During the last few yearns the egoist of Mountknp7oatap;t1 (smoky mauotaia) has become a pepufardiversion. The ceiriekest knownascent (According gto the atatentont of our chief guide) of this celebrated mountain bee been made by a party of gentlemen, including Dr. T. Ormebee of Chicago, Prof. Silas 11. Jenkins of New Orleans and the writer. Raving concluded to attempt the ascent m arrangements, we oda a em. r n t providing $ a s, p virtue ourselves with blankets, goggles, veils, gloves, woolen socks, amide's, etc., and retired to our. condos dreaming of the marrow and what it was to raring for h, Bright and early we were up and. left Mexico City at 8 a. m. An'i the Morelos railroad, and ran in a mouth' easterly direction, through a low marshy region for about twenty miles, when the aspl:et of the Country suddenly changes from marsh to hills, with beautiful vales running in all directions. Years ago earthquakes prevailed to a greatextent, and many of the Hills have had their tops knock- ed off by volcanic influence, thus presenting a fantastic appearance. The train continued through this varied section of hill and dale, for about twenty three miles, when we ail at once found our- selves in a beatiful valley at an altitude of nine thousand feet, A few minutes later, we hear "s Amecani- eco"from the brakeman, and realize that our destination by rail is reached. And NOW OCD IIARt SIUPB MOST BEGIN. We had been referred to Senor Francisco, Noviega, of this town, who was at onee In terviewed on our arrival in regard to guides, homes and other preparade:us. This gore tlelnan, who is a wealthy Spaniard, was found most agreeable, and took considerable interest in our welfare. He eat us at once in charge of rat intelligent Iridian, - who makes it his business to look after the tater. este of tourists, but more especially after his own pocket, and an easy Ono, which he insures himself. A bargain was soon made, with bizn as 1 our chief guide at three dollars per day, and all preparations, such as providing men, horses, es food, od, water, potato aka. ,o. , were loft to him, while we went t,o look for something to eat, which wag soon found in a little Indian house near by. Being very hungry, a good meal was made, although the food was got each AS an epicure would relish. In these mar towns the hotel se. con modatfone aro miserable, with no eating sa cons iu connection, leaving tourists to the totality of wowing around the place for food, whi:lagan generally be found, such as it is. But as we went for ronghitag it, these little inconveniences rather added to eat pleasure, A. few minutes after dinner we ,joined our Chief side, to find that he hal provided each of no with a glad horse well eapar- isened at one dollar twenty coda per day, a Otte such experience will quite satisfy us for ae-. ime 11f u , and I would not advise ot'Lers to hunt no any of these characters just for the fun of the thing. A. number of tourists have lost their lives on this moun- tain. but of late years the government has treated brigands insueh a summary manner that they are rapidly becoming rare. We were getting tired, very tired, but still were only about haat way, and must talon, slower and slower. • :As the way became rougher it was def@- cult to keep the saddle. We were now in the valley between Lxtaccihwathl and Popo, —many a steep hill must be ascended and many a chasm creased before our destina- tion would be reached. it was getting ex - Gre8lecold arad we wrapped our henvblankts more closely axonue and wished for a rest. Our limbs were cramped and painful. The guide told Be that we were almost there, but on and on we rode, higher and higher, till nearly disconreged. It was getting dark, making it more dilAanit to proceed, but on and on we rode, till all at once a turn was made into an immense and beautiful valley directly back on the way we had come. Then we rode on for half an hour, when our guide again that m ,ga u cold lea t t we were Almost there. Bat little credence was placed in what he said, because the same thing had been said over and over again for about two hours But in a moment more we saw a bright light and knew it to be the ranch, our camp. ing ground. We wondered who could have built the fires as noo persons live is this place. Our minds, however, were soon satisfied on thin p fp: when we found ourselves in the midst o over Ane hundred Indians camping. We were cr.ld and weary, and theirfires were very welcome, though they were not, as we did not know whether they were hostile or peaceable. Ortr fears were far greater than when meeting the brigands in the jungle, and urmiudeduringtheniihtany,thingbetmsy.
