the same pin pose in the fut lire. And
until thai does take place, it will not
be very desirable to 1 ve in the citr.
especial;? during the rainy season.
Winn I was thoie m:iiio of the
streets were entirely inundated from
the effects of hard ia:n, and in the
paltio of the hotel the water was a
foot deep several mornings. It is
nothing uncommon to see them at
work with a pump emptying the
[list door rooms. Of course this i
only during the rainy season, and is
niee and pleasant at other times.
Notwithstanding al 1 this I thiuk 1
'.fculd like to live in the city of M.,
for it is a pretty place. It. is not as
pretty as I expected to see it. There
is a lake in the same valley, and th*
level of the water is ten feet higher
than the streets of the city, and
nothing to hold it but a large dam.
which the papers say is in danger at
present of giving away, caused by
tlie many heavy rains that they have
had lately. There is a gauge in the
city that shows the height of the wa
ter a l the time. Ihe city has been
inundated several times by that
source, and I saw the mark on some
of the business buildings to show
how high the water was. and it w;t
six or seven feet high. I don't mean
that I saw the mark that the water
left, but a mark that was made by
the owners of the buildings. I stop
ped at the best hotel in the city, and
th* beds were iron frames with tv.*o
heavy planks, an 1 a thin, hard mat-
U e--. and a little slim, hard cotton
pillow. That is what T call solid
comfoit. I saw the "Jockey dub.
