MEXICO’S RURALES. A Crack Corps of Ten Thousand Mounted Miflemen. There is no branch of the military service of other countries which can be likened to the Rurales of Mexico.

The Rurale is like a Cossack in that he is more at home in the saddle than on foot, but there the similarity ends. Mexico has her cavalry contingent, but that branch of the service is as distinct from the Ru- rales as itis from the infantry or the artillery. Frequent of warring revolutions, a multitude leaders, a political con- dition which gave rise to the word “Mexicanized’’—all_ these helped to produce the material of which this corps of the army has grown. To be plain, the fact is Mexico has mobilized her guerrilas and banditti, and has named the new branch of the service “the Rurales.”’ The process has been a slow one. To make of the most lawless elements of the whole country the best soldiers has been a great work, but Mexico has ac- complished it. There are now nearly ten thousand Rurales, and the country enjoys an immunity from revolutionary outbreaks and highway outrages such as has never been known before Cortez came. The experiment was one of risk, but the principle proved to be right, just as it has hundreds of times on the front- ier of this country, when the worst man of the town has been selected as marshal to enforce the law and order. What the experience of Texas has been on a small scale with a few companies of rangers, that has been the result: in Mexico on a very large plan with the | Rurales. | foot was well nigh shot off and the blood is BATES COUNTY The Mexican private soldier is from il . the lower class.

We found her binding her “little oats” in a tield—a tall, handsome, sad- eyed woman. On the to her house she took us up a bit of rising ground to show us a view. ‘‘Ah,”” she said, “it’s seldom I come up here now; it was here I used to walk up every evening to meet himself coming from the mountain. He was a good man. Never s bad word had he given me all the years we were married; and now to be left alone! I don’t seem to care for any thing—not for a thing at all. But I wouldn’t curse them that mur- dered him; I'm trying not even to wish them ill in my heart. Shure, he for- gave them before he died, and why wouldn't I?” We then went into the honse, which was one of two rooms, 4 good living room, with a small sleep- ing room off it. “It was here by the fireside we were sitting, just the same way as we were used to sit every even- ing, himself on a chair at this side, and I just a bit behind him, and Tim and the three little ones ou a stool in front of the fire, and Alice at her dad's feet be- tween him and the door of the other room. Iwas a bit vexed with Alice, who had just come in, and I was a bit vexed with her for being out so late; and she was telling us how she heard them saying that the Moonlighters were going round the farms asking for arms, and I said to himself, ‘they'll gun, anu himself got up—for he saw { there wasn’t any other way—and went | up to the shelf where was the revolver; | and while he was there two of them came up to where he was sitting at the | fire, and dared Tim and the childer to be looking at them, with a revolver in his hand; and they all held their heads bent down. But they never sighted Alice, who was behind, and she was looking at them all the time. One man came and spoke quite friendly to me; he had his eyes leaping outof his head, burning like fire, and that was all I could see of his face. When himself had given them the revolver and showed them how to fire it—for there was some- thing uncommonlike about it—he came ‘ack and sat himself down by the fire, and we thought they were for going away. Just as they got nigh the door a voice cried out, ‘No. 1, do your duty.” It was No. 1 or No. 3, I don’t rightly know which; and one stepped forward and fired, and then they all went out. We sat just as we was, without a word spoken till the smoke had scattered; and I looked at Dan and saw that he looked pale like, and then he said: ‘Tim, pull off my boots;’ and then when he rolled up his trousers I saw that his streaming on the floor, and the little fellow ran up and tried to be putting the blood back into his dad’s body with his little hands; and when he saw that that was no use, he got his arms around his neck until it was hard to part them. Then Tim’said: ‘I'll go for the priest.’ Thad never thought of the priest—God forgive me—I had only thought for him; and then I told Tim to get the priest and the doctor and not to spare the mare; and I put my arms around him where he sat on his chair, and said to him: ‘Dan, you'll forgive them?’ for I was afeard that he might die with- out forgiving them. He said: ‘God forgive them.’ and I knew he had for- given them, for he was able to pray for them that had murdered him. Then I put down my lips to his. and his were growing cold as the clay.’ —Letter ofa Kerry Lady to the Scotsman. —_+ + > ——_ ANECDOTE OF DICKENS. How the Great Novelist Disappointed Frith, the Artist. The artist Frith, in his autobiography recently published, gives the following incident of his acquaintance with the great novelist. While Dickens was giving public readings Frith was strong- ly impressed with the idea ‘that the author had wholly misconceived the true ¢ eter of one of his own crea- tion that of Sam Weller himself, in reading whose jaunty utterances Dick- ens “lowered his voice to the tone of one who was rather amed of what he was saying, and afraid of being re- proved for the freedom of his utter- ances.” Frith $ “When I determined to tell the great author that he had mistaken his own work I knew I should be treading on dangerous ground. But on the oceasion of a sitting, when my victim was more than ever good-tempered, I unbur- dened my mind, giving reasons for my objections. Dickens listened, smiled faintly, and said not a word. A few days after this my friend Elmore asked my opinion of the readings, telling me he was going to hear them, and I frankly warned him that he would be disappointed with the character of Sam Weller. A few days more brought a call from Elmore, who roundly abused me for giving him an utterly false ac- count of the Weller episode. *« Why,’ he said, ‘the sayings come from Dickens like pistol shots; there was no ‘sneaking’ way of talking as you describe it.’ “Can it be possible,” thought I, ‘that this man, who, as it is told of the great Duke of Wellington, never took anybody's opinion but his own, has adopted from my suggestion a render- ing of the children of his brain diamet- rically opposed to his own conception of it?” “At the next sitting all was ex- plained, for on my telling Dickens what Elmore had said, with a twinkle in his eye which those who knew him must so well remember, he replied: “ol altered it a little—made smarter.” ***You can’t think how proud I feel,’ said I, ‘and surprised, too; for, from my knowledge of you, and what I have heard from other people, you are about the last man to take advice about any thing, least of all about the way of reading your own books.’ *-On the contrary,” was the reply, ‘whenever I am wrong I am obliged to any one who will tell me of it; but up to the present I have never been wrong!’ '’—London Standard. — + > —_—_- A Dog That Waters Horses. it Cyrus Sturtevant, livery stable keep- er of Ware, has the dearest dog in town.
