Colonel William P. Craighill , Uni
ted States engineer , returned fron
Yorktown , Vix. , this morning , when
ho has been looking after tho"progress
of arrangements lor the centennial
celebration at that place. At the re *
quest of the congressional "Yorktowr
centennial commission" for an olltcei
of the engineer corps to aid them in
the work necessary for a proper na
tional observance of the one-hun
dredth anniversary of the surrender ,
Colonel Craighill was named and detailed -
tailed by the secretary of war for that
purpose , and also lo superintend the
construction and erection of Iho mon
ument provided for by congress. Up
to this time progiess in the work has
not been advanced rapidly , owing to
the fact of a general impression that
the display and observances of the
occasion would depend in a great
measure upon the assured convales
cence of the president and the addi
tional fact that the amount 520,000
appropriated by congress was insulli-
cient to meet expenses absolutely
necessary to bo incurred.
THE SI01IT SELECTED.
Work is now progressing moro expeditiously -
peditiously and satisfactorily. The
sight selected is on a blutf overlook
ing the river , adjoining and below the
village boundary line , 'only a deep ra
vine , extending from the foot of the
Mull' and gradually diminishing until
it reaches the level plain , distant a
few hundred feet , intervening. Fac
ing the river , andlooking to the right ,
castwardly , the view is unobstructed
to the Capes of Virginia , distant about
twenty-eight miles. In front , north
wardly , the view is directly across the
river to Gloucester Point and over
Gloucester county. To the left ,
northwardly , up the broad river in a
direct line to West Point , is the junc
tion of the P.ununkey and Mattaponi
rivera , which form the York. The
other vioo" , southward , will overlook
tho'plains of Yorktown. When erect
ed , the monument will bedistintly visi-
blcfrom all vessels passingup and down
Chesapeake Jiay. The hind purchased
by the government for $1,000 em
braces six acres and lies just within
what were the British lines. The
foundations for the base of the
monument hag boon dug a nd filled in
with granite concrete. The corner
stone of granite , taken from the
Richmond quarries , the same from
which the stone uaed for the state ,
war and navy department buildings
at Washington was taken , is on the
ground , ready t3 bo lowered in posi
tion for Masonic ceremonies.
PEDEUAL AND STATK THOOl'.S.
The encampment of United States
troops and State military and Mason
ic societies will be on the Temple
farm , about a mile and a half distant
I y from the monument site. It is an
open field , nearly level , but with suf
ficient undulation for proper drainage
and well adapted to army encamp
ment. In position , the regulars will
occupy the right of the field , and Gen
eral Hancock's headquarters will be
here. The same ground was occupied
by Washington's line ono hundred
years ago , and by General McClellan's
army in 1802. On this field from
1,200 to 1,500 tents , each sheltering
fifteen men , and furnished by the
War Department , will bo erected.
Fresh water in ample quantity will bo
supplied from Wormloy crock. It
\ will be raised into tanks by two en
gines of thirty-horno power each and
distiibutcd throughout the camp , for
which purpose ton thousand feet of
pipe will be used. It is estimated
that about 25,000 military and 5,000
Masons will bo in tents. For the ac
commodation of the executive officers
of the Government , members of the
Cabinet , the Congressional Commis
sion , and distinguished guests , a re
ception building 100 feet long and CO
feet wide is being built. It will con
tain a room for the Commission , ono
for the Secretary of State , ono for la
dies , but a largo part of the space will
bo taken up for purposes of entertain
ment. This building is only a few
feet from the site.
FUENCH ( iUESTS AND THE OLD NELSON
HOUSE.
In addition the Commission has
rented the old Nelson House , which
is undergoing thorough repair and is
said to bo intended for the French
guests. Work is all going forward
under the personal superintendence
of Major L. C. Forsyth of the Quar
termaster's departmentwho has taken
uj ) his quarters at Yorktown. In ad
dition to these preparations by the
Congressional Commission , Iho Yorktown -
town Centennial Association , compos
ed of well-known citizens of the thir
teen original states , of which Hon.
John Geode of Virginia is chairman
and Col. Peyton of Now Jersey Gen
eral Superintendent , is also aiding the
Commission. As heretofore announc
cd , they have purchased the Temple
farm and tendered its use for camp
ing-ground. They have also renovat
ed and repaired from cellar to garret
the Moore House , which is on the
Temple farm. It will bo handsomely
carpeted and papered by Now York
and Philadelphia merchants and ten
dered to the Congressional Commis
sion for use by its guests. It was in
this house the articles of capitulation
were considered and agreed to , The
Association is also about erecting a
building 200 by 04 for hotel purposes ,
designed to accommodate 1,000 per
sons , with bods.
WHAT THE NATIVES HAVE DONE.
On thq part of the people of Yorktown -
town absolutely no preparations uro
being made. A little wooden shanty
1 with the words "Opoll Opera House"
over the entrance and a half-dozen
moro board huts for dispensing "Cool
Lager" have bocn nailed up and seem
to have exhausted tho. enterprise of
the natives. Engineers .Uraxton . .nd
Webb of the Chpspeako and Ohio
road mot Col. Craighill at Yorktown
yesterday and wont over the ground J
with tlio view of locating the onlranc
of their branch road. At present ( h
only way of reaching Yorktown fron
this city is by way of the York-rive
line of steamers. It was oxpectet
that forty-eight engineer soldiers an
lifty I'nllstedinen , ordered from Wil
lott's Point and West 1'oint by th
Secretary of War , would nrrivo a
Yorktown today and report to Cole
ncl Craighill.

I1o < t.
Next to his comfortable homo an
the churches , the Mexican is proudes
of Ins " 1'ascos" and the "Alamodn ,
On the Pascos wo see the high life o
the metropolis the nnjier thousand
moving up and down in their ear
riages. The 1'ascos of Mexico hav
much in common with the monoton ;
of Prado atMadrid ? with the oxcoptioi
that on the t'r.ido in M-ulnd wo sou
real aristocracy , beautiful faces , elegan
carriages , splendid horses and lin
riders , while on the Pa eo evorythin ;
is too much in imitation of what real
ly is in the Bois do Honlngno or Con
tr.il Park. The horses walk or pace
the carriages arc occupied by lutl
Parisian , half New Yoik toilets ; wo
seldom see a gentleman in the company
of ladies , but thu eastern law of so
elusion seeiub to exist yet in the soeiu
ty of the capital of the republic
Only a few pedestrians are to be seel
on the Pascos in the piouienadcs , a
walking is yet looked at as low work
by Mexican society.
Outdoor life in the city presents the
mark of idleness , as loaiurs and loun
gers outnumber these passing alonj ,
the street that are bound on some er
rand or engaged in any serious ixfl'.iira
The famous Lizzaroni of .Naples ant
Pulermo may bo abused , but they are
line fellows indeed compared with the
drowsy rabble of MOMCO , who ( mo.'itlj
u/jly / looking Indians or dirty-skinnet
Mostincos ; ) lack entirely the charms o
the beautiful futures and the ehilklike
liappy and thoughtless character whicl
reconcile the traveler with the vices
of the dark-eyed and proud inhabit
u ts of the thoroughfares
and piazus of Naples and Palermo.
Phe goggle-eyed , gape-mouthed fel-
ows adorniijg the streets of the Mex-
.can capital are marked with the ox-
iression o stupidity or maliciousness ,
requcntly combining both traits.
Yet persons belonging to the better
society , as odicers , business men or
gentlemen , when crossing the streets ,
do scarcely give a brighter color to the
outdoor pictures , as most of them
walk very slowly or are fond of staini
ng for hours about the corners. Mat
rons and young ladies walk as slowly
as possible , as theyconsidor the slowest
vay of moving requisite for good man-
101 s. These who sot oil'at a good
round pace aio severely criticised and
> ointcd out as foreigners.
The dense population that is pressed
: ogothor in the valley of Mexico , and
-ho - country-liko character peculiar to
nany parts of the capital , bring al-
vays crowds of boorish people into
Moxico'o thoroughfares. Indiana of
niio blood , looking like disfigured
iypsies , aio constantly seen roving
ibout. Husband , wife and child are
-rotting the same slow pace , stooping
o the very ground and frequently car-
ying heavy loads , or the straw mat-
resscs onhich they have passed the
previous night , on their way
o the city. Passing the front
of some ancient church or a
decaying convent , wo see the grades
crowded with ugly looking Indian
women nursing their dirty little ur
chins. In the shade of some building
ro sco a happy family sharing the
'rugal ' meal , consisting of "tortillas"
a cake baked of Indian corn ) and
some fruits ; now and then they may
oven bo seen indulging in the luxury
of "trijolas1' ( reed beans ) , the nation-
il dish of the Mexicans ; not very far
rom the happy "at homo" wo not icon
crowd of shabby-looking young men
lying on the ground smoking and gam
bling at cards ; the monotony of the
play is now and then intoriupted by
wild curses or a blow at him who has
been found guilty of cheating his
drowsy companions.
Indians and Mestizos , the broad-
brimmed sombrero on their dust-cov
ered heads are leaning against the
walls of some "fonda" ( inn ) ; they are
shepherds or muleteers who have
brought cattle and goods from the in
terior and who are gazing at all the
splendors of the capital and beholding
the wonders of them. They are dar
ing looking fellows clad in dirty linen
clothing and a parti-colored shawJ ,
which they draw closely around their
neck and head when the wind DCL'ins
to blow , so that there is little to" beseem
seem of their defiant faces , Pick
pockets and thieves , wearing a mix
ture of national and foreign garb , are
seen spying out an opportunity favor
able to their profession.
Men and women of all ages and
complexions , boys and girls , besiege
the coil'eo houses , annoying the pedes
trian with their shrill voices , pressing
him to buy a lottery ticket and gain
the live or ten thousand "piros" that
are drawn on the coming morn ; ven
ders of matches and other tulles fol
low you stop by atop till you get rid
of them by spending a copper piece
or two , but only to be annoyed by
others who have watched your weak
ness and are anxious to have their
turn also. Moro pleasant than thoao
match and ticket sellers are those who
offer for sale small objects of art , as
waxen fruits of great beauty , artificial
( lowers and wooden and charcoal fig
ures of perfect workmanship ; tiny lit
tle figuresrepresontiin : scenes of every
day life ; beautiful birds on cardboard
and different kinds of feather work
are to bo obtained at very low prices.
A charming picture are the flower-
girls , who are busy composing their
abundant stock oftho finest flowers
into tasteful nosegays , in which wo
find a great variety of roses and the
ladies' favorite , the dark blue violet
flowers that nature offers us all the
year round , Tasteful garlands , flower
baskets that would make the NowYork
florist ravocharm the buyer's eyes ; nose
gays of all dimensions andthedclicato
flower for the dandy's button hole are
to bo purchased at very low prices.
For llowera the Mexican hag a well-
pleasing weakness , and the love of
[ lowers is ono of the qualities that the
paniard has inherited from his Moor
ish conquerors and has brought with
liim to Mexico. Old matrons and
young ladies , eying the passers-by from
the balcony , all Jmvo their hair and
dross adorned with fresh llovvois ,
The fruit vender makes a fine dis
play of his atock on the ground or in
! iis primitive shop. Apples , peara ,
strawberries , peaches , apricots , Turk
ish and Indian figs , tlie growth of tin
temperate clinu''nro to bo scon lymj
together with the golden orange , tin
yellow lemon , bananas , mangoes
and the delicious chirimoya , produc
tions of the torrid zone. These wlu
are fond of a cooling draught nmj
apply to ono of the numerous
water stands , where inolfdnivi
mixtures of water and ananas , lomoi
and other juices are served to tin
caller for two eonts a glass. While
sipping our nectar wo notice two 01
three old Indian women , half naked
who press with a round stone tin
juice out of the fruit. Chocolate and
cocoa are served as well at the stands
Traveling cooks with their two
wheeled kitchens are to be found ii
otery street , nnd they nerve ( huh
dishes to those who give them n call
yet n foreigner would scarcely be
pleased witlt the acid Spanish pippii
or the baked sweet potatoes and otfiei
dishes , ns they are gonor.Uly spieci
with a good deal of dirt ,
The place of wine i\t these outdoot
meals h taken by thu national bever
age , "pulque , " that is served bj
small boys and girls in earthen ves
sels. Pulque is the juice of a ki'id of
eaelus plant. After having under
gone a process of formcntation itis
consumed all over the countiy in large
quantities. The "pulquerias"
places where the nectar is served
are mostly taverns accessible by two
or the corner places oven l > j
four doors. A dozen primitive barrels
are placed behind a long bar , and the
liquid is taken out of the open bar
rch with vessels containing horn twi
to live gallons. In some quarters o !
the town nearly every fourth house
contains a pulquoria , and the place. "
are constantly patronized by i\ most
imposing number of customers , win
pour down a gallon or two at n
time , and arc seen 'tottering to the
public places , where they sleep oil
their fits of intoxication. Others are
quarrelling in the streets , and you
may witness every day some bloody
fight , or when going homo by twilight
you will perceive some dark body car
ried through the streets by four bare
footed Indians ; behind the company
is walking a police ofllcer , and when
inquiring what has happened you will
hear that the body is the corpse of a
murdered man who has yet enjoyed
the pernicious liquid an hour ago.
Taxation of CUuroli Property.
N , V. Itera'd.
The church property of the United
States amounts to about four hundred
million dollars in value. With slight
exceptions it has always been exempt
ed from taxation , But of Into there
las been a growing disposition to in
quire whether this exemption is not
wrong in principle and is not a source
of abuse. If the property is not taxed
jecauso the church renders the public
a great and educational service as nn
nstitution of religious worship , why ,
t isasked.should not a like exception
jo made in favor of coitain other
iroperty which is used for the inteiest
ind the advancement of the common
velfaie , but is novcrlcss taxed ? If
eligious property is exempted on the
round that . the church is a public
iharity the question aiiscs whether
nany churches are not private ehari-
ies and whether many are chanties
at all ? When a church is not free to
all comers , but is in effect for the cx-
clucivo benefit of these who own its
> ows nnd pay for its privilege's , it is
> pen to question whether it is any
nero of a public institution than a
> rivato school , n subscriblion library
> r a social club whether , in fact , it
s not a mere religious club. And
vhen a congregation lavishes money
on architecture , brilliant preaching
ind line music , while spending insig-
lificant sums in works of benevolence ,
ho claim of the church to being con-
idcrod a charity is notrather fecblo.
Another serious objection to the
xemption enjoyed by religious organ-
Aitions , and one which , in fact , often
amounts to an abuse , is the the gross
nequalitics in the value of the proper-
y exempted. Hero is an edifice that
est half n million and there is ono
vorth fifty thousand. The congre-
'ation of the former does no more
iiiblio good or no greater work of
harity that that of the latter , but it
lolds free from tax a property twenty
hues as great , The llov. Edward
Everett Halo maintains that the
hurch has no claim to exemption
rom taxation except on the ground
hat it is a public charity and to the
xtont that it is a public charity ,
lis test of whether any church is a
ublie charity and to what extent it is
o is the. amount of money which it
xponds in charity poor relief , hos-
> itnls , asylums , fcc. outside its own
ongrogation. Ho would take all
hurchos in form and exempt these
vhich proved their right to oxemp
ion. This suggestion is worthy of
onsiderution. JJut wo think that
very church should have duo credit
or charitable work done among its
wn people as well as that done out-
ide. If a religious organization takes
are of its own helpless and needy
ependonts or these of its own do-
omination it does a good public
rork.
