Since this latter date Vera Cruz has enjoyed a period of quiet and a large share of commercial prosperity. About ten or twelve miles southward from the city is the little town of Medillin, a sort of popular watering-place, the Saratoga of this neighborhood. It is made up of a few decent houses of brick and wood, and many very poor ones, having plenty of drinking, dancing, and gambling saloons.
The Dark-Plumed Buzzards. A City Fountain. A Varied History. Medillin. State of Vera Cruz. Vera Cruz, which is at present the principal seaport of the republic, and which has heretofore been considered as the gateway of Mexico, is without a harbor worthy of the name, being situated on an open roadstead and affording no safe anchorage among its shoals, coral reefs, and surf.
The productive breadfruit-tree and the grapefruit with its yellow product abound. Truly, the trees and flowers to be seen on the way to Medillin are a revelation. The State of Vera Cruz borders the Gulf for a distance of five hundred miles, averaging in width about seventy-five miles. No other section of the country is so remarkable for its extreme temperature and for the fertility of the soil.
