Under date of June 19, 180, Engi
neer C. L. Vandevoort, who left this
city in early March for old Mexico to
accept a position as engineer, writes back
the following communication of inteiest
to his eon Guy, from Acambaro: -
"I will try and write you a description
of the country as I promised. I have
seen but a small portion of it; my trip
from LArado was most of the distance
made in the night, so I can say nothing
of the northern portion of the country.
Aenmbaro is 17 miles by rail northwest
from the city of Mexico. P has about
8,000 inhabitants and is an old city; it is
situutcd on the Lerma River and at an
altitude of 5,r00 feet above sea level,
and about the 18th degree north latti
tude; so you see I am pretty well down
towards the tropical country. There is
a bridge here across the Lerma which is
said to be over 200 years old, built en
tirely of bt one, in arches from one pier
to another. There is a stone parapet on
each side, and every 20 feet there is a
V shaped opening in which stone seats
are built. The American army crossed
this bridge during the Mexican war.
In Acambaro we have two pla.as one
is the market place, the other a pleasure
garden. The market plaza is paved
with round stone, and has stone benches
all around it, while in the centre is a
fountain with a stone basin about three
feet deep around It, and from here near
ly all the people in the town get their
water. One can judge something as to
the age of the basin by seeing how the
stones composing the sides and top are
worn, by the people drawing water out
of it. The vessels used for drawing
water are earthen, holding about three
gallons, and where they have been drawn
up the sides of the basin the top stones
are worn in grooves from three inches to
six inche? deep, and several of the stonis
have had to tie ai;cft put and new ones
put in. The stone sidewalks 03 -the
principal streets are worn in the sauv;
way, some of them two or three inches
deep. JTojv when we take into consid
eration the fact that but few of the peo
ple wear shoes (the large majority being
cither barefoot or wearing sandals) . it
must have taken'a" good many years to
we&f stone walks the way these are worn.
Most of the UuazC; are built of "adobe"
or sun-dried brick, 'f hy yery com
fortable, but I think they must be dip
during the rainy season.
After ie.yis Acambaro for the south
the road winds arout-ii injopg mount-
country toward the Pacific coast, and
the dirt to make the fills is carried ' by
Peone? instead of being scraped or
bouled.
The people here are yery " primitive in
their customs. Tuke for instance, their
farming. Things are dono the same as
ancient times; they use wooden ploughs;
the oxen wear the yoke, on their , heads,
and it is tied on . with rawhide thongs,
The wheat is cut with hand sickles, and
threshed by being tramped on by horses
or pounded, aud Is chancd :.'by beiu

a ui; pevpio are extremely religious
One of their priests just went by in his
carriage, I looked out of the window (.ad
everybody-on the street was ; on their
knees, men, women and children, and
they remained, kheeliag until he was out
of sight. But with all their piety they
are notorious ruieves. livery nnle post
has this inscription to keep the
Peones from stealing it. "Cuhlado
con la dinamita cojitiene enta patte."
(Look out for the dinamite this post
contains.) More another time."

was used. The grass on caf lte ran

erything had been burned out but now
everything has changed. The rainy sea
son lias set in; the sides of the mount
ains are beginning to look green; the
grass on the ranges is growing and the
land looks bright and cheerful. The
principal production in this part of the
country seems to be corn, wheat, beans
and "chily" (pepper). There are also
large herds of cattle and sheep; also
good many horses. Stock is kept on the
ranges the year round. When the wet
season is over the grass curea on the
ground and makes feed during the dry
season. The corn fodder is saved and if
the feed gets too short a little of that is
fed.

The Reward of a Man Who Saved a
Train.
From the Lincoln Journal.
It will be remembered that on Saturdav
evening, June 15, train No. 3 on : the B
& M. was signalled by an old farmer be
tween Ashland und Gretna. The train
was stopped just in time to prevent a
serious accident, for the road bed hAd
been partially washed away by the heavy
rains. The name of tho man is .Saun
ders, as the trainmen afterwards learned.
He did not stay on the scene of the
trouble to be thanked for his act, and the
railroad officials took the trouble to hunt
hun and ascertain his name." In a day or
two the old gentleman will be presented
with an elegant gold watch by the rail
road pompany. The time piece was seen
yesterday in the otlice of Superintendent
Thompson in this city. Jt is a heavy
gold watch, the best turned out by the
Elgin factory, with a beautifully chased
hunting case. On front and back the
monogram "L. S. is 1 elaborately eograv-
edr On the inside is the following" in
scription: "Presented to L. Saunders by
ths B. & M. R. R. for preventing passen
