GALVESTON, July fS-The tliai,olieai
outrage committed by a Mexican mob
upon the American consul at Monterey,
Mexico, and destroying the furniture
and papers belonging to the consulate
on the night of the 10th, has been the
chief topic, of comment, and speculation
is rife here as to the action OF the
American government in regard to the
affair. From prominent gentleman
who was on board the Mexican National
train at the time of It's capture and ar
rest OF train officials at Sustamente for
the alleged killing of a Mexican by
railroad men some few weeks ago, your
correspondent got the following state
ment of the condition of affairs in the
cactus republic. He stated that the
feeling throughout the territory pene-
trated by the Mexican National Rail-
way was extremely bitter prior to the
Bustamente affair, AID that seemed to
incite the populace to q still greater
degree of hatred, and this was
especially the feeling manifested
at Monterey, the seat of the recent out
rage, where they held that the Mexican
National railway was killing the pros
perity of Monterey and diyerting its
trade into other channels; that the anti
DIaz party, aided by the Larovistra, pub
lished at Monterey, and the leading or
gan, were active in fomentlng this spirit
of outrage and melting the ignorant
populace against Americans ard Ameri-
can enterprise; that the true state of af-
fairs in Mexico and the hostility of the
Alexlcans TO everything American
had been studiouslY suppressed by
the Mexican National and other
railway companies constructing lines In
Mexico; that it was his opinion from
actual observation and a dispassionate
view of the situation that still greater
outrages against the Americans would
speedily follow the Monterey affair, I'M
less the American government took
prompt action to redress the insult to
her consul, and gave the Mexican goy-
eminent TO emphatically understand that
American citizens and capital must be
sacredly protected or it would interfere
and establish protectorate over
that country. The gentlemen
stated that this feeling of intense hatred
agraInst Americans was shared almost
exclusively by tue lower order Of Next
cans that the aristocracy, with few ex-
ceptions, were friendly and anxious t.
see the wonderful and varied resources
of their prolific country developed by
American enterprise and capital The
views of this gentlemen conceded with
those of other os3servant men who haYe
recently returned from Mexico, and with
whom your correspondent conyersed.

The operators who rcinainsd at their
keys did very little work NJ FIRST and
were interested spectators Long iines
Of opesnt,rs were soon fling down the
stairs On their fees were
depicaisa various enauons.
The majority were hilarious
but there were not wanting
those whose features bore traces of uu-
certainty and fear for the future. Many
were though ffnl and evidently appre.
ciated that the strike must mean long
weeks of idIeness with scanty salary.
The general feeling was one of conf
dcncc, however. and the determination
20 win was The watchword. as soon as
the advance guard Of strikers reached
the basement the many hum
dreds 9f cnFians people
who were tlts.ro and in The street about
the building sent up 4 btief shout, thus
spreading the news In. few minutes
more the bulletin boards were posted
giving the facts. and the long contem-
plated and much talked of strike had
begun and vas fully known at all the
news ceniers That II had been largely
discussed in .the gossip of the past week
did not prevent ITS being received as
sensation. At the general Offices of the
cdInpaay there was unusual activity and
hustle, bnt no excitement, the officials
being prepared for the strike and in
formed Of ifs extent. There was
no disiarbance of the as
sdeiated press wires which tap

81 s,h!a, with their tributary territory,
those wiresfi,eing manned 81 associated
press telegraphers, who have made no.
demand and have no grievance. The
general sentiment of The operators and
officials was that the news Of the eoun-
try would be taken care Of, thu operators
having only the lSindest feelings to-
ward the press.
Shortly after the strikers went out q
band of recruits, most of them ladies. en-
tered the building and were ushered up
Ia the operating room where they at
once set TO work. It, Is expected Others
would be obtained during the day. Sew
eral operators who remained expressed
great surprise at the large number that
had gone out and said they thought the
strike would be q successful one.
AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, July 19.-At 70 o'clock,
Washington time, the main body ofthe
army of operators in the Western Union
Office in this city went cut on their
strike. 1t is estimated to exceed one
hundred. When they went out there
was some cheering, but nothing bolster
oIs. Outside of the buiidinga great
crowd had gathered to witness the de-
parture OF the operators and there was
some cheering as the head of the column
of.strikers made its appearance. The
operators at once marched from the
scene to the headquarters of the union
TO deliberate.

Army puniShments.

In different sections of the army, various
expedients were resorted to for the purpose
! of correcting minor offences. What partic-
ular shape the punishment should assume de-
pended very much upon the inventive faculty
of the Field and SAT-. or of such officers Of
the line AS might have charge of the case.
Before taking the field, few citizen sneak
thieves were discovered prowlirg about
among the tents. These we're promptly
drummed out of camp to the tune of the
"Rougues' March, the whole regiment
shouting in derision as the miserable fellows
took to their heels when the procession
reached the limits of the camp, where they
were told to be gone and never show their
faces in camp again on pain of a more severe
handling. II, while We were living in camp,
a man refused to do his duty, he was at once
taken to the guard-house, which is the mill
tary name for "lock-up." Once there, at
the discretion of the officers, he was either
simply confined and put on bread and water,
or else ordered to carry log of wood, or a
knapsack filled with stones, 'two hours on
and two off, day and night, until such time
as he was deemed Ia have done sufficient PEN
ance. In more extreme cases, court-mar-
tial was held, and the penalty OF forfeiture of
all pay due, with hard labor for thirty days,
or the like was inflicted.
One day, down in front of Petersburg,
number of us had been making IA friendly
call on some acquaintances over in another
regiment As we were returning home, we
came across what we took to be a well, and
wishing drink, we all stopped. The well
in question, as was usual there, was nothing
but barrel sunk in the ground; for at some
places the ground was so full of springs that
in order to get water, all you had to do was
to sink box or barrel, and the water would
soon collect of its own accord. Stsoping

Apple Harvesting.

The apple harvest begins soon, and for
this one principal hint is needed. Care"
should be the maxim throughout. In
picking and handling the fruit it should
be treated as il it were as liable to dam
age by rough usage as eggs would be. In
putting up for market. remember that
neat packages attract the eye OF the buyer
while dirty barrels will detract more from
the selling price oi the fruit than would
be the cost of a clean barrel. Use care
in selecting the fruit. Do not put bruised
'wormy or gnarly specimens among the
first quality. One barrel of imperfect
ones among ten barrels of first quality are
enough to reduce the whole lot to the
grade of seconds in the market-place, and
such had better be thrown away. Some
even make three qualities--extras, tirsts
and seconds-and find it pays to do SO. The
practice of putting a layer of the largest and
finest at each end of the barrel is much con-
demned, but the market has become SO ac-
customed to it that most buyers would
grade barrel as second quality if they
did not find them topped OUT with a few
extras Yet where one has enough SO
that he can put these extras in separate
barrels and have the others run evenly
throughout, he can soon establish n repu-
tation which will make this the most pro-
titable way. After packing allow the bar
rels to stand open few days to sweat and
dry off. as they will do this better in the
barrel than in the heap. Then press the
head in firmly and put the hoops on even
ly so that there will be no rattling OF the
fruit in the barrel. and no bursting of the
heads on the way to market. Set in cool
place until ready to sell or to store in the
cellar. Before putting the apples into the
jecting which will mar the fruit. and if in
tended for distant market or for long keep
ing, it will pay to line the barrels with a
clean, stout brown paper. Do not think
that anything will do'to go into cider;
use only sound apples, and keep them
free from filth of all kinds. In the days
of natural fruit apples, it was possible
to get good glass of cider, for the fruit
was sound until ready for the mill; but
to look at some cider mills and see the
mass of rotton fruit taken up from the
ground with shovel, mixed with the
droppipgs of fowl and few tobacco guilds
and delivered to mill in the dirty farm
cart, is enough to deprive anyone of the
appetite for cider. Even if the cider is to
be used for boiling down to apple jelly,
or to be converted into vinegar, it is bet
ter if made from sound fruit and handled
with care. In the nei ghborhood of large
orchards. a fruit evaporator would be
more profitable than cider mill, as it
would take many apples only slightly
bruised or otherwise defective. but not
really fit for barreling, at much better
prices than they would be worth for cider.
