A sample line of oul new wall pa

arranged on the north side of our

you may quickly, conveniently, and
satisfactorily see the various effects.
and they are we'll worth looking a.
by all who admire the beautiful. If
you are a prospective purchaser you
will be particularly interested In this

struck a bargain Of 20 per cent. In
this lot Of baggage and we are willing
to make this difference in your favor
compared with previous lots. You
will probably find our prices for these
goods about that much cheaper than
anywhere else in town.
In the same window you will nc
tice two French plate mirrors that
will perhaps strike you As the most
unique and original in shape that
you've ever seen. One represents
a harp and the other a violin. They
were not placed there to tempt you,
but to relieve the huge pile of leather
that clusters about them. They are
for sale. however. and as holiday
gifts they would prove both useful
and ornamental.
We've been having a big run on
OVERSHOES-
all kinds -ladies', mems, misses
and children's. 1t must have leaked
out that We sell superior makes at the
same prices at which inferior makes
are sold by other houses. 1t Is
proper for us to mention in this con-
nection that we have a full line Of
ladies', misses and children's gum
boots.
While We have about converted
our entire establishment into q
BARGAIN BAZAAR,
still We haven't abolished bargain
tables. There's one in the front Of
our dry goods room that is remarka-
BILE not for the quantity Of goods 1t
contains, but for their cheapness.
Children's hoods at so cents; shoes al
about half-price; children's white

fit was tea that lent brand to the
pent-up fires of revolutionary aspira-
tons in New England, so it was the
grape, drinking the golden splendors
of the sun under the burning glory of
the Tetras CahieAfes, which was now
destined, as will shortly be seen, to
light the first beacon blaze Of Mexican
liberty. With Hidalgo the destruction
of his poor Indians vineyards was not
the first spark, though it proved to be
the last, and one not easily extin-
guished, ere it reached the magazine
OF patriotism so long buried in his
bosom. He had meditated for years
on the unnatural cruelty of Spain and
her official minions towards his own
people. He had chafed under their
reflection as word was brought to him
from other and more distant regions of
his country. But now his own people,
his own flesh and blood, children of
the Sieras like himself, felt and stag
gered under the blow.

leathern knights for whom there was
no more loot in captured cities nor
kingly honors in conquest or discov-

Golfers must sensibly suffer, so one fine
morning the soldiery cut down Hidal-
COS vines, trampled the ripening grapes
and after destroying the hedges and
pounding into dust the adobe walls
which grit in the vineyards, they beat
hasty retreat. Word was brought to
the priest Hidalgo of this vandal out
rage. He was at the altar, surrounded
by his flock, celebrating his mass, when
a truant Indian boy brought the mes.
sage of disaster An old chief, whose
blood seemedto flame as the affrighted
lad narrated the sad tidings, started to
instantly inform the Padre, but was
suddenly stayed by the elevation of the
host, the most solemn moment of the
ceremony. Dropping on his knees, he
awaited the last tinkle of the bell that
announced the close Of this function,
and then gliding along like one of his
untamed ancestors in pursuit of veng-
ence, he mounted the altar steps to the
side of the robed priest, and then dis
closed all to him in few words. Hi

HIS MARTIAL CAREER BEGUN.
His congregation soon learned the
extent of their great loss as the whis-
pered horror went ronnd the kneeling
worshippers, so that at the close Of the
mass all were prepared to hear it from
their counsellor, guide and friend, Hi

stood before his sorrowing, simple
people almost speeches.. Recover

atmospheric pestilence. The Indians
and Creoles, who formerly disguised
their feelings under a thin mask of
shrewd stupidity, now revealed their

to San Miguel, town then of "a 900
inhabitants and only few leagues
distant, they carried it by storm and
Immediately confscated the effects of
all foreigners. At their head rode the
priest, Hidalgo, who over the cassock
had now donned the military jacket of
the period, while changing against the
sword by his side hung the crucifx of
his more peaceful calling.
His volunteer troops we're a motley
clad rabble. Armed with clubs, slaves,
missiles and machetes, in their rising
anger and constantly swelling numbers
they deemed themselves invincible,
and it is no small tribute to their
enthusiasm, as well as to their daring,
to learn that at no time in their long
campaign against the trained soldiers
of Spain did they possess more than
1000 muskets. From San Miguel the
insurgents, after leaving that place
well garrisoned, proceeded to Zelaya,
mastering recruits at every step, as the
natives, weary with three centuries of
Spanish tyranny, and groaning under
the exactions Of ffty-nine Viceroys,
focked from every mountain and val
ley to the standard of the Cross and
Mexican independence. Zelaya, al
though strongly fortified, fell before the
besiegers like child's TOULOUSE swept
by an unexpected breeze. They rushed
blindly upon their enemies, rallying to
the new battle-cry of death to the
Gachupines!" The result of this on
slaught was dreadful. Neither age
nor sex was spared before the fury of
these semi.barbarous poems, for the
first time enjoying a liberty never
dreamed of, and exercising a license
of carnage which no leader could
restrain.
THE DOGS OF WAR.
Hidalgo had "let slip the dogs Of
The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1883-12-20

we're driven into the shafts and tun-
nels Of the mountain, there to remain,
half-starved and almost naked, till
bonanza had been struck. His coun-
try swarmed with petty officials, all Of
them the needy and the riotous of
foreign land. But few natives were
permitted to engage in public affairs;
and then, more calling than all, was
the insolent threat of one of the Vid-
OreS-a threat that spat on them, that
lashed their bare backs und drove the
iron into their souls-a threat an
nounced in the stately, grandiose
vigor of Castilian venom, that "while
a Manchego mule or Biscayan cob
bier remained in New Spain, no Mex
lean could dare hold office"
.Goaded forward by all these renec-
tons, Hidalgo was already one of
deep secret conspiracy to overthrow
the present order of affairs. He had
been biding his time to strike the first
offensive blow for long period, and
the decisive moment had now arrived.
But, strange to say, the plot at this
juncture was discovered. One of the
conspirators, on his death-bed con.
fessed all and implicated Hidalgo as
the chief fomenter. Immediately the
government was on the alert and dis
patched troops to arrest him. Don
Ignacio Allende, Captain of Spanish
infantry garrisoned in the adjoining
town of San Miguel, fastened to car
ry the tidings of peril to his friend, the
priest of Dolores. A long conference
ensued. The curate painted in pas
sionate language the wrongs of his
countrymen and the splendid prospects
of a successful revolution, and both
closed and crowned the friendly inter-
view by winning over to his cause the
very captain sent to sieze HIM.
THE FIRST ATTACK.
This was on Sept. IS, 1870. Not a
moment was lost, Hidalgo instantly
secured the cooperation of ten of his
Pensioners, and three days later gave
the signal for revolt by Selling and
imprisoning seven Europeans and
dividing their property among his
insuirectionary followers. The upris,
