MEXICAN HIGHWAYMEN.

Robbers in Mexico are what pedlars used
10 be in England; they keep up The life in
the villages, plumber wherever they can, cheat
where they cannot plumber, ride stout horses
and lead, on The whole, varied, and some
times gay life. One of The American travel
lers saw at one of the villages where The Stage
changed horses, dashing and picturesque
figure, gaudily dressed, who rode by on
handsome horse richly csparisoned On in
quiring if the coachman knew him, the an
swer was that he knew him perfectly well,
and that he was the captain of a band of
robbers who had plundered the Stage several
times since The whip and reins had been in
his hands. On the American urging the
question why he had not brought the robber
10 punishment, the answer was, ''Ihat he
would be surse 10 be shot by some of the band
the next time he passed the road;" the honor
of Mexican thieves being peculiarly nice up
on this point. 1t appeared that the dashing
horseman had gone through the village on
reconnaissance but probably not liking the
obvious preparations of the travellers, had
postponed the capture.
The mode OF managing things in this SON.
nolent country is remarkable for lis tranquil
iiy.-The American who narrates the cir
cumslance had taken with him from Vera
Cruz four dragons; but on accidentally in
curing on the road into the state of their
arms, he found that but one carbine had a
lock in fighting order, and even that one was
not loaded; on which he dismissed the guard
and trusted 10 his companions, who were all
we'll armed. The Mexican travellers, taking
the matter in another way, never carry arms
but prepare small purse "to be robbed off,
of which they are robbed accordingly. A
few miles from Perote the road winds round
high hill, and the passengers generally get
out and walk. The Americans on this occa-
sion had left their arms in the carriage, but
their more prudent ediately ordered
them 10 carry them in their hands, and in
the course of The ascent they bounced upon
group of ruifans whom the driver pronoun-
ced TO be robbers; and who but for their arms
would probably have attacked them. In less
than month after this, FIVE or six Americans
having left their arms in the stage at this spot
were attaked and stripped of every cent be-
longing TO them.
1t must be owned that this country has fine
advantages for the gentlemen OF the road.
The highway between Yer Cruz and Mexico
is the great conduit OF life in this country
Nearly all the commerce goes by that way,
and ninety out Of every hundred travellers
pass by the same route. The chief portion
of the road is through an absolute desert
1t frequently winds up the sides of the noun
tains, and then is bordered by forests of ev
ergreens, forming capital shelter for the
land pirate, the whole being combination o
Hounslowheaih and Shooters Hill lon grand
scale, and making highway robbery noi mere
Iy a snowy but a safe speculation, the gam
ing table being the chief recruiting Office o
the whole battalion of Mercury.

SWORD FOR GEN. TAYLoR.-The State of
Louisiana after the great battles of the Sth
and 9Th of May, voted to present sword to
Gen. Taylor. 1t has been made in New
York, and the description of ii is given in the
New York Tribune:
The scabbard is made of the finest metal
with richly engraved and wrought ornaments.
On two divisions of the front side are scenes
of the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de
la Palma. The shiIed presents the following
inscription:
"Preseuted by The State of Louisiana TO
Gen. z. Taylor, in testimony of the high
opinion held by the people of this State OF
the skill, conduct and judgement shown by
him during his military lite, but particularly
during the battles of of Palo Alto on the
Sth and Ravina &c la Palma on the 9Th oil
May, 1916"
Surmounling the battle scenes appears the
coat of arms of Louisiana, and in the centre
of the scabbard the American eagle richly
engraved. The grasp is composed of alter
nate mother OF pearl and gold facets, richly
engraved and studded, and protected by a
massive gold chain. The head represents a
revolutionary cap aud plume, surmounted by
precious cairnghorn stone.
