Mexican Matters.
City ot Mexico, via. Elpaso, Oct.
20, A telegram from she capitoi
of Guatemala, received in this city
yesterday morning, stating that
seventeen revolutionary leaders
liad been captured and shot by
Eras. Kamilas, has given rise to
some startling rumors hSre. One,
which has gained currency, is that
the revolution had been started in
thmountainous districts of Gua
temala, bordering on the stale of
Chiapas, by Gen. Jdsrundia, and an
exiled Guaiemalian, now resident
m this city, and that lie had been
furnish;: l arms and money for the
3 evolutionary scheme by Mexicans
and parties in New v ork. It ap
pears from tho most authentic
sviirees that the revolutionists,
though stilt fighting, have been
worsted in every en murder with
lire republican troops, and many of
the leaders have been captured and
i jot. With the batch of executions
reported to-day, twenty-four lead
er have so far been executed by
! the forcer, of Barillas. It is said
hero that Gau. Barundia’s scheme
successfully carried, lie would have
|
, made himself president of Guate
, njalia, and would have formed Ids
cabinet from exiles of the republic
now living here. It is the g moral
be lief that the revolution has mis
carried in every particular, and
that the scrub battles will soon
come to a close, and Barillas will
remain president of the republic.
It is not known here whether or
not the Mexican government is in
possession ©f any information upon
the subject, but it is believed thyt
it has kept itself posted, from the
fact that nearly all of (he fighting
has been done in the neighborhood
of its Chapter frontier,
In’llie Woods.
With the exception of the katy
dids and tho throbbing lyres of
vesper tree, crickets, or an occasion
al load, the woods, however, are
usually comparatively silent, at
night. It is in tho wet low lands
where we find the chief nocturnal
activity. The midnight summer
swamp or marshy pond is literally
palpitating with a life unknown to
sunlight; the rippling moon danc
ing a filigree attendance among t he
reads, and spec ting in wavy chase
across the deeps peopled now with
pouts and eels, which the daylight,
angler would have sought in vain.
The lizards' tails (Saururus) shake
their drooping plumes with a trem
or all inconsistent with the listless
breeze. The pickerel weeds s'ir
with submerged life, and the quiv
ering tips ot the reeds betray the
rude progress ef the,turtles toward
the shore, as they sock the sandy
banks to pile their nests of eggs.
The placid ot the pond is vexed
with multitudinous tickle, marked
by the spjngling touch of the
moonlight insect broods/ of flutter
ing cadis Hies now making their
first essay with their new found sit
in wingj, emerging by 1 lie legion
from their water baskets or crystal
mosaic tubes, everywhere among
the bodering shallows; while myri
ad ep heme rie spread their pallid
wings, and dance their midnight
revels, making merry through Jarir
shart, sunless day of life, which,
perchance, ends with the dawn.
Tho muskrat, or the ro’nk, leads a
long, silent, glittering trail across
the glassy water, or with a splash
at tho brink, sets tho lily pads and
spatter docks in gliding dance on
the ripples, and starts upon their
telltale chase across the pond a
lined red gleaming circles at whose
common center, though hid in ver
durous gloom at tho bank, a ran
dom rifle ball would surely win its
sleek and dripping quarry, now
crouched in muddy tracks, with
luckless prey of frog or tadpole.
What with the sprightly pipes of
the hyla treetoads now celebrating:
their nuptials in their native ele
meat, and later the tremulous
droid of the toads, and the tramp
and splash ®1 the bullfrog, together
with the rasping accompaniment
of the cone head imps among tin
sedges, tho midnight swamp will
sing in our ears till morning.—[ YV.
