The streets of Monterey, as previously referred to, are very narrow, and on many of these the sidewalks are barely feet wide houses are very quaint of design- Except in the are built of e, solidly together, with no space or alleys between them. Most of are only one story high, one seldom being seen above two stories. The walls are from two to four feet thick and even the floors and roofs are of stone or cement. The only wood used about a is the shutters to door- and windows and the girders that support the roof or upper floor. Being thus con- they are practical. fire proof, it is well this is so, for owing to the scarcity of water the city has no means of fighting fire. There are no porches to the houses but frequently where there are upper stories a cony hangs over the sidewalk- All the windows are protected by strong iron gratings giving the appearance of a prison. The building are all very much alike and the only yard about is in an open court between the rear wings. is be- hind the American in point of much pleasure from the as did her beautifully dressed sister.

Among the latter was used as a fort by Mexicans to protect Monterey against an attack from the cans. But it was here that Gen. Zachary Taylor, in command of a regiment of United States troops, showed that army was better skilled in military exploit than those of Mexico. Gen. Taylor was seen marching his regiment up the valley towards Monterey, but was careful not to bring them range of the guns in fort. the regiment turned to the right and disappeared among the hills, the Mexicans thinking this meant they retire to the mountains and make no attack. way among the hills the or no ceremony or mark of class burials often take place without a coffin, a shallow trench being cut in hard earth, the body placed therein a few shovels full of dirt thrown over it.

The Great is that of We that of our own interrogated the Landmark about it during the last campaign- Mr- Skinner's plan is to issue valued at cents each, and calling for redemption by the government, the bearer guaranteed fifty cents in gold and fifty cents in silver. This ft very attractive proposition, and, according to Mr. Skinner, it will be difficult for even standard men successfully it- the silver we are told., gold surely appreciate, the combined value of the two metals equalizes the face value of the bi-metallic certificates, and keeps its face value at One hundred cents what Suppose that you dollar composed of fifty worth of gold, the bullion value of the two components being exactly equal. Then that silver declines twenty per cent, in value com- pared with gold. Then the cents worth of silver is worth cents in gold, whereas the worth of gold is worth 62.5 cents silver. TL-is makes the great bi dollar worth in silver and cents in cents in nothing. The theory by which the scheme could be made to work would be for gold to advance per in potatoes, for whenever silver declines per cent- in the same is reasonable, to say the least- Skinner would do well to polish his scheme with a little more thought- It is to relieve hoped that he will not in meshes There be some cruelties that are intolerable- One of these is this above, inflicted by our esteemed contemporary, the Norfolk Land- mark, brain of the Hon.
