was necessary to stop over night there, in
order to connect with the stage to Santa Fe,
the next morning. Hero I had wy first ex-
perience of what sleeping in a canvas tent was,
and I can't say that I desire to repeat the ex-
periment -particularly when both climate
and hospitality are 60 much below freezing
point as they were there. Our landlord emu:
°ceded admirably iu driving us to the deter-
mination to see him later, so much later that
I fear our futurt patronage will never be of
much service in relieving, his temporal neces-
sides. Like the two Dutchmen, "he hae the
money, and we have the experience." After
being ferried across the Rio Grand"e-rivereand-
relieving ourselves, by giving the aforesaid
landlord a "parting blessing," we tumbled on.
board tho stage, and were headed for Santa
Fe. Our road was a peculiar one, fo'lloteing
a dry river bed of sand and soil, here and
there taking a short cut across a narrow Heel[
or isthmus. What they do when the waters
are high 1 didn't learn, •but presume they go
in skiff's. To me, however, the road was the
least interesting object. On either side, and
for miles iu either direction, lay a country so
riob that to scratch it megaly, with the rude
implements of the natives, is to make it "bad
and blossom as the rose." .Fruits of all
kinds, peaches, grapes, apples, pears, ete., in
in wild abundance, grow and thrive here in
these valleys, almost without any attention.
But the moat striking peculiarity about this
country is probably the structure of the
houses or huts of the Mexicans and Indians-.
the former evidently copied from the latter.
They are uniformlycomposed of arlotres-pro-
nouneed "adobays," An adobe' is a brink
made of mudand straw, mixed by puddling
with the feet, and afterwards moulded into
an ('long form and sun-dried. I wondered,
when '`test I a'Tatar e tramping in a heap
of mad, what ne was 'trying to "celebrate,"
and thought of my boyhood days, . whew 1
used to manufacture. .inch delicious niud pies'
-but aeon found that he was a "brick maker. "
My interest increased when I learned, upon
inquiry, that these adobes were the aamo,as,
and practically identical with those" which
the Children of Israel were compelled to
make in Egypt, and about which they cern.
plained when forced to find their own straw.
I bavo,eince learned that this is the universal
bnildiug matetiul of hot countries, where
there is Iittle or no rainfall. Those asides
are much Larger than -ouriirici:, being gener-
ally 18 x 9 x 4 inches, and are laid in a mortar
of mud, making, when complete, a solid wall,!
These walls are generally plastered over with
a layer of the same material, which is some-:
times whitewashed, but oftener' left a "pure
rand color." The walls are ordinarily four
or five foot thick, and but one storey high,
and the roof supported by round or square'
timbers; called "vegas," which generally ex-
tend a short distance beyond the walls, forme
lag eaves. On these vogue is Laid a matting
of mud, which is patted solid, and left to dry
by th4 heat of the sun. Chimneys -which
are a searcearticle-fireplaces-always in the
corner of the room -fences,; ovens, etc, are
built of the Bente mnteeisl,.in fact, in this re-
spect, they may be said to live by " working
the soil," though they don't amount to a hill
peens as farmers. Still these adobe housee,
which 'at first I was thoroughly dieguatell
with, are, while rude and uncouth to an ex-
treme degree, both warmer in winter and.

Arriving at Santa Fe, and putting up at a
"grand" adobe hotel, I was struck at once
with the narrowness of the alleys constituting
the main thoroughfares of the cite -;called• by
eonrteey "streets," Bet even thie_featere
would have been endurable, were these streets'
not to erratio in their meanderings. It cer-
tainly seemed ail though some pathway or
winding creek had been made the guldiug

the "palace" and principal- state officer, On

high, with walls about.five feet thiok,'and is

tainly greater in quantity, whatever may be

r..^l,^hto the moat remarkable of Mello old

heard so much of this old relic, that I lost no
time in visiting it. Approaching the front of
the building the visitor is confronted with a
