M. Tlerna.i, a Former ReHlde.it of Asheville, Now Civ. Inil" Mexico, Talks ol His New Home to "The CltUeu." Several years ago Prof. J. M. Tiernan, who had been engaged for some time in scientific work in Western North Caro lina, with Asheville as his base of opera tions, accepted an invitation to take supervising charge of a series of rich sil ver mines in the republic of Mexico. He left soon after the acceptance of his ap pointment for the scene of his duties, ac companied by his bride, the well known and universally admired ' Christian Reid," of the "Land of the Sky, "in more familiar name, Miss Fannie Fisher, of Salisbury. Mr. Tiernan has now lived between lour and five years in Mexico, and is now at home on a briet visit, proposing to re turn about the middle of this month. He spent two or three days in Asheville, and it was our irood fortune to meet him and obtain from him much of inter- estine information regarding the coun- trv in which he now lives, its people, their character and pursuits, its mineral wealth, its general resources and its fu ture prospects. PUvsieal Features of the Country. The portion of Mexico most familiar to the experience of Mr. Tiernan is that long, wide and relatively level table land which is encountered on entering the republic at HI I'nso.and extending down nearly to the City of Mexico. Its eleva- tion is about 7,000 feet above the level of the sen, and its uniformity of surface uflcrs no obstacle to the construction of lines of lailroad from north to south Hut the construction of lines east and west is attended with enormous ailhcul ties; lor, independent of the difficulties ol the desceut to sea level, enormous ranges of lofty mountains interpose; and to these obstacles must be added the sud den and deep descent of the barrancas or canyons, which, running from north to south in continuous line of from sixty to eighty miles, split the level plain into chasms of from a few yards to several hundred yards in width, and sometimes LYCEUM MEETING.

The Aull-dub-Treasury Leaders Tell Them Not to be Commit ted, Compromised or Entangled Politically. Jackson, Miss., Feb. 3. Hon. Wm. S. McAlister, chairman of the national anti-sub-treasury alliance, has promul gated the following paper from Hon. U. S. Hall, a member of his committee, to the members in Missouri, and makes it general : HumiARD, Mo., Feb. 1, 1891. To tbe Membert of the Farmers and La borers' Union of Missouri: Brothers Be on your guard. Do not allow yourselves to be committed or compromised or entangled politically. The meeting that is to be held in St. Leuis, Mo., on the 2 2nd of this month under the so-called authority of the Na tional farmers' alliance, is tor that sole purpose. We did not allow that body to dictate to us how we should vote nor commit or bind us by recommendation or otherwise to any political pnrly, and any attempt to do so is without au thority ami is a violation ot every prin pie ol our order.

Along this great longitudinal plateau tends the great farming area of Mcii . The soil is of volcanic origin, light and friablr, and of great fertility. It is ithout stone or other obstructions to the plough. This is bare of forest, abso lutely treeless, except the artihciul growth of ornamental and fruit trees. 1 ne cropsin cuiuvuuuu are mc grains oi the temperate zone and coffee, cotton and tobacco, the crops ol winch are all ex uberant. Fruits of great variety and excellence abound through the year. The oranges ol Guudalaxara are highly es teemed, and are largely cultivated: and since the construction ot railroads arc now exported in large quantities, the product ol the groves ot that state being nder the control oi a imcago synai cate. Farming;. In Mexico there is no such thing as country or rural life, as we know it; no small farms or isolated dwelling places. The hacienda svstem is universal. The lands are owned in large bodies by enlthy proprietors, and are divided nto holdings of from 8,000 to 20,000 acres. These holdings are canca nacicn das; and at a convenient point on each the mansion ol the proprietor, sur rounded bv the farm houses, stables, cat tie sheds; and also by the habitations ol the neon laborers, lliese consist ex- lusivelv of the Indians, descendants ot the original Aztecs, differing trom the North American Indian in the tact that they are subordinated to the habits of In Dor, patient, inaustrious, iminsiuKing, orderlv and cheerlul. 1'eonage is only nother name tor a moninea lorm ot slavery; for the peons never or rarely leave tneervice in wnicn tney engage; and a humane and pleasing patriarchal relation continues through lite between master and employe. A pleasing expres sionoftbis kindly relationship between the two is the perpetual custom ot the oeon laborer.every morning belorc going off to the daily task, ol serenading the master of the estate, it he be at home with the simnle music of the guitar, and of repeating the same at night at the hour ot retirement. These Indians constitute the laborers of nil Mexico. There are no negroes. nd there is a hostile feeling against their introduction. The Mexican Indian is shorter in fiirure. stouter in body, ot greuter muscular development, of greater endurance than tne in..iau oi our repuo' lie. Their complexions are darker, with' out the typical copper tinge ot our. In dians: and though unquestionably cog nate races, nresent certain marked oir ferences, mentally us well as physi callv. Education, Mr. Tiernan surprised us by the infor mation that education is more generally diffused throughout Mexico than in the United State!', ami the Indians are all familiar with the rudimentary branches. Amonir the higher classes education is carried to its highest limits; and the pro fessions are tilled with men as tully and well equipped as any where among civilized people. The judiciary and the bnr arc quitecqunl to that ol any country. The people have niatural aptitude for the tine art and excel in painting, sculp ture and music. The language, even of the Indians, is Spanish, except in some of the more remote or mountain provinces, where the native Aztec, or older Tultec tongue survives. English istnught in the schools, indicative of the friendly feeling existing towards the United States; perhaps, of the hoie8 cherished of future closer rela tions between the two republics. Taxation. The government levies no taxes on lands or mining property, its revenues being derived chiefly from duties levied on imports, excise duties upon domestic productions, and a tax of one tenth of one per cent, levied on bullion, the pro duct of the mines. Mining. This is the paramount industry of the country, as it has been since the days of the conquest. It is conBned chiefly to Washington, Feb. 3. In the senate, Mr. Dolph, trom the committee on for eign relations, reported back adversely various anti-Chinese bills introduced and referred at the present session and reported in lieu ot them a bill continu- ng in force lor ten years all laws now in force, prohibiting and regulating the coming into this country ol Chinese per sons and of persons of Chinese descent. A loint resolution proposing an amend ment to the constitutiou ol the United States relating to marriage and divorce, heretolore introduced by Mr. Kyle, was taken up and Mr. Kyle addressed the senate in support of it. That members ot the house are becom ing somewhat weary of the long discus sion over the rules was evinced this morning by the small attendance when the speaker called the body to order. The house resumed consideration ol the rules. The pending motion was that made by Mr. Baatner, of Louisiana, striking out the clause permitting gen eral legislation on appropriation bills, providing that, being germane, it re trench expenditure. The Police are Forced to Use Clubs In Order to Subdue Them No Fatalities) Reported, but Mauv More Heads. Boston, Feb. 3. An outbreak is re ported this morning among the prison ers at Deer Island. Fifty policemen have beeu sent from this city to the scene. This is the second riotous demonstration that has occurred in that institution within a few weeks. The first news of the trouble was re ceived by Deputy Superintendent Holio Burriel in the form of a telephone mes sage from Superintendent Genish at the Island. It stated that the men refused to work when ordered to at 7 o'clock and were threatening the officers' lives. A detail of men from the various sta tions were immediaeely sent down on a police boat and their arrival there was announced by Capt. Bragdon, who has notified headquarters that more men were needed, and that the trouble was serious. Additional assistance was sent. The captain gave uo further details of the riot in his message, and nothing definite is known here of the extentof the trouble. The reserved police have been ordered in readiness for immediate service. Superintendent of police Elridge has received a despatch trom Lapt. Bragdon of the Harbor police, who had charge ot the police sent to the Island. Ue states that when the police arrived at Deer Island a large number of eonyicts were gathered in LckiLts hall, and that a request for them to keep quiet and go about their work was not sufficient, and that then they began making a horrible tumult and threatened the police who numbered about 60. The police drew their clubs and in a short time, according to Capt. Bragdon s statement, put the mob under subjection. According to the captain s statement the policemen had to use a great deal ot force and many prisoners have sore and badly cut heads. 1 wenty-hve ol the otheers were sent back to Boston and the others will re main during the day. 1 he retractory prisoners are now locked up in their cells.

Advices ceived from the city of Pueblo, capital of the state of Pueblo, seventy-six miles southeast of the city of Mexico says that a financial andcommercial crisis prevails there and many business houses have closed their doors. Much dissatisfaction is expressed with the local and federal authorities. The clerical purtv, which is in a large majority in Pueblo, is still sore over the late attempt to drive the monks trom their cloisters and it is said that it the bishop had not ad vocatee pru dence the people would have risen en masse and overpowered the troops and authorities.

Yesterday afternoon as Motorman I Sell and and Conductor Price, of the Lookout mountain line, were on their regular trip from the square, their car came into contact with the business end of a mule, near the Farmer's warehouse.

Ward Watttrbury, nn eight year old boy who was abducted near Long Kidge, Connecticut, on Monday last, was re turned to bis parents this morning. The secretary of war reported to the senate that the militia force of the Unit ed States is 111,948 officers and enlisted men. The number of men in thecountry available for military duty is 8,567,258. A North Carolina tourist in Cuba bad his watch stolen on the street. In less than two hours a police judge had sen tesced the robber to three years impris onment. He also awarded the North Carolinian $23 damages for tbe injury sustained by his watch in the struggle tor its possession, and ordered the con vict to work it out. FOREIGN. One immediate result of the recent trouble between tbe United States and Chili is that the latter country, feeling how defenceless she would have been in the event uf the United States landing troops at Iquinue, has taken steps to cure a loan of $5,000,000 to be applied to building a railroad from Valparaiso to Iquique, a distance ot one thousand miles.
