The "Pensacola's" Fiat.
THE REAL STORY OF THE ACAPULCO OUTRAGE
NOW TOLD.

The officers of the United States steamer
Pensacola, arrived from Acapulco, bring reliable
information concerning the origin of the Acapul-
co consular difficulty, which has not yet been
published in this country. 1t seems that Mr..
Suffer, United States Consul at Acapulco, was
standing in the street before his office one day
when he was insoently accosted by notorious
rufian who had been driven from Mazaltan for
being too ferocous and lawless for even the
rough population Of that port to endure. The
fellow was insolent beyond measure, and Suffer,
who is an old man, quietly requested him to
move on. The deperado replied with blasphe-
nous oaths, and Significantly exposed the hilt OF
long and keen knife Upon this menace the
Consul withdrew into his Office and took re-
volver from his desk. The bully outside. seeing
the preparations for defence, hurled brick at
Suffer, who, perceiving that the hostities had
really commenced, fired. He had intended mere
ly to fire over the daperados head, but he aimed
low and the ball furrowed his scalp. The Mexi-
can fell, not dead but stunned, and Suffer
Immediately arrested. He was tried before a
Judge who was hostile to him, but who. with
commendable justice, acquitted him. On the
day following, the lower class in Acapulco,
probably instigated by the Mexican or his asso-
ciates,
MADE RAID
Upon the extensive plantation of German
American citizen named Kastan, one Of the rich
est rancheros in the region. The mob sacked
Kastan's dwelling, defoliated his orchards raw
aged his fields and dispersed bis focks. The
indignant American reported the outrage and
demanded Consular interference. Sutter imme-
diately laid the matter before President Diaz
claiming damages of from 100000 to $3.50 900.
Diaz forthwith wrote an official account of the
outrage to General Jiminez, bis comInandaDt at
Acapulco, desiring him to make as speedy resti-
tuition as possible. Jiminez was at that time
military Governor of Acapulco He received
Diaz Instructions with jeers. and refused point
blank to move 10 the matter. Sstter, perceiv-
ing the state of the affairs wrote formal protest
to Daz and one TO Foster, the American Min
lister at the City of Mexico. He bad hardly
performed this necessary act when he was again
arrested. at whose instigation be was unable to

notification. Foster, hearing of this additional
outrage, sent to Diaz a mandatory request for
satisfaction. Diaz forthwith apprised JimRez
that the seizure was illegal and that Suffers
procedure was justified. The President also

dispatched Senator as Commissioner to ad-
judicate the Kastan claim, in conjunction with
another Commissioner to be appointed by Suffer
or Kastan. Jimnez positively refused to re-
cognize the order. Affairs were in this critical
condition when the Pensacola, which had been
ordered to the spot from Panama by the Navy
Department. arrived and dropped anchor in the
harbor. Sntter reported the outrage to Admiral
Murray of the aAgshp. The Admiral immedi-
ately trained his big guns on the town. ordered

CRUEL MANA CEMENT OF YOUNG
CHILDREN.

Young children will learn to creep, to
stand ON their feet, to move their limbs
and to walk just as soon as their bones
are sufficiently firm and their muscles
properly developed to perform all that
is required of these parts when efforts
are made to stand erect or to walk. 1t
will be superlative folly for any one to
attempt to compel young child to use
its limbs before the bones have acquired
solidity and the muscles are clothed
with strength. 1t is as much practical
impossibility as it is to make piece of
Timber cord stand erect. The bones,
ligaments, cartilages and muscles are yet
weak and not able to uphold themselves
without harm. The bones of infants are
flexible. They are imperfectly devel-
oped. They contain but a small per-
centage of line, not enough to render
the bones so firm and stiff as to warrant
any great amount of physical exertion-
Of course infants must get the U.S. o.
all their muscles by exposing them. We
wish only to caution nurses and mothers
against doing this at too early period
of infantile life. How many infants are
ruined or killed in this way, heaven only
knows. Let young mothers remember
this one thing, that child will creep,
stand alone and walk just as soon as the
limbs have acquired the necessary
trength: but no sOOner.-"AgricOla," !" IN

THE POHER or MUSIC.

Chubb has not much Of an ear for
music, but he spent a considerable
sum in having his daughter taught how
to hammer piano, and ne is proud of
| her accomplishments. He was talking
with us over the. fence the other day,
when series of dreadful sounds came
from his piano through the open parlor
window. Presently Chubb remarked:
." D'you hear that? Just listen to
that, will you? That's what call
music.!'
There were a few additional bangs on
the instrument, a flourish or two, and
then more discordant humping.
"Splendid, isn't it?' said Chubb,
"Mary James Dustin the music right
out of that machine, you observe
Them's the Strauss waltzes, / believe,
she's raslin' with now Just listen"
We remarked that from the energy
displayed, Mary Jane, at least, seemed to
be really in earnest. But whether she
was treating Mr. Strauss exactly right
was an open question.
"I don't know nothin about music"
observed Chubb, "but | kin tell the real
thing when hear it, and sit and hear
Mary Jane play waltzes and the Maiden's
Prayer until it makes me cry like
child"
We asserted that if she played those
compositions as she was doing now it
would make anybody cry. a deaf mute
would she'd tears.
Listen to that now, will you ?" ex-
claimed Chubb as wild tumult of sound
came from the parlor. ''Isn't that
splendid if didn't know it was Mary
Jane a-tearin' round among them waItzes,
I'd think it was one of the .fellers who
play at the concerts. Let's so over and
hear her"
We entered the house. Mary Jane
was nowhere TO be seen, but, to the in
finite disgust of Chubb, there was rcd
haired man, with fist as big as loaf of
bread, tuning the piano. Chubb asked
us not to tell anybody, and we won't.

Il STORM OF GRAssHoPPERs.


The Washington (Mo.) Observer Of a
recent date prints the following:
Last Sunday night, at about ten
o'clock, there was an immense number
of grasshoppers passed over and through
this town. The night was very dark
but the "hoppers' came butting against
the buildings rattling against the win
dows entering the houses at the windows
and doors, and playing havoc with the
over superstitious, for many persons had
gone to bed and were IL their first sweet
sleep, as the choppers" commenced to
rattle against the glass of the windows
and jump about rooms, making an in
fernal small noise like unto parcel of
baby spirits out on their first spree. 1t
was a strange experience for those who
were awake and took the pains to go out
doors and listen to the odd small noise
that filed the air, produced by the con-
cussion of their wings and the butting
Of their heads against any obstacle in
their way. As far as could be judged
from the noise they made, they were In
great force, and came from the north go
ng in a southern direction; but many
thousands came to grief in town, either
giving out through fatigue or the many
accidents Of attempting to make night
rips without good pilots, as the next
morning thousands Of dead and manned

They were of the largest type Of Rocky

lace is fully three-fourths of a mile
yide. and those that did not perish in

THE DEAD RAILROAD KING.

Though the death of Mr.. Vanderbilt
has been long looked for, it has been re-
} ported so many times that it came at last
as something of surprise. He was a
vigorous fighter, and beat whoever was
unfortunate enough to contend with him,
and his wrestle with the last great enemy
was long one, and it almost seemed for
a time that death would be thrown.
| Mr.. Vanderbilt was one of the strongest
men in this community, and his remark
able success was due quite as much to
the original yigor of his nature as to the
wisdom of its direction and the excep-
tional circumstances of the time in
which he lived. For sheer, downright
force of nature he had few equals and no
superiors among his contemporaries. He
was one of the Carlylean heroes in his
way-one of those aboriginal facts that
cannot be disposed of. In the circle in
which he moved for the last twenty
years he was the event. lie made no
secret of his methods, claimed no genius.
pretended TO no exceptional qualities, |
and never had his head turned by craze
of any sort; he simply kept his strong
hand on the long end of the lever, and |
every advantage he gained was used to
give him better purchase. He worked
for one end, and gained it by a system
attic and energetic concentration of him
self upon it. 1t was Napoleonism in bu-
siness-the whole force thrown irresisti-
bly, on one point. His rivals yielded.
He has ploughed his name into the rail
roadway system of this country
in a furrow which cannot !.be
levelled. He belongs to TIE system, and
its evils and benefits, its defects and
merits, are due to some extent to his
mind. He found the community anx-
