Some ommuous stirring is taking place over across the Rio Grande, and here and there in the various states ot Mexico. The robbers are plying a quicker and, generally, a more profitable trade than they have at any time these ten years. Strange old faces scarred, eagre, question ing are seen of tner of late than at any time these last ten years. A sort ot restlessness can be felt about the border towns the coming and going ot armed horsemen, clad not in the uniform of the nation, w hich has not been seen or felt before these last ten years. Heretofore, such signs or symp toms as these have universally beto ken revolution.
