How she French Disposed Of Mexi-
can Robbers.
San Antonio (Texas) Herald

When the French were in Mex
leo, the stage robberies in the yicin-
ity of Monterey became almost as
frequent as they are getting to be
between here and Kingbury. With
the practical common sense for
which the French ere distinguished
when they go about killing people,
the French general at Monterey
devised a plan that worked like a
charm. He picked out halfa dozen
of his smallest Zouayes, and dressed
them up as females, and put them
in the stage. Each unprotected
female had a short breach-loading
carbine concealed under his petit
pants, and they covered their de-
mure faces by walls. Of course,
the robbers surrounded the stage,
and the ladies, with an excess of
feminine modesty, climbed out of
the vehicle, and fell in line with
the rest of the passengers, when OF
a sudden an epidemic broke out
among those Mexican patriots, for
each lady, on an average, destroyed
about three of them, and the rest
lost all taste for female society, and
went away disgusted.
The ladies returned to town in
high glee, but for a long time the
Mexican bandits entertained such a
lofty yeneration for the gentler sex
that an old bonnet and a shawl dis
played consplcuously in stage Sc.

The bicycle continues to gain
fresh deyotees in England, and is
no longer open to sceptics to pooh
pooh the advantages Of the ma
chine as a means Of locomotion, A
very simple answer to such cavillers
might be given by the five hundred
bicyolists who recently assembled
in Busby Park, London, for a grand
meet. The bicyclists were for the
most part young men, but the mid
dle-aged were strongly represented,
and there were some who might
claim to be venerable. There were
not acfcw noblemen and members
of Parliament there, too, and alto
gether it was very distinguished
gathering. That the metropolis
should be able to produce nearly

Speaker Blaine desired to eXcep, jeff
Davis, on the ground OF his in!'un,an treat.
lnent to federal prisoners. He made q
very strong though injudicious speech
which evoked replies from Mes>rs. Hill,
OF Georgia, and Cox, Of New York, and II
rejolnder by Mr. Garfield, Of Ohio. The
debate WAS characterized by the exhibi
bltion IF great power, and creates n pro.
found sensation throughout the country,
hut aside from the ability which charac.
,erized it, it is chiefly remarkable for lis
tendency to excite anew the feelings Of
hatred and jealousy Which were prominen,
between the north and the south for a
long time after the war. Il il the general
impression that Mr.. Blaine did not foresee
the result of his action and that it will not
only be unfortunate to the country but in.
furious to bis political prospects,.
