A similar interest attaches to Mexican reminders of Cortes, the first Old World conqueror of the New, and this interest is not diminished by the fact that the associations connected with Cortes, who took possession for Spain of what Columbus found, are in the land where his fame was won, and not in the mother country, where both discoverer and conqueror died neglected and humiliated. IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CORTES. \\ V can trace every stage of the wonderful march of Cortes and his handful of follo...wers from the coast near Vei-a Crux, to the City of Mexico. Here, at Tlaxcala, a moun- tain town, not far from the present city of Ptiebla, the Span- iards fought with a fierce and warlike mountain tribe which soon became the faithful ally of Cortes, saving him more than once in times of imminent danger, and sharing the military honors of the conquest. In this city, which at the time of the conquest was compared favorably by Cortes with Granada, but which is now the mere shadow of its former self a half-deserted, decaying village are found the most interesting collection of Cortes' relics in all Mex- ico.
