The success of Buffalo Bill in London has made others envious, and he will now have to look to his laurels. A Home paper says : —“ Mexican Joe has sailed for Liverpool on the N at; ional line steamer Italy, with fire iu his steel-blue eyes and a razor-edged bowie in his left boot leg. Mexican Joe, iu the seclusion of his tepee,.is known as Captain Joe bhel'ey. He has a Cbihuanuan maid for a wife and a reputation as a ' Ba-ad man, ’ with a big B. He is lightning on trigger and lives in the saddle. As captain of a band of Texan rangers he decked the woods about ban Antonio with horse thieves as one bangs trinkets on a Christmas tree. He was chief of scouts to General ( rook in 1882 when he hunted down the bloodthirsty Gtromino and his murderous Apaches. As the captain stood ou the Italy’s deck (says the Herald) the wings of his sombrero flapped iu the salt breeze which toyed with his chestnut locks, and was wafted up his blue Mexican trousers as up a funnel. Mexican Joe is going to set up the glonest kind of an untamed show in Liverpool, and he took the material with him He took a long black Hawk, a Sioux chief, who counts his scalp locks by the score and who once g< t away single-handed with a 10-gallot> demjohn of post trader’s whisky. Black Hawk heads a band of Sioux, children of the woods and of the praire; distinguished all on the warpath in the hunt, and on the scout.”
