( Omaha , Nebraska. ) Through the Sunny South. Continued from FlrM page the hurricane of October , 1867 wiped it out of existence. It was , for its siac , the most pros perous and wealthy and at the same time , most wicked city that ever existed. From beginning to end the city led a strenuous life. It was at Bagdad that negro soldiers of the United States first shot up or raided a town. Several companies of negroes from the regiments en camped at Clarksville on the American side of the river crossed into Mexican territory January 14 , 1866 , and for fourteen days held the city. More than forty years later the negroes of the twenty-fifth Infantry raided aud shot up Brownsville , Texas , only twenty miles inland from the al most forgotten town of Bagdad. Cripple Creek and Dodge City were rough and wild when they were on the outpost of civilisa tion , but Bagdad , roasting under the hot Mexican sun composed of the riff-raff of many nations , along1 with portions of its popu lation that was respectable , was a .seething caldron of iniquity. There was no law , no order. Cotton was indeed king , and to the king must be laid the crime of Bagdad. It was a time when cotton was worth almost its weight in gold. The people of Bagdad made fortunes and the foundations for many of the great fortunes of the south and south west were laid in this city , which during the past few years of life , was the most wicked on the American continent. The north and the south were at war , naxirailian and the French were in Mexico. The country south of the Rio Grande was torn and disrupted. The north was blookading all the ports in the south. There was a great cry for cotton from all over the world. The price of the stuff soared as the denland grew greater until the top price , more than a dollor a pound , was reached. Up the river from Bagdad was the Mexican town of Matamoris. This place I have just been visit ing. Here the French had built an opera house with seating capacity of 2,000 , and where money was almost as plentiful as as in Bagdad. This was the time this old town had a popula tion of 76,000 , while they now claim about 7,000. At that time the bull ring in Matamoris was the largest in Mexico. Cotton was taken Bag dad to Matamoris on the King Kenedy line of paddle wheelers. Here it was piled along the banks of the river to be shipped later to points in Mexico and for ship ment at Vera CruH. At one time there were a mile and a half of cotton bales along the Rio Grande. Later a straight mile of cotton burned to. ashes at Matamoris , destroying goods valued at one half million dollars. Those were the good old cotton times as the aged Mexican call them. The men who now beg on the streets then made from three to five dollars an hour on the wharve. When the civil war ended in 1865 and the blockade lifted from the southern ports , the people of Bagdad saw the be ginning of the end and the exodus began. Bagdad's career ended forever October 7 , 1869. Those who remained after the war mov ed inland a few days before the date mentioned because the water was coming { from the gulf. It was well for them that they did , for on October 7th a hurricane swept the gulf waters two miles into Mexico and when the waves receded not a stick nor a stone of what had been Bagdad re mained on the beach. me reiugees irom Bagdad sought refuge at LaBorita ranch , where they remained until taken away in boats. In San Antonio are scores of wealthy persons whose fathers made their money at Bagdad. Great ranches and plantations throughout Texas , Louisiana and other southern states are possible only because of Bagdad's existance. In Matamoris , Mexico , are a dozen families who have engaged in absolutely no occupation since the civil war , but have lived in the best of style. But the modern sedan is gone. Today the only inhabitant of that sec tion of Mexico is a lonely custom inspector. At night bob-cats and ocelots romp over the sandy beach. In the day time the sand crabs , great hairy tarantulas and green lizards have the whole city to themselves. Now we are againjscated in the little old street car on our return trip. Two of our crowd failed to catch this car as they were in a store looking at some curios , but we two are whizzing along at the best speed our propeller can take us , the little mule. Again we pay our toll and re ceive our check , At a certain place on our journey a small boy steps in the car , takes up the checks and drops them in a place of deposit ready to be gathered up and passed around again in the usual way. Here we are at the river ready to be taken on board the boat , soon to bid farewell to the scenes we have so faintly depicted. As we step from the boat on the American side we noticed a fine looking lady and a very hand some gentlemen entering the boat from the American side for the Mexican shore. W ° wonder ed why these nice looking Ameri- cam people seek a refuge in such a dismal , gloomy , weird and lonely looking place as it looked to us in the gloom and pall of night this old town of Matatnoros , Mexico. We have surely seen enough for one day but we wanted a few more postal cards , some more in formation before leaving Browns ville , Texas. * We went to the office of Mr. Phillips according to promis aud got the information sought for. He gave us a stick of ebony wood to take home with us. This is a rare and valuable wood and susceptible of a very Jfinc finish. This will be produced'in evidence that I have been here aud mystery story ip true. 'Tis now 10 o'clock and we go to the car and find that a number have already retired. I am sure that every member of our jolly crowd have seen enough for one day and each one has appropriat ed his or her share of this days history to the archives of memory , calling up at will the vivid recollections of the .sights and scenes of this day. Each member of this party will be remembered by the writer as long as the pulsations of life give power to call up sweet thoughts of this day from the storehouse of our memory , and we hope to be remembered by these friends we have .met and associated with thus far on this trip.With With these disconnected thoughts and reflections we say farewell to old Brownsville and its people , knowing not .that we may ever again walk the streets of these old cities or look in the faces of its people. Nights shades hover around me now , \Vlille In this far south land I roam ; The stars look down and kiss my brow , I sluup and dream of home , sweet home : For One I know will care for me. Who give the stars their radiant light ; And those I love HOOU wliall I see , Though I am far away tonight * . Oil , can It be that I am here , Where Hlo Qrande'a waters ( low ; Sweet ( lowers bloom through all the year. And lemon , orange and bananas grow. Yes , this Is true for I have seen This very day to my surprise , Uanana trees aud castor beans , A wonder to our natural eyes. We sleep tonight and then we go , And leave the history of the past ; We've watched the Klo Grande How , Hut now must vay farewell at last. These thoughts we gather from this day In after years borne hearts may thrill , And friends I meet on life's highway , Will know I've been to old llrownsvllle.
