THOMAS SHAY AGAIN IN TRouBLE-We yesterday
noticed the adventures of Thomas Shay oafer, Mon
day evenlng-duly recording the manner in which he
stumbled into and took possession of the kitchen of A
family living in Market Row-how Capt Page showed
him out, and finally landed him in the cage for Mapping
In the street. The Mayor discharged Shay from Gus
tody Tuesday morning, after assuring him that if caught
again mapping he would certainly be committed Shay
thanked his Honour for his cemency and left the Court
ROOM After loahng about the city the remainder of
the day, he finally concluded to procure lodgings at
night For this purpose he proceeded to a small ene-
ment situated on 18th street, between Main and Cary
streets, occupied by the family of a sea-farng man
named Snow. 1t appears that on the return of Mrs.
Snow from the vessel on which her husband shipped
(whther she had been to carry his supper she found
Shay at the door, endeavourng to get into the house.
She ordered him away, but he refused to leave There
upon she locked the door and returned the vessel for
the purpose OF acquantng her husband with Shays
ceedings. Snow and his wife accordingly returned to
the house for the purpose of looking after Mr. Shay
Upon reaching it they discovered that several pieces of
weather boarding had been ripped off the house. and on
entering of the rooms discovered couple of bas-
kets and skim fire. After putting out the fire
search was instituted for the ncendiary Snugly slowed
away under bed in the room, they found the vertabe
Thomas Shay. The wachmen called, and Mr..
Shay duly delivered to them. He therefore again
appeared before the Mayor yesterday morning. and in
default OF $500 security for his Offences was
committed TO Jail

From the N. o. Picayune of June II.
FROM MEXICO

We received yesterday files of papers from Mexico
which, though no later than had previously come to
hand, contain several items OF news.
A kind OF an insurrecton had broken out in the city
of Pueblo among the officers and soldiers composing the
battalion OF lturbde 1t seems that Senior Mugica re-
Gently Governor OF the State, had, account OF i'll
health obtained leave of absence during which d. Bal
tazar turlong exercised the functions OF the gubernao
rial office. This gave good chance for pronunc ia
mento to the unquiet spirits the army and accordingly
they took up position and issued proclamation de-
caring thatt would never lay down their arms till
Senior Mugica resumed the Governorship.
If they had remained firm in this determination they
would very likely have had hard time of it, as the
respectable gentleman would not come when called on
but positively refused have any thing to do with the
affair or the Government either OF course after this
The insurgents had nothing to do so they surren-
dered at discretion.
In Huamantla some difficulties of a more serious ma
ture had occurred number of conrabandists attack
ed the soldiers who guarding the tobacco, and
drove them off Three hundred and Two pieces OF
artillery were instantly despatched the of dis
order
A disputed boundary question between the States OF
New Leon and Tamaulipas is about to be referred to a
Joint commission. la this way is thought amcable
settlement can be procured.
The papers still contain accounts OF the terrible ra
wages of the cholera. In Tobasco the disease had
broken out with great violence. AT Queretaro the
number of deaths since the commencement OF the epi
demc amounted to 1913. The Government has decided .
in the cholera should attack the capital, to form
new cemetery at Moline del Rey.

Dance hght, for mig heart lies under your feet.

Dance hght, for my heart lies under yoa' feet.
"Ah, sweet Kitty Neil, rise up from that wheel
our neat little foot will be weary from spinning,
Come, trip down with me, to the sycamore tree
Halt the parish there, and the dance is beginning
The sun is gone down, but the full harvest moon
Shines sweetly and cool on the dew whitened valley
While all the air rings with the soft, loving things,
Each little bird sings in the green shaded alley.
With blush and smile, Kitty rose up the while,
Her eye in the glass as she bound her hair glancing
It's hard 10 refuse, when young lover sues
So she couldn't but choose TO go Oft TO the dancing
And now on the green, the glad groups are seen--
Each gay hearted lad with the lass of his ehoosinp
And Pat without fail, leads our sweet Kitty Neil
Somehow, when he asked, she meier thought of refl
sing.
Now, Felix Magee puts his pipes to his knee,
And, with flourish so free, sets each couple in notion
With cheer and bound, the lads pater the ground
The maids move around Just like swans on the ocean
Cheeks bright as the rose--teet light she does,
Now coyly retiring, now boldly advancing
Search the world all around from the sky 10 the ground
No such sight can be seen as the Irish lass dancing
Sweet Kate who could view your bright eyes OF deer
blue,
Beaming humidity through their dark lashes so mildly
our r-turned arm heavng breast, rounded form,
Nor feel his heart warm and his pulse throb wildly
Poor Pat fee Is his heart ashe gazes depart
Subdued by the smart OF such painful but true love;
The sight leaves his eyes, as he cries with a sigh
Dance hight, for mig heart ii lies under your feet
