles t f the showm-n's
electrical appara us. On tii I it is found
tllat an aniinal will dart back fioui the
fenorevety time, and soon learn to avoid
the wires as they do the barbed oi.es.

From the -Two ltepulilus.
The remarkable progress mad-- in the
United States in the safe transportation
Of trophal fruits and dres.-ed meat,
ought to be of great service to Mexico,
since it shows what may be done lime,
when the Mexican Central, the Mexican
National and other great trunk lint s are
open to the American frontier.
In Chicago tl.c dressed beef business
has become very extensive. Steer? are
slaughtered there, and the beef is sent
in cars to Xew York, where some
is consumed and nioie is expoited to
the great B. itisb markets, t-o that it is
not uncommon for the Engl sli people to
have ou their tables beef which had been
conveyed by railroad 900 miles to the
coast, and forwarded thence 3,000 miles
by steiuiship, to Liverpool, whence it
was transported by rail a^ahi to the
iuland markets.
Some interesting facts on ibis traffic
have been elicited at an inquiry c .nduet-
ed by Commi-sioner Fink to determine
the comparative cost of transporting
dressed meats and live t-toek frcm
Chicago to New York. It was ascer-
tained that 175 pounds ol live
ateers-make-100 pounds of dressed beef;
that the ice eo.-ts about six cents per 100
pound-; that the cost of icing in transit
amounts to 10 cents, nssumii g that i.e is
$2.25 per ton, and that 5 1-4 tons are re-
quired for each car load of 35 carcasses.
Mr. Fink accordingly decides that
dressed beef should pay 77 c< nts per 100
pound* as freight from Chicago to New
York, when the current r*te for steers is
-iO cents. It is clear from the
foregoing details that meat may
be transported cheaply and secure-
ly by railroad; that this may
supersede to a large extent the c nvey-
anee of cattle, and that places as remote
from the «.eabrard a- Chicago may carry
ontl.e dressed meat business with the
fullest success. The application of these
conclusions to Mexico is obvious. The
meat traffic may be established toon, but
but its practicability is unquestionable.
In the conveyance of fresh fruit over
long distances great progress has also
been achieved, although the canning of
fruit, veget ibles and me.it has attained
greater importance. The Central Pa-
cific Railroad rceently constructed ten
refr'gerating cars for the i ur.jos -
of transporting fruit aci oss the continent.
In these the yen-til .tion is entirely from
the end-;, there b ing no ventilating
cupola on the tops, as ia the old fruit
cars. Should these cars turn out better
than the old ones, which were very good
in their way, the fruit traflic may become
very greit, and California gi-ipes and
pea; s may even be- exported without
great risk. In this matter Mexico is
also deeply interested. Her varied climes
will enable her to produce fruit cheaply
and abundantly, while her nearness to
the. great maikets will enable lier to out-
do West Indian and South American
rivals.

The BHiielit of-Kaiiroads in Mexico.
One good evidence of the beneflceut
result of railroads in Mexico, is the re-
cent request sent to each State, to send
two delegates to confer with the General
Government as to the best means of
"abolishing the internal custom houses
in conformity with the constitutional
amendment." By "internal custom
houses'" is meant the provincial
duties imposed upon commodities passing
from one State into another. The Re-
public of Mexico, whatever it may be in
theory, lias Lc;;n a practical illustration
of the working < f the Democratic doc-
trine of S ate .sovereignty. Es;eh State
has claimed the right under a system of
exerci e laws to, levy tribute tip n the
products of every o.her State coming in
or passing through it. While the
general government his surrouud-
el tha country wiili a cordon of
custom houses, each state has i:s pefy
toll-gate wheiever a road enters, a town
or city. This is State Sovereignty with a
\eugeanee. So far has this sy.-tem of
extortion been carried lli.it exports are
frequently taxed; as for instance, the
duties imposed by the aathorities of
Tatnaulip.-iS aud New L,3ou upon beef
cattle going iuto other parts of Mexico,
on the pretense that suv;h a traflic might
create a scarc'ty and high prices a home.
This system of provincial custom houses,
with its vast army cf hungry, unsciupu
lous publicans, has not only been a great,
incubus upon the prosperity ef the
country, but a great source of annoy-
ance to shippers and.consign es. Uiuier
the operation of railroa ?s piercing every
part of the country, this system of pro-
vincial tariff, a relic of the old Spanish
monarchy, has become a nu'sance, and
measures are being takeu to abat3 it.—
