Republican. The recent prospect of war with Mexico. now happily passed, has called up many .... ... - t ^ ( queer recollections and stories of the cac tus country, one of which, although it was printed in the German papers at the time, has never been published in the Uni led States. When Maximilian made his his toric fiasco, he was accompanied by quite a number of German officers, adventurers of good family, and the most thoroughgo- ady to ing poverty, who were quite ready to maud their fortunes in any way that promised the greatest turn. It was from one of the party who was concerned in the episode toid below, Mr. W. H. Weyer. that the Republican reporter heard the story. Weyer had been a lieutenant in Maximilian’s service. In a church at a place called Meixoti, some twenty miles out of the Cit of Mexico there was, and is, a statue of the Virgin, to which miracu lous powers have long been ascribed by the Mexicans. Votive offerings of the most costly description have been again and again laid upon her shrine by the de vout. The richest article in the collec tion is a veil which is almost encrusted with diamonds. For nearly throe centu ries the pious Spaniards have been in the habit of vowing A JEWEL TO THE VEIL of Our Lady of Meixoti if they returned safely from the voyage home to Spain. Weyer and others had seen this veil, and alter the break down of the foreign at tempt to establish an empire they resolved if possible to carry it off. It was said to be worth fully §200,000. The party which planned the robbery consisted of Weyer and' two companions. They established relays of horses and a depot of complete disguises, and took every precaution to in sure their escape. The village in which the church stood was a small one, and there was every chance that the magnificent prize might be carried off' In one bold dash. They feared to make the attempt at night, as the country was mountainous and the roads wretched ly unsafe, so that a fast escape in the dark would be out of the question. It was about 3 o’clock in the afternoon that, they made the effort. The church, us is the custom, was open and only a couple of old women were inside. Two of the three men walk ed quietly in, the third holding the horses, and in less time than it takes to write the words tlie veil was in their possession and they were galloping across the hillside. The alarm was raised before they were clear of the village, and a pursuing party at once began the chase. IT WAS A RIDE FOR LIFE, for the Mexicans would consider the profa nation of a church a worse crime than the robbery. Roth sides had good horses, but the natives had a little advantage from their knowledge of the country. One short cut brought them almost in range of Weyer and his friends, and a volley was fired, but without result. The man who was carrying the veil rode in the lead, the others bringing up the rear. They had thus gone for nearly an hour when they came to a narrow part of the road scooped out of the hillside, and as their horses were completely blown they determined to make a stand and try to fight the Mexi cans off'. It was a natural sort of a forti fication, which they made stronger in a daughter of a wealthy farmer living in one of the eastern counties of tills state. On the day of the Wedding the bridegroom was driven in a buggy through a country roao in the direction of his prospectivi father-in-law’s house. Not being familiar with the neighborhood, he stopped in front ofn dilapidated log cabin and Inquired 01 a lank man who was leaning nguinst the rail fence: “Is this the way to Mr. Poddor’s*?” The lank man hitched up his trouser: and said: “Be you goin’ to Podder’s?” “Yes.” “That’s where the doin’s is to-night. Hi.- darter’s going to he hitched.” “Yes.’’ *‘Who she goin’ to git?” “A man named Tompkins,” said the blushing bridegroom. Is he any good ?” “Pretty poor stick, I’ve been told.” “Has he got any style ?” “Not much." Well,” said the old man, with a sigh of moat, relief, “I’m glad he’s such a poor s for my gals has got an invite to the wed- din’, and I heard nobody could go that couldn’t eat with their forks. My gals can’t eat with their forks, but I recoil I’ll let ’em go. Podder’s is two miles straight ahead. Till 1 Severn Tunnel. Tlie now completed Severn tunnel is not only pronounced one of the greatest en gineering works of the age, but remarka ble also in one feature of its construction, namely, that of passing under an arm of the sea. The tunnel extends from New Passage to Portskowet, a distance of two and one-half'miles under the water, its entire length, exclusive of approaches, being about four and one-half miles, re quiring thirteen years to build. << CHUMPS” Who Gather in the Ducats at the Expense of Suffer ing Humanity. rile Glaring Gall Exhibited by Won- UrolVHsloiial I-'imimIm.

The country is flooded with bogus medicine men, and in a few coses, a heavy capital is alt they have to sustain their prestige. Numerous cleverly concocted certificates are forced upon the unsuspecting, purporting to have “snatched from the grave” some poor victim of blood poison, or other disease, when to our knowledge, the identi cal persons lay groaning in agony while the pub lic were reading of their remarkable recovery. Another serious olfcnse is the publication of erroneous statements concerning various drugs, such as are daily prescribed by our best phy sicians. declaring them to be deadly poison. Iodide of potash, which seems to receive their greatest condemnation, when proscribed by phy sicians, and in the proper combination with cer tain compounds, is not only harmless, but foi ms one o the most powerful antagonists to blood poison known to the medical world.

Weyer held his despe rate position until darkness came, and then after a series of hairbreadth escapes which seem almost incredible, he got away and successfully eluded pursuit. The veil was recovered by the Mexicans and re stored to the church, where, however, a much more vigilant watch has since been kept upon it.

THE NEAH BEGINNING OE THE FALL SEASON ,P£GRANGE.GA.- “Frequently have scenes like that,” ob served Jhe eler ! clerk to me; “but we haven’t relaxed our rule once—no, not once.” That accounted for the fact that all the season I had seen but one dog in the hotel, in which some days 800 men and women found food and shelter. That one was a tramp which had strayed into the office and had been promptly ejected by a big porter with a broom. I made inquiry at other hotels and found that all of them were this year rigorously excluding dogs of every species.

Mrs. George W. Childs, by the way, was . weorge w. uduus, uy me ; grieved over the death of her little pet, “Zip,” her Dandie Dinmont terrier. The little creature had an interesting his tory, and in the home of its mistress had met very many of the distinguished men and women of the day, both of this country and Europe. One of its traits was an un conquerable dislike for the late General Grant. While the general was here in the summers agone, “Zip” ielt that his refuta tion for bravery required that he should sit out on the lavvn and bark wickedly for an hour or two whenever the general came out 011 his piazza to take the air. Mrs. Childs ha3 also, within a week or two, lost a valuable and highly-trained Spanish terrier. Still she has one or two little creatures left who are in the best canine society. Mrs. Thomas McKean, who was here in the beginning of the season, has a toy-like Skye, whose toilet is scrupulously attended to every morning. Her mother- in-law, Mrs. Henry Pratt McKean, has a silver Skye that reposes on silk and is daily bathed in perfumed water. Mr. Ernest Law, of the Philadelphia club, is usually accompanied by a pair of Gordon setters, the finest, some people think, in all the country. They arc twins and perlect counterparts. The three daughters of the late F. A.
