The Mexican Outrages.

A Washington dispatch says Maj.
Ben Perley Poore and William Walter
Phelps, the sole survivors of the Sena-
torial excursion, have returned from
Mexico. They report very disturbed
condition of affairs upon the Rio Grande
border. They fully confirm the Ameri-
can side of the story, and place the re-
sponsibility for the border outrages upon
the ex-Mexican Gen. Juan Cortina and
his raiders. The Moxicans along the
border maintain that the portion of
Texas bounded north by tho Nueces
river still rightfully belongs to Mexico,
and in making these inroads they claim
to be expelling intruders upon their own
soil. 1t is practically impossible for in
dustrious settlers to maintain themselves
anywhere within that district. Maj
Poore was the bearer of confidential dis
patches for our Minister in Mexico to the
State Department.

THE YOUNG FOLKS.
Roberts Nicknames.


There was boy, and for u name
OF course he did not want.
Twas Robert, but with every one
His nickname was ~ can't"
Because, when any task was given
To him of any kind,
Instead Of trying to do his beet,
81 can't" he always whined.
To cure this fault his parents tried
To hit upon some plan,
" Because said they, 4" IL such the boy,
Pray what will be the mani"
They bought a parrot that could talk;
II soon learned Roberts name.
" i can't, - / can't" a." | can't" II screamed
Soon as in sight he came.
Twas so at morning and at night,
Twas so day after day;
"Tbat hateful bird :" would Robert cry,
al wish 'twere miles away"
He learned at last TO say an try"
Whatee he had TO do;
The parrot heard the words so oft
That soon IL learned them, too.
"I1l try" "I1l try "Ill try" ii screams
without a word of blame,
"Ill try p" is Roberts nickname now
he seems to like the name.

squirrels in the cages to DO devoured by
the reptiles. The terror and struggles
and final death of the poor little beasts
in the presence of the horrible scrpents
were enjoyed rs a pleasing spectacle by
those who have hankering after such
sights. AS rule, the mice meet death
with a trembling non-resistance, but
sometimes the squirrels show a gallant
fight for life. The other evening, relates
the Commercial, bright squirrel was
placed in diamond snakes den to be
deyoured. and in the battle which ensued
killed it's -fanged antagonist. The
brush-tailed little eonquerer is to be

Mrs. RoUsDY, the English actress,
created sensation at the Grand Opera
House, Cincinnati, one night re-
Gently, 10y coming before the
curtain Mt the close of the act,
and making bitter speech, complaining
of the support. She said one actor had
got drunk, and his part had to be read
by another. She felt mortified to have
to appear under such circumstances,
which, she declared, was the most dis
graceful she had ever met. A long wait
followed this speech. The members OF
the stock company looked on it as an in
suit, and refused to proceed without an
apology. At last the curtain was rung
up, and the play proceeded, but was in
terrupted in the middle of the second act
by a shaking of the scenery, as if moved
by an earthquake. Mrs. Rousby ordered
the curtain down. In five minutes tao
curtain went up, and the play proceeded.
1t was discovered that the commotion
was the result of discussion back of the
flats, between the Earl of Essex and n
super, about Mrs Rousby's speech. The
super sustained her, whereupon the Earl
knocked him down.

A FORMIDABLE rival of Bret Harte and
John Hay is looming up in Indianapolis,
where a detective recently testified as
follows on the witness stand: "Pearl
chinned me to take this house work; this
was not at the Sheenys. He told me to
cheese it on the Sheeny, rs he had given
him away then asked him what kick
up he and the Sheeny had, as my mob
had split on me, and left me without a

A PROVOKING piece of impotence was
recently perpetrated upon Miss Emily
Soldene, the opera boutfe singer, in New
Orleans. A superb boquet was thrown
upon the stage, and the fair artist, after
smiling sweetly upon the young man
who threw it, stopped to pick it up
just before her fingers touched it, it was
suddenly withdrawn, string having
been attached to it or that purpose.
The gifted youth has been heavily fined
for the outrage.

A TREMENDOUS explosion recently 90
CURED in San Fra ,cisco, caused by the
carelossness of single individual, one
Clark, and resulting in tho death of sew
eral persons. One Of the local journals
thus pleasantly suggests an epitaph for
the man who caused the sad disaster
The explosion which cost so many
persons their lives was caused by a
spark from pipe, which the man Clark
was smoking, dropping into some pow
der. They need not look for Clark s
brains but when they get the rest of
him together they ought to bury the
fragments in a prominent square, and
erect over them monument, containing
the inscription Sacred to the memory

THOSE California editors are pointed,
if not polite. Here is what one in Anna
dor county says of his neighbor " Now
we will inform the sweet-scented evader
of truth and honesty who runs the little
niger nose-rag across the street that he
cannot run any of his Internal lies down
our throat. for we know him too well to
believe anything he says, even under
oath. He has also been attempting to
ram a batch of his lies down the throats
of the people of this county in regard to
his honesty while in Office, but, judging
from the opinions we have heard ex-
pressed upon the subject, the majority
of them are about as distrustful of his
veracity as we are.

THE beretta which was recently be
slowed upon our new Cardinal McClos-
key with such ceremony, by the Papal
ambassadors, is not the Cardinal hat
proper, but a simple skull-cap, to be
worn at the pleasure of its possessor.
The Cardinal hat, which is to be given
Cardinal McCloskey at the hands of the
Pope in Rome at some subsequent date,
is never worn upon the head, and APP
pears only on important occasions, when
it is carried at the side of the Cardinal

FRANCIS Convoy had great deal Of
confidence in his constitution when at 80
years of age he came to this country
from Ireland twenty-three years ago. He
sawed wood for living in New York
until one day last week, when he caught
a cold, which developed bronchitis, and
he died, aged 1O3. There is no knowing
how long he might have lived if he could
have kept from taking cold. His wife
died three years ago, aged 81, and he left
four or five children ranging from 60 to
20, who will now have to saw their own
wood and take care of themselves. 1t is
a very healthy family of orphans, and oil
expect to step into the next century.

A CURIOUS fact is noted by Prof. Hay
den in his description of the Blue Range
of mountains in Colorado. This is the
discovery of vast quantities of dead
grasshoppers on the masses of snow lying
on the sides of these rugged mountains,
where bears eagerly seek them for food.
AT certain seasons of the year, the Pro
lessor says, the air is filed with grass
hoppers, apparently flying i'll every di-
rection, to a height beyond human vision.
1t is probably, he thinks, that they be-
come chilled in flying over these high
peaks, and, dropping down on the snow,
perish.

HENRY c. Bowen says there has been
q vast amount of lying and perjury in
this Beecher business, and he insists that
the chief periurer in the case should not
be permitted to leave the court room
after the verdict is pronounced without
being arrested for perjury. This opin-
ion is universally shared, except by the
guilty man himself. If the jury find a
verdict, they thereby find either Mr..
Beecher or else Mr.. Tilton and Mr.. and
Mrs. Moulton guilty of the most infa-
nous series of perjuries. If these per-
iurers remain unpublished, the law against
the crime should be stricken from the
statute book.

BRIGHAM YOU'VE, whose opinions are
valuable indicators of what civilized
communities should avoid, believes in
systematic brain-cramping. In the re-
cent Mormon conference he said: 81
am opposed to free schools. Children
should be educated under the care of
their parents, and parents should labor
and pay fer that education. All the ed
ucation a child wants is to fit him to get
his own living. Ia the prisons, gamb-
ling shops, and other dens of infamy,
you see the results of the education of
children in the free schools, and away
from the care of their parents"

warm blood trickling over has hand. She
told Wilbur he had killed his father, and

fast as he could run Mr.. J. A. Moloy and
Mr.. Sharrick were the first to reached the
melancholy scene.
A coroner's jury was summoned by A. L.
Love, Justice OF the peace for Baker town
ship, an inquest held, and a verdict render
ed in accordance with the above fact. The
boy was arrested by Constable Fanshaw,
and brought TO this place for examination
before Justice McCloskey. The examination
was held on Wednesday, when the facts
enunciated above were ELECTED. Messrs. j.
E. St. Clare, Coston & Ware, E. A Berry,
and james A Smith, appeared for the de-
iendant, and Mr.. D. D. Van Sykel, Of Girard,
for the State. After a very tedious ex-
animation, the prisoner was admitted to
bail in the sum Of $500, which was given.
This sad affair has necessarily caused a
great deal OF comment, and no little interest
has been manifested in it. Several theories
have been advanced regarding it, but the
most general one is that the boy did the
deed ON the spur Of the moment, not realiz-
ing the crime he was committing. We Tor
bear discussing the matter at present.

A New Deal on Conductors.

The following system has been adopted
by the Pennsylvania Railroad company to
prevent alleged peculation by the passenger
conductors Each conductor is supplied
with leather satchel. or box, suspended
from the shoulder by broad leather strap
with buckles and slides. The satchel has
two compartments, one for tickets and the
other for books, blanks, etc. The first is
locked at the starting terminus, has an
aperture for the reception Of tickets, and is
not accessible to the conductor. The pas
senger drops in his ticket, when directed by
the conductor, into the bag. New uniforms
are being made for the conductors. The
coats will button up to the chin, have
standing collars, with p. r. X. thereon, and
will have no pockets. A great many OF the
oldest and best conductors in the employ OF
the company say they will quit ii they are
obliged TO wear the new-fangled box it is
proposed to ornament them with.-Syracus

Camp Meeting Scene.

They charge ten cents admission to the
Pokagon Mich campmeeting. They have
different co!ored tickets for each day, and
when, last Monday, Mr. Henry Edwards
marched in on a white ticket when it ought
to have been blue, the Rev. A. Gillett, OF
Dowagiac, got up his peter Cartwright"
and seized the intruding Edwards. And
then they had it. Mr.. Edwards grabbed
trees, and the preacher grabbed Edwards.
They pummelled each other, they bit, they
choked, they kicked. But at last victory
turned on the side of the elect, and while
Mr.. Edwards dug the ground with his claws,
the preacher dragged him off the ground.
by one leg. Now Rev. Mr.. Gillett is cited
to appear before Justice Hurd and answer
to the charge of assault and battery.
