The bandit has ,-Vea nothing on bis expeditions, but has W“j f.njij for all supplies, and it has been a j*! rce of wonder where his funds came (run. Montez de Oca, bishop of Monterey lids leader of the clericals, who bai been fmijbed for disobeying the restrictions of government upon the church, is said to Z t ‘ financier of the insurrection. It is well known that the clerical party is Aj| n g under the limitations placed upon ie church by tho Dlsz administration, and would welcome a change of government, ea a transformation to a monarchy. The Isurbide family is said to be allied v. ith the iericais and Prince Iturbide, an avowed candidate for the presidenoy against Diaz. Id 1564 Mrs. Iturbide, the mother of the nriDCe, spent four days in the palace of Kbup Montez de Ooa. She was thon trav ilicz iac galto. About this time young Iturbide began his agitation, claiming to t* the heir apparent to the throne of Mexico. Two days before Garza attempted b:i first forage into Mexico Mrs. Iturbide, ntniing through Laredo to attend the trial of her ton, stopped over at the Wilson bouie. TbQ immenie wealth of the clerical party libaoking Garza in the nucleus of a revo lution which abali give Iturbide the Presi dency as a steppirg-stone to a crown and restore to the church its abolished privi leges. Bishop Montez de Oca and the Iturbide are one. They hate Diaz and so dies Garza. They furnish the money and liarza does the work until the revolution shall assume such proportions that the silent power can safely show its hand, in such an enterprise the clericals have noth ing to lose, everything to gain. This is the story told by the dispatches from La roL "Frince” Iturbide, the heir to Mirmil ian's ill-fated crown, came to Washington last July after his release from imprison ment for insubordination against the Mexi can government, and has made this city his headquarters since, fie was seen last evening by a reporter of the Post at the Metropolitan Club, which, by the way, should be called the Cosmopolitan, since men from every nation on the globe gather under its roof. The aspirant to empire is a tall, broad- Ibouldcred, soldierly young man of little over 30 years, with dark brown hair, a red dish brown, closely cropped beard, and red face. " 1 don't understand you,” he said, when asked about his connection with tho liarza plot, "I presume you have seen the dispatches in the morning papei a referring to your self,” said tho reporter, handing him the Herald. His face lighted np as he took the paper. Twice he read the story through slowly and began to draw deep broatbs. "This is the first time I have seen it,” ho said, twisting the paper nervously in ms fingers. “Is it true that you are connected with the Garza revolution?” he was asked. '/This is the first that I have heard of this,''ho replied, pointing to tho article. "The report is fniss, then's” "! know nothing about it,” he said,shift iuj i'i ftii seat. “Were you identified with the clerical par;y when in Mexico?” questioned the re wrter. "I would rather not talk of theso mat ’replied the heir of Maximilian. ‘ls it a fact that you are a candidate for tae presidency!" "1 prefer not to say auything about it.” All other questions as to tho Garza revolu tion and 1 1 uihide’s political aspirations met xith the fame response that he did not wish to discuss these matters. “Have you taken up a permanent resi hwco m Washington!:” he was asked. i have boon in the city since last July, tashington is my home indefinitely,” ro- PM Iturbido. liroughout the interview the brevet enure was affable, but evidently nervous, it was plainly to be seen that the published feports agaitated him. . en ” r Komercu the Mexican minister, was ‘itrrnewed at his residence later in the erenmg about the situation in Mexico.

From the Cincinnati Commercial-Ocuette. Eight miles east of here, near Rockcastle river, is a famous group of wild, rocky, pine-covered hills, locally known as Round Stone-knobs. A oouple of days ago Dr. J. J. Kite, a prominent young dentist of this place, went with a dog and gun into that locality to shoot quail, and for a time he had excellent sport. About noon, however a thunder storm came up and he entered a deep, rocky gorge with the hopo of finding shelter from the menacing elements See ing au aperture in the cliff on his left he ante, ad it, and wa surprised find him self in a large winding gallery with steep and craggy walla on either sides, and with a roof that rapidly ascended to a con siderable hight. About 35 feet from the en trance was an object which arrested his at tention. It was a gigantic bowlder, oblong in shape, and weighing hundreds of tons lying in an oblique position on a high, jut ting ledge, w ith its huge crest upreared awfully into a gap in the cavern's roof. It looked as though a slight shock or the touch of a meddlesome hand might displace it aud cause it to come crashing down. Indeed, it was one of those frightful death-traps’ of nature, grim aud sinister, sometimes found in subterranean passages or upon jagged precipices. It is well known that Dr. Kite is of an adventurous disposition, also that he is a naturalist and geologist of no small repute. The novelty and excitement felt in penetrat ing the unexplored, so fascinating to daring spirits, allured and emboldened him. Believing that he should make some inter-* estir.g discoveries, he advanced resolutely into the cavern. As he did so his faithful dog suddenly curled its tail between its legs and made a speedy exit. At the same in stant the doctor saw two fiery eyes glancing from a dark corner. Hastily raising his gun, ho took deliberate aim and let go both barrels simultaneously. He neTer know vrhat the animal was or wbat became of it, for the infernal din that bellowed and re bellowed through the cavern was followed by an awful crush, suffocating columns of dust and dense darkness, and he was thrown violently forward and almost buried be neath masses of falling sand. He scrambled to his feet again, bleeding and grasping for breath, Terror-struck and appalled he realized that the huge bowlder above had been precipitated into the passage, completely blocking the corri dor and snutliug him, like the doors oi a Bmderous tomb, forever from the light e saw no way to escape. A Plutonian darkness eveloped him. Moreover, a vast tribe of bats, disturbed by the detonation of his gun and the shifting sound, begau to swarm along the passage, numbers of them alighting on his person. They wore of remarkable size and flerceuess, and seemed disposed to at tack him. So vicious did they become that he wan foroed to fight them off bv swift movements of his hatnls. They swept for ward in enormous flooks ns if to escape, and that quarter of the cavern was quickly alive with them. Stunned and o. ly partly aroused from their stupor thousands precipitated themselves against the jutting rooks and fell upon the floor dead and flapping awkwardly about in their wounded agouv. They swarmed on the doctor’s back end neck like huge bees. They dashed against hi* face and oluug to his clothes, his hair ond his beard, and their whirring wings, bellows-llko, whirled the dry dust of cent uries about in olouds, grievously ir ritating the hunter’s already exhausted lungs. Threatened with suffocation, he increased tho activity of his movements. He struck savagely, and hurled hundreds of the squeaking harpies upon the earth and trampled them under his feat. The cavern's rocky bottom became so slippery with the blood and scattered entrails of mangled bats that he could scarcely keep his foot ing. That he should preserve his equa nimity under such torture is wonderful, but that he did is manifest from what now transpired. Shaking off his fierce tormenters fora moment be pulled off his coat, and pouring over it the combustible contents of a whisky bottle which he carried in his hip pocket, he ignited it with a match, and as it blazed up, he begau to whirl it, a circle of flame and pungent smoke, about his head. Tne effect was magical. Ths bats, unable to bear the light and fumes, spread their Usings and b&gsn a precipitate flight to other parts of the cave. Surrounded by panic etrioken birds, oven under the spectral light of the torc.i, Kite presented the appearance of soruethiug in human, ghoulisti, demoniacal. Issuing from tho pockets of Ids burning coat could be heard the sound of bursting shells, which mingled strangely with his unearthly cries. Yelling and rushing from side to side of tho cavern, his hair tumbled over his forehead in tangled masses, and his faoe distorted with fury aud despair, he whisked the fiery brand about,scaring, scorching, and burning many alive, until the vast army of horrid creatures had been driven baok into further recesses of the underground ohamber. Nearly ex hausted, liis clothes and body wet with sweat and blood, he hagan to consider the possibility of escape from his orison house. If any avenuo of escape over the stupend ous bowlder still existed, which was un certain, it would have been madness to at tempt to scale it in the deep, reigning dark ness. He, therefore, abandoned such a hopeless idea, and sought to find some vul nerable point at the side of the seemingly impassable stone barrier. By the light of a sickly blaze which played over the smoking remnant of his still burning vestment, he picked up his gun and thrust the barrel into the crumbling earth and stone at one side of the hugu rock. The mas, yielded by piecemeals to his exertion, and with the energy of a man entombed alive and desperate for liberty, he worked heroloally, digging up the earth and prizing away great fragments of reck. Hope nover forsook him, and after seven hours of incessant labor, during which the work of a Titan was performed, he suc ceeded in making an opening large enough for hi* body, and through this hole he squeezed himself. In his bleeding aud blis tered bands h* held the twisted and battered remains of a gun, and just as the cold but friendly moon arose behind the tall pines on an opposite cliff, ho passed out, pale, hag gard aud grimy, into the chilly night. The Kesult of Merit. W hen anything stand* a test of fifty year* among a discriminating people like the American*, it is pretty good evidence that thero i* merit somewhere. The value of a medioin# i* beat proved ly it* continued use from vear to year by the same per*o:i and families, as well as by a steady increas ing sale. Few, if any, medicines have met with such continued success and popularity as has marked the introduction and pro gress of Brandreth’s Fills, which after a trial of over fifty years, are conceded to be the safest and most effective purgat ve and blood purifier introduced to the public. That this is the result of merit, and that Brandreth’s Fills actually perform all that is claimed for them, is conclusively proved by the fact that those who regard them with the greatest favor are those who have used them the longest. -~ OPV Brandreth’s Pills are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar ooatod.— Ad.

Twenty-Six Years Bedridden and Helpless, Vet She Looks Ten Tears Younger Ttan Bhe la-She Has Not Lost the Power, but Its Use Has Grown Distasteful to Her—An Amaz ing Sense of Touch. From the .Wie York Herald It looks as if another crisis was safely passed in Mollie Fanoher’s checkered life, a* if the wondrous woman who has lived so long upon the border land of death may live there still for many years to oome. The January sun shone yesterday, as it has shone for six-and-tweutv winters, through the curtained windows of her home at Downing street and Gate* avenue, Brooklyn. It mado laoed shadows on the floor and on the snowy counterpane of the invalid s bed. It fell upon the pleasant face of the pa tient woman who has borne such incredible one of agony and prostrate helplessness, who has been chained to her bed as Pro metheus to his rack, while the slow years have rolled over her, while disease, starva tion, thirst have plucked fleroely for hor life, while her luminous spirit has wandered in the mazes and the biacknes. which lie in the great undiscovered country beyond the realms ef consciousness. LIKE THIRTEEN YEARS AGO. The face of a woman of 4-’, it looked like one cf 35. The short hair lav In pleasant disorder upon it. The sightless eyes which long ego were changed for more far seeing and wondrous windows—mental or psycho logical, no ono knows—were curtained by long lids heavily fringed with lashes. The complexion was almost radiant in its purity and beauty. It was angelic—mingled ala baster ar.d rose. It almost made her beauti ful. Yet the doctors say that it is but the flower—the fatal blossom—born of her latest disease, dropsy. Thirteen years ago, when Mollie Fanchcr had spent naif of her present term in bed, she had just such an attack as her recent ono. TbeD, as now, it was though that she was dying, really on the threshold of disso lution, aud her friends remarked upon the plumpness of face and limb aud tne seeming return to youthfulness. But then, as now, sho beggared expectation and again laughed death around the corner. DEATH SHUNS TUB TAMILY. To an old friend who oalled upon her yes terday Miss Fanchor said: "Can I ever die? There is nothing of me left to die.” And he, wondering at the miracle before him—wondering at this strange and inex plicable exception to nature’s mandates, asked himself the selfsame question. It has been asked many times before. Indeed, it seems as if death shunned the Fancher family. It is a long-lived one, aud tranoos seem to be a birthright in it, Dollie Fanoherof Westchester county, was a centenarian. Philo, the uncle of the Brooklyn heroine, was almost 99 when he died last .Saturday. Many brookl vu people of the older gener ation will remember the awful story of Sarah Fancher, half sister or cousin, I am not sure which, of Mollie. While her hus band, a sea captain, was at sea she died, or seemed to die, and wss placed in a receiving vault in Greenwood cemetery. When tho husband leturned and demanded a view of his dead wife’s face •he coffin was opened, and amid the snowy draperies was found the corpse—now a cornea indeed—turned over wnile the faco bad beou clawed with her nails and her hair and grave clothes had been torn from the writhing body. Buried alivo aud in a trance she had awakened to the truth and died. Her husband, when ho saw that frozen horror before bis eyes, went stark staring mad upon ths spot. THE CRUELTY OF SCIENCE. So it has often been with Mollie Fan cher. So, many a time she has lain for weeks the counterfeit presentment of death. And, had it not been for the skill and watch fulness of the dootors she might have suffered. Many a time they have brought her back by manipulation, from a living death to a suffering life. To what good pur pose? I leave it for them to say. it seems a little strange, yet it is true, that many of the herald's younger readers do not know the story, infinitely pathetic, of Mollie Fancier's luminous and wondrous life. Her case has baffled science. It has perploxed rhe wise aud taught great lessons to all who wero willing to learn. SPUN AROUND LIKE X TOP. Sept. 10, 1800, she was brought as a pupil to the Brooklyn Heights Seminary by her aunt, Mrs. Crosby. She sat 14 years old aud was a beautiful girl of delicate consti tution and gentle manners. Five years later, as she was about to graduate with high honors, her nervous system began to break down. She did not eat and sleep as a girl of 18 ought. Prof. West advised a rest aud a course of horseback lessons, and one day. riding abroad with her riding master, she was thrown and had two or three of bor ribs broken. She was otherwise badly in jured, but recovered sufficiently, however, to get about again. In 1805 she met with another accident. On stepping from a street car in Brooklyn her skirt was caught and she was dragged over the pavement a block. By this accident her nervous system was so shattered that she never recovered from its effects. In the early part of 1866 she would throw herself into all sons of contortions. She would bring her head aud feet together and roll over the floor like a hoop. She would stand on her toes and spin like a top. This was in the month of February. When in this violent state it would require several persons to watch her. DuriDg that month she lost all her sen nos, even the sense of touch. She was then given chloroform to relax her jaws so that she could take food, which was forced down her throat, but her stomach would not bear it. She turned upOD her right side and be came rigid, her right arm folded in behind her head, her fingers and thumbs clinched in upon the palms. For niue years she lay thus, her muscles only relaxing when chloroform was administered. For nine years she lived this living death and there were times when, save for the warmth ebout her heart, she gave no signs of life. Her limbs were cold as ice and she was pulseless. A DISCOURAGED GIFT. Then came a period of transition, of awful anguish, and the frozen muscles re laxed. Whereas she had before had but one sense remaining to her—that of touch —she now had speech and hearing and a wonderful inner sight, like that of clairvoy ants. This lasted for gome years. She has it yet, indeed, but she has steadily dis couraged tha gift, and of late years has sought not to use It. But that she has the power of second tight no one who knows hor, medical or lay, doubts for an instant. All places are alike open to her mental vision. Distance interposes no barriers. No retirement, however suoluded, but yields to her penetrating vision. This power, of course, is conflued to objects and persons that Interest her. Hhe will dictate the contents of sealed letters without a sin gle error. She will visit the famiiy circles of her friends in distant towns aud tell what tboy are doing and describe their per sonal attire. Persons entering the house of her aunt, wnether acquaintances or strangers, are instantly recognized. Any article which has been mislaid she sees and tells whore it can lie found. She discrim inates the most delicate shades of color. She works in embroidery and wax without any patterns. Her wax flowers are marvels of beauty. She never studied botany or took a lesson in wax work, and yet she never makes a mistake in the form of a flower or leaf. WONDROUS HANDICRAFT. Holding her pen or pencil in her left band, she writes with extraordinary rapidity, the letters being well formed and legible. She wrote a poein of ten verses in as many min utes, her thoughts flowing with the rapidity of lightning. In cutting velvet leaves for pincushions she holds the scissors by the knupcklee of thumb and finger of left hand, and bringing the velvet with thumb and finger or right hand—both hands being bo hini her head—she outs the leaves a sharp a* it they had been cut with a die. In the early part of her illness she cut over 2,000 of these. When she passed from the rigid to the limp condition she forgot all that oc curred during the nine years and liegan to talk of matters at tho tune of the car accl dent. The nine years have been a blank and are still so to her. One seuse—the sense of touch—but what a world it opened np to her' With it she could read with five times the rapidity of one by eyesight. She read by running her finger over tho printed page as well In daikueeeasin light. With tbis rente she could discriminate the photographs of friends, the faces of persons in the room, etc. Bhe never sleeps. She dees her must delicate work in the night, preferring night today. Her rest is taken in the traune state, which answers for sleep. She per forms none of tbs ordinary functions of life unless it be that of breathing. Mho receives nothing and girss oat nothing uuless it is insensible perspiration. Her circulation of blood is sluggish, and. as a oousequonce, there is very little animal hear. CONDUCTS ▲ BUSINESS. When her good aunt died away from her and Mollie continued to live in spite of everything, she found that she had no sub stance to live upon. So she went to work aud ooncelvel the plan of the embroidery store in the first floor of her homo, and un der her orders it was opened. It is she who directs the business, through hired hand*, aud many of the goods sold over the counter oome from her well trained mid lightning-like fingers. The busine.s is rathor small, but prosperous. It need not be otherwise, for assuredly no other wo man's needs were less. Her seusitive nerves crave the cold, and she will have no heat in her room. For food a fe w drops of acid fruit juice or a taste of a pickle suffice. The rest is little enough. And eo she lingers on, smiling, cheerful, brave, a monument of pntienco and modest Christian virtues. True, indeed, is it that Moilio Fanoher will not die soon, for thougn the spirit and tho body may broak company the example will live for generations, and in the wouder which will surround her physical ense must ever be mingled a sense of awe and reverence for the sweet, indom itable human soul. Only a patient woman could be so unconquerable.
