Immediately after the collapse of

prominent Confederate Generals on
duty in the trans-Mississippi Depart
mentGeneral Jos. Shelby went to
Mexico with about 250 armed follow
ers, mostly Missourians, with tlie
avowed Intention of settling with them
in that country. That the enterprise
proved unfortunate and that tlie men
engaged in it met with many perilous
adventures ami personal mishaps, are

Mexican bandits some days after the
men had left Monterey tor Sau Louis

The colnuin had reached to within
two days' journey of Lampasa s. Some
spurs of the mountain ran down to the
road, and some clusters of palm trees
grouped themselves at intervals by the
wayside. Tlie palm is a pensive tree,
having a voice in the wind that is sad
der than the pine a sober, solemn i
voice like the sound of muftled cere
merits when the corpse is given to the I
coffin. Even in the sunlight they are j
dark ; even in the tropics no vine clings !
to them, no blossom is born to them, j
no bird is housed by them, and no lint- i

Strange and Ahftpely and coldly chaste.
they seem like human and desolate
beings, standing all alone in the midst
of luxurious nature, unblessed of the i
soil and unloved of the dew and the 1
sunshine. In a grove of tliese the
column halted mr the night. Beyond
them was a pass guarded by crosses,
In that treacherous land these are a
growth indigenous to tlie soil. They
flourish nowere else in such abundance.
Wherever a deed of violence is done a
cross Is planted : wherever a traveler
is left upon his face in a pool ot blood,
a cross is reared ; wherever a grave is
made wherein lies the murdered one.
tliere is seen a cross. No matter who
does tlie deed whether Indian, or dog,
or commandante. a cross must mark
the spot, and as the pious wayfarer
journeys by he lays all reverently a
stone at tlie feet of the sacred symbols,
breathing a pious prayer, and' telling
a bead or two for the soul's salvation.
On tlie left a wooded bluff ran down
abruptly to a stream. Beyond the
stream and near the palms, a grav
bottom spread Itself out, soft and grate
ful. Here the blankets were spread,
and here tlie horses grimed their fill.

ami settling upon the faces of the
sleepers. On the ftr right a single
pistol-shot arose, clear and resonant.
Shelby, wlm slumbered like a night
bird, lifted himself tip from bis blank
ets and spoke iu an undertone to
Thrailkilli
" Who lias tlie post at the mouth ot
the pass?" " Joe Maeey." "Then
something , ,1s stirring. Maeey never
fired at a shadow in his life."
Tlie two men listened. One a grim
guerilla himself, with tlie physique of
a ossacK ami tne hearing or a Com
anche. The other having in bis hands tlie
lives of all the silent and inert sleepers
lying still and grotesque under the
white shroud of tlie mountain mist.
The two men went to sleep again, but
not to dream. Of a sudden and un
seen the mist was lifted, and iu its
place a sheet of flame so near to tlie
faces of tlie men that it might have
scortiied them. Two hundred Mexi
cans had crept down tlie mountain and
to the edge of the stream, and liad
fired point blank into the camp. It
seemed a miracle, but not a man wa
touched. Lying flat upon the ground
and wrapped tin In their blankets the
whole volley meaut to lie murderous
had swept over them. Shelby was
the first, upon his feet. His voice rang
out clear and faultless and without a
tremor, "Give them the revolver.
Charge ! " Men awakened from deep
sleep grapple with spectres slowly.
The Mexicans were spectres. Beyond
the stream and in amid the sombre
shadows of the palms tiicy were invisi
ble. Only the powder-pall was on the
water where the mist hail been.
Unclad, barefooted, heavy with
sleep the men went straight for the
mountain, a revolver in each hand,
Shelby leading. From spectres the
Mexicans had become to be bandits.
No quarter was given nor asked. The
rash lasted until Hie game was flushed;
tlie pursuit until the top of the moun
tain was gained. Over ragged rock
and cactus and dagger trees the hurri-
oanc poured. The roar of the revol
vers was deafening. Meu died and
made no moan, and the wounded were
recognised only by their voices. When
it was orer, the Americans had lost Iu
killed eleven, and iu wonuded seven
teen, most of the latter slightly, thanks
to the darkness and tlie impetuosity of
tlie attack. In crawling upon tlie
camp, the Mexicans had tethered their
horses upon the further side of the
mountain. The most of these fell into
Shelby's hands, together with tlie
bodies of the two leaders, Juan Ansel
mo, a renegade priest, ami Antonio
Mores, a young Cuban, who liad sold
bin Ulster to a wealthy liaciendaro and
i miv
,,lmed robber, and sixty-nine of their
followers. It was noon tl
noon the next day
before the march was resinned noon,
with the sun shining upon tlie fresh
graves of eleven dauntless Americans
sleeping their last sleep amid the palms
and the crosses until the resurrection
day.
How to mount a Horse. A letter
from Peru gives a ludicrous account
of the mode of mounting a horse. Tlie
women do all the work, and the men
are a good-for-nothing set ot gamblers
and thieves. The women ride on tlie
hindquarters of their horses, without a
saddle, crosslegged, with a load on the
hOWe in trout. They mount the an
imal by taking hold "of his tail, mak
ing a loop by douoiing it tip and clasp
ing with the hand the uper and low
er parts of the tail, and tlien, putting
one foot in the loop and the other on
the joint of the horse's lee, tliey ascend
as If going upstairs. They usually
stand erect on the horse Iiefore sitting
down. The horses never kick or stir.
Too many persons suffer extremely
from felons on the finger. These af
flictions are not only very painful, but
frequently occasion permanent crip
pling of the member affected. The
following simple prescription is recom
mended as a cure for the distressing
ailment : lake common rock-salt,
such as is used for salting jxirk or beef,
dry in an oven, then pound fine and
mix with spirits of turpentine, equal
parts, rut u on a cloth and wrap
around the parts affected, and as it
gets dry put on more, and in twenty-
tour hours you are cured the felon

try it.

to cool his burning brow, was startled
by the display about the frosty pole,
