Tlic Adviintaijcs of the S('ini-Kii(io« input Policy May be briefly summarized : The premiums are low, and the insurance furnished by the Semi- Endowment is precisely the same as that of the more expensive forms of policies. It is intended to cover the period of life when insurance is most needed, and provides a fund for the support of old age. EC0>03IY AND PROTECTION. It IS cheaper than "co-operative" or assess- meut insiirance, for it not only affords sound pro- tic/iiin during the continuance of the policy, but ■ at the expiration of the term will, in many cases, according to the age of the insurer, with only moderate dividends, return all premiums paid. It is Better and Safer tliaii Tontine Insurance. 1. It has avnual dividends which can be used towards paying premiums, or to increase the amount of insurance. 2. In case of lapse, after three years, it calls for a definite amoTint of paid-up insurance ; a proportional amount of the policy fur each year's premium paid. 3. As a death claim it call.s for the full ainouut of the policy, together with a'l accumulated dividends. 4. It will be kept in full force by any dividends standing to its credit, even though the jiremium be past due and unpaid. 5. All policies while held by dividends may be continued without medical re-examination, by payment of the balance of the premium due, and all danger of loss from forfeiture thereby- avoided.

To the tourist aud to those who desire to avoid the inclement weather of our Northern Latitudes, our ishiud neighbor, Cuba, and our southern sister, the Republic of Mexico, extend open arms. The sea trip being, with the exception of one day, altogether through the warm Gulf Stream and warmer Gulf of Mexico, possesses more cur- ative powers, especially for those who have been the victims of pneu- monia and its kindred, than tons of drugs. Life, in these near neighbors,is an entirely different one fi'om ours; their industries are such as we cannot study in oui- homes ; the cities are in every respect unlike what we are used to, in fact to all who, through curiosity or ennui, are desirous of seeing what is 7iew, Cuba and Mexico appeal irresistably. To those who intend travelling through these countries this book is addressed. We do not propose to give a full description or history of these countries, but only to indicate what is to be seen and to give such in- formation as will enable oiu' readers to reach points of interest most easily and most economically. We shall also attempt to collect all information which we think will prove serviceable to our readers, and refer them to the index for guidance as to its whereabouts. ■ REQUISITES FOR THE VOYAGE. The first and most important requisite is a passport, and we print elsewhere in these pages a circular issued by the Department of State at Washington, giving instructions as to the method of obtain- ing the same. The |)assenger to Cuba should have his passport signed by the 10 THOMAS COOK & SON, 261 Broadway, New York; Ludgate Circus, London. ORIGINATORS AND FOUNDERS OF THE (ESTABLISHED IN 1841.)

Y., at an expense of $4. Those who intend continuing their trip to Mexico upon the same steamer do not, however, need to observe this last formality. Then comes the very necessary formality of securing passage and staterooms. Here again we beg to refer you to our index for infor- mation concerning routes and prices. For this trip we would advise that, in addition to the ordinary trunks which travellers take with them, the intending tourist should provide himself with a lai-ge gripsack or flat stateroom trunk in which should be packed, beside the ordinary necessaries of travel, a complete suit of summer clothing and summer underwear. A light top coat will also prove welcome during the evenings upon the ocean. Pack your trunks with summer clothing only. You will commence to use the supply in your gripsack before you are two days out from New York, and the garments which you wear upon leaving New York will prove ample for those rare occasions upon which heavier than light summer wear Avill be needful. A letter of credit is the most convenient form in which to cai'ry your needed funds. American money, and especially American gold, is easily exchanged for the currency of Cuba and Mexico, and is ac- cepted at all the principal hotels. Letters of introduction are always desirable and should be pro- cured if possible. The Spanish race, as a rule, are hospitable and kind-hearted. They will always receive you with open arms when you are introduced by mutiial fi'iends. A steamer chair' and travelling rug are very comfortable posses- sions upon a voyage through these summer seas. Send your baggage properly labeled (labels are provided by the Agents) to the steamer on the morning of sailing day. Be on board yourself about half an hour before the advertised hour of sailing. That will give you ample time to find your stateroom and belongings and to say the last good-byes. With just a hint to be on the lookout for the last glimpse of your mother country on the third day out, when the low white Florida coast comes into view and with a caution against placing any credence in the estimate in the ship's run which you get b^^ casually asking " about how many miles have we made to-day?" of one of the officers, previous to the daily guessing pool on that subject, we will say "aurevoir," not, "good-bye," for we shaU meet you again soon, pre- pared to give information which wiU make your pleasuring more easy in the harbor of Havana. CIKCQLAR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE, U. S. A., CONCERNING PASSPORTS. Washington, June 1, 1882. Citizens of the Uiiited States, visitino- foreign countries, are liable to serious inconvenience if unpi-ovided with authentic proof of their national character. The best safeg-uard is a passport from this Department, certifying the bearer to be a. citizen of the United States. Passports are issued only to citizens of the United States, upon application supported by proof of citizenship. Citizenship is acquired by nativity, by naturalization, and by annexation of territory. An alien woman, who marries a citizen of the United States, thereby becomes a citizen.- Minor children, resi- dent in the United States, become citizens by the naturalization of their father. When the applicant is a native citizen of the United States he must transmit his own affidavit of this fact, stating his age and place of birth, with the affidavit of one other citizen of the United States to whom he is personally known, stating that the declaration made by the applicant is true. These affidavits must be attested by a Notary Public, under his signature and seal of office. When there is no Notary in the place, the affidavits may be made before a Justice of the Peace or other officer authorized to administer oaths ; but if te has no seal, his official act must be authenticated by certificate of a court of record. A person born abroad, who claims that his father was a native citizen of the United States, must state in his affidavit that his father was born in the United States, has resided therein, and was a citizen of the same at the time of the applicant's birth. This affidavit must be supported by that of one other citizen acquainted with the facts. If the applicant be a naturalized citizen, his certificate of natur- alization must be transmitted for inspection (it will be returned with the passport), and he must state in his affidavit that he is the iden- tical person described in the certificate presented. Passports cannot be issued to aliens who have only declai-ed their intention to become citizens. Military service does not of itself confer citizenship. A person of alien birth, who has been honorably discharged from military service in the United States, but who has not been naturalized, should not transmit his discharge paper in application for a pass- port, but should applj to the proper court for admission to citizen- ship, and transmit a certified copy of the record of such admission. In issuing passports to naturalized citizens, the Department wall be guided by naturalization certificate ; and the signature to the 13 application and oath of allegiance should conform in orthography to the applicant's name as written in the naturalization paper. The wife or widow of a naturalized citizen must transmit the naturalization certificate of the husband, stating in her affidavit that she is the wife or widow of the person described therein. The children of a naturalized citizen, claiming citizenship through the father, must transmit the certificate of naturalization of the father, stating in their affidavits that they are children of the person de- scribed therein, and were minors at the time of such naturalization. The oath of allegiance to the United States will be required in all cases. The application should be accompanied by a description of the person, stating the following particulars, viz. : Age : years. Stature : feet, inches (English measure.) Forehead : Eyes : Nose : Mouth : Chin : Hair : Complexion : Face : If the applicant is to be accompanied by his wife, minor chil- dren, or servants, it will be sufficient to state the names and ages of such persons and their relationship to the applicant, when a single passport for the whole will suffice. For any other person in the party a separate passport will be required. A woman's passport may include her minor children and servants. By act of Congress approved June 20, 1874, a fee of five dollars is required to be collected for every citizen's passport. That amount should accompany each application. Postal money orders and bank checks should be payable to the Disbursing Clerk of the Department of State. Checks to be available for the full amount must be di'awn on banks at principal business centres. Individual checks must be certified by the banks upon which they are drawn. A passport is good for two years from its date and no longer. A new one may be obtained by stating the date and number of the old one, paying the fee of five dollars, and furnishing satisfactory evidence that the applicant is at the time within the United States. The oath of allegiance must also be transmitted when the former passport was issued prior to 1861. Citizens of the United States desiring to obtain passports while in a foreign countiy must apply to the chief diplomatic represent- ative of the United States in that country, or, in the absence of a diplomatic representative, then to the Consul General, if there be one, or, in the absence of both the officers last named, to a Consul. Passports cannot be lawfully issued by State authorities, or by Judicial or Municipal functionaries of the United States. (Revised Statutes, section 4075.) To persons wishing to obtain passports for themselves, blank forms of application will be furnished by this Department on request, stating whether the applicant be a native or a naturalized citizen. Forms are not furnished, except as samples, to those who make a business of procuring jjassports. Communications should be addressed to the Department of 14 State, indorsed " Passport Division," and each commuiucation should give the Post Office address of the person to whom the answer is to be directed. Professional titles will not be inserted in passports. HAVANA. In Havana the steamers land their passengers and cargo without going to any dock, the wharf facilities being very meagre. The ship, immediately upon arrival, is surrounded by boats whose owners clamor for the privilege of taking you ashore — for a consideration. We wish here to call the attention of our readers ' to the fact that in these pages we will give information as to boat, cab, railroad and other charges, as well as Customs regulations, consul- ates, points, of jj>terest and other information of use to the traveler, and refer him to our index in which such information will be class- ified and its whereabouts indicated. The Custom House and Health authorities having performed their several duties, the occupants of the small boats are permitted to pay their respects to the passengers. Most of these people repre- sent hotels. If YOU intend continuing your voyage to Mexico on the same steamer, take ashore with yovi only a gripsack, which you can entrust to the hotel representative whom you propose to accompany. If you intend remaining in Cuba for some time, entrust the care of your bao-gage and its superintendence during Custom House inspection to the hotel agent. These men are accustomed to this work, and a small fee to them is a good investment. Tourists who continue their trip to Mexico on the same steamer need not trouble about these details. They are entitled to board and lodging on board the steamer without additional charge. Com- nuuiication between the ship and shore is always easy, as the harbor swarms with small boats. Having completed your arrangements with the hotel agent and entrusted your baggage to his care, you entrust yourself to the care of one of the diminutive craft alongside. In one of these small but safe boats you reach the Custom House wharf, upon leaving which, after having passed the official examination, you are fi'ee to make acquaintance with life in the tropics. Here let us give a little seasonable advice. Follow the example 15 of the Cubans. Do'not hurry. The rapid motion so natural in our northern latitudes is productive of great discomfort in warm Cuba. Again, carriages are plenty and inexpensive. Much discomfort from the tropical sun will be avoided by using these conveyances freely. Havana'is built upon a tongue of land, the head of which is defended by the Moro Castle and the Heights of Cabanas. The old part of the city is a town of quaint old-fashioned buildings and narrow streets. The newer portions are, however, built in accord- ance with the modern idea. Almost all the houses are only two stories high, although the high ceilings which comfort demands in this climate, make many of the buildings reach a height of forty feet. In olden times the city was entrenched and surrounded by massive Avails, but these have been done away with. Havana is a city of about 250,000 inhabitants. The population is essentially cosmopolitan in its character ; many of the principal merchants are German or English, and there is a large represent- ation from the Spanish Peninsular The Paseo, the principal boulevard of Havana, is flanked by handsome houses and gardens', and is a favorite drive. A section of the city well worth visiting is the Chinese quarters. There are a good many wealthy Chinese merchants in the city, but the major part of the Chinese population is composed of coolies who were brought into the island to work upon the plantations and who have worked our their time of servitude. A visit to the cathedral will prove of interest, as will also one to the wharves, which consist in a mile or more of roofed levees at which vessels are moored bow on and loaded or discharged by a sort of primitive elevated railroad which is run to the hatches. The theatres are open on Sundays, as are also the cafes. The official religion is Roman Catholic, and there are many fine churches in the city. At some of the leading hotels Protestant ser- vices are held on Sundays for the benefit of guests. There is always good music in Havana, and a good Italian opera comiDany is well patronized during the winter inonths. Grau's French Opera Troupe is also warmly greeted during the short stay it makes here. The suburbs of Havana are towns composed principally of chai-ming country residences surrounded by pleasant grounds. ■ A favorite picnic ground is Puentes Grandes (Big Bridge), where there is a fine beach for bathing. A few miles further up the coast are famous fishing grounds. To the eastward is the town of 16 Guanabacoa, a favorite summer resort, noted for its mineral springs. A few miles west, reached by the steam cars which pass out through the Avenue del Norte, there is an interesting old castle, whose foun- dations are bathed by the waters of the bay. OTHER CUBAN CITIES. Matanzas is the second city in importance on the island. It lies in the valley of Yumuri, and has a population of about 40,000. In many respects it resembles Havana, to which city it in fact stands in the light of an important suburb. Its chief attraction is the romantic beauty of its scenery. The Caves of Bellamar, near by, are well worth visiting. The next city in importance is Cardenas, which is situated on the northern coast of the island. Cardenas does a large business in the exportation of sugar to the United States. Cienfuegos is worth visiting. It lies upon the southern coast and has a fine harbor. Not far from Cienfuegos is Trinidad, an ancient town whose scener}' is very beautiful. Santiago de Cuba is also an important commercial town, and is the principal city of the copper mining district of Cuba. It was for- merly the capital of the island, and is j^robably the oldest town in the West Indies. If time serves, a trip to any large sugar plantation will prove very interesting, as will also one through the Vuelta Abajo, where the best tobacco on the island is raised. Now, with a hearty good-b^'e to the good friends we have made among the warm-hearted Cubans, aU aboard for the land of the Montezumas. THE REPUBLIC OF MEXICO. We shall not attempt to describe Mexico except in a very gen- eral way. Volumes could be and have been written on this subject. An attempt to give a full account of this country, whose civilization was ancient when Columbus first crossed the Atlantic would swell this volume to unwieldy proportions. We shall simply point out some of the many interesting things which are to be seen there, and trust our readers will leave this land sufficiently interested in it to seek for themselves the pleasure obtain- able in reading the many volumes published on the history and romance of our native western civilization. 17 Progreso is reached after a two days' sea voyage from Havana- It is tbe seaport of the City of Merida, and through its portals the- immense yield of sisal grass, a species of hemp, obtained in the State of Yucatan, reaches the outside world. The steamer remains about 24 hours at Progreso, giving the tourist an opportunity of visiting^ the City of Merida, 22 miles distant. Merida is the capital of the State of Yucatan, and is a quaint and beautiful city of about 50, OOO inhabitants. The market place is an immense square surrounded by high adobe walls. The streets are named after animals and birds, and for the convenience of the mass of the population, which is unedu- cated, the street names are indicated by figures of their namesakes in the animal kingdom, which stand prominently upon the corners. Near the city of Valladolid, in the eastern portion of Yucatan,, are the famous ruins which have been excavated and explored by many French and American archpeoligists. They consist of the ruins of about forty ancient towns and villages and contain the re- mains of many castles, palaces and temples, from which many inter- esting relics have been disinterred. Unlike European ruins, these remains of an early American civilization have no local traditions or legends connected with them, and inquiry as to their history will probably meet with a characteristic native shrug and " Quien sabe."" After leaving Progreso some of the steamers go direct to Vera Cruz and others make stops of a few hours at Campeche and Fron- tera, which ports, together with their intermediate bay, ' ' Laguna de Terminos," are the points from which the rich yield of dyewood and hardwoods of Mexico are exported. Now we approach VERA CRUZ, the portal to the great Republic of Mexico, the modern El Dorado. The first indication of land noted from on shipboard is the mountain of Orizaba, an extinct volcano, whose snow-capped summit catches the eyes while the shore is still sixty miles distant. As we approach,, its majestic outline becomes more and more clearly demarked against the sky, and as we gaze upon this monarch of the hills it impresses us as a worthy avant courier of this royal land, rich in natural resources, and in romance, and with a history antedating by long years the opening of our Western hemisphere to Caucasians. Four hours after we catch sight of the summit of Orizaba the coast line appears uj)on the distant horizon. Coral reefs parallel 18 with the coast extend in front of the cit}' of Vera Cruz. Not far from the shore is the Httle island of Sacrificio, which, according to legend, was the scene of an annual human sacrifice in the days of idolatry. As we enter the harbor we notice the dull pink walls of the city to the left, and to the right the fort of San Juan de UUoa, which stands upon the spot where Hernando Cortez landed on April 21st, 1519. It was commenced in 1569, and not completed until 1633. The old fort is now used as a State prison. Once again we have recourse to the small boats which land us and our belongings on the wharf. Vera Cruz covers about sixty acres and is suiTounded by a trian- gular wall twenty feet high. Its population numbers about 15,000, and is cosmopolitan in character. The streets are narrow but clean, the care of the street cleaning department being entrusted to im- mense flocks of buzzards, whose safety against the ardor of the sports- man is ensured by stringent legislation. Vera Cruz is the capital of the State bearing that name, and is the principal seaport of the country, as well as of the City of Mexico. Until very lately it was the only medium of communication between the City of Mexico and the outside world. Until the Mexican Declaration of Independence it enjoyed the monopoly of the import business of Mexico, according to government regulations. Even up to a late date two-thirds of the Mexican commerce passed through it and its commercial position is still very important. Among the buildings woiih visiting are the Palace, a structure completed in 1627 and now used as government offices ; the chapel of La Pastora, erected in 1746, and the church of San Antonio, a fine old edifice. Vera Cruz has also ' a fine market which cost ninety thousand dollars. The city contains, as well, an artillery school, an arsenal, three hospitals and a public library. The Plaza de la Constitution is the public park. Vera Cruz was founded by the Viceroy, Count Monterey, at the end of the sixteenth century, and has, owing to its exceptional posi- tion, maintained its commercial importance until the present day. Until the middle of this century the carrying trade between Vera Cruz and the interior was done by mules. Of late years, how- ever, that magnificent engineering feat the " Ferro-carril Mexicano" has rendered communication more simple. The first concession for the construction of a railroad from Vera Cruz to the City of -Mexico was granted in 1837, and work on the road was shortly afterward started. The work was delayed by many 19 great engineering difficulties as well as by the political disorder into which Mexico was, at the time, frequently thrown. Thirty-six years after the date at which the concession was granted, however, the road was completed and formally inaugurated in the presence of President Lerdo de Tejada. During the years of the road's construction forty presidents and one emperor ruled Mexico. Through the ingenuity and skill of its engineers and projectors we are enabled to enjoy the charming trip from VERA CRUZ TO THE CITY OF MEXICO. The rise in the road becomes very perceptible at about forty- seven miles from Vera Cruz where the track cuiwes around the base of the Chiquihuite Mountain. At this point on tbe road the luxuriant tropical vegetation will delight northern eyes. The next point of interest is the Ravine of Metlac, where the scenery is magnificent and the bridge and engineering work upon the roadway of the railroad is probably the most skillfully solved engineering problem in Mexico. At Enui'ial (eighty-eight and one-half miles from Vera Cruz) the grade becomes very heavy and a Fairlie engine, constructed for pull- ing trains up steep grades, is attached to the cars. Shortly after leaving Enurial the train reaches the Barranca del Enfiernillo where the track runs along the edge of a precipice six hundred feet high. At this point the view is the most magnificent and extensive along the entire route. From Enurial to Boca del Monte the ascent is continuous. At Boca del Monte the elevation is 7,924 feet. After passing Apizaco (one hundred and seventy-nine mile » from Vera Cruz) where the branch road to Puebla starts, we reach the highest point in the road where it reaches an elevation of 8,333 feet near Ouadaloupe. From Irolo (two hundred and fifteen and one-half miles from Vera Cruz) a tramway leads to Pachuca, one of the oldest and most interesting mining towns in Mexico. From Irolo to the City of Mexico, forty-eight miles distant^ the grade of the road is a gradiial descent until Mexico is reached at an elevation of 7,347 feet above the sea level. THE CITY OF MEXICO is situated in a valley forty-five miles long, thirty-five miles wide and containing seven hundi-ed thousand inhabitants. The city itself con- 20 DEVLI]^ &D CO., ESTABLEUDOS EN 1840. Nos. 258 y 260 BROADWAY, Esquina a Warren Street, NEW YORK.
