The FARMER THAT DINED WITH THE LAWYER
The following anecdote Of the eating house are
given on the authority Of the "KRickpbOcker,"
They prove certainly that there are more things
"hashed up, into what are called made dishes
than hungry men are always aware Of

countryman replied. Il guess not don't taste like
beef TO me and he regarded the amphibious look
ing dish before him with thoughtful solicitude -
At the next mouthful, he laid his knife and fork
down. and asked with eager curiosity, Amt this a
French eating house 2 1T is answered the lawyer
Then it is dog he exclaimed removing the last
morse from his mouth as a sailor relieves his jaws

lent restaurant at which they were dining, so great
was his prejudice against the French cuisine, that
he could not be persuaded to take another morsel.
When they were walking home, he said to his
friend, MY neighbor Jones was down TO York
once, and being very fond O. sassengers, he went
into eatin' shop TO get some. While he was a

He looked at the keeper and see he was little

Mexican Cavalry officers.

We alluded recently TO an article in the Courier
des Etats Uns, upon the Mexican army, which sta
ted, that Santa Anna had for his lieuienants, men
Of approved capacity and that among them
were Cortazar, Gu man, Torrejon and Mnon, who
commanded tenfhousana cavalry posted in the vi
ciniiy of San Luis de Potosi. From information
drawn from private sources, we have reason TO be-
lieve that the officers named are indeed men of
more than ordinary bravery and military skill.
Cortazar is a member of one Of the first families
in the department of Guanajuato--a family that
has always taken a leading part in the affairs of
Mexico He received the rank he now holds in
lS4l-being then the Governor of Guanajuato.-
In the year just mentioned, Santa Anna pronounce
ed against the President Bustamente, who, doubt
ing the loyalty of Cortazar, sent him the Generals
sash, as an indictment to be faithful. But the
present had not The desired effect; or rather, as
some say, it arrived at Guanajuato day two too
late.
Cortazar is good cavalry officer, but inferior to
the other three Mexican generals whose names are
mentioned by the writer in the Courier
And foremost ameng them is Guzman. There
is scarcely cavalry officer in the Mexican army,
who has seen more service than he has 1t was in
1889, or in 1910, that Guzman received the rank
Of General Of Brigade, which was not the reward
ofpolaicol intrigue, OF regeneration. II was won
by hard fighting
In the department Of Morea he maintained for
