accomplished by arbitration the great blessing of the century. We may
not ourselves be able to do anything to avert war. Each of us, however,
can do his share toward creating a sentiment in favor of peace, and
thus overcome the effect of the mischief-makers who, crying war at the
top of their lungs now, will be the first to shirk duty if we have to
fight.

We have received the following very interesting letter from the City of
Mexico:

DEAR EDITOR:

I read in one of last July's numbers of THE GREAT
ROUND WORLD a request for further information
about the Empress Carlotta or the Emperor
Maximilian.

We have a little summer home in the same town of
Cuernavaca where they had their residence.

I don't wonder that they chose it for a summer
home, it is such a beautiful spot and the climate
perfection. It is fifty miles in air-line from the
City of Mexico.

Their residence in Cuernavaca was an old place
called "Jardin de la Borda." The house is of no
importance, but the garden is one of the beautiful
sights of Mexico; though now in a state of ruin,
it is all fountains, terraces, lakes, flowers, and
trees.

The Emperor also had his shooting-lodge about
three miles out, with a small house on the
grounds. Madame D---- (who was maid of honor to
the Empress) told my mother that it was used
simply as a resting-place for the huntsmen and a
place of picnicking by the court. It is called
"Casa del Campo." It is also in a ruinous state,
is rented for $100 per
