April bloom (Emerson). Now shall
we notice how our swift spring heaps

spring has broken the icy letters of the

A BANOIT'H MARMNI1.
Tiburcio Vasques was a bandit. ITe
and his band ravaged at will several
of the lower counties of California.
In the wild, free, Andalumun life of
Los Angeles and Santa Clara, these
brigands found ample room and verge
enough for exploits whose recital
takes us-hack to the medieval times,
when rubber barons and predatory
knights swooped dawn upon the plains
and valleys, and boro away to their -mountain
fastnesses the spoil of beau
ty and pelf. An adventaroua and ro
Biautio career was that of Vasques
and his company. Their exploits have
furnished forth material for cheap nov
els and "blood and-thunder" dramas.
They stole, ravaged, burned, plunder
ed, and murdered in that gay and
dashing manner which fascinates cal
low youth, and sets romantic maidens '
to sighing for "such a man." The
country through which these bandits
ranged is thinly populated, ranches
and trading poets dotting at long in
tervals ilia-vast treeless plains which
lie between broody hills and mountains
cleft by "secret gorges and canyons.
For years these precious rascals defied
tbe law, and subsisted on a country.
laid ifnder contribution as thoroughly
as Mexico was under Cortex. Mothers
scared their children into silence with
the name of Vasques, afirt young men
toiling in the vineyard or sultry glebe,
looked at the dust arising from the
hoofs of his rough riders on the moun
side, half iu fear and half in admira
tion. The chief bandit bore a charm
ed life. lie was thought invulnerable.
No bullet ever reached him, and no
deputy-sheriff came near enough to
leu the eolor of bis horse.
' In an evil hour for the young rob
ber, he fell into the toils and was cap
tured, tried, convicted, and hanged by
the neck until he was dead. The bold,
dashing, handsome eaballero died the
aeatn oi a aog. lie carried bimseir
with lightness and jolly recklessness
to the scaffold; but when he was
hanged, no man in .the throng that
looked at his taking off lamented his
ignoble end. The general verdict was,
"Served him right. And so ft did.
The night before this wretch was
hanged, he asked to see his coffin.' It
was shown him. lie read curiously
the inscription which set forth that he
died "to-morrow," and be felt the lin
ing tenderly, saying: "I shall sleep
long and well here." Then ' ha dis
coursed of that silent. land into which
he was to travel, saying, with some
show of seriousness, that he was not
sure of an eternity. "The sages say
there is one," he remarked, with a
shrug of the shoulders ; and he added
that if there were an eternity of life,
be should meet all his sweethearts
next day.. Kuitting his brows, be dic
tated an address which he wished di
rected "To fathers and mothers of
children." This singular document
began thus : "Standing at the portals
of the unknown and nnkuowable
worlJ, and looking back upon the life
of this, as I have seen it, I would urge
upon you to make your greatest care to
so train, influence, instruct, and gov
ern the young to whom you have given
life, that they be aloof, as far as in the
nature of things it is possible, from
tbe degrading companionship of the
immoral and vicious. The general
welfare of society depends upon the
strict performance of this part of your
duty."
Ibis was tbe bandit's homily and
warning. To bis former associates he
dictated an equally unique address, ia
which he deprecated their reputed in
tention to make bloody reparation for
his death, and bade them to take warn
ing by his fate and change their course,
while life was left them. On the fol
lowing day, accompanied by a priest
who bade his beads and pattered pray
er, tha brigand chief stepped light
ly to the fatal tree, joked about
the dread hereafter, told the hangman
to be Quick about it, - and so was
launched into eternity.
"Yes, this is the place," said he,
sadly, and six men gathered around
him on the sidewalk and asked : "What
place?" "This is the very place," he
said, more plaintively still, and ten
more men came up and made inqui
ries. He waited until there were
about twenty-five anxious faces around
him, and thou said he : "The place
where I slipped on a coal-hole cover,
last Saturday." lie walked away, but
the air was of a lavender color in that
vicinity for half au hour.
Here is something that sould be more
gei.erally known. It is said that bed
bugs will live a year without aid or
food, if placed iu a hermetically seal
ed bottle, Persons who desire to keep
their bed bugs over the winter without
feeding them will do well to remember
this. Thus science assists the most
humble.
