The Silver HighwaYmen.

Twenty-Five pIdtcddos entered the
town of Tulancingo the other day, and
took off horses belonging to Gen. Rojo,
the military commander of the place,
whom they were after, but failed to lind.
-MericaR Standard.
The piatcades are band of brigands
or highwaymeu, whose origin dates
further back than the beginning of the
present century. The name signifies the
'silver-plated, and was given them on
account of their display of silver-plated
arms, dress, and horse equipments.
Every piece of metal. such as buckles,
stirrups, buttons, bridle-bits, and even to
the horses shoes of this band, are either
made of solid silver or are plated.
They are the dread and scourge of the
valleys of Mexico, Toluca and Puebla,
and stories of their operations are nu.
merous as those of our Indian wars.
Their stand by resort is the mountain
Businesses of Mount Melncha, situated
northeast of Puebla, mountain the
diameter of whose base is seventy five
miles long. Although they have been
outlawed by every conservative admin
istration, they have always been found in
the Liberal army. Juarez pardoned
them in 1867. They then Joined Diaz'
army, fought at Puebla and in front of
Mexico until that city fell, when they re-
turned 10 Mount Melincha and to rob-
bing.
There are about six hundred Mexicans
in the band, but they operate in small
divisions. The instance of their en-
trance to Tulancingo, as quoted above,
is a sample of their daring. That city
has from $4,000 to 10000 inhabitants,
yet twenty-five of the plateados went
into it, hunted for the c0nmandante,
and, not finding him, carried his horses
to their resort.
kidnapping people and holding them
for ransom is their principal source OF
revenue. Ladies of wealthy families are
taken by them and held until ransomed,
but no instance of their receiving per-
sonal harm or insult while in their
power is known. In 1853 they kid
mapped wealthy widow of the city of
Puebla, and demanded and received
$50, 900 ransom money for liberating her.
Their recruits are mostly from the
wealthy families of the cities of Mexico,
Puebla and Toluca. They live jovial,
extravagant life, and are free from
prosecution as long as the Liberal ad-
ministration is in power.-Broicnsrtlle
(Tezas) Ranchero.
