LOVE TAUGHT BOYS MEXICAN TONGUE EDITOR'S NOTE.

This is the fourth of a series of articles on Mexico before the Civil war. By J. W. FOLEY Reaching the Grande at Fort Quitman the road continued up the, stream, until Fort Bliss was which was garrisoned by two companies of the 5th U. S.

infantry. EI Paso, on the Mexican side, was then I the seat of the Republican ment of that country President ez was a resident, the army of Maximilion having driven him to that city. The city was small, the buildings ing built of sun-dried brick the lation was mostly Mexican. The Mixican cause at this time looked less, yet in the following summer, when nearing San Antonio from the northern frontier, we saw a Mexican coming towards us waiving his hat and yelling with a lound voice: "Maximilion dead." Many of the French soldiers had serted and crossed over to the United States and had joined our army the leader of the band at Bliss was one, and, while he could not speak lish, he taught the band in Spanish, for about all the American soldiers could speak that language. It was said to be easy for them to learn cause it was love which taught, and the Mexican girls were the teachers.

The close of our Civil war sounded the death knell of an Austrian in Mexico, when thousands of well seasoned troops were sent to Texas and many of them stationed on the lower Rio Grande, where they were retained until the summer of 1866. We think it was General Sheridan who tells, in his life, about the officer in command of our troops at ville giving furloughs to our soldiers, with permission to take their arms along, and how they fought in the Mexican army at Matamoras against the French and Austrians. Whether Sheridan, or not, the circumstance is an historical fact. Some historian has written that the Spaniards stroyed a higher civilization in ico than the one he forced upon the country. Aside from the human fices, this is only too true.

But were these human sacrifices, where the Jieart was torn from the living victim, more cruel than many things done in so-called civilized Christian countries, and in the cause of the Christian ligion? If anything, civilization in Mexico has retrograded in the 200 years last past. What strange thoughts the poor Mexicans and Peruviana must have had about the Spaniards who taught the love of God for his children while at the same time they slaughtered the people, destroyed their cities, robbed them of their gold and burned the Inca while they tendered the blem of Salvation to kiss? Twenty miles before reaching Bliss we came to the first settlement since leaving Fort Clark, a small Mexican town called San Elizaro, and short distance from there came to Ysleta and Secora. All these towns were settled by what was said to be scendants of the Pueblo Indians, whose mode of life was most primi tive grass was cut with the hoe: plowing was done with a stick not one dwelling had glass windows small parcels of land were irrigated and cultivated, and fences were made of dried mud. Each village had its church, but no school the only ing received was from the village pastor not a newspaper was ever seen or read, nor was a book seen in any house. Of the outside world and its people they knew nothing.

They were childlike in their simplicity. During the 200 years of the tion left by the Spaniard, they had made no advance. From those who were familiar with the majority of the people of Mexico, we were ed that these people were, if anything, in advance in civilization. Such are the people whom our Schoolmaster President wants given the privilege of a free election and to form a stable government, while he and a cowardly congress allow a mob to dictate what laws shall be passed to please four hundred thousand men out of over one hundred million. sistency thou art.
