HonrjWixrd Booohor Discourses
On Tholr EviU.
New York SpeciM to Chk-axo Tribune.
Speaking on the subject of motion-
olios , the Kov. Henry Wnrd Needier
said : "Tho great peril of tlio future
lies in the developments of the com
bination of labor nnd capital. In the
past wo have no succeeded in liniitinc
power that the individual will docs
not have sway. Hut now the power
of property comes in. The power is
tending from the individual to the
corporation. 1 can remember when
there were ten thousand looms in
pnvato houses in Now Kugland. Now
there is none , and all textile fabrics
nro miulo in factories. The indvid-
nal becomes powerless before the gi
gantic monopolies created by force of
wealth. Suppose a man wishes to in
vest $100,000 in oil refining. Tlio
otnmlard Oil Company says to him :
Sell out to us or divide your profits
with us. If you don't
. . . YOf. '
If ho says this is a free country , they
reply that it is as free for the corpo
ration as for the individual. That
Standard Oil Company is like twenty
Jigyplinn pyramids in a bunch , caclt
with a Pharaoh on it. It is the most
gigantic combination on the face of
the earth , and it is not a whit better
because ono of the best
men in it is a
member of the leading Baptist church
in Brooklyn. Them are live or ten
men who control 10,000 miles of rail
road in the lines of travel and trans-
pprtation , and so have billions upon
billions of property under their au
thority and
A CLUTCH ON THK Vr.HV THROAT OK
COMMERCE.
If iho need should como for a pres
ident who would favor the railroad
monopolies , it would take only five
pockets to put any man in the execu
tive chair. Out from Now York run
three or four roads which are unde
veloped dangers to the very existence
of uncorrupt central government.
There is a many-mouthed lion and a
real peril. _ But good will como out of
all this. The danger will bo overruled
for goot | . Combination in manufac
turing means cheaper fabrics. Steam
ship companies and railroads will dis
tribute them cheaply. Commerce will
bo a winged lion when the perils are
overruled , and the honey will remain.
As to the labor troubles , comprehen
sively , I rejoice in them , while in-
dividvally I am sorry. Labor must
organize for self-defense. Men are
not to bo trodden down like grass.
The organization of labor is wide
spread , and wages forme rlv discussed
only at ono end are now talked over
at both.

"What is your impression of Now
Mexico , Colonel , and its possibilities ? "
asked the Post man.
"I do not think that Now Mexico
will over amount to much as an agri
cultural State. It is a good grazing
country , but it is principally valuable
for its.mines of copersilvor | ) and gold.
Now Mexico is like a rich miser
clothed in rags. It looks poor.dutsido ,
but under the surface you will find
hidden away wealth enough for a con
tinent. "
"Is it not true , sofarasyourknowl-
odgn goo" , tlmt thono rupnrtsof bonan
zas are greatly exaggerated ? "
"As a rule all reports ( except those
made by regular reporters ) are exag
gerations. Hundreds of people will
pretend that they have found rich
mines , when , as a fact , they have only
a few barren poles sot on end in the
ground. "
"How did the natives impress you
the Pueblos ? "
"I saw but few of the natives. , I
met a great number of real bighearted -
hearted , generous Americans. I am
told , though , that the Pueblos are
most excellent , industrious , honest ,
ignorant and harmless people that
they are as patient as the little don
keys they maul. The Pueblos are all
Catholics and have been turned over
by the interior department to the
Presbyterians. It seems to me almost
cruel to take advantage of n poor In
dian in that way. It is bad enough to
be a savage and a Presbyterian is too
much. Tlio Pueblos are now a good
sort of folks , but after the Presbyte
rians have had them in charge for a
few years they had bettor bo watched "
"How long a time do you think it
will probably take to thoroughly
Americanize the country ? "
"With the railroad
present connec
tions , and the mining interest growing
as it has for months , the territory
will become thoroughly Americanized.
I was told by a lawyer in Santa Fo
that the people _ are rapidly changing
in their ideas and habits. Modern
houses are being built , a splendid ho
tel is almost done at Santa Fo , and
thousands of improvements are t'oing
on. As soon as those poopla begin to
build good houses instead of wasting
time making crucifixes and walking
in religious processions , they will be
come Americanized. Now Mexico
needs less holy water and more rain ,
more sense and less religion , "
Tlio Levees of the Mississippi ,
In Louisiana the levee system is of
comparative antiquity , having had its
beginning in the earlier years of the
eighteenth century , and the embank
ments long ago came under the juris
diction of local and state government
and assumed the dignity ot public
works. In Mississippi and Arkansas ,
however , the reclamation of the swamp
was an enterprise of much moro mod
ern date , having its origin almost
within memory of persons now living ,
and , at first and , indeed , for n long
time it was exploited solely by indi *
vidual eflbrt.
The earlier settlements on the river
between Memphis and Vicksburg
generally wood-yards with small ap
purtenant cornfields wore made upon
unusually high spots , which , although
really formed by antecedent inunda
tion , obtained , absurdly enough , the
reputation of being "above overflow , "
because , for a number of years , they
had not been actually submerged.
They wuro prized accordingly , and the
corn-fields of the wood-choppers wore
gradually transformed into cotton
plantations , at n'rat , of course , of very
limited dimensions. Similar elevated
spots wore sought out and subjected
to culture , and , before any leveeing
operations had been attempted ,
the river bank on both siiVos was dot ;
ted with settlements of pjoheer plant
ers , who sought to utilize' the fertile
soil by cultivation. A very few years
however , sufficed to demonstrate the
fftll.icy of the "above-overflow" pro'
tensionjtho planter's mind relinquished
the delusion that land should bo high ,
it was sufticicnt that it should bo dry ,
and the proprietors deemed it exped
ient to fortify against their common
enemy. The water-marks left by the
tlood upon trees , stumps and fences
were aa plain as paint ; these indicated
the level of the water and supplied
the want of engineering science. A
make-shift levee of primitive style
was constructed , verj * near the river
bank , because less land was thereby
thrown out , and because the ground
is always highest , upon the margin of
the river , sloping thcnco inland. As
tlio plantations in number and ap
proximated each other , the principle
of co-operation appeared ; levees
Were built across unoccupied lands
until there were disconnected strings ,
Ion , twelve , or fifteen miles long.
The construction of these was far from
satisfactory. The operatives were
generally the plantation negroes. At
that time the Irish ditchers and lovoo-
Guilders had scarcely made their aji-
pearauco in the country * 1'ljo colored
people are not usually distinguished
for their skill in the use of the
spade , and cannot at all compote with
the Hibernian. Some years thoi o was
liigh water , carrying dismay to the
planter's heart ; some years there was
low water , inspiring confidence and
security ; occasionally there was no
"water" at ad the river did
not got out of its banks ,
and was therefore held in
contempt. In 1844 , however , the
Mississippi , having apparently lost all
patience with this persistent intrtsion
upon its domains , "spread itself. ' to
use a vulgarism singularly descriptive
nf the operation , and treated its un
bidden guests to a firstclass"big
overflow , " the like of which had not
been seen since 1828. The river rose
early and went down late , it over
flowed the whole country , and filled
up the entire swamp ; ruined all the
levees , great and small ; remained at
or near high water mark week after
week and month after month until
late in July , and did not finally retire -
tire within its banks until nearly the
niiddlo of August. [ From an illus
trated article by William L. Murfroo ,
Sr. , in Scribncr for July.
The Supornbnndoaico of Money.
New York U cnin ; Post.
Wo never remember the time when
first-class investments sold so high as
now , or , in other words , when first-
class borrower ) were able to obtain
money at such low rates. Yesterday
the state of Ohio borrowed 82,700,000
on bonds , the average length of time
of which is less than four years , at a
rate little above 3 per cent , annual in
terest , but the premium at which
they sold brings the rate which the
money costs the state down to a little
over 3 per cent. The telegraph re
ports that the state of Missouri recent
ly made a short temporary loan at
plain 3 per cent. The Now YorkNow
Haven & Hartford railroad company
recently borrowed $1,200,000 on its
Portchcster and Harlem railroad
branch nt 4 per cent. ; the Chicago ,
Burlington & Quincy railroad also re
cently sold $5,000,000 4 per cent ,
bonds , "which are now ruling at about
par. The Pennsylvania railroad com
pany have also recently issued a $70-
000,000 collateral trust loan , -socurerl
by their recent purchase of a control-
ing interest in the Philadelphia , Bal
timore tt Wilmington railroad compa
ny's stock , which boars 4 percent , and
which will doubtless be sought by in
yestors at par as soon as offered. There
is certainly no reason to look for dear
er money for several months ; on the
contrary , the extraordinary disburse
ment of the treasury during the next
six months , in connection with refund
ing , and which will probably amount
to not far from $100,000,000 , should
prepare money lenders for even lower
rates. Of course the time will como
when all this will bo changed , but at
present the country has moro coin
than over before , in having retained
the products of our. mines for several
years , and having received so much
foreign specie since the resumption of
specie payments. The United States
legal-tondor-noto circulation has not
been reduced and the bank note circu
lation was never so largo as now.
The Iiightuing-Rod Man ,
A " man" has
"lightning-rod brought
suit in Kentucky for the value of his
goods placed upon Mrs , Volner's
house under false pretenses , as she de
clared. Ono of his workmen testified
that ho had not positively been told to
put up the rod , but ho know a good
chance when lie saw ono , and never
throw it away. Ho told the lady ho
had put a lightning-rod upon the
house of Mrs , Hopkins , in JofForaon-
villo , but ho had not done so ; ho told
her BO in order to got the job , and ho
never know a lightning-rod man that
would not lie to got a job. The lady
herself testified that ho told her he
had put ono up on Mrs. Hopkin's
house , but it turned out that ho had
not , find the rod ho put up en her own
was lighter and poorer than the sam
ple ho showed her. Mr. Hopkins , the
lady's adviser and business man , then
testified as follows :
The lightning-rod agent caino to mo
and said ho wanted to put up a rod on
the house ; I told him I did not be
lieve in lightning rods. Ho asked mo
if I was related to Mrs. Hopkins , in
JcUuraonvillo. I said she was my
mother. "Well , " ho replied , "J put
up a rod upon her house. " I said
knew there had been none put up on
her house , Ho offered to go over with
mo right away and show it to mo.
told him ho was a liar , and if ho put a
rod upon Mrs.Volmor's house I would
tear it down , lie then went down ,
and somehow or other got Mrs , Vol-
mor to let him put it up. I wont over
to my mother's soon after and there
had never been a rod put upon her
house , Mr , Hopkins continuing , said
the lightning rod agent also went to
the carpenter who had charge of the
building of Mrs , Volmera house.
The carpenter told him that
ho was given charge of the
house , and that he would shoot the
first man who tried to put a lightning
rod upon it. The agent said ho would
put ono up if ho had to get a squad ol
police to protect him , Ho then wonl
to work and put the rod up , the car-
Senter supposing ho was authorized to
o so. When Mr. Hopkins found out
ho had lied about the matter , ho re
fused to ray for the rod , hen ox-
plaininp how the agent approached
him , Mr , Hopkins grew very excited
and said : "Ho just tried to bully mo
down , and contended with all of us
that ho had put a rod upon iny
mother's house , and said if wo let him
put up ono on Mrs. Volmor's hotisoho
would pull it down and not charge for
it if wo found out there was not one
on my mother's house. "
Notwithstanding this testimony the
justice of the peace decided in favor
of the lightning rod man , nnd the case
will bo taken to a higher court.
Dlod n Tramp.
General llosseau's son died recently
in a poor-house in Massachusetts. 1 to
liad deserted from the regular army
and became a poor , miser.iblo tramp.
It is the old story. General Rossoun
was for many years an Indianian , and
at 0110 time a member of the legisla
ture. Ho was a brilliant man , of
splendid physique and bearing. It
lias been said that ho was the most
magnificent looking ollicer in the ser
vice. To such a man the future
seemed ever bright. It was eaty for
liim to achieve what less gifted men
labored in vain to accomplish. And
yet ho could not save his boy from the
lifo of a tramp nnd n death in the
poor-house. It was easy to supply
liim with money to give him advan
tages auch as few boys get to make
room for him in the government ser
vice , but it was not possible to make
x man ot him. The case is not nccu-
liar. It is one of thousands , and an
awful lesson to fathers. A time comes
when money , friends , education avail
nothing to counteract the mistake of
the parent in the boyhood of his child.
It is said that among thu tramps and
outcasts of the country moiv owe
their condition to ovor-indulgenco in
youth than to poverty nnd hardships.
Statistics on this point , accurately
made up , would tell an awful tale. No
sermon or lecture could equal it. The
father , made sturdy and strong by a
youth of poverty , in his ignorance
and fondness proceeds deliberately to
ruin his children. The labor that
made him a man is regarded as dis
graceful to his children. The lessons
that poverty taught him are never
taught his children , and prodigality
and dissipation follow. Ono can but
think of General Eousscau a few years
since in the flower of manhood , a man
among a million , glorious to look up
on , and his poor boy to-day dies a
wretched tramp in a poor-house. Who
shall say where the blame rests ?
NEAR VERA CRUZ.
Lifo and Scones Near the Romantic
Mexican City.
I'rom tlio Iloston Aih crtIser.
At the little town of Huamantia ,
8,000 feet above the sea level , is the
highest altitude reached by the road ,
Surrounded by extensive plateaux ,
and looking so much like landscape at
an ordinary level , it was diflicult to
realize our elevation. The vegetation
is very .scant and burned , owing to
the long dry season. In many places
wp saw the dust caught up by the
wind in long swirls like columns and
carried hundreds of feet straight up
into the air. Some tobacco is grown ,
but it looks feeble ; also peanuts and
barley. But the staple product is
the maguey plant , which has some
what the appearance < of the
century plant , and I think must bo -
long to the cactus family. Wo passed
through miles and miles of maguey
farms , and saw over now and than the
pleasant white haciendas , each look
ing largo enough to shelter a village
full of people and sufficiently fortified
to resist an army. In them dwell the
owners of the ranches and their .de
pendents. From the magnoy plant is
made the pulque or native wine of the
country. The plant is allowed to at
tain from five to six years' growth ,
then the heart is cut out , nnd the sap
which flows freely from it is caught in
skins and thrown into huge vats for
fermentation. It docs not keep long ,
and looks and tastes like sour milk
whey sufl'ering from old ago ; but I am
told it is very healthy , taken as
a beverage m moderate quail
titles. It is quite inexpensive , as ;
man can got happy drunk p i two
cents' worth , and limiting drunk foi
three cents. It is carried about in
sheepskins , on the backs of vhe. na
tives , through ( ho streets , for sale by
the drink. The best quality is made
at Indian City , on the plains of Assam.
The trade is under the protection ol
the government , which receive n largo
revenue Ihorof rom. The freight alone
received by the Mexican railway for
the transportation of pulquo amounts
to fifteen hundred dollars daily. They
are now trying to improve the manufacture
facturo to make it available for ox
portution. Besides the many
wayside crosses along the route ,
where each devout wayfarer
leaves a etono and a prayer to the
moinorjr of the departed soul whoso
body lies beneath , there are two
tombs worthy of long study. They
i ro supposed to be the two oldest pyr
amids in the world the pyramid of
the Sun and the pyramid of the Moon
built before the time of the Aztecs ,
and connected by a road called the
Itoad of Death and also by a subterra
nean passage which is said to pass un
der the village of Cholula , near which
they are situated. The train nt that
station ia infested with relio
merchants , who will sell
you a little dish full of
disintegrated idols for anywhere from
a few centavos up to n peso , according
to your credulity. Those old pro-Az
tecs must have been an industrious
people to have built idols enough to
supply the trade from that date up to
the present time , and there docs not
seem yet to bo any diminution of the
stock iu hand. I am afraid the poor
Indians ' ' . who at present inhabit
Gholula do not know anything about
the punishment that is likely to befall
the makers of graven images.
Haunted Mo.
Clirittlan Advocate ,
Aworkingman says ; "Debt , poverty
orty and Bulforring haunted ino for
years , caused by u sick family and
largo bills for doctoring which did no
good. I was completely discouraged ,
until one year ago , by the advice of
my pastor , I procurred Hop Hitters ,
and commenced their use , and in one
month wo were all well ; and none of
us have been , sick a day since ; and
want to say to all poor men , you can
keep your families , well a year with
Hop IJitters for less than one doctor's
visit will cost. " ' " ebd-jyl
