Mexican Robbers.

n vera CIuZ correspondent OF Lac view
York Sun gives quite burlesque sketch
Of the bandits who.infest the highways of
Mexico. According to him, they are the
complete pinks of courtesy, who depre-
date with the utmost politeness, and an
occasional touch of malignity. Witness the
following: .......... .... .s.,. .......
Some of the adventures of these men
would not dishonor Robin Hoods circle,
under the greenwood tree. One was told
me the day left Mexico, by an actor in
the play: A young, sad looking girl. just
a year married, was returning from Mon
terey, widow, mother, and almost des-
titute, to her family near Mexico. She
was one Of considerable party, and some
of them well armed-but that did not pre-
vent smaller number of ladrones from
OBTAINING them all, while their baggage
was rifed. The poor widows wardrobe
was scant, and her money melted down to
a very few dollars, which she gave up, Of
course, without resistance. The chief of
the robbers glanced at the small sum, at
her poor apparel, and at the child in her
arms, and gently replaced the money in
the child's lap. A priest, who was bring
ing handsome sum for some public pun
pose, was obliged to resign it, though eight
dollars which he had in his pocket, and
said, in reply to the question, was his own
travelling funds, were restored, with many
respectful apologies for the necessity they
were under of disturbing him. 4 rich Ha-
ciendo, meanwhile, was tied to tree and
threatened with touch of discipline from
the brides of one of the ladrone party, be-
cause no money was found upon him; at
this point, however, he plead guilty to
twenty doubloons, 1920. hemmed up in
the corner Of his serapa, or travelling blan-
ket. The widow, who saw all this in ST.
lent, helpless terror, now turned her eyes
on her trunk, which, with the rest, was
now undergoing what might well be called
an extra judicial examination. Nothing in
it was worth the robcer's attention, but
the miniature of her husband, whom |
should have before stated, was lieuten.

saw one Of the robbers lay his hand on the
treasured relic. the unfortunate wife could
not suppress an expression Of pain. 1t
struck the ear and heart of the lawless
man, and with the single word "widow,"
he put the miniature in her hand. She de-
tached the chain and presented it to him,
with many thanks for the picture, remark
ing that it was "a great charity. The
robber returned the courtesy by placing
the clothes in her trunk and returning the
key-for all theparty had given up their
keys on demand. The rest did as much
for themselves, and, after giving the I'M
happy loser Of the doubloons dollar for
his supper and bed, the robbers mounted
their horses and went their ways. This
cool inquest occurred within twenty miles
of the city of Mexico, which was garrison.
