The Tables Turned.

President Diaz, of Mexico, had a narrow escape not long ago. It is his habit to go out shooting on Sunday near the city, attended only by liis little son, his nephew, one servant and three or four friends, and a plan had been formed to surround and capture the party aud hold the President to ransom. Fortunately, he was detained one Sunday, just as lie was about to leave the National Palace by some important telegrams, which required liis immediate attention, and in this way escaped, the band of robbers being themselves surprised as they were lying in wait for him.
