When Lent Comes Round.

When Lent comes round, heavenly thrill,
Like music from a piaintive lutte,
Steals through the heart, and all is still
When Lent comes round.
Then fashion puts on sorrows suit;
Meek penitents their vows fulfil;
Loud laughing gayety is mute
When Lent comes round.
The voices of the world sound shrill;
The spirit shrinAs from harsh dispute
And bows to the celestial will
When Lent comes round.

Noted Mexican Bandit Chief C .ptursd.

HorsroS. Texss, Oct. 23.-There will
be peace on the Mexican border new that
the noted bandit. Teiestore Hernandez, has
been CAPTURED. A private telegram re-
csised here Yesterday from FL Paso, Tex,
states that Mexiesn troops effected the cap
ture of the famous bandit chief three days
ago near San Pedro Coloniss. Coabuila.
and il is likely that his life will pay the
forfeit for the scores of murders he has
committed. For the past few weeks Her
nsndez's iepredations have been so out
ri geons that special force Of picked riils
mca vas rent out against him ard succeed
ed in mskiog him prisoner after desperate
struggle. Hernandez recently created con
sterBa,ion in the Northern States of Mexico
by inaking arrangements TO combine his
forces with Colonel RIM Ssndovnl in 4
revolutionary movement attempted from
Texas into Mexico. but which proved to be
farce. Scouts have been watching his
movements closely since that time, ard his
capture was the result. Hernandez terror
lied the State Of Coabuila for many years,
and was very bold and cunning in commit.
ting his higisay rotberies. lie was most
picturesque bandit and was surrounded by
a notorious gang of cutthroats.
