Behind and around us are hiUs, once cultivated, but now neg- lected and desolate, covered with rank grasses, wild herbs, and cactuses of every kind, some erect and stiff, some recumbent, trailing or climbing, many in flower, and a few bearing their ripened, prickly fruit. On two of the heights near the town are a couple of ancient-looking castellated edifices which were originally built as strongholds by the buccaneers. One is called " Blackboard's Castle, " and is popularly assumed to have bel...onged to the renowned pirate of that name. The other has a still more doubtful legend which describes it as the veritable mansion of that terrible Bluebeard of nursery fame ; and the dungeon of the poor lady who tried one key too many is pointed out, as well as the tower from which "Sister Ann" descried the approaching cloud of dust that heralded the coming rescue. From the fictitious chieftain we go to visit a real one. In a pleasant, airy residence, overlooking the bay, we find 2go St. Thomas the Mexican ex-President, General Santa Anna, who had sent congratulations and kind wishes to the Secretary of State on his arrival.
