The news of the verdict in the famous
Emma mine suit was received here by the
Acapulco" The following taken from
the Star and Herald expresses the senti-
ments of many of the residents of Isthmus.
As will be seen from extracts we publish
from the New York papers, Trenor w.
Park has been fully INDICATED by jury OF
his countrymen. The Emma mine affair
was no swindle. 1t was legitimate spec
ulation and IL there was any blame, 1t may
be taken upon themselves by those ready
"Promotors" of the British metropolis,
like Baron Grant and others. who are al
ways on hand to gull the British public.
Henceforth people can talk less of Yankee
cunning and think more about those ways
that are dark" on the other side of the At
lantic.
Thousands of pelIcans are TO be observed
fishing in the Bay. 1t is curious TO watch
them either singly or in flocks, pluDging
with a splash into the water after their
finny prey.
Some people indulge in certain amount
of romance about this bird-that the moth
or feeds her young from her own blood,
etc.,-but there is no truth in such yarn.
There is probably no more unlove,y orni-
theological specimen, than this fame peli-
can. Awkward and ungainly In its move
ments, most sombre-colored, covered with
lice, and decidedly offensive to the sense Of
smell, there is nothing torecommend near
acquaintance. AS in 30 many other cases,
distance lends the only enchantment.
There is an eternal fitness OF things; at
least so the learned tells us, and the state
ment has many corroborating illustrations.
For instance, the proprietor OF the Grand
hotel Panama, is a humane man, who
knows and deplores the need his guests
have of brain food. He therefore buys all
the big fishes in the market. The other
morning one was brought in weighing over
100 lbs. He Cor it) was cut open, and,
nicely slowed away Jonah-wise, was found
four pound Spanish mackerel. 1t was
perfectly fresh and fitted exact.
The Panama railroad company has re-
ceived 500 tons OF steels rails at Aspinwall,
which will be laid down Immediately on the
Panama end Of the line. In 1874 about the
same quantity was laid down, from the
summit towards Panama, and the present
supply will very nearly, If not quite, renew
the track to this terminus, giving ten miles
of splendid track on the Pacific slope. 1t
the same amount could be laid down each
year, the road would soon be entirely re-
newed and would then be first class.
The steamship "South Carolina" arrived
at Panama on the 14th inst, bringing be-
sides other cargo, 1898 bags coffee. The
"Salvador" followed on the 10th with H.
996 bags making grand total of 1919, 900
bags received since the first of January,
100 900 of which have been brought over
the road and shipped from this port. This
is an increase of about 90, 900 bags over the
corresponding time last year.
Since the first of January 1877, so, 1000
bags cocoa from the South Pacific have
been transported over the road from PAna-
ma, being an increase of thirty thousand
over the same time last year.
From the above items some little idea
can be formed of the amount of freight
passing over the roai, and when one con-
siders the quantity of other produce, hides,
skins, rubber, bark, cotton, indigo, etc ,
from the South and Central America, to
say nothing of the lead mine, wool, and
merchandise from California, and ship
ments from England, France, Germany
aud from New York by the Pacific Mail
steamers, one can realize how road only
| forty-seven miles in length is 30 necessary
| to the commerce Of the countries to and
from which this freight is taken, From
April 9th to May 9th inclusive, twenty
seven working days, l,796 loaded cars
were transported over the railroad. OF
| this number 1924 were from Aspinwall and
| OIL from Panama. The average weight
may be stated at ten tons to each car, which
would give total of about IS, 900 tons Of
cargo moved during the time specified.
We are promised comparative statement
| of April 1876 and 1877, which will show,
| we understand, an increase of about 30 per
cent. This Looks encouraging and speaks
volumes in praise of the management OF
the road. Much of this increase is due to
the exertions of the present superintendent
who has certainly shown himself the right
man in the right place, he having been in.

from opposition lines, and by aid .oi

The Acapulco" will sail about the Goth,
with a cargo Of nearly 1900 tons. The
French steamer, the same date, will take
from hero over 10000 bags of coffee ant
cocoa. The "Lorne" from here April 30tt
took over 49, 900 packages, mostly coffee
and there are only few of the many iE'
stances that might be noted.
Mr.. s. Deming, who has been tempora

where 1t is to be hoped he will permanently
remain.
Seven thousand punches of bananas
