MEXICAN INDIANS. Statesmen, Soldiers, Jurists and Poets in the Lst. Life Am tin Peom Who Work in tha A City of Mexico letter to the Chicago Jlerahl mentions some of Mexico's civil ized Indian3 who have achieved distinc tion. : Among them are the late patriot, President Juarez; the present President, General Diaz; the Indian judge, Alti- mirano, wno is a so apoec ana Historian; Itamcrez, an Indian scientist, and oth ers. Continuing, the correspondent says: 1 I might mention a score of "learned" Indians who Avould be an honor to any country.

The poor, Ottomie "emigrant?, , being utterly ignorant of the Spanish language, usually feel very unhappy . here for awlulc, but they are intelligent, and in the course of time gain a foothold which they studiously maintain, for they aro honest and soon inspire confidence.

This belief they still .retain; nevertheless their religion is part ly that practiced by their Ottomie ances tors and is also imbued with soaie of the milder Aztec superstitions. In fraternal love and Christian charity these mountaineers surpass us for ex- . ample, every Saturday each ab!e-b,odied man, woman, grown boy and girl leaves his or her grounds or usual avocations and all, under the direction of "the venerable fathers and mothers," devote that entire day to tli3 cu ture of the lands . belon"in to the widows and young orphans, or else to laboring for the benefit of the old, sick, blind and helpless members of the community In order to attain the dignity of "patriarch" a man must submit to "a judgment," or a review of all hU past life, and will only be elected if, upon strict investiga tion, rt is proved ithat during youth and curly ; manhood he has been honest, laborious, and truthful. A matriarch must be a respect '. b'.e woman who has brought up a large f ami ly properly and has never been known to steal, or to have bebn addicted to lvinr or gossiping. ... , ; Through the Jesuits these Ottome , Indians long ago' learned the existence of a reat city, which replaced Teno chtitlan, the far-famed capital of the 3Iontezumns, and at times some am bitious youth yearns to seek fortune there; or, perchance, some father of a large family, fearing that his allotment of -land - will not support allv is willing to allow his eldest or second son to go out into the world.

General Emory's Boot. Mosby, who has returned from enjoy ing the salary of a well paid United .States Consulate in Clfina for several years, is now at San Francisco writing his war reminiscences. He was an-auda-cious trooper and showed no mercy to his Union prisoners. Among other stories f - 1 0 - - told of his audacity is one about his per formances just before the 1 attle of Win chester, when, with a dozen of his men disguised in', blue overcoats, he would ride into a Union camp or picket, fire a volley and gallop tff. One evening after jthchait of the army for the day, just' after the headquarter tents had been put up, a dozen of these reckless fellows rode at full gallop through the space en closed by the tents of 'General Emory's ueadquarters, fired half a . dozen shots, nnd were off before the astonished cap tain of the guard could order his i com pany to take arms. The general heard the commotion and camo out; and learu ingiow narrow had been his escape from capture, he poured Out the vials of lm wrath upon the head of the unlucky captain. "Confusion, sir," he roared, "do you call this guarding my hcadquar terst Those- scoundrels might' have stolen my boots as 'easily as j not."
