Extracts from a Letter Written Home from the City of Mexico by Miss Agnes Clarke.
Mexico City is said here to be a counterpart of Paris, and so many of the proprietors of the most elegant dry goods and other stores are Frenchmen, as to make that language almost as familiar to the ear as the Spanish;but on the trip down—which all the way was more like a delightful dream than anything else, I found it a great comfort to be familiar with the latter language; it rendered one so much more independent in the several cities which we visited, than were the other excursionists who did not speak it.
Of course everything here is unique and strange and there is much squaler intermixed with the antique grandeur, while the varieties of tropical fruits and foliage and more than all, the profuseness of the loveliest flowers, suggests to the stranger some sort of paradise unless the eye happens to fall upon a scantily dressed beggar at the next moment.
- * * * Sunday here is the day for visiting and attending places of amusement; there are to be two bull fights this afternoon and the street cars pass the door every six minutes laden with passengers to witness this cruel sport. I "started in" with the other excursionists to see one but left before its close and have no desire for more entertainment of that kind. * * * The air here is so rare as to make one feel listless, the high altitude of 7,500 feet above the sea level, is not agreeable and gives one the feeling that there is a lack of support in the atmosphere; and why any American, unless a consumptive should like to live here is not plain to see. This city is much more like large American cities than I expected to find it after seeing Lacatecos, Queretaro, Agnos Colientes, etc. In those truly Mexican towns the women wear the picturesque rebazo and the men the sugarloaf sombrero, and the gay serapes were generally in use; but here in Mexico City the Paris bonnet adorns the native feminine beauty and the stiff silk tile and common dress coat is affected by government officials and other stylish gentlemen. While in Agnos Calientes, a city of about 25,000 inhabitants we visited the Hot Springs which give the city its name, and found the bath truly delightful.Chihuahua is another lovely town in which we spent the greater part of one day, and there are so many Americans there, it does not seem as foreign as the other cities. I have many stereoscopic views among which are "the old church at Paso del Norte," Fountain at Queretaro, views of Lacatecas, Chapultepec, the President's residence, etc., etc. Guanajuato was another beautiful ancient looking city with a great many ruins. * *
The excursionists felt sorry for me because I was to stay and live with the Mexicans, and I feel that I have had the advantages of considerable travel and experience since leaving school and best of all is having seen the lovely, grand old city of Mexico
