The eoenery is flat and monotonous
Passed all day long level treeless plains
with small farm houses at long interval
and a law horses and cattle. Its the after
noon of tbie day, Oot. 7t3, we cross Texa
at one point and into New Mexiao. Th
outlook ie dreary iu the extreme and th
Maine devoid of vegetation save a littl
sage brash. No matter bow desolate th
country, we eee the saloon at all Ibe littl
stations and indeed anywhere to trap th
unwary. It name all the way with us
The air is delightful, we got ten valuate
ou a platform to inbale the air and regal
oar equipoise after three'daye in a shaky
ear. Oat. 8th was the great day we wer
to see New Mexico so we got np early and
were still ranufug through a level plain,
with hills on either side. We stopped off
at Allamagordo for breakfast ; it ie a very
new town indeed, some attempts at a
fountain, a few rose bushes in bloom and
a rustic gate, were the salient features of
the landscape. We got intoElpaso, dawn
iu a corner of Texas about 11 a. m. Ae
our train was made np here and a delay
of a few hours necessary, now was oar
°hence to see a little glimpse of Mexico.
The excursion manager offered to inn.
duct a party of us over the line, so we
were only too glad ofa guide. We walked
down to the strange looking town of
E'paso to get our oar, we met Ringling
Bron'. Oirons here and the Dere and the
streets were crowded. As we waited with
whet petioles we could, the ever changing
orowde of people was a study. White
• people of all nationalities were there ;
the ladies, beautifully dressed ; the
negroes in all shades of colour, in dregs
and complexion ; then the Mexioau
ladies with the inevitable shawl on their
heads and the brigbt gay colouring, with
the "brow" dress of the Mexican men,
easier to look at than deearibe. At last
we crowded into a oar and in a abort
time wonted the line and was into the
guaiot town of Riney, Mexiao. Many of
the bt,uses are built of adobe, looks a kind
of brown earthy tariff, it is a baked clay I
believe. We were rushed throngb the
