Graphic

While the nation was rising against Lerdo, and I was still ignorant of the causes of so general and spontaneous a movement, I had a confidential conversation with a foreign banker who had been manv years here, and having never taken side's with any party, enjoyed the respect of all. I have often since recurred to that interview, for, although it was followed by many othere up to last night, everything he then said has been fully substantiated by subsequent events, and with a degree of accuracy which has commanded my unqualified respect for hi6 judgment and foresight. •"You should know first of all, said he

to look at this country Not as we look at England, iTUncr, Germany, or at the great Republic of the north. This country has a little rising of nine millions of people. But Mexico m.-ans only one million. The rest must be left out of our estimate.' They are Indian* of a far superior r-cc to your Indians, in almost all respects some of them like Juarez, who was a pure blooded Indian and a great man, and a farsuperior race naturally to your negroes. But they coalesce completely ith the Mexicans, and consider themselves as good citizens as the best Castilians here and before the law they are his equals. They follow,, they do not make public opinino, nor start revo.utions. The other million, of pure Spanish decent for the most part, govern this counrty—they mean Mexico. Superior men of this class are to be found in every one of these states superior in wealth talent, and education, in influence and social standing (God save the mark in many cases). They are found chifefly the state capitals or their neighborhoods the men who

"In a word it was a tyranny so odious and becoming so complete that it could be borne no longer. The revolution wr.s not only inevitable but justifible. It came and Lerdo anil his chief abettors and instrumentalities were compelled to flee from the capital under the cover of night, and make the best of hU way out of the country carrying with him twenty mule wagon loads of treasure, as it it were the booty of a barbarous conquerer instead of the stolen property of his neighbors and the state." "Now (in a later interview I asued) for Porferio Diaz—how has he reached his present position and what is his character?'* "His acts will best answer these questions.

He was nobly sustained during the struggle in the field and with equal unanimity as chief magis trate of the restored states. He has, outside of Mexico, been called dictator—not here He has never performed an act in violation of the constitution or laws. He has invaribly respected and enforced them In fact, he has erred, if at all, on the side of lenity and forbearance, peering rather to wail and tolerate, until he should be regularly inaugurated, and in the meantime show to the world an example of moderation, disinterestedness and statesmanship,

thus far in the history of thir, unhappv country. The interval of nearW six months since his elevation has been a trying period to the new ruler, and one whichnoman ever could ha\e through unscattered, if he had not b-e endowed with the

sterling

qualities of in

tegrity,. firmness, wisdom and patriotism. That Porfeio Diaz i= possesed of these qualities in an eminent degree has beei apparent to all Mexico. A few days after his final oveathrow of the army

anf1 the

party of Lerdo, the victorious general was greeted at the capital as a deliverer, and «vervbody supposed that, after the usual ashion, he would be regularly installed the govcrment palace, and act he supreme power of a dictator, till the

election should take place. Instead of this he settled down in his own humhie house with his wife and two children, where he has lived ever since. in the utmost simplicity, without the ostentation of even a guard at his door, visiting the palace only for the transaction of public business, and the faithfjl execution

the laws. He first

turned hi attention to finances, for Mexico Was everywhere quiet, aid public confidence was restored. There was not a cent in the treasury Lerdo carried off the last

$40,000

besides robbing the sacred fund of

$4,000,000

$300,000

upon the the ruler

for the time, be he president or dictator.

As this

class goes, so goes Mexico. It

was from the most prominent and ambitious of this class that Maximilian chose his court and body ol notables on them his chief blandishments were tried, but never seduced their best men, apd even of the next best he gained over none but the desperate,

except

through the in

fluence of office or station, or female tas cination. Now, you ask why such a man, Lerdo, was ever elected President, and was for nearly three years so popular and why the indignation of the countrv seems to have been so suddenly inflamed against him. It is all easily accounted for. He was young, plausible, shrewd, ambitious, and everybody thought he had deserved well of the countrv. He began well and things went smoothly, chiefly because the country was longing for peace. But before long it became verv evident that nothing by wav of reform was being done. 1 he revenues were stolen or squandered, the best officers were turnad out to make room for less scrupulous man, and finally the whele government was fcund sliding into dictatorial hands: At last his crimes became generally known and the subject of free discussion from the capital to the most distant borders of the republic. The most heinous can fte readily enumei

000 and be p«id off, and money must be had. Diaz had never made a prestamo, and he never wouid. The mixed commission on American claims had awarded

to them, and the first in

stallment had to be paid. Diaz sent for some of the bankers and merchants and asked them to help him, he offering them government preferred bonds. 'No, general,' they said, 'they are no security. Give us vour personal word and you can have the money.' 'Gentlemen, I am a poor man.' 'No matter your word i6 sufficient.' The money came, lie restored to the Monte de Piatad the sum Lerdo had stolen he began to discharge and pay off the army he sent

ALLOTMENT OF COMMUNAL LAND IN RUSSIA.

In the southern provinces, where the toil is fertile, and the taxes do not exceed

the

normal rent, the process of division and allotment is comparatively simple. Here each peasant desires to get as much land as possible, and consequently each household demands all the land to which it is entitled—that is to say, a number of shares equal to the number of its members inscribed in the last revision list.

The Assembly has, therefore, no difficult questions to decide. The communal revision list determines the number of shares into which the land must be divided, and the number of shares to be allotted to each family. The only difficulty likely to arise is as to which particular shares a particular family shall receive, and this difficulty is commonly obviated by the custom of casting lots.

There may be, it is true, some difference of opinion, as to when a redistribution should be made, but this is easily decided by a simple vote of the Assembly. Very different is the process of division and allotment in many communes of the northern provinces. Here the soil is often very infertile, and the taxes exceed the normal rent, and consequently it may happen that the peasants strive to havens little land as possible.

In the»e cases such scenes as the following may occur: Ivan is being asked how many shares of the communal land he will take, and replies in a slow, contemplative way: "I have two sons, and there is myself so I'll take three shares, or somewhat less if it is jour pleasure. "Less!" exclaims a middle-aged peasant, who is not the Village Elder, but merely an influential member, and takes the leading part in the proceedings. '•You talk nonsense. Your two sons are already ola enough to help you, and soon they may get married, and so bring vou two "new female laborers." "My eldest son,"{exclaimed Ivan, "always works in Moscow, and the other leaves me in summer." 'JBut they both send or bring home mo'ney, and when they get married, the wives will remain with you." "God knows what will be," replies Ivan, passing over in silence the first part of his opponent's remark. "Who knows if they will marry?" "You can easily arrange that." "That I cannot do. The times are changed now. The young people do a6 they wish, and when they do get married they all wish to have houses lof their own. 'Ifceie shares will be heavy enough for me?" "No, no. If they wish to separate from you, they will take some land from you. You must take at least four. The old wives there who have little children can not take shares according to the number of souls." "He is a rich Muzhik (peasant) says a voice in the crowd. "Lay on him five souls (that is to say, give him five shares of the land and of the burdens.) "Five souls, I can not! By God, I can not!" "Very well, you shall have four," says the leading spirit to Ivan "and then, turning to the crowd, inquires, "Shall it be so "Four! four!" murmurs the crowd and the question is settled.

Next comes .one of the old wives just referred to. tier husband is a permanent invalid, and she has three little boys, only one of whom is old enough for field labor. If the revision list were taken strictly as the basis of distribution, she would receive four shares but she wduld never be able to pay fcur shares of the communal burdens. She must, therefore, receive less than that amount. When asked how many she will take, she replies, with downcast eyes, "As the Mir decides, so be it." "Then you must take three."

What do vou say, little father?" cries the woman, throwing off suddenly her air of subservient obedience. "Do you hear that, ye orthordox? They want to lay upon me three souls! Was such a thing ever heard of? Since St. Peter's day mv husband has been bedridden— bewitched, it seems, for nothing does him good. He can not put afoot to the ground—all the same as if he were dead onIv he eats bread!"

You talk nonsense," says a neighbor "he was in the habak (gin shop) last week." "And vou!" retorts the woman, wandering from the subject in hand "what did you do last parish fete? was it not you who got drunk and beat your wife till she roused the whole village with her shrieking? And no futher gone than last Sunday—pfu!" "Listen!" says the old man stearnly, cutting short the torrent of jinvective. "You must take at least two shares and a half. If you can not manage it yourself, you can get some to help you.' "How can that be Where am I to get the money to pay a laborer asks the woman, with much wailing and a flood of tears, "Have pity, ye orthodox,

THE liSKKE HaUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

on the poor orphans Gad will reward you and soon, and so on. I need not weary the reader with a further description of these scenes, which are always very long, and sometimes violent. All present are deeply inte-ested, for the alottment of the land is by far the most important event in Russian peasant life, and the arrangament can not be made without endless talking and discussion. Alter the number of shares for each family has been decided, the distribution of the lots give rise to r.ew difficulties.

The families who have manured plentifully their land strive to get back their old'lots, and the commune respects their claims so far as these are conistent with the new arrangement but oiten it happens that it is impossible to conciliate private rights and communal interests, and in such cases the former are sacrificed in a way that would not be tolerated by men of the Anglo Saxon race. This .eads, however, to no serious consequences.

The peasants are accustomed to work together in this way, to make concessions for the communal welfare, and tt» bow unreservedly to the will of the Mir. I know of many instances where the peasants have set at defiance the authority of tlie police, of the Provincial Governor and of the central Governmsi.t itself, but I have never heard of any instance where the will ol the Mir was openly opposed bv one of its members.

AN ELEPHANT HUNT.

Early in the morning, I was aroused by my bov and, hastily swallowing a cup of pur2 coffe, I jumped into ir.v bath-tub, filled with rose water, and, in half an hour, I issued from my room, feeling cool and refreshed. I was quickly joined by my friend Dave, and, descending the stairs, we mounted our little ponies waiting !or us at the door. The natives carried our rifles, another our basket of provisions, and our body servants rode behind us, with palm leaf umbrellas to shield 11s from the rays of the sun.

A few hours'traveling, under the guidance of Tamby, brought us to a jungle, through the dense foliage of which the sun's rays scarcely penetrated. Trotting slowly on, we finally reached the borders of a small lake, around which a dense, th»rnv jungle was growing, and it would be an utter impossibility to penetrate through it without being almost tore to pieces but which afforded a safe retreat for elephants and other animals, upon whose thick hides the thorns would have no effect. Tamby informed us that we had reached the haunt of the rogue-ele-phant and dismounting from our horses they were led by our attendants to a cool, shady spot, and allowed to graze.

We laid in wait for him over half an hour, but no elephant made his appearance. Tamby was considerably cha grined at his want of succiss. and when I proposed to enter the jungle he did not oppose it very strongly, merely saying, "Sahib, me know plenty men get Killed so."

But Dave was anxious as to have a shot at any risk, and we prepared to en ter the jungle by crawling on our hands and knesa. We had to trail our rifles after us, and was anything but pleasant working out way threugh. At any mo ment a cobra di capello might spring on us or the small ground serpaut sting us, resulting in a quick and horrible death. But it was too late to think of backing out now, and we pressed blowly on making a& little noise as possible.

Suddenly Tamby stopped and motioned us to be quiet. I listened intently and neard the leaves rustling. Cocking our rifles, Dave and I peered through the jungle, but so dense was the foliage that we°could not see a thing. There weie no trees or anything that would a*ford us shelter in ease the animal was not killed by our first shots. Suddenly we heard a peculiar "prur-r-r," follpwed by a shrill trumpeting sort of noise and a terrible crashing sound, such as only an elephant could make. "Fire, when you see him, Dave! I shouted, fully alive to our danger. "Sahib, Sahib!'shouted Tanby "two, three, four elephant—all run quick!"

But this was easier said than done. It's true the elephants had made a sort of lane or path through the thorny thicket but the thorns and bushes had closed up near enough to tear our clothes to tatters, and lacerate our skins, the pain of which we did not feel at the time, so intense was our excitement as we dashed through the jungle after them, Tamby using his hatchet to good effeet on the ereepers znd vines in our road.

The elephants were flying at a great rate, and we could hear them crashing along, the noise growing fainter and fainter. Tampy cautioned us to be ready for at any moment one of them migh' dash upon us.

It was now getting terribly hot, and the presperation ran off me in a streams.

At last

we were sratified by the sight ol

an elephant ahead of .us, jogging along, through the jungle at a medium rate of speed. "Now, Harry, the sport commences! and, with a reckless shout, Dave pressed on.

We at last came to a clear space, comprising several acres, covered with a high growth of lemon grass. Not an elephant ceuld be seen, and I was looking every direction, when a scrtam from Tampy, followed by ."Sahib, Sahib, look dere elephant comes!" caused me to turn in the direction indicated.

An immense elephant, who looked everv inch the one we wanted, with his trunk high in the air, ears cocked and tail streaming out. came bursting out of the grass, rushing straight toward me. Screaming with rage, he advanced at an awful pace to escape was impossible— ilie gras3 was no impediment to him, but a terrible one to me. Dave, who had wandered off some distance, in his eager ness to get a shot, hadheaid Tamby's shout, and was slowly working his way back but the elephant, in two minutes, would be upon me, and I really thought my last moment had come. The sensations that came over me were terrible in the extreme but with a steady aim, and nerves like steel, I leveled my rifle at the rogue. On he came, with a speed far greater than I suppoSed an elephant was master of

In another moment, with a scream of race and triumph, he stood •within three feet of me, and I fired full at his uglylooking head, at the same time jumping

to one

side under cover of the smoke

but too late to escape a blow from his powerful trunk. Like a cannon-ball shot from a cannon, I telt myself hurled

through the air, and I landed about fifteen yards from the elephant, on a pile of grass and leaves. He had struck me on the thigh, and I thought my leg was broken. For a moment I was bewildered, but I heard the huge monster beating about the grass in search of me, and bitterly I regretted my folly in coming after a rogue-elephant.

I laid still as death, not daring to groan, nor scarcely breathe. Tamby had disappeared, and Dave was no where to be seen. Round and round he walked, beating the grass and earth in his impotent rage and fury. Suddently I heard the report of a rifle. I saw the elephant strike convulsively once or twice in the air. stapgered a few steps, an 1 then, with a shock that shook the earth, he fell, crushevery thing around hiin. At that instant, objects became indistinct, and swam before my eyes, and when consciousness again returned, I found myself on a litter' beside the little lake, and Dave bending over me anxiously, bathing rr.y face with water. "Are you much hnrt, Harry?" he inquired anxiously. "No, I think not," I replied ''though I feel terribly shaken." "No doubt of that I thought you were killed at first," "Twas a narrow escape, anyhow."

The numbness had left my leg, but the pain wax -till severe. Luckily no bones were broken, and with the assistance of Dave's arm I lobbied to where the horses were standing, and we slowly returned toward my bungalow.

On arriving,! rubbed my leg with scm liniment, and tlie swelling and pain quickly subsided. I sent t.tinky the following day to the scene of our exploits, and secured the regucs tusks. lixvc* snoc naa finisned the monster. lie arrived Just in time to save me from a horrible death.
