yTURBIDE EMPEROR OF MEXICO.
As the appointment of Augustine
Yturbide to the supreme executive su-
thority in Mexico, places him in sta
ton towards which all eyes will be di-
rected, curiosity may be perhaps era
tilted even with some imperfect sketches
of his biography and it may probably
afford some pleasure in its sequel.
Augustine Yturbide was born at Va
ladolid, in Mexico, about the year 1890,
for we find him in 1910 lieutenant in
the army His father, who still lives in
his Saith year at Valadolid. was Joseph
Joachim Yturbide, a native of Biscay,
in Spain, who passed from Europe in
1868, at the age of IS years. to Mexico,
and married creole lady of consider
able fortune in that city, of whom Au-
gustine is the offspring; and who was
educated at the collegiate seminary ofhis
native city He attended with his father
to the employments Of agricultural life,
by which his constitution was framed to
hardness, and his habits were formed
TO military exercises in the militia of
his province, composed principally of
cavalry. from pen with which the A
american people are familiar, we have
obtained some ofthe chief traits Of the
character of the generalssimo of Mex
leo.
Young Yturbide was distinguished
among his contemporaries of the same
age, as the leader In all youthful enter
prizes, excelling in athletic exercises,
and equally distinguished in tanning the
wild horse, as in extending his mind to
the promotion and Improvement of ag-
riculture. which formed the occupation
of his father.
He was lieutenant in 1910; but
there was so much disorder and such
want of system in the revolutionary
corps, that he deemed it useful TO COM
NIT himself under such state of disor
ganization. lie left his native pro.
vince for the capital of Mexico but his
history in the interval between this pc.
riod and when we find him at the head
OF a division, and attacked by Mcreios,
at the village of Marabatio, we have no
means to ascertain. The defence which
he made on that occasion with hand
ful OF troops. very much distinguished
him, made him known to tkesgoyern-
ment. led him to the rank of colonel,
aud he was thencsforward usually in
the command of a brigade, from the O.
piDion that had been conceived Of his
intrepidity and enterprise.
The talents which he had displayed.
and the confidence he had obtained, ex.
ci;ed jealousies, and subjected hin, to !

The former being famed IN war,

To cut Ned 8enson's not quite stauneh,
But the provocative-a haunch!

Then rapping thrice at Benson's door,
