REJOICING In MEXICO.
The Leading Quartette Of the Mexico
Bandits Take an Excursion-.More
to Follow Soon.

A few weeks since, the LEDGER ex-
posed the workings of gang of col
ored bandits in Mexico. Last Sat-
u1day, at special term of the Cir
cult court. the leaders Of this gang
got what they deserved. Frank Nor
ton and John NARROW were sent over
the river for twelve years; Jane
Richards and Mollie Ham got two
years eaeh.. This will, IN measure
stop house breaking in Mexico. The
police are on the look out, and re-
port that they have good prospects
of catching few more of the same
gang. Norton is pretty smart
coon. and tried to slip out by lay
ing all blame on other parties; he
then said, he would not go to the
pen alive, and talked of eating glass
and committing suicide; but he went
over just the same and there are
more to follow.

The Bad Boy.

The opera house contained good deal
more than an average audience last night
to see Peck's Bad Boy played by Atkin-
sons Comedy Co. The company Is
good one, fully equal to the work. Miss
Bishop, who personates "Hennery," is a
particularly bright young woman and does
first-class work. 1t is all the hugest,
broadest, craziest burlesque, but admit
ting that and judging the performance
upon that basis, it is very well done, and
as the audience was not the least particu-
lar in the world, there was no end Of ap-
plause.
Much has been said about the moral
effect of this performance and there were
certainly some reason to bear its influence
on BOYS. As matter of fact the show is
as harmless as mother Goose; the breadth
of its absurdlty is visible to the simplest
comprehension, and We can no more I'M
agine boy entertaining thought ol
| imitation than of the wonderful but gory
feats of Jack the Giant Killer. Its onil
object is to make people laugh, and II

There has been an indescribable
feeling all along on the part of the
editor Of this great engine Of civiliza-
tion that the habit Of giving advice

Honrandez seized the bunch of
skeleton keys, and after few trials,
which the lady seemed to watch with
the most painful anxiety, sprang the
bolt. The door swung upon its hing
es, and the lady. telling Honrandez
not to close it, as it was self-locking,
sprang into the vault. Honrandez
did not follow. He heard the mur-
mur of low voices within, and the
next moment the lady reappeared,
and leaning upon her arm was a man,
with face so pale and haggard that
Honrandez started at the sight. What
intense suffering the unfortunate man
must have endured during the three
long days of his confinement! -,-.
"Remain here," she said, 81 will
be back in a moment
The two slowly ascended the stairs
and entered room Immediately over
where Honrandez was standing. In
less than minute the lady returned.
"Shall close it, madam?'' said
Honrandez, placing his hands upon
the door of the vault.
"No! no." she exclaimed, hastily
selling his arms, sit awaits another
occupant"
MADAM, you certainly do not IN
tend TO-
care you ready?" she interrupted
impatiently, holding the handkerchief
to Honrandez's eyes. The thought
flashed across his mind that she in
tended to push him into the vault
and bury him and his secret together.
She seemed to read his suspicion and
continued: '.Do not be alarmed you
are not the man. .
Honrandez could not mistake the
truth or the fearful meaning OF the
remark, but he shuddered as he bent
his head to the handkerchief.
His eyes were carefully bandaged
and he was led to the carriage, and
thence home by more circuitou'
route, if possible, than the one by
which he came. Arriving in from
of the house the handkerchief wa
removed and Honrandez stepped
from the vehicle. A purse OF 500
was placed in his hands, and in
moment the cab and its mysteriou
> occupant had turned the corner ant
were out Of sight.
Honranlez entered his shop and th
