Things in Yacatan-eH Ns1 England Of Merse0
The Egypt Of America is slowly emerging from
her darkness, and though the ruins Of past times
look frewnrgly down upon modern Innovations,
yet The spirit Of progress which is abroad 10 the land
viii soon place her at the head Of her Spanish SIS
ters. Whilst Mexico, Of which che lie en integra
part, is the prey Of political demagogues and amb-
tious mi,ta,los-a scene of internal disensons, ra-
pine and strife, Yucaisn, from her distance from
the scene OF action, in which she takes no part is
quietly moving on in prosperity and wealth. In the
beginning OF the outbreak between Mexico and the
States, they talked loudly Of national honor, and the
assistance they ought to give to the Central Govern
meDi; now II Is question scarcely touched upon,
IL spoken Of only calamity which would all hea
vy upon their commerce and prosperity and they much
doubt the propfiety of meddling / n the affair.


There IL little amusement at present in Merida the
theatre having closed and the company dispersed for
Campeachy, Havana, and Mexico; dull enosgh
Ibsnez pupil Of Thabers, lately from Paris is here
giving concerts and lessons Is respectable pianist
though nothing in comparison with Wallace or even
Russell


Loudon had her Mohocs Merida has her Frangollo--
ard what would Merida be without them z A merry,
joking set Of fellows the Franyollo Merida
of your vulgar ones but OF responsibility, birth and
education and there Is neither DEATH brthn marriage
that they do not turn to account for mirth Is their
motto, end mrth they will have, though a dead
subject Woe to the poor wight who falls under their
dispieasure.


En- faThsr sayings and doings Is constant food for
the gos ips Of this goodly city and like nchers
they do many public good under the of pract
cal joke.
