THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1889.
Desiring to visit the City of San Luis Potosi we found that the Mexican Central railway-ir only open for part of the way, the remainder being under construction. By the courtesy of the railway officials we were enabled to travel by one of the pay-day trains and had an oppor.. unity of seeing a large number of Mexican
narvies "and-viewing their work. The work is well executed, and the navvies generally are as fine a class of men as can be found on similar undertakings in Europe and there appeared to be a thoroughly good feeling between employers, and employed.
schooner, built by a house carpenter and scooper, large city with mines-of-silver and gold, worked with ten men on, board, also came from San above, below, and within the city, and largely Francisco. She was afterwards sold in Yokohama owned and managed by Mexicans with highly and lengthened by her new owner. She made successful results. In a few hours we rolled into one. very successful voyage, but, on returning Aguas Callentes our first abiding place in from her second trip with nearly 200 skins on Mexico. On our arrival we found a well- board, was lost and never heard of more. The appointed station with framcars from its platform Dolphin and the Myrtle bad to sail over 5,coo to the hotel doors, and a residence of some time miles before they reached Iterup, by the round, in town only proved the courteous kindness of about way they had to take. A sloop was once its inhabitants, and the absolute safety of its fitted out in Hakodate and inlled with thice men streets and suburbs. The town is very beautiful on board. After having safely arrived at Japnd some day the establishment of a good hotel- Bay, the crew went on board another vessel, and baths is sure to develop it into an one evening at alime when it was blowing pretty admirable winter resort.- fresh, to pay a friendly visit, leaving their own vessel to take care of itself. After a couple of hours spent in the cabin of the frendly schooner they came on deck, but no sign was ever after seen of the sloop, except a few pieces of her planking subsequently discovered on the beach. Another sloop was fitted out (?) in Yokohama, with not even an old musket on board. They, probably, intended to catch the oiters with the proverbial "pinch of salt." She came to, grief before reaching the happy hunting grounds. And as for the well known Hakafuni, there were enough adventures in her career before she started otter hunting to furnish Clark Russell with material for half a dozen novels; after repeatedly making successful voyages, both winter and summer, she had at last to succumb to old age, and was abandoned, in Clam Bay, in the Island of Shikotan. This vessel had a kind of fascination for the Japanese sailors, as she could always command the best men, when better fitted and more comfortable schooners bad to take what they could get's she was supposed to be under the special protection of the gods, and consequently "lucky". Many more old rattle traps could be referred to, all of which came to an untimely end, generally with loss of life. How many of the old otter-hunters now remain ? Very few. Indeed; they have nearly all joined the majority, and most of them with their boots on. The motive which induced. otherwise sensible mèn to risk their lives over and over again, was the love of lucre, but I must say ..it of a fou, also, real love of sport and adventure. The time has passed when fortunes can be made by otter-hunting alone; the few remaining schooners, hailing from Yokohama, have to resort to all kinds of questionable dodges to make enough to pay their expenses. In a few years more, otters will be probably exterminated, and the Kurile Islands will then be left in their original solitude, until the far away future when the open Polar Sea will be discovered by another adventurous Captain Hatteras with pale maniacs to back him; when Behring's Sirait will be the highway of nations, and like the English channel, crowded with ships; and when flourish ing coinnics will be established on the Islands, and lighthouses and beacons crown the prominent points and rocks; then, and not until then, will the Kurile Islands hay commercial value to the Japanese-Japan Mail,
LIFE AND TRAVEL IN MEXICO.
The following description of a visit to Mexico from the peri of an English traveller will be read ...with interest :--
On leaving London for a sojourn lo this country of some month's duration, I received so many warnings regarding the want of security for life and capital in Mexico, and concerning other evils here, that I nearly, gave up my intention of spending the winter in this country, On arrival in the United States of America, I found the same advice given me, and I conse- quently entered Mexico with much doubt and anxiety, all of which very rapidly disappeared before the results of facts, and it has occurred to me that a plain narrative of what I find to be the state of affairs in Mexico may be serviceable to the public

There is no hotel at Salinas, but we experienced farge-hearted hospitality at the Hacienda de Salinas, where, solitary in the Mexican plains, we found a princely establishspent with the luxuries of Europe. For two days we drove through mountain ranges and plains to Sam Louis Potosi, a continued scene of rugged beauty alternated with parklike stretches thickly covered with date palms and the magucy or pulque plant, and supporting herds of fat cattle, and droves-of-sheep-Remembering-all-the-tales. we had heard of Mexican outrages we did fear this solitary journey of 80 miles through the mountains. We, therefore, carefully loaded ap our rifles and revolvers and laid then M
out in our carriage for very instant use, but, we only found hospitality and kindness from all, from the rich baciendada to the poor Indian women at the road side, who gave us a calabash of pulque, and hurried away to avoid a payment. Such are the Mexicans as a people. Evil deeds do occur, but as a people their character is honest, kiedis, and very tractable, their greatest sin being delay and a love of deferring the work of to-day until to-morrow, We reached San Luis Potosi with the clear impression that we would sooner drive, through the wilds of Mexico than risk the Thames embankment alone at midnight.
San Luis Potosi, capital of the state, hat some 50,000 inhabitants and is a well bailt, clean town with an almost perfect climate. The town has only just obtained railway communication with the outer-world. by the completion of the Mexican National Railway (narrow gauge). while the Mexican Central Railway (standard gauge), is rapidly completing,its Trans-Conti nemal (Atlantic and Pacific) line, which will render the city a most important business centre,
We fully exp. cted to find a sicepy old fashioned town with no excitement, except, possibly, a buli fight, or some bar rooms with corner loungers, and Texas pistol exercisé enlivening the streets. We found nothing of the kind, but a city with an efficient police system, good stores, and shops In nearly all of which English is spoken, a national Mint, with the most modern machinery admirably kept and worked; an enlightened Governor anxious for the well-being of his State, and for its honourable government; an industrial School of Art, where over 200 orphan children have been rescued from poverty. and are taught useful trades, and where we saw young Indians turning out lithograßb drawings that might have been issued by London firms, and cabinet work that Gillpy might own. We find a University, that educates rich and poor without any distinction. We find acity possessing many other excellent institutions, tramways, a Telephone Exchange, and above all, many excellent business men of broad views, and good culture, who are working hard to render their city that which it seems destined to become, the commercial metropolis, of Mexico.
I come to Mexico, via Chicago and Kansas City, to El Paso, over the line of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, which joins the Mexican Central at El Paso, I selected the route as affording the best general view of the So far a very careful and personal inquiry into States of Illinois, etc., and of prairie lands, which the resources and condition of Mexico proved present conditions very similar to the Sierras of that there is safety oflife, capital, and investment Mexico.
