The Mesilla Valley is a distinctive name applied to that of the Lio Grande Valley in the extreme southern part of N.-- Mexico, extend- ing from 1 ort Seld.-- ou the north to the Texas line not far from the City of El laso, lex. Its average width is about three miles and its great st wilth ten miles. The soil is exceedingly rich and fertile, and is especially adaptel for tho cultivation of fine fruit, although almost every variety of fruit, vegetv- hies and grain c in tie prolueed with One of the principal great suev-s- . and g e ops of th valley is alfalfa, hay, ol which four, and some- times five, cuttings are made in one season. I Imre is ul.viys a good market for alfalfa hay, which brings from fit) to $1 1 per ton. Every acre of the val- ley is so located that it can be irrigated from the river, which divides the total acreage into two nearly equal parts. The main line of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe R lilroal passes through the entire valley on the cast side of the river. The altitude is about ff.suq feet lower than Suita Fe and 1.2 J I feet lower ttian Denver, and tho average of the climate is mild aud as near perfee- tion as can be found anywhere. The only real winter experienced by peo-pi- e of tho valley is in the month of January, and even then tho tempera- turo rarely falls below 2J above zero, In midsummer the temperature is about the same as that of the Pacific Coast, but does not experience anything like the discomforts that attend an Eastern summer. The store buildings and most of tho residences are built of adobe (mad) bricks, and usually around an open square called a placiti. In these placitis, or open-ai- r gardens, it is no uncommon thing to pick roses at Christmas, while about February 1 the trees commence to put forth a new growth of leaves.

Pacing tiie deck one evening in company with Pierce, the latter told me of the consuming desire of a friend of his for whisky, lie said that if this friend but tasted liquor once and saw another glass of the stimulant on the other side of a molten stream of lava, so strong was his passion for it that lie would plunge in the stream and try to swim through the lire to reach it. I have always hud the notion, said Mr. Train, "that Pierce was describing his own feelings. "I recall, also, that when the Sena-toriexcursion went to the Rocky Mountains at the completion of tho Union Pacific railroad. Dick Yates was one of tiie company, lio had tho reputation at that time of being tho heaviest drinker in tin country, excepting onlv George D. Prentice and Senator McDougal. At that time, however, Gates had been temperate for a long time. The day was excessively hot and sultry, and in an unguarded moment Dick drank a spoonful of brandy. Shortly afterward he was missing. We found him next morning in a cattle pen v.ith nothing on but a shirt. "While coming down the Missouri River from Omaha to St. Joe with Senator McDougal, continued Mr. Train, "the bartender had been warned not to give tiie senator a drop of liquor. It was one of the most I ever saw when the senator tried to persuade the bartender to give him a drink. Tho winning personality of the man was so great and his appeals so piteous as lie stood with his arms around tho hart aiders neck begging for liquor, that, as far as myself and the bartender were concerned, there was not a dry eye in the house.
